Bonny's Cafe

Love this place. Food is excellent, service is great, and the parking is not bad at all.

I've been coming here for awhile but it's been a minute since I've come here. I ordered a stack of pancakes and a side of sausage. My friend ordered the cheese omelette, side of beans and tortillas. The sausage seemed over cooked but the pancakes were ok, nothing special. Problem was my friend's order. The omelette was super small with hardly any cheese. She said the cheese tasted off so she didn't finish it. I know times are tight for everybody patrons and businesses but our bill was $41 without tip. For those prices I'll take my business elsewhere.

I was craving pancakes and our usual breakfast spots all had a 45+ min wait on a Sunday so we ended up here. We walked in and were seated right away. The restaurant is kind of dark with very little natural light, but the servers are bright, energetic and very attentive. We ordered the eggs Benedict and the chicken fried steak with a side of pancakes. The food was mostly good... except the potatoes. We tried the hashbrowns and country potatoes and both were so bland. The bell peppers and onions were so mushy and the potatoes soggy too. On the bright side, the chicken fried steak was seasoned well and the ham on the eggs benny was so thick! Both items were about $18 and I'd say we're good portions for the cost.

WHAT IS BONNY'S CAFE?A homestlye diner with oldies nostalgia and background music with a plethora of good homecoming meal choices from breakfast omelettes to pork chop dinners. Closes at 2 PM. I arrived on a Saturday at 1245 PM and was not rushed. I had immediate seating. When I came at 10AM there was a 2 minute wait.WHAT MEAL DO YOU SUGGEST?The food is just plain delicious. I used to eat here every week for 10 years when I lived in El Cajon. I stopped by after completing the Iron Mountain Hike. I only order the Popeye Omelette with a pancake and hash browns. Gosh this food is so good. The hash browns are crisp on the outside and soft in the inside with a slight buttery flavor. So good, no ketchup needed.  And when I bring friends their feedback is similar with their meal choices. It's good. WHAT IS THE ATMOSPHERE?Diner style table service with the option of counter seating. Waitpersons assist each other without the side-eye :). Prices are reasonable at $13-16 per plate. Kid and senior menu available. Wheelchair and scooter friendly accessibility. Indoor seating with limited outdoor seating."I love oldies just kind of sweet, slinky, Fifties music. The slow stuff. And Billie Holiday."---Nastassja Kinski#JUKEN123#bonnyscafe#popeyeomelette#oldiesmusicisgoodmusic

Been a long time Bonny's patron. Reason love this place is the classic timeless feel and always had good food and pricing. On our last visit we were shocked by the price, $65 for breakfast for two. I got the classic two egg breakfast plate and my husband got a short stack of pancakes with side of eggs/bacon and hash browns. Pricing has gone up everywhere and don't blame the restaurant when price of goods increases so do menu prices.

Bonny's is your typical diner type restaurant from a time when national chains were not as prevalent as they are now. I remember going to places like this with my grandparents, it's nostalgic for me, I admit it. This is a no frills zone. You get friendly service and solid food. You can see the whole dining area from anywhere you sit. They've also got counter seating. There's street parking along with parking in a shared lot. There's an entrance from the lot or one along Broadway. You can seat yourself. I've never had to wait long for a table or for food after ordering. They have pretty good breakfast specials too. My kid is a fan of the cinnamon French toast if you like that, it's highly recommended with a side of bacon or sausage..

I used to really like this place, and have had a great experience in the past. However, I visited today and was incredibly disappointed. I ordered a cheese omelette, which was $15, and it was tiny. There was barely any cheese on it, and it tasted like the cheese was going bad - I couldn't stomach it. My friend got pancakes and a side of sausage. They were OK, but the prices have definitely increased. I get that it's tough right now for businesses too, so I'm sympathetic, but the bill was $41, not including the tip. Not in alignment with a no-frills diner experience. My friend has been coming here for years but after today's visit, we both decided we will not be coming back.

Went to this place . Seemed busy but with tables available . They have a sign to seat yourself but the lady told us not to and have a seat on a bench they have by the door . She then came to us to tell us if we wanted we could have a seat but that they were too busy to serve us. If you're over capacity, then lock the doors and turn off your Open sign . I understand restaurants get busy, but there are ways to tell a customer that there is no service . Lady needs to be a little nicer . Never coming back

Me and my friends come here every Wednesday and Saturday. The food and service is always great and the owner is always nice and welcoming to everyone. You see the whole range of people here so that says something about the warm environment in this place!

Great food don't get me wrong, but unless you're a white american person, you are not welcome, the whole restaurant will stare at you, and the servers... well no more comments.
