Livestock Cafe — Restaurant in Visalia

I have eaten at the Livestock Cafe for years. It's only gotten better. The quality and quantity of the food are great. I had enough food for 3 meals, and I ate every last bite. I took Mom out for breakfast, and she was amazed by the quality and the service.

By far, this restaurant has food worth every penny. I especially like the fact that I will be taking home the rest and won't have to cook anything till the next day. This place is great. I have traveled through the States, the Philippines, Thailand, Burma, and Canada, and by far the food here compares to the top restaurants I have eaten at in my travels. What's best is that this restaurant is only 5 minutes away from my home. I can't wait till they open, I'm dreaming about my last meal there.

You can't go wrong with anything you order, it's always gonna fill your belly and is cooked to perfection. I have cooked for 400 people for breakfast and lunch, and 60 for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Even when the restaurant is packed, the staff continually checks on you, brings you a pitcher of coffee, not just a cup so it's obvious that the customer's well-being is the staff's sole purpose. My Grandfather grew up during the Depression, and he could tell us about the food and service at every restaurant he visited while traveling through all 50 states, except Alaska and Hawaii. I loved my Grandfathers stories, especially his descriptions of the restaurants and the descriptions of the food and service. I especially liked his way of expressing his displeasure of the food and service. He would leave a penny as a tip, lol.

My grandfather knew what it was like to be hungry. While traveling between Wisconsin and Washington State, he watched 400 people jump off the train and dig up potatoes in Idaho. He would take the shot out of a 12-gauge shotgun round and use wax to hold a ball bearing on the shell, track deer through the snow; of course, you had to be within 100 yards before you took the shot. Mom never ate meat from a store; her father always shot dinner, of course, bear, elk. Oh, and deer, called a buck because the meat was only worth a buck.

We have it easy now, a 5-10 min drive, and we can buy all the food we need. But when it comes to having a good meal prepared, we have to be careful in our choices of where we eat. More times than I care to mention, I have been displeased with the service and the food that was prepared.

For the money, service, and quality of the food prepared, I would give the Livestock Cafe 5 stars and recommend this restaurant to anyone ready for a great breakfast or lunch.I'm hungry thinking about my last experience and meal at the Livestock...

Absolutely best breakfast you can get. Not fancy. Great down home style cooking. Fresh fruit on my granddaughters French toast. Lots of bacon and hashbrowns with my eggs cooked perfectly. My wife loves the chicken fried steak. She's from Texas and is...

The burgers are hands-down some of the best in Visalia very quaint and cozy family-owned restaurant. This is one of those hole-in-the-wall restaurants that you have to know somebody who knows...
