“Banana Nutella crepe is a must have“

“My biscuit and gravy were the 💣! Can't wait to go back🙂“

“Giving them 5 stars because im grateful. I stopped for a quick drink ($8 shake to go on a small cup- a bit steep).but I forgot my purse and im super grateful the server/hostess/cashier...(superman one man show) had it in the back and returned it to me. So grateful for the honesty.
This is still my spot to have coffee w some pancakes and catch up with friends and always get good service. Although I always feel bad for the person working there because they are understaffed.
Just wanted to share a gratitude post for the servers honesty. Wish I had gotten his name.“

“Always great service and delicious food prepared fresh. Family atmosphere and worth the wait.“

“Brunch done right with generous portion. No line on a Thursday morning. We came here through Yelp recommendations. The staff were very welcoming and came by to check on our table often. Donny was our server. Restaurant was clean and roomy. We ordered Carnitas Breakfast Skillet and Chicken Waffles. Both so good. Apple pie was good too. Not too sweet. Would come back in the future!“

“First time to Broken Yolk Cafe. Loved the atmosphere and great food! The people who work there are so friendly makes you feel like you’re home💕Thank you Ron for my bread and the ladies behind the bar for wonderful drinks!!! We will definitely be back if I am rating it on a scale of 10 I give it a 20.“

“Jane’s Cafe is the kind of neighborhood spot you wish you had everywhere. Friendly, fast service and genuinely fresh food.

Our breakfast burritos came hot with crispy potatoes, the grilled panini on ciabatta was melty and satisfying, and the açaí bowl tasted super fresh. Coffee’s legit too (they pour Illy).

Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the team treats you like family. We’ll be back!“

“Most amazing brunch we have had in a long time. Our server, Valentina, was absolutely amazing and super nice. We were just overwhelmed by the welcoming atmosphere of this beautiful place. Mind you, the food was out of this world including my Bloody Mary, which was served with a freshly roasted jalapeño and two strips of very crispy bacon, sticking out out of the top along with some delicious mint leaves. We will be back many more times! Thank you so much for making our Sunday great! We’re so happy we found you guys“

“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.“

“The owner Judy is so nice & the staff are wonderful! They updated their menu recently to reflect new pricing. A gem of a place to eat in South Park!“

“This place was awesome.

Stopped in for a quick breakfast before whale watching, being out of towners we didn’t know where to go. Daughter has a dairy allergy and it’s tricky at times to find the right place. Emma’s was everything we needed, they made sure to fit in my daughters dietary needs and even made sure the food came out quickly so we could make our whale watching“

“One of my go-to spots for breakfast! The restaurant is always clean, the staff is friendly, and the food is consistently excellent. You can really tell everything is made in-house and with care. They frequently offer new specials and seasonal dishes, which keeps the menu fresh and exciting. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Definitely worth a visit—you won’t regret it!“

“Forage and Flame’s food is incredibly creative and delicious! Their attention to detail with food, ambience and decor at each and every event I’ve attended including the monthly Supper Club dinners, picnics and brunches is unrivaled. The presentation is always on point! Have made so many wonderful friends at the events and tons of memories. Can’t wait for the next dinner and all the holiday offerings!“

“Been waiting for my food for about an hour at this point. Other guests have been seated served and left already while we still wait on our order. We've asked and have been given no time estimate of when the food will arrive.

Update: got my food, carried to my room so we could eat while getting ready for the rest of the day. Food is ok. Steak was overcooked. The waitress was kind and sympathetic.

Update 2: day 2, service is still great. Atmosphere is the same of course. The food was actually really good even if it took a while yesterday. Might update the stars from 1 to more depending on how it goes!“

“Good food. Good service. Good prices“

“Had a great brunch today with my daughter!“

“I had one of the most awesome crepe and cheesecake ever. Service was amazing and the nutella and strawberry cake was exquisite“

“The fluffy pancakes practically melted in my mouth. The service was friendly and attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience. The coffee was hot and fresh, a perfect complement to the meal. The restaurant was clean and inviting, with a comfortable atmosphere. I would happily recommend this dining establishment to others.“

“Really good breakfast meal. The service was great“

“Food was good. I was able to get a nice, very full, 3 egg white omelet with spinach mushroom tomatoes and a pretty topping of Avocado slices.
(The old cholesterol needs to come down, so it was my best bet)
Decent size fruit cup.
Didn't have that "cooked on a grill with layers of grease from a hundred other breakfasts" taste.

Also added the Fluffy French Toast, which seems to be my "latest craving - could eat it anytime food." (I cheated. Just half the slice)

And the bread is "fluffy!" At least the size of 2 big slices of regular bread. Different & good.

I loved my waitress, Lizzie. She had the sweetest smile and was very attentive to our table and extras we would need.

The menu looks newer and it's a nice upgrade they did. Also, a nice change from eating at another
Diner favorite a lot.

This IHOP on North Second Street/Oakdale, El Cajon, is my favorite one & I would recommend it.
It can be noisy when the kids are eating, but, hey, so is Disneyland!“

“Great food and service. We didn’t have to wait. We were seated right away and I food came out quickly.“

“Great place to spend with your family while attending school.“

“Another good breakfast. Food was par for IHOP. Miss the days of multiple flavored syrups on the table. We came during a busy time and only had to wait 20 minutes. Our server was Kelsey and she worked her butt off giving great service to all her tables. She definitely got her steps in and I’m not sure she stopped moving the whole time we were there. Nice young lady, pleasure to be served by her. We will be asking to be in her area on our next visit.“

“This place is commendable for the staff- My sister forgot her purse under the table. When she realized in horror the mistake, we were almost back at her house. So we phoned the store and they recovered and kept the purse safe until retrieved. Great job and great honesty team! Will definitely come back.“
