Vic's Martinez - A Hidden Gem with Waffles to Die For If you ever have to go to court (or even if you don't!), Vic's in Martinez is the perfect spot to stop afterward. Their waffles are seriously to die for. And for those who are gluten-free--not by choice, like my sister-in-law--they have amazing "hipster toast" that she absolutely loves. I'm so grateful I got to visit during their last weekend open. It was heartbreaking to hear at the end of our meal that they're closing after Mother's Day weekend. We're crossing our fingers they'll reopen after the building remodel. If not, I've heard that The Hideout in Lafayette is owned by the same folks, so I'll definitely be giving that a try next! Thank you Thomas for all your service for today! read more

We checked in before arriving using Yelp check-in and were sat right away. It took awhile for the waitress to come by - assume we missed a big crowd. The busser was really on top of things, we observed. We ordered the bowl of oats x2, skirt steak & eggs x2, and an ube pancake. Sadly they were out of tater tots today - we love their tater tots so we were sad about that but their fries were good. The owner was going around checking on things and thanking all the tables, which was nice. We've been here often and never met her before. We love Vic's and will keep coming by whenever we get the chance. read more

Vic's has been on my "To-try" list for a long time. Ever since they opened several years ago, I have heard nothing but praises from different people, including my friend and fellow Elite David A. For his birthday this year, our friend Sarah and I decided to treat him to dinner here on 07/03/2024. Sarah and I arrived simultaneously at 5:30pm. Since the temperature was 105F, we had zero interest in sitting outside. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by the staff, and they seated us at a table near the entrance. The interior was cozy, and the vibe was a mix of coffee shop, old school tavern, and neighborhood bistro. Not sure if that's what they were going for, but it definitely worked. Once David arrived, our server came by to take our drink and appetizer order. For appetizer, we shared an order of Four Cheese Garlic Bread. If you like bread and cheese, make sure you get this. Half a dozen slices of perfectly toasted buttered ciabatta bread topped with several types of melted cheese. Very delicious. For entrée, I had the Chicken Parm Pasta, while Sarah and David had the Chopped Cobb and Pollo Provencal respectively. My dish was a good size piece of double battered chicken breast served on top of a bed of garlic pasta and spinach, topped with marinara sauce and melted cheeses. What I liked the most was when you take away the sauce, cheeses, and breading, I could really taste the chicken. I tried a piece of the Pollo Provencal and it was excellent as well. Service we received was exceptional. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Our server checked on us several times during the meal and she took care of our requests with great efficiency. Based on this experience, their high rating is well justified in my opinion. The food, service, and atmosphere are top-notch for a small neighborhood restaurant. I know Martinez is a bit far for some, but it's definitely worth a visit when and if you are in the area. 5 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - Small private parking lot on site. - Split check option available. read more

This one is for you JB~ Why are people so afraid of Chili? Yes. It's a controversial topic man... "Ahh man...I got my white T on..." "It's just like a little too messy for me for breakfast..." I can hear all the excuses in my head. But I honestly feel like the Momo is one of the most underrated dishes on Vics menu. And I will even admit I was a little guilty at first. I think when people have that first meal at a restaurant they really cherish, they are always striving to relive that experience they had the first time. Because let's be real. Not every item on the menu(Even at your favorite place) is for you). But the beauty of Vics is that you can relive that first time multiple times because their menu is that damn strong. It's not something where just a couple of the songs on the album is fire. Nah man. The whole damn album is godlike. That's what Vics menu feels like. That being said we gotta talk about Chili. Come on now. Let's not be shy about it. Unless it's some random Chili Burger, Chili Dog, or Chili Fries at some sporting event, you aren't eating chili at most a couple of times a year. I think it's safe to say that as a society, we don't really fuck with Chili. It get's a bad rep almost. "It's just too heavy/messy..." Bro. Curry exists. It's amazing. It too can stain your shirt and if it's your favorite one, I'm sure you wouldn't care if it did. It's like we all have this hidden PTSD from like that ONE time you had chili and it just didn't deliver. Well let me be the one to say that you won't be let down if you order the Momo. Have you ever been to Momoland? No? That's ok. Let me take you there. First off taters. Yeaaa man. Tater TOTS. And the best part, is that they are still somewhat crunchy and solid underneath all the melted cheese and chili. The Chili itself is amazing. I'm actually not sure if it's the chili itself or if it's just everything as a collective that makes me unable to put my fork down. Fresh tomatoes definitely help. I mean when you're having something heavy in a dish like this, it's always nice to have an ingredient that eases the heaviness of everything. The Red onions are nice too. Along with the tomatoes they add a touch of natural sweetness to the overall dish. It's funny how two simple ingredients do much for the overall meal itself. But finally, you have fresh avocado and two over easy eggs on top. Avocado is just another ingredient to balance out the ruggedness of the chili. And plus let's be real, we all still love our Avocado. I think with the egg you gotta do the over easy though. If you are trying to be optimal that is. If that's not your jam, then you can definitely get the eggs more cooked. The Momo will still knock your socks off. It doesn't matter what kind of Egg connoisseur you are. The dish will be amazing regardless. I just think the golden yolk cascading into the melted cheese and addictive chili is chef's kiss. ORDER THE MOMO. ORDER IT!!!! It's a chili dish that's done right. I feel some people might of thought it's a dish that a stoner thought up or something. No man. This dish is the truth. You should "definitely" try it. Let's get over this chili PTSD together. I'ma be your therapist. Ya know, some people go to church. Some people meditate. Some people do cards. As for myself? I eat The Momo to transcend my humanity and get right with my soul. read more

Friday evening my mother, baby boy, and I enjoyed a beautiful evening on the patio of Vic's in Martinez. The patio was nice and spacious that we could easily fit my son's stroller. They have space heaters for when it gets a bit cooler. We started with the brussel sprouts. They were plentiful and delicious. They were prepared with browned butter, bacon, sage, shallots, caramelized apple, chili, and a balsamic glaze. The apple really made it! For entrees I had the shrimp and grits which is loaded with large pieces of shrimp and smoked sausage. My mom had the seasonal pollo Provencal and swapped out the polenta for mashed potatoes. Another large portion and great flavors. We had a lovely time and love this local gem! read more

Cute restaurant in what looks like a residential area of Martinez. The wait for the weekend brunch was around 40 minutes. The tip is to join the waitlist on Yelp ahead of arriving. There is some street parking and a small parking lot. For dine-in walk around the back to the patio to the hostess stand. The inside seating was a little warm. No fans circulating. They have a large patio. The interior is very cozy with pillows and some tables have half bench seating. While you wait to be seated they have cornhole outside. It looks like some people ordered drinks for while they waited for a table. Service was kind and quick. They were good with communication when the soda machine was down. There is a carafe of water at each table. We ordered the morning glory, ube hotcakes, and the margarita. The portions were pretty large. I left full and with half of my sandwich in a box. It's a little pricy for brunch. The average is $25 per person. read more

I really wanted to like this place given all the good reviews. I have to say it wasn't all bad, it was a friendly inviting environment. The open patio space is nice and people Seemed to be enjoying themselves. I think one of the owners was out greeting people and ensuring that they were satisfied. That was nice to see. As for the food, most of it was prepackaged food that we think came from Sam's Club. We got the Kale and Bacon salad which was the exact salad out of a package that was dressed up with fresh fruits and shaved parm that you'd get from Sam's Club. I also got the Loco Moco. The party was a frozen reheated patty on top of a bed of instant rice. The gravy was very watery and I would be ashamed to call it gravy. It was more like a consume soup that made the rice into a congee type of consistency. The food didn't taste bad but for the price paid I just wanted to ensure it was transparent to people what they were getting. I see other reviews referring to the same salad kit used for their salads. It's really sad because I know that this is a family business and I'd like to continue to support them. I just think that the cutting corners using prepackaged food is not what we expected. I wish this family business the best. read more

Came here for lunch and it was worth the 40 minute drive. There is street parking and a small parking lot. Keeping this in mind it's not a lot of parking but thankfully was not crowded. The hostess stand is by the parking lot. We were sat immediately and our server was great. We sat on the patio under the gazebo. It was pretty outside so it was good. As of yesterday there are pre mixed drinks. My friend bought the burger and added an egg and bacon. I had the honey hot chicken sandwich. We BOTH devoured our food. The fries are seasoned fries and were seasoned to perfection! I'm not a big Cole slaw fan but it went well on the sandwich. I highly recommend coming back here! read more

Fantastic!!! So, so, so impressed. About 4 of us stopped by during lunch, and one of my friends located this spot. Very thankful she located it. This place is quaint and has very very friendly service. The two ladies who helped us were quick and tentative. We ordered the honey chicken, breakfast burrito, churro waffles, and a couple of cold coffees. We actually ordered by way of "scan the QR code" which is located on the table. At first I thought this would be an issue, BUT, I was wrong. It went well, and all of us walked away very pleased with our choices. read more

My fiancé and I came in as they first opened to be surprised by how deserted it seemed except for the sole worker. She greeted us and informed us to sit where ever we'd like and that there is a QRcode for the menu. We did not expect or realize that it's now a self service/self order place. Which is why the original staff that was always friendly and helpful were all missing. After working the online menu and finally getting our food order, our coffee came out in paper cups and was also told to at if we wanted more to just grab some from the counter. After finally realizing it's a self service restaurant, our food came out in lunch trays and plastic containers. I told my partner that I feel like I'm in prison being served my food in plastic containers and lunch trays and plastic silverware. I get it, I have been served with these trays before, but the presentation was phenomenal that I even did I wanted these for parties at home. I've seen restaurants do a rebranding, but just saying that the lack of service definitely did not make this new environment very inviting, almost made it seem like it was not an upgrade but a downgrade from a shell of what it was before. Not sure if it's new management or ownership, but I can definitely feel it and it's very obvious. I noticed some people who came who were also confused and after spending over 20mins trying to figure out how to order, asked for a printed menu. After sitting again, they looked at each other and decided to walk away. I'm highly disappointed really and I don't think I'll be back. Omelet was decent and it he chicken fried steak was extremely dry and tasted just like flour even with the gravy. read more

Vic's is truly a hidden gem located in the quant town of Martinez, just half a mile from the Superior Court. They have both outdoor and indoor seating, and heat lamps/fire pits for cooler temps. The wait was short given we were a party of 12, and we had to wait for our full party to arrive in order to be seated. The waitress was timely and very helpful. She didn't even mind the rambunctious children at our table, lol. All of the dishes arrived super quick, I mean within 15 minutes. Can't wait to return! read more

Vic's a gem! Family owned restaurant that really knows how to cook! We made a reservation and were seated quickly as they close at 2 different times so make sure to check their hours. This inside is small but family like with benches and chairs with lots of window lighting. When we ordered, they informed us that they were out of certain sodas and menu items. That only informed us that they had many customers earlier. I ordered the fish and chips but subbed for tater tots. It was amazing as you get 3 pieces of fish battered to perfection and the sauces are amazing! My friends ordered different versions of the chicken sandwiches and loved their orders. I wish they were not out of the chicken fried steak as that seemed to be really popular. Other than that, we will definitely be back earlier and order everything on the menu. read more

I came here with my boyfriend close to a year ago and was impressed with the food, ambiance and service. Yesterday, I took my bf's mom here because I thought it would be just as good but was so disappointed. Embarrassed, even, to say we loved this place earlier. Similar to the other recent reviews, I was surprised to see that the food came in takeout containers, water was self serve, and you order using a QR code. The food quality for lunch has gone significantly downhill. My salad seemed like it was dumped right out of a Taylor Farms salad kit (an old one, at that), and the 'pancetta' was clearly bacon. The turkey in the Turkey BLT also seemed like it was cut right off of a leftover, processed roast turkey (kind of like a thick slice of bologna, see pic). So, so sad and disappointed that this hidden gem of a place has now gone downhill. read more

Came on a Saturday morning for brunch with the family and our pup. Called ahead and they said they are dog friendly on the patio. Pretty busy but that was standard at noon on a weekend. Didn't have to wait too long. We ordered mimosas with Guava juice, Loco Moco, fries, and the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict with county potatoes. Service was great and the music was 10/10. read more

I used to love this place, unfortunately we had a completely different experience this time. Upon arrival the waitress told us that they changed things and she would bring a QR code and we can see the menu and order with that. We ordered but was surprised to see that we had to pay and tip at that time. When the drinks arrived they were in disposable cups, later the food arrived also in to go containers that were just missing a lid and plastic utensils. Besides bringing the food no one came to check on us a single time. read more

A long awaited review i'm just now getting to. Vic's! It's a little cute homey cozy area tucked away in a neighborhood in martinez: I've been here once and make it my duty to bring my friends who aren't from the area each time :). Every time our servers are super attentive and are legit the sweetest. I've been checked in most recently by maybe one of the owners? She was such a sweet heart. Now for the food!! Oh my god i've never been let down, all my friends i've brought here love it and end up bringing their partners or other friends right after. I've never been let down by the food and they've been super accommodating with some allergies that we've brought up. I'm excited everytime i come to vic's :) read more

Delicious brunch spot in Martinez! What I love about Vic's is that no matter what you order, it will always taste good. This restaurant has its own parking lot but it gets packed fast. I usually find parking in the nearby streets. The staff is friendly and if you come early or make a reservation, the wait won't be too bad. The sitting is mostly outdoors in their heated patio. I've been here during various seasons and sitting outside is comfortable enough. Now for the food, for brunch my daughter and I love their Avocado Hipster Toast! It is very fresh, and tasty. There is something unique and different than other places. It is also very big! Good enough for two people. It is the perfect bite each time. The Breakfast Burrito is pretty good as well. Ube Pancakes are unique and not too sweet. For lunch, I love the Steak Salad here. One of the best steak salad I've had. It comes with many different vegetables and the vinaigrette that it comes with, makes it very well balanced. There are many breakfast/brunch spots in the area but Vic's is one of those that no matter how often you go, you won't be disappointed! read more

What a terrific discovery to find this not-so-hidden gem in Martinez! I've always been a regular at their sister restaurant in Lafayette named The Hideout since its inception in 2015, but since the pandemic, I've been seeing myself venture out here more often for either a weekend brunch, or a weeknight dinner to indulge in their hearty & comfort fare of delectable dishes, and a vast array of seasonal items of California cuisine that's sure to satisfy your palate! As we stroll down memory lane, chef-partner JB Balingit struck gold in his family's first endeavor at Lafayette's cozy The Hideout Kitchen & Café. So when the group -- Balingit, his wife Astrid, her sister Rose and Rose's husband, Lourin -- set out to open a new restaurant in Martinez back in early 2019, the plan stayed much the same: Simply provide a comfortable environment, good comfort food, at a cozy & home-y establishment - and voilá! You've got Vic's (named after their grandfather), which is a small, but family-oriented restaurant atmosphere that you can't get elsewhere! Don't get me wrong - I love BOTH Hideout & Vic's, but there's just one little quaint thing about the intimate & laidback vibe at the latter, being a destination that you must get to, as it is somewhat of a quite a drive from the I-680 corridor, as you head to Martinez via Pacheco Boulevard. This location used to be occupied by Cuff & Collar and Boscoz Burgers, and Vic's has been a popular dining scene for Martinez, as ithe vibe seems busy but relaxed. The small dining room is a ballet of activity when things get going. The style is almost living room-ish -- lots of hardwood everywhere, a sizable area rug, comfortable chairs and simple curtains. There's a small counter, a large group table, and a shaded patio dining area. There's also tv screens inside the dining room, for those not wanting to miss out on sporting events! As for the FOOD, you know that you're a regular the Hideout if you see the similar items that they offer! From the first few times I've dined in, I was a huge fan of their Breakfast Burritos for BRUNCH, and their Fish & Fries and Brussels Sprouts for DINNER - 'til they made a huge game-changer & served up seasonal silogs (you got me at their Corned Beef & Pulled Pork), ube pancakes, and my all-time favorite Fall/Winter menu item that's to die for - Chicken Pot Pie! OMG!!! I usually just order water as my go-to beverage, but I find myself getting their Guava Dreams that just goes well with almost anything in their menu! I also got a Hot Toddy at my recent visit, and I think I now know which drink to get during the cold szn, HAHA! Applause, applause & much Kudos to ya'll at Vic's! If you LOVE dining at the Hideout in Lafayette (don't forget that they're moving into the old Cooperage location off Lafayette Circle later this 2024!), you're definitely IN for a TREAT to dine & indulge the greatness of their exemplary comfort cuisine, along with a remarkable service rendered by their wait staff! Brunch is served on weekends, and there's lunch and dinner service during the weekdays/nights! There isn't much to complain, but do take note that they have a small parking lot, and it may be a challenge to snag a parking spot along the surrounding streets - but don't let that deter you from taking a trek out to this side of the East Bay! Don't say I didn't warn ya! read more

This was the spot for a lunch date outing. I haven't been here in a while and definitely was not disappointed as I had remembered. We both ordered the Chicken Parmesan panini. Wasn't so much pressed like a panini but over all was pretty great and presentation was great. (Excuse my pic of the sandwich, as it comes out much better looking but I was ready to eat. HA!) All the flavors were amazing. Also ordered the ice tea. Was very refreshing and had a slight honey taste to it, so adding any sweetener was definitely not needed. Great spot for breakfast, brunch, lunch, you name it. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Though I did miss the churro waffles being there. (Insert cry emoji here lol) read more

My family and I came here for brunch. I saw all of the great reviews on Yelp and wanted to come and try their ube pancakes. We ordered different dishes and shared it with each other. The portions are good and definitely shareable. We ordered the corned beef hash, ube pancakes, burger and kids breakfast with waffle. Everything was delicious. The staff were very attentive despite how busy they were. The outdoor area was very pretty and they have heaters as well when it gets cold. We opted to eat inside since it was really breezy and cold the day we came. read more

Vic's once again has satisfied my taste buds. I'm glad they added new things to the menu. Ube pancakes are once killing the breakfast trend. Silogs is another dish of Filipino breakfast. I recommend to try when you can! It's delicious :) My service was great. Was here with my family for the last weekend and presentation wise was presentable. Do make reservations because it can get crowded on weekends. Weekdays look calm but do make one incase. Will be coming back for more! read more

Another amazing brunch at Vic's. Went with some new menu items and were not disappointed. The brisket and biscuit was like a country style Benedict with gravy and poached eggs over tender brisket and biscuits. The Loco Moco was heavenly. The gravy was perfect for me without huge chunks of mushrooms and the hamburger patty was seasoned perfectly. The addition of pickled onions was genius as it gives you that little bit of color plus the added acid to break up the rich flavors. read more

I've been to Vic's multiple times over the past few years. Their food is consistently yummy! The menu has a nice variety of classics and originals. I also love seeing that they added some silogs on their menu! Today, I had the Country Fried Steak & Eggs w/ tater tots and a biscuit while my partner had the Biscuit & Brisket. We both really enjoyed our food! Their brisket was tender and flavorful, and when mixed with their biscuit and gravy, it really hit the spot. The country fried steak was well seasoned and the gravy really completed the meal. As for the sides, I've always loved their tater tots as they remind me of McDonald's hash browns, which are one of my favorite foods LOL I highly recommend! Every time I've come to eat at Vic's the servers are always soo kind and welcoming. Not to mention, the whole restaurant is decorated nicely, especially the outside seating area. Both the service and restaurant decor make for an amazing atmosphere to eat in. And the delicious food makes for a great brunch experience! The only downside I have are the portion sizes as they are on the smaller side. I feel as though portion sizes decreased since I last came here. That does not take away from the quality of the food and restaurant as a whole! To me, Vic's is a solid brunch spot, and I would definitely come again read more

I trusted the good reviews and ordered breakfast for delivery. The country potatoes were oil-flavored, just oil, I didn't detect anything else like maybe onions, seasonings, etc. Nope. Big chunks of oil-flavored potatoes. The biscuit was dried up, like it was left out overnight or maybe several nights in a row. The over-medium eggs were over-medium, so I guess that was okay. On the menu, the Kids Ziti & Cheese shows a photo of a creamy, cheesy bowl of noodles and is described as: three-cheese blend, butter, cream. All I tasted was oil, like with the potatoes -- oil -- w/ a few clumps of cheese here and there. The cheese wasn't blended into the "oil," or whatever it was -- it certainly didn't taste like butter and cream; it looked NOTHING like the photo on the menu. It was the grossest "mac and cheese" I've ever tasted. Big fail. Never again for this place. read more

Overall a great spot for brunch. Lots of seating but fills up quickly on the weekend. Service was quick and friendly. The spin on chicken and waffles was fun with the gravy. Not pictured pancake for the table that was delicious. Will be coming back read more

Join the Waitlist via Yelp to avoid a longer wait! My fiancé and I were in the area after checking out potential wedding venues and met up with his sister for brunch and she recommended this place. I was intrigued after looking at the photos on Yelp. I mean, what is better than ube and Filipino flavors? Weekends seem relatively packed both for outdoor and indoor seating. They have a small parking lot available and it's a dead end and the rest is on the streets. I'd suggest sitting outdoors if the weather is nice enough. On our visit, we opted for indoor seating because it didn't seem warm enough outside, but the inside is small with a low ceiling and it was just very loud inside. Service was nice and checked in on us regularly. Their seasonal silog was a short rib one so I opted to get that and it was good. The meat was tender and the rice and egg were well seasoned. Overall, it was a satisfactory meal. On another visit, I ordered their ube churros (didn't see it on the menu) and they were okay, but not big on ube flavor (in my opinion) so I'll probably skip next time. read more

We've been wanting to try this place in Martinez and we finally had lunch on a weekday. You'll be driving in a residential neighborhood until you see their place on a corner street. They've limited parking at the back of their establishment and you'll have to park on the streets. They have a huge gazebo for outdoor dining and limited tables inside. On a warm day, it'll be nice to eat outdoors. Service was very good and our orders came within a few minutes. I had their smoked brisket panini. It had a sliced brisket with greenhouse tomato, grilled red onion, greens, garlic and lemon aioli, and melted havarti. This panini has the right meat and garnish that it tastes good. They gave us a big portion and we also had a side of potato fries. I heard they also serve a good breakfast. I will come back here again and try their breakfast menu. read more

Awesome restaurant in Martinez! I'm a big fan of the owner's other restaurant in Lafayette, The Hideout Kitchen, so I was excited to try Vic's for the first time. Vic's is the perfect brunch spot. There's indoor and outdoor seating available. We were a group of four and were seated inside with only a short wait. They have a Filipino American menu so there are a lot of yummy options available. I ordered the Corned Beef Silog which was delicious! It was huge chunks of corned beef served with rice and an egg. The portion size was enough for me to have leftovers the next day. I had my food with a guava mimosa which was also nice and sweet. Great spot! I'll be sure to come back again soon to support! read more

Decided to switch thing up and venture out in Martinez for the day! No one ever suggests Martinez for brunch, so my partner and I decided to search for a spot after a walk around the farmers market. We were seated right away at a quaint two person table on the patio. The music was slappin! 2000's R&B hits, definitely my type of vibe. They don't have bottomless mimosas, so we opted for a bottle of Prosecco. My partner ordered the waffle sandwich and I ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were amazing!! Great portions, jam packed with flavor, just yummy! I'm surprised it isn't busier! This is a, if you know you know spot kind of spot. Well, now you know!

I got mixed emotions about this place :/ I went for breakfast! They offer gluten free & vegan options. Customer service was good but not like above & beyond :) the food was great! The restaurant is very aesthetic, indoor & outdoor seating. The parking lot is small. It was hard to tell where to check in , I went to the front door , but the check in was in the back by the parking. The prices were average to any brunch place, & they seem to have a lot of clients. read more

Intro: Vic's was highly recommended to me by a friend and I mostly enjoyed the experience because their company made my morning memorable while they enjoyed their meal. Food: If you like a traditional eggs Benedict try this one. Vic's Bloody Mary mix is made fresh daily. *Note; their mix may be potentially too spicy for someone. Affordability: Our bill was quite high for a party of 3. I recommend to those of you looking for a good cheap meal to skip this place because these waitresses and staff are very outgoing and should never receive anything less than a decent 20% tip. Customer Service: The customer service was as expected for a busy weekend. Ambiance: The outside seating was hot by 10am in the summer time even though we were shaded. Parking : Their parking lot is small so you may have to hope for someone to leave just as you arrive or drive around the block to look for street parking. Final note: I can say that many of us are likely to prepare just as good of a breakfast for less money at home but if you're trying to save on messing up your kitchen while having company over, get out to Vic's and enjoy their brunch! I do recommend going here to try but only while you are in the area since the parking lot will always be packed on weekends! read more

Nice spot, away from downtown. However, watch out for being overcharged due to some ridiculous inflation. Excuse for the price of eggs going up. Your bill will be a few dollars more without a warning. I. Very pleasant atmosphere at the back patio. Has a few fire pits to relax by. Has some menu selection of the healthy choices to pick from. Fresh and interesting side salads to accompany the Harvest Scramble that on the menu was $16.50 and charged $18.50. Prices are a bit on the higher side. Pleasant service was provided by a gentleman running the entire patio, unlike host and waitresses were slightly away. Good place to give it a try - once. read more

Vic's is a family owned and operated restaurant located in Martinez, a few blocks away from downtown Martinez. Really enjoyed the ambience when my husband and I stopped in for breakfast on a Wednesday morning. We decided on the Corned Beef Hash ($23.50) chopped corned beef brisket, sliced mushrooms, peppers, onions and herbs with 2 eggs any style (poached), your choice of side (ordered homestyle potatoes) and your choice of toast. Also ordered the Breakfast Burrito ($16.95) 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, diced breakfast potatoes, avocado, yogurt creme fraiche, and choice of side. Also ordered a single ube hotcake ($4) with ube sauce ($4.50) to try. The corned beef hash while beautifully presented, was a little underwhelming as the brisket was dry and missing that briny tanginess corned beef usually has. The breakfast burrito was delicious, I enjoyed the yogurt creme fraiche in combination with the eggs, bacon, potato and avocado. The ube pancake and ube sauce was also disappointing and the pancake was tough and the ube sauce was bland and not at all sweet. Will have to try other breakfast options next time. Service was super friendly and efficient and the restaurant had a warm homey feel. Will come back sometime for lunch/dinner! read more

One of my favorite places to go to when in Martinez. Food is delicious. Nothing to complain about. Portions are generous so make sure you have a room. The menu has some thing for everyone. there is both indoor and outdoor seating. The vibe is urban rustic if that's a thing, super cute. The staff is awesome. They have a small parking lot and street parking. We had: Chicken fried steak: 5/5 Cornbeef hash: 4/5 Chorizo tacos: 5/5 Ube pancakes: 3.5/5 Its a YES! read more

Had a reservation through Yelp for 2 tonight at 6:30. Confirmed through Yelp. Got to restaurant at 6:25. CLOSED. Didn't get out of car to see if there was any signage as to why. Google says open. No cars in parking lot and no lights on inside. Very odd. We do like to eat here so we're quite disappointed. read more

So this is really a 3.5 star review. It had the potential to be completely amazing but missed the mark in some minor ways. Here's my pros: - Staff was friendly - Portions are huge - Prices are decent - Ambiance is cozy and funky designs - Love the Filipino fusion Cons: - Long wait times unless you come SUPER early - Tiny place so that contributes to the wait - When I went, it appeared they were understaffed so our waitress wasn't the most attentive - Strange citrus flavor in my hollandaise sauce. Traditionally its lemon but they used orange? I think Ill try this place one more time and see if they can win me over.... read more
