“Very friendly staff. Patrons are very nice - said good morning to a few folks here. Potatoes are very good. I always feel like if a diner gets the potatoes right, everything else must be good. Indeed it was. Nice little somewhat hidden gem of a diner.“

“Fay’s Diner and Cafe was such a cute little spot and I really enjoyed my visit.

The atmosphere was warm, casual, and comfortable. It had that nice local diner feel where you can just come in, sit down, and enjoy a good meal without feeling rushed.

The portions were really good too. I definitely felt like I got a nice amount of food for the price, and everything was filling without feeling overdone.

I also liked that the place felt relaxed and easy. Sometimes the best places are the ones that are simple, welcoming, and consistently good, and that was the feeling I got here.

Overall, Fay’s Diner and Cafe was a great stop. Cute atmosphere, good portions, and a nice place to grab a meal. I would definitely come back again if I was in the area.“

“We tried the Burrito, and I had the Fish Soft Taco, which I loved. However, the beef bowl with avocado, beans, rice, peppers, and tomatoes in this shop, it felt like too much going on flavor-wise. On the bright side, we enjoyed the delicious pineapple juice. The server is nice and I asked to get another Juice and he said pay after when we are done, he told me next time. Thank you for the treat! Overall, it was a good experience at Roberto’s Taco Shop in Santee.“

“My two Christian brothers and I come here at least twice a month and we have been for about a year is a small
The first Few times we had a server that was not a happy person and then we got to know Neiby As a server and we make sure we sit in her area
She is the friendliest nicest, and best server that I think anywhere that I eat
Your value menu is what started us coming here, but we don’t always order on that. We are glad you have it raised your prices and that you have kept Neiby On the payroll
We are glad she’s workinghere for our breakfast
We asked her how we can give her an A+ grade or five star rating

Thank you for the opportunity I will try to do a good review on yelp and others also“

“I went to iHop and I had an incredible breakfast experience. Largely thanks to our server Angie. She had a fantastic recommendation of the menu (especially when she told me about the 7 dollar menu) and my food was taken care of good. She had positive attitude. My water glass was never empty and she would check up on me all time. Outstanding service. I’ll definitely be back and I’ll be asking to be served by Angie.“
