Reviews for The Embers in Pinole, CA
I would give 4 stars because the food is pretty tasty. However that gets thrown out when I order breakfast to go and my food... is thrown in the containers carelessly and not considerate. Toast crumbs all throughout da bag. Juice from da meat leakingeverywhere. Its been on more than several occasions this has happened. I get frustrated but, I jus knw what to expect. Theyalso can use someone with phone manners. I haven't dined in so I have no clue on da service but, when I pick up I have ridiculedeyes roaming and drinking me in. Very weird vibe but chef is da reason I grab sumn when I can't cook breakfast. The flip sidenever ate lunch nor dinner. On the expensive side so if your not tryna spend like dat keep it pushing.

My bestie and I had a very nice meal. Open faced rare beef sandwich and mashed potatoes with brown gravy all over it yummy!!!... The waitress was delightful. Read more
I have eaten here since I was a kid and it is always very good. The cost has gone up quite a bit in the past year and I wish... they didn't change their french fries. But all and all it's great for breakfast lunch or dinner. Read more
I love came here and enjoy the best breakfast and always great service I really recommend this place
The whole experience was wonderful; their menu is complete with pictures and easy to read. ???? although I've eaten here several... times, it was seamless! Our waitress was extremely thoughtful to bring water (hot, cold & refills), to not rush us & me (whilewaiting nearly 25 minutes for my guest). The food was cooked ???? to perfection. I enjoyed chocolate chip pancakes ???? withlink sausages, and Bob ordered the mushroom omelet, which he thoroughly enjoyed! My bill, including tip, was $31 - reasonableconsidering I had more to eat at home. Go to Embers & enjoy your experience! Read more
Did take out this time. Had the fried chicken and ribs. The chicken wasnt bad , the ribs had a good smoky flavor but were tough... dry and overcooked. It was like eating pork jerky. I dont see a need for a cut in half grilled hamburger bun to be tossed ontop. Gordon Ramsey wouldve face palmed at that. Great quiet place to eat. They have some great bbq and french dip sandwichesbut they cannot make a pastrami sandwich very well Read more
Been coming here for 25+ years. From the moment you walk in the smell of BBQ makes you feel at home. The staff is a little... cranky at time but the service is always great. I have yet to come in here that it wasn't busy. No frills decor just reallygreat food, at an affordable price, served by hardworking staff that have never disappointed me. Read more
On my last visit here, I had a Philly cheese steak sandwich w/fries. The sandwich was awesome & I loved the fries too.
