Old Mill Cafe — Restaurant in Modesto

So my wife and I finally had a morning to ourselves and decided to go find a new breakfast place. We looked up local breakfast/cafés and the first place we went to was actually closed for renovation, but never said online, that’s a whole Nother story.

Our search led us to the old Mill Café on ninth Street. Walking in, the atmosphere is super cool. It really feels like an old diner and we especially loved the seats at the bar top! There are pictures of the history of downtown and of the Old Mill Café, which really added to the nostalgia. The service was phenomenal from the moment we walked in till the time we paid. The servers are extremely attentive and very friendly.

I love my omelettes so I ordered an omelette that had as many different meats as I could possibly get. My wife wanted the NY steak and eggs, but they were out of the New York steak. That led her to a more old-fashioned style breakfast with bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, and toast. I must tell you the food was great. Very tasty, cooked well, and arrived quickly. The biscuit & gravy was super yummy!

We will definitely go back so my wife can try the steak and eggs because we were told they are to die for. Definitely a must try if you haven’t been here...

Today's visit will be our last visit to our favorite breakfast stop. My husband ordered his usual breakfast without cheese. The waitress delivered it topped with cheese. It's a common issue we experience in most places we visit.... no big deal. He politely pointed it out, the waitress apologized and took it back to the kitchen. Moments later she returned with the "new" one. We commented on how fast that was since the original omelette (with cheese) took longer than the rest of our food to arrive. It all made sense when it was discovered they flipped the omelette over and re served it. The cheese was on the bottom.

It is my belief that you must have trust in the the staff at any place preparing/handling/serving your food. Trust they will respect your food allergy/sensitivity and that they are honest and sanitary. If they will do this to someone's order, I cannot imagine what other ways they are betraying that trust. No thank you. I'd give this place a hard pass no matter how "good" you ever...

I went to Old Mill Cafe today because I bought a $20.00 voucher for $12.50 from Groupon. I seen the ratings were high on Groupon for this restaurant as well as Google maps 4.4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

I went to go try it. The service is amazing. When my son and I entered in. We got a Hello. It took only a few minutes to be seated. The waitress was attentive and friendly. Come to find out she's been a waitress for 30 years and you could tell by how she took care of my Son and I. We didn't have to ask for more water she was on it.

They were busy had to wait a lil bit for food. It was ok because I ordered the Steak and Eggs w/ a biscuit and gravy. The biscuit and gravy came out quickly. All I can say this is the best biscuit and gravy I have tasted in a VERY LONG TIME. I found out that the biscuits and gravy are housemade. You definitely can notice that by the taste. Steak was good and eggs. But again I emphasize the service is amazing 💯.

We will be back again to eat some more tasty breakfast at...
