Marlene & Glen's Dead Fly Diner

A little late posting since we went here on Valentine's Day. We were seated right away since we had a reservation. Was not too busy when we were first seated but it started filling up quickly. There were only 3 menu choices but that was ok with us. Only one waitress handling whole restaurant but she was quick,very friendly and laughed and smiled the whole evening! She did have a little help with other staff serving drinks,soups and salads to other guests. Overall, customer service was great!! Food was good as well. My steak was cooked perfectly and husband said his chicken Alfredo was delicious!! This was a Valentine's Day special and in our opinion it was delicious and price was reasonable. Hubby liked it so much he wants to go again! Restaurant was pretty basic diner but they did decorate it for Valentine's Day. Restaurant was clean and pretty spacious. As I stated we will be going back again, probably for lunch.

I died and was reincarnated three times before I got served in here. I'm honestly thinking of opening a funeral home next door to capitalize on the sheer number of people who must pass away to the next world while awaiting their omelets and toast.If you're planning on a nice Sunday breakfast, take your seat by Thursday at the latest. There's order tickets hanging in the kitchen from the Reagan presidency. How many tips are these poor girls earning from skeletons? In all seriousness I honestly can't fathom the high number of positive reviews. My family and I have been here several times and each time was more or less the same experience... inexplicably MASSIVE wait times. We came in one morning at 8.30am. There were maybe 6 other people in total. An HOUR later and we still hadn't even had a glimpse of the food. There were plenty of other tables also looking as hangry and bemused as us at the ridiculous wait. I clearly heard one lady say "what the f--- is taking so long" to her frustrated but polite husband. We are local and have had this experience every time (7/8 visits). We kept going back to give it another shot as we love to support local. We had been avoiding it for months lately but recently gave it another shot as it was half empty and we were optimistic. We will never come here again. The wait staff are friendly and hard working and are great people trying to do a solid job. The cooks also seem like great dudes, honestly. But HOLY MOLY I (and most people) have a life to live and don't have 2.5 hours to spare for a simple breakfast. The owners will take to Facebook to tell you it's because the food is fresh and cooked to order. My man, this isn't a Michelin starred restaurant it's a cafe on a traffic circle. How fresh can a sausage link really be? Your customers aren't cranky or impatient, your service is just poor. Seriously. Come here if you have a huge amount of time to waste. If not, try somewhere else a few extra miles away in Jackson or Placerville.

I loved the strawberry milkshake that we had and all of the decorations inside of the place. Waitress was nice and accommodating. Would come back!

Four of us stopped for breakfast at 8 on a Sunday. Our server Jen was on it and very helpful. One of us had the waffles and they were very tough and could not be cut with a fork. My sister who has been making waffles for many years says it because they mixed the mix to much. Jen appreciated knowing that but the cashier wasn't so open to hearing any advice. The other three meal were a sold 3 stars.

What a pleasant little diner stop for lunch while traveling through Plymouth. We stopped through yesterday to grab a bite while waiting for our scheduled wine tasting at Scott Harvey. When we walked in, we were allowed to pick our seat at a booth in the corner and also unexpectedly ran into one of Paul's friends there who was out on a motorcycle ride. How fun! Must mean we found a good place! We were brought giant mugs of ice water and we put in our order. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich ($16) which was on a fluffy brioche style bun, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayo. It also came with a big portion of fries, I chose beer battered, yum! They were super crispy and hot. The food was all served hot and fresh. The chicken on my sandwich was actually two chicken strips versus a chicken fillet, but it was still good. Paul ordered a western burger ($18) with beer battered fries and it was HUGE! Stacked with onion rings, bacon, and BBQ sauce on the same brioche style bun. Pickles tomatoes red onion and lettuce was also on the cheese burger. I tried a bite and it was well seasoned meat and used the "good" bacon. He swore he wouldn't be able to finish it but he did. Ha. The restaurant is Coke and CA Diner themed. There's an old jute box in the corner that I don't think is plugged in but I would love to see it light up. The server was so nice and helpful. Nice little stop to get some "real" food versus just charcuterie at the wineries. I hope to try Breakfast next time!

Best breakfast ever!! We go there while we camp at the 49er Village. Never been disappointed.

So we have been here a lot, before and after the owner change. Unfortunately, it's always had the same problem: the service is so incredibly slow. It's not the wait staff, but rather the kitchen. We have waited two hours here before, and swore it would be our last time coming in (we're local). We decided to try it one more time today, however, and it was much of the same. We watched food fly out to tables of the same size who were seated well after we were, as we went on an hour of waiting. It's ever. Single. Time. Don't bother with this place, honestly. It will take too long for the food. They HAVE to sort it out. It's a chronic problem.

So the owner is training next generation a 16 year old, and the employees are clearly very happy. Honestly enjoy these people and haven't even got food yet! Repainted clean and cheerful! Tatters excellent and perfect Crisp. Cooked as ordered. Reasonable prices and just how many restaurants do you get your own fly swatter!

Great food and service with a classic diner experience. The omelette, egg scramble and biscuits and gravy were delicious. Perfect start to wine tasting day.

Best, and I mean the very best breakfast in the area! Super friendly owner, terrific waitstaff, and the best darn diner cooks around. Also, the Coca-Cola Decor is to die for. You just won't find a better breakfast than this!
