First time I came here, it was with my bosses for lunch. I was really puzzled but once we were…read moreinside, I knew the food would be good. It was busy during lunch but we were lucky and snagged a booth. The menu offers classic diner fare - all day breakfast items, burgers, sandwiches, soups, and salads. I ordered the beef dip w/ fries and asked if they had horseradish. They asked me if I wanted the creamy kind or the raw shredded kind. Amazing!!! The beef dip was AMAZING. Au jus was perfect and the horseradish (I opted for the creamy kind) was the cherry on top. I was fortunate enough to try a couple bites of their cinnamon roll and if you like cinnamon rolls, theirs tops Cinnabon! Service is efficient, friendly, and no nonsense. Home Sweet Home Cafe reminds me of the mom & pop cafes in Mammoth; cozy, inviting, and serving great food. Truly a hidden gem in the middle of an industrial area in Escondido!!

Staff are very friendly and helpful in providing explanations and recommendations when ordering. They come to check on you often, even during rushes. The food is pretty typical diner food, doesn't try to do anything unique, but their items are all solid. I recommend the country skillet with country fries (which are just deep fried potato cubes). Definitely order the biscuits and gravy if you like them, it's delicious here. Five stars on the scale of American diners.

I've already left a review for Pegah's. 5 stars all the way. But this is about the review that S…read more Feliks wrote about the place. I was directly across the floor from Feliks and her family. Feliks and her family came in and were seated by the side door, next to the coffee and orange juice machines. Feliks said she was in a hurry and wanted to order at that moment, basically cutting in front of two other customers. First off.... Francine is one of the best servers in the place. Always greets with a smile and if you're a regular, you may be lucky enough for a little playful banter from her. Feliks didn't wait 20 minutes for coffee. She waited about 5 or 6 minutes tops. You asked about eggs. She asked how you'd like them and you never answered her. So, when she asked again, you got crabby and condescendingly said, "Scrambled" then asked for another server. There was nothing calm about your offensive behavior, wanting the entire check to be comped. You were the bully!! In fact, YOUR behavior made MY dining experience not so pleasurable, so, thanks for that. It's rare that Nima, the owner isn't there on a Sunday, but even restaurant owners have lives outside of work. Next time you're in a total hurry, try not going out to eat at a popular eatablishment on a Sunday beforehand. Not only will you be happier, but the gals at Pegah's won't have to put up with your shit.

Have been a frequent customer with my family and also work friends. Absolutely the worst…read moreexperience. First our server was Francin (avoid at all costs). She is not only arrogant but argues with customers. I simply asked her when if my coffee was ready after 20 mins of waiting and she gave so much attitude and argued back. After asking politely for a new server she continued to argue and humiliate me. I also asked her if the kids meal comes with eggs and she became defensive and hyper verbal and argumentative. After telling her we would like another server she still continued to come to the table and told us "the other server doesn't have much experience." We had enough and calmly went to check out and pay at the front and this lady named Lina was terrible and seemed to be Francin's friend as she was full of attitude and told us "manager is on a daycation" when we asked for the manager. We asked for his number and she struggled to give us his number and the lady behind her gave it. It's sad as we love the food here the service was straight up bullying and condescending. Terrible!!! Not worth it! Also when asking for the manager multiple times she pointed to main number with an attitude and rolling her eyes and told us to call since the number is right there as she chuckled. These pple were taking full advantage of the manager not being there and also bullying customers who ask any additional Qs.

I got the 1/2 sandwich roast beef & salad and both really good. I got the fried zuccini as the side and it was the best I've ever had! Even the left over fried zuccini air fried at home was still delicious! My wife got the Lumber Jack breakfast and all the items were good. She really likes their caramel iced coffee too.

The Great: yummy food The Good: menu selection The Bad: the service The Ugly: still the service I've enjoyed the food at mama kat's, but gosh. the few times I've come I've gotten slow service, indifferent service and forgotten about. My last visit we almost walked out after being seated then ignored for over ten minutes. After ordering and getting our drinks, I asked for creamer. The server kept walking by and then acknowledge he forgot.. then he apparently forgot again, but eventually i got the creamer. When we initially got there and got seated, the young man that walked us to our table, walked away when pointing us to our table, I thanked him, but he seemed pretty unhappy. I had to flag him down to ask for more coffee later, which happened very slowly too. I wonder/hope when they move, they gain a new pride of their brand, improving the experience for the customer.

Tucked into the corner of a little strip mall on the east side of Esco I can't imagine how many people have missed or passed it without giving a thought. I've lost track of how many breakfasts we have had at this diner over the years but the one consistent thing is the service is always on point and everything we have tried has been great (except the chicken fried steak which was perfectly average but I am SUPER picky about chicken fried steak). I tend to stick with omelettes but their pancakes and waffles are always delicious and honestly I can never decide if I like the hash browns or home fries more so that is always a last minute decision. It has sucked watching the prices go up but I would be disingenuous if I said I didn't understand that they are dealing with their own suppliers raising prices on them and if they did not raise the prices then they would go out of business. This is my goto breakfast place any time friends and family visit, can't recommend it strongly enough.
