    Chilaquiles that were so tasty and crisp
    Alex J.

    This place is a little hole in the wall, yet surprisingly delicious. The ambience is awesome with a bunch of paintings our waiter was very attentive. The food was amazing! My family liked every dish that we ordered. We will definitely go again - like I said it looks small and unassuming but it's a gem in West Covina!

    Arriving to the cafe we were greeted from the moment we walked in and got seated fairly quickly. We sat outside where they played some oldies, which was a plus because I loved the music of choice. The food was pretty good, the potatoes could use more flavor but overall the food was tasteful. The only complaint I have would be the 3.5% charge to use a card, so definitely will bring cash next time and no refills of drinks. They served bottle of waters and cans of sodas. Idk if that's a regular thing or if they don't have a soda machine, but that would be my only complaint from this place. Will come back again to try different foods on the menu.

    My daughter and I found this place looking for breakfast. Definitely different didn't expect a themed cafe but it was cool. Especially if you're into this sort of genre. Lots of movie vibes great murals though out the restaurant We were greeted right away by a gentleman and sat inside wasn't to busy Gave us the menu we ordered our drinks Looked over everything and decided what we would have I got the vegetables omelette added avocado portion was a good size and my daughter got the chilaquiles burrito it was on the smaller side, Food was good service was good was a bit expensive but I would recommend this place for breakfast.

    Welcome to GEORGE's CAFÉ.

    George's Cafe is a local hotspot eatery that offer foodies traditional meals (breakfast/brunch) in a cozy and welcoming dining experience. It's located on a tiny plaza at 522 E Vine Ave in West Covina. Customers have an option of seating in their rear outdoor patio with street view as well as indoor. Throughout the cafe's interior decor you'll see some iconic cultural figures and the beautiful Virgen de Guadalupe. Their menu has a wide variety of breakfast (American & Mexican) items. I came early morning and ordered a Cafe de Olla and a Veggie Omelette. Both were just okay-typical coffee and breakfast. Service was mildly slow because they only have 1 male server working in that morning. And customer started to pour in at 08:45 am. I can see he's struggling taking orders. I almost wanted to assist the male server and start taking customers' orders and inquiries. lol. Atmosphere was good. Prices were fair that reflects the quality and quantity of the food or drinks offered. Staff were competent and affable. Overall, this cafe is modest that offers a Mexican home cooked meal. I think there are area in their business that can be improved.

    George's Cafe in West Covina deserves every bit of five stars! The inside has such a throwback to 80-90s homie style, welcoming vibe, but it's also really beautiful and cozy at the same time. I ordered the waffle country fried steak and it was incredibly soft, tender, and comforting--perfectly cooked and easy to eat. The potatoes were exactly how breakfast potatoes should be: crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The French toast was also amazing--golden, flavorful, and perfectly indulgent. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to! The service was great super friendly.

    Came with my boyfriend and it was our first time at George's Cafe. The entire meal and coffee were delicious! Our server was very friendly and attentive with us. She allowed us to stay a little longer because of the World Cup Game. (Big Thank You!!) An experience I won't forget, my compliments to the chef as well!!! The ambiance and culture were also a pleasant touch. Will be back soon!! Thank you!!!

    Found Georges cafe while on my morning dog walk. I was greeted by the server and she took me out to the patio to find a table. Many good selections on the menu for breakfast and i opted for the weekday special of sausage breakfast tacos. It comes with 3 scrambled egg and sausage tacos and a side of green chili salsa for 10.95 . It was just the right size and tasted great! I also ordered a coffee, but unfortunately it was luke warm, even when she topped it off. Service was fantastic! I got my tacos within 5 minutes of order.The walls are airbrushed with colorful Latino culture artwork. I'll come back to try more of the menu.

    Breakfast with my brother and sister in Christ

    My family and I had breakfast here for our first time with my mentor it was a lovely and whole experience-- the waitress was so honest and kind with the recommendations. The food was dank; I ordered the menudo and Benedict. I appreciate the environment and the hospitality! It's worth the try and wait! Thank you, we will be back here

    Chicken & waffle  it's sausage and waffle

    Wrong advertisement. I've order chicken and waffle and got sausage and waffle. Seriously?? This is not right. I didn't even like the taste because I was expecting chicken.

I started with an incredible appetizer featuring several varieties of fried mushrooms paired with red wine--absolutely delicious and full of flavor. For my entrée, I enjoyed the shrimp pasta with white wine sauce, which was perfectly prepared and tasted authentic and fresh. To finish the meal, I had the apple crust dessert topped with vanilla ice cream, and it was the perfect ending to an outstanding dinner. The food, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional. Honestly, for a moment I felt like I was sitting in a restaurant in Italy. I highly recommend Pane E Vino and will definitely be returning. Five stars all the way!

Older gentlemen (not sure if he is the owner/manager) came out and was very cold, curt, borderline rude telling us the kitchen was closed and to leave. How were we to know at the time they were closing the kitchen? No signs were posted outside. We only came in because his pal waived us in. An honest mistake on our part. I feel after being a regular patron we did not deserve such impudent behavior, no normal abiding patron does.

    This month Eddie's is offically celebrating their 41st birthday…read more Congratulations!!! Almost 20 years of my enjoying Spaghetti Eddie's great food & service. I have told many people about my personal experiences here and everyone that has visited the restaurant from my suggestions were impressed with the food and excellent service. I am temporarily living out of the area, but always make Eddie's one of my first restaurant visits when I return home. My favorite food is true Italian recipe based and Eddie's uses some of the finest ingredients and seasonings I've sampled. From main courses to salads and desserts, everything is delicious and obviously prepared from scratch. Visit the restaurants website and sign up for their monthly specials. These limited edition offerings are available all month long and everyone a stand-out in my opinion. Lunch specials are a real value and the quality is never compromised. Many of the staff have been with Eddie's for ten or more years and really enjoy their jobs and wouldn't want to work anywhere else. I read a review of Eddie's made recently by a patron and needed to update my review of Eddie's made several years ago. This restaurant would not be as successful as it has been for so many years without taking good care of their guests. My experience with servers has shown that they will do anything in their power to make your visit a happy one with great food and service to match. Mike, one of the managers that I have become acquainted with over the years would not let anyone leave without their being fully satisfied with their dining experience. This restaurant truly wants to have repeat customers that look forward to each and every visit. About a 15 minute drive east of Eddie's in Glendora are two sister restaurants in the community of Claremont that Eddie has also created very successfully thanks to the expertise of Eddie demanding quality food and service for each and every guest. You can't grow to this level without giving your guest what they expect from a superior dining experience. Eddie's Italian Eatery on West Foothill in Claremont has a menu similar to the Glendora location. This location is only a bit over 20 years old, somewhat new compared to Glendora. The upscale masterpiece of Eddie's is "Tutti Mangia-Italian Chophouse" located on Harvard Ave. in historic downtown Claremont. Fine dining at its best with an elegant setting and food to match. A special treat for anyone wanting the most special evening of elegant dining. It's worth the drive to experience the menu and decor. This location has experienced 30 years of success and is a very popular restaurant in the college town of Claremont. When you visit any of the three restaurants that Eddie operates you will be well treated and served some of the most authentic Italian food available anywhere. I never hesitate to make a 15 mile drive to a restaurant that truly has exceptional food and service.

    After recently reading an extremely negative review made appx 2 weeks ago about Spaghetti Eddie's,…read moreI felt compelled to share my own experience--especially as someone who has lived in this area for 50 years and has watched our community change tremendously over the decades. I remember when the Mayflower Shopping Center was thriving and nearly every storefront was occupied. Unfortunately, many businesses have come and gone over the years. But Spaghetti Eddie's is still here--41 YEARS later! That alone says something. You don't remain in business for more than four decades without doing something right. They have weathered years of change, economic challenges, and even the incredibly difficult COVID era. During that time, they adapted their operations so they could continue serving the community that has supported them for so many years. Yes, the shopping center may not look like it did years ago, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of this restaurant. In fact, on any given night, you may still have trouble finding a close parking spot because Spaghetti Eddie's is packed! When it comes to something as serious as a food allergy, however, I strongly believe we all have a responsibility to advocate for our own safety as well. If you have a severe allergy, it is always wise to double-check your order before leaving the restaurant. Placing the entire burden on a young employee--who may even be working their very first job--without acknowledging our own responsibility seems unfair. No restaurant is perfect, and mistakes can happen anywhere. But I believe a business should be judged by the overall experience it consistently provides--not defined by one incident or one extremely negative review. My family and I have always felt welcomed here. The entire staff works hard, and we have received wonderful service over the years. And I have to give a special shoutout to Manny! He is absolutely amazing at his job and someone I highly recommend. He recently suggested the mushroom soup with truffle oil--something I probably never would have ordered because I tend to stick with my favorites. I am SO glad I listened to him. It was incredible! And here's a tip: dip the bread in the soup. You can thank me later! Then there's the calamari. I order calamari almost everywhere I go, and Spaghetti Eddie's lightly cooked calamari remains one of my absolute favorites. So, before allowing someone else's negative review to make your decision for you, go experience Spaghetti Eddie's yourself and form your own opinion. Think about what 41 years in business really represents: thousands of customers, family dinners, birthdays, celebrations, first dates, longtime regulars, hardworking employees, and countless memories created around their tables. As someone who has called this community home for 50 years, I appreciate the businesses that have stood the test of time--and Spaghetti Eddie's certainly has. 41 years strong, and there's a reason for it. Give them a try. Order the mushroom soup with truffle oil, get the calamari, and enjoy your evening. Spaghetti Eddie's continues to have my support!

    We were very happy with our first visit to Aldolino Italian Restaurant…read more It's in a very unassuming mini mall, but once you step in, the dining room is very nicely organized, particularly for a small place. I like the dividers that give you a bit of privacy and cut down on conversational noise from other tables. The first thing we notice and LOVED was the old school mellow Italian standards they were playing. Yes! Very relaxing and set the mood. We would have sat in the bar, but there was a large group scheduled in there, so we sat in the dining room. Next time we'll try the bar room. The things that stood out were their delicious, rich sauces. The flavors were spot on. They cook their pasta perfect to my family's taste, with a bite (al dente), but done enough that it's not chewy or floury. Fair prices. And yummy desserts. We really enjoyed the tasty Crab Cake app. We all liked our pasta, particularly me, who had the Mushroom Ravioli with the same sauce that comes on the Beef and Mushroom Ravioli. I think there was a Mushroom Ravioli special with a different sauce, but they did it with the sauce I really wanted to try, which was much appreciated! We enjoyed the Spumoni pie--Spumoni ice cream with a graham cracker(?) pie crust. They also made us a traditional Affogato, because that's what my dad likes. But I want to try their version next time. I'm really excited to go back and try their pizza. We'll get one with sausage, since the sausage on my dad's pasta was really outstanding. I also want to try their Caesar Salad. Looking forward to my next visit!

The pasta was delicious five out of five very rich and Hardy creamy sauce and a hint of Lobster flavor. Shrimps were cooked perfectly. The garlic rolls, however, had no garlic flavor. Maybe they dusted it with garlic powder. And they were a little bit burnt and randomly sized as somewhere tiny and somewhere large. The minestrone soup was OK, but I normally don't like soup so I would personally pass on it.

It's always my go-to, and I keep coming back just for it. That being said, I have to be honest about the pasta. Every time I've tried it, it's been pretty bland and didn't have much flavor. I wish it had a little more seasoning because it has potential. Overall, the chicken Caesar sandwich is absolutely to die for, and I definitely recommend giving it a try!

    Went here for lunch because a friend really wanted to try it, so I treated…read more The first impression wasn't great. The place looked run-down, the TVs weren't even set up, and there was a trash can sitting outside in the middle of the dining area. The person who greeted us was friendly, but other than that, nobody else was there. We ordered two chicken fettuccine Alfredo dishes, and one had broccoli added. For the broccoli upcharge, I got four pieces. That's definitely not worth paying extra for. We didn't order drinks, appetizers, or sides. The fettuccine itself was just okay--it lacked flavor. The "garlic bread" was the biggest surprise: two Hawaiian rolls with garlic butter. Seriously... what is that? Each pasta was listed at $17.95, yet my total came to $48, and the math just wasn't adding up. I wasn't given an itemized receipt, which made it even more frustrating. After noticing my reaction, they brought us a salad with lettuce that looked brown and a small side of pasta. I'm guessing it was their way of making up for it, but that doesn't justify charging me without being transparent. To make matters worse, the bathroom was dirty, which is always a major red flag. My friend really wanted to try the restaurant, so I just let it go and paid. Looking back, I shouldn't have. Moral of the story: If your gut tells you something feels off, trust it and walk away. Don't stay just to be polite--it's your hard-earned money. This experience taught me that from now on, if something doesn't feel right, I won't hesitate to leave, no matter who I'm with or where I am. Transparency is everything to me. If you're not honest with your customers or you overcharge people, you've already earned 1 star in my book. I can GUARANTEE this is my first and last time her, I'm surprised I didn't get food poisoning.
