  Great little old school breakfast and lunch joint. And I mean OLD school, but in all the right ways. Solid menu of eggs and sandwiches (breakfast all day!) at very reasonable prices, cooked right in front of you. The decor has not been touched since 1972, but it's clean and friendly and the folks that are eating there have been keeping it their little secret for a long time.
  
  For lunch I had a BLT. A good BLT is a work of art. Just a couple ingredients but when put togehter properly, you have yourself a great sandwich.  They make a good BLT. Nicely toasted bread, thick cut bacon, lots of fresh lettuce and a ripe tomato.  And you can get fresh fruit as a side and they don't charge you a fortune for it.
  
  I had a minced egg dish for brunch --- what I would call a scramble. Generous portion, lots of add-in options, lots of choices for sides.
  
  There is no ambiance, but the food makes up for it (with no line and no pretension and constantly full cup of coffee). And when the cook had a quiet moment, he was cleaning - always a sign of a well-run place.

  I found this amazing cafe by accident, while getting my van serviced at Aled Automotive next door.
  DANG!!! Best patty melt ever! Marble rye, toasted to perfection, a generous hunk of tender beef, grilled red onion, and oozing cheese!Crispy fries, and superior iced tea they brew here!
  Friendly and efficient service by Jackie; she runs a tight ship! As I enjoyed my lunch on the patio, a steady stream of locals dined here or picked up orders to go.
  Clean, fresh and delicious! Go! You will be so glad you did!

  Asked for soft boiled eggs, as a breakfast place it's really disappointing to see an inability to preform some of the culinary basics related to breakfast.
  
  Here is a BASIC recipe you can easily follow;
  
  Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower eggs into water one at a time. Cook 6 1/2 minutes, adjusting heat to maintain a gentle boil. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and chill until just slightly warm, about 2 minutes.
  
  I went to Denny's and they made them Perfectly. It's really to bad when Denny's sets the bar out of reach.
  
  Service was wonderful, Jade was outstanding and a delight. 5/5
  
  Food was a little lackluster at times; pork chops were slightly over salted, and over cooked.
  
  The Jam is delicious and peresame with the biscuits, gravy is very basic no too much flavor and a little too thick might just be the batch.
  
  The bacon is tasty but floppy and greasy.
  
  Eggs again Denny's does better.
  
  Biscuits were fluffy and delightful. Paired with the jam almost a dessert. 5/5 stars for biscuits.

  My kids and I were just passing through town on our way to the beach when we found this sweet little spot. We all had breakfast and the food was great. I wasn't a huge fan of the sourdough toast, but that's just me. Our server was fabulous! Didn't catch her name, but she was the young one with the tattoos. The rest of the staff seemed pretty damn awesome too. Mr. Mom's will definitely be our go to when we're in Petaluma.

  We walked a mile to get here and it was worth it. Good affordable brunch. Friendly servers, Angela was great. You can customize a skillet meal. My friend raved about her California eggs Benedict which has bacon,spinach,avocado.. Nice outdoor seating, dog friendly. Note-they close  2pm..
