Sax's Joint

I can't even begin to describe how amazing this place is. The 50s style diner is by far the best breakfast spot in Petaluma! Every single aspect is more amazing than the last. They by far have some of the best staff I've ever seen at a restaraunt. Everyone is super friendly and all the servers are super super attentive, quick, and nice. The food is to die for, amazing quality huge portions, and very decently priced as well! More...

We came here for breakfast and got way more than we expected. I'm pretty sure the two of us could have shared one meal and both been satisfied. Everything was delicious and the service was great. More...

Great breakfast with large portions! Add in the friendly staff and 50's diner vibe, and this is one great Petaluma place for breakfast! If you like biscuits and gravy, try the Country Benedict. One huge biscuit, scrambled eggs, sausage, and lots of gravy!Lastly, Sax's is dog friendly! More...

I came here with a party of three. The wait wasn't bad--15 minutes roughly. I like how there are mini menus up front so people can review while they wait. By the time we were seated I knew exactly what I wanted.California Benedict--this was a "diner style" Benedict. My husband said it was a bit greasy so he liked it but didn't love it. He gives it a 7/10.TTs famous French toast--four enormous slices of bread--it didn't taste strongly of sourdough, but that's what it was marketed as. This dish is way too big for one person. I recommend splitting it with someone if you can. It is really good for "diner food," so if you're a French toast aficionado, I highly recommend. It's served with a delicious but rich cream cheese and Marion berry mixture shaped like a scoop (looks like ice cream)!Mimosas-- I got the Grapefruit Blvd., mimosa it was served in a canning jar with pink sugar on the rim. Very delicious, and contains more alcohol that it seems at first sip.Coffee--this was the weak link. I was very disappointed. It was either, old, burnt, or just not made from good beans. More...

Very popular Sax's Joint in Petaluma, so be prepared to wait in line. Great outdoor seating and fun indoor interior -- very 50's vibe. Food portions are large, so be hungry! I ordered cinnamon French toast and 2 scrambled eggs. My husband got French toast too. French toast is very sweet and contains tons sugar. But I loved it. Nothing more satisfying than super sweet French toast treat in the morning with a cup of coffee.Sax's Joint doesn't have any other non dairy options to go with your coffee, so be aware if you have allergies. Sometimes black coffee is fine too. Its a great spot. Great customer service. The only thing I didn't really care for is paying at the front, because the line gets long and it does look crowded waiting to pay, and hard to move around. More...

Stopped here on the way back to SF from Napa/Sonoma after looking on yelp for "best restaurants near me". This place is seriously the best! ! The food was exceptional. Highly recommend the shrimp & grits, french toast, biscuits and chicken sausage. Honestly everything on the menu is probably delicious. Large portions, quality food, great customer service. Local staple so get there early. Already looking forward to our next visit! More...

Excellent customer services and very characteristic dining room with good breakfast and brunch menu! Sax's Joint has many very good reviews on Yelp! and I loved breakfast items. I'm there on Tuesday morning and very lucky to found a street parking right in front of the restaurant. Sax's Joint doesn't have their own parking lot, the restaurant next door has a parking lot but posted a sign on the wall said "no parking for Sax's Joint"! We received a very warm greeting as soon as we walked into the restaurant. Got a table right next to the window. The first thing it was catching on my eyeballs was the special decorations in the dining room and on the tables! The menu is very easy to understand. We all have ordered the delicious breakfast dishes. The foods quality are very good and it is very delicious! Wonderful restaurant with good foods and very friendly staff! I know I'll be back next time when I'm in the area! More...

This place has fabulous food! Definitely try the French toast! Oh and their blueberry sauce ohhh soooo delicious! The prices for their menu are  pretty good. I felt they were reasonable especially for the portions you get. Parking is a bit tricky park on the side of road or at Pinky's place. It is a smaller restaurant and space is limited & can get crowded quickly. I would suggest take out if are in a hurry. Overall incredible place to eat! A must if you are in Petaluma! More...

Fantastic breakfast and lunch menu in a 50's style diner atmosphere.  Our table ordered the Memaw's chicken sandwich with onion rings, the grilled ham and cheese sandwich, pesto fries, the bacon cheeseburger and scrambled eggs with a homemade biscuit.  All of it was outstanding.  Huge portions and delicious food.  The service was top notch and friendly.  I definitely recommend Sax's!

Solid breakfast spot.  We ate here after visiting the corn maze and it hit the spot.  Good food, terrific wait staff and lots of fun.  Three hungry teenage boys ordered the chicken and waffles and devoured it all.  It is literally half a chicken!  Fried!  Nothing bad about that.... More...

This is one of our Petaluma staples. Incredible, helpful staff that always makes you feel right at home. The awesome comfort food helps the "at home" effort even more! Imagine you stepped back in time to the 1950's and wanted to go out with your best gal for a delicious lunch before cruising around downtown in your convertible, this is the place to do it. They have massive homemade biscuits that will blow your socks off and a myriad of homemade jams that accompany perfectly. If you come for breakfast, you better come hungry, or expect to leave with a nice sized to go box full of leftovers for lunch! We highly recommend this place for anything and everything on the menu, they will take care of you and make you feel like a million bucks. Don't forget to try the huge cinnamon roll ;) More...

What a fun diner! We were in the area for a wedding in Sonoma, so on our way back home, we looked up a brunch spot, and since Sax's was highly rated, we dropped in. Friendly staff, quick service, delicious brunch, and a themed restaurant to boot. Loved it!I got the chicken fried chicken salad, and it had all of my favorites: crispy chicken, olives, red onion, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, and ranch. YUM! My husband LOVES diners, and he always struggles between chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy. He got the chicken fried chicken, and it came with a biscuit. He kinda had the best of both worlds!No complaints from me. I hope Sax's is around for years to come! More...

Decor is an interesting manly pink, very motorcycle culture.Large portions, way too big for a typical breakfast, so I hope you come woke hungry! We had a side of pancakes and country fried steak. Unlimited coffee refills. Very good start of the day! More...

This is my recent Petaluma discovery. I rate Rosen's 265 North as the best restaurant in town, followed by What A Chicken, and recently Sax's. Traditional continental decor, great bar and steak house atmosphere.. And Jan Rosen, hands down, is the best chef in town. I've followed Jan since she & her sister Michelle, opened Rosen's on 34th in Santa Rosa 20 years ago, and then moved on to the Waterfront Grill 10years ago in Petaluma. More...

Haven't been to this place since it was Old Marvins.  The atmosphere is classic 50's and fun.  All the people working seem to be dressed and in the spirit of the era as well.  The menu has some interesting options on it.  We will have to return to give them a try.  We did get the chicken fried steak.  Good and what you would expect.  Also, the spicy bacon cheddar waffle.  Has some kick, but very yummy.  Overall good experience. We will be back. More...

Stopped here on the way to Guernville with some friends and it was the perfect place to kick off our trip! We sat on the patio on a lovely October afternoon and the temperature was great. There were a few flys and bees flying around but honestly the food was so freaking good that I kinda understood why they wanted to be so close to it. I ordered a waffle (decided to do it sans fried chicken but I regretted it immediately when the table next to us got it and it looked HUGE and amazing). The waffle was perfectly cooked and the syrup provided was warm and delicious. Also just because I hate the idea of living a long life I had to get the garlic fries which were soooo good. My friend got the French toast with marion berry cream cheese on top and it was truly phenominal....I highly suggest stopping if you're in the area for a quick, cheap, and delicious brunch. More...
