Janet's Montana Cafe 2506 Alpine Boulevard, Alpine, CA 91901

"The building is inviting and the staff are friendly and attentive. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The parking lot gets full on Sunday. The restrooms were well kept. As for the food itself, it seemed made with fresh ingredients, but the taste was a bit lacking, at least in the eggs. I ordered the Asparagus Scramble (Sunday special). While I really appreciate the mix of fresh veggies, it tasted a bit bland. Adding some spiciness would go a long way towards improvement. Someone in my party ordered the machaca burrito; it was mostly filler potato with a bit of shredded beef. The pancakes and the biscuits are huge. We ordered a half-serving of biscuits and gravy, and it was still enormous. They didn't scrimp on the hash browns and home fries portions."

"Cute little cabin lodge style restaurant like in the snowy mountains. Except it doesn’t snow around here. It has a nice parking lot with indoor and outdoor seating. Not that large of a dining room which I expect it to have a wait on busy days. To me, the food was average. It’s the service and ambiance that takes it over the top. Super friendly and attentive. I’m a sucker for eggs Benedict and got the Egg Benedict country style - choice of hash brown, fruit or home fries. It’s a sausage patty served on a super soft square biscuit smothered in gravy. The gravy is not salty like other places and has the right thickness. Country fried steak - choice of hash brown, fruit or home fries. Choice of toast or upgrade to biscuit and gravy. We upgraded. We also got Hazelnut mocha and peppermint mocha. Make sure you stir evenly because the syrups are stuck at the bottom. The desserts and pies looked so tasty but we were stuffed!"

"Janet's Montana Cafe was a delight to experience! On a rainy day at the beginning of this year, my friend and I brought our hunger and we enjoyed what we ordered. We ordered the Italian Sausage and the veggie omelets. They were both hefty and delicious. Then I also ordered the Boysenberry pie. It was fruity and tart in all the right ways. The decor was homey and comforting. The customer service was excellent! Pedro was our server, he was friendly and accurate. Also, the hostess at the entrance was great as well. These people make this restaurant a must. I will definitely be back. Eat up!!!"

"Hands down you must eat here!! Super cute little diner! Excellent service!! Oh my this food was top notch!! I rarely find a place that is a better cook than me, but this place had amazing cooks! I wish I had more room to eat even more delicious food! I can’t wait until I’m in the area again so I can eat here again!"
