The Red Caboose Café — Restaurant in California

I’VE NEVER BEEN TREATED THE WAY THAT I WAS TODAY. A couple of my girlfriends and I went this morning around 10:30 to eat of course and catch up, we were taking our time as one does when they go out to a restaurant and we were approached by the owner and he asked if we needed anything, we replied “no thank you” he came for a second time and my friend jokingly replied “we promise we’ll get out of your hair soon” he responded “ok good because I have customers waiting for a table.” I was in disbelief when he said that and we realized that he was not joking, he was actually serious, the waitress reassured us that we could stay as long as we wanted since we are paying customers, mind you it had only been about an hour that we were there. We carried on with our conversation and the owners wife asked if we needed anything else and I said “no we’re good, just talking” and she said “well we have other customers waiting” I said “We’re paying customers and we’re going to sit and talk a little longer.” When we were paying the bill my friend approached the owner and told her to go talk to his wife, she then had a conversation with the wife and expressed how disappointed she was with the service and the wife did not care and said we were there for 2 hours and that was too long. As this woman is saying this to my friend I am looking around and there are no customers at the door waiting for a table and I see a couple of empty tables. I can’t help but to feel and know that I just experienced racial profiling. We are 3 Hispanic women that were being watched and timed and I am so sad to say that I’m not surprised or in shock. This is the world we live in but I refuse to just keep quiet. It is such a disgrace to know that I was financially contributing to that disgusting place. I will never go...

Pros: Fans were on and it was air conditioned. They turned on the train overhead and my 2 year old loved it. The waitress was very friendly.

Cons: Disgusting dirty stained carpet floors. Dusty walls and decor. Terrible fluorescent lights. Ceiling falling apart. The vacuum, broom, mop, and cleaning materials were out and 3 feet away from our table. They got my 2 year olds order entirely incorrect, they brought her Mac n cheese which was literally from the box and not homemade, it was also dry and cold. I ordered fish tacos which was a mistake. Cold, sloppy, and stacked in a way where you couldn’t pick the tacos up. Avocados were brown and mushy. You could hear the microwave going off and dinging non stop which is a big no no for restaurants. Also there were flies everywhere and I almost vomited at our table and couldn’t finish my already disgusting meal. Extremely overpriced. It was 50 dollars for 2 adults and a 2 year old. It was an overall hellish and nauseating experience and I am NOT the kind of person to leave these remarks but something needs to be done. I am sitting at home with a stomach ache just waiting for the food poisoning to start. I deeply apologize for this review but that was the most disgusting establishments I have ever been in. My wife and I were joking about how this place would be perfect for kitchen nightmares. It needs to total revamp.

If they just put in hardwood floors, changed the lighting and simplified the menu to only serve breakfast and burgers, I bet it would be a lot more successful. Maybe the breakfast is better but I cannot ever return here and I will never recommend to others. I’m sorry :/...

My boyfriend and I had breakfast here. The wait was short to be seated, maybe about 10min. They have outdoor dining under tents which was nice. Service was quick & they checked on us often. He had the country fried steak with hashbrowns & biscuits/gravy on the side; he liked it but felt like the gravy was missing something. He said it was a bit bland for his liking. I had a bacon & cheddar omelet with hashbrowns (with more cheddar! Lol) & a chocolate chip pancake on the side; wow, that was a ton of cheese! It's perfect for me but you should know they do put a lot! The pancake was also delicious & packs lots of chocolate! You should know that also just in case you'd like less of that.. overall, good breakfast. Reasonable prices & good portions. All of our food/ drinks pictured...
