This restaurant is definitely unique in that it is truly 100% old school and gives you that nice feeling of a small family style restaurant. The service was great, upon entering we were greeted very nicely and our server was very kind & attentive as well. The food is hearty and filling. The portions were good and the pricing was extremely affordable as well. You can tell that most people that come here are regulars - that's always a good sign. I had the chicken fried steak. It was very tasty and what I expected ( that's a good thing!). I also shared the Texas French toast with my partner. It was delicious not too sweet and just right. If you're seeking a hearty breakfast on a weekend without long lines and tired of trendy brunches.. this is the place to be!

The service was very good & food came out out fast & warm. Not too many people here on a late Monday morning. Many senior locals. Comfortable atmosphere. They wrapped the silverwear in a napkin & when my husband opened his, the fork had a lot of dried egg on it. How did the wrapper miss that? My corned beef hash was burnt & very dry so I ate very little. My over medium eggs were perfect, as was my Sourdough toast.Gravy on my husbands biscuit was very bland. Had to add a lot of pepper for taste. We won't go back.

Thought I would try out another nice family restaurant and I'm so happy I did.I brought my Mom out to lunch and since I'm on Hawaiian time (3 hours) behind. It all worked out for us.I got breakfast and my mom got lunch.Everything we tried was delicious.The other winner is their homemade pies I came back at least 4 different times and tried most of their Pies.The Staff are really all very nice which makes this restaurant my new fave in Escondido.Much Mahalo to you All

Brought my dad for a some father daughter breakfast. He really enjoyed his steak and eggs. The portioned were decent. I had the Charlie special, my eggs weren't very seasoned. The pancakes and hashbrowns were super good. Will be back again for breakfast.

We came for breakfast. The staff is so friendly and attentive. The interior is diner style and pink. About the food. I give it three stars because most of my omelette and hash browns didn't have salt or butter. Not much flavor there, but knowing this, I'll still be back and add my own condiments. The coffee refills are on point and the coffee was decent. Not sure how I feel about the floral decorated plates.

Love how this place is old school type. They were pretty busy after church lets out on Sundays.You're always greeted at the door with a big smile and "welcome". Love that. Staff is always nice and friendly.It took a long time to get the food because it was so busy. But we got our mimosas pretty quick and some water.My wife got the buttermilk pancakes with eggs and bacon so I could eat my wife's pancakes as she ordered a cinnamon bun to eat with it instead. Food was just warm and ok flavor wise.The cinnamon roll came out much later then the meal did and it was cold barely warm in the center.I got the country benedict. It was okay but bland. Had to add a lot of salt & pepper.We got a piece of their fruit of the forest pie to go (many different berries & rhubarb). Haven't eaten that yet to share how it was. They have lots of meal specials and special dessert choices to choose from always too.Their menu is pretty large b-fast, lunch & dinner. We're going to try their lunch menu next time because we really like the staff here.

Absolutely phenomenal!!! Husband and I were in town for a week and I was craving pancakes. We hit this place up, and it's immediately getting added to our "places to return to".Good prices, super yummy food, a great selection on their menu, and fast quality service.
