    The Cafe Menu
    Steven F.

    The prices at this place are really affordable. The service (Dino) was incredibly friendly, kind and helpful! They do not do reservations, however, you can place your name on the waitlist and they will send a text when your table is ready. I highly recommend this place for quick, easy, affordable breakfast!

    Lobster flatbread
    MiaBenz C.

    Whenever we are here (at least 10x a month), I always get the lobster omelette (my fav, lobster in every bite), lobster flatbread (delicious!) tuna melt (my sons fav), or prime rib panini. I've had the club sandwich, chicken wings, fish n chips, and smoked salmon.. none have disappointed. The portions are big, it usually feeds me more than once. What stands out about this place besides the lobster everything, is the service! We come here so often we picked a favorite server to look for whenever we are here... we even asked him when he's off so we know he's not there lol (Hi Victoriano!).. he's attentive, patient, and just overall wonderful. All the workers here are very nice but he stood out among the rest.

    Steak and Eggs
    Raquel L.

    We ordered the lobster omelette with side choices and I selected the roasted potatoes and sourdough bread. My husband ordered the steak and eggs with the same sides as me. We both enjoyed our order and it was very tasty. Portions are generous and I had to take half of my order home. The service is excellent. Jamaica was our server. She was pleasant and checked on us to make sure that we were ok and not needing anything else. The atmosphere is definitely a cafe vibe; they also have a take out area to place your order near the hostess/bakery are. Cafe is open 24 hrs so great for those people who are hungry after watching a late concert or after gambling during the wee hours of the early morning.

    Chilaquiles and a side or Pechanga potatoes
    Evelyn V.

    We were able to get on the online waitlist through the official website. We still had to check in with the hostess and wait some more, so this may or may not be helpful for anyone else. We had the chilaquiles with chicken and the other with steak,- avocado is extra ($4extra per order). The food was delicious and the portions can definitely be shared with someone else, we were not able to finish our meal. I do recommend.

    It's a typical diner style food with great choices. Our server was super nice and attentive. The portions are big so I ended up sharing with my sister. We had chilaquiles, my dad had an omelette and my mom had steak and eggs. We shared some toast as well. The food was good and coffee was ok. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. We had a great time coming here for breakfast :)

    Cinnamon roll

    We had a great experience at Pechanga Cafe. My wife and I started with the bacon wrapped dates stuffed with Boursin cheese. I usually do not like dates, but these changed my mind. The flavor was rich and savory, and everything worked well together. We also shared the café salad with salmon. The mix of apples, candied pecans, grapes, and feta with the strawberry vinaigrette worked well together. The salmon stood out. It was soft, tender, and melted in our mouth. I ordered the hot Italian sandwich based on our waiter's recommendation. The meats paired well and gave the sandwich a lot of flavor without feeling overwhelming. The fries were crispy and cooked right. My wife ordered the filet mignon with mashed potatoes. Both were done well and tasted great. She has a gluten allergy, and the staff handled it without any issues by serving the whiskey sauce on the side. We finished with the cinnamon roll. This stood out the most. It had a savory balance, and the whipped cream, sauce, and candied nuts brought everything together in a way I have not had before. Service was solid, food came out on time, and the staff paid attention to details. We will be back.

    Lobster omelette
    Janet T.

    FIRST TIME trying the Pechanga Cafe! It's right next to BLAZING NOODLES!! TIP: Come early for BREAKFAST! It gets busy after 10:30am on the weekends! LOBSTER OMELETTE $24: Me and my hubby shared and it was very filling for both of us. The omelette was more on a soft FRENCH style and not well done so I liked it SOFT. Evening was also LOW SODIUM... BAGEL with CREAM CHEESE was very good! FRESH SQUEEZED OJ: The portion was SMALL for $9 Our bellies were HAPPY and FULL until dinner time! ROCK ON THE PECHANGA CAFE!!!!

    My son's Black & Blue steak sandwich with onion rings.
    Amy C.

    Tuesday, 12-10-2024: We wanted to use our Easy Dine and to see Mary, our favorite server & to give her a Christmas gift. She takes such awesome care of us; consistently providing exceptional customer service. We were seated right away in a comfortable booth. This restaurant is always clean and well lit. My husband ordered the tuna sandwich on wheat along with chicken noodle soup. I wasn't very hungry so I opted for their dinner salad with French onion soup. As usual everything was prepared well and delicious! I had room so I ordered their tasty crème brûlée. Our dining experience was an enjoyable one with great service thanks to Mary and excellent food!

    Fried shrimp was great
    Ellie Q.

    This little cafe is open 24/7. We had a late lunch on a weekday. The servers were very friendly. We had great coffee first. And I ordered the steak fries. They were very yummy. We also ordered a Caesar salad which was delicious and fried shrimp, also delicious. The next morning we had breakfast. It was good except for the pancakes! Don't get the pancakes. Not good. We sent them back. But other than that, it was pretty good.

    Blue cheese burger w/fries
    Eddie D.

    Tried the blue cheese burger with arugula and caramelized onions--cooked perfectly medium rare. Really solid burger! The fries were nice and crispy on the outside, and pairing them with the ranch dressing made them even better. Definitely hit the spot if in the area...

    Melissa K.

    We came here for breakfast and had a great experience. My husband got the tuna melt which was AMAZING. I don't think I can have a tuna melt on any other bread now. I had the basic breakfast which was exactly that and we also got the cinnamon roll. I am very picky with cinnamon rolls and this was one of the best I've ever had! I noticed there were no pictures of it so I'm adding one for you!!

    I have been coming to Pechanga Resort and Casino for years, and the Pechanga Café has always been my family's go-to spot for a quick breakfast fix. The restaurant is conveniently located next to the bell desk and casino tower. We visited around 12 PM, and they were already serving the lunch and dinner menu. Fortunately, a few breakfast classics were still available. My parents ordered the breakfast platter while I went with the club sandwich, which I highly recommend on sourdough. For only $17, the portion was humongous and incredibly satisfying. The food was excellent overall. The only downside was the service, which could definitely be improved. It took a few tries to flag down a server for napkins and creamer, but it was nothing too frustrating. One highlight is the kids menu. The pancake plate is only $10 and comes with fresh strawberries, making it a great option for families. Always a reliable and tasty stop when visiting Pechanga. Also, if you have easy dine points or comped points with Pechanga rewards (only card members), you can easily use them at this establishment!

On Saturday we wandered into TCI for dinner and started with the heirloom tomato and burrata with crostini. It was so fresh and delicious that I briefly considered writing the tomatoes a thank-you note. Next came the Harvest Valley Salad, which somehow managed to make me genuinely excited about lettuce--an achievement that deserves recognition from the culinary Olympics. For our entrée we ordered the Wagyu Steak Frites with chimichurri. The steak was cooked so perfectly it should probably be framed instead of sliced. Every bite was fantastic. We finished with the ube panna cotta, which was elegant, silky, and the kind of dessert that makes you promise you'll "just have one bite" before accidentally eating half of it. Nathan took wonderful care of us all evening. He was warm, friendly, attentive, and struck that perfect balance between making us feel welcome and giving us time to enjoy the gorgeous patio. Watching the sunset with live music in the background and that spectacular view? It was one of those evenings that quietly reminds you why people go out to eat in the first place. Apparently we enjoyed ourselves so much that we came back the very just two days for lunch. (Scientific research requires repeat testing.) We started with the hummus, which arrived looking like it belonged in an art gallery. Fortunately, it tasted every bit as good as it looked. Then came the chile relleno, which was absolutely outstanding. If this dish ever goes missing, I'd recommend checking my refrigerator first. Faith was wonderfully friendly and outgoing, and our food expeditor, David, was so genuinely warm and personable that by the time he left the table, it felt like we'd known him for years. Restaurants can teach hospitality, but that kind of kindness is simply who some people are. My only tiny suggestion: please turn on the patio misters during these triple-digit California afternoons. The food was keeping us warm emotionally; the weather was handling the rest. And on the way out we let Christine know the carpets at the entrances needed a vacuum. Fantastic food, exceptional service, beautiful views, and an atmosphere that keeps drawing us back. Cork Fire Kitchen has once again reminded us why it's one of our favorite places to dine. Bravo to the entire team!

It has a Wagyu Beef patty (I order mine medium), caramelized onions, smoked Gouda cheese, habanero bacon jam(don't knock it), roasted garlic aioli, and arugula on a brioche bun. This burger is sophisticated and playful. It is truly an experience when you eat it. It comes with steak fries and I recommend getting them extra crispy. The service was ok this evening. We had to wait a minute to be serviced but once helped it went great. Give this burger a try and don't skip on the bacon jam, it makes the burger a chefs kiss...

We also tried one of their stronger signature cocktails, and they definitely don't hold back -- there's a reason they limit those drinks to two per person! Both drinks were creative and well-crafted. The bartenders clearly know their craft, and the drink presentation was outstanding. Service was good, although not especially memorable, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. One thing that would make the experience even more immersive would be if the entire staff wore cowboy attire to match the Old West theme. With the speakeasy setting and vintage decor, it would add a fun touch and make the experience feel even more authentic. Overall, Twain Speakeasy offers excellent cocktails, good music, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely come back again, and my recommendation is to arrive early since reservations aren't available and I can see this place filling up quickly on busy nights.
