Eel River Cafe — Restaurant in Fortuna

With the exception of 2 others, I understand why the restaurant was empty of customers Mediocre food, definitely mostly Sysco ingredients mixed with some fresh ingredients put together in small podtions. Selected scramble, they ran out of biscuits and gravy iwhich they were willing to substitute rye toast...served only one slice with pretty skimpy proportions, they did credit $2.50. it was equal to the portions you'd get when ordering from a seniors or child's menu. ..which they do not offer. My grandaughter wanted waffles...not available, so the french toast combo was suggested by the waitress...which they proceeded to alacat everything $7.25 for 2 pieces of french toast, additional charges for order a short number of french toast slices, one sliced strawberry, two dollops of whipped cream, two eggs, hash browns, two slices of bacon they charged alacart prices for every thing...$7.24 for french toast, additinal charges: $1.00 short french order, $1.00 for one sliced strawberry, $1.00 for two whipped cream on top, $4.75 for two eggs and two pieces of bacon, $4.25 for hashbrowns ....for a grand total of $19.25.

I took the Garberville exit and found a great little cafe called the Eel River Cafe. And this little joint has got character, it is smaller with maybe 6 booths and of course a counter bar which is where I sat. And of course it has a theme, dairy cows and classic coke hot wheels cars still in their original packaging. I was greeted pleasantly by my server as I sat down, and ordered a coffee and noticed this place full of locals which generally means the food is going to be good.
