Came here for brunch on a Saturday and I was very happy with my experience. There isn't much parking around the restaurant, but you can find street parking. The inside of this place is quite large, and on a busy day, we only had to wait 5 minutes before we were seated. The service was very prompt and occasionally checked up on our table. I ordered the corned beef hash and it was absolutely delicious. I wanted a slice of pie but was absolutely stuffed from the generous portions. Will be coming back here again. read more

Everything was meh. Really nothing special. Hash browns taste like mash potatoes on the inside with a greasy crisp on the outside. Everything else decent, but anything to go out of your way for. read more

Had brunch with some friends at Pegah's Kitchen in Escondido which was good, and I think good value! 8/10? I didn't really like the French toast but that's because I think my French toast at home is better and more moist the eggs Benedict, chorizo burrito, and burger were all tasty and filling. read more

Pegah's is still my favorite breakfast place! It's nice and bright with many windows. The staff are always nice and accommodating. The food comes out fast and always tastes good! I can eat healthy breakfast here. Recently I have been making a meal from the side dishes like oatmeal (tastes good like slow cooked) and scrambled eggs. You can request egg whites. This time I had an egg white vegetable omelette, which was delicious and healthy, with a side of fruits and wheat toast. So, it is possible to eat healthy breakfast here. We enjoy coming here every time! Thank you for not turning us down when we were there late. We love Pegah's! read more

I grew up eating to same building (WSC) rip. Then Pegahs moved in and I had the best biscuits n gravy. Brought me back to my fat kid child hood, Like in Ratatouille. Always have the friendliest waitress's that deliver excellent service. The ambiance brings me back to my childhood of hearing the convos, to the dishes being cleared, and the smell of the food and coffee. It's like a scene in a movie no matter what time, and I'm the fat kid extra eating cinnamon roll French toast read more

Food was good, not great. Service was top notch and the staff were all very, very friendly. Prices seemed a little high but probably pretty fair for breakfast these days read more

Great customer service. The waitress we had was very attentive and patient. This place is cute small and good service. Food came out fast and was decent for a diner. They definitely had a lot to chose from so that was a plus. If you're looking for a fast and quick meal this the place to come. read more

Pegah's Kitchen - My wife's breakfast plate - American Near Me - Escondido, California

Came in here yesterday (07/16/2025) around 6:30am. The only lady that was there made us feel unwelcomed. She sat us and after not even a min she told us if we were ready. We said no. After less then 5 min she comes back again and said if we are ready. We are obviously still looking at the menu. I don't know what was her rush. After finally bringing out our food. She came and offer coffee only once. She didn't even ask how was everything. Then she came back again and check if we needed anything and gave us the bill and asked if I wanted a box after I was still eating my food. That was very rude of her to say. After still trying to finish my food. I haven't had a refill on my coffee just my partner. So I saw her pouring the table across us and didn't even to stop by us. So I flagged her down and told her I needed coffee. All this time with us she was very unfriendly and we felt rush all the time. When I saw she had 2 different tables of regulars. (Because they had no menus and order). She was very smiley and giving them a great service. This was our third time coming to this place and never encounter that lady. All employees should be nice and welcoming to all customers read more

Cozy environment, great food, great service and management. Delicious, my new favorite place! Francine is not only a beautiful lady, she is a top notch waitress. Highly recommend read more

We loved Pegah's kitchen! I came here around 11AM on a Saturday to meet a friend for brunch. There was no wait and we were seated immediately. I ordered the eggs Benedict with a side of hash browns and my friend ordered the corn beef hash. Portions are generous and such an excellent value for the price. Most breakfast places are so expensive these days, but I found Pegahs to be very reasonable. There's a ton of options on their menu so I'm sure you'll find something you will like. The servers here are so sweet and did not rush us. We slowly worked on our meals and didn't feel like they were trying to clean our table too quickly. This feels like a small family owned business and I loved how welcoming the place is. There is limited parking in this lot so you may need to find street parking. read more

First time coming here for a reunion brunch with friends. Friday morning wasn't too busy for our party of 7, and we were looking for a casual diner like feel. We were seated fairly quickly, and the patience the staff showed us as 2 of our friends showed up late by accidentally going to the wrong location. Once they arrived and orders were placed, food was also fairly quick to come out. The serving staff kept coffees topped off. Portions were massive, prices fair, and food was delicious. read more

We returned here for a late morning breakfast after not visiting for many years. Not much has changed, physically. Comfortable booths, clean and current, adequate parking in their front lot or on the street, a large number of windows, giving it a bright feel. The thing I most want to report that when one considers the variety of choices, the size of the portions, and the quality of the food, this place is as good as it gets. We had so much to choose from but opted for the traditional Benedict with a side of bacon and some biscuits and gravy with a side of hash browns. It was way more than we needed, probably could have picked from the seniors menu and saved a few nickels, but then we wouldn't have had plenty to take home for the next day's morning feed. The server could not have been friendlier nor more attentive and the price for what turned out to be four meals was under $40. We have traditional weekly lunch date to celebrate our long marriage and we will likely give them another visit after noon soon. read more

We visited Pegah's for a belated Fathers Day Breakfast. There were five of us and a baby. We waited a few minutes and were seated quickly. Checking in garnered us a 10% discount, thanks Yelp!! We ordered coffee and waters while we absorbed the big breakfast menu. Francine was our server and she was great. Took our orders and kept everything straight. Coffee refills on point too. My California Eggs Benedict were perfect. Nice light hollandaise and tasty fresh avocados. Light poached eggs and crispy English muffins. So good. Everyone's food was tasty! We will definitely be back. read more

Pegah's Kitchen - Bomb! - American Near Me - Escondido, California

Great food as always. But I wanted to leave this review for Sierra specifically. My 8 year old daughter loves hard boiled eggs for breakfast (kids, right?). We were told if someone wanted those that their hard boiled eggs would come cold. My daughter said fine. Once she brought our food, she said she had had them warmed up for her. Just a little things like that, going the extra mile is very appreciated. The waitresses here are usually on point to begin with but that was a small gesture that stood out. Thanks Sierra! read more

I drive by Pegah's frequently and have never stopped for breakfast or lunch.....until this morning. Over time I have heard lots of good comments and decided to have breakfast here to see what all the good hub bub is all about. I am so glad that I did! Within moments after being seated I was greeted by my server, Francine! What a breath of fresh air she is. Besides her smile and friendly demeanor she made me feel welcomed. I enjoyed a tasty veggie omlete and coffee. My food came quickly and warm. Francine kept my coffee mug full. I will certainly be stopping again....soon! read more

This is my go to place for breakfast in Escondido. The food is excellent, served quickly and it's kind of like Cheers; "everybody knows your name." Really, after dining there three or four times the wait staff all knew my name, even Nemah, the cashier. Good American comfort, food, value, pricing, and the friendliest staff I have ever bumped into. I am having breakfast there at least once a week, typically. read more

Francine is 100% perfectly suited for her job as a server. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast there today, and her warm welcome, her sweet nature, and her PERFECT SERVICE made a great breakfast meal into a delightful experience. We were happy the prices have NOT GONE UP! We ordered a more pricey special, we split it, and couldn't eat it all. We had a country fried steak, hash browns, 2 eggs, 4 pieces of toast. Out the door for $20, including a generous tip for Francine. The menu is HUGE, the place is clean, and the portions are very generous. Add perfect service & a clean restaurant, and this is Pegah's. read more
