This place was SO good I want to break my review into categories. Service: From the second we walked into the building we were helped by the hostess. We sat down and looked at the menu, we were greeted by our waitress shortly after and got our drinks right away. We took a minute and she came back around and took our order. The wait for our food was maybe 20? minutes or so, even with big crowds of 6+ families already seated and eating before us. Food: The food was the kicker for me. I woke up craving a chicken fried steak and that is exactly what I got. Finished every bit of it and was so happy with it that i'm thinking about the next day! My partner got a 5 egg omelette and was very satisfied with it as well. The biggest and best part of the dishes though were the crispy potatoes!!! I would go back for the potatoes alone because of how great they were. This breakfast was exactly what I wanted. Ambiance: Everyone who worked there seemed so cohesive and friendly. Operating like a well oiled machine! I noticed during being seated that one of the chairs was wobbly and told our waitress and she fixed it right away. We also asked if there was a military discount at check out, which there was not but they do serve free breakfast on 9/11! I would recommend this to anyone who is craving a hearty, locally owned restaurant in north/west phoenix. I'm located centrally and the drive was only about 14ish minutes or so. read more

Went to Ronnie's Cafe off 43rd Ave & Cactus for breakfast today. This place looks like it's been around forever, and honestly, that's part of what makes it good. Definitely a local neighborhood spot. You could tell there were a bunch of regulars hanging out, eating breakfast, talking with the staff, and just enjoying the morning. The service was awesome. Our server was super friendly, sociable, and made you feel welcome. I'd give her a 10/10 just for the service and personality. Now the food... I ordered one of the big breakfast plates, and when it came out, I was like, damn, that's a lot of food! But it was really good and definitely worth the money. You're not leaving this place hungry. Next time, unless I'm starving, I'll probably go with one of the smaller breakfast plates. But for a good old-school breakfast, good portions, fair prices, and great service, you really can't beat it. Good little local find. Go check them out! read more

The crowd seemed to be mostly older regulars, and the atmosphere didn't feel particularly welcoming or diverse. Didn't feel especially comfortable or bipoc friendly. The portions were large, but the food itself was pretty underwhelming. The French toast was extremely eggy. If you're looking for a traditional, old-school breakfast spot, this may check the box. For me, the food was mediocre and the atmosphere wasn't somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to. read more

This place was hoping! The service was still excellent and so was the food!! I had country fried steak and eggs and it was so good! Everything was cooked perfectly and came out relatively fast! The ONLY thing I could comment negatively on was the coffee. Not so good. I didn't let that impact my review because of how busy they were. I will definitely be back! read more

Super fun, family-oriented atmosphere. Very thoughtful service. Huge portions and great comfort food flavors.

As soon as you walk through the doors, you're hit with the cozy feeling of the place. The decor is so cut when you really look all around. I feel like I was so busy admiring all the art, that the food came out so quick! Husband ordered the big farmers breakfast and I got the french toast breakfast special. Hubby devoured his food, as much as he could! The pancakes were huge. After eating his main plate, he took a few bites then stuffed them in a to go box. Well enjoy them for breakfast the next morning! Knocked off one star bc I thought my French toast was a tiny bit undercooked. They weren't quite as fluffy as I'm used to. Hubby tried a bite and said maybe there's not enough powdered sugar, or maybe we're just used to putting vanilla extract in our French toast lol. I tried his pancakes and they were cooked beautifully! My eggs and sausage link it came with were both delicious. Overall, we'd come back. I'd like to try something else read more

Awesome food and service, one of the best breakfasts in town. Been going here for years worth the drive from Surprise.

Great service. Food portions are huge. Hubs and I both enjoyed our meals. Eggs perfectly poached and hollandaise sauce was great. Hubs said English muffin was perfectly buttered. Food came out quick and hot. We'd definitely come back. Cute interior. Very homely. read more

Love this place. And Jenna is the best. We always ask for her. Food is just as amazing as the service.

This was a stellar family breakfast we had! Portion sizes are big, service is stellar, and feels like one of those places where everybody knows your name. The servers are all in communication with all of the tables, and they're all upbeat, jovial, and making sure everyone is enjoying their emails and there time there. it was a real small community feel. We came in with the fam, my two kids and one of their friends, and my partner and I. Arrived around 12:45pm (they close at 2) and they sat us right down, there wasn't a wait. Our server gave us a few minutes with the menu and we ordered right away, and the food came up in what seemed like less than 10 minutes (7-8 maybe?) and boy oh boy was everything tasty! As mentioned, it was also large portions so most of us took boxes home! We have to come back to enjoy some lunch, because the sandwiches and burgers also look good. Try it! The pancakes won't disappoint. read more

We were seated right away on a Sunday morning. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. If you read any of my other reviews, you'll see that I drink a lot and I one of my rating points is how on point serving staff is with my refills. I got refilled twice here without having to flag her down. She also checked in a couple times after food was served. Portions are huge. Food is tasty. It was crowded, as most places are on Sunday mornings, but I would imagine this place busy all the time. Based on conversations I overheard, it sounds like a regular stop for quite a few people. I had a Philly omelette and it was scrumptious. It was a bit light on the salt, but that can always be added. Once you put too much salt in anything, there is no going backwards. I can see why they only lightly salt the food. The clientele here seemed to be in the older range (including myself), so salt is something to watch. I would definitely be back here when in the area. read more

I have reviewed Ronnie's before, but it has been a while. We continue to dine there and it never disapoints us. I have never had a bad meal there. Sure, maybe sometimes the home fried potatoes aren't quite as crisp as the last time, but never have we had poor service or bad food. I don't believe that there is anything on the menu that is more than $19.95, most everything is much less! The portions will fill a hungry person and will probably take some home. I don't think that anyone else can beat their 5 egg omelettes. Absolutely scrumptious! In the almost 20 years that we have been dining at this restaurant, I think that I have voiced only one complaint! Porkchops and eggs used to be on their breakfast menu and for whatever reason, they were discontinued. Oh, well! I will continue to make due with one of their many other choices! read more

Love this place came here with a friend on Valentine's Day. I got the chorizo and egg Veronica special. My friend got the croissant sandwich. I got coffee with whipped cream. Our server Jenna was super sweet and very accommodating. There were a few people who had birthdays, and the entire restaurant sang happy birthday to them. What a great ambience that was! I would come here in a heartbeat. I'm so glad I found this gem! read more

I decided to try breakfast at Ronnie's due to my sister's recommendation. What a great surprise! When I walk through the restaurant to be seated I looked at the customers portion size of their meals. WOW talk about large B portions! My daughter and I split an omelette plate which included potatoes and we ordered gravy on the side with Homemade toast (bread). The omelette was great and I really enjoyed my potatoes with the homemade bread. Our waitress was attentive and helpful with what to order. She also had our food split in the kitchen which was very nice of her. Stop by when you're hungry you won't be sorry! read more

Stumbled on this place when we left another restaurant that we wanted to try but didn't like what we saw and I will thank the other place for it. lol This is by far the best breakfast we have had. A great meat lovers omelette loaded with meat and cheese and huge. My wife had the eggs and homemade fried potatoes and they were the bomb. Everything we had was fabulous and huge and the best part was the pricing was extremely good for what you get. Even though we live in Goodyear, we are definitely going to make this our number one place for breakfast. Highly recommend you at least give it a try. read more

My husband and I came in for breakfast for the first time, and as a veteran and small business owner myself, I really appreciated the support for the military and was genuinely looking forward to the experience. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way. Our waitress, Violet, came across as cold and unwelcoming from the start, no greeting and a noticeably harsh tone when we asked simple questions(asked for different options of creamer, while she walked by). The interaction made us feel uncomfortable enough that we decided to leave before even ordering. As we were heading out, Wendy assisted us and was kind and respectful, which we truly appreciated. I don't make this statement lightly, but as a couple, my husband being a man of color, we couldn't ignore how out of place we felt. After reading other reviews mentioning similar concerns and noticing the lack of diversity during our visit, it did leave us wondering if that may have played a role in our experience. read more

Definitely one of my favorite brunch spots in Arizona! Make sure to come before 8:30am on the weekends otherwise expect to wait at least an hour since it's always packed! Service is attentive and friendly here. Parking can be a little difficult when it's packed since the parking lot isn't too big. Portion size here is huge!! I got their omelette and it was stuffed with ingredients and super delicious! Their pancakes are super yummy and big. So fluffy and literally melts in your mouth! The decor here is really cute - lots of antique and miscellaneous things for sale on the walls. Price is so affordable (~$15). Definitely will recommend! 10/10 read more

You're paying for the atmosphere at Ronnie's. The staff is great and the place is quaint but the prices aren't fitting. Certain portions are large but the full order (2 biscuits) of biscuits and gravy for $9.95 (not sausage gravy and not homemade biscuits) is a pass. Also, $5.25 for a cup of milk is outrageous! read more

This is a great place for breakfast or lunch. The portions are large the food is delicious and I don't think you can get better service. There's always something cute on the wall if you're looking to buy something unique. Me and my family love this place We go her at least once or twice a month.
