The cafe was excellent. The service was perfect. I took the family there for breakfast. We live 1 1/2 half hours away, and was our first time to be there. We all got something different, and enjoyed every bit of it. The only problem we had were the patrons. While we were waiting outside I would say good morning to people as they passed by. I got looks of shock, and people acting like they were going out of there way to say anything back. We will go back to the restaurant. I hope people from Fountain Valley get friendlier.

BEST CHICKEN FRIED STEAK IN TOWN. IT'S HUGE. GOTTA TRY IT. YOU KNOW THE PLACE IS GREAT BECAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS A WAIT. WORTH WAITING FOR!! Their omlettes are amazing as well and the French toast. Everything is great! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Really laid back atmosphere geared to making veterans comfortable. Love this place!

I frequently come here for breakfast. I love the home style food. Meatloaf, chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy, French toast, excellent pancakes are just some of my favorites. The food is high quality and you definitely get what you pay for. The waitresses are all sweet and efficient. The place is casual and comfy.

Lots of food! Service was phenomenal. The military memorabilia was tasteful and gave a wonderful vibe.

Just passing through town and got hungry. Decided to stop at a shop to get coffee and a donut which is right next door. Ordered food and it was very good, was not expecting much from a small coffee shop but was it amazing. Decor is very unique to say the least. Has a lot of war themed paintings and photos. Very picky eater btw and I NEVER write reviews. Would definitely eat there again

Share a plate, dont order a dish just for yourself. We made the mistake of ordering 2 Chicken Fried Chicken's, 1 for the each of us, and 3/4 of the each Chicken plate went home in boxes. Good recipes, incredible coffee, friendly ladies took great care of us! Nice decor. Made me feel like i was in a Military Museum. Easy parking, fair prices.

I normally love this place, which is why I’m giving it 3 stars. Maybe someone had a bad morning, but when I called to order, the woman taking my order was short and a little bit rude to me. I asked for extra crispy hash browns and my hash browns weren’t cooked at all, not even browned.

I love this place, but sometimes they’re a little hard to deal with.

We were very disappointed in both entrees ordered. I had the pot roast /spinach omelette with hash browns. We both had the biscuits with gravy and my daughter ordered the chicken fried steak. My omelette was flat (not fluffy) and tasteless and the hash brown were limp, tired (not crispy) and also lacked flavor. The country/milk gravy was awful! The predominant taste was an odd, overpowering sweetness, making it almost inedible! This was particularly distasteful on my daughter's country fried steak, on which you would expect, a savory gravy, traditionally with the taste of sausage or bacon.
The woman at the cash register, overheard us perplexedly discussing the gravy, and she replied, "We think it's the milk." Her comment would seem to indicate others shared the same feelings as us.
Since it was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives we're wondering if they are under new ownership?
Needless to say, we won't be returning!
