I would say it's more of a casual Americana…read morethemed restaurant versus a diner, but still you will get filled with good size portions at a fair price. Inside is really large and there are many different seating options and giant sized tables with many chairs available. They also have an outdoor eating area. Parking is extremely easy. It's located in a shopping center with plenty of free parking. You order at the counter, they give you a number, and then they bring the food to you. It is not a full service restaurant. The menu is not large, but it does have a lot of good options on it. I chose the Chili Cheese Omelette for my breakfast and thought it was really good. It was a decent sized portion and I honestly really liked it. I would recommend if you are in the area.

We ordered a pastrami sandwich, Philly cheesesteak, a kids burger combo, kids chicken tender combo, kids corn dog combo, 2 shakes, an order of fries and order of onion rings. This is how you get to $102 for takeout for 2 adults and 3 kids. Shakes alone were $9 EACH! The prices listed on their own website are outdated. Seriously, if we had known that we would be spending over $100 for takeout we would have skipped this place.

Stopped in for my first time yesterday morning and overall I thought the food was pretty good…read more However, the service could've been a lot better. We arrived as a party of 3 around 10 AM and had to wait about 10 minutes for our table. We put our names on the wait list, but they forgot to come get us when the table was ready so the table sat for a couple of minutes until we went in and asked about it. Inside is extremely small, there are about 12 to 14 tables. There's a small free parking lot in the back otherwise free street parking is pretty easy to find. Our waiter was not the most polite and he brought half of our dishes, which is a huge pet peeve of mine. He forgot the side of bacon, the side of toast and a few other things until we went up and got them. Then we were supposed to get coffee refills, but had to hunt him down for that as well. Which is kind of crazy given how small the restaurant is. I would give this place another try however Beach Break Cafe down the street really blew me away the previous week, so hopefully my next visit here will be a bit of an improvement.

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.

The service is friendly and quick. I love that the servers interact with the customers when they can. They make eye contact and share a smile, that definitely makes it a welcoming place where you want to come back. I decided to order a half order of biscuit and gravy (gravy on the side), my side choice was fruit and I ordered sausage patties on the side. When my ordered arrived I was amazed how large the serving was, and was glad I ordered a half order. I didn't finish it and ended up taking home the leftovers. My order was delicious! The gravy was perfect, not too runny or too dry. The side order of the sausage was cooked just right. I was lucky to find street parking in front of the restaurant. Parking could be an issue especiallly on the weekends but it being the weekday the day we met made it easier to find a parking spot. I look forward to returning to Don's!

Great experience! This place has been on our list for a while, and I'm so glad we finally tried it…read more From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming and fun. Chris greeted us right away and was the most gracious Eagles fan we've ever met -- especially considering the 49ers had just beaten them last week and we were wearing our Niners gear. He had nothing but nice things to say, and coming from a 49ers fan... that's saying a lot. It truly set the tone for the visit. Our server, Arianna, was fantastic -- polite, friendly, easy-going, and so chill. She made everything feel effortless and relaxed, which is exactly the energy you want at brunch. Highly recommend the Avocado Eggs Benedict -- the eggs were cooked absolutely perfectly. We really enjoyed the entire experience, and bonus points because the bathroom is adorable -- such a fun detail that shows how much care goes into the place. We'll definitely be back!

For the five of us, the total came to $109, which is outstanding considering we ordered six entrees. Prices are great for what you get. Service was nice too. Can't be it.

Man, such a disappointment. Health code violations at the end…read more FOOD - meh. Maybe a 3 star at best for food quality and taste. The harbor burrito was fine but nothing special. Berry Crunch French Toast, same thing. Our friends ate the Stratford Scramble and it was just 3/5 as well. PRICE - considering the food is nothing special, I wondered why we are paying a higher price for it. Definitely overpriced unless you really care about eating at the harbor, looking at the water through some dirty glass. SERVICE - their current set up is to take your order, take your money, and give you a number. That would fine and dandy except that the girl who was taking orders ALSO had to play bartender. The line seems to be so long and take forever because she'll take your order, then spend 5 minutes making drinks or doing something else before taking the next person's order. Maybe this is their way to handle the traffic because tables are full and maybe they are down staff members. Either way, I was disappointed at the speed/organization. HEALTH CODE VIOLATION - the cherry on top to all of this happened since I had so much time in line to observe. The girl taking orders would take an order, process payment by touching the POS system, then scoop ice into a glass for the drink she was making (this time was a Bloody Mary), handle bottles of alcohol, and FINALLY, touch the bacon and garnishes for the Bloody Mary all without washing her hands. No doubt there have been many hands that have touched all of those things and contaminated them, all for her to touch food at the end without washing her hands. The POS system is also about 10 feet away from the bathroom so all of this adds up to something that seems risky and needs to be fixed.
