Reviews
I came here once 6 years ago for the first time with some construction coworkers. I had a good time, I liked the “country friend steak” two egg dish I had at the time, and overall looking back I thought the experience was quite decent.
However, I didn’t realize I had reviewed this spot before, 6 years ago the first time, as a 3★ with zero details. I was quite surprised.
So here is the 2nd time experience and the edited review.
First off, we arrived at roughly 8:50 AM (10/20/2025) the ambience/atmosphere was good; the train decors were neat. We didn’t officially turn our sign over to order and finished our order until roughly 9:12 AM. (The time is important for later).
Second, I didn’t remember the food being warm-cool the first time I was here 6 years ago, but the food we were served today was not hot and fresh… it was warm-cool, almost cold one might say. I really couldn’t remember if it was always like this and I looked around the diner to see if others had steam coming off their plates as I ate from my dish.
All of our dishes: the 1 order of two eggs (scrambled) with country fried steak and hash browns, 1 order of two eggs (scrambled) with pork chop and hash browns, even the biscuits & gravy and surprisingly easy the chili bowl were warm-cool. The food was still quite tasty, but they were in fact quite room temperature. We felt the need to eat as fast as we could before the food got too cold… so by the time we finished eating around 9:40 AM, then paid and walked out, it was 9:45 AM. We felt the need to finish our plates within 15-18 minutes sometime between ordering our food by 9:12 AM and waiting until it got here (possibly some 10 min later, which is fine) to 9:40 AM.
However… last but not least, the service was great. The coffee and waters were refilled multiple times and we were checked in a few times. I wish I had gotten the nice older female’s name for the awesome service, and I reached out to share with her the matter of the dishes served warm-cool, asking her if this was normal. She was very apologetic and kind, and by no means was it her fault. We couldn’t finish the chili bowl or the biscuits gravy since it was too cold to really eat. The missus ate what she could.
I still and would like to establish that the meals were still quite tasty, it was just… not hot… and is why I checked with the nice older female waitress if this was normal here. We tipped for the awesome service.
The missus was not as enthusiastic about returning to give the spot another shot since she wasn’t too happy about the food being warm-cool. I honestly don’t remember it feeling like a 3★ restaurant; however, this is the only spot I know of where I could get ‘country fried steak’… so I hope 3rd times the charm, and hopefully not 6 years later.
My only complaint was the dining room was pretty cold and the toilet seat was icy!!! ❄️ ❄️
I’ll be back during warmer weather!
Will definitely make the drive back to Fresno for some breakfast
