Halfway House

Great food and service. With a party of 8 at 9am on a Saturday, we got seated in about 20 minutes, which was faster than I expected.

Service was great, friendly and plenty attentive. All the pre breakfast chatter evaporated when the food arrived. Of 7 adults and a kid, everyone liked their food, from the corned beef hash, eggs Benedict, eggs and steak, to the pancakes.

And then there were the cars and the weather outside (see photos). Holy moly. Made for a great morning in southern California.

We'd read plenty of bad Google reviews relating to both food and service. I have no idea what the problem is. We arrived and were greeted with smiles. The place was packed and we were quickly seated without a wait. Drinks came and our food came just 6 minutes after we ordered. Chrystal was our server and she'd repeatedly asked patrons in passing at each table if they'd needed anything. I'd give high grades to both service with a smile and the tasty food.

**Spoke with Chrystal and she said the poor reviews were probatbly old and due mostly to a disgruntled employee who has since been let go.**

Great place to stop and have a hearty breakfast or lunch. They have limited hours so call ahead to make sure they are open. One cool thing about this place is that they rent the place out to the film industry so you may have seen it in countless films. I know that it was in Heartbreak Ridge with Clint Eastwood. Can't remember all of the films but I will tell you that the list goes on for days and just keeps growing. Once you see the character here, you will understand why it is in such great demand. Enjoy!

We love going here! We are locals, so we bring family and friends here from out of town quite often. We love the atmosphere, the staff is always friendly and cheerful. The food is consistently yummy! I love the Eggs Florentine. Only thing I would suggest is adding a veggie burger to the menu, that would make me very happy!
