    Such a great location! Right in between La Mesa and El Cajon. They have a great value menu, which I usually get. I get the everyday value slam with pancakes, egg, and sausage. It's just the right amount of food for me. They have other great options with bigger portions. The servers are always friendly and happy to get you anything you may need. There is plenty of seating for you to bring in big groups, or sit at the bar solo.

    I get the T-bone steak and eggs here a couple times a year. It is amazing. We have big meetings here with friends. It is so fun. The service is always great. And the ambience is quiet and casual.

    If for no other reason, come to meet and be served by Maria. She is a very sweet energizer bunny who took great care of us and has pride in great guest service. The inside is spacious and comfortable. Surprise surprise we enjoyed all our dishes! Mom had the huge salmon salad and devoured it. Dad had stake and with wakey fries - cleaned his plate. If you follow me, that's huge! I had grilled salmon, Mac 'n cheese and broccoli. Considering it was Denny's, I was surprised that I really how'd my meal. Way to go!

    We went in for breakfast after a morning appointment, and had a great breakfast. Service was excellent, from start to finish. We were offered something to drink right away and then had our order taken. We each had an omelette with hash browns, but my partner also had pancakes. I also had some English Muffins. It was a lot of food. It was so much that we brought some home. We're going to have the leftovers for lunch.

    Came here for a free birthday breakfast. The diner has that nostalgic, cozy feel, but the real star was Jose. He was friendly, attentive, and knew the menu inside out. What made it extra special was how he remembered names and made everyone feel welcome. Great food, even better service! Thanks to Jose for making my birthday morning memorable!

    Apparently this restaurant is dog friendly.  An example of a dog sitting on a booth inside the restaurant.

    The hubby and I stopped by for breakfast this morning and we are so glad we did. We've been here…read morebefore but I've never put in a review and Camryn was a standout today! She knows her stuff-knows how to ask the right questions so that you get what you really want. For instance, I was on the fence about having biscuits and gravy but I asked if the gravy was really peppery. She offered to get me a small taste and although it was delicious, I've been a little under the weather so I decided I didn't want anything really heavy. Instead I ordered the 3 egg scramble with their smoked ham and added cheese-it was really good and a huge serving including their potatoes and English muffin. I'll probably be able to make two more meals from this serving! My husband ordered the eggs Benedict and asked which potatoes they would be able to make the most crispy as we both like our potatoes crispy. She suggested the hash browns and even asked if he wanted them crispy on both sides which was a great way to get them the way he wanted. Those kinds of gestures really make the difference when you're dining out. The eggs Benedict and the hash browns were delicious, btw. :) Camryn had a great personality too-very friendly, bright and quick. She did a great job of checking in on all of her tables. When we go back I hope we are lucky enough to have Camryn serve us again but all of the servers seemed very friendly as well. Great job, Izzy's and Camryn!

    Well dang. After consistent letdowns from this place it's time to say something and change my…read morerating. This place used to be top 3 for me in terms of breakfast. I've made this my destination breakfast for birthdays, weekends, friends brunches. This was literally the spot. The last 3 times though.... A bummer. The first letdown... these cooks have a tendency to overload their scrambles with uncooked green onions. While it may be good for others, it's not good for me. So i will CONSISTENTLY ask for light green onions. The first let down... a waitress who has been there for a while.. tried to gaslight me into thinking that if I had asked for light green onions, it'd be "a laughable amount". I asked for it anyways and it came packed with green onions. She ate her words, apologized and discounted our breakfast. The second time, the same waitress... the same interaction... but this time it came with zero green onions. She came back and said "it's either all or nothing haha". That was unnecessary. The third time... asking a completely different waitress.... Completely different interaction. 30min later, the omlette comes out packed with green onions and the waitress ignores us for the duration of our stay. So no breakfast for me lol. I understand I'm the picky eater. But dang. I wanna waste the food and not a literal bunch of green onions from the prep bin. The one thing they seem to be consistent on is goofing up my order, so it's time to move on.

    Lafayette Beginners Diner…read more Spontaneously, decided to visit Lafayette Hotel yesterday. Walked straight towards Beginners Diner outdoor patio which overlooks the pool, it was crowded. Despite the crowds, there were a few seats available to sit and dine. Usually one must check in with the manager inside the diner, but this time the manager happened to be a few steps away and she said I could sit anywhere I wanted...YAY! I had my pup Fendi in tow and we sat down for a while to enjoy the usual cool music and be voyeurs. As with most diners, it would be better if all the selections on the menu is available to order 24/7. Many items are only available to order during particular times. It was a sunny hot San Diego day, which called for an icy mocktail, a Greek salad and small french fries. The yogurt dill sauce enhanced the taste of both the salad and fries... so good. Service from the manager and servers were cordial, attentive and friendly. A bowl of water was offered for my baby and I always appreciate that extra effort. Because of a much improved overall experience and positive vibes, it merits this review and recommend.

    I stopped by around 9:15 PM on a Friday, and the place was packed and full of energy. It was rather…read moreloud, but you could still make conversation. There were only a few stools available at the counter, but I was greeted right away by the hostess and seated immediately. A waiter quickly brought me a glass of water and a menu. I ordered the: * Country Fried Steak (3/5): The breading was nice and crispy, but the steak itself was pretty mediocre. It also didn't come with nearly enough gravy, so I asked another server for extra, and she was kind enough to bring me some. The meal comes with two sides. You can choose from creamed spinach, green beans, sautéed corn, or broccoli along with a carb of mashed potatoes, a baked potato, fries, or onion rings. I chose: * Sautéed Corn: Unfortunately, this had a strange flavor. It really could have used some butter and salt. * Mashed Potatoes: The potatoes themselves were fine, but the gravy wasn't the traditional style you'd expect with mashed potatoes, and I wasn't a fan. One positive was how quickly the food came out; it took less than 10 minutes from ordering to being served. The prices are definitely on the higher end. My country fried steak was $32, and my total came to just over $40 with tip. One thing that stood out was how disorganized the service felt. There was a hostess, around five different servers, and even the manager helping on the floor. I never had one dedicated server throughout my meal. One person took my order, another brought the extra gravy, the manager delivered my food, and someone else cashed me out. Even though it was busy, it's not a very large restaurant, so the service felt unnecessarily chaotic. They could definitely improve the overall customer experience with better organization. Parking can also be difficult, so keep that in mind if you're visiting during peak hours. Overall, it's a cute spot, and I appreciated finding country fried steak since it's not something you see on many menus anymore. Unfortunately, both the food and the service were pretty average. I'm glad I tried it, but I don't think it's a place I'd go out of my way to return to.

Very nostalgic!! Reminded me of a local cafe from my home town. The owner of this restaurant was rude as hell!

He was just rude and I felt bad for his employers who busted their asses. I'd eat there again simply because the food was amazing! But I wouldn't go back because of the owner and how much of a micromanaging prick he is.

It was like coming home! Had to have the California Omelet with home fries and had ham instead of bacon. Seems like they use a whole ham steak cut up. Topped with so much guacamole, that i was able to have guacamole toast (on dry English muffins) and still great salsa! The wife had Eggs Benedict and fruit, still wonderful. The only problem i had was, I couldn't remember Brenda's name, who I known since we started coming here since 2005! How many family owned restaurants have made it through Covid and still operating at waiting room only? Still the recommended breakfast/lunch place in San Diego County!
