Sukie's Country Kitchen — Restaurant in San Pablo

I'm always going to be delighted when I go to Sukie's. It's a magical place to me because it feels like a real diner with a real authentic vibe instead of just diner decor. The big thing that makes Sukie's stand out is the food. Not every dish is glamorous, not at all, but you can get comfortable learning what you like.

For me, the Sukie's Corned Beef Hash is the big winner. You can ask for it crispier which in my opinion is a big improvement. Fatty, thick chunks of corned beef decorate a plate of home fries with bell pepper and onion. Really divine!

I liked the Portuguese skillet as well with the linguiça. The coffee is always coming and it is pretty good (darker roast than I usually use but I put plenty of cream in mine). You can always ask for sides and additions and the staff has always been friendly and attentive.

I love the place! It's a bit far from us or we would go there all the time. The price might be a little high for the area but at the same time this is a "you get what you pay for" situation and I do think there is a sort of luxury in sitting in a diner eating food of this quality while coffee is endlessly refilled for you.

Strongly recommend Sukie's as it's a bastion in a metropolitan area where diner style restaurants...

Good: Good mom and pop restaurant in ages serving breakfast and lunch. My personal favorite is the Chicken Fajita Omelette.

Bad (Update 5/23/2021): When it comes to ordering by phone for a (1) Ranch Skillet with hashbrowns together instead of country potatoes and two (2) Chicken Fajita Omelettes, I get one Chicken Fajita Omelette and a full order of a Ranch Skillet in separate trays. This caused further delays from everyone else who made phone orders after me. Please find someone who is great at receiving orders by phone. This is the second time when Ranch Skillet order has gone wrong. Missing a second order of Chicken Fajita Omelette? Yes. Manager did give me a discount, but that didn't improve from mistakes prior. I almost walked out with nothing. Until then, not sure about going back unless I see a reviews phone orders are on par. I don't care how long it took to get the order. The bottom line is the order came wrong. Please do be clear when making phone orders. You guys might have better luck than...

I have never tried shrimp and grits before. I will admit, that I was a little hesitant, When it came to ordering that particular menu item, so I asked the waitress, do you guys sell a lot of shrimp and grits, and she said it was a fairly new item on the menu, been on the menu for about a month, and that it has been very popular, with thier customers. So I decided to give it a try... Oh you have no idea, just how good that food was! That was probably the best restaurant food, I have eaten at a restaurant, in years! I'm telling you, thee best food ever! I highly suggest that dish, to anyone, especially to people who say they do not eat grits, oh my gosh, please take my word for it, and give the Shrimp and Grits a try. Very tasty and absolutely delicious 😋 I have tried other things on the menu over the years, and everything is delicious, but that shrimp and grits, was some of the best food I have ever eaten. Great...
