Came back with the whole family this time. We sat in the table side of the restaurant. Note, if you love music, you can't hear it on this side of the restaurant very well. 1. Maple Sage Fried Chicken. My favorite! The chicken is uniquely textured and the sweet sage flavor really makes it stand out. As a person who is actually not a big breakfast food fan, I think this dish has the right balance of breakfast hashbrowns, toast, and eggs mixed with "regular food," the chicken. 2. The strawberries and cream stuffed French toast was pretty good. One of my daughters had this dish and enjoyed it. 3. The house pancakes. My wife thought she has had much better classic pancakes at Orphan and Sunnyside, but they were decent. Probably would not get again. Great service as always. Thanks, guys, for a great start to a day of farmers market venturing (right next door). read more

The Morning Fork - House Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sacramento, California

Comfortable. Homey. Delicious. These 3 words encapsulate my recent brunch at The Morning Fork. I arrived a bit before 11 and parking was plentiful. The waitlist wasn't long, and I was seated at the bar in no time. You can expect to find all your brunch staples here, and I went with the classics: an omelette and pancakes. My server was attentive, the food was yummy, and the ambience makes you feel like a part of the local community. Can't wait to be back! read more

Ordered the country fried steak and it was the worst country fried steak ive had, no exaggeration. It was flaky, the meat was tough, and the meat came out of the fried part. Did not finish it. The eggs were the highlight which isnt a reach. My fiance ordered the tomato and eggs and there was too much garlic in it where it was overpowering. Came here 4/5 years ago and the portions were huge and the food was great, seems like they have fallen off since then. read more

Stopped at Morning Fork with Des before leaving Sacramento. We were seated immediately, but the service felt somewhat cold. I ordered the pancake plate with bacon and scrambled eggs, while Des ordered the bacon waffle with a side of eggs and candied bacon. Unfortunately, the candied bacon arrived burnt. What disappointed me most was the server's comment that she would remove it from the bill as a "one-time courtesy." That wording made a legitimate concern about the food feel as though we were asking for a favor. We were happy to pay for our meal; we simply expected the food to be prepared properly. A straightforward acknowledgment and adjustment would have handled the situation much better. read more

The food was great. They give big portions and the latte wasn't bad. I ordered the omlette and it came with hashbrowns that were perfectly crispy. The chicken and waffles were also good. The waffle was great. The restaurant is kind of small and there's not much seating but they have some space in the back. The wait didn't take us long we had a party of 2. There is only street parking and it is kind of hard to find a spot. The waiting staff is very friendly and the food came out pretty quick. read more

If you are in Sacramento, it's definitely a place worth trying. We were here last time, but didn't review it then. The service is immaculate. What great hospitality! The ambiance can be a little loud, as you might expect for a busy restaurant, but last but not least, the food was great. I'd never had a fruity pebble waffle before. Until next time! read more

Great Breakfast spot!! The food is great I had the Gluten Free waffle with raspberries, shredded coconut and macadamia nuts so good! I've been there many times and they don't disappoint.the service is amazing. The ambience is nice kind of small town dinner with cool art on walls. The eggs and biscuits and gravy is worth the visit. Please look at their website for the restaurant hours and also on weekends except a wait time. They have two bathrooms one on one side of the restaurant the other on the opposite side of the restaurant. Seating has been expanded so that's nice. Reasonable prices, street parking can be a bit tricky so be prepared. Enjoy read more

Ambiance..cute place with home feeling Service..fast and friendly Food..tomatoes and eggs amazing..so fresh and flavorful like farm to table feel read more

Busy breakfast place in the heart of midtown. Luckily it was during the week so I was able to find street parking and a table quickly. Service was great! Everyone extremely helpful and friendly. I ordered their chicken and waffles with a cup of coffee. The food was ok. I would have liked my waffle to be toasted a little longer and the chicken to be a little more flavorful but I ate pretty much all of it, so I think it's just more of a preference. Inside was clean and buzzing with action. They had art work for sale on the walls which is a cute idea to support local artists. read more

Always look for a place that's unique. Service was great and so did food. Feels like mom and pop place. We loved it~

Finally came back to The Morning Fork after almost a year, but I was sad to say my friend and I were both disappointed with the food today. I ordered the French toast, it was just ok. My friend also said her eggs, hashbrowns and bacon were on the bland side. Food was decent but lackluster. BUT the best part of our whole meal was the side of biscuits and sausage gravy. Those were delicious. However, I probably wouldn't come back after this experience given the strong brunch competitors in the area that have opened up. read more

I did not believe the hype about this place at first. The character and the customer service of this place are number one!!! The food is great and consistent but the nostalgia and seeing young people do customer service the way it should be done is amazing and the managers and owners talking to customers gives me the feeling of the 80s and 90s and the community that we have lost. read more

We stopped by on a Saturday morning and had a short 20-minute wait, though they have nice outdoor tables to sit at while you wait. The star of the meal was definitely the chicken and waffles--the waffle was perfectly light and fluffy, and the chicken was incredibly crispy and juicy! We also tried the tomato and eggs and the eggs combo. However, the side dishes were a letdown, as both the country potatoes and hash browns came out undercooked and really mushy. Great main dishes and atmosphere, but the sides could definitely use some improvement. read more

a cozy diner with a hustle and bustle atmosphere. service was good. our waitress was kind and even other workers checked up on us throughout our time. food was good but expensive. i paid $19 for my half order and the portion was a bit smaller than i expected even for being a half order. the benedict was good though, they give you a decent amount of seafood which was tender and the flavor came through very well. the english muffin was buttered and toasted perfectly and wasn't stale. egg was also cooked perfectly and the hollandaise was yummy! fruit cup was okay, but the pineapples were really good, juicy, and sweet. read more

The Morning Fork - Half Order of Lobster & Blue Lump Crab Cake Eggs Benedict with a Side of Fruits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sacramento, California

This is a fabulous old school dinner with a twist of southern breakfast choices and modern compilations. My crab and lobster eggs Benedict was divine. Had a taste of their fried chicken which has a little kick in the spices and so flavorful. It's busy and it's noisy but it's fast and delicious. The street parking is all metered and not the easiest but a trip around the block will likely get you a spot. read more

I now see why the Morning Fork is often busy every day. I finally got to try this spot for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Despite the crowd waiting outside, there was only a 10 minute wait. My table ordered the crab Benedict with hashbrowns, blueberry pancake, and the French toast with a side of eggs and fruit. Our food came out pretty fast. Everything ordered was really good. Can't wait to visit this place again as they have a big menu. read more

We came here for lunch/brunch. Our first time here we didn't know there was even a second room. The front entrance room was full except some booths were open. It took a couple minutes for someone to even greet us, but they were busy. Someone sat us in the room behind the counter. We ordered the crab lobster Benedict with house potatoes and a side of biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs with sausage/bacon and side of fruit. The bacon was really good. Everything was great. A great little breakfast spot. Street parking, we came on a Monday so we didn't have a problem looking for parking but I'm sure on the weekend it's crazy. Will definitely be back. read more

The Morning Fork - Lobste and crab Benedict, house potatoes and side of biscuits and gravy. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sacramento, California

I would probably say one of my favorite breakfast spots in sac. Why? It's a no frills non experimental mom and pop shop. Yes they do have the unique pancakes and French toast with fruits etc but I came to see what a good old fashioned French toast, eggs benny and biscuits and gravy were all about. The mimosas were good both mocktail and and with liquor. They are kinda small I wish they were just a little bigger. And their servers were so sweet and brought up their yogurt which cleaned my palate after eating hearty comfort food. What we ordered below. You can check out the review I made on IG and tik tok @ TheFood.snob Drinks: * The "That's Pretty" mimosa--edible glitter, seasonal fruit, peach syrup, ginger beer--flashy, but surprisingly balanced. * For a spirit-free option: "It's Green"--kiwi, mint, jalapeño. Bright, refreshing, with a subtle kick. The mains: * Fried chicken & waffle--crispy, deeply savory, dialed in * Brioche French toast--rich, indulgent, soaked in maple butter * Biscuits & gravy--thick, creamy, unapologetically savory * Eggs Benedict--perfectly poached, with a house hollandaise that carries read more

I'm giving this five stars because I love classic 60s 70s types of diners where they have just good basic breakfast.. Nothing special and fancy but just good comfort breakfast food like biscuits and gravy and Eggs Benedict with great hashbrowns. Their service was super attentive. We kept on getting coffee and water and nonstop. The interior is what you would expect of a basic diner with brown chairs and seating at the bar. It's what I would want in a place like this. I'll definitely be back. read more

The Morning Fork - Eggs Benedict with fruit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sacramento, California

Haven't been here in years and didn't really remember my last visit, but we were walking around Midtown and wanted lunch. Luckily, we were seated without a wait around noon even though it was busy inside. My girlfriend ordered the Belgian waffle and I got the maple sage fried chicken. Food came out very quickly, and the waiter was a bit blunt but attentive. The country potatoes were really good, fluffy yet crispy. The chicken itself was great, crispy and juicy without being greasy. It was a solid fried chicken, but there was almost no maple or sage flavor, which was a bit confusing. The sausage gravy was absolutely stellar. Honestly, the best way to judge a breakfast spot is by its gravy, and theirs had a lot of layers of flavor, deep and rich. Eggs were cooked perfectly to order, and the toast was just standard buttered toast. I tried a bite of the waffle too, and it was super airy yet crispy, really nice. Overall, a solid spot and pretty fair pricing for being on the grid compared to other places. read more

I once went to a concert that ended at 2 am in a venue that was 4 hours away from where I lived. I got home at 6 am, slept for 3 hours and went to brunch begrudgingly. I was in for a surprise. Morning fork presents its self like an old timey diner, with mimosas, coffee, a skillet that radiates the kind of heat that would keep a family warm through the winter. The staff was a mix of locals who served with speed and smiles that were memorable and noticeable. I don't jump on every brunch invite, I rarely make brunch plans, but I will when morning fork is involved. Morning fork has incredible pancakes and waffles Their coffee is actually amazing And if I could afford the calories, I'd be here every week. read more

What a fun, hoppin' joint! Joined some out of town friends for Sunday brunch here recently. Friendly service and food was delivered pretty quickly. We shared chicken and waffles and the traditional eggs Benedict with loaded hash browns. The latter was quite good with tasty hollandaise sauce, but the loaded hash browns were a bit disappointing as the cheese wasn't even melted (cold hash browns?). The waffle was good but the chicken was on the dry side and I didn't love the corn meal crust. Friends had a BLT (looked good) and a single huge pancake with a side of sausage patties. Coffee was strong and delicious. I'd definitely hit this place again! read more

THE MORNING FORK is easy to find and there are plenty plenty of street metered parking. We had to wait a bit for it to open because we got there too early. But do you believe it? Our group was not the only ones there by the time it opened! I don't know what it used to be and I haven't confirmed my speculation, but it looks like this restaurant didn't bother gutting an old diner and decided to use the existing counter, stools and booths. We came to visit to try their CHICKEN & WAFFLE -- it was worth the wait!! The order was large enough for two people. The waffle was crunchy on the outside, airy on the inside, and the butter and maple syrup made it yummilicious. The chicken was also crispy on the outside, fully cooked, well-seasoned and had juicy meat. CHICKEN FRIED STEAK was also very delicious. The meat was slim, tender, well-seasoned and crispy. The server was patient, flexible and nice. read more

Ughhhhh wish this spot was closer to home!! To keep a long story short, this is your diamond in the rough, classy, mom and pops, one of a kind, hole in the wall breakfast joints. Parking? Good luck. It's down town Sac so it is what it is. Our server was sassy - but sassy in a very good way because that's precisely how we knew this was a TOP breakfast spot! Iykyk. Service was fast, friendly, prompt, and accurate. Pancakes were delicious, fluffy, and filling. Corned beef was made with perfection. Now the highlight - their egg benedicts are the BEST we've had near and around the Roseville area! We've had our share around Lincoln, Rocklin, Roseville, and Sacramento. Now THIS is how you make an egg benedict. Wife had crab egg benedict - was hands down the BEST dish we had for breakfast in quite some time. Forget the fancy spots. This is it, your search has ended. Decor brought me back to the good'ol days with nothing but simple, good food that'll send you loving the rest of day no matter what. Highly recommended for everyone, families, friends, and even solo solos! Follow your nose and it'll lead you right over to The Morning Fork. read more

After a quick Yelp search we ended up at Morning Fork for breakfast. It was about a 10 minute drive from our hotel near Sutter Park. I was starving! I only ate a half of a hot dog at the game and we were too tired after the game and the fireworks show to find food in a town we were unfamiliar with. I ordered the Lump Crab Benedict and my husband ordered Fried Chicken and Waffles. The dishes came out quickly and were delicious! Good portions, well seasoned and nicely plated. Service was also outstanding! It was a great place for breakfast in Sacramento. read more

Morning Fork is a great downtown breakfast spot with absolutely delicious food. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, and the service was friendly. The only drawbacks are that the lines can be extremely long and parking is limited to the street, which can make it a little difficult. Despite that, the food was definitely worth the wait, and I would gladly return. read more

The skinny: Bacon waffle was decent Chicken and waffles is still excellent Super fast seating even on a busy day The lengthy: Too much eating out and sickness pushed our Thanksgiving treat to the very end of 2025! But we made it- the service as always was attentive and kind. The hustle and bustle of a busy yet successful restaurant was ok with two kids and a baby stroller. The art on the walls allows for plenty of good question and answer, "What are the paintings for?" "What do the numbers mean?" We elected to give the children more choice which they used on a bacon waffle. We also ordered the chicken and waffle, with extra chicken, a biscuits and gravy and seasonal veggies. Chicken & Waffle: crunchy and flavor Chicken, fluffy and crispy waffle Bacon Waffle: "not too salty, not too sweet" (i.e., Goldilocks) Biscuits and Gravy: a bit salty and less meat in the gravy than expected Seasonal Veggies: asparagus and mushrooms well-flavored with salt, onions and garlic There are no pictures for this meal because we learned from the last time: it's amazing when it's hot! Biscuits and gravy could go down a few notches on saltines and up on protein. We will be back next year read more

Good food, good coffee, efficient staff. We sat at the bar and were greeted and served drinks and food quickly despite a full restaurant. The wait on weekends can be long. We waited about 20 minutes for two people. House pancake was intentionally thin and perfectly cooked. Pork sausage links were savory and salty. Scrambled eggs were fluffy. The restaurant is loud inside. read more

There's nothing particularly awful about this place but it wouldn't be my pick for breakfast or brunch in Sacramento. The service here is good. There are many staff ready and wiling to help you. So much so that I had three individuals ask for my drink order and based on the loud nature of the restaurant received an extra drink that we didn't really need. No worries though, we were fine paying for that mistake. The food is good, but I haven't found my favorite thing yet. The chicken and waffles is a hefty plate and both done really well. I will say the breading on the chicken is very unique, perhaps a cornmeal? The same breading comes on the country fried steak which does not adhere as well. The meat in that was also very tough and hard to cut and chew. The hash browns were fine and the biscuits and gravy were a bit better than average. The chai I ordered came extremely sweet, but I still enjoyed it. The breakfast burrito also looked good and came with two sauces. I would say if you had to come, the best item would be the chicken and waffles. read more

Excellent cozy cafe/diner with fabulous breakfast options. The space is narrow and seating is limited; plan ahead! The maple fried chicken and sausage gravy were delicious and my over-easy eggs were perfect. I was not a fan of the sourdough toast, but that's probably just personal preference. With good coffee and great service, the Morning Fork is great for brunch or a date or even just a treat yo self morning. read more

I've avoided this place for a long time, simply because the line is always so long. But, we decided to just try it out and I'm so glad we did. Turns out, the wait isn't really that long at all. I mean, with the caveat that the counter is an acceptable option for you and yours. So, I hate diner coffee so much but this spot has legit diner coffee that I can enjoy. That was the first huge plus and we hadn't even order yet. Went with the order I always get at a diner with vibes. Corned beef hash with eggs over medium. Really solid flavor, eggs were cooked well and it was super good!! It's a lot of food so easily could be a leftovers option. The next time we came on in I did a classic Benny and it was really good. They obviously use salt and seasonings here cause the flavors pop. Gotta get back soon and maybe even try that fruity pebbles waffle but that might require an extra edible or two beforehand. Love love this place and the counter is always so much fun causing meeting new peeps and chatting whilst stuffing our faces is always my jam. read more

The yelp community was completely right on this place. I'd offer 6 stars if I could. Food wise:The tri tip Benedict was amazing!!! Full of flavor. My wife had the tomato and eggs.
