Huckleberry's

Zero Stars* Shame on ya'll for serving people this trash! We had a bad experience with their food quality last year that kept us away for an entire year so trying again. Same results: Ordered Tom's Scramble and Bananas Foster Platter. The Bananas Foster Platter tasted like cigarettes. Inedible. The biscuits in the Tom's Scramble are so old they are harder than bricks. Can't be cut with a knife and fork. And for a finishing touch....they included a long black hair. NASTY! Save your money and stomach and stay away from this dumpster of a restaurant.

This place is awesome. Loved the Louisiana feel to the place. Made me feel like a kid inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland. Highly recommend the Cajun Bennedict eggs. I am a country fried steak for breakfast guy but decided to go for something new. I'm glad I did! I did have a taste of the country fried steak that my sister-in-law ordered. It was very delicious, not the best but definitely not the worst I've had. Staff was nice and friendly. I felt that our waitress could have a bit more personality, reason for the 4 star. Definitely coming back here on our next trip to Benicia.

This is some of the worst breakfast food me and my family have had in a long time. The eggs Benedict were fully cooked. The chicken was cold, gummy, flavorless and small. The French toast was also cold. To top it all off, we had to ask for silverware 4 times, and eventually got plastic silverware, with other tables getting actual silverware. If possible, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. I don’t review places often, but this experience was that bad. Also the parking lot is always packed and there usually is a wait. Check out the Stockton locations as they are much better with food and flavor.

Your usual big diner chain with a New Orleans vibe that leans into Southern cuisine. They even offer beignets and fried tomatoes. Definitely a must try.

I think it’s a nice place with a great atmosphere, but in my opinion, the food is a bit overpriced. The part I don’t like is the service — it’s incredibly slow. One time, I mentioned that I didn’t want bacon in my eggs, but it still came with bacon. I had also ordered toast on the side, and they didn’t bring it until I had already finished eating. In the end, they even charged us for the toast. Of course, we didn’t say anything since we were there with guests, but I really don’t like the service here. I’ve been there twice, and aside from the service, I still think the food is overpriced. The burger patty, though, is very tasty.

Not sure why there's so many people in here. It's super cute, and slow but friendly service. The food description sounded good, but bland as can be. Adding ketchup was too stark of a contrast, but syrup helped rescue my eggs Benedict.

Loved the food it was as expected. New Orleans inspired menu. Portions were great. Huckleberry mimosa was delicious. Good prices as well. Solid spot to have a meal. My booth had a broken seat which is my only real complaint

Food was not good Fat and greasy plate Steak was gross No plate looks like pic Frenchman toast is gross

Our first time there. We were served by Ms Rikki who was a fantastic hostess. The food for my husband, mother-in-law and myself was so delicious. We will come back again! SBP chicken & waffle louisana catfish & chips ribeye steak and potatoes

Huckleberry's is a pretty solid chain breakfast and brunch! It has a Louisiana/New Orleans theme. The other nearest location is probably Fairfield. Unlike the Fairfield location, I have been able to get seated in a reasonable time at the Benicia location. They're popular, but not to the point of waiting 45+ minutes. I believe they're only open during breakfast/brunch times. Parking isn't too difficult if you don't mind walking a little from the main part of the parking center lot. The corner by Huckleberry's is often full. Ive been a couple times and the quality and service have been consistently good. Of the foods I'd recommend the fried green tomatoes and fried okra for starters. They're also one of few places offering beignets. For entrees the crab cake Benedict is good. The portions are filling. Ambiance is very casual. The utensils come in a little paper pouch and the napkins are paper towels on a dowel at each table. This particular location can look a bit dim. I think it's because of the direction of the windows. It's tasty and if you've been to Huckleberry's before you won't be disappointed by this one either.

The food was good. The service was good and place was really nice. The seats could've been a little better too many seats already soiled.

Me and 4 friends had lunch there on a Wednesday. The food was OK and service was a little slow and not as attentive as I would have liked . When the meal was over we were given a single bill not separate checks . I don't blame the server she seemed to be the only one working and the place was very busy . I left not unhappy with my server or my food but I am unhappy with Huckleberries for not staffing their restaurant properly.

The positives: service and ambiance. The negatives: the food was room temp or colder, especially the hash browns. My slice of ham was the only item on both our plates that was warm. The crab cakes and English muffin were rubbery and hollandaise barely passable. We only ate half. It would have all been decent I'm sure if it were to have been served freshly cooked. This was the second chance we gave Huckleberry's in 5+ years as the previous experience wasn't so great either. See ya in 2030?

Food was actually ok. No real complaints about the quality although I had concerns about the eleven thousand ingredients in my husband's Dixieland steak scramble. I had the fish n chips which is catfish and fries with slaw. I asked for one over easy egg but my server just added the egg lol Any, I wanted to go there to eat the fried green tomatoes and they didn't disappoint. I think this would be an another star if we didn't have to wait for everything for so long- even the simplest request like flatware too much longer than would be necessary. The restaurant is older looking than it is and a little drab. I'll stick to the Napa location.

8/11/24 - I was treated out to breakfast to celebrate my cousin who is making a big move to San Francisco to be closer to his job site. As soon as we walked in we were seated. Our waitress asked us about beverages and all five of us got coffee. The waitress let us take our time with the menus because we were engrossed in a conversation about the streets of San Francisco. That is our hometown and the young man moving there was born there but left to move to Vallejo with his parents. I didn't know what to order everything sounded good!!!! I finally decided on an omelette so I opted for the Riverboat. I thought I read the description well, but was surprised to see chili beans and sauce on my omelette. It was very good and came with your choice of red potatoes or hash browns and toast. I opted for hash browns & sourdough toast. The hash browns were very, very good. Most places I have been to the hash browns taste like cardboard, but these were real potatoes and the sourdough toast was good even without the jelly. I noticed that the place was exceptionally busy. Lots of families with grandparents starting their day with a good breakfast. I wanted to try the Huckleberry's in my city but the parking lot was full and from that I surmised that the food must be good!!! Stay tuned I will get there one of these days. The place had a real country & southern feel to it. I looked up and there was a crocodile maybe he was coming from the bayou. I did see a couple drinking some swamp tea. The prices were reasonable & comparable to other restaurants and cafes. It feels good being loved and treated to the simple pleasures of life!!!!

Ew ew ew this food was actually nasty and it didn't taste how it was supposed to, the food was expensive for one, for two they didn't give us any forks.

This is some of the worst breakfast food me and my family have had in a long time. The eggs Benedict were fully cooked. The chicken was cold, gummy, flavorless and small. The French toast was also cold. To top it all off, we had to ask for silverware 4 times, and eventually got plastic silverware, with other tables getting actual silverware. If possible, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. I don't review places often, but this experience was that bad. Also the parking lot is always packed and there usually is a wait. Check out the Stockton locations as they are much better with food and flavor.

This review is solely for service. I entered hoping to look at their senior menu and place a to-go order for a family member, but after a few min I left. I entered to an empty host stand - no biggie. I was seen by a few employees but not acknowledged by anyone or told that someone would be with me shortly. The phone rang and the host reappeared to answer, then proceeded to fully assist the caller. I stood there, still not acknowledged. That's when I got the vibe that my business prob wasn't wanted / needed there so no need to spend my money. There's a difference between short-staffing, which is common these days, and bad customer service basics. I've worked service jobs where we were understaffed but the bare minimum was always to acknowledge the customer, advise that we would be with them shortly, and later apologize for the wait / thank them for their patience. If a customer is already present and the phone rings, typically the call gets placed on hold to help the customer that was already physically present. There's no rule of that operating sequence so of course businesses can operate how they choose. In response, I choose to not return and not to recommend to my relatives and peers. It looked like you can order on DoorDash based on the signage I saw. It's prob a better / more efficient experience. I could have done that and then returned after my errands in the shopping center but I try not to use DoorDash for pick-up/to-go orders because from what I understand most restaurants lose money using it, which sucks for restaurants who may be struggling. Often times to offset that, prices are also higher. My personal preferences aside, I'm sharing it as an option for people who may need quicker/more efficient service.

One of my favorite breakfast places! We always order beignets to start (highly recommend) and then normally get a savory dish to split. I love the crab Benedict but my boyfriend prefers the andouille sausage. If you're into sweet coffee then take advantage of their Carmel macchiato or mocha with their fresh whip cream. If you prefer a sweet fruity drink then their lemonades with a sugar rim will be right up your alley. As big of a Disneyland nerd I am, I love coming here to act like I'm in New Orleans square lol! The ambiance just makes me happy. As for the service, it was fast & kind! Didn't feel rushed at all.

Once you're seated at Huckleberry's the delicious food, time warp theme, and quick service is beyond expectation. It took a lot more time than usual to be greeted and seated (they seemed a little understaffed i.e the server was also host). Also, to be fair, my partner and I walked in on a disgruntled interaction that the server was recovering from so ofc we understood why we were missed at first. Once we sat in a large, comfy booth we looked over the exciting list of NOLA-inspired dishes, filled with your delightful favorites like omelettes and breakfast platters with a Louisiana twist. We were served and treated with the utmost custimer service. We came with an appetite and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. My belly was so wide eyed that I forgot to take a pic of my Riverboat omelette! I did remember to get one of my half of stuffed french toast with strawberry topping (we shared). Overall, I plan to return to try out their lunch menu. Whats not to love!

We had been aware of Huckleberry's but had never gone before. We had assumed it was an analog of Denny's, which it was definitely not. Tucked away in the back of the Southhampton shopping center, we were surprised that it was much larger than it seemed and had a funky southern charm and decor. They only do breakfast and lunch. The breakfast choices aren't a carbon copy of other places. Instead of a straight egg Benedict, they have a crab-cake Benedict. It was tasty, but I'll explore some other variations on a Benedict next time. The others in our group explored the skillet hotties, which got a solid thumbs up. They also had variations on Mimosas that were a fun change of pace. The place was very crowded and busy, but our server was still attentive and kept everything flowing. We will definitely check them out again.

After completing a notary signing, my husband and I usually stop in for a bite to eat. My favorite dish is the Crab Cake Benedict. My husband ordered the New Orleans Skillet. Both were delicious and well prepared. I'd like to direct the manager's attention to our server, Perin. From the minute we were seated, Perin was friendly and energetic. I wish more servers were personable like Perin. He was extremely attentive to our needs and checked on us frequently. Unlike Perin, however, the hostess could not be found when we were trying to pay our bill. This isn't the first time we experienced one of her disappearing acts. In the end, Perin had to do her job too! Manager please take note that this young man is juggling many work duties in addition to his own!

The omelette was great! I really liked the filling as well as the hollandaise sauce on top of it. Drinks were amazing and refreshing as well. Could've been a 5 star however, the crepe was too sweet and I usually don't mind sweet so I think that speaks for itself. Also, a portion of my hash browns were more cooked on one side and had a slightly burnt taste but ketchup helped :) I really liked the toast and their butter is sooo good. I usually ask for extra butter on the side too!

Breakfast is always so yummy! Service can be a little slow on Sundays, but the customer service definitely makes up for that. Generous portions for reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

Really bad, food was awful, greasy and cold. This place used to be to be good, not sure what happened. Will never go back.

I ordered a classic breakfast with sausage and sourdough toast, and a side of fresh beignets. I asked for over medium eggs but they were over easy. The hash browns were good though and the two sausage links weren't bad. The sourdough toast was good and well buttered. The beignets were not really beignets but a fluffy dough concoction -not my fave. Service however was excellent and the ambiance with the background zydeco music was authentic feeling and it seemed clean and well run.

Love the atmosphere , server is great! Food is okay but Pricey for $17 on French toast and it is too sweet. I guess everything now is pricey.

I always forget about this place. It's a diner with a southern twist. The wait was about 20-30 minutes. Once we were seated our server came out to get our drink orders which gave us time to check the menu. I went with an eggs Benedict dish, hubby got a waffle combo and we also got some fried green tomatoes. Everything came out hot and fresh. I enjoyed my dish and hubby says his was ok and we both liked the fried green tomatoes. While we thought the food was ok, it was not shouting for us to come back. Nice to know it is there thought. D it was a pleasant experience for us. I'

Ordered beignets and they were horrible cooked in old grease got so sick sausage was so dry I couldn't chew it

Great breakfast/ brunch fare. We all three heartily enjoyed our meals. Our server/ cashier was super sweet ( thank you Megan!) and kept us informed as to our orders progress and checked on us as to our needs or wants. Our Cook did an amazing job. I ordered the Stacked Chicken and Waffles. It came with whipped butter and was seasoned just right. The perfect combination of sweet and savory. Our boy had a cheeseburger that he was all too happy to devour. Hubs ordered the Cajun Benedict. He was very happy with each component. We both enjoyed the Carmel macchiato. One hot, one iced. We each agreed that they were sweetened perfectly. Highly recommend Huckleberries. 2-3 people were able to run this establishment so successfully. I'm sure more help came as the day wore on. But the thing is, well trained, dedicated staff made our infrequent splurge to dine out an absolute joy. We really had fun and the good food was the "icing on the cake"!

Been here of couple of times, most recently on Father's Day. Food and service were good. My family and I truly enjoy having breakfast outside of regular diners. We waited approximately an hour and 20 minutes to get sat for a party of 5, which was understandable. We also then waited 2 hours for our food to come out. We were happy to be sat but there's no point in continuing to seat people if the kitchen is over an hour backed up.

So the service was great, the place was clean and it was nice a big, easy for me to manage two kids under four in a big booth by myself. But, the food was pretty disappointing, the pizza sticks seemed frozen, the fries were too salty and the Monte Cristo was very average, although I did eat the whole thing. The fried chicken strips in the kids meal were the best thing we had for sure although the kids were thrilled with their fruit and juices. Good in a pinch but there are many better options in the area.

Meh.. its okay. Not the best. The stuffed french toast was my favorite so far and it is very fulfilling. The huckleberry's were good. The lunch sandwich, I was not really a fan of. The meat just tasted funny. Service and ambience was good. Overally, its okay, but would I go there again. Maybe not, unless im craving the stuffed french toast again (which was the only good thing)!

I will start off by saying that I have been to this Huckleberry's a few times and had better experiences in the past- hence the 3 stars, but this time we had a poor experience. I will be back at some point, but would probably avoid on the weekends in the future. What we ordered: #1 Strawberry Waffle #2 Chicken fried Steak combo with eggs over medium, potatoes, (subbed pancake for the biscuit cause they were out of biscuits) #3 Hucks Combo (half waffle, bacon, 2 eggs) and added potatoes The Good- The Strawberry Waffle was enjoyed The Chicken fried steak from the combo was delish The Bad- The hucks combo was missing to added potatoes The CFS combo was missing the pancake and the eggs had broken and leaked all over the plate. Asked for eggs to be replaced, and waitress seemed annoyed. Once she got the replacement eggs, she disappeared for a while. Waters were never refilled. Finally flagged someone else down to let them know we were still missing items. Be the time they arrived we it was probably 10 minutes after were done with the rest of the meal. The Ugly- When the pancakes arrived they were burnt (see pic) and kinda hard, not soft and fluffy. One of our forks had gunk on it when we pulled it out of the pack they put it in. I eventually asked for the manager so that i could let her know about our experience. She made things right by taking the potatoes and pancakes off the bill, and still replaced the pancakes. I forgot to take pic of the stuff we did like because i was annoyed about everything else

The food and service were wonderful. I was happy to see friends i haven't seen in a while and this was the perfect spot.

First time delivery. Expected southern cooking. Received breakfast for 2, delivered to hotel. 2 omelets, beignet, and biscuit. Greasy, unseasoned, and no flatware or napkins.

Not eating here again!!! Got seated at my table. Wait a while on a Sunday afternoon to place my order (haven't even been offered drinks). I looked around and noticed a guy across the room getting his drink and order first (he was the party before me). I finally ordered and received my food and drinks. I noticed I didn't receive utensils. I waited awhile again while my food was sitting there. I asked for no butter on top of my waffles and it came with butter on top (no biggie at all since mistakes happen). It was a bit hot so I finished my drink and waited for a refill. Waiter took my drink and told me she'll get me a refill. I waited and waited, my refill never arrived. Finally, I gave up without my refill and finished my food. My mouth was super dry. I asked for my bill and informed the waiter and the host that I would be giving a 20% tip out of kindness, but these are the things that needs to corrected. Never again.

Food was alright. Price a little higher for a diner style eatery, but the portions were generous, so I suppose it balanced out if you prefer more carbs than quality. Service was lacking a little only because water or drinks were not offered to me when they delivered food and obviously I didn't have a anything to wash down the waffle and chicken dish they placed in front of me. Granted I sat down after my friends were already seated. That's the difference between okay service vs great service...management should've have trained servers to notice the details at each table and they didn't. Most likely won't go back since it doesn't offer to die for food worth traveling for. I met up with friends who chose the spot and I drove 18 mins there. As a first timer, I'd pass. However it was okay if you're in the area. Ambiance was Denny's franchise diner style with a bit more signature items IMO.

Lovely place and super close to home! Truly a local delight. My breakfast burrito was large and beautiful but the proportion of sauce to burrito was light. Cynthia brought me more and she served our table well! While the burrito was huge, it was also a bit dry but not so dry that the yummy Cajun sauce couldn't fix it! I will be back to give it another go soon!

This place is great! There are so many good things on the menu, it's a struggle to decide what to get. Don't let the long line scare you. You get seated fast, and the food comes out quick!

Louisiana style food. We always get the fried green tomatoes as our appetizer. They always seem to be short staffed, but we always have it kind that we're just going to take our time not be in a rush when we go. One of my favorite items is their take on chicken and waffles!

First time eating in here and im glad we did! Service and food were amazing. Our server was very courteous and professional. Too bad i didnt get her name. I ordered the cajun benedict which had the sausage, egg benedict and cajun sausage. My wife ordered vanilla creme crepe. Both of them I have tried and can't complain on the quality and taste. The serving size was good enough to share with someone. The indoor seating and ambiance also meet my expectations. Only thing they need to improve on is the speed of service, however it is posted on the outside door that wait times may be longer. Also, it was a little too cold when we visited. Over all, still 5 stars and would come back!

Finally got to try what a huckleberry tastes like, reminds me of blueberries but less tart. Anyway, came here for a quick bite for breakfast. From the outside, you can tell it has some age to it and it's a classic. We came on a Monday morning so we were surrounded by a lot of older folks. Also, it wasn't the most diverse patronage in there which made me feel a little weird but F it! I ordered the cajun benedict with hashbrowns which was bomb. However, the poached eggs were overdone, my pet peeve. They used a thick sourdough bread instead of english muffin which was a treat! I also tried the huckleberry waffle which took a day and a half to get to us but that is probably the only thing I would order again, hold on the whipped cream. It was perfection and huckleberry on top was a great finisher. It's a great diner, lots of decor to transport you to some place else, and affordable. Would it be my first choice? Probably not.

I don't usually write reviews but this is the 3rd day in a row that I got a perfectly cooked breakfast. My over easy eggs were exactly as I would expect, white completely cooked & yoke soft & runny. The hash browns were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The bacon was crispy without being overdone. I should have taken a picture before I ate it but here's the result.

A friend and I went last month. Let's just say I cook better at home. Beignets were definitely reheated. My friend ordered a steak and it tasted as if cooked on a dirty grill/pan. I Had the country fried steak. Nice portions but no flavor. New Orleans no where on site. Save your money if you're from southern part of the US, lol.

Always great food and good friendly service. An overall enjoyable dining experience. My favorite? The crab cake benedict.

Good breakfast, my boyfriend and I come here when we're feeling like southern comfort and are never disappointed. Cute ambiance and good service.

Overall, my experience at this establishment was quite positive. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly. However, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable by the presence of uniformed police officers throughout the restaurant. As an individual who values inclusivity and believes in the need for police reform, it was disheartening to be surrounded by a symbol of violence. While I understand the importance of security, I would encourage the management to reconsider their decision to have a constant police presence. Creating an environment that feels safe and welcoming for everyone, regardless of their background, is crucial in today's society. I hope the establishment takes this feedback into consideration and finds alternative ways to ensure the safety of their patrons without compromising their overall dining experience. Until cops feel as uncomfortable as they make everyone sane person feel every establishment that serves them will receive a 1 star.

In my entire life, I don't think I've ever gotten worse service than here today. I ordered food for pickup to be done at 1205. I arrive around noon, and food was handed at 1225. Timing isn't the issue, in the 25-30min I sat there, I got 1 check in at 1220. Another couple was waiting just to be seated for nearly 30min without aknowledgement. They must have no staff but you need to add a bell or some alert in the front but to have people waiting 20-30min without a single person even saying hello is ridiculous. To make things worse, my food is bland, they don't even season their eggs and I asked for salt and pepper packets and got none. -__-

Great food, fast service, wonderful customer service! Place is clean and well maintained.

Came here on a Saturday for brunch with some friends. There wasn't too long of a wait and parking can get a little tight, located within a plaza in Benicia. Ok brunch spot for all American/creole type of place. We started off with the Mardi Gras beignets, 3 that had fruit. We all ordered different things-- I got the crab Benedict (kind of burnt), shrimp po boy, chicken strips and fries, cup of jambalaya and stuffed French toast. The food came out pretty quickly, the restaurant is pretty spacious and the service is great and friendly. The food is ok as it is a wide variety but it's more of a franchise type of restaurant/diner. Over the weekends this place gets busy. They also serve alcoholic drinks too.

Worst service and food last 3 visits! Benicia usually doesn't fail!!! Well they did know. This is the exact same thing that happened to the restaurant that was there before Country Waffle. Sucks one of the best breakfast places!!!

I eat a pretty healthy diet on a daily basis. So, I decided to splurge, and get a crab cake benedict and the mardi gras beignets. I hadn't eaten here in a while and I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, nothing tasted as good as I remembered it. Best I could say was both of these items tasted bland to me. I will likely not be ordering food there again, which is very disappointing.

This was my first-time eating here. The service was quick and the waitress was friendly. I ordered the iced Caramel Macchiato which was delicious and for breakfast I had the praline pancakes with the bayou potatoes, eggs and sausage which was delicious and filling.

My family and I went out to eat for Sunday mornings breakfast. We have been coming here for quite some time. However, their service is no longer wait it used to be. We had to wait 30 minutes for our food and it came out cold.

The crab cake Benedict here is the best I've ever had in a restaurant! Some of the workers here are more enthusiastic than others and sometimes the food may take a while and may lack consistency, if it weren't for those two things I would say it is the perfect place to get Cajun food. They have a large selection menu as well so if you have a bad experience you may have just came on a bad day because on a good day the food is excellent!

There food has gotten better over the years. It would be better of they had more tables compared to booths for the well fed people. But enjoy going there.
