My Homestyle Café — Restaurant in Vallejo

Am I biased just because this is a Vallejo-run establishment? Not as all. It's just that they serve some of the most bomb diggity food that i've had.

Ah, Downtown Vallejo! How I love and hate thee! I love you because you are where I spent 17 good years of my life. I frequented your corner stores, browsed through your various antique stores, and i've even eaten at some of the restaurants down there. But I hate you because, well... others hate you. By others, I mean new businesses. It's a risky proposition to open up show in the Downtown V. You just have no clue if you will remain successful, even after good opening. Thank goodness that the like of China Cafe, Gracies, and even Java Jax have managed to stay open. My Homestyle Cafe should be added to that list.

If i'm not mistaken, this restaurant has been open for a couple of years now. It's definitely got it's own loyal fanbase. This place is no frills and offers up one thing, and one thing only: some of the most delicious, down home, homemade comfort food you'll ever taste. This is some real eat a whole meal and prepare to sleep it off for the weekend and then work it off in the gym type of eating right here, i'm telling you! I mean that in a completely and whole-heartedly good way as well.

I've had a lot of what's on their menu. The ribs, chicken, hot links, burgers, and oh man, the chicken and waffles! This is probably the only place you can get chicken and waffles in Vallejo (now that Soul For You is closed. which bites) and man is it good. It's actually all really good. The ribs actually suprised me as I thought they'd just be the regular par-broiled kind, but these ones are actually decently on point! Same with the chicken. The catfish here is great as well. Crunchy and seasoned perfectly. The garlic fries are also awesome. Want to end your meal in the most awesome way possible? Order the peach cobbler, warmed up, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you have that after a meal, prepare for some next-level sleepiness.

Most importantly, the staff here is beyond friendly and they really go out of their way to make sure you're having a great eating experience. Their cheery hospitable attitude, fast service, and great food makes for an awesome treat all in all. This is DEFINITELY a place you have to stop and eat at if...

I’ve never been here before never me and my sister but we happen to be in this city and Groupon something and this place popped up the photos looked good so let’s try it black establishment support our people no problem got here at 11ish breakfast only we decided to wait for lunch however from the beginning to end poor service haven’t even tried the food yet still waiting for our food so I’ll see how this goes if it’s like the service terrible ijs bring better attitude to work none of us want to work especially in food service customer service but it is what it is let’s make the best of it happy black history month...

Today was my first visit to My Homestyle Cafe. I'm a Louisiana born and raised Southern girl so I know my Soul Food. The food was just like my Mom's (Big Mama). The fried fish was perfectly Krispy outside...light and fluffy inside...just perfect! Peach cobbler to die for and as an added surprise...they were handing out Beniget samples which were the best I have ever tasted (I have eaten them in N.O. many times but these are the best ever.) Thank you ladies for the wonderful meal and service. I will...
