Almond Tree Restaurant — Restaurant in Atwater

A little stop in Atwater between Merced and Modesto off Hwy99. Across the street is Denny's. I have traveled up and down California's Central Valley and have seen the Almond Tree passing through, but today had the opportunity to try.

A more rustic view compared to restaurants like Denny's or iHOP and so it felt a little more close to Mom and Pop diner feel. The wait staff is professional, personable (if you want to chat, they listen and have a conversation if you are as friendly as well) and very attentive to your needs.

The Review..... I decided to try the "NEW" Garbage Breakfast consists of : 2 Buttery Biscuits topped with Golden Hashbrowns, then 2 eggs (any style)- scrambled, Country Gravy, with Topping Sprinkled with Thick well done Bacon and sliced Pork Sausage. Let me tell you that Country Gravy was smooth warm with a velvet consistancy. That Bacon cooked to to perfection and those Biscuits had a buttery taste. Everything else compliments the meal.

I give the Almond Tree a super official 5 Stars. Let me tell you, not only the service, the food was excellent, they honor Military and Veterans with a discount. Tha k you Almond Tree. I enjoyed dropping by for...

I went here with my sister and my brother in law. The server kept forgetting our meal. She delivered a little bit at a time. We had to keep reminding her of our food. We ordered a beer in the beginning of our meal and finally received it after our meal was over to top it off it was a frozen beer. Smh. The food itself was good. Presented nicely when we did finally receive it. The sitting area outside wasn't very appealing. Tables are old and falling apart held together with tape. You can smoke outside as your eating your meal. The exit is near by. I went on a Sunday morning, there wasn't much of a wait. You can either eat your meal outside or inside this environment be sure to wear your face mask since it is required. Prices are reasonable. Tip should be an option especially if you get poor service. Other than that my experience wasn't the best .I would rate this place a...

The first time I came here with my family it was great and they were busy and got the food out within minutes of placing our order and today there was only about 2 tables sat which were already eating and we placed a appetizer that NEVER came to us. We waited for our food for over 30 minutes and when my dad got his plate they got it wrong so they needed to remake it and the plate was nothing that took long to cook but they still took another 15. NEVER did they check in on us, NEVER did they give a reason as to why the wait took so long or even offer anything in exchange to our unpleasant visit, and much less did they get a manager to speak too. Very disappointed. I really hope this gets fixed because like i mentioned before the first time was amazing but this second time on a slow Wednesday night ?...
