“Ok I have been meaning to try this spot for awhile and today the wife and I finally tried it. The wife had the hot mess which was in a nutshell eggs benedict, with bacon wrapped meatloaf and their house sauce. I tasted it and it was the bomb! I had the cavatelli noodles with house made Italian sausage and a a garlic sauce. Can't wait to go back and try another dish! Tables were clean, staff professional, great atmosphere, conveniently located, clean bathrooms.“

“Yolanda and the staff are the best. Great food and awesome service.“

“Yesterday, I went to pick up a to-go order and noticed that the employee managing the dining area was handling multiple tables by herself. She appeared very stressed, which I understand, and I don't blame her for being busy. My concern is that the attention given to pickup orders seemed to be overlooked.

After waiting patiently, she asked for the name on my order and informed me that they were finishing it up. However, by that point, I had already been there for nearly an hour and still had not received my food. She remained focused on the dine-in customers and later told me she would get my order right away.

What disappointed me most was the lack of communication. When my food was finally ready, it was simply left on a counter/table without anyone letting me know. The employee did not hand me the order or acknowledge that it was ready, and instead immediately returned to serving other customers.

I understand that busy shifts can be overwhelming, but all customers deserve the same level of service and communication, whether they are dining in or picking up an order. I hope this was just an unusually stressful day and that greater attention can be given to pickup customers in the future. The experience felt unprofessional, and my order was not handled with the care and attention I expected.“

“The food is superb! The owner always greets you when you walk in! The staff is friendly! The music is great! Can't forget my favorite bartender, Marty!“

“Very friendly and very good food.“

“The restaurant is very clean and the food is always fresh and healthy. The staff, including Lourdes, Priscilla, Madi, Maria, Caesar, and Vincent go out of their way to make my eating experience a whole lot of fun. That's why I eat there twice a week!!! Thanks everybody!“

“I lived in Murrieta for 7 years and today was the first time eating here in over 5 years. This restaurant has always been a hidden gem; great service and fantastic offerings with large portions. I remember always getting their country fried steak, back when it wasn't on the menu. I was happy to support this business regularly, especially during covid when restaurants were struggling. I'm happy to report today that unlike most restaurants over time, the service and quality of are still the same. Yes, the portions are noticeably smaller, and prices are little than what I remember, but it's understable considering today’s rising food prices and cost to operate a business. This a 5 star restaurant!“

“Very good service, friendly employees, great food. Restaurant was clean and inviting. Loved the music they were playing. This Sizzler definitely reminds me of when I used to go to sizzler when I was a preteen back in the 90s with my parents after church. Thank you!“

“Great food great drinks excellent staff!!“

“Samara was our waitress and she was amazing! The food has gotten so much better since they have changed the menu! I love it.“

“We live in Corona and, for years, enjoyed the original Hunny's Cafe on the corner of 6th and Main Sts. It closed a long time back, and reopened across Main Street in the former Grinders building. The staff, service and food choices remained varied and extensive. This location closed a couple years ago, leaving the Hunny's out in Temescal Canyon and the Elsinore store open. The Hunny's out in the canyon closed over a year ago, but we still make the drive from Corona to Lake Elsinore to visit our all-time Hunny's waitress, Debbie. This store is nice, too, and has some extended hours on weekends. The food is all good, and any 'issues' with any order or food is handled quickly, politely, and professionally. I don't mind the drive over and back, at all. We can easily recommend that you try Hunny's if you have never been there.“

“never had a bad meal extremely friendly staff.“

“We absolutely love love love coming here! We make the 30 minute drive about once a week and it never disappoints! The food is amazing, the staff is epic and one of the best parts about Finch is the bartender Brent! He’s like family and we go just to feel like home! We love this place and will tell everyone about it! Thank you Finch for being so cool inside, having amazing food and staff that feels like family!“

“Family perfection. Food is consistently delicious. Happens to be a bar there which is awesome. Female and military owned.“

“The only reason I’m giving five stars is because I want everybody to see this. This place is very dirty. Very disgusting. I came here and when I got my food, they made everything wrong and when I showed them proof, they refuse to fix my Food they don’t wear gloves when preparing the food and there is dirt everywhere and the employees cough all over the food. Do not come here it is very disgusting and very horrible. This is the worst hat I’ve ever been to I repeat do not come here.“

“Don't let the appearance fool you, this isn't just a strip mall restaurant. It's a stand alone restaurant that just happens to be in a strip mall. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner with American and Mexican choices. Great meatloaf, delicious omelettes, amazing albondigas soup, soul warming chili, I could go on. Coke products for the win. We visit weekly and I'm always excited to go because I know I'm going to eat well.“

“You will not be disappointed!“

“Stopped in on a rainy day, to enjoy some good breakfast and a hot cup of coffee, as I often do! The food is always delicious and always made to order. I stayed awhile watching the rain, and I always notice the servers are really good and friendly, always checking in asking if I need refills or anything else. I always admire how super clean everything is in there. The price of the food is pretty much equivalent to a fast food place, only here it’s always fresh and made to order. And like I said, the in restaurant dining far exceeds the commercial chain restaurant dining experience, with quick and fast service and no wait time to sit and eat!“
