    3 scramble eggs, 2bacon slices, 2 sausage links,  1/4 Steak Ham & Home Potato's
    Francisco O.

    Went in on 3/23/26 to have breakfast with my Wife. I got myself the OMG & boy was that really an eye opening plate that I got. All of this food for what I paid was a deal that I got. When any of you come to this place for the first time like me, come hungry, super hungry. Wallet friendly, Oh Yeah as the Kool-Aid pitcher would say.

    My Nashville trip got canceled I been craving and wanting some biscuits and gravy and this place delivered and hit the spot. Amazing flavor in a hot plate just wat my stomach needed. Got the OMG plate and it was alot alot a lot of food but it was worth it definitely a bang for your buck! Thank you NORMA very attentive and she took care of us right. And the whole place is nice and clean and Great Wall decor.

    Belgian waffle

    I ordered the Waffles and chicken. The Waffles were very thick, but also very dry or overcooked. The chicken tasted sweet. Not really for me, but my spouse liked the chicken. The was very crispy, and the pieces were not the same size like they came from different types of chicken. The waitress, who took my order was very friendly. I had takeout, but it looks like the restaurant is set up family style.

    We have recently discovered that Karen's Kitchen is now open until 8:00 PM every day. Therefore, we decided to visit and I opted for the meatloaf dinner, which was excellent. Norma delivered exceptional service to us.

    Country scramble

    Big portions, big flavors- small hit on your wallet. Good breakfast experience. Your table will come equipped with hot sauces- and the coffee is fresh. Located in a outdoor mall type setting, try this little breakfast joint if staying at any of the locals hotels. Breakfast all day too if you're tired of typical dinner fare. Luckily we didn't see any "Karen's" there.

    Country Scramble with bacon (and sausage for upcharge).
    Chris C.

    This was my first visit and I mostly enjoyed it. I ordered the Country Scramble with bacon, and sausage for additional charge. The meal was good: typical "diner food," nothing special about how it was seasoned; good, but not "unique." My wife and I shared a biscuit with country gravy, my favorite part of the meal! The decor (like Karen's Kitchen 2) is very monotone: grays and blacks with bits of blue. It makes the restaurant feel dull. It's nicely painted, but...dull. The wait staff were fast, efficient, and pleasant, checking on people regularly and making sure coffees were topped off. I would have liked my water topped off, and was surprised it was never offered. Overall, decent experience. My wife and I would return again.

The food quality is spectacular! I always get the Baracoa Cubano sandwich and it never disappoints. The ingredients are fresh and organic with each dish I've ordered. Since I have allergies to ingredients used to preserve frozen food, it's always been so hard finding a restaurant with a menu that doesn't cause me issues--and Baracoa has never compromised with their ingredients! The organic quality of their food is something you'll taste on your first bite. And finally--the service is impeccable and I have yet to see such excellent hospitality at any restaurant I've visited, even in Los Angeles! The waiters are always kind, attentive, and energetic with their behavior and service. It's very easy to tell they love the work they do and it shows in their work ethic. In addition to that, the managers are always making sure we're having an excellent night and have transformed it to a level of service we've never seen! My parents and I went a week ago and talked to Daniel the Manager about how much we missed a Piña Colada from a closed restaurant which would make it in the pineapple itself--and he said if we promised to be there in a week he's make it himself. We came on Friday, and the joy that my family felt was palpable when Daniel came out with the drinks we've wished for years now since that restaurant closed! Honestly, I've never heard of someone caring for their guests so much to do that--truly everyone should visit this establishment and experience true fine dining. I don't think I'll ever eat anywhere else for a special occasion ever again.

It is all made to perfection and there is not one thing we don't love. For about $32 dollars you can get Havana Bites, it is a taste of some of their great items. It comes with Beef & Chicken Empanadas, Papas Rellenas, Platanos Fritos and Yuca Frita all served with Rico Sauce, which is so great. All of their empanadas are great and you can get just one or a bunch. We often get some to take home. The Papas Rellenas is so good and so nicely priced. It is two mashed potato balls stuffed with Cuban picadillo, then breaded and fried to perfection. I love potatoes so I love to get this. We also take these home. They heat up so well. The service is great and they are very friendly. Parking is easy and there is not usually a wait. I am not sure if they take reservations, so call them and check. The place is comfortable and pretty.

    The Morning Griddle!…read more 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!

This place is special because it feels like home when I come here. Everyone here is super kind, amazing and go above and beyond.

The menudo is the best thing here and I am not too crazy for menudo. The crepes are so flavorful. If you're not a Nutella fan even with the cream and fruit it is the best flavor. They have amazing options for each and every person. Defiantly come here if you want amazing food.
