Good food, great prices!…read more We are always looking for places for breakfast. I think it may be our favorite meal to eat out and Caleb's will probably make it into our rotation. The place is part of the red bridge shopping center which has been redone and looks really nice. I got the cheesy omelet with ham. Some variation of this is what I always get. It had cheddar and jack cheese, and it tasted really good. I think if they would have added American cheese to the mix it would have been perfect. I got the potatoes and unfortunately they were over seasoned. The sourdough toast was good. My wife got the country scramble. She liked it but she thought the gravy was just ok. Seems like gravy is the weakness at a lot of places so if you find one that has great gravy then that is five stars. The restaurant itself is fine. It's clean, but to me it just looks like every other breakfast restaurant and I wish they would have done something different to stand out. Our server was very accurate, efficient and pleasant. It's a breakfast place so they have big sections and turning tables is the name of the game, so keep that in mind. Having worked in restaurants in my younger days I totally know what makes a great breakfast server and this is what you want. The price was really good. My wife and I ate there for 30 bucks. In 2026 that is really good. Overall, the place was good and the price was great. I gave it 4 stars because nothing stands out but it's solid all around. For the most part, that is all you need, we will be back!

The meat is sliced fresh and is served in delicious bread with an abundant amount of condiments, because let's be honest if half your frig isn't condiments then what are you doing! The salad was massive, like a 3 pounder. I can't wait to go back and try their drinks and desserts. Oh yea WE WILL BE BACK!!!

I had the 3 daily tacos and they were nice enough to let me try some with shredded cheese and some with powdered. Personally, I like the shredded better, but the powdered was ok too.

I'm updating my review of Paul's Drive In. Today was a much better experience than last time…read more I came to Pauls for a late lunch and ordered only a double cheeseburger with mustard, pickle and onions and a Coke. That's my standard test for any burger joint. Sometimes I'll get fries or tots, but I don't really care for either generally. Today I got a big old Smashburger. The patties were thin crispy and more than ample. Great flavor and sear on the meat. Friendly gal at the front register who allowed me to take my time as I was unfamiliar with the menu. She was very kind. The floor is a little dirty, and it smells kind of funky, which is appropriate for a good burger joint. I will be back. Thanks to my wife for convincing me to give Paul's a second chance.

Lots to look at while waiting for your food or even after eating. I tried the Reuben and while it wasn't my favorite version, it was fine. I like mine with more sauerkraut and a little less greasy (watching the cook, I think it's because she adds the sauerkraut to the grill where it soaks up grease, but loses the sauerkraut flavor). Hubby had a burger and malt and thought it was good. Definitely worth ordering shakes and malts here!!

They had a nice specials board with some interesting stuff. Notice the prices on the board the place is priced well. My omelette was fine. It could have used a bit more cheese, and the vegetables could have used a bit more time cooking. It did have lots of ham. The hash browns were good but the toast had that fake oil tasting butter instead of real butter and I don't like that stuff. My wife got the pancakes and she thought they were good and had plenty of syrup, but again fake butter. Our waitress was super attentive and friendly. I accidentally put French vanilla in my coffee and she brought me a new cup straight away. The place is what you would expect it to be from looking at it from the outside. Nothing fancy, but that doesn't bother us at all. We like eating breakfast at these greasy spoons. All in all it was fine. Not sure I would drive across town to eat there but if we were close we might go again.

Tried the Texas Benny which was really good. The gravy was tasty but the potatoes weren't seasoned or salted. Also tried the Denver scrambler. I ordered with breakfast potatoes but ended up getting hash-browns but besides that it was good. They did fully butter my bread when I would've wanted the option on how much to apply. Also tried their horchata which didn't have as much cinnamon as I'm used too but still super yummy. There weren't many people here on a Sunday at 9 but they seemed to be running around while having one big party. I personally think it's a typical breakfast place and don't plan on coming back but it's nice to try at least once.

Our order came out pretty quickly, though another employee had to run out with something that was left out. About five minutes into the drive home, the restaurant called again--another item had been forgotten. I turned around and called when I got back. They offered a free drink, which we declined. At that point, the food was already cooling off, and we still had a 10-minute drive ahead, so waiting around for drinks didn't seem worth it. Mom got the Eggibirria Omelette and really liked it. I tried a bite and thought it was good too. A little too "wet" for me, but that's just personal taste. Now, about my order: The Mamba Burrito. It was big, and the spinach cheese dip was actually really good--though some of it leaked into the bag during our trips. My main issue is with the burrito itself. The menu says it's filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, chorizo, pico de gallo, and potatoes, topped with spinach cheese dip. That's not quite how I'd describe it. Honestly, it should say: "A giant flour tortilla filled with potatoes (and a few other things if you dig around enough)." The potatoes weren't just part of the mix--they were the mix. The eggs were barely noticeable, buried in what felt like a mountain of spuds. Bacon showed up in a few random flakes. The sausage and chorizo were there, but the chorizo was not a flavor I enjoyed and I usually love chorizo. And the pico? Maybe a spoonful, tops. To be blunt, I think I could've ordered two full-sized baked potatoes and still ended up with less potato than what was packed into that burrito. It was just too much--overwhelming and totally out of balance. I'm not saying I'd never go back; sometimes a place deserves a second shot. But with so many options out there, this one's not exactly high on my list for a return visit.
