Cook N' Pot — Restaurant in Yuba City

COOK N' POT, YUBA CITY: I know what I am about to say may sound sacriligious to church goers, here (i.e. Cook n' Pot fans), but I find the food here, overrated. While the meals are definitely edible, I think they are greasy (maybe that's what people mean by "comfort food."). Breakfast tends to be better than lunch because the sandwiches (expecially the grilled ham and cheese, which I think is the best of the sandwiches) is also greasy, and kind of "blah-say." (pun) Everyone is right about the place being too small. I hate having to wait for a table. Maybe that is the price of having to join the club, here. Everyone kinda knows everyone else, at least in one group or another, or at one hour or another. I would just as soon go some place else to eat as stand around waiting for someone else to finish eating, and then fight off someone else off for a dirty table. I tend to go less often at busy hours for that very reason. I do find the people very pleasant--the others who write about that, are also correct. The atmosphere, generally, is upbeat and cordial, and staff seems always to be friendly, helpful, and just all around nice. That isn't enough to save the old fashioned mom and pop-type diner from blah's ville. It is just average. So-so. Ho. Hum. Definitely overrated. I think the reason so many people rate this place so high....wait for it.... They don't know how to cook for themselves, or have someone to cook for them. In other words, they aren't used to getting a good home cooked meal, so when anyone cooks for them, they equate that with luxury. But not me. What's that Shakespearean expression? "I know a church by day!" I know what a good home cooked meal is. I know what good steak and eggs are, hash browns, etc. I am not naive, I also know when something is greasy, and I don't like greasy. So, sorry. I just don't like greasy. Three stars,...

Absolutely the worst excuse for food I've ever had. Paid through the nose for food we couldn't even eat. I will never return. I cannot believe just how terrible they have become, cannot describe a worse experience in a restaurant. The gravy was lumpy goop that looked like baby poop. It simply was terrible. I still can't believe i paid for it. It all started when we decided to give them a try after several years after they changed hands, and the original owner past away. Boy was that a massive mistake. It was so hot in the place it felt like the Arizona dessert in August. The mess came, and looked like a mess alright. It was so gross it was inedible. My nephews potatoes were so under cooked they were crunchy. I got the ticket and had sticker shock, wow. I simply couldn't leave without paying, but it was not work paying for. I will never come back and will never recommend them to anyone. Please stay away, I wouldn't feed they're...
