Why go
Redding’s top-ranked breakfast, in a new home
Karline Niver opened Deja Vu in the mid-1990s in the historic Lorenz Hotel. In early 2024 she moved it to a standalone building on Shasta Street with its own parking lot and a patio, according to Enjoy Magazine.
It is #1 of 280 Redding restaurants on Tripadvisor (4.4 from 358 reviews) and 4.5 on Google from 1,252 reviews. Reviewers praise the big portions and the Benedicts; weekend waits are the main complaint.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome on the patio, and the menu even has a “Pawtio” section with a $4 pup cup.

For RVers
Taking the rig to Deja Vu Restaurant
The practical stuff we wished someone had told us before we pulled in.
Use the tow vehicle
The lot is small and reviewers say it fills at peak times. Leave the rig at the park and bring the car.
Go early
Doors open at 7 am daily. Weekend mornings are busiest, and there’s no online booking.
Use the new address
Some directories still show the old Lorenz Hotel address on California Street. Deja Vu is now at 1177 Shasta Street.
Bring the dog
Dogs are welcome on the patio, and the Pawtio menu has treats starting at $4.
