One of my favourite local diners. I stayed in Turlock for 7 weeks and made sure we came here at least once a week for breakfast. The service is outstanding, the atmosphere is perfect for that old school diner feel and the portion sizes of the meals are generous. Everything we tried on the menu was great, especially the fall season special pumpkin pancakes!!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The search is finally over! This place has the best biscuits and gravy in the 209 area. These biscuits are made fresh daily and you can definitely tell. They are tall and fluffy and quite filling. the gravy is smooth and creamy I can’t say it’s the best gravy around but it complements the biscuit who is the real star of the show. All the other menu items we tried were delicious as well. portions are generous and prices are on par with most other breakfast joints. Service was excellent, fast and friendly even on a bustling Saturday morning. Atmosphere is nothing fancy just straight up cafe fare with a classic local vibe. This will absolutely be in rotation for breakfast and I am looking forward to trying the lunch menu

I’ll never get fast food breakfast again!!! On occasion I find myself early to work and in need of a quick breakfast. I’m really tired of the overpriced, unflavored fast food options so I gave AJs a shot today and was pleasantly surprised!!! I was in and out in 10ish minutes, less time then it took for me to dump all of the available half n half’s into my coffee cup, and have a FRESH home cooked flavorful breakfast. I’ll be coming back for sure!
