Baldie's Café

Outstanding customer service and wonderful atmosphere! The pie, ice cream, and coffee are a 10/10!

My favorite hidden gem. Their clam chowder is amazing!! The service is always great. And the vibe has always been a relaxing diner. I come for the country fried steak and eggs which is always cooked to my liking and isnt mushy or extra spiced like black bear. They have the best coffee I have ever had at a diner. And they have set the standard for what a great diner feels like.

Union City staple/institution. Law enforcement plus firefighters are regulars here which tells you something.Is there a signature dish or an amazing out of this world dish, no I wouldn't say so. But...everything is very very solid and the food comes out quick. If there is a line outside don't be deterred since they get people in and out of the place quickly due to the speed the food comes out.I don't go here very often but have friends and family in the area who adore this venue. Combination of factors including ambiance , price/value, generous portions, speed, friendliness of staff and the owners/family are great people as well make this a 5 star in my book.

Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale.5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews)

Good breakfast/lunch food and the price is really good for huge plates! It's a sit down diner and the staff is really nice. They came to check up on us often and made sure our coffee and water cups are always full.There can be a wait if you come during peak hours, but the longest we've waited was about 15 min. You can expect lots of locals coming here as Baldie's been here for some time. The parking lot can get busy, but we haven't had issues finding spots.

Excellent food & servers welcoming and efficient! Delicious breakfasts, (Omelets, Pancakes, Waffles,) Lunches, (French Dip, Burgers, Salads, Soups,) and Dinners (each day of the week they have different specials), my favorite - Thursday night Corn beef & Cabbage dinner--includes: Salad or soup, corn beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots & dessert!

We stopped by for a spontaneous pick-me-up date, and overall, it was a pretty good experience. We didn't have to wait, even though the place seemed busy since they had a lot of seating. I love the whole diner vibe so that added to the beauty of this place.We ordered the classic steak and eggs with hashbrowns, but the staff also offered to place an order for a secret menu item: eggs Benedict with different fillings. Honestly, if you're visiting, I highly recommend trying the eggs Benedict over the regular steak and eggs--it was fantastic! A great option for a Sunday morning brunch!

I've always loved Baldies, I have no clue why I haven't reviewed them before. Baldies is and will always be a staple of the community. We go whenever we're craving some wholesome, delicious, perfectly cooked food. My go to is the Chicken Fried Steak. It always comes perfectly cooked and seasoned. The hash brown could use a bit more salt but that could just be a personal preference. My husband always gets their Hot Turkey Sandwich and he loves it. He orders extra gravy with it and it is delicious. The reason for the review is we ordered catering for a small women's get together at my mother in laws house and everything was not only affordable but DELICIOUS. She ordered 15 plates of food but they came in catering trays of course. We had eggs, hash-brown, bacon, sausage, waffles, pancakes and toast. With that they gave us 2 large syrup and butter containers with brand new ketchup bottles and plenty of jelly for the toast. All of this was for a reasonably low price for 15 people. We were extremely pleased with everything they provided. The only complaint we had was the hash brown was supposed to be half country potatoes but all and all we were happy and had more than enough food. Can't wait to visit them once again and will definitely keep them in mind for our next get together.

I've driven by this place many times and am so glad I finally went in. It's non descript from the outside but very open, clean and updated on the inside. Parking is easy as there is a lot with free parking just steps away from the door. We had breakfast here but there are various fun specials for each day and made the menu interesting and me planning to come back and try more items!

Let me start off by saying this place has a oldSchool diner feel. The waiters are amazing! Rhonda specifically is a sweat heart. Attentive, informative and kept the coffee on coming. I had the corn beef hash and it was made to perfection. My mom had steak and eggs, which was also cooked perfectly at medium well. Prices are very reasonable and affordable at time when everything seems to be going up. This place is a MUST for the whole family or just a quick bite alone. Important to mention coffee was fresh and my cup never went under half empty. Put this on your list of next places to try.

Came to Baldies a few days ago for the first time in a while... Just as great as I remembered it. The price is really good for the portion, and the wait staff was absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to another visit!
