Possibly the worst breakfast ever. The food was cold and tasteless. The potatoes tasted old. And the price was very high. We would not recommend this at all.

The pancakes are simply enormous. Feeds 3. The biscuits and gravy are vile. Way too much gravy, not enough sausage or biscuit. Everything else is decent. I ate the biscuits and gravy, hence my score of 2/5.

So so at best. Small portions and average quality food. Serving was decent and the place is quaint. But nothing exciting.

I would give 10 stars on all of it if I could! We were visiting the beach and needed a brunch pick me up and this place was recommended . Food was amazing and the staff was just lovely. The salsa was to die for and they gave me a big containers to have chips and salsa on the beach! Can't wait to come back this will be a regular stop for us. Note: they are cash only but also venmo!

Easily the worst breakfast I’ve ever had. The huevos rancheros was like slop. Had to have come straight out of a can. My wife had the French toast which was dry. Their potatoes weren’t even good, which was the whole reason we pit stopped there from the freeway. We hardly ate anything, yet still walked out of there $100 poorer. Someone in my group said how sad it was that they actually wish we went to Dennys instead

Always such a great place to have breakfast at. Manhole size pancakes and delicious potato’s made the way you want. Patio is dog friendly.

I used to go here all the time back before Covid when I used to live in Encinitas. Recently went back and was surprised to see they don’t have “endless potatoes” anymore and the scrambled eggs were nasty and tasted like microwaved cafeteria eggs from a box and not fresh eggs.
It’s a shame because the staff is nice, but the food has really fallen off since I used to live here.
