Latif's By Pedretti — Restaurant in Turlock

This place looks very nice. Plenty of room for everyone. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Here is the reasons we give it only 2 stars. Not trying to be rude just keeping it real. I dined in with two other adults. For one I thought the menu was way too pricey. We sure didn't think when we left there my brother in-law who treated myself and my sister who is his wife. We didn't think he would be leaving short of the 100 dollar bill he had. This breakfast for three costs 80 something plus of course the waitress well deserved a good tip. My order was 13$ on the menu yet the ticket read 14$. My sister and brother-in-law had steak and eggs and linguisa and eggs. They both chose country potatoes. The menu does not say that country potatoes are really potatoes O'Brien. Brother doesn't like onions sister doesn't like bell peppers. The potatoes weren't even done. The linguisa was overcooked and barely edible. The ranch dressing tasted like bottled ranch. We love homemade ranch dressing. Thought every dine-in restaurant made their own ranch. When the bill came we were all shocked! We had 3 coffees, one hot chocolate and a tomato juic. Those 5 drinks were 22.00 dollars! If I want to pay 5 bucks for coffee I would go to Starbucks and get something delicious. So, breakfast for three cost just about a hundred dollar bill. I hope they read this review and fix these issues. When I walked out of Latifs I was still hungry. It's too bad because my brother in-law grew up here and was excited to go to the newly remodeled restaurant. This by all means is not to point fingers at anyone. We just hope they read this carefully and realize cutting corners is not the best thing to do if you want a successful restaurant here in Turlock...

Went here for breakfast on a weekend morning with my girlfriend given the reviews on yelp. And given the fact that we were new in town we wanted try different restaurant establisments. We got seated quickly since the restaurant was not incredibly busy. We ordered some of the breakfast combo and each of us ordered a slice of pie as well, given to rave reviews. The food was really not spectacular or anything and their pies altohough good were nothing memorable or anything to rave about. The thing that irks me the most about this diner is that we felt incredibly unwelcomed by the staff in the restaurant. My suspicion is that I am not of the same race of the entire restaurant including all the customers in the restaurant. We got repeatedly ignored for requests to get my coffee refilled even though the party of 4 right next to us got their coffee cups refilled repeatedly. Waitressess repeatedly walked by us complaining of the "stuffy air" while ignoring our empty glasses of water and coffee. On top of this our service was incredibly slow and the table of 4 next to us got seated later, ordered later but got their food first. While I do understand that some orders take longer to make, we were not ordering something very complicated. It's your regular pancakes, eggs and sausages. And I can assure you that the table of 4 next to us were not ordering bagels with cream cheese. All in all I would highly recommend this place if you are passionate about preserving anthropologically unique societies that are ancient and out of date. So that means don't go there for the pies and food if you are not the same race as the owners and workers in there. Unless of course you really...

My partner and I visited on a Sunday during the lunch rush hour and let me tell you, the food was 100% worth the long wait. I ordered the chicken and waffles with a side salad, while he ordered the hot chicken sandwich with garlic fries. This was no normal side salad, it had all the good stuff and surpassed my expectations, as I am used to the sad side salads that many restaurants serve. They obviously care about the quality of the entire meal, including the sides. I can say with all honesty, that this is hands down the best fried chicken I have ever had. My partner loved it so much that he was already making plans for us to come back as soon as we left. I will say that their cinnamon roll left something to be desired, but I am also aware that they are known for their pies, not their cinnamon rolls, so our mistake there. All in all I would 100% recommend if you are not bothered with waiting...
