The Alpine post of VFW is very nice. I called before…read morestopping in and the woman who took my call was friendly, inviting and knowledgeable and was a pleasure to talk to. My friend Bob Sortillion invited me to hear the band. The served a steak dinner on the night I visited. Thanks to bidenomics the dinner was $22.00. A bit more than I wanted to pay. But to be fair to me I was born in 55 and remember my parents saying how much prices have raised over the years. I ordered my steak very rare. The only way you can get it to me too rare is if you don't wave it in the smoke before plating it. It came out perfect. A nice big ribeye. It came with a baked potato,with butter sourcream and cheese, corn and a dinner roll. All were cooked well. The potato was smaller than I was used to, but then I don't need all the extra carbs. The ratio of corn to steak was great. I did feel for 22 bucks a sliver of dessert would have been a nice touch. My server was good. The guests were friendly. But not as friendly as those at the Ramona post. I have never sat alone at the Ramona post. Strangers have always invited me to sit with them. Perhaps covid has ruined that. Over all it was fun night, with good music, and good food..

I had breakfast here at his VFW in Alpine, a breakfast that is opened to the public, and I ordered…read morethe 2 egg breakfast, which I asked if they could make it into a omelette with the side of bacon and they sure did for $8.50 I believe. I had the breakfast with crispy hash browns and for a $1 more, I upgraded my toast to a small side of biscuits gravy. Honestly, I thought the meal was a three star affair to 3.5, but I upped it a star on the account that, even though I was a stranger in the mix, everyone from the bar keep, veterans, patrons, my lovely server, and the local biker club made me feel at home, therefore comfortable. This was very important to me because I felt very out of place when I showed up. The omelet was good but a little on the cold side given it sat at the makeshift pass for a bit. The singer server at the time got slammed by a large unexpected crowd, so patience was in order. The eggs were well prepared and it came with a very good amount of chewy flavorful bacon and melted cheese. Seasoning was good, but I added some simple black pepper because that is just the way I roll. The hash brown came with a crispy exterior and was soft center. They tasted good, especially with a couple of serving from the "Cholula" hot sauce they offer in the table. The biscuits and gravy were pretty good. I liked the biscuits given they were fluffy yet semi dense and had a light crispiness on their exterior. The offer a mild flavor which balanced well with the savory sausage gravy a top. The gravy came with tender bits of country breakfast sausage, and other than the gravy needing a little seasoning, it was good. This VFW is much larger than it appears from when you first arrive. The amount of inside seating is modest which include a good size bar, but they also offer a lot of outside seating, including a portion of the patio that offers a terrific view of the valley below and onward to the coast. It was a good breakfast, but like I said, it was an even better friendly bunch of people at this VFW: the cornerstone on what they do so well. They treat people like people should, like equals.

VTS ensures our military service members reintegrate back into civilian life and the civilian workforce into careers suitable for their level of military experience and economic sustainability. This is achieved by providing service members with effective tools to translate their military experience into recognizable civilian job skills, civilian certifications to transfer military experience into its civilian counterpart, identifying needed training to fill skill gaps and one on one mentoring in four critical areas required to sustain a successful transition: Career Development, Cultural Adaptation, Obtaining VA Benefits and Education Planning. The VTS goal is to seamlessly transition all military personnel who enter the Veterans Transition Support program prior to leaving military service through individual mentoring, career management, counseling, and weekend and evening programs that close skill gaps and provide networking opportunities with civilian hiring managers.

VFW Coronado is a wonderful place to appreciate all in service or retired Veterans!!!!…read more I'm a lifetime Auxiliary Member at this VFW because of my grandfather, my mother's father, Dr. Newman Kennedy Bear, that was a Corpsman in WW1 and a Flight Surgeon in WW2. He was stationed in 1929 at Naval Air Station North Island (NASNI) in Coronado. He was cast as an extra in the last silent, black and white film by MGM called "The Flying Fleet". He played the roll as a Naval Medical Officer testing the Naval Academy Graduate Pilots for their air-worthyness to fly the then bi-planes on the NASNI cow pasture. He was also stationed on the original USS Midway during WW2, but fortunately was not on it when it was sunk by a Japanese Comacazzi Pilot in the Lettee Gulf during WW2. Another factor for me honoring Veterans is the fact the my father, John C. Ivanoff, as a Captain in the U.S Army stationed at an England military base, under the then General Dwight Eisenhower at Bletchly Park England as part of the team helping to decipher the German Enigma during WW2.

I asked for my eggs over medium and the meal also came with house breakfast potatoes and toast. I had rye toast and the meal cost $8 donation. The lady in the kitchen hit the eggs right on the money and they came with a slow run yolk and were partially cooked through. The eggs were lightly seasoned but I did add some black pepper. Pepper and eggs are my thing. The pork chops was thick, very tender, and tasty. However, I do recommend that they render the fat along the edges better, not to get rid of it, but to elevate the texture and give it a some crunch or crispiness, not to mention some color. The potato cubes were good. They had nice color, tender, and offered a nice crisp edge. They were also seasoned well. They rye toast was good. They went a little heavy on the butter for my taste, but then again, I like to spread my own butter on my toast. Lisa, the young lady on the floor that morning was very nice and helpful. Good service.
