Review The Hungry Mule Cafe - Lathrop

We had a good meal. Homemade pie, great coffee and awesome atmosphere. Came for the total eclipse and enjoyed the cafe.

Tiny little diner that we stopped at for lunch while antiquing. They have one of the best patty melts I've ever had and their seasoned fries were delicious. Definitely will stop by again!

Old school farmers' cafe. Great place!

Huge Tenderloin! You will need a to go box! Friendly environment! Great prices!

I loved it have never been here before but went with one of the locals, and enjoyed myself, I got the tenderloin dinner and it was all I could do to finish it (big big meal). Good prices... i will definitely come back.

Great food and service, reasonable prices

My wife and I love eating at local places instead of chain restaurants, so this seemed like a natural, especially in light of the great reviews. And the reviews are at least partially right: a small, local hangout, with all the local "color" we enjoy, and really reasonable prices. Staff was friendly, but busy, as the place was packed. Food was only so-so, the ham on my wife's grilled ham and cheese was still frozen. But what nobody mentioned was that smoking is allowed here, with no physical barrier to the smoke going throughout the restaurant. If you're a smoker, this is definitely the local place for you. If you've gotten used to smokeless dining, then this should be a last resort only.

Good,Friendly Place
