Country Way

It's has been a long time since my last visit in 2018. Glad to see the place is still open and welcoming.
Love the log cabin vibe and the friendly staffs. Not much changes in their menu but the prices are more expensive now.
Biscuit and gravy- just mediocre
Pork chops- a bit dry
Chill and egg- nice
Soup of the day, chicken and rice soup is flavorful.

This homey diner is a Fremont staple for old fashioned indulgent American breakfast. Portions are gigantic (I ate my omelette over 4 days). Friends often want to meet here, but you'll likely have to wait for a table. Service is very friendly.

I would go elsewhere if you are trying to eat healthy. Even the omelettes and sautéed vegetables are swimming in butter. Eating vegan here would likely be difficult (unless you ate maybe plain toast & jam without butter, or pasta with marinara sauce, maybe a mixed green salad with no dressing).

TLDR: Big Portions for reasonable price.

This place has done the impossible, and for that, it gets 5 stars. It has managed to change my wife's mood from angry to happy! It started bad as soon as we left. She took a look at Country way on Yelp and immediately disliked it. From the all wood walls and roof, to the old looking booths... it's not her style at all. Immediately she started complaining about it, and how it looks like there's only one bathroom and it's raining and this is our one free day to go out, etc etc.

Her mood only worsened when we had to wait about 20 minutes... IN THE RAIN. And then after being seated, she was served... what she so lovingly calls "Coffee water". In other words, not strong at all. It looked like I was going to be in the doghouse... UNTIL the food arrived. HUGE portions, THREE EGGS, a huge grilled sausage with those lovely char marks, and half a plate of potatoes. And it ALL tasted delicious!

I had a belgian waffle combo, and the waffle was pretty great. It was crispy on the outside, which I love. And it was soft and fluffy inside. I also had ham which was just HUGE.

And by the end of the wonderful feast, her mood became happy. I didn't expect any breakfast place that can lighten her, but this place has done it. This place is a Fremont institution. It's been around since I was a child, and I hope it continues long after I'm senile.

Service is always quick and very friendly. Hadnt been here in AGES. Literally. Had the steak and eggs and asked for medium rare & overeasy eggs& potatoes . The steak in my picture looks a bit charred but once you cut into it, it was definitely medium rare so i was happy. Eggs were runny. Could not ask for more. Their portions are on the larger side. OH! OH! and their mimosas are worth it too.

WOW ! I'm can't believe it's been a little over six years before I updated this review. Came in on Easter Sunday for Biscuits and gravy but waitress said they ran out of biscuits :(.

My go to's are: The French Toast, Ground Round dinner with added mushrooms and now I discovered my favorite Sammie. I'm not usually a sandwich lover, but this sandwich was more like a meal with delicious seasoned thin beef, perfectly grillEd slices of onions and green bell peppers, and a melted cheese and a shiny super soft white roll made this an OMG moment. It's basic ingredients but also delicious. It was moist fresh and piping hot when it was placed on the table. The Philly Cheesesteak sandwich is my favorite lunchtime item.

On the same plate, The unsalted steak fries were fried perfectly . It was thick, lightly golden and pillow soft in the insides. I appreciate that no salt was added automatically. I forgot to say no salt as I always ask for unsalted fries, but it's like they read my mind. I like the standard of the kitchen, not adding salt to the french fries.

It also came with a cup of chicken and rice soup. The soup was not a hit for me. It tasted bland. I will see next time if I can substitute the soup for a salad. I have had better soups in the past, so I'm not holding this against them. Lol It just tasted meh and texture was mushy like.

For the Sammie, i devoured half bc it was rather large (great :), and eagerly enjoyed the other half the next day, by wrapping in foil and warming up in my air oven.

On another note, my dining companion decided on the ground round breakfast, based on my recommendation. The dish did not disappoint. I converted yet another avid hamburger lover to now enjoy the ground round breakfast. The hash-browns were perfectly golden. The toast was not burnt lol and the over medium eggs were fried just right

To summit up this is one of my favorite go to places when I am in Fremont.

Definitely our go to good ole fashioned breakfast joint.. please don't over hype this place then the wait time for the locals will be longer..
This place is the best for pork chop make sure to get extra lemon... make everything perfect. Service is fast and clean dining area. It's gets pretty busy so make sure to be here early. Everything on the menu is worth to try..

I am 100% positive that I wrote a review for country way a long time ago. I don't know why Yelp keeps deleting my reviews.
Super busy on weekends and not so much during the week. Hefty large portions that will guarantee you leftovers for later. I love their corn beef hash and country fried potatoes. Country fried potatoes are my favorite and is a must try and go well with everything. Avoid weekends if you can and stop by during the week.

Few places where you get enough in plates to fill you up at a reasonable price. Food and service is all great. Everyone is attentive to give you a refill. Parking is easy and the menu has abundant choices for everyone to pick from.

Came here the past Saturday. This place has the regular American brunch items you will find at other places, nothing special. The portion is huge and descent price. My rating is based solely on the country fried steak.

I am a country fried steak person, with gravy on the side and if I do come back, I will not order this again. There is too much peppers in the batter and the meat inside lack flavor. The country fried steak was not even crispy and the texture just reminded me of a meatloaf. The gravy is mediocre not salty like other places I try.

Been going here since childhood and I will forever know this breakfast place for the huge portions. The service is the kind that will know you by name the more you come back and will definitely take care of you. The place itself gives very comfortable vibes that make you feel like you're in a cabin in a different city lol overall love the place and love the food :)
