First time here. I had the pancake breakfast. Saved 1 pancake & 1 bacon for breakfast tomorrow. Large portions. Great service. A homey dining room. Lots of parking. We will be back.

Food was so flavorful. Added bacon to my Denver omelet and it was perfection. Husband loved the chicken fried steak. Definitely coming back whenever we are in town.

My girlfriend & I had breakfast this morning at a cute place with a "homie" feeling. I had the two egg omelette with cheese & home fries. My girlfriend had French toast with hash browns. I would definitely come back again. Great service!

Hidden gem, because of its inconspicuous location. Off Waterman and Dino (commercial building) the name also makes me think hot dog. Staff is friendly with big smiles! Twin sisters run the place with a family atmosphere. Nice decor and super clean. The breakfast is classic American. Fresh food and great portions. I had the Farmers scramble with a pancake. I'm looking forward to going back for the same thing. My daughter had hash browns, eggs with biscuits and gravy, she enjoyed her meal too. Can't wait to go back!

Another place I use to go to Mel Dog's Cafe 9766 Waterman Rd, Ste B, Elk Grove, CA 95624. It has been years so today I decided to check it out. This restaurant is in an industrial complex so a bit hard to find. I walked into a pretty full restaurant being served by one server. It was about 8:15 AM and I thought this was going to be slow service. Not at all! I was seated, drinks delivered and order taken pretty quick. The server seemed to know everyone. She was obviously very experienced so I went with her suggestion of a California Omelette. At 9:00 AM other servers showed and started helping her. This omelette was made military style, very thin egg wrap with fresh ingredients. Another thing I liked was the large mug for my tea, which was refilled as needed with hot water. The potatoes, pancakes and everything else was spectacular. The Chef in the back obviously took great care in its preparation. The home made salsa was incredible. The ambience is a very clean, well laid out restaurant. They have nice tables and chairs that were properly spaced. The only negative thing I have to add are the huge portions they give. A great place for breakfast or lunch that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Such a unique atmosphere to dine at! From the outside, it didn't look like much, but enter into a place with tons of amusing decor to roam your eye's through. No walls were untouched with art. The ceiling is made up of business cards. Walked into a house full of seniors enjoying their lunch. It was such an wholesome environment. Restroom was so clean it looked untouched. Food is very homestyle. French toasts were very interesting, reminded me of a pancake-toast hybrid. Food was good. Pricing is very reasonable. Service was spectacular! Looks like a family owned and operated business. Give this place a try, it's a green light from me.

Great customer service with a smile & friendly service from the time you walk in, get seated, then place your order. You can tell it's family owned and the workers there have been there for a while and they seem to have the regular customers coming in & of course some new ones. Located in a plaza, so parking is not an issue but, if it didn't say cafe on it, you would probably miss the place. Happy we stopped in to enjoy the yummy dishes & good o'l employees who seem to love their job, their on top of refills when you run low & always coming to your table to check in & make sure everything is all right. Food is good & worth the money your spend.
