Copper Skillet Courtyard

Stuffed French toast with pineapple & ham was surprisingly good... no need for syrup. Eggs Benedict over Corn Beef and home fries were delicious! Both meals were really good. Friendly, approachable, attentive and professional service. Very quaint attractive and charming place.

This is hands down coziest breakfast spot I’ve been to in a very long time. The ambience was comforting and warm, the staff were so kind and the food was awesome. Also I have to say the country potatoes were so crispy and delicious, literally the best I’ve had in I don’t know how long.

I had the strawberry French toast and hash browns which are delicious. Service is okay. The place has an interesting stuck-in-time vibe.

My little guy and I had a free weekend and wanted to fill it with fun adventures and yummy food! We started it off at Copper Skillet and we were so happy with our choice. We ordered the breakfast burrito with a side of breakfast potatoes, and the monte cristo french toast sandwich with a side of hash browns. Everything was so delicious! There wasn’t any wait to get seated, our food came out incredibly quickly, and the service was excellent! We would definitely recommend this spot and we will definitely be back!

My breakfast at Copper Skillet Courtyard was better than I could have dreamed of in my wildest dreams. I had The Cure, a breakfast special of that day. It was something to die for, especially if you haven’t had your breakfast till 11:00.

I kept hearing people rave about this place so went with my wife and toddler to check it out. We were extremely satisfied with everything! The place was packed (understandably) but they still seated us pretty quickly. I almost ordered a regular chicken fried stake but then noticed and specials and got the upgrated Hook-Up version. My wife got the Tony's Special and enjoyed it enough to declare it her main go to choice now whenever we eat here. Especially with a bagel added on the side, as they mix together well. My daughter got the pancake with bacon and was excited to be able to choose chocolate milk as her drink. There are no refills on the milk, but she was full by the time she finished it anyway.

Had a wonderful breakfast here with my mom and daughter this week. I have lived in the area a long time and this is my first trip here. I I'm definitely returning. I had the fiest omelette, which comes with a side of sour cream, pico de gallo, and a wonderful medium hot sauce. It was a wonderful combination of tastes. The hash browns were perfectly golden and the toast was warm and buttered. My coffee cup was never empty and the service was really good. Love the wood interior It feels like a Tahoe restaurant. Good ambience and five. There are a few tables out front on the sidewalk. If you haven't been here you definitely should give it a try.

Expect to wait going here, it's small and cozy and gets super busy. Food is great, service too, however, my only complaint is they have big portions and I don't eat alot. I asked for a kid menu and can't have it since Adults can't order from it. As I said they have large portions.

I friggin love this place. Copper Skillet is turning into one of my favorite breakfast spots now. I love the old homey diner feels. The service is amazing too but I really love their menu. A week or two I came here and ordered an Eggs Benny. I was very impressed with the Hollandaise sauce and how each egg was cooked perfectly. Perfect goldness poured into the Hollandaise and on the plate. I mean it wasn't really gold. But the way it taste? Lemony. Buttery. It might as well of been gold. Sure it doesn't make any sense. But if you try the Benny, I promise you'll know what I mean. But wait. Theres more! Melted cheese and onions on your hash brown because why the heck not? Sometimes you take a break from the Benny and you just have some of the bites of the hash that have the Egg yolk and the Hollandaise sauce imbetween ketchup bites. Argh... ...Did I mention Copper Skillet has great drinks too?

I order a waffle 2 scramble eggs and bacon with a cup of coffee. What didn't get, tastelessness that is the summation of everything to include the service. My coffee cup was cracked. I asked to have another cup because that and the sour waitress Autumn, plopped the cup right next to the original cracked cup, pivoted and left. I have pictures..the bacon had honestly NO TASTE I couldn't finish anything including being subject to biases if you get my drift. No such thing as ambiance...no such thing as service and definitely no such thing as edible food‍ NEVER EVER AGAIN... Close this place DOWN gross

We waited about 10 minutes for a table, but the time flew by -- and after eating here, we totally get why there's a wait. This place is clearly popular for a reason! I ordered the Heat Omelette and OMG... SO good. Ground chuck, jalapeño, cream cheese, bacon, and pepper jack -- every bite was packed with flavor. And the crispy hash browns? Absolutely fabulous. My boyfriend went with the Heart Attack Omelette - meat galore and seriously delicious Service was fast and friendly, and the ambiance was cute, welcoming, and relaxed. We'll definitely be back -- worth the wait!

OCT2025 Stopped in for brunch with some family that had visited. The place gets quite busy but noise wasn't too bad which was nice. Service checked on us often with water and coffee refills aplenty. My partner ordered a Cali benedict with hash browns and onions. I had ordered the skinny omelette and we had a short stack between us to share. The benedict had a nice hollandaise, and the bacon a good crunch. The hash browns were cheesy too which was great. The skinny omelette was cooked well with all the veggies. Overall just needed a bit of salt but better to err on the safe side with that as it is. The short stack was good; nice and fluffy. I don't remember the syrup but it may have been elderberry and worked well for our purposes.

This seems to be the weekend place for locals to grab breakfast. Families post kids sports, farmer market, it's certainly popular on Sundays. The owner seems frantically scrambling, which doesn't instill either comfort or confidence for the waiting masses outside. Once we breeched the entrance, things got better. The "drinks crew" was a speedy, efficient machine. Coffee was very low flavor, maybe the usual patrons favor cream and sugar. I typically drink black, this needed the additions. Time from putting our names to waiting list, (9:54am) ordering then receiving food (11am) 66 min. Food was tasty. Worth the price? Very much so. Worth the wait?. Not really, not to our family. Staff was super friendly. The restaurant felt clean. While I was waiting at the register to pay, no less than 4 staff informed me that someone was coming. 7 min later they did - kind of a long time to be standing by the register. Overall a nice, delicious and friendly place if you're enjoying a lazy Sunday and have no place to be for a while. If you're wanting a more typical turnaround (if you have plans of any kind) - this may not be the place.

The Copper Skillet Courtyard in Martinez is definitely worth the wait. I ordered the chicken fried steak omelette and it was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and super filling. The food overall was great, the service was friendly and attentive, and the ambience had that cozy, classic breakfast spot vibe. There was about a 20-30 minute wait for a table for four on a Sunday morning, but it went by fast since we walked over to the nearby farmers market to kill time. Solid spot all around, I'll definitely be back.

Best tuna melt in town (with marble rye and Swiss). Prove me wrong. The whole menu is solid, the wait staff is super friendly and reasonable prices. The restaurant looks like a cabin in Tahoe and feels very much like a cabin in the woods (in a good way). Great place for families and the kiddos. My only reservation about rating this is that I know I'm making the wait time longer :-)

The breakfast was excellent, eggs perfect, sausage perfect hash browns perfect the rye was out of the world good. The service was even better. And the restroom was clean.

Nice little hidden gem on a quiet side street. I was in the area and had time to explore. It's a nice place to go with some friends for brunch. The food was pretty standard and dent price;, but whatever they have seemed excellent. Nothing fancy but I liked the somewhat old courthouse motif. I did note it wasn't greasy or too salty, and gave generous portions. I enjoy a good hot chocolate with my breakfast, but it was just powdered with added whipped cream and sprinkles. Service was excellent. Friendly, fast, thoughtful. I went at 10am and it was very empty, but at 1030 it started to have a good wait.

Cute Spot that a coworker recommended. We were seated right away and drink orders were taken right away. There's definitely more selection on the chalkboards but we were seated by the window and didn't wanna get up to see since it was starting to get packed. But the selection on the menus themselves were enough for me honestly Everyone enjoyed their meals. For me Huevos Rancheros can be a little tricky. The chips off to the side or under the eggs would've made it a little better so I didn't have to go moving them around to find the eggs

Had a wonderful breakfast here with my mom and daughter this week. I have lived in the area a long time and this is my first trip here. I I'm definitely returning. I had the Fiesta Omelette, which comes with a side of sour cream, pico de gallo, and a wonderful medium hot sauce. It was a wonderful combination of tastes. The hash browns were perfectly golden and the toast was warm and buttered. My coffee cup was never empty and the service was really good. Love the wood interior It feels like a Tahoe restaurant. Good ambience and vibe. There are a few tables out front on the sidewalk. If you haven't been here you definitely should give it a try.

Cute breakfast spot with plenty of options to choose from. I went for a simple breakfast with a sausage patty. I recommend adding onions and cheese to the hashbrowns! Great service and would definitely come back.

My meal was Huge!!! I wish I brought my wife to share. I've know of the Copper Skillet for years and always wanted to come here. Today I a reason. Dropped my son at the superior court for Jury Duty and had an hour and a half to kill before an appt in Pleasant Hill. Yeahi, breakfast time.... Walking in I was greeted immediately, "take a seat anywhere". It was 3/4 full on a Monday morning at 8:30am, a good sign. I took a seat, the interior was tight but not cramped. The waitress came right over with menus. I knew what I wanted. Chicken Fried Steak and eggs. She asked one or two? What restaurant states you can have Two steaks. I'm going for broke and said two please. My mistake. The steaks were large, plus three eggs and hash and toast. Half came home with me. So $20 later I was full, took tomorrow's breakfast home cutting the bill in half, and had a great breakfast. The staff continued to check on me throughout my meal but was never pushy. I'd like to bring Wifey here on a Sunday morning for a great meal and enjoy the downtown Farmers Market. 100% recommended.

Really good solid breakfast! Nice wait service too! This place remains one of my top picks for a good sit down breakfast place where you can eat and feel full. Thank you copper skillet! Gene Y.

Cute neighborhood brunch place. Food was good portion and taste good! (Just country potatoes needs seasoning) Pricing is good. Service was excellent! We will definitely come back to try other menu items! Street parking

The food here was really delicious and made well that makes me want to come back. The staff was welcoming and provided friendly service.

Went to the restaurant again today for french toast. They have quite a complex menu there with a variety of unique items. It's actually worth checking out some nice combinations that are unique there such as a ham sandwich made out of French toast. It sounds very appetizing The staff was very friendly and attentive, I didn't have an empty cup of coffee. The food was okay. They give you a nice portions. I think next time however I will get the hash browns instead of the country potatoes. They're potatoes are sliced different and kind of look like they're deep fried which isn't bad, it's just not what I'm used to. A little pricey but I think all food is today especially restaurants Kind of a small place and it's really popular so seating might be limited. If you want a quick breakfast in a casual setting with items you might be familiar with that are tasty I would recommend this place

Haven't been here in a while but on this busy Sunday the staff here was amazing and attentive! Always filling our coffee cups to checking in on the food. We had the chicken and waffles and hash and eggs. All was quick hot and yummy. Super cute location with comfy seating. Love the upstairs jury box seats.

I'm from So Cal, but originally from The City (yeah, not just The Bay, but SF proper) and I consider The Copper Skillet to be my go-to favorite enough to call it, "Destination Dining" where I'd drive the 30+ miles that takes up to an hour or so embarking across the Bay Bridge just to get to The Copper Skillet whenever I'm in town, and I do visit family and friends often. The Food Gods has blessed me that they serve their signature breakfast menu all day, so I never have to worry about running late, or deciding at off hours that I crave their traditional morning delights. My recommendation is to customize your own breakfast, choosing among what seems to be nearly 50 different items on the menu and selecting something a little different every time. You can't go wrong with the linguica and corned beef hash, 2 of my favorite breakfast meats, or the chicken fried steak, which is well seasoned and tasty. Add in a waffle and country potatoes and you got yourself a great breakfast spread for one you'd never want to share because its so good, with great portions that anything leftover will have your heart and future appetite thank you for saving something for later. My wife swears by the Heart Attack Omelet, for the savory gravy atop a plethora of pork, highlighted by the linguiça (thank goodness, because otherwise I'd have to share mine with her!). It's super kid and family friendly, as my son loves the cute silver dollar pancakes, strawberry French toast or strawberry waffle for his sweet tasty carbs and sometimes gets the Courtyard Special which has everything he wants and needs. For some reason, we almost always order off the breakfast menu as creatures of habit and it's generally what we drive nearly an hour for as our obsessive craving. However, I'm also a soup guy and we always take a daily soup home with us. Yeah, we tend to overorder because it's our "since we're here and we drove all the way here" thing to do. When it comes to lunch or dinner, I'll deviate off the breakfast menu once in a while for a basic burger or french dip as I often just like to taste the meats with minimal garnishments, add on's nor sauces and those really hit their mark with me. The staff are welcoming and friendly and of course, parking is very convenient and easy, so it's always a pleasant experience coming in and going out. I highly recommend The Copper Skillet, as it's legendary by the locals, but for travelers passing by or those in the proximity, it's worth the stop and making a plan to check it out.

Such a cozy cafe to eat breakfast or lunch on a nice weekend! Customer service is always super friendly & helpful. I've only had breakfast and it never disappoints! 100% recommend it.

Stopped by here on a rainy morning, and we were seated straight away. Large portions and the food was really great. I especially enjoyed making the hashbrowns loaded! I don't think I want to enjoy hashbrowns any other way from now on.

The food is DELICIOUS and freshly made. I ordered and received a fully cooked meal within 5 minutes. I'm not sure where the $5.99 breakfast is but I got the special breakfast which is your basics!! Bacon, 2- eggs, toast, coffee $19.00, I wasn't happy about the $1.95 a little bit of grilled onion but whatever. It's a little costly but the diner is downtown Martinez near the courts, jail Public Defender and DA office! The waitress was polite, the diner is small but had lots of seating, well lit and though they have menus the wall size chalk menu is a great look- traditional diner feel is my favorite. Great food and service I come here often

I love the rustic setting with the knotty pine paneling and the red Formica tables. Staff is always very accommodating and friendly. Huge menu to choose from. My son had a burger and I had the Diablo roast beef melt. The fries were really crispy and hot. My melt was a little bit soggy, but still delicious. Next time I will try the breakfast.

The family and I just LOVE this place. I'm the cook of the family and when I don't feel like cooking breakfast this is where we go (we drive down from Vallejo.) Always great service, always great food! They have the best coffee and the refills are free! It's a cute spot with tables and some booths and it's bigger than you think (they even have an upstairs area perfect for a small group!) The waitresses are very friendly and attentive! This place is an all around win. It's even located in a great downtown area with plenty to see and do either before and or after eating (the local farmers market is on Sundays!) J

The waitress KIM was phenomenal! She has a winning personality and attentiveness made us feel welcome. The food was fantastic!

Great breakfast, good prices, friendly staff and convenient location with ample street parking make this one of my go to spots! The vibe when you walk is business as usual for a breakfast joint - but they've got a couple fun add ons. The "Jury Box" - we are in downtown Martinez, get it? They've got fun tile floors, a huge specials menu and a nice courtyard. Depending on how heavy you want to go on food the Benedict's are great as well as the hash with the potato sides. On the lighter side the chicken salad is my go to. Don't forget about mimosas and bloodies!

Kim Really made my first visit a good one! Gonna order something else today considering her last recommendation was Fire!

I wish I could rate this place but we came in today and we're not allowed to be seated until the other person in our party showed up. There were plenty of open tables, when I found out the person we were waiting for was still 5 minutes out we decided to go eat somewhere else where we could at least enjoy a cup of coffee while we waited. It's unfortunate that we couldn't have that cup of coffee while we waited there.

Went for a late lunch after picking up a friend from Amtrak. Warm neighborly service with a great variety of grill and Cafe lunch choices. Good food and will come for breakfast which I hear can have a 90 minute wait.

Super cute restaurant in downtown Martinez with authentic diner vibes. We came on a Saturday morning for brunch with no reservation and were seated in less than 20 minutes. The menu is pretty standard, but the specials posted on the wall are anything but! The biscuits and gravy were incredible, and our friend got a waffle sandwich that he said was great - it was massive so more of a fork and knife sandwich than one you can pick up with your hands. My husband got a Bloody Mary with basically everything possible in it, including bacon. He gave that 5 stars. Notably there are basically no vegan options other than hash browns, which our vegan friend didn't realize until we got there. Just a warning in case anyone you'd like to go with is vegan. Overall this is an amazing spot for brunch and we'll definitely be back!

Great server and amazing portions. I got short stack pancakes with butter and boysonberry. I would come back for the pancakes again. Amazing people and service. I highly recommend!

I love this place, they have a great selection for breakfast and lunch. The portions are HUGE and high quality. My favorite is the triple decker club and they have thee BEST French fries EVER. The staff there is soooo nice and it's super clean. If you haven't been, you're missing out!

First time visiting this establishment. Our servers Kim, Davis, Karmen,Danielle, and Bailee were awesome great first impression. We had the The Hookup breakfast and a Iris shot coffee . Kim, the manger on duty runs a good shift. Danielle, thank you especially for your attentiveness; and thank you for being you. We will definitely be back and with the company of many friends. I don't understand the 3.9 rating this establishment is definitely a 5 star. Thank you once again Kim, Karmen and the supporting staff. We highly recommend this small business in Martinez

Food was good service was great had a nice breakfast and mimosas we sat up stairs it was nice

Great service, good food, portions are great. I absolutely enjoyed having brunch at the Copper Skillet. This place is really charming inside and makes one feel right at home. Definitely recommend it and definitely recommend becoming a frequent patron! I gobbled it all up so sad I forgot to take pictures sorry folks

Great food, super-fast service, and friendly staff! Was in and out in thirty minutes and enjoyed every bite. Cozy atmosphere, and with customer coming in in droves by the time I left

Quick Summary: - Super nice and crispy fries - Content portions - Coffee is not sour We arrived inside the restaurant in the afternoon. The restaurant closes around 2-3pm on the weekends, so we arrived there to have time eating at a casual speed. The interior was very cute and cozy. There was outside seating but most of the guests sat inside that day. As we were browsing through the menu we got ourselves a cup of coffee. The staff served the cup with a plate of cream cups. My past experiences with diners have been sour coffees, but the moment I took a sip of the coffee I knew Copper Skillet was going to be good; the coffee was not sour. In fact, I was able to drink it without adding cream. I ordered a hamburger and my relatives ordered sandwiches. We were able to customize the sides, so they chose fries and I decided on today's soup of the day. It was pea soup, and this was how I imagined pea soup to taste like. I liked the semi-smooth texture of the soup. I got to eat a share of my family's fries, and these were really good. They appeared to be thick cuts of zigzag fries, but the outside was crispy and the inside was fluffy. i was also very pleased with the hamburger too. Juicy and the grilled level of the patty was just right. The hamburger size was good for the afternoon hunger level. Overall a good food experience and if I ever visit Martinez again, I would come back here again

Been coming here for since 2006. Always my 2nd fav next to Giant Chef burger in p hill. Always loved Jack and his energy and the OG servers. Welp this day has come that i got rejected when asking to replace spinach for cheese for my omelette lol. I thought the server was joking but she wasn't. Shes new so i had her ask the manager / owner and he declined as well! Lol. No apologies, nothing about it being a new policy. That kind of irked me for some reason. Because this is petty i cant say that i wont be coming back lol but for sure be visiting my #1 Giant Chef Burger in P.Hill. Best breakfast joint in coco county hands down. PS: i didn't take this out on the newbie server. She got her 20% tip and the bar lady got a $20 from me. She rocks! But man courtesy, communication and respect goes a long way. Shame on you... manager.

Came to this place with a friend and got seated as soon as we left a name. Their breakfast is top notch. Drinks are great had a spiked strawberry lemonade that was amazing. They got good breakfast sandwiches as well as platters. The place is small but they can fit you in the right spot. Has a cabin type feeling and great service, always asking questions and making me feel comfortable and welcoming

Copper skillet has been a restaurant in downtown martinez for ages. They are open for breakfast and lunch with a pretty extensive menu and weekly specials listed on a chalkboard. We were able to go to a late breakfast on Father's day for a party of 6 with only a 25 minute wait. Service was still amazingly prompt, efficient and friendly. Our server has been with copper skillet i believe she said over 20 years. The food came out fast and hot. It was all so delicious and amazing portion sizes. You can get a whole bottle of champagne with choice of juice for only $25 during brunch. We will definitely be back as next time I'm looking forward to trying food off the lunch menu.

This was my second time visiting Cooper Skillet. The first time I had a hamburger which was told that was a frozen patty from Costco. So I learned it was more of a breakfast place and ordered biscuits and gravy with eggs which was around $10. We ordered two bottles of the champagne $25 with a cranberry and OJ juice mixture for our mimosas. The biscuits were ok, the gravy didn't have much flavor and was watery. I had to add a lot of pepper and salt! The gravy had these bits of sausages that resembled a texture of hot dogs. Totally turned me off and barely ate it. The ambiance is your old school diner and nothing to rave about. Honestly, I truly wanted to like it since I am a Martinez resident and love breakfast.... After trying it for a second time I truly cant see myself returning.

Cute little find! We enjoyed our food. Nice service! Just wish a few more salad options. We have a few vegans in our family. Definitely give it a try!

Really great breakfast spot with a cute vibe and great service. The michelada was so good as was the food. I wish I lived closer so I can go back more often. Very enjoyable.

I was in Martinez and in the mood for French Toast. I headed downtown to Copper Skillet Courtyard, where I had the delicious 1/2 French Toast breakfast with sausage and bacon, served with terrific service! They have an expansive breakfast and lunch menu and a large board of specials. When I visit Copper Skillet, I feel transported to a mountain restaurant with all the gorgeous wood and leaded glass windows. They also have a semi-private area upstairs for meetings and gatherings. Oh, I almost forgot, yes, they have mimosas and Loaded Bloody Mary's! I got a table immediately, but they are a local favorite, so there might be a bit of a wait.

First time there and the food was terrible hashbrowns were dry crispy and cold. Bacon was tough. Over microwaved waitress came back saw our plates with all the food and never asked what was wrong and on top of that we paid almost $60 for two breakfast.

Another amazing experience (and consistent since the last time we were here was pre-pandemic). This time so had the slinger (so good, savory and filling without feeling heavy afterwards), hubby got the chicken and waffles, kiddos got pancakes. All were delicious with exp exceptional service and even though there was a wait it went by fast. Will be coming back (again).

Some lunch before jury duty was the plan and a club sandwich was the deal. Fries were okay, but the sandwich was exactly what I was looking for. Service was fast during the lunch rush.

The food was amazing as always.. I got the chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs and my daughter got the kids pancake meal but we asked for a chocolate chip pancake and they were able to make it..they don't have freshly squeezed orange juice but the OJ they serve is delicious ..service was a little bunk but nothing to bad .. this is definitely my go to breakfast place % recommend

Was quoted a time frame of 20-30 min for a table of 7. The place was pretty busy ill give them that but after more then an hour of waiting and not being checked on once we just decided to leave. They never came to update us so when we went in and asked he was pretty dismissive and not apologetic. Wont come back here.
