    Foothills Café is worth the stop for breakfast. A locals' place for sure, with warm hospitality offered by the owner's family and comfort food at its best. After tasting our order I was surprised there wasn't a line out the door. We ordered the linguica burrito, Denver omelet and chorizo omelet. The burrito was huge. Unless you are in the mood for a lumberjack size breakfast I recommend sharing these monstrosities. The omelets were both excellent with lots of flavor.

    Good hard working people with great attitudes. Great food also. Massive portions, quality and quantity. I don't give 5 stars because we can all improve.

    I HIGHLY suggest you get the biscuits and gravy or add the gravy on your breakfast. One of the best I’ve ever had. Owner was slammed so that’s why service wasn’t 5 stars but if I’m in town I will be returning. You won’t be disappointed. I got the ‘Logger breakfast’

    Always a warm and friendly welcome. The menu offers an array of outstanding, fresh and tasty dishes. Portions are plenty so there's no leaving hungry. Stop in and enjoy a meal. While there say hello to Violet, the owner and Jose, the cook. They both do an outstanding job!
