Bonny's Cafe

Yummy fries and grilled cheese. Went well with cream of broccoli soup. Ham and cheese melt was delicious.

We meet here every Thursday morning at 7:30AM for our East County Referrals small business group meeting. I love the food here - the corned beef hash, chicken fried steak, biscuits ans gravy, and country breakfast are awesome. The quality of the coffee is very good, and always fresh. The chefs really do take pride in what they are making in the kitchen. The staff are all friendly and efficient . Highly recommend Bonny’s!

This is the classic "homestyle" diner; better than IHOP or Dennys.The food was fresh; good quality and tasted well, came out very quickly as well. It a bit on the pricy side, however the portions are HIGE.Service was splendid, quick and prompt.Everything was clean and spotless.Rather drive here 15 mins away and enjoy better quality food than go to any commercial chain restaurant.

The restaurant is located off of Broadway and there is easy access to the parking lot. Parking is on the west side of the building.Upon entry we were greeted by a friendly staff and fabulous fifties atmosphere. Great oldies were playing a the red and checkered decor.We sat in a comfortable booth and were quickly greeted by our server. She was kind and had a great smile. Unfortunately I didn't make note of her name. Our drinks were delivered quickly and she was patient with us while we perused the menu. I appreciated that she kept our cups full with refills.The menu is limited, but it is a good variety of options. We were a little disappointed that some of the items from older menu photos were no longer available. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but it is to be expected with the increase in the cost of their supplies.We ordered the French Toast with a side of bacon and the Chicken Fried Steak and eggs with hashbrowns and a side of biscuits and gravy.The French Toast was a large portion of fluffy thick toast. It was served with butter, syrup, and powdered sugar. It was DELICIOUS! The side of bacon was cooked crispy and had great flavor. I HIGHLY recommend this breakfast.Unfortunately the review of the Chicken Fried Steak platter isn't as good. The steak was a good size for breakfast. I was glad I asked for the gravy on the side, it turned out i did not care for the taste. The gravy was a bit bland and the chunks of meat in the gravy was not good. The scrambled eggs were cooked just right and were fresh and fluffy. The hashbrowns were extremely greasy and smashed into a thin serving. The hashbrowns tasted as though an old oil was used to cook them. The biscuits and gravy, also left something to be desired.While I didn't enjoy my breakfast as much as my companion, I will come back to try something else on their menu.

WHAT IS BONNY'S CAFE?A homestlye diner with oldies nostalgia and background music with a plethora of good homecoming meal choices from breakfast omelettes to pork chop dinners.Closes at 2 PM. I arrived on a Saturday at 1245 PM and was not rushed. I had immediate seating. When I came at 10AM there was a 2 minute wait.WHAT MEAL DO YOU SUGGEST?The food is just plain delicious. I used to eat here every week for 10 years when I lived in El Cajon. I stopped by after completing the Iron Mountain Hike.I only order the Popeye Omelette with a pancake and hash browns. Gosh this food is so good. The hash browns are crisp on the outside and soft in the inside with a slight buttery flavor. So good, no ketchup needed. And when I bring friends their feedback is similar with their meal choices. It's good.WHAT IS THE ATMOSPHERE?Diner style table service with the option of counter seating. Waitpersons assist each other without the side-eye :). Prices are reasonable at 13-16 per plate. Kid and senior menu available. Wheelchair and scooter friendly accessibility. Indoor seating with limited outdoor seating."I love oldies just kind of sweet, slinky, Fifties music. The slow stuff. And Billie Holiday."---Nastassja Kinski#JUKEN123#bonnyscafe#popeyeomelette#oldiesmusicisgoodmusic

Great food and excellent service

I have been there multiple times the staff is always nice the food was always delicious and they play music at a low volume so if you want you could talk to someone or if your by yourself you can just listen to the music. They are definitely kid friendly. Overall I definitely recommend going here.

First time at this location for breakfast. I ordered the New York steak and egg with country potatoes and biscuits with gravy.What better way to test a new place on their food is how they cook their steaks and eggs. I ordered my steak medium and my eggs over medium. Both were cooked perfectly. The home country potatoes were delicious and the gravy on the biscuits was perfect.The staff was attentive and very accommodating.I will definitely drive to this place again to try their other items. I highly recommend it. FYI - I got to the restaurant around 12:45 pm and there was plenty of parking.
