Penny's All American Cafe

We got to the restaurant around 10 a.m. We waited for about 45 minutes after signing in with 8 groups ahead of us. They had a lot of seating for waiting patrons, which was nice. One of the benches was sticky, and people avoided sitting there, so I let a staff member know. It wasn't dealt with in the about 90 min we were there. Before we left, we let the waitress know, and she seemed to make note of it again. We initially got water, but it tasted like mold or chemicals. I couldn't continue drinking it. The ice was ok. I wonder if they need to change filters. I got the pismo pier omelet and added spinach and mushroom. Their home fries come with onions, are cooked nicely, and are not very crispy. The lobster and shrimp were cooked beautifully. And I was offered a gf pancake when I said I was gluten sensitive. She charged me an extra dollar to do that instead of toast. The other person got the chicken fried steak and home fries with over-easy eggs. The gravy had sausage in it and was well seasoned. We both added something to our potatoes.

The BEST breakfast in town...no matter what you order, Penny's will not disappoint. They also serve gluten free pancakes & have a decent lunch menu as well. Good, ol' fashioned breakfasts worth the wait. Pro tip: put your name on the waitlist & take a walk...a table will open shortly & you won't be rushed from your seat. Service with a smile & your coffee cup will never run low. Penny sponsors many charities, breast cancer is a big one...look for her jalapeño strawberry jam, proceeds usually go towards that. A local favorite indeed & you will be supporting some of the best humans here!
