    Hopmonk is my go-to when I want a relaxed meal outside on my way back from SF. The outdoor seating…read moreis the main draw for me. There's plenty of shade, so it stays comfortable even when the sun is out, and it's a great place to linger with friends. Some nights they have live music, and it adds to the atmosphere without drowning out conversation. I keep ordering the Nashville hot chicken sandwich because it's delicious every time: crispy, with real heat and a good kick. The waitstaff are consistently friendly and make you feel welcome, even when it's busy.

I went in…read moreon a Monday afternoon with my sister, mom and our little ones who are too young for kids menus. We had a great experience with our waiter. He was super kind, patient, and welcoming. The entire staff were very sweet & we had a beautiful time. We tried the Juno mocktail. It was delicious. Usually they can be too sweet but it wasn't! It was so good! And a Shirley temple to keep it light which was also very delicious. We decided to go with the onion rings and egg roll appetizers. The onion rings were fried perfectly, salted just right and not oily at all. The egg rolls had enough spice to pair with the aoili sauce they gave us. Would order again! My mom is usually a picky eater.. and she LOVED the fish & chips. They looked really good, I would've snatched one off her plate but I don't think she would've shared this one lol My sister and I both had the Nashville chicken sandwiches. Soo good. Only side not I have, the lettuce it came with, could've done without. The chicken spoke for itself with the Caesar salad or fries. Spot on perfect. And if you like pickles.. those pickles were crunchy & delicious! 100/10! Would go again :)

I went back the following day just to get another sandwich. The stuff are so accommodating. So very friendly. We've been going there so long. They know us by our name. They could probably tell us our order also. My husband likes to get breakfast there. Typically he gets the eggs benedict which he loves or he gets the eggs Florentine. Everything comes out so nice and fresh. But you definitely have to try their fresh squeezed orange juice. It's to die for!! So if you're in town in Novato make sure you stop by. There is seating inside and outside.

Since he wasn't home yet, we decided to enjoy the beautiful weather, sit outside, and grab a great meal. The service was amazing, and the food did not disappoint. The bacon is absolutely phenomenal you have to try it! Everything was fresh, delicious, and served with a smile. Great atmosphere, great food, and excellent service. If you're in Novato and looking for a good breakfast spot, I highly recommend stopping by Bacon. Keep up the great work, Bacon. We hope to be back soon!

The salad with the sandwich was uninspired plain iceberg lettuce. The elote was mild, not bad and came with (yummy) cotija and mayo. The barstools at the front that look like legs are cute but the aggressive cowboy decor with white linen tablecloths felt misaligned. I don't think they know the vibe they are going for. I'd go again and try something else when in the area. Their menu is huge!

Two companions ordered and raved about their burger. Everyone loved the crispy-on-the-outside and tender-on-the-inside fries. They were gracious to create a special order for me: 2 eggs scrambled with spinach, diced tomatoes, and chorizo; iceberg lettuce, plantains, and homemade hollandaise. Since l adore extremely lemony hollandaise, I asked for lemon wedges; they brought 3 and I could have used even more. (I really like it lemony!) Our server was fun, sweet, competent, and friendly. There are so many wonderful options on the menu--breakfast all day including omelets, waffles, and pancakes. Thursdays are for special pricing for pupusas I can't wait to try. The ambience is adorable. It's a Western theme. Our server wore a fringe vest. There are adorable stools (see photo!) that are actually as comfortable as they are cute. There are two big screen TVs that had lovely spring scenes that made me pause, smile, and soak it in. There's a rack of Western hats--perhaps for little buckaroos to wear when seated on the horse getting their photo taken. There's a huge white throne bench for photos, too. Super fun. I'll be back!

I picked up my own order, so my food was fresh and hot. Now, I have enjoyed the fried chicken from real Proposition Chicken in Oakland. I have also enjoyed orders of fried chicken from other Local Kitchens. Those fried chicken entrees were all fine. But the fried chicken entree from Novato has a crust that is like biting into rock. It should be crispy, not hard like concrete. You might find the crust "very crunchy." The meat is moist and fully cooked, but I needed a knife to get pass the hard crust. The biscuit was soft and fluffy. I didn't try the salad. Local Kitchens is supposed to duplicate the real Fried Chicken Entree, and this rock hard crust is not acceptable.
