I love going here even if it's always busy but I enjoy that everything tastes home cooked and fresh but I always get the waitress that is quite rude and has no personality and she never listens when we ask for a split check read more

Came here to meet with friends for brunch. Never been here before. Nice place, added kudos that Marvin was my dad's name. Ordered the Cotati Omelette with hashbrowns. Delicious combo of ingredients. For a Sunday morning it was quite busy, waitress wasnt always attentive which might of been because they were short handed. Nonetheless delicious and worth a visit if your in town for breakfast. read more

Marvin's is a little loud, therefore the loss of one star. However, the staff is always friendly and they have a wonderful Greek scramble that I always get. The long time clientele prove that Marvin's is a neighborhood treasure. read more

A go-to spot for me & my partner. Everything they have is tasty, it's all well priced and their service is QUICK but not rushed. The staff is friendly. I love their fresh orange juice and the cute salt and pepper shakers. read more

Marvin's has so many options that I never know what to order. I am always extremely happy with whatever I choose. They have been great during the pandemic. read more

Living in the Rohnert Park area for three years now, I can say Marvin's is my favorite place to get breakfast. I have never had a bad experience with the food or the service. I usually order an egg white omelette along with a white mocha (highly recommend for those who like their coffee sweet!). The homemade jams are also delicious. All around great place for breakfast and brunch! read more

We went here to attempt to have breakfast this morning. We were served water, and they let us sit there for 40 minutes before anyone asked us if our order had been taken. The waitress came back 10 minutes later to take our order. We wait. Our son starts having a melt down because he's hungry, 6, and not very good at waiting. We wait some more. After about 75 minutes of waiting and no one checking in on us, no refills our waters, or touched up my husbands coffee. We walked. When my husband told them why we are leaving, they said okay. Not sorry. Just, okay. No idea what the food tastes like, as we were never served. I do not recommend this place. read more

We love to eat here. It's a home town type place. For the longest time I always got a burger and loves it. Most the time I order breakfast items now and am always happy. The coffee is great too. read more

Love this place. Great food. Quick friendly service. Wonderful prices. Brunch at its finest

I have gone to Marvin's a few times now and always leave not so satisfied. Last time I told the cashier that my eggs were horrible and all he could say was 'I'm sorry to hear that'. Today we couldn't get a refill on coffee, I had to get sugar from another table and had to go to the counter to get a to go box. The girl kept walking past us but wouldn't help us. When we decided to pay and leave, we had to ask someone else for the check. We went to the cash register and again, nobody would help us! We left the cash and the check sitting next to the register and walked out. read more

We snagged the last empty table in the place when we here for breakfast. They were prompt in bringing the menus and drinks. I ordered a bacon and cheese omelet and my daughter ordered her standard huevos rancheros. While the portion sizes are generous, neither of us were impressed enough with the food itself that we would come back here again. Daughter practically had to saw her tortilla apart and the "cheddar" cheese in my omelet was no kind of cheddar cheese I've ever had before, it was tough (how can cheese be tough? Overcooked? Overly processed? I dunno) and a new shade of bright orange for the coloring crayon box. The hash brown potates weren't greasy - but they were only 3/4 of the way cooked. Service was efficient and that's probably the best I have to say about this place. 50/50 chance that I'd come back...but probably would explore other options first. read more

There isnt too many places for breakfast in the cotati/Petaluma area and this is one of the few that i like. The food and service were both great. Its a very homie country feel. read more

Friendly service, tasty food, and a comfortable atmosphere. A tad pricey, but still quite reasonable. We got the chorizo scramble and the breakfast sandwich - both delicious! read more

Great breakfast at a great price!! Strawberry waffle is a must get even if its shared at the table! My usual go to is the breakfast sandwitch, everything ive hadvis always good! read more

My pet peeve is slow, inattentive service. Cancels out decent food every time. Today's lack of service has changed my mind about Marvin's altogether. Waiter took order, delivered food and we never saw him again. We sat with finished plates that I stacked up on the edge of the table for 20 minutes. Waiter walked by us numerous times without a glance. I finally flagged a different server down to ask for the bill and a to go box. She told our waiter who finally brought our bill but no box. Asked again for a box and finally I had to get up from our table to ask again. The food is fine but not worth horrible service. read more

Been here twice now and I am satisfied, but not over excited. Marvin's is cute and quaint. Open from 7 to 3pm daily you got to catch it early, which you should since its a breakfast place. Cute little southern kitchen decor with limited seating. This place fills up on the weekends with all the Cotati locals (there isn't that much of us!) Its really the only breakfast place in town. Food is okay-good. Service is good. read more

We love to go here for breakfast all the time! Very family friendly, nice staff and good food... I usually get the eggs Benedict or the chicken fried steak read more

it was our first time here and we were absolutely thrilled with the homey, country ambiance of this place (also has a very charming outdoor dining area)! we had just finished with our smog check (Advance Smog Auto Care Center on Redwood Drive-also higly recommend if you need smog/repairs) and decided to treat ourselves to some brunch (esp since the smog passed). i ordered the eggs benedict with chorizo and my husband ordered the breakfast sandwich with a chocolate milk shake. thank you very much for the recommendation of the breakfast sandwich, it was one of our servers favorite (sorry we did not get your name; pretty and petite with glasses). anyways, everything was delicious and totally hit the spot! looking forward to trying other goodies on the menu next time around! thx for serving great food (generous portions which we very much appreciate) and hiring great, friendly staff! God bless you all! read more

Marvin's is the best! My husband and I go to Marvin's every weekend and my in-laws go every other week. We've included Marvin's in our weekend routine for almost two years now and every experience has been lovely. Liz and Erica are great servers and know us and our orders well. They watched my belly grow when I was pregnant and now they're watching our son as he grows--they feel like family to us. We joke that Marvin's is our son's third home (grandma and grandpa's is second). Service is always prompt (even when they're slammed) and the meal is always hearty and tasty. Prices are totally reasonable, especially with a coupon! They use as many fresh ingredients as they can and they even make their own jam, which is delicious! On Fridays, we're usually happy because 1) it's the weekend and 2) we know we'll be having Marvin's at some point. read more

Great breakfast! Fantastic service! If I lived in the area this would be my regular breakfast spot!

The food and coffee is very good, but for us the servers are what makes this one of our favorite breakfast joints. They always take our special requests patiently and the cooks in the back nail it every time. Try the Huevos Rancheros and the Marvin's Scramble, two of of our favorites. read more

I am not surer how i forget about this plisse so much but I do. I would love to go there more often but it never quite sticks in my memory. The few times i have gone it was a fun experience and the food was a decent. My easy over eggs were spot on, my toast was toasted, and my sausage was really good. The three star rating is mostly biased off the fact that i can never remember this place. read more

I don't see how anyone could not like the food here! I can see service being slow on weekends but that is bc it is so popular. Have gone here for years and the Ppls working here are very nice, and the food is fresh, hot, and very very good. Love the cozy atmosphere and homey feel. read more

This place is always packed and loud in the morning. If you get the basic eggs and bacon you will be fine. Not amazing but not horrible either. I would not recommend the eggs benedict. I tried it the last time we were there and it was awful. Why? Because they used packaged sauce. I didn't even think to ask if they used packaged sauce. Absolutely disgusting. Servers are always nice even when they are super busy. read more

This place is another gem. Great burger and steak fries, when was the last time you had that great combo. Wait forget about Red robin you get more fries here. The service was top notch, clean surroundings and fair prices. This place is on my list of places to return. I was prepared to not like this place. It's in the Bay Area so prices can be way out of line but boy was I fooled. Don't hesitate read more

Great homemade food. .. love the breakfast variety and specials. Also love that they offer American and Mexican variety. Definitely our favorite weekend breakfast place. Many loyal regulars. Don't mind the wait. Ron loves the homemade strawberry freezer jam... best breakfast place in Cotati by far...! read more

Our son told us about this restaurant. This place is always booming with customers. It is very popular and the food is delicious. Since we don't eat meat, we ordered a veggie omelet that has broccoli and other veggies. Instead of mushrooms, we asked if we could have an avocado instead. They were very accommodating. It was very delicious. We also like the deals with their $1.00 muffins. These muffins were from the day before, but they are so delicious and you can't beat this deal for the large muffins. Also, you should try one of their delicious biscuits. So good. read more

Marvin's Restaurant - This is the omelet that we had with avocado instead of mushrooms. We also had one of their delicious biscuits. Such a treat. - American Near Me - Cotati, California

We are from Irvine - land of chain restaurants. We visit Cotati often b/c of SSU. Marvin's is a wonderful change with their warm atmosphere, friendly servers, and great food. We especially love the scrambles. read more

This has become our favorite breakfast/brunch/lunch place! I always get French Toast, and mom always gets the Marina Sandwich (shrimp salad). We dearly miss the one in Petaluma & are super glad we discovered this one! Good prices & good people. read more

I've been here a few times and was excited to see it added to the restaurant.com website. The food has always been good for me and my friends, never a complaint. The only thing I can really complain about this time around was how long it took to get our food, we waited at least 15-20 minutes after ordering to get our food and we didn't order anything super complicated. I will say, the strawberry and raspberry jam they make is to die for, I could have eaten the jam all by itself w/ a spoon. Today I ordered the Cotati Scramble that I thought would be a scramble, but it was an omlette? It was great none the less, big pieces of chicken sausage, yummy spinach and artichoke hearts, not too much cheese, just the way I like it. I look forward to the next time I venture here w/ the friends. read more

Don't waste your time. You could make better breakfast at home even if you don't know how to cook. Everything is undercooked cause they are always behind. The service is horrible and they really don't like the college crowd that is in Cotati. I would recommend they get new servers and cook. read more

Great coffee. Fresh juice. Mostly homemade. Great service. We kinda lov it here. Great place with a friendly atmosphere. Pretty fast too!

I have been to Marvin's in Petaluma several time so I was expecting a certain level of service, ambiance and quality... This wasn't it. When I arrived there was plenty of tables open but they promptly set us by the other entrance, every time some one came in or out I was blasted with cold air (it was about 48° outside). In a time span of about 75 minutes, our water glasses were never refilled and our coffee was refilled once, and that was only because one of our group of 8 asked for it. Had to go find the waitress for jam and the check but, the food was ok. read more

Friendly,clean homey! Great omelets, burgers, salads. Good service, nice place for breakfast or lunch.

I just love this place... so comfortable. The staff is always kind and helpful.. great food. But please oh please do something about the coffee. It's really not good. read more

Nice waitress,Miss Dodi...super funky and cute...kid friendly and terrific food...

Love this place. I bring all of my out of town visitors here. Great service! Mexican eggs benedict is awesome.

You can always rely on this restaurant for a quality meal. Had a breakfast sandwich which was more than enough food, the chicken apple sausage scramble was hearty. My preference is a less sweet sausage, but still very good. Nice outdoor seating is always a plus. read more

Best breakfast place to eat in area and the quality is always spot on. Chorizo Breakfast Burrito and American cheese. Get the potatos on side = more food. Its always busy for a reason read more

One of our favorite breakfast places when we are up north visiting our daughter. They always have this delicious (homemade?) preserves on the table for your toast or biscuits, etc. Service has always been excellent, too. read more
