We were visiting after our mini honeymoon and we came across this AMAZING restaurant. The people were delightful and attentive. The food was wonderful. They knew the regulars by name and you can tell they truly care about their patrons. We were blessed by another family at the restaurant and was told that is a regular occurrence. You guys are doing an amazing job and we thank your for your hospitality! read more

Walked in around 12pm on Sunday, hit the crowd peak time, 25 mins wait with buzzer. And we got seated in a booth chair next to the window, great view to the street . Walked in , felt homie, clean neat with homie touch decorations. This restaurant has both booth and table seating . The waitress quickly took our orders , and food served in 10 mins, photos attached for our dishes. Like the vegetable skillet-- really fresh ingredients, light seasoning, perfect for the hot summer day. Also liked the fries here, freshly fired fresh potatoes, and cheese quesadillas-- cheered kids , also the chicken strips. The portion is generous and price is reasonable. Highly recommended for family with kids, or good appetite for breakfast and lunch . Especially when you homesick, the warm and friendly waitresses and thoughtful services will satisfy by cheering your stomach ^.^ read more

One word: Amazing. From the attentive service, to the delicious and decadent food, everyone in our party was satisfied and happy. This breakfast place was a little far from where we were staying, but we wanted to explore the old town near Mandy's and stopped there for breakfast. We went around 9:30 in the morning and were seated instantly and at a booth like we wanted. I got the Hash Brown Heaven skillet and as a fan of hash browns, it was so good! It was very well served, and could be shared as it came with four pieces of toast, three eggs, and a bunch of bacon. The toast could have been also substituted by pancakes or biscuits, which was great. At our table, we also ordered Avocado Toast, an omelette, and a plate with eggs and bacon. The food was great all around and the restaurant took in substitutions very well. Also, the fruit that came with the plates, was, according to my mother, the best fruit she has ever had at a restaurant. This says a lot, as she always gets fruit! The restaurant itself was very cozy and the decor was very cute. It had a mix of decorative details from other time periods that added a nice touch. The service was so amazing. Our server were constantly refilling coffee, were very patient, and had smiles on their faces that made our breakfast relaxing and welcoming! I would come back any day for breakfast, and to try their lunch sandwiches! read more

Mandy's is one of my FAVORITE places in the county. We usually go here for breakfast but this time we went for a work lunch. This was my bosses first time at Mandy's and he really loved it and said he would be coming back. I got a club sandwich and fries, my boss got a Ruben Sandwich & Potato Salad. Everything was delicious! You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. The staff is always so friendly and attentive. read more

The food and service are great! Always has been. But sadly the facilities need some TLC. The place is starting to show its age. Outside the awning looks like it falling down, inside booth tables are leaning, windows are dirty with flies, the walls look dirty. It's just not appealing. Put some elbow grease into making it sparkle again read more

This is the first time I went there. Somehow on sunday, the line is so long. 1) Decor is cute for a small town restaurant. 2) Food is definitely very good 3) Food come out very fast, since I have been waiting for very very long time to get seated, seem that they seem to forget me. I saw people after me, already seated. Then my husband went and ask. They seated me finally after pretty long time. But then again sunday is very busy. That is ok. They said they will "make up to me" by trying to make the food faster. I was super super hungry, not feeling good. read more

Great place to have breakfast and lunch! Definitely a hidden gem. My favorite the pile high and the place it's self on the inside is beautiful. Can get extremely busy from 10am to 2pm wait time can range from 10,20 to 30 min depending on your group size. Service is great and staff are always moving up and down getting food going with a smile! Favorite spot to stop by on Sundays! read more

We came here for breakfast while visiting our friends in Twain Hart. We arrived around 10:30am and were told that it would be a 15-20 minute wait for our party 5. We were seated in less than 5! We ordered the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Biscuit Diablo and the Kid's Pancake Breakfast. We also ordered the Hot Chocolate, Peach Iced Tea and coffee. Everything was so good! The Lemon Ricotta pancakes were subtle and fluffy, the Biscuit Diablo had the right amount of heat and smokiness from the chipotle peppers - my daughter loved her breakfast as well. Pancakes were the size of dinner plates! They had so many options that sounded amazing - I'm coming back for their Sour Cherry Pancakes! Staff were super friendly and attentive even though they were packed. The inside had that diner homey feel with plenty of seating and I can't wait to come back next time we're in the area! read more

I feel like great breakfast spots tend to have a few things in common. They're often off the beaten path with an unassuming exterior, a super cozy and inviting interior (often times with cheesy decor), and friendly staff that are buzzing around to keep everyone's coffee cups filled to the brim. And Mandy's has it all. My friends live in Sonora and while I was in town visiting, one morning we woke up hungover as can be and in dire need of classic breakfast food. Without question, they loaded us up in the car and said we're going to Mandy's. While it was a busy Sunday morning, it didn't take long for us to be seating in a booth tucked away in the back corner... honestly the best place to put us. I won't lie, we were looking pretty dishoveled. Our waitress was quick to take our drink orders as we browsed the menu, which didn't take long at all. I went with an omelet, with extra crispy hashbrowns, and a pancake on the side, with as much coffee as I could take. Our food came out quickly and not a single person at the table hesitated for even a second before diving in. My omelet was fluffy and cheesy and the green peppers inside were cooked just enough. My hash browns were indeed extra crispy and that alone was enough to put a smile on my face. And my pancake was exactly what I needed for "dessert" after my meal. I absolutely understand why this spot has over 450 reviews and a five star rating on Yelp. Everything from the service to the food and atmosphere were top notch. A solid breakfast joint like this isn't always easy to come by. Sonora is lucky to have them. Until next time my friends! read more

I was just a little disappointed in this place - we had a very long wait even on a Monday mid-morning to be seated. Once we got seated the service was good. I'm not a big breakfast fan, but the food was good - not memorable. I might have enjoyed it more but it was pretty crowded & loud. My sister & I were here for her birthday but she wears hearing aids so it was hard to converse. Maybe we'll try again sometime when it's not so crowded. Looks like they have a great reputation. read more

Excellent food and service!! Not your typical greasy diner. Great selection of breakfast options. The chilaquiles were outstanding, the fruit was fresh and coffee was great. Other things ordered that were delicious: western omelette and stuffed French toast. Service was friendly and fast! Would definitely come back if we're in the area. read more

Be PREPARED to wait before enjoying your meal here. As we were willing to do. We waited about 25 good minutes prior to our handheld buzzer going off with a table alert. We were seated in a a corner of the petite establishment. Surrounded by others enjoying their meals and or waiting to enjoy. The atmosphere is loud but in a "good" morning way. We were able to order right away and I kid you not, was eating about 15-20 minutes later. Was great timing as we arrived hungry. The food was good and presented nicely. The service was nice and fast as well. We only had one small minor correction of ordering bacon but received sausages. But that was handled right away. The establishment is located off of one of their main roads next to a gas station. Parking can be a tight fit as well. They are open for breakfast and lunch only. So be sure to plan accordingly in order to have enough time to have your meal. Clean establishment was marked a plus on my list! A nice gem to visit. read more

Mandy's Breakfast House - Bacon Cheesburger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sonora, California

We were craving waffles for brunch and saw good reviews for Mandy's waffles on Yelp...and we were thoroughly delighted in the fresh, perfectly crisp yet soft golden waffles. YUMM. Topped with berries and whipped cream, with syrup and butter to add, this was such a treat! We sat at the bar and the staff were so friendly. It's a cozy and warm atmosphere, perfect for family meals. The only other feedback I'd give is that I wish the biscuits and gravy had a savory meat gravy. I really wish it was a sausage gravy but it was just a sort of thick floury slightly seasoned white cream sauce. The biscuits were divine, but we took that dish home and added sausage and seasoning to the gravy before we finished it. read more

The food is consistent and very good every time. We love coming here. The breakfast burrito is so good, ask for the salsa verde on the side. The servers are all nice and pleasant. read more

First off, consider this a positive review because I have nothing but good things to say about this place. If that's enough for you to come visit, then you don't need to read further. Mandy's is a mainstay, comfortable breakfast and lunch diner, for the folks of west side of Sonora, Columbia, and many of the visitors to the area that are looking for a great meal. many people find this place by accident, or a random lookup in Yelp. Some regulars come from as far away as Murphys and Angels Camp or "up the hill". The place is about community, family and friends. If you sit at the counter, as I have for the better part of the past two years, you'll get into the family. Just introduce yourself. A few days of that and you'll be well known. Especially if you can laugh and join in the random chats that occur. Try something new every day until you can get your favorites figured out. There are many items to choose from. If you see something you need to modify, just ask. This is the most accommodating place in the world...Mandy might lovingly say "people are picky" as she slings up the best breakfasts and lunches in town. If it's within reason, your off menu request will be met with "Sure! No problem." if you modify you order too much, you my incur a moderate additional cost. On many Tuesdays and some Sundays Mandy stands behind the grill laughing as she cooks with the rest of the crew. The rest of the time three of her cooks are taking her lead. I like to listen in as the hosts and servers banter about topics of their day, sometimes the cooks, a generally a friendly but motley crew, can be overheard and can't be ignored. i also like to watch as the cooks toss their latest creations up on the counter. Every once in a while you'll see something new and may want to try that. Do it. The best meals here are the surprises you've never seen on the menu before. Or the daily specials. when you see the name sake owner in the restaurant, ask her what she recommends you try. ive never been steered badly, My favorite for lunch is the Rueben. Lemon ricotta pancakes are a light and easily put down for breakfast. Matts Chili is the bomb, but he's not in every days, so grab it while you can...and if you like a good chili omelette, even though its not on the menu, ask for it. Matts gonna do you right. But honestly, I've never had something here I didn't like. Today one of the newer hosts could be heard saying "that's what we're known for" when one of her regulars said "I'm just here for the good time." After all if you aren't at Mandy's to have a good time and to enjoy yourself, you can go to any place in town and create a crappy experience. But if you come in to Mandy's with an attitude, you'll probably leave smiling, having had your attitude adjusted (in a thoughtful and unobtrusive way.). You'll probably notice, that if I talked about the food, I talked about the people more. Cuz Mandy's is really about people. That's the reason I'm a regular. It's the reason so many others are as well. Come and join us. read more

I've been eating here for about 8 years. Always consistent. I'm sure I've tried 15 different plates. It's one of the few restaurants I'm willing to try different plates because everything is good. Service has always been great. Sometimes there's a wait outside but that's the nature of a good restaurant. It's worth the wait. read more

We will be back. We were heading home from Yosemite and my wife saw some reviews for this place. It was every bit as good as all the reviews. When we arrived, there was a wait. They said we would be seated within 15 minutes and we were. Our server was very friendly. And all the food was really quite good. They nailed it on our visit. On our next time through Sonora, there is no doubt we will be stopping in. The food was very good, and when you toss on the friendliness of the service - it's tough to beat. read more

I discovered Mandy's several years ago while prowling around the Gold Country/Sierra Foothills, and I was so pleased that I vowed to return again the next time I was back. Once again, Mandy's did not disappoint. First off, the staff here is absolutely amazing. They are all very friendly, accommodating and efficient. I had breakfast here twice along with a lunch snuck in between over a period of a few days. They made my own omelette concoction twice for breakfast, and both times it was to perfection. The red potatoes were amazing (coming from a potato freak), and the biscuit with gravy was delish. Had the Tri-Tip sandwich for lunch, and while it was excellent, I was kind of in a rush to be able to enjoy it the way I would have liked (not their fault). Mandy's is a wonderful place for breakfast and lunch, and my only regret is not living close enough to be able to enjoy it more often. Thanks to everyone for several great experiences!! read more
