Susie's Country Oaks Café has a very simple, straight-forward motto and mission in life: Country Cookin' ... which pretty well sums up this wonderful eatery in Granite Bay, CA, just east of Roseville.
We actually visited this fine restaurant a couple of years ago, and I'm now just getting around to posting the review on Yelp.
My wife and I arrived at a lightly seated on a mid Saturday morning, and we were invited to sit anywhere we chose. We looked over the breakfast menu - Susie's is open for breakfast and lunch - I chose the "Ranch Hand" breakfast, which is definitely a full breakfast, and she chose a smaller breakfast of "Southern Scramble."
The "Ranch Hand" breakfasts include biscuits and gravy - my de facto standard side dish - two fried eggs, over easy, home fries (Susie's-speak for potatoes,) and linguica. Oh!!!! The breakfast was sooo good! Sharlene ordered a half order of "Southern Scramble" which was a scramble dish, served in a small frying pan, consisting of scrambled eggs with diced sausage, mushrooms, onions, topped with a combination of jack and cheddar cheese. She opted for home fries and, rare for her, biscuits and gravy. Sharlene commented how the biscuits were light and fluffy, and how good the gravy was... I concur with her observation!
Great breakfast! Both of our orders were cooked perfectly, as ordered, and were both filling and delicious. Combine great food with friendly service, and Susie's rates a solid 4 Starts on Yelp.
