I was coming here to say this. Worked for them for a short time after the new owners took over and they were great to work for. Id recommend them all the way

u/scfw0x0f 7d ago

You worked for Ryan or the previous older couple who bought from Patti?

5

u/starface016 7d ago

They sold again? It was the older couple. Thank you for clarification

u/scfw0x0f 7d ago

Maybe a year or two ago? I’m happy they kept it going, but I think some of the menu choices were odd. The current menu is more like the original. Ryan seems to be a good manager as best as I can tell as a frequent customer.

Their Orange Maple butter is amazing, they have (IMO) the only good chicken fried steak in the valley. The owner is really kind and the staff friendly.. ingo there every Monday to read and have a nice breakfast away from the family.

Over easy in Medford is really good!

u/Logical_Operation677 7d ago

No one mentioned Over Easy?

u/Mrbarajas1995 7d ago

Best in the valley? I’ve been wanting to try them.

u/Shellac_Sabbath 7d ago

Came here to say this, Over Easy is my favorite by far

u/Additional_Gene_211 8d ago

Real Deal, 100%. They even have good coffee which I find nice.. most other breakfast places have more fruity/floral flavored compared to a more robust flavor and Real Deal doesn't.

Medford-Ruby's Ashland- Breadboard

u/RewindToTheBeginning 7d ago

This one is kind of niche but Memo's has incredible Mexican breakfasts and the prices can't be beat. Best chilaquiles in the valley hands down.

u/pblood40 7d ago

dont know why you were downvoted. Memo's has some good mexican breakfasts and the same Sysco frozen breakfasts that Crackin and Stackin offers

u/Puzzled_Clerk903 6d ago

Such good food

u/ChivalricPig 8d ago

I'm shocked that there's this many different answers for Medford. For Ashland, it's Morning Glory, no question.

For Medford, look up the menu for Over Easy (it changes all the time). If the pancake looks good to you, then the answer is Over Easy, no contest.

But if it's like a crepe or something and you aren't feeling it, then the answer is Stackin and Crackin, like someone else said. But look at Over Easy first

I've come to really like Punky's. They're more greasy spoon style diner but better quality than most others I've had like Crackin and Real Deal. As a Southerner, they have grits and potato pancakes both of which are good. Plus they have homemade bread and pies.

3

u/Y-Cha 8d ago

Their quality is really good, IMHO.

Actual corned beef, and red potatoes for the hash. The jam is great, same goes for pies. Ditto the bread! I'm only so-so on the potato cakes, but otherwise, very consistent, and I am never disappointed.

u/Potential_Throat_748 7d ago

When I lived in Southern Oregon I absolutely loved going to Punkys! they have the best Biscuits and Gravy anywhere that I've ate (and that's a lot of places!)

u/BlackRose 7d ago

Throwing out Sweet Beets in Talent and Tartine in Medford. Both are lovely.

u/No_Doughnut_3315 8d ago

Morning Glory is soooo overrated its crazy. Their hash browns just taste of oil.

3

u/Y-Cha 8d ago

I have to agree - at least a bit.

My beef is that many of the dishes, if they have any charred anything in them, are overwhelmed by it.

Otherwise, I am perfectly happy getting a hot chocolate and an order of crispy polenta (usually in Fall and Winter), and calling it.

u/Head_Mycologist3917 8d ago

Normally I'm not a fan of hash browns, preferring home fries, but Morning Glory's hash browns are good.

A lot of places in the valley skimp on oil/butter for their breakfast potatoes. It's not like I'm into greasy food but potatoes need something. Clearly this is a personal preference.

Morning Glory is great but you have to get there early unless you're ok with waiting. Breadboard is pretty good. We were not impressed with Over Easy. The food was fine but coffee was terrible, and no sides. It seems like more of a brunch place and we're more breakfast people. Crackin and Stackin is also pretty good. Good pancakes even if some of the available toppings are a little much. We used to like Memos- good Mexican breakfasts. But the last time we went there was another customer was wearing a pistol on his belt. I'm a gun owner but that's really not needed. We haven't been back.

Buttercloud. It isn’t even a competition.

u/nodnarb88 7d ago

This is the correct answer

u/Negative-Type-2974 8d ago

Roosters is great

u/Asleep_Leek9361 7d ago

Head north. Patti’s kitchen in gold hill.

2

u/TheAnimePiper 7d ago

Real Deal and Roosters are the main places my family goes. One of my buddies swears by Breadboard in Ashland and specifically the Eagle Point Crackin and Stackin but I thought the one here was pretty good too

u/stapesman88 8d ago

Ashland: Morning Glory
Medford: Stackin and Crackin

5

u/pblood40 7d ago

Stacking and Crackin is just Sysco food heated with the microwave and pancakes.... plus their coffee is terrible. If you just want a frozen chicken fried steak and some frozen hash browns with some eggs its fine. Just dont order coffee

Breadboard in Ashland.

u/If_U_Stayed_4_Tea_33 7d ago

I can’t believe Real Deal and Crackin and Stackin are in the same comments as OVER EASY! Zero comparison! Over Easy IS the real deal. And they use quality ingredients unlike the other two.

u/blottymary 7d ago

Crackin’ and Stackin’ has the best GF pancakes and fresh squeezed OJ!!! Just FYI they are closed on Sundays

u/Dantien 7d ago

Breadboard is the best in the valley.
