Tommie's Castaic Cafe — Restaurant in California

Came here after a long weekend for some breakfast. We were sat down, our orders taken and then were promptly forgotten about. 2 other sets of diners came in, ordered, got their food and paid before we even got ours.

Servers may have been stressed I get that it can be stressful but they didn't bother to check in with us and walked by our table multiple times while serving other guests and putting out their food.

By the time I got my Local Favorite omelette the cheese was placed on top, still cold and in slices, they couldn't even have been bothered to put the cheese into the omelette. The hash browns were still wet and not brown at all. The chicken was cooked well but with everything else made the meal very meh. Got a cold English muffin to boot. Server was nice enough to bring out a warm English muffin, but that didn't really do much with the very mediocre food. My wife's meal was meh too, waffles weren't fluffy and we're quite thin.

If the service was good could have possibly let the other issues slide, but come on, seat your patrons and check in on them! If you're dishing out other food of people that have been seated after others, should make you think something is wrong.

Really can't recommend this place. Try somewhere else or even hit the food trucks that are outside lining the street. At least you'll get your...

I had breakfast here and thought it was fantastic, so I came back the next day for lunch. The take out lunch was not so good. I ordered a patty melt w/fries and a cup of chilli. Maybe I’m guilty of not understanding good of another culture…but the chilli I received looked, smelled, and tasted like they had just scooped some sludge out of their grease trap and put onions and cheese on top! I’m used to chilli being a hearty, spicy stew. Perhaps that’s just not the way they serve it here, but regardless, I won’t take my chances again. It’s too bad, because the waitstaff are great here and the rustic feel of the dining area is nice, and it sure beats anything at the truckstop because it’s prepared fresh. I will include a photo of the chilli sludge and let you decide...

During a drive to SoCal we happened to stop for a meal in Castaic. We found Tommy's quite by accident. It has a tiny driveway to the parking in the back of the building. You could miss it very easily.

Once seated we noticed that there was only one server and lots of full tables. We were resigned to the fact that things might be slow. The server was polite and apologetic. We ordered and things progressed quickly.

I had ordered a hamburger steak and eggs. Meat was well cooked but just a tad salty. Three over easy eggs and hash browns completed the meal. All in all a very delicious meal.

The wife had a tiny breakfast consisting of one egg, two bacon and English muffin. The egg was just this side of runny but otherwise a good plate of food.

We will return if we are...
