I love this place! Their food is amazing and the staff is super friendly. I highly recommend the Belgium waffle or an omelette or anything on the menu, because it is that good. Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area. read more

Restaurant in my hometown-Great service, great comfort food and the owner was giving every customer a dozen eggs with take out order on the night I picked up food! Such a nice surprise..... we love this place! read more

I just moved into town and my daughter came out to visit me. Stopped by to have lunch. I had huge Greek salad...enough for 2 and my daughter had the turkey club. We enjoyed our lunch out in the patio. Michelle was our waitress and she's amazing. Friendly, personable, and superb customer service. customer satisfaction! Highly recommend Fallbrook Cafe read more

I love this cafe and I eat here very frequently. However, on my visit on 9/11/19, one of the waitresses asked to see my tattoos, and then told me in her day it wasn't proper and called one of my tattoos "different and interesting" while nervously laughing. Awesome waffles and I love the just eggs with wheat toast and fresh fruit, but that alone can't compensate for the weird awkward costumer service. Katie is an awesome waitress though and is the only waitress that hasn't given me weird service. read more

Fallbrook Cafe - Waffle sundae with pecans - Cafes Near Me - Fallbrook, California

I always have their Chicken Pot Pie. They are known for that. But last night I had their TROUT. It was absolutely delicious! It was the fattest trout I have ever had and you are given both sides. I ended up bringing the other half home and it was just as good reheated the next night. The house salad is always cold and crisp. ( I crush Salteens over it ) The vegs. are always freshly steamed. I would ask for a baked potato ( not mashed tho' ). Finish it off with a cup of tapioca, like mom used to make! AWWWWWW ENJOY FOR SURE! read more

this is a home town place. service is fantastic food is delicious. I have gone 3 times and tried differnt things and never displeased. they are doing the beat dureing covid times. i highly recommend price and food is a value. enjoy read more

So good, specially the potatoes O'Brien. Don't know what they put in them, but makes breakfast even better.

Such a sweet, old fashioned spot with that great home cooked feeling. The soups and veggie burger were perfect! We plan to visit regularly!

We just had the best meal ever at Fallbrook Cafe. We are regular customers, but my parents wanted to try them out, so we headed over for an early dinner. 3 of us ordered chicken fried steak dinners and 1 liver and onions. When served, we immediately noticed a couple of changes: The "steaks" had much less batter (too much before) and a fair serving of meat, and it was cooked to perfection. The previously steamed vegetables (Broccoli, cauliflower...yuck) have been replaced with butter fried zucchini and carrots, with fantastic flavor and delicious garlic. Liver isn't my thing, but Mom said her meal was delicious as well. read more

Awesome breakfast , luv the old diner vibe. My go to breakfast spot. Strawberry waffle is amazing .

Another great cafe in town not to be missed. Great diner food and service. And they are open for dinner too! Lots of specials and hometown atmosphere. read more

I should have known when I mentioned my severe gluten allergy to the waitress and she said, "We don't have anything without gluten," and shrugged, that I'd end up sick. I told her that eggs and potatoes are typically gluten free (she told me the corned beef comes from a can and the hash browns come in a package) and she didn't even respond. I ordered an omelet and potatoes O'Brien. Big Mistake! I was sick about twenty minutes later. This definitely NOT a place that cares about the customer. I get super sick if I have gluten and usually a place will wipe down their grill and cooking utensils and take time to help me but not here. The waitress clearly did not care and was not the slightest bit kind or gave any effort to help me. If you have a food allergy of any kind, steer clear of this place! read more

It was our first time there. Came on a Saturday around 4pm for an early dinner. We had the prime rib dinners and they were soooo delicious! The ladies were so friendly and kind! We wrapped it up with the waffle ice cream dessert to share! Yummy! read more

Do yourself a favor and don't come here. They will make you wait forever to get seated and then to get your food. The food is not even worth it and they burnt my hash browns so bad they weren't even edible. Their food is not even that good to begin with, I make better breakfast at home. The only pro is that it's cheap. In my opinion main street cafe is way better and I suggest going there if you actually want a good and edible breakfast. read more

The customer service is horrible, don't order food when Gomez is cooking, he served me a pot pie and the dough was still raw. If this is your top cook, I'll never return read more

I hadn't been here in a few years, I remember not being to impressed with the food. We were looking for somewhere to have late breakfast. I knew there would be a wait no matter where we went. Everywhere we it was about a 30 min wait. We were tired of looking and decided on Fallbrook cafe. There were so many people waiting so we assumed about 20-30 min wait. To my surprise we waited 10 min. I don't know if it changed ownership or what the charge was but food was amazing, service was quick. We will be going back more frequently read more

My boyfriend and I visited here for breakfast the other morning. He got the cinnamon roll French toast and I got chocolate chip pancakes and the potatoes O'Brien. Everything was delicious. I believe this is the best place to go for breakfast in the area. The staff was so nice. I would go back here everyday! read more

I love this place! It's like going back to Mayberry. We usually go for breakfast, which is big, tasty and comes out quickly. They have daily specials, like chicken pot pies, that are made in-house. And friendly prices. It's like going to grandma's house, good food and comfy surroundings. read more

Super friendly staff, quick service and yummy waffles with fresh fruit. I will go back!

Fabulous! Generous portions and good food. Very organized and excellent recipes. If you are looking for a home town cafe...this is it! read more

This was my first and only time eating here. The food is severely overpriced for subpar diner food. The turkey was good, actual turkey instead of lunch meat but it had Kraft cheese on it and the fries were just bland cold fries. Won't be eating here again. read more

This place is AWESOME! The service, food and ambiance is great! I've had take out and sit down here. Every experience is a pleasure! The consistency is worth 5 stars!! read more

Quaint little cafe in town with awesome service and amazing breakfast. Perfect place after a long day of wine tasting and gambling. Highly recommend. read more

Great food. There was 3 in our party. Had waffles, pancakes, & french toast. All with eggs, bacon ,& sausage. All meals were big portions, side items all cooked well and all food tasted great. Great service. Very friendly staff. A hidden gem of a place! read more

We come here from time to time and love this family owned business! Food is great and they have some great specials. Kids eat free after 2pm. That's great for us. My favorite is the Fallbrook Cafe sandwich! Also have great salads. Thanks Mom for getting my thousand island dressing back. Great family! We miss the girls but they are doing good on their new ventures. read more

Found this place on Yelp. Great spot for breakfast. Awesome old school cafe with great breakfast menu. Very friendly staff.

Hard pass! Only 2 stars for fast service and nice staff. The food here is below mediocre. I ordered half turkey sandwich and side salad. My sandwich consisted of just turkey and lettuce while my salad was a serving of lettuce and nothing else. All their muffins, pastries and pies are from Costco. Zero points for any home town diner cooking. No thanks! read more

DISCLAIMER I was raised in Fallbrook but have now lived in San Diego for 10+ years Fallbrook Cafe was not around when I lived in Fallbrook, and I decided to try this place out knowing I was out of touch with the vibe of certain places. FOOD A solid 3.5. They make good tasting food out of pretty ordinary ingredients. COFFEE I've recently switched to decaf coffee, and their coffee was AMAZING! Coffee definitely deserves a full 5 stars. I attribute it to the coffee grinder they have on the premises, you will definitely not get a stale cup of coffee here. ATMOSPHERE I am giving this place a 2.5 because the vibe in here was very typical of what some Fallbrook folks are - xenophobic. The waitress (owner?) looked at our table like we we had two heads. I hate to assume it was because we were the only nonwhite folks in the restaurant, but I have a difficult time thinking of what set us apart from the rest of the diners that morning. Since I have been out of Fallbrook for so long I forget how backwards some people in town are, and I will not judge Fallbrook as a whole...but I would definitely not go back to this place because of the experience I had. The waitress looked at us like we wouldn't have enough money to pay our bill, come on! Get it together Fallbrook Cafe! read more

Nothing to complain about. Went at 9am on a Saturday, seated immediately, friendly service, good recommendations and knowledge of the menu by waitress, quick to order, food was ready within 10 minutes and delicious. Had cinnamon roll French toast and it was fantastic! I don't see how I can get anything else now that I've tried it. I would definitely go back here next time I'm in fallbrook. read more

I have eaten here 3 times for dinner. Food quality is good. Preperation and presentation are poor. Flavor is either bland or your food is covered in sauce to give it flavor. Service was very poor and attitude of server was poor. Price isn't all that great either. read more

It's cute you can tell it's a place were locals eat I have lived in fallbrook for 3 years and finally had the time to try it and I can say it's not a place you should go to for dinner I hate the meat loft meal it was smothered in gravy yes I know some meatloaf has gravy topping but I asked for no gravy on my mash why would I want it on my meatloaf but mine wasn't the only plate that wasn't all that grate either I ordered my toddler the meat ball n spaghetti kid size boy it was a big plate and the noodles looked like they have been in the water way to long totally blown up big big noodles but my dinner was really disappointing I pictured a nice thick juicy meatloaf with a good tangy sweet ketchup topping but I got flat dried smothered in thick gravy I'm Still burping it up so don't go there for dinner but the sever was vary nice read more

I've been there a handful of times. Each time I'm amazed this place is still in business. I guess since it's been around forever, it has the town's support. However... The food is OK tasting. Not amazing. Not the worst. We got salads with our lunch today and the lettuce was already brown and wilted. The bun on my burger was soggy immediately and the fries were soggy and cooled off by the time we received our places. We are not the kind of people who send things back, but I was really tempted to and my wife didn't even touch her salad. The prices seem too high for what you get. I think breakfast was a better value. Lunch was definitely overpriced. In any case, you shouldn't be paying these prices for sub-par food. The service is slow and rarely do any of the employees have a smile on their face. Today's waitress was nice enough...but in the past we've had the grumpiest waitresses. 90% of the employees look angry. Each time we go I tell my wife that we shouldn't come back...then we forget or family wants to go and we're disappointed. Hopefully by writing this review we will be reminded next time that this place is simply not worth it. The only reason to go here over say the Z cafe is that they do have waffles for breakfast. That's about it. read more

A bit pricey. $11 omelettes. $6.25 kids meals. $1 if you share a plate. Very casual atmosphere (typical cafe). Fruit was cantaloupe and melon. Considering the prices, I wasn't super impressed. Probably wouldn't come back. read more

Passing thru Fallbrook and found this little gem. Great breakfast food, delicious coffee fast service and all the waitresses were nice and friendly. read more

Since I moved to Fallbrook two and a half years ago I have been eating at the Fallbrook Café. Up today I had no problem with them. I have on several times have borrowed the plastic cups with my ice tea and notified the waitress that I was taking it with me and would return it. Every time I have borrowed one, I cleaned it when I got home and brought it back and put it on the table the next time I came to eat. Today 2/4/2014 was no different I again ate there and asked the waitress to refill the glass and I would again return it. Except for the other waitress, a young and attractive woman in her mid-twenties whom I prefer not to have wait on me because of her snotty attitude, kinda of like she is put off by the whole experience guess being a waitress is above her. Well she comes out to my truck and berated me for quote "steeling her glass ware." I tried to explain that I have borrowed them in the past and because of the problems I have with my hands. I have Dupuytens Contracture it is a crappy little problem with the tendons in my hands. Many times when I grip an item I either have one or two fingers clamp down so hard it destroys it, such as the thin paper or plastic togo cups or my hand flexes open and I drop the cup. Either way I end up with my drink in my lap or all over my truck. The use of a solid cup helps to eliminate this problem. And the surface is hard enough my finger don't pop through. Anyways had this young waitress had the courtesy of hearing me out instead of calling me a phucking asshole and an F'n this and an F'ing that, and that she did not need my F'ing business -well it would have when better in both directions. I hope if this young lady is an employee she is set straight, if she is a part owner or family, then I hope her the best of luck, she will definitely need it, because her business skills SUCK read more

I LOVE FALLBROOK. This cafe' is quisitential Fallbrook. Getcha goin' for a "Mr. Ed" day.

See all

Service was amazing! We were seated fast and our drinks immediately served. Our full meals included chicken fried steak and eggs with hash browns, and a biscuit and gravy. My baby had enough food to eat with me! The staff was super friendly. It's the cutest old school diner! I will definitely be back in the future. read more

The strawberry Belgian waffle is my favorite. I've gotten hash browns and they were pretty good. I stay clear of the eggs. I'm not sure what they put in it, but it's disgusting. One smell and one lick, my stomach started turning. Aside from that, my husband loves the burgers and fries. It can be a little pricey. read more

Really tasty home cooking in an old diner style cafe. Great service & plenty of parking too. Try the homemade chilli....quite exceptional!
