    Found out about this place through Facebook. It was pretty great actually! I got a shot of espresso & the Traditional breakfast with Sausage. The espresso was fresh & the food hit the spot! My husband got a breakfast burrito with Salsa & that really stole the show. He could write a two page essay on why it was so good lol Our server was super friendly & attentive. He even gave my daughter some stuff to color with to keep her occupied. The restaurant is clean, cute, & homey. We will definitely be back

    Chicken fried steak!  So delicious!  Home fries with peppers!  The gravy is so good!

    This is my new favorite place! Service was great as well as the biggest chicken fried steak! Delicious gravy! Nice atmosphere and you can see the cooks cooking!

    Best chicken fried EVER!!!

    So happy to try this place! Barely opened two days ago. PACKED! Usual casual dining room, several bar seat options which I like. Kitchen and table service CRANKING. Super friendly service. Saw several plates going out from Chile verde to breakfast tortas to steak and eggs. All looked tantalizing. But had to go for the chicken fried and OH MY GOD was it good! HUGE and loaded with some of the best gravy I've ever had. Fork tender no knife needed. I'll be back tomorrow. A+++

    I ordered a breakfast burrito here and have no complaints. The place looked clean, food was hot and fresh. Everyone's plate looked delicious. The servers were courteous and accommodated our party of 12 surprisingly quick. Some people in my party mentioned they wished the chilaquiles had more kick though.

It'll taste WHEY better BACON BURRITO $14.25 - ( 7.5/10 ) Mostly egg and cheese, might help to add more meat. But the taste was good, had a kick! Cheese was also meaty and pulley SPICY AND HOT OMELETTE $16.75 - ( 7/10 ) Texture was great but was missing a kick / strong flavor profile. The food was not spicy like the name suggests. DANISH PANCAKES + BERRIES - ( 6/10 ) Not bad! The pancakes on their own weren't too sweet and I actually quite liked adding the lemon they added onto the side. It made the pancakes less heavy CHICKEN AND WAFFLES $15.50 - ( 6/10 ) it's hard to find a place that has good chicken AND waffle. Not bad nothing amazing. Chicken was a bit on the dryer side. Kinda taste like Tyson chicken Waffles moist and good! Good size. TATER TOTS - ( 9/10 ) Tater tots are super crispy and crunchy in the BEST WAY! Not sure how they made it so crunchy without it even browning but they were tasty! - coffee refill - Bathrooms available - Street parking

    Went to Brekkies with my best friend after my appointment last month ( this review was so behind )…read moreand it was honestly such a nice little breakfast stop in Solvang! :)) The place felt really refreshing and the staff were super nice. I got the Eggs Benedict and it was good, but I have to say I liked my best friend's food more :') We also tried their Belgian waffle and OMG it was so good!! Definitely one of my favorite things we had. Overall, really good food, nice service, and a cute place to just relax and enjoy breakfast. Definitely worth trying if you're in Solvang!

    On the staff's recommendation at our hotel, we decided to give this brunch spot a shot, and I'm so…read moreglad we did! The check-in process was a breeze; we simply shared our party size and dining preferences. Before we knew it, we were seated in about 15 to 20 minutes. Now, let me tell you about the atmosphere. Inside, it was quite lively and a bit loud, so we opted for a charming outdoor seating area that felt much more relaxed. I couldn't help but notice how the staff, dressed in traditional Danish attire, radiated warmth and friendliness while being impressively efficient. For my meal, I went with a Danish pancake accompanied by Danish-style sausage--absolutely divine! I also swapped my eggs for hashbrowns, and wow, these have to be the best hashbrowns I've had in years. My child chose a waffle topped with fluffy whipped cream and a glass of orange juice, which she raved about, claiming it tasted like fresh-squeezed goodness. The portions were more than generous, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. All in all, it was a delightful brunch experience that I'd gladly recommend!

    Always an exceptional breakfast at Paula's. We are a large group (9) so we always have a long wait,…read moreespecially since we only go on Sunday mornings. The staff is very accommodating and gets us in as quickly as possible. It should be noted that at particularly busy times they will stop taking names for parties for an hour to an hour and a half until they get caught up. The staff members are engaging and efficient. It's difficult to recommend a specific dish because everything is good. On this particular occasion, the eggs in my eggs Benedict were over poached, but honestly out of a half dozen breakfasts, this is the only hiccup I've ever experienced. The buttermilk pancakes are very good, but if you've never tried them before, I recommend giving the Danish pancakes, a try; they're very flavorful. You can add fruit to them, typically cinnamon apples are enjoyed by my family, but you can also have them just with butter and syrup.

Sunday mornings are meant to be leisurely but this time we were in a rush. We had actually slept in until 7am, normally up by 5am without alarms. The hubs event started at 9am so we made the quick drive for a to go order, calling two blocks from the restaurant after glancing at the menu. We both decided the first item on the menu we would try; Orcut Hash, did sourdough toast and homemade biscuit We had just a couple minutes to sit and order iced tea to go. Before the server could get us our iced teas our food was ready. It's super cute inside...can't wait to come back and enjoy the sit down restaurant. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Large alcoholic choice of drinks... really wanted that spicy Mary but since we were in a rush stuck with iced tea. The only 1 minute drive back to the gun range in Santa Maria was grueling smelling that gravy... We were both were thrilled at the large portions. It was amazing! I love gravy and could have used a little bit more but honestly I think it was fine for a normal person plus remember we go to go order so I suspect it soaked up a little on the drive. The staff threw in pepper and Tapatio which the hubs loves. I had Yellow Bird Blue Agave Sriracha in my travel trailer and used a little on it. OMG! It was so good! The potatoes had a nice crunch on them. That gravy was amazing. The biscuit was great, had a bite and saved the rest for later. The hubs managed to eat his whole plate and was stuffed! I might have eaten 1/4 of mine saving it for later. We will for sure be back!

Yesterday, we ordered the steak and eggs and Danie's eggs Benny with trip tip. The steaks were cooked and seasoned very well! Today, we ordered the chicken and waffles and the Orcutt hash - wow! The waffles had such a fluffy center with the lightest crunch on the outside. The bits of pork belly and gravy meshed so well in the Orcutt hash. Our servers were so nice and made it a great experience. Definitely a staple breakfast spot!
