Information that helps before coming to this restaurant is be prepared to look for parking ( we usually park across the street where the Taco Bell is at) and be prepared to wait especially weekends.The menu is pretty basic for breakfast. Pretty sure I can make anything from here at home and probably better tasting as I can adjust it to more my taste. Including pancakes and crepes. Basic ingredients. Basic “diner” style place so not special events or celebrations.On the food like I said it’s pretty basic so not much bad to say. As it’s pretty difficult foods to mess up making. Did order the Steak Burger though and the onion rings were pretty good but the meat in the burger was dry and bland.The service is ok too. When you come in it’s easy to become confused. As the waiting area is really small and I’ve seen them operate two different ways. First one is you write your name on the guest list and they go down it to get you a table. The second thing I’ve seen them do is make people stand in a line and just go from there to give a table. Then also if all the people from your party aren’t there they won’t seat you.Then the servers are pretty kind sometimes you can tell they are all over the place. As I asked for a straw had someone say they would give it to me. Then it never came, and I asked two more times before finally getting it. Third is they will do minimum not really over attentive. So *maybe* they will refill your coffee and most often forget to refill your fountain drinks.
Good eats! Friendly service!
Not very good this morning. Waffle wasn't warm enough to melt the butter. The waitress took it back to heat it up. It was about the same. I would of been better off going to Jack In The Box. I'm not much of a complainer, I just don't return. The National City location is much better, they provided excellent customer service.
Husband and I went to San Diego for a mini vacation. I always try to find local spots to eat. Resort food is only if your starving or if it's free and ours definitely wasn't. This place had several types of pancakes, I had the churro. My husband tried the crepes ( peach). He also had some eggs and sausage that were good. The service was awesome. Wasn't just 1 person handling our table. Everybody in the restaurant had a job to do and they worked as a team. If I ever come back, will go there again.
Amazing food and customer service, Mary Jane is so friendly and beautiful. I had this egg Benedict in the picture,was delicious.? ?
Delicious food, amazingly friendly service, and a time-travel back to the early 70’s…what’s not to love?
el tocino, el jamón y las salchichas no son de buena calidad para los precios del platillo
This was some of the best service me and my sister have ever experienced. The food was amazing, and the portion sizes were perfect. The pricing was extremely affordable and the waitresses made sure we had everything we needed multiple times. Efficient and fast service. So glad we stopped for here for breakfast!
Wow, was this place a disappointment. I never write reviews, but seeing this place rated 4.2 stars (as of 1/26/22), I could not stay quiet since it’s so misleading.First, parking sucks. There was no parking available in their parking lot and there is little to no parking available on the street, thus I assumed the food must be really good if the parking lot and street are so full. Was I wrong.When I entered, I was greeted and sat. It didn’t take long for me to order. Though I noticed someone ordered food after me but got their food first. I just attributed that to my food taking longer to cook. I ordered the bacon and eggs, with hash browns, wheat toast, and a coffee. A basic breakfast that would be the litmus test for my visit. First thing I noticed was the half and half they brought out was the little packet cups of half and half. This tells me a lot about a breakfast restaurant. If they skimp on the little things, they skimp on the big things. But that doesn’t always mean a restaurant with fresh half and half makes good food. Just one indicator of a restaurant’s quality. The coffee itself was terrible. Burnt, bland and warm. The overly processed half and half did not help.Then came the main dish. The bacon was some of the worst bacon I’ve been served in my life. It looks to have been sitting in a pan of grease for a while. As if they precook a bunch of bacon and let a pile sit and pick off of it per order to improve efficiency. It did not look fresh at all. Quality of bacon meat was evidently poor. Worse than Denny’s, even. See attached photo. I cannot attach video which shows more detail. I took one bite and became nauseous. I could not eat the rest.I ordered the eggs over medium but it was closer to over easy, but I didn’t mind. The hash browns were decent. The toast was basic. I was only given one packet of jam when requested which isn’t sufficient. Had to flag down a waitress to request more.The service was sub par. They weren’t rude. They just weren’t very attentive. They didn’t check on me. Never offered a refill on coffee or water (not that I really wanted more of the horrible coffee). Service was just not present. Still I’m not a jerk and tipped at least 15%. I normally tip 20%.This is supposed to be a mom and pop shop. Freshness and great service should separate it from the national chain, Denny’s, a few yards away but there was nothing that differentiated this place.I could have returned the food or ordered something else but all the indicators point to this place being one that lacks quality. There is nothing they can do today to change that. I wrote this thorough review with hope ownership/management can take feedback to change things for the better. Until then, I will not be returning.
My experience started off horribly wrong. While I was waiting in line to be seated, a party of 3 was trying to get ahead of me. I did inform them I was waiting as well. While I was waiting, the staff skipped my name and started calling 2 parties who was waiting after me. I was not happy with this. The one staff member realize what was happening, but it was too late. Another staff member assured me I would get me food before the 2 parties, I still was not happy. I will bot recommend eating here because of first impressions
