Pegah's Kitchen - Yummy breakfast, great service - American Near Me - Vista, California

Amazing service and outstanding food. Large portions of a wide variety of food. There's something for everyone. You won't be disappointed!!

The place is super cute inside . Our waitress was so helpful and very attentive to our request. We had the biscuits and gravy. It was delicious, and the full order was enough for 2 of us. Would recommend for a delicious breakfast and friendly service. read more

Went in for breakfast today with my sister, nephew, and one of my sons. Great service, fresh food, and overall enjoyable experience! We've been wanting to try Pegah's since they started the renovations- glad we were able to stop In today. Bright, clean atmosphere, friendly staff, and Homestyle cooking. What more can you ask for? My only suggestion would be to change up the turkey bacon.. a thick cut Columbus cooked well done would've been perfect! Can't wait to come back read more

Ordered club sandwiches for take out. I had to make 2 trips because the host in the front only gave me one bag which only contained one sandwich and fries. Had to drive back with nothing in return for the inconvenience after giving them a $5 tip(big mistake). After making my second trip and going back home AGAIN, I opened up my food and MY sandwich was a half fast job. The bread wasn't toasted and my fries and sandwich was soggy. For spending $35, this places was a huge disappointment. read more

I'd heard great things about breakfast at this place. My visit was disappointing. The service was slow, our eggs were both over cooked and cold, and the potatoes were mushy. I may try it again sometime based on all the great things I'd heard. read more

im from the la area and came out to visit san diego. so many breakfast choices out there and im glad i went with Pegah's Kitchen. I ordered the french toast combo waffle combo and eggs benedict and everyone with me enjoyed it. real good food at reasonable prices. check this place out if your around here or comming out towards san diego. read more

Would of liked the Mexican Skillet more if it had spice to it. Not sure exactly what the Spanish sauce was but very similar to what restaurants give as a dip w/ chips before your food comes. It comes with toast... recommend their sourdough. Overall, it was good. read more

Really homey feeling place! Easy to find and no wait at all to be seated! We had ordered the Chicken Fried Steak omelette special and the eggs Benedict and they were great! The food quality had a lot of tender love and care and the service staff was very friendly. read more

We went there because of the good reviews and were not disappointed. It was your typical diner environment. The service was excellent, the food came quickly, our meal was delicious, and the portions were generous. We ordered the french toast, corned beef hash with homestyle potatoes, and the chicken fried steak with hashbrowns and a biscuit. So much food we had leftovers. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Stopped in when I needed to kill an hour before a meeting this afternoon. Glad I did! I regret not getting my server's name, but she was so nice & made sure my iced tea was refilled. Food came out quickly, just as I ordered & tasted great. I really enjoyed the crepes. I look forward to coming here again sometime and trying some other menu items. read more

This is the first time I've been here and will definitely not be the last! Everything was perfect; coffee, eggs, biscuits and gravy, waffle, etc... Wish I could give them 6 stars. The staff was courteous and attentive. This place is the best in town! We'll be back!!! read more

Small diner vibe but great service and food! Would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Stopped in for breakfast. They have ample seating and we were quickly seated. We were seated in a large booth, very comfortable and perfect for our group. We all ordered at once, and our food was brought out in a timely manner. I ordered the huevos rancheros, my favorite thing to order everywhere! Very yummy! There was ample parking outside, and the service was great, overall recommend! read more

I got the Cali Benedict it was amazing! Very big portions for an extremely good price. I've been driving by this place for years and decided to Try it and was very impressed. Everyone is very friendly. Definitely going back read more

My first time to this Pegah's Kitchen location I'm used to the excellent service and food at their Escondido location so I expected the same for Vista...unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We were seated right away, the restaurant was mostly empty at 12ish pm. I ordered what I usually order...the AM starter breakfast with eggs over medium, hash brown potatoes, bacon and a pancake. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the pancake was large and fluffy...however, the hash browns were way over cooked and too crunchy to enjoy. The bacon, I ordered it crispy, was definitely crispy but instead of actual strips of bacon, I was served little chunks...like large bacon bits...like they were trying to get rid of bacon that had previously been cooked. Our server seemed indifferent...I got a vibe that she was not happy having to serve us. Even though it's further away, I'll be sticking with the Escondido location from now on. read more

Doesnt look like much on the outside, but the food was great. Big servings of food, people working were super friendly & service was great too. Food came out super quick and clean on the inside. I got the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito and added potatoes and it was yummy. Went in with a big party and servers were great about it & kid friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Not meaning it in a bad way, but it reminds me of Denny's. Of course better than Denny's, but still similar. From the items on the menu, to the pricing, to the whole feel of the place. I wasn't a fan of the Hashbrowns at all because they felt kind of mushy. And I'm not one to send my food back to the kitchen. All I ended up finishing was my eggs and 2 pieces of toast. The waitress came to drop the bill off, I handed her some cash and then continued eating my food. As soon as she came back she asked if I was finished. Rude much? I still had some Bacon, a piece of toast and Hashbrowns left. I hate when it feels like people are rushing me to leave. But I didn't say anything, I just let her take it since majority of it was garbage anyways. Don't think I'll be returning. read more

Was looking for a place to eat breakfast/lunch because I usual place was closed. After reading the reviews, I figured why not, the place is really cozy. It has its usual clientele which at the time of my visit 0930, is an older crowd. I sat down, the waitress was nice, and pleasant, she game me space and time to choose and when I narrowed it down to 3 items she was fast was her recommendation. The food was great, the place was clean and peaceful and I'll be adding this to my rotation of eateries when I'm in the area. Easy 5 stars. read more

Pegah's Kitchen - Ruben Sandwich and fries... it was completely delicious. - American Near Me - Vista, California

My first time here and I got their club sandwich. It was extremely tasty and the fact they used real turkey meats versus deli meat was a big plus for me. Their fries were spot on. Even getting it to go, the fries remained crispy. I can't wait to try other items on the menu. read more

Second time popping by Pegah's. Even on a busy afternoon we felt right at home. The incredible service and tasty treats well worth the time. Highly recommended! read more

Very nice place for Breakfast. Enjoyed the veggie omletttte with home fries and country sausage gravy. My son had the Denver omletttte. Service was excellent. Restaurant was very clean and peaceful. Lastly, the price was very reasonable for what we had. I will come back more often if I lived nearby, but unfortunately I do not. read more

Another excellent lunch at this fine little cafe. Had the Mediterranean chicken salad and a bowl of homemade tortilla soup. Great flavor on both. The front of the house service was top notch as usual. Cant say enough about this place. read more

Delicious! We wanted a simple diner for breakfast and Pegah's Kitchen did not disappoint. The booths had glass windows separating each table both for covid safety and privacy. I ordered pork chops with egg and it was yummy! Definitely would visit again for a simple breakfast with large selection on the menu. Friendly staff. read more

It's a greasy diner. Greasy food that lacks flavor. If that's your jam, you'll be happy. When I was seated, the hostess asked if I'd like coffee. I don't drink coffee so she took away the supposedly clean mug from the table. It was not a good first impression when I saw crud inside the mug. It hadn't been washed well. But whatever, I'm not drinking out of it anyways, so I pretended not to notice. My food came in a timely manner. My waitress was hard to track down when I actually wanted her, but otherwise she walked past a lot and asked how I was doing (about 3x more than I like). They have gluten-free bread. So that's a nice touch. Beware if you have allergies - definitely don't assume anything. Mention your allergies, and find out if they're able to handle it. Before that everything is cooked in butter; and your gluten-free toast will come slathered in butter. I used to not eat healthy, I didn't have allergies, and I wasn't so picky on what I ate. Back then, if I lived nearby, I'd probably eat here sometimes. But I'm now a healthy eater and I'm aware of allergies and food-sensitivities, so I won't be back. read more

The food here is delicious especially the pecan chicken salad. Diane Is the best waitress, she is nice and friendly and attentive yo our needs. read more

These days a lot of local businesses are suffering financially so my family and I have made an effort to support this business several times during the pandemic, one of the servers is actually an old friend so it had been positive experiences until today. I was very surprised when the owner of this restaurant basically shut the door in my face on my way out because he misunderstood our conversation in Spanish with the server. I am genuinely surprised he asked me not to speak to her even though I didn't interrupt her from her responsibilities as there was only one client other than myself there. I am saddened and feel very uncomfortable at how rude he was after coming here multiple times a week. Some days almost every day. Although it bums me out, my family and I will DEFINITELY no longer support this local business. I will speak Spanish and spend my money someplace else. read more

This place is amazing. The waitresses are always wonderful. Quick service too! The food is great and always fresh. The Monte Cristo (sub ham for Turkey, Ha!) is delicious! read more

Tasty food and great, friendly service! The atmosphere was relaxing and diner reminiscent

This restaurant has gone through several owners and now is a Pegah's kitchen. My hope is it remains a Pegah's for a long time. All the staff including the owner are friendly and attentive. Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner the food is fresh and well made. As far as portions, I can't imagine anyone leaving still hungry. The portions are generous to say the least. This restaurant is close to home and has become a local favorite. read more

Just tried Pegah's Kitchen for the first time - Mission Omelette with fresh fruit and raisin toast. Omelette was perfect, the fruit was ripe and fresh and the toast was nice and buttery, just how I like it. My server Joyce was just the best with lots of laughs, attentive service and great conversation! Recommend! read more

Classic old school service with care and attention with good and filling diner favorites. For breakfast they have the best corned beef hash around--nothing weird just good potato, onion and corned beef flavor. Expect a good portion size at lunch, whether it be a burger, sandwich, or salad. The staff couldn't be nicer. This is a welcoming place. read more

Great place and atmosphere, excellent service. Very clean and organized place. Very nice owner and very humble. Food was percent and had excellent flavor. Salad was delicious, our kids enjoyed their meal. Goo service deserves a good tip. Thank you Pegahs read more

We are staying in Carlsbad at Sheraton by LEGOland,. Looking for breakfast, we found this little gem on Yelp. Very friendly place. The restaurant is very clean. The food is very delicious. The husband and kid had a waffle and eggs breakfast which is very plenty that they could have split. I ordered the short stack buckwheat pancakes and added strawberries, blueberries and bananas. Yum! Sooo delicious. Check it out if you are nearby and even worth the drive. read more

Great good with no frills, kind staff and delicious (what feels like) home cooked food. Love this little cafe for breakfast and lunch.

Mom heard this new place was on point and suggested it for a late breakfast. We arrived to witness a unhappy customer discussing his dissatisfaction for the cheeseburger he ate and the owner arguing with him. Never in my life have I heard a business owner tell a customer "customers are always right except for now, you are wrong" then shakes his hands at him as he walks out. Needless to say not a good first impression..... We were seated quickly as it was empty. Super nice waitress and decent service. Ordered breakfast burrito for youngest, corn beefed hash & I got a omelet and side of biscuits and gravy (that's how I judge a AM eatery) Our food came out hot, fresh and fast. Moms hash was good, nicely seasoned and not dry, Burrito was average at best & omelet was decent. Didn't jive on the random melted cheese slices but all and all it was good. Wish the biscuits and gravy were better, too starchy and a heavy flour taste. We may go back to try their sweet varieties of breakfast delights. Would've given it a 4 star but the owner being a rude twat was a major turnoff! read more

My parents and I were looking for a place to eat breakfast/lunch. My dad said he read about a place in the paper on Santa Fe named Peghas so we decided to give it a try. We walked in and we're greeted by the owner and a very nice waitress sat us down. We ordered, mom got a burger, dad got a pastrami sandwich and I got a sandwich cleaned the bird. And it didn't disappoint. The owner checked on us and he received nothing but smiles from us. Our waitress was awesome she saw our drinks were half way and brought us another. She was attentive and friendly. We even overheard a woman with her grandchildren, she was there from La Jolla and she read about this place and drove up here to eat and she was glad she did. The owner was super friendly and attentive as well. My dad and I told him how happy we were with our food and the service. He knew a lot of his customers name, and to see someone be so attentive to clients left a lasting impression. We would recommend this place to anyone the food is fresh, the fries are delish and the owner is checking on all of his customers to make sure you're doing ok. Highly recommend :) read more

I just paid for something I didn't even want! I ordered jalapeno Hash, thinking I was getting cornbread hash and jalapeno, nope! Just hash browns w/ the equivalent of 2 sliced of jalapeno chopped. Ordered my eggs medium, got sunny side up. I had hoped, but greatly disappointed. Left feeling ripped off. read more
