If you are looking for home style comfort food this is the place! Huge menu with tons of choices and they are famous for their French toast! They do not serve alcohol here but there is a liquor store next door that they will allow you to pick up from and drink at your table. The cinnamon French toast is outstanding, even if you don't like French toast this was definitely a must try! The hash browns were excellent and cooked perfect! The gravy was flavorful and creamy. I really enjoyed the country Benedict it was absolutely delicious and really hit the spot. Service was fantastic and fast and they came over to refill our coffee plenty! Really cozy mom and pop environment, outstanding comfort food and 5 star service what more could you ask for?

So nice we did it twice! Came here on consecutive days because we enjoyed it so much the 1st time.You walk into a classic American diner. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The staff are all welcoming and nice.A good array of food choices from cinnamon french toast to Carne asada ranchero to corned beef and potatoes. The homemade salsa is SOOO good! The Carne asda has a great char on it. The cinnamon french toast is the perfect amount of sweet. Full disclosure; the Philly cheese steak omlette/scramble was good but not amazing. This place will definitely be a redo!

Overpriced with no alternative options such as gluten free or non dairy. The food is conventionally grown. At least the waiters are friendly!

Looks like this review was also long overdue 7/2022. I can't remember too much about this place except for the fast service and delicious food.Checking some recent reviews on here I can still see they are doing an awesome job with great momentum.Time for return and see what has changed.

Bare bones type of establishment. The interior is pretty plain but the food makes up for it. I enjoyed the skillet I ordered and the biscuit I ate tasted freshly baked. This is a bit off the path but El Cajon has a good breakfast/brunch spot.

No pictures of the food- service was so quick and was so good I ate everything!I got the Country Benedict because I had a craving for biscuits and gravy and hashbrowns. Not too many places have hashbrowns, they have some and herb potatoes too.My partner got the Athenian skillet which has gyro meat and Greek style over potatoes and topped with eggs. The server Kyla was really nice and we also got our drinks and everything so fast. She chatted with us a bit complimenting on my partner's 1981 shirt I saw lots of families and couples. They have booth seating, outdoor area and tables. Bright and clean inside. We'd come back when we're in town!
