    A relic of bygone times. The menu has not changed burning your whole life! Excellent coffee shop meals that you and your great-grandmother can enjoy together. Huge portions, so you get at least two meals in one. I forgot to take a picture of my tri-tip dinner with country fried potatoes. All this and a big open parking lot.

    If you are looking for a traditional American breakfast experience, this is it! And boy, great taste, a large menu, and, yes, great value! Their French toast is near the top I've ever had. And massive! Check out the photos below. They are super fast and super nice. The decor and atmosphere is just icing in the cake. Go there with an appetite and you will not be disappointed.

    The first time I came here was in 2021 and the food was amazing. It was during the pandemic so we were seated outside. I returned 2 years later (2023) and it did not disappoint. We arrived close to 10 am, no wait time, we took a couple mins to look at the menu and ordered our food. We had the chili omelet, French toast combo, and biscuits and gravy. We were so amazed that our food was brought out less than 10 mins after we ordered. Everything was very tasty, we will definitely visit again. Its worth the drive from San Jose.

    What a great find! Tucked away in the middle of strip mall suburbia was Country way. An old school A framed diner filled with dark wood and kitschy touches everywhere. Went during the post lunch, pre dinner slow time. Staff was very nice. The type that call you "honey" not to be ironic, but because they call everyone that. They do all day breakfast! Portions are hearty and very tasty. Gonna go back soon for breakfast. Give them a try if you are in the neighborhood.

    French toast was delicious! It's more like a flat pancake than French toast but I really liked the flavor and powdered sugar. The spaghetti and ravioli were quite bland - I had to add salt and cheese. I wanted mashed potatoes around 12 noon but was told they were out until 2 PM. The soup of the day was interesting and I'm still not sure what it is. Chicken and lentils? The restaurant's aesthetics look really nice. Reminds me of a log cabin.

    Oh I liked this place so much! It is a truly American restaurant. People is super nice and the food delicious. Large portions. I recommend the garden omelette. Restrooms and tables are clean and price is good.

    Generous coffee serving with big portion size of dishes! Waffle with some chocolate chips would be great without extra charge. Enjoyed the brunch here.

    Place was pretty good. We had the roast beef that my husband enjoyed. I didn't like it at all. To me it had a funny taste. I asked the server about the liver n onions and she said it was a popular item so I ordered it. It was very tender and was one of the best that I have had at a restaurant. . Overall it was okay. I will go back to try the breakfast.

    The food is great, well priced and they serve you quick and efficiently. Came in on a busy day and was sat within 10 minutes. They have the best French toast I've ever had.

    The family all enjoyed the French toast that we had heard so much about. I had to benchmark the pancakes, which were tasty but fairly standard fare. The French toast is very different (but good), and the source of much hypothesizing of how it is made. Pancake turned into French toast? Crustless bread?

    Great experience! We got Beef liver with mushroom and onions, linguica and Jack cheese omelette with hashbrowns. Everything was delicious. Will definitely come back!

    Wow!!! What happened to the cook?? Some things should never change. Like my boneless pork chop with cubed fried potatoes. I haven't been to County Way in 4 years due to moving out of the area. Well 30 minutes down the road to be honest. But I recently moved back to Newark and went back to Country Way for that amazing breakfast I loved with my family on Sunday Mornings. One of their best chefs has left the building and replaced him with some big muscular military looking cutie pie, that doesn't like seasoning, salt, and spices for flavor. The pork chop I used to get was tender flavorful, juicy and no grill marks but crispy edges from being fried on the grill. I was disappointed in the flavorless processed frozen pre-grill marked pork chop 🥩 with whole sliced 🍠 potatoes. My boneless pork chop was dry and tough. I could bend away parts of the formed pork patty like taped strips of meat put together. Then they changed the cubed seasoned crispy fried potatoes and tried to use full sliced round 🌕 Au Gratin potatoes as fried potatoes. This place used to be full of cars 24 hours of the day it seemed and I pass by Country Way getting on the freeway daily and the parking lot is empty most times with very few cars and that's another big telltale sign that others have left too. I wish you all the best!

    Ok so the steak was absolutely delicious! The mashed potatoes and gravy weren't so good. And the ranch for the salads tasted really sour. But I'm a total steak person and the steaks were PERFECT! Also, their fries were amazing! I got my food to go, the lady who took my order was the best! She was very sweet. I'd definitely come here again, just would get fries instead of mashed, and no salad.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Country Way for breakfast and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience from start to finish. The cozy and inviting atmosphere immediately set the tone for a relaxing morning. We decided to try the French toast combo and the farmer’s breakfast, and we were not disappointed. The French toast was perfectly cooked and it was heavenly. The farmer’s breakfast was a hearty and satisfying option and each bite was a delight. What truly stood out, besides the fantastic food, was the impeccable service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. They were more than willing to answer any questions we had about the menu and even provided some great recommendations. The cozy ambience added to the overall experience, making it a place where you can truly unwind and enjoy a leisurely breakfast. From the warm lighting to the comfortable seating, every detail was thoughtfully considered. Overall, Country Way exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of delicious food, attentive service, and a cozy atmosphere made for a breakfast outing that I won't soon forget. Whether you're looking for a relaxing morning meal or a place to catch up with friends, Country Way is definitely worth a visit. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu offerings. Highly recommended!

    We’ve been coming to this place for many years, but have not been since COVID. We came at an off time around 3:30, very late lunch! The restaurant only had two other couples in the restaurant so we had the place to ourselves. I was craving breakfast so I had the boneless pork chops and 2 eggs snd the hubby had the Coulet steak and eggs! The good never disappoints and the service is fantastic whether they have 100 guests dining or 5 guests in their spacious restaurant. This place has been around forever and is a Fremont gem!! Traditional old school diner food. You can sit at the counter if you’re by yourself or you can sit in the spacious booths or tables!

    Met up with an old friend who suggested this place. Delicious food and would recommend. I like the unique A-frame building. I wish more establishments could be expressive like this.

    French toast was superb, the best of both French toast and pancakes. I don't think they could have possibly been any faster with the food. One note of warning for business travelers: they don't take American Express.
