Welcome to The Red Caboose Café, a charming breakfast spot nestled in the heart of Clovis, California. This delightful café is not just a place to grab a bite; it embodies the spirit of home-cooked goodness and the warmth of community.

The café's menu offers a delightful array of breakfast and lunch options, focusing on hearty, comforting dishes that will surely put a smile on your face. Picture starting your day with the J.D. Omelet, a delicious blend of hamburger beef, cheese, and savory enchilada sauce, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. For those craving something crisp and fresh, the B.N.A. Express Sandwich delivers a delightful balance of crispy bacon and creamy avocado, though perhaps with just a tad more lettuce as a gentle suggestion from our loyal patrons.

If you have a penchant for indulgence, dive into the café's Train Wreck pizzas, an explosion of flavor with loads of toppings like pepperoni, Canadian bacon, and artichoke hearts - perfect for sharing with friends or family. And don’t forget to save room for dessert! The Deep Dish Pies and luscious Strawberry Shortcake are not to be missed, each bite offering a flaky crust or tender biscuits that melt in your mouth.

The ambiance at The Red Caboose Café is as inviting as its menu. Adorned with cheerful, nostalgic decor that pays homage to the spirit of Americana, you’ll feel a sense of comfort and belonging as soon as you step through the doors. Customers often remark about the friendly service, noting the staff's attentiveness and genuine care, like one reviewer stated, “You definitely feel at home here.”

I ordered the J.D. Omelet; hamburger beef, cheese, and enchilada sauce. Hubby ordered the B.N.A express sandwich; bacon and avocado. The only complaint is that the BNA needed more lettuce. Other than that, everything was delicious! Our waitress Melinda was very nice and attentive!!!

A few months ago, i had a delightful 1/2 chicken cob salad. It had a good portion of shredded roasted or baked chicken. Following i ordered again but was given turkey lunch meat when i asked for chicken. Last week again asked for chicken and received this terrible mess of fried, breaded, uneatable chicken. Seems like it could have been an afterthought or left from someone else's order, just terrible. It was on what could have been a delightful salad. Oh the bacon wasn't as good as it had been prior either. The bacon this time was a bit soggy and chewy. I gave it to the dog. Tuesday Dec 3rd, take out. I would have given less stars, but i know you can do better. People ordering a salad don't usually want a bunch of fried crumbs. It didn't even have much meat in it.

The place is a nice, above average breakfast spot located way out toward Sanger in Clovis. It's decorated with a bunch of cheesy patriotic type stuff, but it's nice enough. The food was great. I had a nice sized sausage omelette which came with country potatoes and I got the biscuits and gravy, which was a bit bland. The service was good even though the place was pretty packed. If I'm out there again, I'd go back.

It's an old place. We like going there as a family, though. We know what we like from this place. I gave it 4 stars because their waffles were missing sugar, and the waffles were very dense. My husband did not eat them. Overall yummy options. Worth going.
