We decided to come here for Friday Night dinner tonight. When we arrived, we noticed that there was…read moresignage about th charging $10 to come in and listen to the live music. We were only there to get dinner and so we didn't realize that you can also just come for the live music with a $10 admission fee. When we approached the host station, Wilbur the host and server he explained it to us. Since we were just having dinner, we were good to be seated in the dining room. We were seated in the middle of the room at a bar top dining table. They did have booths, but they were all taken. It was still a really good spot and as we could see the televisions above the bar. This is a really lively place on Friday night. Some patrons pay $10 for live music and dancing. They also have access to the bar in the dancing area which is a patio outside. We ordered: Cornbread appetizer, 1 Flat iron steak dinner-cooked medium, and 1 Cobb Salad with Chicken added as a protein. I don't care for balsamic vinaigrette, so I requested that my dressing was the Caesar dressing. I also had a Tamarindo margarita which was absolutely delicious. The bartenders were very busy. There were two ladies as bartenders. They were very, very efficient and I watched them operate. The vibe and the customer service at the bar seemed great. The patrons in the dancing area with live music had access to a bar window so that they could make their drink orders at that bar window. I thought this was very convenient. Our food came out in a timely manner and the cornbread was absolutely delicious. It comes with a honey butter that is very tasty. My husband said his flat iron steak was great and he ate the whole meal. He seemed to really enjoy it, which was nice. I was a little full from the cornbread so I only ate maybe a third of my Cobb salad. The Cobb salad was really good and fresh. The added protein was grilled chicken and it was a dry. The Caesar dressing was absolutely yummy. I noted that it also had a garlic flavor to it which contributed to the enhancement of taste. Our server's name was Wilbur and he took care of us for the whole dining experience. He had excellent customer service and was very attentive overall. We really appreciated how Wilbur was so dedicated to detail as our server. He checked on us appropriately, he verified what we needed, and he also just sort of took care of everything when it came to packing up our food to go. Since we are new customers, we will probably come back just because of the excellent customer service from Wilbur. The food was good and very reasonably priced. My Margarita was also fantastic. Again, the vibe was great and a lot of positive energy is going on here. Thanks for a great experience Wilbur! Also the manager or owner of the establishment checked in with us while we were finishing up our dining. This was a very meaningful encounter and we appreciate appreciated it as well. It's always nice to see the owner or manager taking pride in their venue.

I came here over the weekend, on Sunday, just looking for a quick bite and to relax. I saw on the…read moremenu, before I arrived, they had cornbread and I was craving some. Outside, there was a band/dj combination playing 90's music from all genres, and a nice fun crown outside dancing. The weather was nice so I could sit inside and enjoy the music. I am not a big burger person but this place def topped the scales in a positive way! Their burger was amazing! The sweet potato fries were a little overdone (dark) but not burnt so I didn't have to return them. But the star of the show was their version of an espresso martini, but made with tequila. GAME CHANGER! SO SMOOOTH! I was disappointed they had run out of the cornbread. I am only in town for a few more days so I came back tonight for one last espresso and to see if they had cornbread, which they did. Huge portion, delicious flavor and honey butter adds another layer of deliciousness! Worth it. Laid back atmosphere tonight. Large space, lots of room, friendly staff both visits. Def worth a trip. And good parking! Which is worth the drive, if you know anything about San Diego.

Very welcoming and fun ambiance here. Really friendly staff that was patient while we asked questions about the menu. Unique drinks on their signature bev menu, and tasty looking bites as well. We ordered an iced buko pandan with oat and an iced IPA latte with oat. Drinks came out in glasses since we were hanging out for a bit, and they were killer! Really great flavor profiles in each respective drink that showcased the subtle nutty-sweet flavors in pandan and the complex layers in an IPA. Highly recommend giving these drinks a try! Look forward to visiting again soon to try out more of the menu!

I can honestly say that, aside from the food, he is one of the main reasons we keep coming back! After being seated with different servers on several occasions, my husband and I both agreed that Javier is the best when it comes to customer service. We now always request to be served by him. I've also seen him interact with other customers, and he is incredibly personable and attentive, which makes perfect sense as to why we enjoy coming here so much--aside from the great food, of course! The food is consistently good quality, and the portions are generous. Request avocado? No problem! They give you a generous portion instead of counting out a few pieces like some other restaurants do. I'm also a big fan of their homemade soups, freshly made by "Tía." The only drawback we've experienced was last month. We requested Javier as our server and didn't mind waiting, especially since we were a large party of 12. We waited for over an hour and watched at least two full rounds of customers get seated, including other large parties. Our disappointment wasn't necessarily with the wait; it was more that, despite requesting Javier, we were ultimately served by someone else. Unfortunately, our food came out incorrectly (things happen!), but our waitress never came back to check on us. We had to get our own takeout containers and eventually had to request the check ourselves so we could leave. Again, our issue wasn't the wait--it was the lack of follow-up and customer service once we were seated. We've had such consistently great experiences with Javier that this visit really stood out compared to what we've come to expect from Emma's Pancakes. Overall, we still love this place and will continue coming back. We just hope our future visits are more like the wonderful experiences we've had with Javier!

CUSTOMERS BEWARE Our…read morefamily of 14 recently visited Aunt Emma's Pancakes for what was supposed to be a nice family gathering. Instead, we left deeply hurt and in tears because of the way my 5-year-old son, who is highly autistic and non-communicative, was treated. My son was not disturbing other customers. He was simply walking next to our table because he was watching his shadow. Despite this, the store manager and 3 different waitress confronted me and told me to "handle my son or they will." As a parent, I found that statement extremely threatening, insulting, and completely unacceptable. There was no attempt to understand my son or his disability, and the way this situation was handled left my entire family devastated. I understand that restaurants have rules and expectations, but there is a respectful and compassionate way to address situations involving a child with autism. Threatening a parent and making them feel unwelcome because of their child is not that way. Customers beware. If you are looking for a place where families--including families with children with disabilities--are treated with dignity, compassion, and respect, I strongly encourage you to think twice before visiting Aunt Emma's Pancakes. Not once did I get an apology from any of the waitresses or the manager!

Our guests had the Steak sandwich, pancakes and Garden salad. My husband had the Green Chilaquiles and I had a Chicken Caesar salad. We also had Bloody Mary's, Mechelada, and a mango mimosa. All were good. My husband and I would rather have restaurants raise their prices then try to say they need to charge a "5% fee," on our check. That being said, we still leave a 20% + gratuity when we dine out. We will try Farmer's Table again because we always give places a second chance.
