The vibe at the shop like going to a very familiar place even if you've been here for the first time. I was working in the area for a little while and I'm a fan of savory pies. I wanted to check this place out. I ended up coming back to this place a few times so I was able to try a bunch of different pies. I haven't had a pie from here that I didn't like. My personal favorite was a special I think they had which was boeuf bourguignon. Even if I had lunch somewhere else, if I was in the area, I would pick up a pie because it became kind of a little ritual where I would bring it to my parent's house and share with my dad the next morning.

I love the picketed onions and I usually hate anything pickled! I also love the aioli sauce on the sandwich. So thoughtfully put together! Their truffle fries complement the dish too. My friend I brought had never been and she was impressed too, she could tell everything was made in house. I really need to come here more often!

Was looking for a good place nearby to have a birthday breakfast and found Provisions through Yelp…read more At first thought, Vallejo? We gave it a try anyway since reviews were good. Tucked inside Vallejo near their City Hall, this I could say is one of those perfect definitions of a "hidden gem"! We normally have to go to either Berkeley or Napa for this type of food. As soon as we walked in, we were immediately greeted & seated by one of their servers. The lady didn't seem to look so happy at first but was actually nice towards the end. Would've been better though if she did have a smile on her face the moment we walked in. But oh well. A male server made up for it and was very pleasant from start to finish! The plates we had this first trip were all scrumptious! Churro Waffle plus chicken, Chicken and waffle and eggs Benedict of the day. The matcha latte I'm used to is actually sweet. The one I had from this place, Matcha Latte w/ Lavender syrup was not sweet at all! Could've been perfect if I was given a heads up or asked if I wanted to add sweetness to it. The sugars provided for my spouse's coffee were all sugar substitutes (Splenda, sweet N low). Not the kind I'd put in my cup. Would definitely be back for their churro waffle & chicken!

Came in on a weekend morning just before the mad breakfast rush -- and thank goodness we did. Not…read morelong after we were seated, the line stretched out the door. But sitting back and observing, this team runs like a well-oiled machine -- clearing tables quickly and seating new guests with efficiency and purpose. Within minutes of sitting down, we had water on the table, followed by hot coffee. I appreciated that creamers (half & half and flavored), sugar, salt & pepper, ketchup, hot sauce, and syrup were already set at the table. No chasing anyone down for the basics -- they're already one step ahead. The menu carries that classic Bab's Delta Diner - Suisun Waterfront feel, but with the added bonus of Von's Korean Chicken offerings -- think crispy fried chicken, Yangnyum chicken, and even some Korean lunch specials you won't find at the Suisun location. And judging by what was flying out of the kitchen, the chicken and waffles were definitely a crowd favorite this morning. As tempting as that looked, I came for Rod's Special -- corned beef hash with fried rice and poached eggs. And let me tell you... Yes, that's exactly what I wanted. Definitely homemade corned beef, with actual chunks of brisket throughout. Comforting and satisfying. My husband ordered the ribeye steak and eggs. While it came out closer to medium instead of the requested medium rare, it was still well seasoned and delicious. Ancestors were definitely in the kitchen. Now back to the service -- because it deserves its own spotlight. There was never a moment our coffee cups weren't topped off. Dishes were cleared quickly, even down to the little things like empty creamer containers. What stood out most is that the team doesn't just stay in their lane -- they work collectively to make sure the entire dining room runs smoothly. Friendly, attentive, and aligned with that cheery, Snoopy-Charlie Brown vibe the place gives off. Great food, strong team, and a welcoming atmosphere -- definitely a breakfast spot I'd recommend.

Greeted immediately by friendly staff and proceeded the counter to put in the order. Ended up getting the spam loco moco. It was okay. The portion ended up being a little light for what the price was, so the value isn't quite there. My son ended up getting a Mickey pancake (loves pancakes and we just came back from Disney) which he loved. Place is nicely decorated with some nice wall paintings and ample seating. Overall, don't know if I'd go back. If you're looking for a nice brunch I'd probably make the trip to Napa, AC, or across the bridge to Pleasant Hill (The Royale).

I was contemplating between this location and another Soul food place near by and I'm glad to have…read moretried their food. I was craving oxtails and that's definitely what I ordered. They are take-out only, this is something to consider when wanting to eat their food and wanted to do a sit down. I did not mind but I opted for Door Dash to deliver instead. I did not realize that the oxtails came with rice already so I called to see if they were able to change one of my side. I was a little too late but it was fine, they gave the option to buy another side over the phone. Whoever I spoke to was very nice & accommodating. Now let's get to the nitty gritty. Location: It's at the Marina strip mall off the highway12, plenty of parking. And like I said, this is a takeout only. They do have some tables and chairs outside if you wanted to eat there. Price: Just comparing it from the other soul food restaurant I mentioned earlier, it's pretty reasonable! Anything smothered on their menu come with rice already which is great. Rice & Beans | 4.5 - delicious! I'm thankful there was a bed of rice on the oxtails because I feel like there wasn't enough rice on the rice and beans itself. Candied Yams | 3.5 - they were good but they were a little lacking on the sweet and candied part. Nonetheless still good! Greens | 4 - now this is a personal take. I think the greens were perfect, the only cons is I can not eat spicy and these were a bit on the spicy side. Took a bite and was so sad because I knew I couldn't eat it. That's a pro for my husband, he loved the greens and the spice. Oxtails | 5 - as a person who loves oxtails, I'd have to say, these were great! Packed on flavor, the gravy was perfect amount of salt and spice. Not only was it flavorful, they were so tender they literally fall off the bone.

I ordered the oxtails, rice and gravy and collard greens. The oxtails were mid. The were a little tight and light skinned meaning they needed to brown a little more. There was not enough gravy for the rice. The collard greens were mid also. Ambiance: The restaurant was nothing special but lets face it -- we dont go to black soul food restaurants for ambiance. We go for good food and Noonies disappointed for food. Service: The service was cool. Nothing special but a pleasant interaction. Parking: Decent parking in front of the building. Overall: It's cool! Not for me but might hit the spot for me. Also, I got my food shortly after they opened and perhaps some of the food was not fully cooked to its best. That said, again, not for me!

We got our food quickly and it was well worth the visit! The food was top notch, the sides were incredible and every bite felt like mouthwatering. We sat towards the back and it was a gorgeous view of Downtown vallejo! I highly recommend coming by and trying this place if you haven't! We will definitely be back again!

I think they do breakfast on the weekends as well, but I've only been here for lunch a few times when I was working in the area. This place is pretty much a stones throw away from the ocean or body of water in Benicia. The folks here are super friendly and kind. You go up to order from a window and find a seat or stand around, depending on whether you wanna eat there or take your food to go. I opted to dine there and the place is super chill. On my trips, I've ordered the po'boy and gumbo combo on one visit and had the catfish bites with the hush puppies on another visit. The food each time was prepared really well and the fried items were perfectly crispy. The gumbo was delicious without being too spicy although there's a plethora of hot sauces on the tables for you if you want to spice up your food even more. This place made me feel nostalgic for the handful of times I visited New Orleans and it made me miss Louisiana food, even while I was eating a good representation of it lol. It made me think about one of my favorite restaurants ever which is Jacques-Imo's. Just a great option for lunch, especially if you want to try Louisiana style Cajun food. There's plenty of parking around as well.
