Country Inn Cafe

Enjoyed the new outdoor patio. Their souffle style omelettes are really good. Portions are very generous.

We were running errands in the neighborhood so decided to try this place for lunch. Even though Country Inn is part of its name, we figured it wasn't one of the Holder's chain. Interestingly, the menu was almost identical to theirs: layout, dishes, etc. Having lived a short walk from Mission City Grill (perhaps Holder's flagship restaurant) we were extremely well versed with their offerings and bore them in mind as a point of comparison. We both got breakfast plates. Immediately we noticed portions were a bit smaller, like only one slice of toast each. The hash browns, however, came out tastier. The food was fine but I became aware of my growing discomfort. There was no air circulation of any kind—completely lacking air conditioning—which became more bothersome the longer we sat. It wasn't even that hot outside, maybe 77 degrees at most. To compound this problem, after we finished eating the manager took our payment and handed it off to someone at the cashier's station then resumed making conversation with other customers. This went on for 10-15 minutes until else someone noticed us desperately waiting and rang us up. Overall a middling experience. If you're in the area hungry for breakfast or lunch, this might do. If you are closer to a different Country Inn, take that opportunity for a more comfortable meal

This is North Beach's best kept secret for breakfast-it is not pretenious or have lines for 2 hours. The best coffee around and great breakfast plates in a quiet location. The price is fairly reasonable for San Jose. Our waiter was the best. We all had different dishes and like them all.

Service was notably friendly and quick, corned beef hash was delicious.
