this place was GREAT! loved the vibrant atmosphere and the food was delicious!! they have no AC (I think) so the place was really hot.

We had a great experience at this eatery. The customer service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. There's a wide variety of menu options, making it easy for everyone to find something they'll enjoy. It's especially convenient that they're open for both breakfast and lunch, offering flexibility for any schedule. The restaurant is clean and well-maintained, with comfortable seating available both indoors and outdoors. Parking was also easy and plentiful, which is always a plus. On top of everything, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, a reliable and enjoyable spot that we'll definitely return to. read more

I absolutely love this place! I've had their breakfast, their lunch and their dinner and you cannot go wrong with anything. The chicken fried steak is amazing. Their Thursday tri-tip sandwich is full of flavor and their evening menu is top-notch! The servers are great and they get you whatever you need. They're very responsive. The ambience is nice, but not extravagant. The quality of the food makes you look past the ambience. read more

Sat for 20 mins waiting for drinks... about 10:45 to 11:08 had a kid come up to us ask us what we want to drink. 3 other people came here and got seated and drinks before anyone came to us. Never will come here again. If you want to be brushed to the side come here read more

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 read more

The Morning Stop Restaurant - Chicken fried steak! So delicious! Home fries with peppers! The gravy is so good! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lompoc, California

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+++ read more

Family recommended this new breakfast spot so decided to check it out. It was about 1:15 on a Sunday afternoon. We went up to the front of restaurant where there was a sign "please wait to be seated ", waited a few minutes before we were acknowledged. 5 minutes later one of the hostesses pointed to the table to where we were finally seated for party of 7. She could have walked us over. Waiting for our waiter to take our orders took a few minutes. they were busy but I really felt we were not given attention that I'd consider reasonable or welcoming. It took about 20 minutes to get our food. Breakfast wasn't anything spectacular and they forgot to give me bread in my order. From what my family said the burgers were good. Maybe because it was close to closing time of 2pm. With all this said, I can be ok with this first visit, however, it was extremely hot in the restaurant. There was no circulation, no AC or fans and that's why I'm giving it a 3 rating. You can't enjoy your meal if you're uncomfortably sweating and hot. read more

Found this place by accident and we were glad we did. Service was good and food was delicious.

Everything was fresh and food came quick! Have gone back way too many times and will continue to do so!

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. read more

Me and my buddy went there last week. It's a newer spot in Lompoc. I got the pork belly tacos and he got some hashbrowns and eggs and hashbrowns were cooked Perfect crispy on the outside, yummy on the inside and same with the pork belly. Pork belly had a nice crisp to it but the meat just melts in your mouth. We also had the pancake on a stick, which were delicious. The lady was super nice and the service was awesome. Definitely on my list now! read more

First impression is what usually makes a customer decide if they will come back. We came for breakfast on Sunday and the dining hall was a refrigerator. The coffee was average just like Host. But how can you be out of biscuits and gravy on a Sunday at 8am. The hash-browns I would consider subpar. Almost feel like you are eating oily linguini. The omelete and eggs were hot at least. The one plus is the staff is nice and curtious. Bon Appetite if you decide to give this place a try. read more

Eggs were undercooked, gross. French toast eggs were undercooked. Cold hash browns. Not coming back.

Please include cheese in your chilli verde omelette every omelette has a minimum of cheese and put enough on u u can tell it's cheese, use real chorizo on your dishes and real ingredients on your other dishes , taste and presentation is everything, your chilli verde omelette is way too spice for most people, if I want more spice I would add hot sauce , I really want u to succeed but use fresh ingredients and enough so u can taste them and have half and half some people don't want to use chemicals in the coffee, best of luck make the changes read more
