They give the kids train-themed activity books, there are train-themed books to look at, and there is even a toy train track that's mounted to the ceiling that offers built-in entertainment when they turn on the train.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming with the service to match. They serve classic American fare for breakfast and lunch. The portions can be large so be prepared to loosen that belt or take leftovers home. Our recent outing I tried their hamburger steak breakfast. A decent sized patty that I requested be topped with both grilled onions and mushrooms was good. Although the patty itself needed a bit more seasoning, it didn't disappoint. The country potatoes were fluffy on the inside with good texture on the outside, accompanied by onions and bell peppers. Eggs were cooked perfectly to order. If the servers offer salsa, TAKE IT! Very flavorful, fresh and vibrant. Compliments everything I've tried so far. And no, it's not spicy. This place is a gem and my kids love the train decor. If your kids are good, they might turn on the model trains. You won't be disappointed.

We were visiting from out of state to this area of California. We had spent the day at an outdoor…read moreconvention, and were looking forward to this particular restaurant. With the reviews on Yelp and the recommendation of our Air bnb host, this was a "must" during our visit. Nice decor and ambiance upon entering. Had a musician playing clarinet, which was beautiful. Unfortunately, we did not even eat here. As I stated, we had been at an outdoor convention- we were in nice jeans and ballcaps. This restaurant was not "suit" fancy, but we may have appeared underdressed with our ballcaps. Honestly we don't make a habit of dressing down and are usually overdressed lol. We felt judged the moment we walked in. They asked if we had a reservation. We did not but we were still sat. There was a wine tasting going on and we were asked if we would like to participate. We politely declined. The vineyard owner came over and talked to us. I politely declined again. The waitress never returned for over 10min. We hadn't even been asked about any other drinks, appetizers, specials of the house, nothing. The menu had some amazing dishes and appetizers that I am sad I wasn't able to try, but if you're going to make me feel less because I didn't have an opportunity to brush out my ponytail and change my shoes, then you're not deserving of the money we were planning on spending in your establishment. These Texas ranchers were very unimpressed

Jireh Bakery is one of those places you wander into on a weekend and immediately feel a little…read morecurious. The moment I walked in, I was met with a mix of textures, a brick wall on one side, a row of mirror‑panels dressed like windows on the other, and a clean white wall in the back. It's an interesting blend, almost theatrical, like the space is trying to tell a story before you even get to the food. And the food is where things get fun. The display case is packed with pastries, croissants, cannoli, muffins, all the sweet treats a bakery should have, each one looking like it was made to tempt you. I stood there longer than I expected, going back and forth on what to choose because everything looked good. I finally settled on the berry vanilla pastry, and it was worth the indecision. Flaky, powdered with sugar, creamy from the custard, and sweet from the berries, the kind of pastry that makes a mess and doesn't apologize for it. I didn't know the "proper" way to eat it, so I just picked it up and took a bite. Sometimes that's the best way to meet a pastry for the first time. As I sat there, I noticed the atmosphere shift around me, religious canvases on the walls, Bible verses printed on the tables, and gospel music playing softly in the background. It's a bakery rooted deeply in faith, and the environment reflects that. Not in an overwhelming way, but in a way that tells you exactly what kind of values built the place. Then I looked up at the menu wall coffee, teas, refreshers, sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. Plenty of options that would easily pull me back in on another day. I just need to make sure I don't get distracted by the pastry case again before I even get to the menu. Jireh Bakery is a sweet little spot with personality, good pastries, and an atmosphere that stands out. I came in for a treat, and I left already thinking about what I'll try next time.

On top of that, his own burrito was missing three ingredients that he specifically requested. When he politely tried to address the issues, the owner of this location was very disrespectful. Several customers who witnessed the interaction even commented that the owner should not have handled the situation that way. Instead of trying to resolve the problem or simply remaking the burritos, they refused to serve him, even though we had already paid $51 for two burritos and two drinks. Save your money and spend it somewhere that values its customers and is willing to make things right when there is a problem. By far one of the worse restaurants I have been too.
