The prices are great! The food is good especially for the cost. This is a little hole in the wall that deserves some respect. The hash browns are way over cooked. The French toast was really good. My wife loved her eggs Benedict  The Garvey I tasted did taste amazing as per the other reviews. We will be back we really like this old school place- great job folks
Review Source:This place is LEGIT.
It's absolutely a hole in the wall, but you get more then what you pay for. My personal favorite is the burger with bacon and french fries. The burger is delicious, but the fries are my absolut favorite part. The onion rings are some of the best I've ever had.
The BLT is great. My friend ordered the schnitzel the last time we went, and that was pretty delicious. The cheese bread was so awesome... Mmm...
The service is pretty damn great. The waitresses/waiters are always incredibly sweet and working hard.
This is my new favorite place in Tracy.
Good place to stop while on the road. Â I had low expectations because I don't like diner food (burgers, fries, etc). Â But they made a great BLT with really fresh bread and produce. Â And I asked for a salad and was really pleasantly surprised to find there was no iceberg lettuce in it. Â It was beautiful mixed greens. Â And the service was fast and friendly. Â Overall, it was perfect for a meal on the go.
Review Source:This is a country kitchen type restaurant. Â No fussiness and nothing but good home cooked meals. Â Something that is missing in the franchise chain restaurants. Â Waitresses are always pleasant and are there to please the customers. Â The food is simple and delicious that way. Â They have accommodations for soccer and school party functions. Â Great place that we frequent regularly. Â Reminds me of how Tracy once was.
Review Source:This little spot has been on my list to try for some years. Â The wife and I stopped by today 11/10/12 for lunch. Â We walked in and seated ourselves. Â A gal came over after a bit and took our orders. Â I started with a slice of peach pie and followed it with the lobster sandwich and onion rings with a coke. Â My wife ordered the club sandwich and fries. Â I kept looking for a reason to critique the food but instead found a perfect little meal. Â The pie was homemade and delicious, the sandwich (although imitation lobster) was delicious, onion rings were perfectly done and had no excess oil left on them and finally the fountain coke tasted like a coke out of a glass bottle. Â I was pleasantly surprised at the perfect mix out of a fountain machine as most places I go to is either tart or flat. Â We will be going back tomorrow for breakfast.
Review Source:Ok, at first you look at this place and scratch your head is it open or closed?
Ok,so it's open oh my! Â Find yourself a seat, look around are you scared yet?
So forget the decor the food is home down comfort food see as I am from the Midwest I know my chicken fried steak pretty damn well and oh course the gravy!
So I ordered the chicken fried steak with gravy and biscuit........ Ready for it?
Omg slap grandma it was good and the waitress even asked if I wanted more gravy? More gravy? Â Hubby looked at me and knew I was in heaven......
I will diffenety be going back here again
Four Corners is a pretty good restaurant if you are looking for diner food. Â The service is great. Â Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgable about the menu. Â I ordered the fish and chips, which were pretty good. Â The fish was nice and crispy on the outside and still moist and flakey on the inside and didn't have too much batter. Â The fries were piping hot and nice and crispy. Â My boyfriend had the dinner special, which was the pasta bolognese, which looked ok. Â With the dinner special you get a soup, which was the chili cheese soup, which basically tasted like melted Velveeta cheese and some taco seasoned beef, not my favorite, but at least came out nice and hot. Â Also included in the meal was the salad bar, which is small but still has a good variety, with the pasta salad tasting very good and fresh. Â Additionally the meal comes with a basket of delicious sweet doughy bread, a perfect complement to your soup or salad!
Review Source:The food is nice and they have reasonable prices. All of the food reminds me of a home-cooked meal. I'm reminded of the story of Goldilocks... It's not bad, it's not the best I've ever had either, but it's just right.
The service is polite and they try to remember your order from your previous visits.Often the restaurant is not crowded and you'd think you'd get a lot of 1:1 attention, but that's not so, unfortunately. But if you're not shy, it's never a problem to get up and grab the hot-sauce off the supply table, or walk up and ask for what you need. That really doesn't bother me, but to others it may appear negligent.
The one warning I must stress is: Don't sit in the over-flow room, it's the land of the forgotten! Why this is so, I have no idea. But it's consistently overlooked and I always find myself wanting/needing something... even the bill.
Overall, I still like to go often. It's enjoyable enough to keep me coming back.
This place has gone down hill. We have been coming here for over 20 years. It has gotten worse and worse. Service is terrible, and they charged me for my 3 year old having a small side of olives from the salad bar THAT I PURCHASED with my meal. It technically could have been MY side of olives and they charged me $3.95 and told me I was lucky they didnt charge me the full $6.95 for the full salad bar! I had to seat myself, get my own menus, and ate my salad and soup with no drink because I didnt get my drink order taken until I ordered dinner. Then the cook came and brought me my Iced-Tea. I'm SO done with this place.
Review Source:This place is soooo gross.... tasteless food!!!! My husband and I ate breakfast there the other day... Â I had breakfast burrito which basically only had undercooked hashbrowns in a cold tortilla and a piece or 2 of sausage. Couldnt even find the egg that was supposed to be in it. Hubby had bacon and eggs and biscuits and gravy. He also thought that his food was pretty gross. We payed the bill and left hungry... couldnt even eat the crap. went home and cooked our own.( shoulda done that to begin with) I cannot understand how anyone would return after trying it once.
Review Source:Four Corners - Good food, reasonable prices, homey atmosphere, more wholesome than fancy.
Breakfast offers lots of choices and large portions.
Lunch is reasonably priced and the food is fresh. Â My favorite is the lobster sandwich. Â The tuna melt is a close second.
Dinners are very fairly priced for all that you get. Â The selections are more or less a reflection of mid-western Americana. Â There's the mandatory chicken fried steak, fish 'n chips, and such. Â But you can also get a decent steak. Â The little salad bar is kept fresh and has enough selections to bring me back for seconds.
Basically a very good neighborhood eatery. Â The food is tasty, the staff is friendly, and the prices are fair. Â What's not to like?
Oh, lest I forget. Â The pie is fine, very fine!
This is a solid family owned business, and I am happy to see they are still around! Â
I have had lunch at 4C once but have had breakfast there regularly. Â We go there mainly because the Hub-Unit loves it.
Breakfasts are HUGE and fairly inexpensive, Hubs likes that he can get a german sausage with his breakfast for a small charge. Â I like that they have added blueberry pancakes to their menu. Â On the weekends breakfast can be very busy, so do not expect staff to be tuned in to your every whim, but they do their best and I have never felt ignored
or neglected.
Their lunch menu was larger than I had expected, many different kind of sammies, burgers and entrées.  We liked the lobster melt and the split pea soup.
This is a very relaxed restaurant with consistently good home style good.
My wife and I had breakfast here last week. Â I had the country fried steak and eggs and she had french toast.
In general, we had a good meal. Â I thought the country fried steak was tender. Â The gravy was flavorful. Â The scrambled eggs were just basic. Â My wife's french toast was made from thick cut french bread. Â She really enjoyed this.
I probably would give 4 stars but the restaurant is old and dirty.
So with the week off between Christmas and New years, set out on a drive to Brentwood to try Mccauley Brothers Olive Ranch (different review to follow), with the plan to eat at the tiny Byron cafe afterwards. oops closed today, so knowing of the little place out on Chrisman and Linne rd, in Tracy, we headed over that way.
Neat little place, pretty good sized menu, with a few German Specialties thrown in for good measure. Wife had a flatiron steak sandwich on a french roll with nice side of fries, steak Cooked to order. i had the smoked German sausage, 2 large ones, with fries, a veggie side and a small dish of kraut.. Both very good. Am going to make it a point to come back for a schnitzel dinner, next trip.
I should give it five stars for being the best "local eatery" that I have ever encountered -- bar none. Â And I've been a foodie for about a zillion years!
Service is very friendly, but somewhat slow due the the fact that every seat is taken!
The secret? Eat at the counter!
Anything you want, from burger to prime rib. Â On my new diet (sort of like Atkins) I had two delicious burger patties served over a green salad. Â PERFECT.
and the people are warm, they actually care about their customers, and the food is very reasonable.
Not sure what was going on all of the other times I tried to visit but now I've been 3 times. There is a sign out front that says they're open 7 days a week and they seem to be.
The service is slow but that is because they don't seem to have enough servers and the ones they do have go on break at bad times. We were sitting in a pretty full restaurant with 1 server trying REALLY hard to take care of everyone... not cool.. but she was trying :-)
The breakfasts are pretty darn good. Although if you get the corned beef hash because it says "house made" and hope you'll get chunks of corned beef instead of the canned type "dog food" you'll be sad. It's just like canned..
The lunch, we had sandwiches and they were pretty decent. I would call this "home style food" nothing really fancy but it all tastes pretty good.
This place was great! We had dinner there tonight and though, my husband had been twice before, it was my first visit.
I had the Prime Rib, which to be honest, was probably the the best I've ever had. It was cooked perfectly for my taste, which is a major accomplishment, in itself. The dinner came with both soup and salad, as well as a baked potato and steamed veg. The soup was a really yummy chili cheese and the salad bar, which, at first, seemed to be on the basic side, turned out to have some of the most amazing blue cheese dressing and homemade croutons you'll find. A nice surprise was also the made-from-scratch tapioca.
My husband had the pork schnitzel. I gave it a little try and was pleasantly surprised at how tender and non-greasy it was. His meal was supposed to come with something called "cheese buttons" but they were all out, so he opted for a baked potato instead. Guess the cheese buttons are pretty popular!
We each decided to get some dessert to go. He grabbed a slice of carrot cake, which was pretty yummy, and I decided on the berry pie, which I've yet to have (that may end up being breakfast!).
The best part of the meal is when the check came. Knowing we had a really great meal, our tab that came to just shy of $40, was a steal! Â Quite frankly, no chain could provide the quality of food for the price that Four Corners offers it's customers. We look forward to retuning to give breakfast a shot :)
I'm actually kind of disappointed at giving this restaurant a mediocre rating. I found this place much by accident. I had no idea it even existed, but for a postcard I recieved in the mail... an advertisement boasting its homemade breakfasts. Now, I love a good breakfast, but I don't like dining at Denny's, I-Hop or places like that. I enjoy the good 'ole non-commercial mom-n-pop, family-owned joints (and usually the places that look like a hole in the wall have the best food in town).
So, I go there on a Sunday (I beg to differ with one of the reviewers who states that this facility is closed on Sunday... they are not, they are indeed open on Sundays). I went hungry and desperately needing food in my tummy from having too much fun the night prior. I ordered the California Omelette (I love omelettes), which comes with bacon, tomatoes, olives, avocados, and I substituted the cheddar cheese for jack cheese. The eggs were not over-cooked, the hash browns were stupendous... nothing was greasy. It was such a terrific meal, I chose not to use the coupons that came in the mail (from the postcard).
I dined at that establishment three times since (within the last 2 months). Just this last Sunday, I took some friends out to breakfast and all I did was brag about this great breakfast place in town. Boy, was I embarrassed (I think they even sniffed my water and coffee to see if I was still drinking that same morning). I ordered the same meal each time because it was so wonderful. This time, there was definitely a noticeable change in kitchen staff.
First of all, the place was hopping (which usually is a good sign). My food was slopped together with no care... "get it on the plate and out" seemed to be their motto this morning, and I almost puked in my mouth when the food actually reached my table. (Wait... I think I did puke in my mouth)... yuk! Everything looked burnt... the eggs, the bacon... Hell, I didn't even know you could burn tomatoes, but the two tiny pieces trailing the side of my plate were crispified. The hash browns looked like crunchy Chinese dried noodles and when I poked at them with a fork, they almost made the sound of breaking glass! Grease glistened from my plate under the dim light of the mess hall. A slab of unmelted jack cheese lay before me atop my brown omelette and as I lifted it up, I could see where cheddar had rested and been scraped off to make way for the correct selection of cheese. (I think I just puked in my mouth again from the memory of it all)...
I summoned the 16-year old waitress over and told her that I didn't want cheddar cheese because of the grease, although I couldn't explain my unrest with the remaining grease that settled on my plate, slowly forming a large puddle. She literally asked me, "Do you want me to take it back to the kitchen?" As I paused staring at her for a moment, part of my brain yelled, "DUH!!!! No, I just wanted to run it past you for kicks and giggles!" Â The other part of my brain quicky conjured up images of a faceless someone blowing snot rockets into my "new, improved food." Either way, I was screwed on this breakfast thing. And, can you believe this? I actually apologized... yes, I apologized as if it were my fault being the recipient of a poorly cooked meal and asked her to please take it back and stated that I was sorry to cause any problems. I could've kicked myself under the tabe, but I was trying to be polite about it. I gnawed on dry sourdough toast while awaiting a fresh plate of edible goods and what came out five minutes later looked worse than what I had to begin with. It looked like they dumped all the innerds from the omelette out and re-grilled the shell only to shovel what looked to be two large handfuls of olives, three slices of bacon, and a fresh unmelted slab of jack on top. The only colors that existed on the plate was brown and a tinge of yellow.... there was no tomato or avocado. The hash browns were NOT new... they were shinier, though!
I removed the slab of cheese and picked around the plate, searching desperately for something not brown and crispy. Couldn't find it. I sipped my coffee and finished my toast. The teenage waitress waltzed over and actually asked me, my plate full, "How was your omellete? Better?" Without blinking, I think I looked at her with a blatant expression of, "Are you kidding me?!" I raised my eyebrows and looked back down at my plate, trying to comprehend what she didn't understand about 20 minutes later and uneaten food. Did she expect a, "Yes, actually.... that was much better, I just couldn't eat any of it because I was so full from the coffee and toast."
Well... basically, that one experience changed my mind and I highly doubt I will ever eat there again.
I learned a lesson long ago that goes for much of life today, especially customer service... and that is: "You can do 1,000 things perfectly, but do just one thing wrong and it will be forever remembered." True words to live by.
Okay. Â I cannot believe someone who has not even eaten there can give it a one star rating. Â And they are Closed on Sunday. Â Breakfasts are NOT greasy. Â I wonder where the severe hangover person ate, but it was not at the Four Corners.
Chicken Fried Steak in California is not Texas style or southern style cfs. Â Ordering same is like ordering a taco at an Italian restaurant. Â Not likely to be very good.
Anyway. Â The Four Corners is a perfectly decent coffee shop/diner that serves a reasonably large portion at a reasonably low price. Â The food is neither exceptionally good nor is it bad. Â It is a cut above the chain Dennys and IHOPs. Â Service will be a little slower since most items are not precooked.
Oh my god this place is bad. Â Think truck-stop minus the meth and hookers. Â Or maybe the hookers were hiding in the back - doing meth, no doubt. Â I had chicken fried steak - I'm from the South, so I know what that's supposed to taste like. Â What I got was unrecognizable to any sense, gustatory, visual, tactile, olfactory...ok, maybe not every sense - I suppose it did sound like chicken fried steak. Â Service was Ok. Â Look, feel, lighting, etc. was suicide-inducing. Â I'm not just snobbing because I'm city-folk. Â I love little rural tucked-away gems, but this is nothing of the kind. Â It's not quaint. Â It's not rustic. Â It doesn't remind you of "how Momma used to cook". Â It just sucks in that dirty, depressing way that evokes trailer parks and "funny uncles".
