We go by here occasionally when we are out or want a special breakfast in the morning. Their service is always great and the food quality and amount are consistently above average. Location is like an old style cafe with friendly servers. We'll keep coming back.

Just stopped in to get some food to go. It is 20 minutes before closing time so I just called an order in and picked it up. It was ready in like five minutes. Fairly friendly people, I love the phrase here. So yeah can't say much more lol

This is a great older location in the North Valleys. Service is great, food is mostly well executed standard breakfast fare, and fairly consistent. Is it gourmet and trendy? No. Good solid breakfast place to get your grub on? Yes. We frequent this establishment often and will continue. The "fancier" breakfast places are way over priced and have reduced the menu selections.

Seriously our favorite breakfast place in town! Everyone who works there is very friendly. The food is great! The portions are huge and the prices are very affordable. My wife had the chicken fried steak with homefries. She is very picky about how this dish is cooked by many restaurants, not a complaint from her. I had Joe's original omelet with homefries and a biscuit with gravy. The omelet was loaded, and I mean loaded with ground beef, onions, spinach, mushrooms, and cheese. The biscuit was fluffy and soft with creamy sausage gravy. The service here is oustanding and food comes out fast, even when the restaurant is crazy busy. It's definitely worth a drive out to Lemmon Valley for breakfast from anywhere in the Reno/Sparks area. Someday, we will have to try and make it here for lunch.

What a quaint little 'mom and pop' shop. I've visited this café numerous times since 2014. Each time the food has always been delicious, the wait staff has been attentive and nice. Most recently, I went Friday April 29, with my boyfriend's mother, around 9 or 10 and was seated right away. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. And while it was delicious, the Hollandaise sauce was just doused over the egg, ham and English muffin. I could barely distinguish the different flavors from each component. The Hollandaise sauce was nice and rich though, and made well. I told myself when I came back, I would order the sauce on the side. Another Kudo to the kitchen staff, my boyfriend's mother ordered a California omelette with hash browns and she asked for them crispy and burnt. They came out a beautiful shade of crispy and I was impressed with the attentiveness to their listening to her request. Sunday May 1 I went back around 1030-11am, with my boyfriend after I ran the Biggest Little 5k, and the Sunday rush gave us an estimated wait time of 20 minutes, and we probably waited 10. Kudos again to the staff for over estimating the wait time. I again ordered the Eggs Benedict and asked for the Hollandaise sauce on the side. I was able to pour my own and make sure the ratios were better. That was 10/10 an amazing decision. If you like Eggs Benedict smothered in sauce, order as is off the menu. If you want a little more control over how much sauce is allocated, order the sauce on the side. Overall, I will continue to go back and eat there, weekdays or weekends. Definitely a great little spot.
