If you're traveling through Lassen or just want to get an amazing sandwich, this is the place. We went to see the Subway Lava Tubes in Lassen, a fun little walk. We decided to have lunch here because it's some place we've never been to and they did not disappoint. My wife got the Rueben, and I got the BLTA (bacon, lettuce, tomato, avacado). My sandwich was good, and fries are fresh. The real prize was my wife's Rueben. My wife says it's the best she's had off the East Coast. Since I've never been to the East Coast, it's the best I've ever had. I highly recommend the stop. The restaurant is clean and cozy, and the staff are amazing.
Definitely worth the stop, especially if you hiking the PCT. The burger and fries were good. The milkshake was the best milkshake along the entire PCT. They provide free WIFI. They provide a water spigot outside for hikers to refill water bottles before long dry exposed stretch of trail ahead. Servers were all very friendly to us dirty and stinky hikers. Nice outdoor patio area to dine.
My Sunday morning drive led me to JJ's Cafe on Highway 89. The smokey air was not ideal to drive any further. Smokey skies and empty streets. Fortunately, the waiter greeted me with a big smile and welcomed me inside. Their wide selection of breakfast and lunch menus was perfect for the occasion. I opted to pick their house scrambler with a side of pancake and a glass of orange juice. The mozzarella cheese and mushrooms was a great addition to the mixture of ingredients. No regrets. A well balanced breakfast.
The Biscuits and Gravy were very good. The gravy has sausage in it. Service was nice, and I was hoping for snow while we were there, but it didnt develop. I'll have to try again since I enjoyed stopping there.
Best small town cafe I have been to. We were traveling back home to TX and stopped for lunch. Cool atmosphere, excellent service, and great good. JJ’s is a must see if traveling through Old Station
So impressed! This place was great for our family during our weekend trip at Hat Creek. They have home made bread, buns, cookies, etc. AKA its REAL food. They also have vegetarian options, which can be scarce from Sacramento to Portland. The place was remarkably well kept and clean especially considering the average guest is probably coming in from an excursion outdoors. The staff were extremely friendly and calming to be around. The pricing was super reasonable especially considering the work put into the food. There is an option to eat indoors or outdoors. We chose to sit on the patio, where we noticed other guests had leashed dogs with them while eating (so cool!) and the view on the deck is definitely worth going even if you aren't hungry-they serve wine and beer as well. We will be back for sure!
Just want to say that this restaurant is a must go to place. Amazing service and food. This place is not racist. They are welcoming of all races of color. I am very familiar with Gloria white. She is very rude and thinks she has priority over anyone and any place she goes to. Sad how far someone goes to ruin another one's reputation. Again, you won't regret eating here. Great place all around!!
Love stopping here traveling with my wife. Food is always good and so is the service. Waitress is always friendly. Highly recommend. We visited yesterday April 28, 2022 with my mom.
