My Garden Cafe

First time here. Excellent service, really good food! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Betty was fantastic! A must try Cafe!

Great service, great food. Clean restaurant. We went for a late breakfast, and it wasn't crazy busy, but there were people there and still got good service.

Food is ALWAYS good. My waitress was so helpful in assisting me with choices. The fried potatoes are my favorite (and if you don't want the peppers & onions, just tell them, and they'll leave 'em out). Great food in a friendly, family style setting. 😋

Very good food, wonderful servers that helped us with everything we needed. They all had smiles and friendly.

All the time I come in which is about once a week Star is our waitress, she is always on top of everything and has great attitude and makes sure our order is great which it's always great we've been to the one in modesto which I don't care for the service over there so we will continue to come here to turlock cause Star is a great waitress with an amazing attitude!!!!!

Beautiful people at your service with a welcome and smile- respectful- very attentive- coffee cups filled- take time for pleasant conversation. Food is delicious in a timely no too long wait. I had a BLT w/avocado and crispy delicious fries- yum! Check out with a warm thank you and a " come back soon!" WILL go back. You must give this place a try- You will not regret! Serves breakfast and lunch- closes @2pm.

Was craving some good pancakes and the pecan banana pancakes were all that. I'll be back to try more breakfast items. Only one downer... the coffee. Definitely not a rich brew. Tea might be a better option. UPDATE: Still a fav place for breakfast. The pancakes & waffles still my favorites. Had pork chops today and although tasty, they were a bit too salty. The biscuits and gravy was a huge portion, but the biscuits were a little hard. Brought that home for later after I warm the biscuits with the gravy. I'll be back to try an omelet or the French toast!

Stag were very attentive and I had the best (and messiest) burger ever. Koodos to the cook. First time and not my last visit

A nice casual setting with amazing food. I ordered their breakfast special "Ironman omelet" made with dice ham, fresh spinach, mushrooms and onions and it was fantastic... it was served with country potatoes and sourdough toast (my choice of sides) Their omelets come packed with yummy fresh ingredients and the food is priced great! The service was great as well, very friendly and well attentive. I'll definitely be back again soon!

Eggs Benedict. Were excellent.. great service.

I found another great breakfast place in Turlock. I had The Corned Beef Hash plate with country potatoes, scrambled eggs, and a biscuit with gravy. Very tasty!!!! I loved the corned beef hash. For my beverage, I had black coffee, a large orange juice, and ice water. My only gripe is that the large orange juice is rather small. Other than that, the portions are large. The service here is very good.

First time in this shop, first thing I notice is their little seating area and all the yummy treats along the wall. Very nicely presented. The case to the left filled with these beautiful creations. Happy Friday to me with these little tasty treats. The Raspberry and the Apricot folder overs are flakey and delightful. I’m not one for rose flavor, however I thought I’d try it. The Rose Mousse Eclair is light and mousse is light. Again I’m not one for rose flavors, but this was good. Nice people!

First visit here to the My Garden Cafe and guess what was on the menu for the Southern tastebuds ... fried okra! What a treat and dipped in ranch, even better. Ok, back to the occasion, the breakfast here did not disappoint. Everything tastes fresh, light fluffy omelettes seem to have layers ... a breakfast essential if you treat yourself and stop here!

First time here and won’t be the last! The breakfast was incredible! Best gravy I have ever tasted in a restaurant! The home fries were crisp but melted in your mouth. The food was just amazing! I can’t wait to go back! Now I wish I lived in Turlock!

Nice place to eat for breakfast or lunch, very friendly staff and a good relaxed atmosphere!

Hi, this is my favorite spot in Turlock. My food is always the best here. Today on Monday 3/24 around 9:30 came across this waitress name is Beranic very unprofessional and rude because she was serving coffee to the customer and didn't even bother to ask us if we needed refill and we were right next to the table she offer the customer. I didn't appreciate her demeanor as she turn around knowing we needed refills on our coffee and didn't bother to ask us and just walk away.

I love everything about this place The owner The servers- all get A++ in my rating We meet every Saturday and they treat us exceptionally well- whether 3 or 13 of us They go out of their way! Thank you everyone ! You too Francisco!! Pastor Hunnel John 3:16

One of our favorite breakfast/lunch spots. Large menu with a multitude of options and awesome staff. Their jelly is incredible and you can buy a bottle to take home! We always keep some in our refrigerator.

My friend and I ate there Monday morning food was great. The pretty blonde gave exceptional customer service despite her being extremely busy! She was prompt and efficient! We will definitely be back . 5 star customer service

The food is always fresh and tasty here, and they have a good variety of items for both breakfast and lunch. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. They treat us like family! Our waitress even remembered our new grandson from months ago and wondered where he was and how's he doing. Very nice! We usually like to go here on Sunday after church. The portions are decent for the price, as we usually have some leftovers. I love reading all the humorous signs hanging on the walls around the inside of the eating areas. My only minor complaint is the choice of music and the volume seemed a tad high. But in all fairness, it's probably just a matter of individual or personal preference. AND... I hope that they eventually decide to switch to Coca-Cola products instad of that Pepsi stuff. - I will definitely be coming back to enjoy this cozy and down-home restaurant again!.

Employees are always nice, I've been coming here for years. The food is amazing always. I always comes here in early hours for breakfast, location is fine. Big parking lot is very close

Great place to have breakfast or lunch. Their menu has something for everyone. This is one of the restaurants my wife and I come to eat when we come to Turlock. Good and affordable.

We always have a great breakfast, Thank You 😊

Great service, great food. Clean restaurant. We went for a late breakfast, and it wasn't crazy busy, but there were people there and still got good service.

First time at this location. Have been to their Ceres and Modesto location. Their food is good. I was disappointed that this location did not have potato salad. The service was friendly and attentive. My only complaint is there are no booths and the tables are REALLY close together.

This place is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The previous rating is correct when saying that the portions aren't for the tiny tummies. My wife was happy with her meal, mine was a bit too salty but I'm sure it's because I don't use salt much. As a customer service expert with 25yrs of customer service experience I can honestly say this, the staff was very friendly and cheerful, and the service our server gave us was on point. We will be back so that should tell you our first impressions of this new place. Im glad to see another business in Turlock thrive. Sincerely, R&T

Love tye place but not to thrilled they let so many non service animals in. Especially big dogs that bark at everyone. Just because you can buy the "service" dog jumper on Amazon doesn't mean it's a service dog

I had the steak and eggs. They were both awesome. Great service as well. Im a very picky person. But this place deserves a shot. You can tell they are organized and have a plan of attack. Best new spot in years for Turlock.

I work near this place and have had breakfast here a couple of times, they have wonderful service the people are all friendly and go out of their way for customers. The food is delicious and the portions are big. I have had food to take home both times

I’m visiting Turlock from Australia where we don’t have Chicken Fried Steak & Country Gravy so I’ve been trying all the local diners and My Garden Cafe has the best that I’ve found!! The Hotcakes were also really delicious. Would have rated 5 stars but my partner’s Philly cheese steak had really tough & chewy steak so he had to remove the meat from the sandwich. He said the onion rings were pretty good though.

Clean & Cozy Place , Good Quality , Great Service, Good Portions... Food is a little Bland but still good. 2 Breakfasts Coffee & Soda $45 & change

Love this place. Great food and service. And I love the gravy!!! Bisquits and gravy for later is the best!!!

Crab louie salad pretty good. Chorizo scramble very good and pancakes were very very good.

This place was pleasantly tasty. I got the pancake sandwich which actually was not a sandwich at all. I was a little upset bc in tjat case they should chsnge the name, BUT it a great portion. The pancakes were a lot bigger than expected and the potatoes and gravy was so good, my mom ate practically the whole bowl! The service was good. I loved the wall decor . We had a good convo with a sweet local next to us and she gave us a coupon . Would definitely go back a second time

Everything was great, except my server was openly coughing, and coughing into her hands while touching everything. Not once did she sanitize or wash. I ended up getting a cough and sore throat 3 days later. Very unsanitary. (This is the only place I’ve been all week. I’ve been home otherwise.)

Its average food , food is not great.

This place used to be the go-to breakfast place for huge servings at reasonable prices. I haven't been in years, just because none of the locations are convenient anymore, but it definitely is not what it used to be, not that most places are, but still had much higher expectations. Especially for the price - for my husband, myself, and our daughter, who is a year in a half, our bill was around 60$. For breakfast?! I didn't want or need potatoes plus biscuits and gravy, I got offered fruit, which I should have said no to because half of it was inedible. The strawberries were moldy, and the pineapple was bitter, like it had started to ferment. My husband had the linguiça omelet and said it wasn't bad, but he probably wouldn't order it again. I got chicken fried steak, and it was definitely a lot smaller than I expected it to be. On top of alllll that, the place wasn't busy by any stretch, and the waitress kept walking behind our daughter and bumping into the highchair, there was plenty of space to go around our table on either direction, but they just kept walking behind her with food and the full coffee pot😬it made both my husband and I very uncomfortable.

They have an excellent selection of foods, and the quality of the food was great. The interior is a little dated but clean. The woman that seated us was very friendly and kind and that’s where the good service ended. Our server was very rude and never came back to check on us. There was a table next to us and she knocked over all their creamer and never picked it up and there was creamer all over the floor. When the next customers came to sit there, their server was apologizing and cleaned it up. When we got our check and ready to leave , she asked the one male in our group, “Did you want some more water, hon?”When she came back, we all put our glasses or cups on the edge of the table for her to fill them, and she only grabbed his and went behind the counter, filled it and came back and then left. For whatever reason she got irritated when we asked questions about menu items and even rolled her eyes. It’s possible she was having a bad day, but that shouldn’t be a concern of your customers. When we were leaving, we asked the young woman that sat as if there were other locations. She stated that there are and gave us the addresses of the other locations. We will definitely patronize one of those.

High prices for a very average diner, but the staff was super nice. I ordered the eggs florentine with hash browns, but the hash browns were burnt to hell. On top of that, the dish made me violently ill shortly after, and I had stomach cramps and other explosive symptoms for two days. The food was not worth how sick I felt afterwards. Another reviewer put it simply— one time is enough lol. I will not be visiting again.

I have given this place too many chances. Either I get sick from the food or the food isn't made correctly. Got raw ground beef in the middle of my hamburger steak. Asked for well done. Please avoid this place at all costs.

This place was horrible. It took forever just for someone to even come take our order, and when they finally did, the server had the worst attitude ever. Literally acted like we were bothering them for asking basic questions about the menu. Zero customer service skills, zero friendliness. The food came out cold, tasted gross, and honestly wasn’t worth even half the price. Don’t waste your time or money there are way better brunch spots like TACO BELL that actually care about their customers.
