This is exactly what upcountry needed!! I remember driving by this establishment multiple times when it was empty, then when it became Graze, then when it became empty again. It looks like Ramblehorn is here to stay and I'm here for it! The prices are affordable, the portions are huge, and the staff are friendly. Parking is tight, but not terrible. Amador Brewing is next door as well. As soon as you step in, it smells like a classic diner, the kind of smell that takes you back. We went for a late brunch on a Sunday and it was packed, but we were able to be seated pretty quickly. Our server was attentive and jovial. Whenever I try out a new breakfast/brunch spot (which isn't that often since I don't normally eat breakfast/brunch), I have to order the eggs benedict. Perfecting a hollandaise sauce and poached eggs isn't exactly the easiest, so it's pretty tell-tale for a restaurant if they can get their eggs benedict right. For my side I went with the hash browns. My husband wanted something a little lighter, so he went with the breakfast sandwich and a side of hash browns. Apparently you can order the egg however you want, so he decided to ask for it scrambled. He chose bacon for the meat. It took a while for our food to arrive. As soon as we placed our order, it seemed that everyone was coming for the lunch rush. There were a few tables that had also just ordered as well. Our server was very apologetic for the wait, but we said we didn't mind. I could tell they were still working through the kinks and training new staff, but the system they had going was already good. Once our food arrived, we were so excited to dig in. The poached eggs passed the test, and so did the hollandaise sauce. I hate when breakfast food is overly oily or rich, but the food here was not that at all. The English muffins also held up well to the barrage of yolk pouring out of the eggs. The hash browns were delightfully crispy, and my favorite additions to hash browns are ketchup and hot sauce, both of which they have at the condiment section of each table. My husband enjoyed his breakfast sandwich as well. It wasn't heavy and was well-balanced. The bacon was crispy and the eggs were fluffy. You can tell that the staff at Ramblehorn make their food with love. Given the multitudes of patrons that have been stopping by, I'm pretty sure Ramblehorn will stay for the long haul. I'm definitely coming back to try some other dishes soon! read more

Happy to get a new version of this restaurant in Pine Grove. Especially when the food is good, the service is great (it doesn't hurt when our server was my buddy's neighbor), and it's close to home. My buddy and I went on Sunday, and I had the meat lovers omelette with country potatoes. Very happy with the serving size and flavor. Being new, the place was packed - I think with a mix of locals and people headed over Highway 88 for skiing or other winter stuff. The waitresses were very busy, but kept everyone's coffee and water glasses topped off. My buddy had the country fried steak with hash browns and said that he really enjoyed it. His serving was big enough that he wasn't able to finish it all. Both of our orders were correct and correctly cooked as well. We might have to wait a little for the newness to calm down a bit, but we'll definitely be back. This place has been through a few owners since the Sierra House days, with the past versions not up to par with what this place has delivered in just our first visit. Hopefully things don't change, because the upcountry crowd needs a good breakfast place that is close to home. The layout of the restaurant is better than the previous version, so even small things like that make a big difference. Happy to get a hearty plate of food here instead of what I call "foo-foo" servings where the appearance is focused on over taste and size. Go to the city if that's what you're after. Honestly, the serving size hasn't been this generous since the early 90's Sierra House days. Well done to the new owner, keep up the good work! Sorry, no pics this time around, but I'll try to remember to take some next visit. read more

Food great friendly reasonably priced My wife granddaughters and great grandson have been in many times. Food always very good read more

If the best place on earth to eat mid week, has a 5 star rating, stands to reason the Ramblehorn Cafe was a Mothers Day no-brainer place to honor MOM! A two hour wait, and it was well worth it! Coffee was a little weak, every other aspect of breakfast was superb!! Don't waste your time trying other places to eat. If this place doesn't float your boat, you're a victim of serious issues. read more

My gosh finally a good diner in Pine Grove! I hope one day they'll do dinner but you will not be disappointed with what they got. And such friendly staff! The owner comes out and makes sure everyone is satisfied. read more

Biscuits and gravy were so yummy! Eggs Benedict was good but my eggs were not cooked all the way, had to avoid runny whites. Super friendly staff so we'll go back. read more

If you are in Pinegrove check this place out! The service is the best I've ever seen. And we eat out a lot! The Ruben sandwich was huge! Tender, juicy meat served on rye bread nice and fresh! I love their different coffee mugs! And the coffee was good too. My husband had the fried eggs with hash browns and toast. It was cooked perfect. Parking can get busy, but it's right on the street out front. They share the area with the Ale house next door and the ice cream parlor too. But if you go for breakfast it's not too crowded. The staff is very attentive and friendly! read more

The Roadhouse Rueben was great. Lots of meat, very little fat. Garlic parmeasan fries just ok. Not a fan of crinkle cuts. Parmeasan and garlic mostly on the plate. Staff very friendly. read more

Really glad to see this location open again, we do need it upcountry. Good service though the breakfast I ordered did take quite a while to arrive, and wasn't quite hot enough. The eggs benedict were OK except the hollandaise sauce was very lacking in lemon. The hash browns ok too but seemed to have been sitting around quite a while. Planning to go back for lunch to give that a try too read more

After visiting a couple times, I can now give some honest feedback. We've been here when it's super packed as well as very early when few people were there. We had eggs Benedict (substituted ham with tomatoes and avocado), veggie omelet, short stack (best ones I've had, ever), avocado toast, and coffee. The potatoes were crispy and well seasoned. Everything was very delicious. Heather was amazing and very warm, gracious, and accommodating. We will be returning. My compliments to the chef! read more

We were lucky to stumble across Ramblehorn on our way back from the Sierra's. It turned out to be a bright spot in an otherwise arduous drive through snow covered roads. We were a big group with both adults and kids, the experience at Ramblehorn for everyone was excellent. Food: Everything we ordered - from the kids menu, the breakfast options and the sandwich options, was excellent. The patty melt and the country potatoes were especially excellent. Service: everyone was warm, welcoming and very attentive. Ambiance: I believe the place is new, it was very clean and well kept. Even the restrooms were spotless. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely stop by again if we are in the vicinity. read more

Ramblehorn has a welcoming vibe and the staff were genuinely friendly, which made the visit pleasant from the start. The menu is fairly limited, so there aren't a lot of options to choose from, but what they do offer is decent for the prices. read more

It was ok. Crowded and seemingly not enough staff to handle the Sunday morning rainy day crowd. Stood at the door forever before we were even acknowledged. Food was decent not great. read more

Service was awesome. The French dip was the best I've ever had, garlic mayo was amazing. The salad my wife had was awesome. The place is super cool, old school coffee shop kind of vibe. read more

You absolutely HAVE to try the biscuits and gravy, Chef Alex makes them from scratch in house! Phenomenal!!!

So happy to have another solid restaurant in town. Excellent food and staff, great prices!

Great breakfast menu. Reasonably priced, great atmosphere and freindly staff. I called a made a reservation and our table was saved eventhough the whole party didnt show up until 20 minutes after the reserved time. Cant wait to go again next weekend. read more

We went there today (Saturday) and the place was jammed. The area is clearly ready for a new place to eat. This is a soft opening and they're working out the kinks as the owner readily admitted. It did take a while to get our food, but the food was delicious and the wait staff was attentive and helpful. I can especially recommend the pancakes as well as the tasty, tender ham. We live in town and will definitely be back. read more
