Our favourite breakfast place in San Diego. Our sunny-side-up eggs were perfectly cooked. Service is amazing. Delicious food arrives within minutes; coffee tastes great. We were served by Francine today and loved her polite service with a great smile. Ambience is nice: soothing and with plenty of light with windows all around. We will be back every time we visit San Diego. read more

I'm in town for the weekend. Exploring Escondido & chose Pegah's Kitchen for breakfast. So happy with my choice. Fresh, hot food and friendly service. Very attentive. Good coffee! My weekend plan hadn't gone smoothly yesterday, so finding Pegah's and that local diner feel from the past is such a treat. Down to the little bit of parsley on the plate & the friendly staff, this made my day! read more

Our waitress was very nice and patient.....we just put our breakfast order in....the restaurant is pretty clean with nice indoor seating. We come here to eat, when my daughter and her family comes here to visit...in honor of my who passed away...he used to love to love going to Pegah's. Today, Food wasn't as good as it has been in the past..it was ok. read more

Food portions are great. Taste is great. Service was friendly. The hash browns were saturated in oil and kind of oil logged / tasteless. The walls & lights have a lot of wear, like broken glass lampshades. It's just a local diner vibe. read more

I've been wanting to try Pegah's for so long! I'm so glad that I was finally able to. What a cute place with delicious food and very reasonable prices. Service was friendly and timely. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. The food was delicious! I had the traditional eggs Benedict. It was very good. What I noticed is the ham. It was a nice thick tasty piece of ham, not a little sliver. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Others in my group had the pork chop, chicken fried steak, an omelette and pancakes. We were so happy with our food! Great way to start the day. read more

Food was so tasty and service was great! I see why it's so busy. They serve a lot for what you pay for, I'd definitely come here again. The breakfast quesadilla was so good and I cannot recommend the breakfast potatoes enough read more

Not my favorite, but also not bad. Been here one other time.. so this would be my second time. Decided to give it another shot....Diner type of style restaurant. They have spacious places to sit with a group of people. Went with a party of 8, and was comfortable. But the food just isn't the greatest (in my opinion) got the jalapeño hash.. thinking it would be like a hash in a bowl with two eggs on top .. but it was just hash browns with green peppers pressed on them and two eggs on the side, oh and two sausage patties (& side of toast) I guess I'm used to something else (when it comes to a hash) and it was kinda of pricey... and that's without a coffee or juice. Just plain water. The service was great. But the food just wasn't it. *******The picture I have on here is from 3 years ago... I did not take a picture of my hash yesterday ****** read more

Went on a Sunday at noon expecting it to be busy and it definitely was. Almost all the tables were full so we were ready to wait at least 45 minutes. But we didn't have to. Walking in, we were greeted and seated right away. Francine was our server and she was so friendly and efficient. We ordered the Cinnamon roll combo special and the Pegahs scramble. While we waited (which wasn't very long), the man who greeted us and sat us at our table came and poured our coffees. We noticed that this cute diner managed to maintain a warm, relaxed vibe all while working as a well-oiled machine. Super efficient all around. As busy as it was, the employees didn't miss a beat and didn't look or act hurried or stressed. Customer service was on point. The turnaround was fast. Food came out quick and we thoroughly enjoyed what we ordered. Definitely a good value. So glad we tried this place, we'll be back! read more

We always get coupons for this restaurant in the Clipper Magazine & we decided to give it a try. They have 3 locations in North County. We dined for brunch on NYE & it was busy! Cute diner & retro feel. Dishes came out quick & service was friendly. California Benedict: Amazing! Crispy bacon, crispy side of hash browns, loved it. Hearty portion. This location is in a neighborhood with a few parking spots & street parking. Senior menu available. read more

One of my favorite local breakfast spots. The service is always great, and the food is always delicious. I tried the veggie omelet, and it was fresh and flavorful. The ambiance has a cozy, homey diner vibe. The only thing I would change is the coffee quality. Otherwise, this spot always hits. read more

Great breakfast at a reasonable price, comfortable booths and great friendly service provided by the lovely Francine. We ordered the veggie omelette with wheat toast dry, two eggs over easy with ham, the fruit bowl and both came with hash browns (done extra chrispy - per our request-the chief nailed it !!!) Can't wait to try some of their other item. read more

Came to Pegah's Kitchen with my in laws while it was raining. It is a cute little diner and it feels nostalgic the moment you walk in. The food was good and filling, nothing too special. I ordered the country fried steak and eggs and the steak was a little dry and my sunny side eggs were a bit under. We also got the sausage gravy and biscuits and I should have gone with a half order because it was a lot of food. I also wish they had a bit of butter or something for more flavor. One thing I really liked was the apple jelly for the toast. We only waited about ten minutes to be seated even though it was busy. It was a nice and simple spot for a rainy day. read more

Such a solid diner breakfast experience. I want to especially shout out the solid service we had from Francine. It really made the breakfast that much better the way she took our orders, delivered our food and checked in. Top notch! read more

We just moved to Esco from RB four months ago and I've been really wanting to try this cafe. Today we stopped by randomly and it was fantastic! You can tell a place that's trying too hard and Pegah's was perfect. The staff and cooks seemed happy, the prices were reasonable and the food was really good. We'll be back for sure! read more

Great food, great service, reasonably priced and a clean restaurant overall. Our server was very attentive and genuine. We enjoyed the flavors of every dish particularly the country potatoes that had a hint of "pancit" (Filipino noodles) at the end. This place is highly recommended! read more

My dad and I love checking out little niche stops like Pegah's Kitchen, we've driven by this place for years and regret having only just tried it! Not only were the portion sizes huge, the taste was amazing too. Our server was attentive and checked in on us at an appropriate rate. On top of that, we loved the cozy diner look of the restaurant! Would 100% come back here to try more from the menu! read more

Had such a great breakfast at Pegah's! There aren't enough old school diners like this around. The food was delicious, everything came out quickly, and the service was amazing. Our server Francine was so sweet, attentive, and welcoming and made the whole experience even better. We'll definitely be back! read more

This restaurant has such a cute old school diner feeling. We went on a Saturday morning around 8:30 and it wasn't too crowded, but by the time we were leaving around 9:30 it was completely packed. It has that classic diner feel with both table and booth seating, which I love. The staff was so nice and friendly the whole time. The food was really good too. I got the spicy jalapeño scramble and my husband ordered the meat lovers omelet, and both hit the spot. Our toddler had the kids meal and the portion size was way bigger than we expected, which was a nice surprise. It came with 3 full sized pancakes even though the menu said mini pancakes. read more

This is a great stealth gluten free diner! They have gluten free bread, pancakes and waffles. Only the bread is mentioned on their menu. I don't know why they do this, maybe because they cannot guarantee cross contamination so they don't bother. If you have celiac or strong allergies I can understand not mentioning it, however for the customer where it is a preference or not a strong allergy this place is a good portion of food for a great price. I really like the retro blue seating. They have a kids menu and a seniors menu, and I saw plenty of families there for Sunday brunch which gives it a vibrant ambience. Note the hot chocolate is a premix so not sure is vegan or not. read more

We have gone there for many years and just seeing how over priced their food is now is unbelievable. We won't be going there ever again. It's like everything has gone up at least 5.00 more per dish. 20.00 for a club sandwich is crazy. Sorry to see that it's heading towards losing loyal customers. Below is a picture of where I got the prices. On your yelp site. I wasn't making it up I wouldn't do that. I like your food very much . And I do understand the reason for increases. Just shocked when I saw the advertised picture. read more

This was a cute little mom and pop spot. In a neighborhood very limited parking but there is some street parking. Outside seating available. Service was great from the time I walked in to the time I left. If you love eggs, this place has a lot of them. I chose the French Toast and added fresh strawberries and whip cream and made it a meal minus the eggs and substituted with hash browns and got 2 sausage patties. All really good. The orange juice wasn't freshly squeezed, it came out of the machine we sat next to. The tables were a little small and not a lot of room at the tables. If you need a lot of room outside is perfect for you. Not a bad place to stop for a bite to eat on your way up or down the 15 or 78 freeways. read more

Pegah's is our go-to diner in the area. Service is always fast and friendly. Sierra in particular has been our fav server for going on 3 years now! I typically get their steak and eggs and my husband loves their veggie omelette. Our only request is that they invest in better quality coffee read more

Loved the service and the food. They had a large selection of both breakfast and lunch items. We had the club sandwich on wheat with no mayo with a side of fruit, and the ABC burger (add bleu cheese) with French fries and both were great. The service was friendly and quick. The prices reasonable too. We went on a Saturday and luckily they were able to seat us right away. The food came out quickly and they refilled our hot tea and iced tea. This will be our new breakfast/lunch place before heading to the Safari Park! read more

I've already left a review for Pegah's. 5 stars all the way. But this is about the review that S. 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. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with Pegah's Kitchen! Friendly staff, good prices, great portions, and the wait time was super short! I made a reservation to sit outside in their dog friendly outdoor patio seating. We got our order taken quickly and the food came out fast, nice and hot. The corned beef hash was good. Nice crispy hash browns. Monte Cristo was good too. The biscuit was so dry. Do not get it unless with gravy. read more

Love the Brunch menu and the Service. The waiters all share responsibility to give the guests the best experience. It is a little noisy with not much sound dampening, but leads to a good friendly ambiance. I wish they would offer protein pancakes or waffles and other healthy eating options. I do love their fruit bowls and pecan specials! read more

I would highly recommend the ambience food California Benedict was amazing hight recommend staff .I'm visiting from Irvine California

Have been a frequent customer with my family and also work friends. Absolutely the worst experience. 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. read more

Came here Friday morning and was seated right away. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive! The California Benedict plus hash browns were delicious! The bacon cheese burger had its vegetables and mayonnaise served on the side, which was an appreciated detail! Add an extra star for showing the Padres game and playing oldies but goodies! Solid place for breakfast! read more

Love, love, Love this location! Nice, bright, homey decor. Clean. Very friendly staff. Our server had the sweetest smile and great demeanor. She checked on us a few times.

Plenty of choices on their menu. Will def be a regular breakfast place spot! read more
