“This place is a traditional go-to for a typical brunch experience. While nothing too surprising, my friend and I had a good time. The wait was a little long, but not unbearable. If you're in the mood for a classic brunch outing, this spot is a reliable choice for a pleasant meal.”

“I was looking for a breakfast spot with some decent seating and food, so I just stumbled upon here with a friend. Everything was so solid! If I imagine what a great all-American cafe diner is, this place fulfills all those expectations. So much Americana decor everywhere haha. And the waitress who served us was really sweet. Lots and lots of parking available.”

“Here we go: Cons: 1. A party of 2 that came in after us got sat before us because “they knew the host” we waited 45 to be seated. It was busy and then this happened. 2. Latte’s was small and didn’t taste that great. Stacks have much better lattes and much bigger Pros: 1. Server was polite and attentive 2. The food was jam packed with flavor 3. The coffee was strong and big serving 4. Good size portions (we had no leftover) 5. The side of bacon wins the highlight of this review. 6. Good vibes only and good old school ambiance Will come back to try another dish”

“Awesome place! Burgers are top notch and cooked to perfection. Burger, fries and beer combo is unbeatable at $10. Would not believe this is possible in La Jolla. Fries are great too - fresh, crispy, well seasoned with minimal oil. Leftover burgers taste as good as fresh ones. Would definitely recommend! 5 bears out of 5 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺”

2901 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90405, United States

”Really good diner! Probably one of the best diner experiences specially for the price! Would definitely recommend this place. Coffee is pretty bad, but the food is delicious. Nothing fancy or special, but good comfort food. The frecnch toast is my favorite, really well made. The service is great, staff is really nice and attentive. Eggs, potatoes, omelets are all good.”

”I wish I could like this place more, but alas. There was a long line on a Saturday morning; when we stepped in, we were greeted by a quaint interior and a bustling atmosphere. All the signs were good, at least up to that point. There was a long wait for our food. When it arrived, it was average at best, and certainly not worth the $40 we paid. The Country Fried Steak was particularly dismal. Perhaps we visited on a bad day for the chef, but I don’t think we’ll be back.”

”This restaurant is a great place to stop for breakfast or lunch. My wife had the taco salad and I ordered the ham and eggs for breakfast. The staff is friendly and you feel at home when you are there. I can't wait to order the chicken fried steak on our next trip.”

23811 Aliso Creek Rd STE 122, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677, United States

”Great place to get food. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. There could be a wait to order your food, but the line moves quickly.”

14196 Amargosa Rd STE A, Victorville, CA 92392, United States

”This place is a must try. I had breakfast and it was awesome. The waitresses were wonderful and kind. They give you a sign to put at your table when they sit you. You turn it over when you are ready to order your food. I think this is a wonderful idea so that they are not rushing you to order. They put the true meaning in team work. I will return here.”

531 S Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas, CA 92024, United States

”Great place that has been here for YEARS, historic actually. Dog friendly, not just service dogs , allowed outside on the patio. Patio shaded, dogs get treats, and seating is very comfortable. We ate fish tacos, and they were fantastic. Cole slaw was excellent, salad was perfect. Plenty of drinks and dishes to choose from. Inside the Cafe is incredibly fun and interesting to see, booths are comfortable, seating is very great. Nice staff. Clean. Bathrooms are clean and easy access. Do not miss the opportunity to eat here, and enjoy!”

24989 CA-16, Capay, CA 95607, United States

”This is a nice spot. It is clean inside with a great vibe. We went in for the dollar burger dollar fries Thursday deal. It was worth the price. The waitress was not the best nor worse I have had. It is in the Esparto area, and I would say worth the drive.”

901 Chapala St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, United States

”Great place for breakfast and lunch! Food was very good. We had the Blackened Salmon and the Corned Beef Hash with a side of French Toast. Very tasty and generous portions! Rather busy around 11am when we were there. There seemed to be only one server.”

550 Wave St, Monterey, CA 93940, United States

”Very nice to see a few dishes that aren't usually seen in other diners. Very good portions I could only finish half of my corned beef hash. I wish coffee refills could come quicker.”

”Great place. Good food and friendly staff”

31722 Rancho Viejo Rd, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675, United States

”Bravos California Fresh had a welcoming atmosphere as I walked in. It's a popular spot, and there was a moderate line with about 8 people ahead of me. I tried the breakfast burrito, which was okay, but I didn't like the style of potatoes inside. However, the burrito has potential, and I'm thinking of asking for crispy potatoes next time. The menu is extensive, and I'm looking forward to trying one of the burgers next time. The staff was friendly, making the experience even better.”

31752 Los Rios St, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675, United States

”This was one of the best brunches I’ve had in years. The coffee cake had the perfect balance of sweet, tart, creamy, and crumbly. The crab hash was uniquely delicious! And the atmosphere and service were flawless. Definitely explore Los Rios Street! It has some charming shops and an old California character.”

32 Lafayette Cir, Lafayette, CA 94549, United States

”Dinner has never been more special. Utter perfection of dishes, superb service, and one of THE best atmospheres to dine in. Food is of the highest quality and price is valid. Explore your pallet here because nothing can go wrong, I’d recommend the octopus App. If you’re looking for a date night spot for a special dinner, or a sensational brunch The Hideout Kitchen & Cafe should be tour next stop.”
