Was looking for a good breakfast spot and I'm glad I found this place! It's hidden in an auto repair plaza. This is a breakfast place that also has Mexican food. First off, the hash browns are really crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I love hash browns and this one did not disappoint. I got a breakfast combo with eggs, avocado, ham and cinnamon French toast with strawberries and bananas. I thought the ham was going to be Canadian bacon but it was a big piece of ham. I didn't like the ham, but everything else was delicious. Their cinnamon French toast is made in like a cinnamon roll which was really good! The banana French toast was also a hit! Fluffy and sweet deliciousness! I forgot to take a picture, but we also got the pancakes with a side of strawberries and Nutella. All the food was homestyle comfort food that was simply delicious! Check out this hidden gem! read more

A gem off of Sierra HWY in Lancaster, CA in a very inconspicuous building is the Morning Griddle Cafe. As you walk in you are greeted by a very friendly staff, the entry way also leads you to the bar top seating area facing the kitchen. Within the main building you will find many booths and table options, they have many interesting art pieces and decor. It's a classic diner atmosphere with friendly staff. The food options are many, from Mexican classics, Burgers, Sandwiches and many other options. The meals are all made to your liking without any pushback around extra costs. The food quality was very high, I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, they were very authentic with a tomato sauce and sauteed onions and peppers, not spicy but I did ask for their home salsa and it brought up the spice level, the dish is served with homemade rice and beans, all well cooked. I also ordered a side of pancakes and bacon for my dad and they were perfectly cooked. The cost of the meal was very reasonable and worth the visit. I have shared my experience with my friends and family in Lancaster. read more

The food and service was so good that I had to come back again today. Today my friendly and helpful server arrived at our table quickly to take a drink order which was delivered within minutes. Then came back a few minutes later to take the food order. I had the Eggs and Ham. Hash browns were extra crispy and the ham was flavorful and not too salty to taste. I'd definitely order them again. I highly recommend The Morning Griddle! read more

Was up to see the poppies, and found this place on yelp that was on the way home. We drive right past it because it's in an area that looks more industrial, like right by an autobody shop. You walk in and you feel like you're a guest in someone's home. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and helpful. It's not very big inside, but you can watch them move tables around to try to accommodate as many people as they can. The portions were very generous. We got the burritos and the chiliquilles. Everything was delicious Saving this for the next time we are in the area. Easy to see why they are 5 stars. read more

This restaurant was such a great find! We decided to find a brunch spot after visiting the Poppy Field Reserve and the Yelp review of 5-stars was on point! My friends both got breakfast burritos and our server was happy to do some modifications for them. I asked what the menu favorite was and she recommended the chilaquiles. I was stoked because that a favorite dish of mine. The best parts about their chilaquiles is you can get 1, 2, or all 3 of the sauces - red, green, and mole. Of course, I went for all three. OK, I've had LOTS of chilaquiles in my lifetime, but these were the best. It was served promptly so the chips were still crunchy. The three sauces were all amazing but the mole was some of the best I've ever had. Not overly thick and seasoned just right. I was in food heaven. The pic tells you everything else you need to know! It's a quaint little cafe with several tables and a small counter. Service was friendly and efficient. We went in late morning on Sunday and were seated promptly. Being used to long waits for brunch seating in the city, that was a treat. 100% recommend this small owned business and will definitely go back if I'm in the area. read more

As always a pleasure coming here to have breakfast at the morning griddle. Stephanie is always so sweet and kind to us and the crew is always so welcoming. We love coming here atleast once a week . My hubby always orders the menudo, and I always order different items. I've had almost all of the menu but still have more to try. I had their fish taco platter and it was the bomb. Loved the flavors and the spicy green salsa on the side gave it a nice touch. I also recently had their birria chilaquiles and it was so flavorful. Love their cow decor, my daughter loves it . Overall this place is a gem and I will definitely be recommending this place to everyone. read more

I came here for breakfast and ended up ordering the chilaquiles de mole with eggs, even though it is off menu, because I had seen it on Yelp and it looked too good to pass up. It totally delivered. Really yummy, rich, and satisfying. The coffee was good, the service was friendly, and even though there was a bit of a wait, I liked that they called me when my table was ready so I could wait outside instead of hovering near the front. The ambiance was casual and welcoming, with a lively breakfast crowd that gave the place a fun, energetic feel. Definitely a spot I would come back to. read more

So this is my go to for brunch. They have a full menu and personally my favorite is the tuna melt. I order it with seasoned fries and with a side of their homemade hot sauce. But warning it is very hot and I love it. If you're into spicy caliente I highly recommend it. They do have medium as well. I've become somewhat of a regular and I'm here at least once a week. They open daily from 6am to 2pm. The Morning Griddle shares their parking lot with The Tire Store and there is plenty of parking. I highly recommend The Morning Griddle. It is perfect for families and I always bring my out of town guest here.The vibes chill and they play great old school music. It is a family-owned business. Gregorio and his wife are the owners. When you visit you will see them working diligently. I always feel like I'm at home and have even made friends with the regular patrons. Thank you Morning Griddle and see you soon. read more

They did not give me an avocado when I asked for an avocado cheese burger. Very inconvenient. Service was good. Ambiance was good too.

Stopped by before work since I've been craving hash browns. And I ordered it to go along with a vegetarian breakfast burrito for my coworker. I think it was the manager? He was so kind..he offered all kinds of veggies to be added to the burrito to make it filling. My coworker said it was one of the best burritos she's had in the AV! It was so filling, my coworker wasn't hungry for lunch! My hash brown was fresh and so delicious, especially with the three kinds of fresh salsa. I'll be back soon! read more

I finally got to try this place this morning! My brother's girlfriend (who doesn't live in the AV) send me a social media post on this place. So I have been wanting to try it for a bit. And must say, my husband and I loved it! All of it tasted fresh. Portions are big in my opinion. Everything was so good. Not just the food. Service was great. We did come in during the week, and wasn't crowded. Looks like they consistently have pick up orders and regular customers though. Definitely will come back to try something else. And yes, have recommended it to a few people now. read more

The Morning Griddle did it again! Their takeout is always on point -- well-served, fresh, and exactly how you order it. I asked for pata on the side for my menudo, and they delivered without any issues. What I really appreciate is that unlike many other restaurants that don't honor special requests or forget the details, The Morning Griddle consistently gets it right. Their customer service shows they truly care about their customers and their food quality. Highly recommended -- definitely a five-star spot! read more

The Morning Griddle! If you're in Lancaster, do yourself a favor and stop by The Morning Griddle on Sierra Hwy. The food was absolutely superb everything came out quickly, fresh, and piping hot. What really stood out was the staff. Every single person we encountered was incredibly friendly and attentive. Not once did someone pass by our table without checking in to make sure we were doing okay, which made the whole experience feel welcoming and genuine. The biscuits and gravy are a must-try. My son usually doesn't like them at all, but he tried them here and absolutely loved them that says everything. Between the amazing food, the warm and attentive service, and the great music playing in the background, the whole experience was top-notch. Honestly, this place is better than Disneyland! If you're looking for great food and a friendly atmosphere, this is the spot. read more

The staff here is very friendly and welcoming, we were seated pretty quickly and they took our order 5 min after we were seated. We ordered some French toast and menudo. The menudo could have some more flavor seasoning wise but the meat was very soft and melts in your mouth. The interior is decorated with cows which is very quirky. read more

Well not a five star restaurant,wanted to try this place because it said 4.8 stars and the prices were okay in the app. Well the prices are much higher and the food was so so. My burger look thrown on the plate I asked for extra pickles had to ask the waitress for them and the lettuce looked like it was blanched before hitting the burger it had an okay taste just looked unappealing now for the chicken fried steak hard as a board there was an inconsistency in the cook of the potato's the eggs were good and the gravy tasted good we also had the biscuits and gravy again the gravy was good but the biscuits were hard I had one bite that was soft but over cooked or just a bad recipe I just don't know won't be going back. for this I paid 40$ read more

The only downside is that it was a little noisy due to how crowded it was. read more

Worst experience ever! Weekends, the wait is over an hour. Once we finally got seated the waitress completely forgot to bring our coffee and hot tea and never came back to check on us. We finally got served pork chop, and eggs. The pork chop was so tough, It was inedible. I ordered a poached egg. It tasted like butter flavored margarine, and the yolk was already broken. The food smelled weird and is low quality trash .A friend got a Montecristo sandwich, she said it just tasted like a bologna sandwich. They said they had homemade peach cobbler, so we decided to give them a chance to redeem themselves. It was basically canned peaches with no flavor and some type of soggy crust. No cinnamon or brown sugar or vanilla just completely flavorless. I would never recommend this place and I will never return. I don't know how it gets such a good rating. Gross!! read more

Came to this cafe with my coworkers this morning around 10:30AM...I'll be honest we expected more of a fast food kind of joint but oh my god we were pleasantly surprised! We were greeted by such friendly faces. The staff was so sweet and very attentive. We were originally going to take it to go because again we thought it was a fast food joint, but when we saw how busy the restaurant looked and seeing all of the yummy food come out we decided to have breakfast here. I ordered the biscuits and gravy & my coworkers got the chilaquiles, one got the red chilaquiles and my other coworker got the half and half (red and green). The food was SO good it honestly tasted home made. I got the biscuits and gravy and the gravy was DELISH! We met the owner of the restaurant, his name was Gregorio & he was so incredibly sweet. If you're in the AV please give this place a visit you won't be disappointed read more
