Firehouse Café — Restaurant in Diamond Springs

Edit: In response to the owner. Thanks for the response.

It was a week day (our daughter was at school). The place was about half full. It definitely happened. And the details are accurate. I do not embellish or exaggerate - always strive to be fair and honest with reviews. ——————- We had been here at least a few times before and enjoyed the place overall, but on this occasion (couple months ago) we ended up leaving.

Brian and his wife do an amazing job of running the Firehouse Cafe. The food is great, the service is incredible and the place has all the feel of a classic small town diner. I have been getting the country fried steak and eggs anywhere that has it on the menu the last year or so. Without hesitation I'll call the Firehouse Cafe's superior to every other restaurant that I've been in offering it.
