What a great place to eat breakfast. A little crowded, but expect that with a place that has excellent food, and good prices. Had breakfast 3 adults and 1 toddler. But ordered 4 breakfast. Price was 65.00, and we'll spent. A must go..
The building is an old train station, the inside decor is fun, beautiful, and informative about the train station it used to be..♥️♥️🍽️

I have been going here for breakfast for years. It's always an enjoyable experience. The food and service is very good. Friendly waitresses. Now you place your order at the counter and they deliver it to your table.

Howard's has switched to counter service and it works well! A west county favorite continues to deliver.

I love a good breakfast place, and Howard's is a good breakfast place. Salmon Benedict and veggie omelets are my go to meals, but they do waffles and pancakes too. Smoothies and coffee if you're not too hungry. Usually a wait to get in on weekends, but weekdays are the best time to sneak in for a big breakfast. They serve lunch too, but I've always gone for breakfast.

I am well traveled and never have I found consistently great tasting food, wonderful variety, picture perfect breakfasts and lunch. Service is warm and friendly. Had to return four days in a row.

Delicious food! Really friendly and quick service. Mimosas with fresh squeezed juice. Dog friendly outdoor dining, they even have a dog menu

Lovely, spacious cafe, oasis in a remote location. Great latte with an artistic swirl. Appreciated having healthful breakfast options (quinoa bowl) as an alternative to typical eggs/cheese/bacon fare (which they also have). Interesting town history depicted on the wall.

Howard’s station continues to deliver - now post CoVid pandemic. French toast is great but the specials should be acknowledged. Wild salmon Benedict was great. Enjoy!

Really great food, the breakfast is the best. Most ingredients are locally sourced and organic. The menu has a lot of variety. The staff is very friendly and courteous. This is our favorite breakfast place in the Russian River area. We look forward to coming here every summer.
Just had our annual breakfast visit for my sons birthday. I think this is the best breakfast place I’ve ever been to.
