    Supreme omelette

    Ok we found this place by accident and I don't think I'm ever gonna eat at another breakfast place the portions are HUGE ! The hashbrowns are the best I've ever had in life I was shook I ate half of them before even starting my omelette... Then I tasted the omelette and almost died it is so fresh so flavorful and so good.bthey allowed me to add mushrooms which was amazing and fresh just as the other ingredients. The biscuits were some of the softest fluffiest biscuits I ever had the gravy is creamy and rich but not to heavy. I spent a lot of time eating this meal cuz I wanted to savor every bite. The staff were friendly and warm I'm very happy with this visit will be back this is officially my breakfast place

    The menu for the address.

    This place is small but one of the best. Great prices, service and food. Just don't go on Tuesdays because they are closed. I wish they were in Ceres.

    Chilaquiles with Hash browns, eggs, 4 slices of sourdough bread
    Michaela G.

    One ofthe best places I have ever been for breakfast! Was pleasantly surprised to have found a new favorite breakfast place! The Chilaquiles were absolutely amazing! Everything was cooked to perfection! The right half of plate was hash browns and two eggs on top! An abundance of food for half the price! Got the red sauce and it was actually spicy!!

    Delicious food, coffee, and great service!  I look forward to this every Sunday!!

    I look forward to this every Sunday! Great food, coffee, and service! You won't be disappointed.

    Hamburger with side of steamed veggies

    Amazing Service! Very welcoming vibes. Got the hamburger and substituted the fries for steamed veggies, lots of different options.

However, on a late afternoon weekend, we found plenty of parking and ample seating. Staff was amazing and incredibly attentive. The pasta was okay, and I really regret not sticking with breakfast. Service: 5/5 Food: 3.5/5

    Came in on a Sunday at 11:30am and there was only a 15-minute wait for a booth for three people…read more The staff was nice and quick. The food was just your typical diner type, greasy spoon kind of place. I got an egg white omelette with ham (looked like cut up pieces of thin sliced deli meat) and asked that fresh potatoes be boiled in water or steamed in water due to food allergy. What I got was fried potatoes. When I questioned the server he just said that's how they come. Do they not have raw potatoes in the back they could have boiled for me?? The taste of the omelette was meh and I only ate 4 bites. I obviously didn't eat the potatoes. The English Muffin felt oily, like someone touched it with greasy hands. I had asked for it to be dry and with no butter. So basically I didn't eat any of my food and will not be back (this was my third time here and none of the other experiences were any better.) Such a shame because it is only 5-minutes from my house. My dad ordered the chicken fried steak and my mom got the taco salad and both of their meals were inedible too. The food here is just BAD. I told the server I didn't like my food and he didn't even answer me. He took away three plates of uneaten food and no one asked if there was an issue and no manager bothered to come over to even talk to us or try and make it right. What a HUGE waste of money. Don't bother eating here...so many other places to eat that are so much better. This place was packed and no real waiting area...everyone just squished together. This is a hustling and bustling place, so if you are looking for a quiet spot, at least don't go when we did. Best part of this place is their wall for taking pictures. I think they care more about making things look IG worthy, than the quality of the product they are serving.

We had the country fried steak which was probably the best one I have ever had in my entire life! My sons had chorizo and eggs and the other one had chocolate pancakes, ham and eggs. We also got a Nutella Crepe because my youngest had never had a real crepe before. The food was all amazing. We cleaned every plate between a 47 year old, 13 & 8 year old! We couldn't stop eating!! The place was clean and for such a busy brunch we were sat very quickly! Service was amazing as well! The staff was so accommodating, friendly and professional! They were so hard working turning those tables over and checking on tables all the time. We didn't have to wait for plates to be cleared or refills of Iced Tea!! Like I said I can't believe I haven't been back to this place in such a long time but that is going to change!! I will be back as much as I can! Especially to support a local family owned restaurant!

    Tasty or WasteY???? Totally tasty !!!!…read moreI love everything about this place. I always get the Chilaquiles with green sauce. My husband gets different things on the menu when we go and he enjoys all of them. The only problem I have is it is so loud in there because it is such a small and confined restaurant. And I enjoy the live music being played. It's just such a tight confined little place. And you have to yell to talk to one another therefore everybody else here's your conversation. This is not a good place to go on a date or to get to know somebody over conversation. That's why you have Galletto's or Tresetti's down the street. But if you wanna go and have a quick breakfast, then this is the place. Though wait waitresses are always very, very nice. And the prices are great.

After discovering Lucille several years ago, I will now willingly take rides far from home, although the fares sometimes dry up in the Central Valley. I have been to Lucille twice by myself. I brought my Godmother once. I recommend Lucille to everyone who I drive when they tell me that they live in or near Modesto. Today I brought my boyfriend and my dog, who lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It was Saturday, super crowded and my dog was being super reactive with another dog across the way. It was super embarrassing and, although I am sure that it stressed out the staff, they were calm, kind and attentive. I was stressed and shrill, my dog was being a grade-A A-hole. I'm sorry Lucille! The beet salad at this place features fresh mint and I always get it. The chocolate cookie with flaky malden salt is very yummy. Their house coffee is very high quality and doesn't taste gross and burned. I didn't love my soup today. The bar was set pretty high with the carrot soup I had another time. Honestly, it was a small detail and this place is so much better than 90% of restaurants. They sent me another chocolate cookie. That was never necessary. I love you Lucille! Thanks for the extra care and the extra cookie! You really deserve a larger building because you are awesome!

They have yummy pastries on display but the breakfast menu has tons of savory options. We ordered H Street Block which is a blueberry french toast casserole. It was the perfect size. It looks small, but it was very filling and just enough to get my day started. It's a bit pricey for the size but since that was the portion I wanted, I wasn't too disappointed. One of the workers mentioned they do have kids menu options, but they didn't have the printed kids menus available, so if you don't see them, just ask when you are ordering. The Champions Breakfast platter was a great choice for our kids to share. It was one of the better fruit bowls I've seen, with a variety of fresh berries and oranges. The place is pretty small inside, but we were there on a Thursday morning so it was no issue finding a parking spot or a table to sit. I appreciate how kid friendly they are, even bringing kid size water cups with lids, and there are even some children's books on the shelf in the back. Such a cute little spot, I would have never known about it if I wasn't looking on Yelp for breakfast places in this area.

    A Hidden Gem with Nightclub Vibes and Brunch Soul…read more Came in for breakfast and left with a new favorite local spot. The atmosphere is electric but chill--modern ring lighting, glowing LED pillars, a full wall of TVs, and just enough disco ball energy to make you wonder what this place transforms into after dark. (Spoiler: we'll be back to find out.) We started the day with mimosas--light, bright, and generously poured. They set the tone. My partner ordered the Huevos Rancheros, and wow--rich, flavorful, and with just the right kick. The ranchero sauce was warm and bold, layered over perfectly cooked eggs and soft tortillas. Beans and salsa rounded it out with heart and spice. I went classic: two eggs over easy, bacon, and hashbrowns. Everything hit the mark. The eggs were runny and golden, the bacon had that ideal crisp-with-chew balance, and the hashbrowns had a crispy outer layer that gave way to soft, savory insides. Simple, but done right. Service was kind and easygoing--the perfect pace for a morning meal. Plenty of space inside, and the layout somehow makes it feel both open and cozy at the same time. This place feels like a best-kept secret: part brunch lounge, part evening hotspot. We'll absolutely be back. Might just become our go-to.

    I wanted to share some feedback about our recent experience at My Mimosas. Unfortunately, after…read morewaiting over an hour for our food, we made the decision to leave without ever being served. We were not the only ones. Several other tables got up and left before we did, including families with young children who had been waiting for breakfast for an unreasonable amount of time. What made the situation especially disappointing was that the bartenders and staff were doing an excellent job under very difficult circumstances. They remained professional, attentive, and courteous despite clearly being overwhelmed by a situation beyond their control.Their drinks were great. We were informed that there were only two cooks working. While staffing shortages can happen, it was disheartening to learn that management was aware of the issue and yet there did not appear to be any effort from leadership to step in and help resolve the backlog. Seeing bartenders and servers bear the brunt of frustrated customers while families sat waiting indefinitely for food reflected poorly on the overall operation. This message is not intended to criticize the staff who were present. They were phenomenal. Rather, it is to express concern about the lack of support provided to them and the impact it had on your customers' experience. We chose your establishment because of its reputation and atmosphere, and we hope this feedback helps prevent similar situations in the future. Best of luck to the servers who ensure this short staffing and bear the insults of people who got up and left.
