Creekside Diner — Restaurant in California

For the love of diners.

I've mentioned before that one of my affinities are those good ol' fashioned diners, especially the ones you find in small towns, a bit worn around the edges and "if-the-walls-could-talk" kinda joints.

...and serving none of those pretentious plant-based milks of oat, almond, or soy in their specialty coffees with smoked rosemary or other fresh herbs for aromatic flair and garnished with high falutin junk just to appear trendy, self-important, superior, or sophisticated, often in a way that seems exaggerated and pompous. Gag me with a spoon as they used to say. (End of rant. 🤣)

Pardon my digression. I stopped by to see a close buddy and he treated me to a classic breakfast, just the way I like it. Simple. No avocado, mango or quince crap added, just eggs, bacon, hash browns and sourdough toast basted with butter. Not even a sprig of anything green. End of story.

There, I said the silent part out loud for...

Super disappointed, especially considering all the good reviews! The service was bad and the food was just OK. Some of our food was incorrect, but no one ever came to check on us during the whole meal so we couldn’t say anything. Our check was dropped off as soon as we got our food, but they didn’t even bother to stop, he dropped it off while walking to another table. I had to track someone down to just get a refill of coffee. The girl at the register was very sweet. I told her it wasn’t a huge deal that some of our order was wrong, since we ate the rest of the food anyway, but I just wanted to let them know. However, she insisted on double checking that we weren’t charged for it. I love family owned and small businesses, so I’m hoping it was just an off morning for them, but I’m not sure if I’ll be...

Very well-respected establishment service was great food was even better the chef prepared our meals in adequate time and efficiency I would highly recommend this place I give them a four-star out of five, but it really is a 5 star 🌟menu as soon I as we walk in they greet us and make you feel welcomed did not rush us in ordering are meals that's key in the bizz of food service unless it's bizzy and yes order quickly. I love the pork chops & Eggs I don't say anything I don't mean wen it comes about food I know quality food as I was a chef for 30 years of my life and every restaurant that uses sysco food is really good and right up there in the 4 to5 star ranges thank you once again for a awesome meal. I I will be back, and I would drive from Woodland Ca to eat here...
