My husband received the wrong club sandwich, accidents happen, which the friendly waiter took right back to get corrected. When the plate came back with the correct sandwich, it had the same fries on it which were soggy and cold 😕 but the sandwich was good and the wait staff were friendly. My food was good, I recommend the biscuits and gravy. The portion was so large my husband split the order with me waiting for his sandwich order to be corrected. The diner in El Cajon was very clean and pleasant. 🙂 

Business response:

Thanks for the kind words and recommendation, Ellen. Keep Feeding Your Inner Bear! We look forward to seeing you again very soon!

The Good first! The food is amazing, nice big portions. Now the bad! We don’t know where the waitress was in her head but She was a mess! Forgetting items, never checked back on us, order was wrong for my grandson. We’ll visit again but they need to work on customer service!

great service, good food, only 2 problems 1) cook needs to learn what basted eggs are 2) crispy bacon means on the grill longer not deep fried, other then that we had a great experience and WILL be back
