Liver and onions, meatloaf, garlic bread were very delicious. The mashed potatoes were done from scratch. It was our 1st time and definitely not our last. Very friendly and attentive staff Maribel

Looking for a good spot nearby for the first meal of the new year. Wanted some comfort food , good portions , new to me. Looking online , this place popped up. Perused the menu and said “let’s go check it out”. My gal , her boy and I headed out. Got there and saw it was an older place so that gave me high hopes. Last this long , you’re doing something right. I ordered an omelette and my two picky eaters ordered an egg skillet and the other a burrito , minus quite a few of the ingredients (picky! )
Long story short , the food was delicious , portions were good , great service and I like older spots that look a little ramshackle..they have character and charm. I tried a bite of both of theirs and they were just as good as mine , so I’m excited at the prospect of our next visit. Plus , when the weather is nicer , they have a patio. They played soft oldies on the restaurant speakers , that was a nice touch. Definitely deserving of the 5 stars I gave. Check them out and have a happy 2026!

It’s almost not fair to leave a mediocre review, given how hard the staff works, but here goes:
I arrived a few minutes before 6PM and stood at the counter for almost 5 minutes before the only server told me to sit anywhere. There was LOTS of seating available, and the place wasn’t particularly busy. However, the line server was extremely busy, working very hard to satisfy her customers. It took a full 15 minutes after I entered the building for her to take my order, and another 15 minutes before she brought my Greek salad, which was quite good. I wanted spanakopita but they were all out. I wanted iced tea but they were all out ❓The entree arrived about 10 minutes later, so by the time I began eating the main part of the meal it had been a full 40 minutes since I walked in. I have been here several times before but had never ordered from the Greek or Mexican menus. Some of the gyros and skewered chicken meat was fine but a little dry, and some was overcooked and inedible. The rice pilaf was extremely buttery flavored. The pita bread was oily but tasty until it cooled off, then it was dry and not so good. The portion was HUGE and could easily have fed two people if it had all been edible. There is MUCH better Greek food nearby and I already know (without tasting theirs) that there is much better Mexican food nearby. I think I will stick to their traditional American menu in the future. I believe there was a single cook and perhaps a dish washer. The owner must be trying to squeeze out a profit by running the place with only 2 or 3 staff at a time.

They allow dogs on the patio, have exceptionally great food + portions! I had lunch with a local animal shelter dog + they surprised her with bacon! My new favorite dog date spot for sure!

This is my favorite place for chilaquiles verde. Best chilaquiles I’ve had. The tortillas have just the right crunch to it and the salsa is delicious. The only complaint I have here is the under staff. Took awhile to get our order in and out. Only saw to ladies serving and it was not that busy. Other than that it was great experience.

Expect a wait but it’s worth it! Good food, busy. Inside could use an update, it’s dated. Friendly servers. Give it a try.

Discovered this place while looking for a spot to have breakfast and read a chapter. What a find! This place has a rich atmosphere with this Route 66 theme that doesn’t feel at all pretentious owing to it’s scruffy urban feel. There’s a feeling of history here, a bit of hand painted sign peeks out from under a neon replacement that feels like layers. The interior has these tall expansive booths covered with a Route 66 themed fabric that would look out of place anywhere else. It feels old but we’ll cared for. The staff could not have been more warm and welcoming with a kind of edge, toughness that feels like classical diner waitress without feeling cliche. I was surprised and pleased to see a Greek influence on the menu! I ordered a Greek breakfast dish that was served with a deconstructed gyro that is simple and works really well. The joint (it feels a bit Noir) was not packed, but full and very busy both times I’ve been here — obviously a popular spot. And it just feels comfortable being here. I’m from North County and only get down here occasionally, but I’m in love with this place and look forward to breakfast whenever I’m down this way.

I had such a great experience here. The costumer service is great, the staff is really welcoming and friendly as well as efficient. I’m usually very picky with my coffee but they got it exactly right. The food was also really good. I don’t usually leave reviews but I wanted to thank the staff for their amazing work, a special shoutout to Cheyanne who went above and beyond when it came to costumer service and food quality. Totally recommend the place, amazing atmosphere I will definitely be coming back.

I’ve had the opportunity to try different breakfast dishes here and I must say I really do enjoy them. Both the food and service have been great so far, the music is very subtle so you can definitely carry a conversation. Located right off of the 94 in Lemon Grove across from the trolley station so it’s easy to get to. Perhaps the only downside is that it’s a little small so often times you may have to wait for a table.

The food is always great, but the service is what keeps me coming back. Max and Wendy are so amazing. My coffee cup is never empty!
