    Chicken noodle soup
    Bambi F.

    The spot's inside a complex with plenty of parking, so no stress there. Once you walk in, you instantly get that cozy American diner vibe. But honestly, what really pulled me in was the cake chiller display--it was calling my name! Service was fast too!

    Hot corned beef sandwich
    Nancy S.

    I love the retro graphic designs on their walls and booths. Plenty of seating, a huge menu, and great service! The Hubbs had the sourdough cheeseburger which is over half a pound. He asked for it cooked medium rare and it was perfect. We both opted for tater tots which were great. I had the hot corned beef sandwich. It was served with corned beef chunks rather than slices and with lots of cheese. Almost too much cheese. These are words that I never thought would come out of my mouth (or keypad). They had thin-sliced pickle on it which countered that rich cheese. Overall, a good experience.

    Very nice place. Clean, organized, and good home town food choices. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Casual dining and everything from omelets, burgers, lasagna, and much more. Abbie was our server extraordinare and was so kind and efficient. We also met Joe, the owner, who was quite friendly, informative, and humble. We had lunch on one day and breakfast the next day. Fortuna is a quaint little town, and the people are so friendly and down to earth. Highly recommended

    Chilli burger, Fruit, and  spinach omelette with hash browns

    The restaurant had a very vintage feel to it. The food was pretty good. The type of food you'd expect from diner. The waitresses were pleasant and accommodating.

    Fall off the bone Ribs

    We stopped by for a dinner on a Tuesday evening. It was either fast food or peppers . For a coffee shop it was better than most with an extensive menu. I chose the smoked ribs, my wife got the chickens fried steak. Both were excellent. The wait staff was also friendly and attentive.

    Cute little flower decoration at each table.

Our service was 5 star which helped since we were exhausted. I have a super strong recommendation for the Cali 101 sandwich. It might be one of the sandwiches I've ever had. The fried parmesan on the tops of the bread sealed the deal. My wife asked for a custom burger. Mind you, the kitchen was closing but chef pulled off a beautiful dish. I don't normally photo food but wish I did. My wife goes bun-less and they served the dish on a bed of spinach (which she requested and they had to dig for it). To do all that as the kitchen is closing says something. They could have just thrown it on top. I am completely stealing that one. I love amber ale and they make a good one. I hope we can squeeze one last visit in before we leave.

What really stood out was how well Amy understood the drinks menu -- she listened to the kinds of flavors we were looking for, answered all of our questions, and recommended drinks that matched exactly what we wanted. She also had a great sense of humor that made us feel completely at home. On top of that, the atmosphere was incredible -- even the people around us were interactive and engaged in conversation despite us not knowing each other. The whole night was filled with great energy, shared laughs, and an overall memorable experience.

The BBQ sauce on it was ok-not great sauce. Generous meat portion. Although I would have preferred a different bbq sauce, the sandwich was really great. $22.

However, while the quantity and value are there, the actual quality of the food could be improved a bit. Overall, it was a really good experience! If they can just elevate the food quality a notch, this place would be a 5/5. Still highly recommend stopping by for the great hospitality and atmosphere!

" Potatoes, onions, bell peppers, garlic, mild green chiles and eggs, "all messed up". It came Topped with jack cheese, salsa and sour cream. I had them leave off the bell peppers, and I paid a little bit more for them to add mushrooms and spinach. The "mess" came, and it was huge!! It was also delicious!

The cheese was delicious, and it was just the right amount The chilies had a good flavor, and yes, they were mild The potatoes were good, and just the right texture as well. I liked the sour cream, and the salsa was not spicy at all. It had a bit of a smoky flavor. The thing was so huge, I had some to take home. The toast was a good quality sourdough, the coffee was great, and they kept my cup full. The price was reasonable. Thanks for a great breakfast. I will be back.
