The Philly cheesesteak omelette was VERY GOOD! Strong Buy recommendation Wife got denver. Also very good as well read more

First time here, and considering the high ratings, I had pretty high expectations. Unfortunately, the experience was a little disappointing. We waited about 10 minutes just to order our drinks, and the service overall was pretty slow. I ordered the pancake combo, and while the food was okay, both the eggs and pancake seemed undercooked. We also weren't really checked on while eating to see if we needed anything, such as extra condiments or refills. After finishing, we waited over 10 minutes for the check, but no one came by, so we eventually had to walk up to the front to pay. Overall, I was disappointed with both the food and the service. I probably wouldn't recommend it based on this experience, but I'm willing to consider that they may have just been overly busy that day. read more

Service was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tables were well kept up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Coffee was not great. Not farmers brother coffee. Very chicano place. Granddaughters food was real good. House potato's are plain. Just potato's. No seasoning or bell peppers. Asks for sautéed onion and mushrooms omelette. The mushroom and onions were perfectly sautéed. The egg was not fluffy because they didn't blend it enough. Because I ordered a vegetable omelette they mixed it with egg whites. But they took it back and did it the way I like it. Good service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was very clean and good music at a perfect level.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Saturday at 10:00 only three customers. This place has potential. Before I left more people came it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Owner was t pick up the chicken. I think it's perfectly fine charging for credit cards cause credit cards charge so much now but if you arrange the price on everyone or charge your credit cards three sausage this is in ours. I'm like $82. You're fine. I gave you. I gave you good food I didn't give my name is Rosa that's much better too much better better OK is your question is your owner? Nice is your owner very nice construct. OK never mind then talk to her. How are you doing? Constructive criticism opinions should be a lot better. The fluff mix. I do my eggs in a blender. Fluffy. See a lot more. It doesn't look like the same . That would be much bigger. Just scoop it but use a blender or just just use a blender and I shot at a restaurant one of them could be dairy if you blend it it'll look like why do you use that plate of coffee? What kind of coffee coffee have you tried farmers farmers farmers why don't you put your potatoes? I don't like just let us know blend you think it's a lot more deception the whole thing with one place they start using smaller plates right now. Prices are really good price and low. I love the eggs $85. They've gone down he was killing. Where is your problem ? Say $626 $600 for the same amount but that wasn't even that crazy that's why farmers here. Did not walk around and talk to customers. They charge like $1.00 for credit cards. Which is perfectly reasonable. Theirs prices are very reasonable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathroom was very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall service, location, music, cleanliness are all great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I do not know about lunch, I was just here for breakfast. Breakfast food I would not come here for. read more

Arriving to the cafe we were greeted from the moment we walked in and got seated fairly quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside where they played some oldies, which was a plus because I loved the music of choice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

My cousin and her boyfriend took me to this spot, and I have to admit -- the food and service were absolutely amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really enjoyed the aesthetic. It's simple but full of character, featuring cholo-style artwork inspired by Blood In, Blood Out, along with actor signatures that give the place a cool, authentic vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were able to sit back, enjoy great company, and have an even better meal. The kids loved the breakfast burrito, waffles, and the classic breakfast plates. I ordered the chorizo omelette, and it did not disappoint -- generous chunks of perfectly cooked chorizo throughout. You can truly taste that everything is made from scratch with fresh ingredients. The country fried steak is incredible as well -- definitely worth trying. There's plenty of parking, including street parking since the restaurant sits on a corner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They offer covered outdoor seating with a gated area and a TV, plus indoor seating if you prefer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will most certainly be returning. Highly recommend! read more

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.

George's Cafe - Banana strawberry pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Covina, California

Food was good and service was great, hopefully I'll return to try other items in the menu.

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. read more

George's Cafe - Chicken & waffle it's sausage and waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Covina, California

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. read more

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. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing atmosphere, super interesting theme all from a local artist.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got here early on a Wednesday and talked with George about the art and his long experience in the food industry. He was kind and showed us around. The food showed up after we were done touring the art inside and outside of the restaurant. It was amazing. I lived in San Diego for a while and moved to Texas. I've missed the breakfast burritos so much, our tacos are no competition unfortunately. His breakfast burrito was amazing. My wife had the Greek omelette and it was delicious. I highly recommend checking them out and supporting their business if you have the opportunity. read more

George's Cafe Stepping into George's Cafe felt like a throwback to the golden era of the late 80s and 90s -- and I loved every second of it. The atmosphere is laid-back with that old-school vibe that hits just right. Came here for breakfast with my son -- he liked it, and I did too. The food was tasty and satisfying, and the customer service was just as great -- friendly, fast, and welcoming. I did a video tour of their mural wall, but here's a peek (swipe to see the full thing). The mural? All airbrushed -- pure art. If you know, you know. The detail, the tribute, the culture -- it's more than just wall decor, it's storytelling. Come for the food, stay for the feels. #GeorgesCafe #BreakfastVibes #AirbrushArt #ThrowbackVibes #LatinoArt #OldSchoolFeels #MuralMagic #IfYouKnowYouKnow #ClassicVibes #HiddenGem read more

George's Cafe serves satisfying, fresh breakfast food. I ordered the Country Fried Steak ($17.50). The order includes potatoes, two eggs (any style), fried steak, and country gravy (on the side). Food came quickly. I arrived on Tuesday (8:30AM); the order took seven minutes. The country fried steak is delicious! It's lightly battered. The crust is subtly sweet, and the thin meat is hot and flavorful. It's not greasy. Rather, the portion is filling. Next, the potatoes are fresh and tasty; it's crispy outside and soft inside. Yum! The country gravy is also comforting and well-seasoned. Unfortunately, the eggs (I selected scrambled) are underwhelming. The scrambled eggs are salty, flat, mushy, and small. Regarding the location, George's Cafe is very clean. It's well ventilated, and the server is friendly and helpful. For example, the server had forgotten that I chose scrambled eggs; however, when asked, he immediately apologized and quickly fixed the order. [George's Cafe Notes] 1. They do not serve water cups; customers must buy a water bottle for water. 2. Bring cash; there's an additional fee (3.25%) for cards. 3. Parking is limited; the lot is small. Overall, George's Cafe is surprisingly tasty and fresh. The Country Fried Steak and its potatoes are memorable and satisfying. Delicious! read more

I highly recommend this little charming café. read more

Last Saturday, I tried George's Cafe for the first time. I ordered the veggie omelette with bacon, and after a couple of bites I noticed there was no cheese on my omelette. I called the restaurant, and the employee who answered apologized and put me on hold to speak with the manager. When she came back, she told me they would replace the entire order at no charge. I thanked her and explained that I wouldn't be able to come back that day. She said that was fine and that I could come in anytime during the week and ask for the manager. I specifically mentioned that I would likely come in on Tuesday, June 2nd. On Tuesday, I called the restaurant regarding the replacement omelette. The person who answered was very unprofessional. He questioned why an entire omelette would be replaced just because it was missing cheese and even started chuckling and laughing. At that point, I said never mind. He then asked who I had spoken with previously, and when I gave him the employee's name, he started laughing again. My husband and I went to the restaurant and asked to speak with the manager. It turned out that the manager/owner was the same person I had spoken with on the phone. He then tried to backtrack, saying he was only laughing because their plates cost around $20 and that he would have offered a 10% to 20% discount, not a replacement. It also seemed like he was about to throw the employee who originally helped us under the bus. Throughout the conversation, he kept speaking over us while we were trying to explain what had happened. My husband eventually had to call him out and ask him to stop interrupting so we could explain the situation. The issue was never the missing cheese or the free omelette. The issue was the customer service and attitude. He was rude, dismissive, and showed no accountability for the situation. At that point, we left the receipt on the counter and walked away. We will not be returning. read more

First and only time I will order from here. I was disappointed that when I came to pick up my food, they were out of one of the ingredients to make my order. Instead of calling me to notify or cancel my order, they waited. Instead of refunding me, they pushed me to order something else. After settling on the hastily put together burrito I asked how much I owed and they told me nothing. Expecting the $20 I paid already for my original order, to be equivalent to a breakfast burrito, with no sides. Not even refunding me the difference. I could tell the staff felt remorse but during this inflation $20 for a burrito is too much. I was so disappointed I don't even want the burrito anymore read more

So this mid morning brunch, my son wanted to do a mom/son breakfast after he worked out. Ok, I said let's go to George's cafe. We walked in, the DJ was there again and I guess they have a speaker inside and outside-in the patio. Loud, not even a comfortable, have a conversation loud. Really loud!! So we waited and waited, finally George came out asked our drink order and said the waitress would be right out. So we waited some more. In the mean time it was chili out, we asked George if he can turn up the heater. Well, propane was out, so he went to get another tank which was cool. Nice and toasty now.. We both ordered cafe de olla which came out hot, but it was very sweet with nothing added but creamer half/half. We ordered and our food came out quickly, I ordered the chilaquiles with no onions. My son a steak and eggs breakfast. No pictures this time, but my son chomped his plate down. I had requested light sauce and crunchy chips. The plates were a good serving, but my chips were soggy so ate the potatoes and a little egg and I was done. We waited and waited more, so I guess they forgot about us. My son went inside to ask for more coffee and a small order of pancakes. The service was slightly off, the food was good, but the music...Ayyy, too tooooo loud! Perhaps if the DJ turns the speakers towards him, he would hear the volume for himself. Will definitely come back on another day, not Sunday!! read more

I've heard so much about this place- my friend and I stopped by to try it out- First impression is always important- Place was empty and it was minutes before lunch time- place itself was clean but seemed to be too much going on- place filled with murals and pictures of actors from the movie Blood in Blood out and 50's music playing. Waitress seemed to be the only one working I overheard her say she was the owners sister. She came by and explained that all their drinks were bottled only- including water- Menu itself was large with a wide variety except not enough Mexican food. It's primarily American food. I ordered chicken fried steak with eggs over easy- when plate was brought to table eggs were clearly overcooked - more like eggs overcooked. Oh and I was told my plate did NOT come with toast I can order it separately. Almost every restaurant I've been to offers toast with chicken fried steak. My friend thought his burrito was "ok" I asked him what he thought of the place and he said it's not at all what he expected. As I was leaving I noticed a sign they will be having a meet and greet with one of the actors from blood in blood out. They are charging $10 Like whaaaat?? Does those $10 include food ? Welp honest opinion.. I doubt we will be back. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while and finally had the chance to visit. Our server was awesome, she asked if I wanted coffee as soon as we sat down and were handed the menus. My son got the Pastrami burger with garden salad. I wanted the short stack pancakes and we shared the chicken tenders and fries. Son liked the Pastrami burger but said it had a little too much mustard. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The chicken tenders looked overcooked but they actually tasted good, crunchy breading with juicy white meat. It's a relaxed casual dining place, wheelchair accessible, with patio seating, adequate parking and clean restrooms. read more
