History from the Country Inn Menu:
In 1957, Jack and Anne Holder sold their Dairy Queen business in Roseburg, Oregon and moved their family to the "Valley of Hearts Delight" and opened Uncle John's Pancake House in Santa Clara. Jack and Anne's pancakes and waffle recipes made Uncle John's one of the most popular coffee shops in the Bay Area.
In, 1967, Jack and Anne's success continued when they opened the original "Holder's Country Inn" in the old Town & Country Village (now Santana Row) in San Jose, where it flourished for 32 years. The original Country Inn relocated to Saratoga Avenue in 1995.
While managing their restaurants, Jack and Anne raised a family of six sons and a daughter, all of which are still in the business. The Holder family traditions of friendly and attentive service, great food and reasonable prices continue to this day.
This Country Inn Cafe is located in the Almaden area of San Jose, on Camden just west of Almaden Expressway. Though originally starting as a pancake house, all locations now offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu has appetizers, salads, sandwiches and desserts. Take-out orders are available too.
