Foster Farms Livingston Cafe

I attended this establishment on a Thursday night, which was "all-you-can-eat fried chicken night". I ordered the all-you-can-eat meal, which is about $13, and received my two pieces of chicken, along with mashed potatoes and gravy. When I finished my two (not very big) pieces of chicken, I sat and waited for a waitress to come by. She asked if I'd like more, to which I replied yes please. Then I sat and watched everyone else eat for the next 5 minutes. When she finally brought me my next round of chicken, it was a wing and a drumstick, which I ate in about 30 seconds. I then sat again and waiting for a waitress to be around to see if I'd like more. By the time someone else came by, everyone else was completely finished eating and I knew that if I ordered more, 5 people would be sitting waiting for me to finish. So, I don't know if that's the gimmick, get people to pay $13 for 4 tiny leg pieces of chicken and make them wait 5-10 minutes between rounds, or what.

The food was delicious, which is why I'm giving 4 stars, but unless you have a few hours to wait, I wouldn't suggest their "all-you-can-eat" meal.

Good chicken and clam chowder. Good chicken Caesar salad

Great food but wish they had better hours. Can't ever go now because they aren't open on weekends.

Oh my, this is one of my favorites. Can't say enough good things about this place. Charming, quaint, and a blast from the past. But the food is amazing. Not processed but real like grandma makes comfort food. A but pricy but well worth it. It's a every so often treat my family looks forward to. Their barbaque sauce is the best I ever tasted. Highly recommend giving it a try if you never have or rediscover if you have.

Livingston Ca.Must stop if in town or on 99 freeway either direction . I had the chicken fried chicken and the country gravy ALL over the chicken and mashed potatoes.. yum. Also a cup of their spicy chicken soup.. delightful. Waitress was great she made you feel like a local. It was great ,definitely will go back soon

Just need to upgrade little on decor

I had one of the best pancakes here, I was surprised on how fluffy and sweet they were, highly recommend

I don’t visit the cafe much, but when I do the food had always been good my only problem is the servers were not using the ice scoop for ice which grossed me out even after I mentioned it to them they continued to use the cups for scooping the ice. Glad I was having coffee.

The food there was amazing! We lived in Atwater for 20 years and never made it out that way, that's my only regret! There hasn't been a restaurant that has exceeded my expectations until now! The atmosphere, Awesome! The service, Amazing! The crowd , friendly and happy 😊! The staff, really outdid themselves with kindness and compassion!❤ You can tell they really appreciate their customers and want them to return! I thought I had been eating some really good breakfasts, until today, when I realized I had just eaten the best, by far!❤ The prices were more than reasonable, since the pandemic we have gotten too used to spending $40, for breakfast for the two of us! Not today, we spent $27 and I got what I wanted ☺chicken fried steak, the taste was clean and full of just the right flavors! I tried a bite of my husband hungry farmer omelet and I thought the Atwater scramble was good, but today I tasted something great!
They have dividers at the registers and employees wear masks and so do customers until seated, hand sanitizers were placed in different places accessible to everyone! We will definitely be regulars there, definitely impressed! Spoiler alert you will be full and happy about what you just ate and the amount you are paying doesn't leave you with a bad taste 😉!

Go here almost every Sunday after church for great breakfast. The Thursday all you can eat chicken night very popular. Glad to see they are adding "specials" to change up the menu offerings. Delicious cream of chicken soup (on Sundays only).
