Del Monte Cafe

just now New Breakfast | $10–20 I decided to take my girlfriend First time at this place this morning (12/12/25) we sit and ordered two of the specials they had for breakfast, the food arrived and I ordered Eggnog toast wich was tasty after removing literally 7oz of jam that was poured on top of it, my girlfriend got a special blueberry pancakes and I noticed that the first bite she had she completely changed her face impression, I asked if her pancakes were OK and she asked me to try it, I work in the restaurant business and I know what's meant good food , I tried and honesty were testing rubber, looking like plastic pancakes, I was very disappointed, my 13 years old boy makes way better pancakes than that. Then I got to tell our sever and she responded (Strange) I keeped my mouth close and she went away after asking her for the bill. She showed up at the table and got me the bill with those HORRIBLE PANCAKES on it, I asked to removed because we barely eaten and she start to say that we had eat more than half witch is not true, she give me a very BAD attitude when she was swiping my card, she didn't even say, Have a good day or anything, VERY BAD SERVICE!! We will never go back to this place again. I live in Slo for over 22 years, I been there so many times but I guess food or service quality are going down. Have a nice day and thank you for got my day started BAD.

Sweet clean small town and tasty

We put our name on the list and they skipped us for a party that put their name on the list 10-15 minutes after us.

My tip was altered without my knowledge. From reading past reviews it seems to be a recurring issue.

I've loved this place since I was a kid. They had a chilaquiles special. That was the best chilaquiles I've ever had. And of course the wait staff is wonderful as ever. Great job.

Just average food. Grumpy service. I ordered a hamburger. The bun didn't hold up. The burger came apart while eating. Sloppy mess. My partner ordered a Cobb salad. The portion size was enormous. The salad was mediocre.

Really expensive for what you get. Just a diner, nothing special. I was underwhelmed.

I loved the location and the building, the staff were really kind, unfortunately I had a hair in my food and the cook was bald... Server was kind and understanding about it and she offered a discount on it, but still ended up charging full price :(

The service was disappointing and unfriendly. The food made up for that. The look of the restaurant was like an old time dining. In a good way. The Chicken Fried Steak was Excellent. Do not get the stuffed French toast. They were a disappoint. Cooked nicely but the filling was very bland. The strawberries on top couldn’t fix the flavor.

Don't know why I had never eaten here before yesterday. Cute diner with lots of vegetarian options, friendly service, and generous portions. Reminded me a bit of Luke's Diner from the Gilmore Girls, at least the counter. ☺️

Excellent breakfast. Decor is a bit funky, needs a good cleaning. Enjoy the company you're with and their great foot and you will have a good time.
