    Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 The atmosphere is warm and bustling, classic diner vibes. Service is quick to seat you and is generally friendly. We got: - California burger: it was a bit much, overly oily and I did not finish it, the fruit wasn't the softest ripest either but it was okay, kept cold - scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns: okay as well, bacon is crispy enough, hash browns tasted bland and overly oily I didn't love the food but the overall place is decent. There's a lot in front of the diner for parking which we found a spot easily in at 10am on Monday

    Vanilla creamer

    Parking lot is tight. Entry is on the side. Busy but I was sat right away. Nice staff. Oldies radio station playing. Ceiling fans I am sure keep it cooler but it also blows my hair into my mouth the entire time. Senior menu. Coffee is weak. They do have vanilla creamer if you ask. Ordered Eggs Florentine and added Canadian bacon and onions and peppers on my hash browns which was forgotten and came on a different plate after. English muffin was burnt and black and covered up with Hollandaise. There is no way the cook didn't see what he was covering. Hollandaise is strong and thick. Canadian bacon was thick. Spinach was fresh. Eggs were way overcooked - no sexy egg dripping - solid all the way through. Every thing needs to be seasoned. I don't think they season while they cook at all. I won't be back.

    My fiancé & I wanted to go out for breakfast and decided to check out this place. I've actually never been here before but we wanted to try somewhere new. I ordered the country fried steak & eggs. For my two sides I got the cottage cheese and dollar pancakes. I enjoyed my country fried steak and they had good cottage cheese (some places don't lol). The pancakes were okay. My fiancé got the Canadian bacon & eggs. For his two sides he got hash browns and biscuits & gravy. He really loved the biscuits & gravy, he said it was so good. He enjoyed his Canadian bacon as well but said he would probably order them crispier next time. He didn't like the hash browns that much though, he said some parts tasted cooked good and some didn't. Overall though, we enjoyed our meal! It was a good first time experience. Their menu is also pretty big. I didn't see a lot of menu photos on here so I made sure to take pics of the whole thing. I definitely want to come back to try some of their lunch items next time and maybe even dessert. We also got seated pretty quickly and parking was fine. :)

    You must eat here it's so cool and they're so nice! And the food is so awesome they gave us this cool little salsa boat and they're fast. Has a small diner vibe. Nice music and friendly service :) i definitely recommend. A new favorite. Also the prices are not outrageous which is so nice these days.

    Pancakes and crunchy taco
    Tania L.

    I have been wanting to try this place for a while now. Finally came around to getting to try it and it was fantastic. The food is delicious and the menu is rather large, so something for everyone. I wanted to try everything, I did get some pancakes which were a classic staple for dinner / brunch spots. I even got a crunchy taco which was so good and they give salsa on the side to dress the taco up. The ambience is very casual and the place is not super large but they make use of all the space pretty well. The service was great and we were seated right away. I'm only bummed they aren't open later most days. I also wasn't a big fan of the coffee, it was a little on the light side for my taste but not bad. I would come back and try something new because they have so many options, it all sounded so tasty. I would say this is a much better version of a local chain breakfast spot. Don't let the outside fool you, and be carful not to pass the parking lot since there is only one entrance/ exit area.

    We were unfamiliar with it, but stopped by Amy's because it was near my daughter's house and near the freeway to head home. I'm so glad we took the chance! This is a small establishment next to a motel (wasn't too excited for that, thinking it would be crowded). The parking lot is very small with small parking spaces. The inside is homey and seemed to be filled with locals not motel guests. We were seated immediately with drink and food orders taken soon after. There were five of us but the food still came out quickly. I ordered my standard biscuit and gravy breakfast which is definitely not their specialty. Later I saw that they offered menudo but I didn't see it on the menu and I was sad because I would rather have had that. Oh well, I'll need to come back. I'm sorry I didn't take photos of the food. Lunch is served all day and the Parmesan burger was really good. They have hot sauce on the table but also offer a trio of salsas for your food and they were all really good. I recommend Amy's; it isn't fancy at all but offers good satisfying food!

    I had a family member give us a certificate for Amy's so my sister and I decided to give it a try. We went on a Monday afternoon a bit before 2 and we saw they close around 3 on every day besides Tuesday so we wanted to make it a fast trip. Walking in we saw the restaurant was a bit slow and there were only 2 other customers there. Very cute little diner with paintings and little decorations. I got the Ham, Turkey, and Bacon club with onion rings and my sister got the avocado burger with fries. They were both delicious and it took me by surprise that the restaurant was as slow as it was with such good comfort food. The waitress we had was so nice and attentive she checked in 3-4 times and we didn't have a single complaint. The serving size was so big especially for the prices. I would totally recommend coming to check them out.

    First time coming here place was a little very busy. Staff was nice and friendly and food was good. Place seemed to be clean. I would give this place another try. The only thing parking is a little rough small parking lot and the rest of the parking is for a hotel only.

    Egg Benedict
    Stef M.

    Well I visited here twice this trip and had the eggs Benedict delicious big portions . My friends had the omelette which came with TWO sides a lot of food and no complaints.The bisc and gravy was good . The waiter was un believable he was so accurate and speedy . The place seems busy but not hard to get a table . Definitely returning

    Chilaquiles scramble with chorizo and eggs over medium
    Carrie U.

    Went here for the first time yesterday and was really impressed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. I had the chilaquiles skillet with chorizo and home fries. Portions were big. I'm planning on going back next week!!!

    Inside

    Don't be fooled by the parking lot, this diner is a hidden gem! Everything we had was delicious, the service was fast (especially for a Saturday morning!) and we would highly recommend! The only downside was that the menu had so many great options it was hard to decide

    Chicken Enchilada
    Daryl E.

    Usually come here for breakfast since the omelettes are very nice portions and reasonably priced. (And the service is always A+) Decided to pop in for lunch the other day and tried the two taco plate with a chicken enchilada on the side. Two taco plate came with chips and salsa - you can tell the chips are made in house, Salsa is very tasty. Tacos were well made Chicken enchilada was the star, very well made. Can't go wrong with this place.

    Are the hours different? I don't see them open like how Yelp says at 7 am.

    So did Amy's move to another location? Sad to see it closed.

    I'm here at the one on Magnolia and it's open. This is my first time here so don't know if there was any other location. Hopefully that answered your question 😊

    First off, I've never been to a Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar in any city that I've lived in. I've…read morelived in San Diego and I've lived in Baldwin Park and always seem to forget this place exists. Here's my honest review! We got to Lazy Dog in Corona around 9:45 pm where the greeter met us right away and took us to a booth located in the bar area. I am a bit weary of booths, and also weary of high top tables because I'm pregnant and have difficulty climbing/stretching just to sit in high top tables and weary of how tight booths can be in certain restaurants. The booth here at Lazy Dog was perfect! We got our menus and began looking until our server approached us. He introduced himself, his name was Javier, and asked us if this was our first time, to which he replied that yes it was. He explained the menus we were given and took our drink order while we reviewed the menus. Since it was happy hour, we tried their buffalo wings and Tangy BBQ Chips to start. I did not take pictures of those items and wish I had. The happy hour items we ordered were delivered by the Manager, who was very nice and chatted with us briefly. She welcomed us as first timers and that usually sets the stage for us when the manager interacts with the customers. The wings had a nice flavor and the chips were definitely addicting. My husband asked for a dipping cup of the high altitude sauce (Javier said it was their hottest) and that was a pretty good sauce with good flavor. To drink I had a Strawberry Citrus refresher, and it was actually really good. Husband had a regular Michelob Ultra, and had no complaints. We both chose food items from the menu, under the $15 Fireside Favorites. You get a choice of an entree and desert. Husband chose the fried chicken dinner with an extra piece of fried chicken and I chose the fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp. The food was good, I enjoyed my fettuccini Alfredo which I'm usually picky about. The husband was a little thrown off as he thought the chicken was going to be like bone in fried chicken, and in the end he said it was good regardless. For desert, he got the S'more Brownie Sundae and I got the Banana Pudding. I was sold on the banana pudding, as was my husband. We ended up finishing my desert and took his brownie home (which got eaten later during our movie at home). I have to say, I'd definitely come back. There was so much on the menu that I would like to try.

    Haven't been here for 2 years. We arrived there about 8 p.m. I ordered the Honey Miso Chicken Meal…read more It's a new item on the menu $15 Fireside Favorite. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste. There were about 6 chunky chicken pieces, they were lightly breaded, tasted like white breast meat; also there was ginger, garlic, zucchini, onions, a few red bell peppers, and water chestnuts in the bowl. Included was cucumbers salad and steamed rice. I've had their chilled cucumber salad before and this time the cucumber taste wasn't the same, guess the juice would blend too much with the miso sauce. The bowl could have had more honey miso sauce. The chicken pieces were about 1-2" in size. The sauce was mostly over the vegetables. The meal also came with a choice of S'more brownie sundae or banana pudding. My pudding was delicious. The waitress didn't come around often to check on our needs. I had to stop her to ask for paper napkins, water refill and the check. I would definitely go back.

I also ordered a beer flight and my friend the boozy soda flight. The beers were mid, the boozy sodas weren't even cold, and they were way too sweet. I could taste the dyes. My sandwich was not good. The chicken tasted like it was from smart and final mopped with sauce. The fries were decent, but not what I was expecting since this place prides itself on "homemade" foods. My husband's burger tasted like reheated beef. It was overdone. Very much a let down. The burger salad. My friend picked through and it wasn't even like what you would think for a burger salad. The wings, I consider my friends husband an expert at trying these..he said they tasted like from a bag and fried. Not very good at all. I was gravely disappointed in the quality of the food and drinks. I was so looking forward to coming back, but likely I will not be returning. The staff was friendly, very kind and upbeat. But, that's not enough for me to patronize an establishment. I just expected a lot more effort in the food since I always see how they advertise themselves on IG and FB.

It wasn't until my sister called me that I realized my Hermès bracelet was missing.. and that it had fallen off at the restaurant. What amazed me even more was finding out that the owner had personally called several customers who had dined there that evening trying to track down the owner of the bracelet. When my sister went to pick it up, we wanted to leave him something as a small thank-you, but he refused multiple times. That kind of honesty and genuine kindness is so rare, and it really stayed with us. We left saying that Cisco is now going to be one of our places for birthdays, celebrations, and family gatherings. When someone runs a restaurant with that much integrity and care, it says a lot about the way they run everything else too. And the food absolutely lived up to it. The pasta was delicious, the chicken was excellent, and every appetizer we ordered was amazing. Even the kids loved everything. Great food is one thing, but being treated with this level of honesty and kindness makes a place truly special. We will absolutely be back, many times.
