20 Best American Restaurants in Vista

“Best Pancakes. Always good everything. 👍👍“

“We’ve been eating here for the last 2 years and have always had a great experience. Great soups, salads, sandwiches, and burgers. Also, our 5 year old loves their food.“

“We had a great breakfast and service was awesome“

“Been eating breakfast from Pegah's for awhile thru Doordash. Great homestyle food. Good eggs Benedict. Thanks to the Chef. ?“

“I’ve had a decent amount of Pleskavica on the road and this one was decent. This one is definitely more of a plain Jane version of the classic dish. It was a bit too much hamburger patty like for my preference, just not memorable. Probably could have used some kajmak and Ajvar. The place had a decent outdoor seating area as well and friendly to dogs~“

“Food is good however, I ordered my Eggs Bene pouched medium to hard they came super loose - yuck. They don’t tell you the potatoes are made with red potatoes- yuck. Lastly, the outside patio is filthy. Really really gross sticky.“

“Islands is one of those iconic chain restaurants that has truly stood the test of time, consistently delivering mouthwatering dishes that keep customers coming back for more. Our experience was made even better by our server, Nina, who was simply fantastic. She made sure we had everything we needed, seamlessly enhancing our dining experience.

We kicked things off with a heaping plate of nachos, and let me tell you, they were a game-changer. Picture crispy chips generously smothered in gooey melted cheese, topped with fresh tomatoes, zesty jalapeños, a dollop of sour cream, creamy guacamole, and a side of flavorful salsa. Each bite was a delight, especially with the extra cheese that pooled on the plate, perfect for scooping up with the bottom chips.

The drinks were nice and cold, hitting the spot. Then came our two burgers, cooked to perfection—juicy and full of flavor. And what better way to wrap up such a delicious meal than with a rich, decadent mud pie? It was the cherry on top of an already fantastic experience.

With impeccable service, scrumptious food, and prices that won’t break the bank, Islands continues to impress—making it a must-visit spot for any burger lover!

Vegetarian options: Almost every menu item can be made vegetarian.

Parking: The oversized parking lot is shared with the other businesses. But there always seems to be enough parking spaces.“

“Amazing place to go to if you're looking for the best burgers in vista area get the bbq bacon burger and chili cheese fries 🍔 let them know adrian sent you 😋 for the price value and size they do you justice her. 11.60 for a HALF POUND BURGER“

“The hidden gem in the desert. Almost drove by and didn't noticed it, but so glad I did. Burgers are made fresh like everything they serve, not frozen or microwaved. On way to Rancho Cucamonga from Vegas, stopped and ordered a breakfast burrito. It was great, so I stopped by on the way back to Vegas for a late lunch. Burger, fries & shake were the best. Highly recommend to anyone traveling thru. A+“

“My favorite sports bar to meet friends! And my puppy is welcome in the outside dining area. Oggi's has an extensive casual menu of fresh salads, specialty pizzas, burgers and gluten-free, healthy options that pair perfectly with craft beer and cocktails. The garlic knots bread appetizer is so YUM! Definitely order the larger portion size. I like the option of ordering Half or Full portion size for most dishes. Service was friendly and attentive. Recommend!“

“Food and service are awesome!!!“

“Love the burgers, hot dogs, sausages, etc. But the customer service is really where they shine. You feel like family here. The staff knows my daughter's order as soon as we roll up. They also have a great beer selection. Can't recommend enough!“

“All the above! Great service and friendly staff“

“I meet with a group every Wednesday morning for breakfast. That makes the atmosphere perfect along with the outstanding service we get from our waitress! The food is a solid four! It is always fresh and tasty, but you can tell it is very commercialized for the general public. Nothing fancy or above the ordinary, just good breakfast. If you eat off the budget menu, it is extremely affordable! Pretty close to what it would cost you if you purchased the product and cooked it at home yourself! Overall...at 6:30 am on Wednesday morning, it is well worth your time and money, if you are selective on your food choice and bring a bright attitude knowing and taking it for what it is!“
