Excellent food! Truly a hidden gem. Homestyle country fare that is elevated to the next level! I crave the chicken fried steak with red potatoes and biscuits and gravy! Divine and delicious eating! Even better than mother's cooking but don't tell her ! Worth the price and worth the wait if it's busy, which it usually is because the morning workplace breakfast crowd knows where the good food is located ! Great small cafe atmosphere that delivers huge homemade flavor!!! read more

The place was busy which is always a good sign. We had to sit in their outdoor seating area on a colder day but with the heaters on it was warm enough. My wife raves about their biscuits and gravy, which is her favorite dish and hasn't been able to find a place that makes them like she likes til now. I tried their chilaquiles which came as advertised but not what I was expecting. It was more of an omelet topped with tortilla strips than the traditional Mexican dish. Everything was delicious nonetheless and we'll be back to try more of their food. read more

Red Apple Cafe - 'Medium well' steak with 'over medium' eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fresno, California

I visited this restaurant during my recent trip to Fresno, and it completely exceeded my expectations. I went in really needing good coffee and breakfast, and I was honestly shocked by how amazing everything turned out to be. The coffee was incredibly good, far better than I expected, and the place itself felt warm and cozy from the moment I walked in. For breakfast, I got the French toast and asked my server to make it look pretty, and she absolutely delivered. It looked beautiful and tasted just as amazing. I also tried the Spanish omelette with tomatoes, bell peppers, salsa and sour cream, and it was delicious. I ordered it with a side of fruit, and everything was so fresh! I then tried the chicken bacon ranch sandwich on sourdough with a side of potatoes and oh my god....the potatoes were unbelievable. I have no idea what they put in them, but I could not get enough. It was buttery and crispy and everything! The sandwich was too good! The service was great from start to finish. I arrived early in the morning, and even then a few tables were already filled, and more people kept coming in as we sat there. It was clearly a popular spot, and after eating there, I completely understand why. read more

Well, the rumors are true. Red Apple Café is absolutely amazing for breakfast. Word is definitely out about this place as there were tons of people were there on Saturday morning. Fortunately they are a high volume operation so we did not need to wait long to be seated or for the food. And everything we did have was amazing. I keep using that word to describe this place but that's because it's one of the better breakfast places I've been to in several years. It has the California country style and has a very homey feel. The country fried steak was delicious, as was the famous potato scramble with the vegetables. It had tons of cheese and egg on top. The other folks in our group got the Hawaiian French toast and the apple pie French toast both of which were super sweet and delicious. Overall zero complaints, and I wish this place was close to where I live. I would definitely go here all the time if it was. Easily five stars and I would rate it higher if I could. read more

10.11.2025 We came here after the Clovis XC Invitational looking for some good home-cooked food. And this place did not disappoint! The wait at 10:30 am on a Saturday was 20 minutes, so it wasn't too bad. It was a cozy diner with friendly staff. Our server and other staff were attentive and quick to turnover tables. It was busy the entire time we were there. And there were still people waiting outside for a table when we left. I had their Crab Cake Benedict and it was very yummy! The crab cake was thin and fried, but had just the right amount of crab in it. The hollandaise sauce was light and tasty. Usually hollandaise sauces are thick, goopy and too rich so I ask for it on the side. But our server recommended this meal over the chicken fried steak because of the sauce. And I agree wholeheartedly that this one was good. The eggs were cooked perfectly! The potatoes were huge pieces and seasoned well. The whole meal was comforting and filling. If you can't find parking in their small lot, go out and turn right on the first residential street after it. read more

I've eaten here several times. It can get busy so if you're not coming here during the week expect a wait. A great selection of lunch and breakfast items. I posted the Chiliquiles. The sauce was a nice topper (ask for extra). I enjoy their selection of coffee cocktails. I didn't have one this time but next time no holding back. It's a pretty casual place but there's plenty of business being done here over breakfast. read more

I really wanted to have a nice Homestyle breakfast with a friend of mine and suggested this Cafe they are known for their potatoes and boy did they not disappoint. We ordered mimosas with our meal that came out very quickly. I must say I really like the drinks here because they know how to pour. We both ordered the Tequila Sunrise Mimosa which was an excellent choice. Are order was taken by our server and our food came out shortly. I ordered the breakfast with turkey sausage eggs and potatoes. This dish also came with your choice of bread to which I had an English muffin. My friend ordered a vegetable omelette and added bacon to it. The size was incredible and there were definitely leftovers. Overall this is a highly recommended restaurant. In most cases there is a wait,however because we came later in the afternoon we were easy lease seated. read more

Stopped here on the way to Yosemite. They have REALLY good service. A lot of workers walking around, refilling drinks when they get a chance, friendly and fast. The restaurant was a bit packed when we went in on Friday noon. - Espresso Martini 3.9/5 Strong, pretty good espresso martini. - The Works Omelette 3.7/5 HUGE omelette. Cheesy, meaty, it really hit the spot for an omelette. Definitely can taste all the different kinds of meat in there. - Potatoes 1.2/5 A big let down. Wasn't crispy, tasted soggy. - Steak & Eggs 1.6/5 Steak we asked for medium rare but came out medium well. Underseasoned. Tough. - Hash brown 4.7/5 Hash browns were very crispy on top and soft underneath. - Potato Salad 5/5 Got to try the potato salad. It was AMAZING. Literal definition of what a potato salad should be.

4/20/26 Haven't been here in years but my friends and I came by this morning for breakfast. From the get go, the service was SPECTACULAR! Apologies for not knowing names, but a blonde woman with a headband on opened the door and smiled at us and immediately sat us. The place was clean, coffee refills were consistent, the food portions + quality were great for the price. Can't wait to come here again! read more

Waitress with blonde hair and flower tattoo on her right arm was passive aggressive and had no manners. Told us that they had called our names multiple times but we never heard them call us once and we were sitting outside in the chairs. Our server was nice. Food was okay, the potatoes and pancakes were the best takeaway. read more

Went here on a whim on a Saturday morning and glad we did! We got on the list and were seated quickly. The restaurant isn't fancy, but it's cute and cozy. They do also have a patio option that is covered which is nice. The service was fantastic. We had a couple people checking on us and got refills without having to ask. Food was also pretty quick. Breakfast was super tasty. Everything was fresh and good quality and big portions. I tried my husband's country potatoes and the flavor was amazing. My French toast meal really hit the spot with a mix of sweet and savory. So glad we stopped by! read more

Service good and ambiance was nice . However the menu selection was standard fair. I ordered corn beef hash as it's their house special and my favorite breakfast dish. They placed the eggs over the hash to disguise the not good hash . It was so crumbly it needed a spoon to scoop up and you couldn't taste the corn beef as it was in a puddle of oil. The coffee was also undrinkable very bitter. I had high hopes and was extremely underwhelmed . Potatoes were delicious however and my girlfriend's chicken fried steak was very good. Last pet peeve they have paper napkins not cloth . Over all 3 1/2 out of five stars . For me it was just overrated to my experience. Maybe it was a bad day for the cook. Unlikely I would ever come back . read more

Service deserveds a 5 out a 5. Multiple staff came by and asked if we needed anything and it was enough as a guest to know they are here for you. Our waiter even asked if the bacon was cooked the way I wanted. The Pina Colada Mimosa was the first time I tried one and it did not disappoint. It was balanced with the right amount of alcohol and pineapple juice. The sugar on the rim made every sip just that much sweeter. Their country potatoes are the best I have ever had as they are either cooked with bacon or in bacon grease, makes the potatoes perfect for those you love a soft potato with a little saltiness and texture. The hot link benedict was really good with chipotle sauce on top and the poached eggs were cooked at the right temperature and would say congratulations to the chefs. Overall I really enjoyed the atmosphere and would give this place a 4.5 stars out of 5, but that is not an options. Great for couples, families or even a meal alone. read more

Reviews gave this place good feedback. I must say, the food was not good. When we got it to our tables it looked but that's about it. I got the chile verde ranchero and my wife got the chilaquiles with chile verde. The chile verde itself was ok but the rest of the dish was not good. Everything tasted flavorless and the beans were salty. My wife's chilaquiles were more like tortilla strips with everything else over it. I don't give this place a one star because staff was super friendly. read more

The eggs in the Benedict were really good, however the smoked salmon was very average. It was slightly tough and had a fish-y taste (more than what's expected in a smoked salmon). Slightly disappointed with that since it was one of their most recommended dishes. The blueberry French toast was amazing with their salted butter. The omelette is definitely recommended for cheese lovers. Classic diner vibe, with responsive service. read more

Always loved red apple cafe and the potatoes they serve. Staff are always friendly, attentive, and know the perfect time when to check up on me while I have a mouthful of food. Honestly, their crabs egg Benedict are my favorite, but I wanted to try something new today. The calamari steak was not what I imagined (imagine calamari the side, but one big piece). It was bouncy and very meaty, but I loved it as a seafood lover. By far one of my favorite breakfast places read more

This restaurant is ALWAYS busy and for good reason..the food is delicious and the service is exceptional. Beatrice was our server who was very friendly and helpful.

I don't write Yelp reviews. Truly. But I felt absolutely compelled to write this one. We ate at the Red Apple Cafe on W Herndon, and from the moment we walked in, the experience was something special. I've never felt so genuinely welcomed in a restaurant before -- not in a scripted or performative way, but in a way that made us feel like we belonged there. I arrived late, and before I even got there, my boyfriend had already been seated. He later told me that three different staff members stopped by to ask if he needed anything to drink or if he wanted to order ahead. What stood out was how they did it -- not rushed, not hovering, not salesy -- just kind, attentive, and caring. He felt looked after, not pressured. When I arrived, the greeter Sam (with pink/blonde hair) was incredibly sweet and sincere. I was exhausted, and somehow her warmth and kindness made me feel like I didn't look nearly as tired as I felt. That small interaction honestly meant more than she probably realizes. Our waitress, (who also happened to be named Sam) (with brown hair), was prompt and friendly and made me feel like I wasn't too much of a burden when I asked for my plate without mushrooms or tomatoes. I know often times that substitutions can be taxing but truthfully those items trigger my eosinophillic esophagitis and she did not even make me feel like I was asking for "too much" or feel like I had to offer an explanation as to why I didn't want those items on my plate. Ann, another waitress who attended to us, was also absolutely wonderful, offering beverage refills and bringing us water and extra napkins before we even had time to ask. The level of attentiveness felt natural and caring, never intrusive. And the food -- absolutely delicious. Generous portions, so much so that we couldn't even finish everything. You can tell care goes into both the food and the people serving it. If you're looking for breakfast at a place that truly wants you to be there -- to sit, eat, enjoy, and feel at home -- give the Red Apple Cafe a try. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food is delicious, and the service is second to none. read more

Red Apple Cafe is a cute little restaurant welcoming guests for breakfast and lunch. When you first arrive, you're greeted with a large line of people also there to eat. The restaurant isn't large enough to accommodate many people, so eating time is limited. Although that's understandable, what isn't understandable is the constant pressure to hurry and leave. As someone who eats slow for a multitude of reasons, I find that extremely annoying and unprofessional on the restaurant's behalf. Customer service was very lacking and had me feeling ready to leave, and I wasn't even halfway done with my meal. Multiple mistakes were made with my groups orders. Taste-wise, the food was alright, but not as delicious as the line insinuates it is. All in all, for the price range and service, there are better breakfast restaurants. read more

I've been to Red Apple Café before, but this was my fiancé's first time visiting since he recently moved to Fresno from out of state--and he absolutely loved it. The food was so good, and my tequila sunrise mimosa was just perfect. Even on a busy Saturday morning, the service was excellent across the board. Our server, Lisbeth, truly made the experience even better--so warm, friendly, and attentive. She was so great that we asked the manager to stop by so we could give her a shout-out, and the manager shared that Lisbeth had already received two other compliments that morning. Definitely well deserved. We'll both be back for sure! read more
