Scottys is my go-to diner breakfast spot in Vallejo. I grew up going here almost every Sunday as a kid and I still make sure to pay a visit every so often to this day. I always make sure go order the following as soon as I sit down: donut holes for the table and hazelnut coffee for me. After that, I order whatever I'm in the mood for. My favorite no-fail meals have always been the pancakes, Denver omelet and the breakfast burrito. read more

I don't know what has happened to Scotty's in the past few years (besides the pandemic, which I admit, has been substantial). This used to be one of my favorite places to get breakfast or lunch, but the service has become ridiculous. Not only has the wait staff become more rude, they routinely run out of food. I get that this is a very tough time for the restaurant business, which is why I continued to support for a long while during this pandemic, but there has to be some basic level of service for it to even be worth spending my money. Today was likely my last time at Scotty's and I find that unfortunate. read more

Great food, nice staff and the place is like an old diner. We have been looking for a nice diner and this place fits the bill.

This place has been here forever. There are regulars here all the time. The owner knows them by name which I find quite cool. I come here every so often but never had the time to review them. Great mom and pop place for the American classic breakfast. Portions are great and very satisfying for about $10. Great brunch options as well if you're not a fan of breakfast. I ordered my usual, Jack's Special, which is an omelette with mushrooms, spinach, and swiss cheese. It comes with a side of hash browns and toast. Awesomeness for about $10! read more

Typical diner food that hits the spot. It gets crowded in the morning and it can take a little longer, but it's worth it. You will definitely get full. read more

Lived in Vallejo starting in the late 90s and never went to Scotty's even though I heard about it all the time from the locals. Flash forward 20 years and I'm going through Vallejo on the 37 from Marin and decided to get breakfast. Decided I'd finally try Scotty's and I'm glad and disappointed at the same time. I'm disappointed I didn't go years ago and glad because it was great food and great service. Old diner vibe with great service. Your coffee mug will never be empty and if you need something the waitresses are on it. The corned beef hash is canned style and tastes great. The eggs benedict was good and the hash brown made fresh. 5 out of 5 stars. Felt cozy eating there too as a group of police officers came in to have a meeting and all the old-timer regulars were chatting over breakfast. It's a good vibe on a rainy day. I will definitely be going back. read more

All I was looking for was a good mom and pop restaurant that served classic diner fare. Scotty's popped up with 4 stars on yelp so we decided to give it a try. Worst decision ever. It's a hole in the wall located across the street from Dollar General off of Tennessee in Vallejo. The outside was dumpy and the inside was dumpy but it was packed so I figure it was some type of hidden gem. WRONG. Service was horrendous and the food was something a kindergartner could've slapped together. We ordered omelettes and a burger. The burger was so obviously a wimpy frozen patty that they just slapped on a bun and threw a slice of cheese on top (the cheese wasn't melted at all, the burger was cold, we had to send it back to warm it up). My omelette was made with sliced American cheese and ham lunch meat. But the food was only part of it....our waitress (a girl with glasses and a frown) sucked so bad...she never came to check on us, we constantly were asking the busboy for refills or status on our food. He was so kind. At one point, I saw our waitress peek around the corner at us and then hurry up and turn back around. We waited 30 minutes for our food to come out. A tall grumpy looking older blonde lady brought it out a plate at a scattered time. She just plopped a plate here and a plate there almost like she was mad that we ordered food. Ridiculous. There was no excusing the horrible attitudes we experienced. There was one lady who was very nice (may have been the owner or manager) who came by and offered water. She at least was smiling. I hate giving this place a one star review but really it should be a no star review. Scotty's is a skip. Go to South Kelly Grill...they do food and service right. read more

Food is amazing! Service is great ! And the overall place is just really good an wholesome. The food makes you feel at home.

I really enjoyed coming here for breakfast on a weekday. It was filled with senior citizens so it made me feel safe even though the neighborhood is not that great. They have these thin crispy waffles that were soooo good- I'm still dreaming about it. Breakfast portions were not too big or too small and it was priced reasonably. More affordable than other cafes in Vallejo for sure. The waitress was super nice. Bring cash or use their ATM! Will be back! read more

Love Scotty's! Go here for Sunday breakfast/brunch. Their donuts are soft and sweet! Always order some before my actually meal. This is a vallejo favorite. My go to order is a Scotty's #2, it has: bell peppers, ham, bacon, onions, mushrooms, and cheese. It's soooo yummy. The service is great!! Has the whole diner feel. The waitresses know what they're doing and the food is always consistent. read more

Ordered on DoorDash. It was very bad. It's like compared to a cheap hotel free breakfast. My French toast was undercooked, a piece had so much cinnamon it was inedible, and it left a weird other food dish aftertaste. Everything else we ordered was undercooked and bland. Wouldn't go here again. read more

Food is ok- it's a diner. If I specifically ask for my hash browns to be crispy- it means I dont like your raw hash browns. Do not offer them if you can't cook hash browns right. I asked for crispy hash browns, and got raw. The is the order ticket and I saw waitress did not e even make the crispy request on the order. It was ignored. Still it's criminal to serve hash browns with no brown on outside regardless, and raw on inside. read more

Food is okay service is a bit slow. Prices are average. Menu is pretty good. Coffee is terrific

Ordered to go. I got a breakfast burrito with onion rings. I must say the girl was nice and the owner or manager was very accommodating. I have no issues with the service. Very friendly. The burrito was very bland. No flavor whatsoever. No seasonings. I was quickly reminded why I last came here 7 years ago when I had the same thing. The onion rings were okay but the burrito was very bad. read more

The BEST place to get breakfast. Anytime I'm in the Area , I stop here for breakfast or lunch.weve been coming since I was pregnant with my baby The owner and her crew are AMAZING! My daughter loves them all, and they are super sweet and genuine people. They treat their customers like family , which I love . My daughter always wants to go visit 'Honey'(the owner ) it's not her actual name but that's what my kid calls her because that's what she gets called when we walk in through the door . Their portions are generous and their flavor is GOOd- price is amazing . DONUTS- also good ! Amazing omelettes , French toast and Eggs Benedict . Their burritos are also good . I highly recommend them. read more

I went with my family last week. Food was good but a little bit too oily. FRONT SERVICE was horrible! The girl is so rude, she doesn't smile, she doesn't even look at the person when she is giving the change. I won't be going there anymore! Her name is Erica! Honest Review! -Poison Ivy read more

Scotty's Cafe - Steak and eggs special - Diners Near Me - Vallejo, California

Love going to sScotty's the food is always delicious. The wait staff is so kind. Overall the best.

If I could give no stars I would. This is the most unappetizing food I had ever had. I was really looking forward to a nice breakfast before heading to six flags but that was definitely not it. I assumed the food would be great since there was plenty people dining in but boy was I wrong. The food had no taste and was super dry, NOTHING was seasoned. I food did not settle right with me and I puked right after leaving. read more

Yum! This place did a great job! Clean food, clean restaurant, wonderful waitress, great staff and the atmosphere is the best ! Definitely worth stopping by if you are in town. Take a shot on this place. It's got a really good vibe. The prices are more than fair. read more

I have been a customer here for over 19 Years. I was there last week for a Griiled cheese my favorite. On this day it was horrible. The cheese wasn't even melted and bread nit grilled. I waited 40 minutes for my food. The waitress Alana was very rude. And has no customer service skills. I asked her for her name she spelled it out like a kindergartener. She never apologized just wanted to take the sandwich back to reheat. I declined the offer. I did pay forcthe coffee i drank while waiting for my order. Melissa was at the cashier i told her what happened with the food and the waitress. She said sorry. I will never go back here again!!! This waitress is the worst ive dealt with. And the food was disgusting.!!! read more

To be blunt, the food was not worth the price. They did not have anything fresh on hand, food was not seasoned, and it was very bland. My fiancé had asked for sauce for her steak and they had given her a crusted over bottle of A-1 Steak Sauce. I had ordered the fish and chips. The fish was dry and the tartar sauce was not appetizing at all. They had mentioned they had no coleslaw on deck for the fish and chips but I'm thinking I had dodged a bullet by them not having it on hand. I would've taken a picture of the food but it not worth the space on my camera roll. I have never done a review but I felt like I had to save others from having similar experiences. read more

Scotty's has donuts for real, not pricing, not much selection. just went for the coffee brew: peerless hazelnut coconut (m1.95) -self service, tasted fresh drips: -fairly, prompt service -parking lot parking available. read more

Ordered for the first time on Uber eats and one omelette had cheap Kraft cheese slice on top and the second omelette had no cheese at all. Horrible quality. Better off going to Dennys. read more

Where do you stop for breakfast or lunch if you are in Vallejo? How about Scotty's? As a bonus they have their own parking lot. We walked in and were greeted and told to sit wherever we like, choosing a booth. The wait staff was attentive and helpful, another waitress who was not even ours also chatted at us a little bit. This place looks like an institution, very old school or authentic like it's been here forever. It probably has. You see a bunch of slightly beat up tables and booths with a long counter. On the other side of the counter you can see the staff doing their stuff. The waitresses working made sure to check on us a few times and the fact that I was the only one ordering food (BF was not hungry) didn't bother them. The food itself is basic and I ended up getting a vegetable omelet. It needed a little salt and pepper, but better to add those after the fact and season to taste. Overall a pleasant lunch experience! read more

Scotty's Cafe - Diners Near Me - Vallejo, California

When I first came to scottys i had never even heard of this place before and I must've drove past this cafe numerous times. LOCATION: It's on a busy street right off of Tennessee Street in Vallejo, with a small grocery center across the street, the freeway towards Sacramento and San Francisco are about less than 4mins away from the cafe. So I would think it's in a pretty prime location of Vallejo. FOOD: The food is delicious, first time I came here I feel in love with the French toast and Country Fried Streak( I recommend both of them) I've also tried the pancakes and the Omelette both are on my recommendation list. The country fried steak gravy isn't to thick the food is flavorful o be a cafe spot! RESTAURANT: The restaurant screams old fashion cafe! They have doughnuts and coffee for sale at the front, if you're in a rush and need to grab something and go! It's cash only. The cafe looks like it has been opened for a very long time, the structure of things is old fashioned and sometimes old fashion is good fashion! The employees here are very friendly people, you can tell they get a lot of the same faithful customers: the employees knows a lot of people that comes by name and what they already want to eat. All in All I recommend Scotty's read more

Friendly staff and accommodating. Typical diner set u p, small crowded parking lot but I always find a spot. Cash only and the ATM fee is $2!!! There's a Wells Fargo across the street but keep it simple, bring cash. I customized my omelet which included spinach, bacon, jack cheese, bell peppers and avocado on top. It also came with hash browns and tost. Delicious! The resturant is a doughnut shop too. The glaze are pretty tasty. read more

Scotty's Cafe - Spinach, bacon, jack cheese, bell peppers, avocado on the top omelet w/ hash browns & sourdough toast with apple cinnamon jelly. - Diners Near Me - Vallejo, California

I was looking for a breakfast spot close to home. I've been in Vallejo only since April and really haven't been able to explore it much. Came across Scotty's and looked at the menu. What brought me in was the bacon avocado omelette. I've had it twice now in a week :) has to be the tastiest omelette I've ever had. My problem is when I find something I like at a place I'll stick with it and not try much else. But today I'm going to go back and try something different. I think Scotty's will be my go to breakfast spot. The service is stellar the only item I've tried was amazing so I need to explore more of the menu. Heading out the door now to see what sparks the taste buds this morning :) read more

First time here. Very friendly staff, cozy environment. Could help if they accept credit card since less touch is better for everyone.

It's a tiny place with a small parking lot, yet their service and friendliness are by far better than The Dead Fish in Crockett. Scotty's food is delicious without breaking the bank. Everything is fresh and piping hot when it arrives at the table. We enjoy supporting local businesses read more

$11.00 breakfast burrito...ok, but nothing else? Toast, hash browns, fruit slice? Creamer container has scary funk growing inside. Staff are Very Nice. Prices are average. read more

I was looking for a place to eat breakfast and found this spot as I was driving. I ordered the vegetarian omelette and the three stack pancakes. The omelette tasted fresh and it was decent. The pancakes were very good. I washed it down with an Irish Coffee. Beautiful atmosphere and the service was great! Will be back! read more

I wanna say you get what you pay for, but I've definitely gotten better for same price. Coffee was brought to the table first which I didn't want any and water felt like it took forever. The bacon wasn't bad but I wouldn't write home about it. The eggs "cooked to order" were eh. Over medium was what I wanted but the whites weren't even fully cooked while the outer parts were crisped. Overall the look of the place needed some TLC. A little bit of a price raise would do the business some good so they could invest in more staff and updated interior. read more

The food is good for the price point and the wait staff are very nice. AND, the donuts are back!!! BEST DONUTS IN TOWN! They were gone for a long time, are back and they are exactly the same as when I was young! read more

The service here was really good. You get that nice diner feeling here. It's a cozy joint that isn't that big. There's a little bakery area you see when you walk in. You can tell this place can get busy but I doubt there's a usual wait for some reason. I don't remember what I got, but I remember that I wish I got an omelette. I think they're known for the omelets. Another gem in Vallejo, CA. It seems like the really good restaurants in Vallejo are all breakfasts joints (like Good Day Cafe). read more

Breakfast was very good!!! Service was also very good...Thankyou;)...brought my litl guy here for breakfast..Glad its still good here been awhile since i came in.. read more

Went there for brunch once & it wasn't great. The wait staff seemed to not want to be there and the food seemed to be cooked by people that don't enjoy cooking. I left there feeling like I should have stayed home and cooked my own brunch because at least my food would've been better. Everything seemed old & dusty inside like even their donut display case & cashier area looked disorganized. It's a pay with cash only place with an atm at the entrance/exit. Maybe I went on a bad day for them because the other reviews were good, but I'll pass on giving this place another try. read more
