Since 1957
A family tradition, now in Cambrian / Willow Glen
Jack Holder came home from the Marines in 1945 and spent his life feeding people. He opened a Dairy Queen in Roseburg, Oregon in 1948. In 1957 he opened Uncle John's Pancake House on El Camino Real. In 1967 came Holder's Country Inn at the old Town & Country Village.
In August 2016 the family opened Jack Holder's Restaurant & Bar in Cambrian / Willow Glen, to honor Jack and Anne. The idea hasn't changed: warm service, awesome food and fair prices.
The bar: happy hour in Cambrian / Willow Glen
A full-service bar, 14 brews on tap, inspired cocktails, and local & international wines. Start the morning with a mimosa or a Bloody Mary with bacon. Sit on the patio after work.
Happy hour is Every day, 2:30 to 5:30 pm. New happy hour specials are coming soon. Call (408) 613-2365 for today's deals.
