Was in the area for Title Nine's annual Replay sale and wanted to have breakfast. So I found this on my route to work and what a delightful surprise! Nothing fancy, just basic, hearty diner food. It's Denny's, Black Bear Diner, iHop, or Bob Evans without logos and franchise baggage. I had the country breakfast of scrambled eggs, hash browns, ham steak, and wheat toast. It was all exactly what I expected and wanted. The wait staff are friendly and attentive, and the owner is a sweet lady running the register and folding napkins around silverware. Outside, Sukie's is hardly noticeable, tucked away at the edge of a strip mall parking lot. Inside, it's like every diner I've ever been in. If I had children, this would be my weekend family brunch spot. read more

well I went there yesterday because I ws craving chicken fried steak. I was hoping for homemade but nope, it was deep fried. portions were good, the coffee was tasty and overall not a bad breakfast. I have a cancer so I could only eat third of it. The waitress was all right, but kond of creepy. She was a dark haired kind of hibillly type and probably kind, but suspicious of some. What upset me the most was that they added the tip in automatically before I could approve anything. And a generous tip at best. i was planning on tipping ten dollars, but they added five without asking. That I think is illegal, but she didn't care. A lot of whites will do this stuff because they can get away with it, especially white women. i didn't say anything but did add another three dollars and wished her a good day. I don't think i will go back and i want to know if anyone has had trouble about them packing the bill before presenting it to you and if it was this woman. read more

Okay. I've always wanted to try this place but never really wanted to look for it. It was divvy but it was busy & crowded. Folks kept coming in!! The place is very dated but the food was hot & fresh! I ate every bite. There are two corned beef hashes on the menu - canned and homemade. I'm not sure I'll be back but the food definitely hit the spot. read more

Haven't been to this spot in years but wanted a good ol' American breakfast Sunday morning so figured we'd give it a go. Definitely a no-frills diner. The interior could use some sprucing up for sure. But what makes this place great is the food and the super friendly and attentive staff. I ordered the hotcakes special (2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 sausage). I also ordered a couple more sausage because yum! The wife ordered her fave French toast with scrambled eggs and sausage. And we both had coffee. Everything was sooo good. And the soft whipped-like butter and warm syrup were perfect! We'll definitely be going back. This place is like a hidden gem, way better than some of the chain breakfast restaurants where you have to wait an hour to get seated. But this place is no secret with the locals as it filled up pretty quick with the breakfast crowd! read more

Sukie's Country Kitchen - Special Hotcakes breakfast and French Toast breakfast - Southern Near Me - San Pablo, California

Been living I the area, I've never known such restaurant around. This time I came with my parents for breakfast, I am surprised why I missed such a good place! Atmosphere and the decor are very classic. They even have senior breakfast options, which is very good for those elderly who can't eat much! Foods are ok and decent, service was good and friendly. I will definitely come again with my parents! read more

Came here for the first time today. I enjoy non-chain restaurants. I read that the potions here are large and that they're open until 2 pm. They open at 7 am. From the outside, the place looks closed, as you come into the parking lot, you're coming in towards the back of the building. The entrance is on the opposite side. As I walked in, I got an 80's vibe. The look of the place took me back to the old days. The seats in the booths, some were ripped, carpets were old. There's counter seating available. So we ordered breakfast. I got pancakes, eggs and bacon. Bf got the fajita omelette with hash browns and toast. I liked my food, but the pancake had a rubbery texture. It didn't taste bad, just had to really cut at it with my knife. I think next time, I'll try the French toast. Bf enjoyed his food. The service was friendly and accommodating. Our food came out quick and the waitress made sure that the coffee always stayed full. I enjoy old-fashioned, classic American comfort food. I'll be back. read more

Me and the wifey went to breakfast at Sukie's and not having been there in years I was happy to see that the food is still the same. I ordered the breakfast burrito and a short stack and the wife ordered the Country breakfast. Service was great and prompt! My coffee did not get lower than half a cup. The burrito came with county potatoes and add the short stack was not able to finish everything. Wife wasn't able to finish her entire breakfast so she had a take home plate which was good later. Prices are fair and the restaurant was clean. Will definitely be back and sooner than a bunch of years!! read more

Sukie's Country Kitchen - A Real Comfort Food Gem Back again!!!! My hubby and I had a late breakfast at Sukie's Country Kitchen, and it reminded me why small local diners are always worth the stop. The service was welcoming the moment I walked in, best customer service in the Bay Area!!! This staff is exceptional The staff checked on us often without hovering, kept the coffee full, and made us feel like family!!! The Food: The plate came out looking exactly like classic comfort food should. The omelet was fluffy and full of fresh veggies. The corned beef hash was the highlight - tender, well-seasoned, and mixed with perfectly cooked potatoes. You can tell they actually take their time preparing it instead of just scooping something out of a can. The potatoes had that nice balance of soft centers and crisp edges that only comes from cooking them right. The scrambled eggs with cheese on the side were cooked soft and tasted fresh. Even the coffee had that old-school diner feel: freshly made dark rich roasted taste superior coffee!!! The Experience: There's something about a place like Sukie's that feels steady and familiar. The service is friendly, the plates come out hot, and you can tell the kitchen cares about the food they send out. It's the kind of spot where you relax a little and enjoy real breakfast without rushing. We stayed for over an hour just enjoying the atmosphere. Overall: Exceptional service, hearty food, and a comfortable atmosphere. Sukie's is the type of diner that keeps people coming back for years. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a solid, satisfying breakfast made with care. We have been coming for 7 years that says a lot about a place so special like Suckie's !!! read more

Haven been here in many years. Husband and I came in for breakfast. We were seated and served pretty quickly. I had the country morning breakfast. It was good. The country potatoes could have used some seasoning but I like everything heavy seasoned. My husband had the breakfast burrito plate and loved it. Pancakes were good too. Good old fashioned breakfast and good service. I will come back. read more

Service was great, friendly welcome, consistent follow-up, and pleasant interactions. The food however, on this visit was a bit of a miss. The signature items are the grits, but I wanted to venture and do something more traditional. I went with the Old Fashion Waffle with 2 eggs, and a split order of bacon & sausage. The waffle & syrup were pretty basic... Needs something like a hint of cinnamon or some powdered sugar. Same for the eggs & meat... sausage & bacon were overcooked. It's been better, and with the rising costs, I was expecting more for my money. I'll return but if it doesn't deliver, I may have put this one to rest as many other options are avaialble. read more

I love Sukies kitchen. It's an old style dinner but food is super delicious and flavorful. I go here at least 1X per month and it never disappoints. I either get the biscuits and gravy or pancakes. Coffee is pretty good too. The service is fast and friendly. read more

8/18/24 The chicken fried steak here has won many awards (verbal medals awarded over the years from my wife). Their grits are rumoured far and wide to be an aphrodisiac. If you are into grits, get ready for a dining romance. We visited again this Sunday. A lot of hard worker looking customers eating and many raucous children making a racket. Sukie's seems much mellower on weekdays with more seniors and fewer juniors if you prefer that. The restaurant furnishings look dated (like Sukie has been on a few too many rough blind dates) but the seats are mostly comfortable and the place is mostly clean. The staff works feverishly to keep everything bussed and buzzing. With the reasonable price per portion size ratio, you will have extra cash to leave a nice tip for the staff if your heart is in that place. Sukie's proves the adage. The way to a man's or woman's heart IS through their stomach. ENJOY. read more

It's a neighborhood restaurant and good for breakfast or brunch. The menu has a variety of food to please different tastes. The coffee is not that strong but drinkable and has free refills. I ordered the chicken and waffles cooked fresh to order so there's a 20 minute wait. It comes with 4 chicken legs and 1 waffle, worth it for the price. I prefer the waffle to be a little crispier. The chicken batter was crispy and seasoned well and not salty. My husband had the senior breakfasts - sausages , over easy egg, sourdough toast and rice. Con - bathroom plumbing not too good and the sink too high if you are a wheelchair user. I would return to try other items from the menu. I also liked the old fashioned cafe ambiance! Very cozy and the staff were great ! read more

We came into Suki's Country Kitchen at 10:10 and had to go find a server just to place our order. There were only three of us in the section, but when a party of seven walked in, they got immediate service while we were ignored. By 10:48, we still had no food, no refills, and no check-ins from our server--yet the large party already had all their meals. When I finally asked, I was told ours was "coming," and about five minutes later it arrived. The food was just okay, nothing special. The service was awful. Our server never returned once, and I had to hunt him down just to get the check--only to find extra items had been added that we never ordered. The manager did fix the bill after I pointed it out, but that shouldn't have happened in the first place. On top of that, the restaurant felt rushed and chaotic, with plates breaking multiple times and even a dish dropped on the floor. As someone who's worked as a restaurant server before, I can say their "Southwest sit wherever you like" approach does not work--especially if you don't assign one or two staff to cover each section. It creates confusion, inconsistent service, and leaves customers like us completely forgotten. And the problems weren't just with us. As we were leaving, a party of eight came in and sat down. Even during the 3-4 minutes I was talking with the manager about fixing our bill, not a single server went over to greet them. I pointed it out, the manager glanced into the room, and then simply kept going without addressing it. Between the long wait, wrong charges, poor service, and chaotic system, this was a huge disappointment. We won't be back. Management: Slow down, assign sections properly, and focus on service and accuracy before speed. Otherwise, customers will keep having experiences like ours. Customer: Double-check your bill carefully and be prepared for a long wait, even if the restaurant doesn't look busy. read more

I've been going here for about 2 decades. Nothing has changed and I love that. One of my favorite local diners and I've got so many good memories coming here on Sundays with my family. I hope nothing changes here. They've always had fair prices and large portions with great flavor. Much love to Sukie's read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. The service was so terrible we didn't even stay to eat. Took 15 min to even be acknowledged and ask for water. Three people came in after us and we're all served and their orders were all taken before ours. I Had to ask for straws and cream and sugar multiple times. Our order was taken and when I asked for the sugar a second time I was ignored again by the lady who was serving the drinks. I was so frustrated because we talked this place up to our daughter and were so excited to return only to be ignored and leave very disappointed. read more

This place is tucked away in the corner of strip mall, and closer to the the back end of CCC college. From the outside it reminds me of a Spires diner or old Lyons location. If you can't tell from the name, it's Korean owned. It wasn't too busy when I went, but it was on a weekday. There were only about 2 servers, but they were efficient. There were regulars that came in, and then a lot of pick up orders. The menu is one page, front and back and has a variety of selection to meet everyones dietary needs. I ordered the chicken fajita omelet with a side of grits and sourdough toast. The omelet came and it was packed with diced seasoned chicken and freshly diced green peppers and onions. (sometimes places like to use the frozen packets) the grits were perfectly cooked and alot of it so I ended up taking them home. A cute little spot with good food, definitely probably packed on the weekends. Will place an order to go before work sometime read more

I had time today, Ordered 3 grit breakfast meals which had no taste after seasoning them I ask the waitress to remove one which would only be fair due to the fact of it being horrible and not even that hot!! I go to pay for the meal and instead of them removing the whole meal the waitress decides to charge me for bacon Really? I bring it to her attention this isn't right the whole meal should be removed and at any other restaurant it would have been, The waitress says and you probably send things back! I said this little penny Annie ass restaurant when I'm used to 5 star restaurant no need to send back the food!! The Mexican cashier had the audacity to say that's not how it works here we have to charge for something The hell you are take that meal off Guess what I won't ever have to visit again!! read more

Ambiance is a warped early 80s but still kept in tip top shape. Had their medium rare NY steak breakfast here with hash-browns, medium over easy eggs asked for avocado on the side, steak was rough but everything else super good. Service was ok, the ladies were really courteous just getting your food took longer than usual, coffee is norm, other than that great spot for couples and families. read more

Great food and service!!! I've been going for years already satisfied. Never had an issue food is always hot and quick!

I didn't like the service the food was very hard and cold and they forgot to bring our toast and it wasn't even toasted right the coffee was too strong and the waitress didn't even come after we called them over she seemed mad when she brought my toast she said bread and just put it down I'm never coming back and I will let every one I know never to come read more

We are in love with Sukie's biscuits and gravy! We discovered this venue a few months ago, and after my first bite, I knew this is the only local place to come for biscuits and gravy. After moving to the area from the south I have been on the lookout for good biscuits and gravy. I have yet to find a place with amazing ones, but until then these ones make the cut. The biscuits are very fluffy and fresh, and they always have enough gravy to cover them. They are always busy, but we never have to wait more than a minute or two for a table. read more

**FOR GRUBHUB ORDERS** Sukie's owner and staff: it is necessary to put the food delivery orders in a large paper bag and staple it shut. I order ALL the time and it comes in a plastic bag, easy access to the driver to tamper with the food. This time my salad dressing container was placed on top of the food container, I just threw it away. Please take this extra step to preserve the safety of your delivery orders. read more

My friend said this place was good but I was rather disappointed! Maybe it's what I ordered but the pork chop and eggs breakfast was Just ok. The biscuit was nice and moist and the eggs were average. It was served with country potato's that were likewise ok but the pork chops were beyond dry and served without gravy. Maybe I was expecting something else but... I like my breakfast pork chops to come with gravy and I needed to ask? read more

Experienced really bad customer service by Maria. We came on an empty day. We like to come here at least monthly, but after our last visit that will change. It was emptier than usual. It took like 15 minutes for them to even take our order. Some of us got one plate some of us got two. I wasn't even done with half of my sandwich when Maria brings the check ... it felt like we were being rushed . On top of that one of the plates burger was undercooked ... so sad that one of our go to places has gone down hill read more

Went there on Sunday looking for a great experience. To my surprise I was greatly disappointed. The chicken & waffles are not good. They actually served us 2 orders. I couldn't believe that it was passed from the cook to the server and no one observed the way this chicken was so over cooked on both orders. The country breakfast sausage was over cooked the same way. The pancakes were cold, and service was very slow. read more

I like their breakfast especially their eggs. French toast better than the pancakes. Don't care for the lunch as much.

We arrived 35 mins before closing and they tell us we can only order take out. They were about 15% full. We order our takeout (the prices have nearly doubled in recent years). I pay extra for veggies. We are super excited about the biscuits. But the biscuits are just dinner rolls from a package and the veggies weren't there. $60 for 3 meals of take out after this place that wasn't even closing yet.... Never again. read more

Good food good service very economical especially now on this times my families favorite spot

To be honest, I went here not believing my wife, but I don't think I'll be coming back. The carpet was dirty and stained. Our table was sticky. The hollandaise sauce was not the right yellow color and it didn't taste quite right. There was lipstick on my coffee cup and to top it all off, there was a hair on my toddler's plate as well. I hate doing poor reviews on a small or local business. I prefer to support local! But they definitely could use a revamp. read more

Me and my bf wanted to go eat here and I wanted to have a big table and the Mexican server the old lady with some bangs was like this table is only for big parties so we moved but some African American couple sat and she didn't even tell them to move so that made me feel discriminated and mad please do better with that service. read more

Have eaten there several times. Always good friendly service, and good food large servings.

Love this place! My family has been coming to Sukie's for over 30 years. I have great memories coming here as a kid with my family and friends. I still come here and invite new people to check it out. Great prices, friendly staff, and fantastic meals! Come check them out! read more

I ordered sukies one sleepy morning on DoorDash. Being that I was so tired, I misread the menu and ordered the wrong thing. Ugh....I mean, just ::sigh:: What I meant to order was the linguica skillet. What I ordered was the chorizo skillet. I remembered to ask for no cheese on it but I didn't get the right meal, geez lol. When my food arrived I opened the container and immediately knew what I had just done wrong. I was so disappointed. Reluctantly I tried a bite....hm, I tried another bite. Hmm, one more bite just for data analysis. Turns out it was pretty damn tasty. Who knew! I did have moly mind set on some sliced sausage so I quickly cooked up some Evergood hot links (my fave!!) and threw those in. Even better now. The portion was gigantic. Seriously I ate on it for days! I included a picture of my leftovers so you could get an idea of how much food. This can easily feed and fill 2-3 people. I'll definitely be ordering this again now that I know how good it is. read more
