    What an amazing place! We stopped here for lunch on our way to Mendocino and highly recommend stopping to everyone around the area! Its a cute little place that is family owned and run, the food served is graciously good portion and delicious! I tried their pesto chicken caprese sandwich and it was amazing! Each of their ingredients felt like they were homemade. The coffee was superb too!

    This is a solid 4. Completely solid. I love the diner atmosphere and the general cozy vibe as well as the food they offer here. Definitely recommend the Benedict if you want a savory sauce. Though, like all 4 star places, not all of their food was amazing. The quality is a lot better than Denny's but it's also not the greatest diner food imaginable. Price is similar to Denny's. The service was a bit slow, probably because there was exactly one server, but it wasn't the worst.

    Pete’s Henny Penny does not disappoint. It’s a tiny local Sonoma County restaurant that is always busy and has great food. Waitstaff is friendly and hustling. Great eclectic mix of people eating here. Large portions on the food. I’d probably share a plate in the future. One of the best biscuits I’ve had at any restaurant, and I’ve eaten them all over the country. Highly recommend for breakfast or brunch.

    Great food. I had the chilaquiles with chorizo, and kids had the smile pancakes

    Passing through Petaluma and were just looking for a place with good variety. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. They had no problem with us sharing a spaghetti dinner, which came with salad and two delicious pieces of garlic bread. My sister had a glass of Highway 12 blended red and said it was the perfect complement to the food. Lupe was our server and was the absolute best! So friendly, chatted with us for a bit and kept us updated on the status of our food. If we lived locally, we would be regular customers. Thank you for a wonderful break from our hectic vacation!
