We decided to go here for lunch today, however, I don't think they did their best job, mainly regarding the service. We have always liked the food, and today was no exception. We ordered the California salad and the eggs Benedict Florentine. Again, the food was not the issue. Everything tasted great. However, the service left a lot to be desired. We felt ignored. It took at least 15 minutes for someone to come and ask us for our drink or food order. They brought us a basket of their popovers, without any small plates. If it was solely based on the service, I probably would not rush back here. read more

Unbelievably slow service and wait times for the number of available tables both inside and outside. My wife and I waited with our kids for 35 minutes among a group of 10-12 others while we counted 10 open tables on the patio and 8 sitting empty inside. Shocking how poorly managed this restaurant is. read more

Passing through on our way back home. Our first time here but clearly they have the same customers who comes in because they were greetings individuals by name and also already knowing what they want. I saw staff hugging customers when they walked in like there family. Staff asking about family kids. I was so impressed. So much staff working, im use to places being understaffed and overwhelm but the staff here are laid back and look their jobs. I just wish I lived closer to eat this delicious food all the time and get to be greeted by family friendly staff. read more

I came here for the morning brunch with a couple girlfriends. We heard a lot about the place so we wanted to give it a shot. We all started with a mimosa, and the server offered us other flavored mimosas which another girl and I decided to try. I got the raspberry and it was very good. Unfortunately she didn't mention that it costs $3 extra for flavored mimosa, which wasn't mentioned to us upon ordering and her offering the other flavors. I ordered a simple plate of eggs bacon toast and potatoes. I usually don't eat potatoes so I asked if I could sub it for a pancake. She told me it would be no problem, and that's exactly what I got. Unfortunately, she didn't mention once again that the sub pancake would be extra. Not only that, it was only one pancake... if I'm getting charged, I would at least like to be given 2.. All in all, the food was good, and the waitress was very nice. read more

I came here with two of my clients for a breakfast meeting. the place is in the back of a strip mall well on the back of the lot behind the parking. It a good thin one of my dealers knew about it or i would never have found it. Very cool feel inside the patio looked great too. I looked at the Eggs Benedict, but before I ever order that item, I always ask for a sample of the Hollandaise to see if is real or a off shoot concoction. I ordered Eggs Benedict standard two poached eggs perfectly cooked with a little run to the yolk and Canadian bacon on a toasted English muffin. topped with one of the best creamy hollandaise sauce I have had (next to mine) ;) and it stood perfectly on top of the eggs. It came wit a side of special potatoes with onions and peppers was great too. Both of my compadres had Pulled Pork Benedict, each got two poached eggs served with BBQ pork on a toasted English muffin. topped with a cool spicy hollandaise sauce and served with a side of special potatoes with onions and peppers too. They both raved about but i am after all a purist and stuck with the traditional 'Daise I would defiantly come back here, maybe to try out lunch I noticed they had several trays of food for a catered event that looked great! the waitress was great very nice and attentive. read more

*****ADDED June 15: Far too much vitriol over a B Graded restaurant that serves overpriced, poorly prepared food. If you have something to say to me, do it by email, not in a bogus review. A respect the thoughts of others, please do the same for me. *****ADDED June 2: And now I see a green "B" on the door? Marston's, your transformation to the dark side is complete. So I went back again because, as i had mentioned in my previous post...I really liked this place and will go to McDonalds if Chef McClean is flipping the burgers. First think I notice is a different chef in the back. Not a huge deal, everyone gets a day off, right? We sit down to our highly anticipated breakfast of Eggs Benedict and Fabulous French Toast and - BAM - it hits me: the french toast is greasy and underdone in the middle...the eggs in the Benedict are overdone...the hollendaise is grainy. I tell the waitress, who tells the manager, who ignores the problem... Then I ask the waitress where Chef McClean is and I am told "he is no longer with the company." WHAT? As many of you have read my previous reviews, you know I am a stickler for customer service...and this customer felt served...like a tennis ball off the racquet of Pete Sampras...at 140 MPH... So I come to Yelp and notice all of these really bad reviews that have been showing up in the last week. And I see the pattern. It appears that all of the great things that Marston's promised: great food, acclaimed chef, fresh ingredients, friendly people...all gone in less than a month. Marston's, you lost at least one customer in me...and I can tell from the reaction to your latest decisions that you have lost others, as well. Lying to your customers may work for you in Pasadena, but the Santa Clarita crowd expects more. And you can expect your weekend crowds to dwindle as the unimpressed go back to Eggs and Things and Egg Plantation...hell, we'll head back to IHOP. Bad move, Marston's...bad move. ****ADDED June 2: And now I see a green "B" on the door? Marston's, your transformation to the dark side is complete. read more

Came here on Easter Sunday and was lucky that Marston's was still open since it seemed like all the other restaurants were closed! Service was excellent and swift and the ingredients here all seemed really fresh! Plus, they have inside and patio seatings. Ordered Tomato Basil omelette - added chicken for $1.50, replaced toast for French Toast $1.50. I would not order the additional chicken for future orders. The restaurant gave a generous amount of chicken, too generous! I was a little overwhelmed with all the chicken and it took away the flavors of the dish. My replacement French Toast was amazing and I would definitely recommend upgrading it for $1.50 or ordering a full order and share with with your friends. Their French toast is crusty with the additional cornflakes covered all over, yum! I'm glad I came in and got a little taste of this place! Even with my chicken filled omelet, I still like this restaurant. The quality of the food seemed homely and inviting. I can't wait to to come back to try their Happy Hour Menu. My friends have been raving about it and recommend their baked calamari. Till next time! Happy Hour: Sunday-Tuesday 3-7pm read more

Good steak eggs and blueberry plank cakes! Great service and a nice ambiance. Reminds you of a small town diner.

Food was good, but service was horrible. Waitress by the name of Karley H and I believe her sister provided horrible customer service, people like them make you not want to come to this restaurant. You are made to feel extremely unwelcome. read more

I had a great breakfast served by an incredible waitress named Cicila. We were warmly greeted and quickly seated to our booth. For this morning's breakfast I had hot tea that came with the variety of options. My main meal was the Californian omlette. The California came with chicken sausage with spinach onions and tomatoes in the omelette. I had wheat toast and country potatoes to round it out. Don't let this place fool you. From the outside it looks very quaint but when we went in it was already busy with people. The service was great they acknowledge the fact that I was there with a US airman and greeted him with warm regards. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Taste of food great as always....though the Santa Clarita branch appears to be more spacious, I prefer the home feel of the Pasadena branch.

We were so excited to try Marston's because their menu and photos looked a little more sophisticated than the normal breakfast and brunch foods. Waiting for a table on a Sunday morning wasn't terrible (thankfully). French Toast - 2/5 They were crusted, maybe with bread crumbs? They looked amazing on the plate, but taste and texture wise, it was too crunchy and bland. Even drowning the toast in maple syrup didn't help. Their butter was salted, which also didn't help or compliment the dish. Californian Omelette - 2.5/5 The veggies, cheese and ingredients were fresh.... The taste however was the same story, bland. We added salt, pepper, and even hot sauce. Overall the service was friendly and pretty attentive. If you are the type if person that likes food on the bland side, this might be the place for you. If I'm ever back in the Santa Clarita area, I'll probably try a new place instead. Yelp 100 challenge - 47 of 100 read more

My review has five parts: location,  parking,  appearance, general and bottom line. LOCATION: Easy to find at the northeast corner of Newhall Ranch Road and McBean Parkway. PARKING: They have parking close to the entrance. APPEARANCE: The place is clean and has nice wood tables and chairs, as well as booths. Nice ambiance with dim lighting, interesting framed pictures and old-fashioned chalkboard menus. GENERAL: The cheese popovers (bread) is delicious. Black pepper and cheese. Yum. I ordered the Tri-tip sandwich with fries. The meat was well-done as I asked but a little greasy. The sauce on it was good and they included cheese and tomato slices. The French fries were crisp and the ranch dressing was fresh. The waiter regularly stopping by to check on us. The restroom was clean and they have outdoor seating. BOTTOMLINE: I would try this place again. Next time I'll what they have that's not greasy. read more

Marston's - Eggs Benedict! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Valencia, California

I was going to my sister's house and decided to get food to go here. The servers are quite rude. I stood there and nobody came to ask me if they could help me. Multiple servers walked past me and though they were somewhat busy (but not chaotic busy), nobody offered to help me even when their hands were free. Finally I had hunt down a server and tell her that I was ready to order. I ordered for myself and my sister and my mom asked for the ravioli. The server looked at my mom confused as if she didn't know they had ravioli and my mom told her it was on their menu list and the server told us that was only for dinner. Well, if somebody would have handed us a menu instead of us grabbing them ourselves we would have known the difference. My mom opted for a salad as well. The server then asked us if it was separate orders and I made it clear it was ALL TOGETHER. So what does she do? Put my order and my mom's order separately. Seriously lady? Then she has the nerve to say that she can't cancel the order and put it all under one check and for us to just pay separately... such bull! I'll give it to them though their salads are very fresh and delicious. They gave us what they call cheese poppers with our salads, they were so good! They're not cheesy at all but so savory. My sister and I were trying to figure out what to categorize them as and we decided they're like croissant muffins. Great food, but seriously need to work on customer service and get some educated servers. read more

Came here for brunch on Sunday. I was surprised on how small the menu was for breakfast, but i guess you don't need a 100 different options when your only going to order one item. Pulled pork Benedict - i guess if they only had this item on the menu this menu would be just fine. The meat is juicy and the hollandaise sauce works well with the meat. The fantastic french toast - was just ok, it didn't have a lot of flavor, the corn flakes just gave it a crunch, but didn't add to the test. Overall it wasn't bad, but will try other breakfast spots before i come back to here read more

First time at Marston's and I am excited to go back for our next visit! Awesome service, staff is really nice and very attentive. You are quickly seated and the food comes out shortly after you've placed your order. The food is AMAAAAAAZING! I tried the Pulled Pork Benedict with grilled veggies and potatoes on the side ($11.95) with coffee (their coffee is nice and strong, really good.), my hubby got the Tuna Sandwich with fries on the side (Huge tuna sandwich, tasted really good if you like dill, and good portion of french fries) and my daughter had the Chicken Strips Kid Plate with Fresh Fruit ($5.95) (3 big pieces of chicken strips w/ ranch dressing and a mix of strawberries, raspberries and pineapple fresh fruit mix on the side). All in all, it's gonna be a place that I can see our family go to every weekend. :) I can't wait for this weekend, I already have what to order next in mind! If the weather is good, they have a great outside seating too! Happy Eating! read more

Came here for brunch on a Friday morning with the family. Quaint décor, and beautiful outdoor seating. Marston's is delicious breakfast food done right. They try to keep their use of ingredients simple and modest. I appreciated their pulled pork benedict : tender meat, with a subtle sweetness that was made richer with their hollandaise sauce. It could feel overwhelmingly rich, and could benefit from something contrasting (like spice). Their potatoes are also dang good too! I also appreciated the Macadamia Pancakes and their effort in allowing the nuts to contrast the soft fluffy pancake. Simple. Good. Then there was their infamous French Toast. I love crunchy and well-seasoned French Toast, and this was it. The use of good sourdough as the base is also well received. I feel as if many places are afraid to use sourdough because of its tartness, but Marston's does the SourD French Toast Justice! On any given day, Marston's executes traditional breakfast just right. Does not stray too far off the beaten path, but takes you a great journey regardless. read more

So it's Fathers Day today and I was looking forward to breakfast with my children. I called ahead to make a reservation and get an answering machine with a June 10th recording saying that are not taking reservations. Get to the restaurant when the host tells me they only take reservations. I mean "what"!! Such BS. Please Marston's change your damn message and not confuse people. Btw went to Thelmas Morning Cafe ! Awesome food and service. read more

Wow. And again wow!! I came for breakfast and it had to be just about one of the very best I've had. I ordered the pulled pork Benedict. Which is yes, you called it delicious pulled pork on English muffin topped with an egg and a spicy hollandaise sauce. It was absolutely amazing. I could go on about JUST the sauce but the truth was that the combination of flavors worked so well together. The portions are HUGE and I always have to have my sweet end so we split the dish along with the "works" French toast. It's their traditional French toast, which is NOT traditional at all. It's thick slices of sourdough dipped in batter and covered in cornflakes. Can you say hot diggity dog!!!! The works has fresh berries, whipped cream and candied pecans that make this already amazing dish out of this world. I love food that has texture and I've never had French toast like this. The bread was cooked perfectly, not soft, and with the cornflake layer added an appetizing crunch. I didn't even use the syrup provided. If you ever find yourself on Valencia, heck it's not that far from the San Fernando valley.. Let me start over. If you are in Southern California you want to try this place, you'll be making more trips to awesome town, believe me!!! read more

So I haven't been here in years, but I was very pleased with our service and satisfied with the food. We were instantly greeted and seated. When I asked for a different seat other then a booth I was accommodated and moved with no problem. We sat in the bar area and from begging to end our service was excellent. We were never left alone to long and our server and the manager were very nice and checked on us regularly. The menu has many options and the happy hour menu is plentiful. The desert menu had plenty to choose from as well. All things here are very reasonably priced! My only issue was the food. IT WASN'T BAD, but it did not live up to the descriptions in the menu. Let me say that our food was cooked well and tasted ok. First of all the bread they gave us was over seasoned with who knows what and was spongey, our Brussels sprouts were not seasoned, soft and served with some weird mayo. My ribeye was cooked perfectly but with no seasoning so it was just ok, my wife enjoyed her meal. I had a pre-made cream brûlée that was slightly over charred on top and the brownie that my wife had tasted like it was store bought. I will say that our cocktails were fabulous and that our server even made a drink from our directions and that was great as well. So fine bistro type dining it's not. Not yet, but they will give you the best food they are capable of at good prices and the service will leave you happy. I will definitely come here again with the correct expectations. read more

The food is great and the service excellent but there is one caveat. Nearly every time my husband and I have gone there in the past few months we have had to wait at least 45 minutes for a seat on the patio (the inside of the restaurant is incredibly noisy and my husband and I can't hear each other). The restaurant takes reservations for large parties (not for smaller parties) and the large parties take up almost all the patio. The last time we went there the hostess took our name and told us it would be 25 minutes for a seat on the patio. My husband went to check on our name after 30 minutes and the hostess told him that it was going to be impossible to get a seat on the patio because there was a large party that had made a reservation. Why she didn't tell us that at first is beyond me. We are not likely to go back there because we can't get seated! read more

I have always had a great experience at Marston's. Maybe it's due to that I order the same thing. The Peppered Ahi Tuna appetizer is delicious.

Great place for breakfast! The waitress was very attentive and that's always a plus in my book! The place was crowded for a rainy Saturday morning. But there was plenty of seating. Husband had the pulled pork Benedict with a side of potatoes. The food was very well presented. He loved it. Would definitely recommend on getting it every time. I had the breakfast special. It was eggs with sun dried tomatoes, ham, and pickled artichokes. Mmmmm... Loved every single bite! They offer lunch and dinner. I would definitely come back and try out their lunch and dinner specials very soon. Ooh and they offer free meals for kids. SCORE! (Wednesday nights only with an adult meal) yup.

Marston's - California omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Valencia, California

Had brunch today with a few friends. Two of us had eggs Benedict and it was pretty good, not amazing or even very good, but good. My other friend had an omelet that she said was good, but about halfway through it, she pulled out a long black hair. Soooo lunch was officially over at that moment, and neither of us wanted to finish our food at that point either. Our service was mediocre and they did comp the one meal with hair. Even without the hair, I would not have gone out of my way to ever eat here again. Now of course, I never will again. Also, just over $15 for eggs Benedict? Seriously? For some mediocre restaurant in Santa freaking Clarita? Ha! Get over yourself. read more

Good food, great service as well as good ambiance made my first visit memorable. Definitely I will return when I'm in that area .

I visited Marston's today for the first time and it wasn't too bad. The wait wasn't too long for brunch. We arrived just after 11 am and I think it only took about 15 minutes to be seated. We had a table on the front patio. There's plenty of shade provided by umbrellas but the chairs aren't very comfortable. They have a decent selection of food on their menu. There's enough for variety but Not too much to where you would be indecisive. I ordered "The Californian" omelet and a slice of French toast. The omelette was the perfect size and tasted great. It was full of flavor and not overcooked. It came with a half of an avocado and not just a couple slices like places like Denny's or IHOP would give. The potatoes on the side were cooked with bell peppers and onions. They weren't that great because they were really lacking in flavor. About 3 of them had extra seasoning and spice while the remaining were bland and boring. The French toast, which I was most excited about, was a little bit of a let down. It's crusted in cornflakes and dusted in powdered sugar. I was looking forward to it being crunchy on the outside (which it was) and fluffy on the inside (which it wasn't). It was kind of tough on the inside and lacking flavor...even after the syrup. The presentation is nice and the food is just alright. read more
