Pegah’s Kitchen

Quality of food was not that great.
Ordered biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were served cold with lukewarm gravy in top. Cold pre-​packaged biscuits and canned gravy are not a good combination.
The sausage links had no snap to them and was the lower quality type with the white-​gray filling inside.
The wife’s omelette with diced ham looked unappealing.
Unfortunately won’t be coming back.

Great place first time actually eating in usually just pickup n going but today my daughter n son and I went in the waitress was a sweet heart our food was so delicious and prompt service defiantly give it a try

I went on a Sunday morning, and it is very popular! I sat at the counter since I was by myself. Had eggs, sausage links, and a waffle. Delicious. The coffee was great too. I was hungry and the meal was excellent.
The wait staff could use some training in establishing a good customer atmosphere. One was having a debate with a customer and a lot of scowls were exchanged — I think they knew each other so I guess it was a «friendly» debate. Another seemed to make odd and inappropriate and awkward comments and attempts at conversation. Yet another complained loudly about another employee always being late. Anyway — my advice, the Disney advice — you are on stage and are trying to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for your customers. This is a small comment and I wouldn’t take any stars for it – just a suggestion.

Surprisingly large and bright little Resturaunt. Slightly hidden– but that only adds to its charm. The food was fine, nothing impeccable or truly noteworthy. But it wasn’t necessarily bad. Just don’t order the ham… THAT was not great.?I noticed our server knew her regulars and addressed them by name… Super sweet… Almost makes me want to become a regular myself now :) almost

So my friend and I were in the area because of work. After we finished up our business, I jumped on Unilocal and started looking for places to have lunch.
I wasn’t really sure what I was looking for, so I did a very wide search. This place came up and the name kinda threw me off. I did see the reviews and thought it would be a good place to visit, so I pitched it to my friend and he agreed this would be the place for us.
We walked in and the place was kinda empty. We got sat down immediately and we started looking at the menu. I ended up choosing breakfast, which was a great choice!
I highly recommend the lumberjack slam. I didn’t realize the amount of food I was going to get. I also wisely chose the country potatoes, which were delicious.
Service was great, we were checked on every few minutes and they made me feel at home. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area.

UPDATE on June 11, one day later:
Though «Fred, co-​owner» posted a professional public response, he did contact me privately here on Unilocal with an unprofessional and rude message. The «Funny» response to my review also came from him. I’m wondering if he did the same to previous customers who remarked on the same exact things I remarked on. Thank you for showing me what you’re really like, but show the public something else. You have no worries that I will set foot in your establishment again.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Visited on June 10, at 10:30 AM. I was in town, after driving from over an hour away. The only reason I chose this restaurant for breakfast was because of the great Unilocal reviews. I have always had great success learning from other people’s experiences and advice, until today. I have no clue why people rate it so well. IHOP or Denny’s has better tasting food, so that’s saying something.
Waitress was attentive and friendly. Quick refills on coffee. That is the reason for one star.
However, it’s hard to believe that everything my party of two was served was ultimately flavorless. The only tasteful thing was the freshly brewed decaf coffee and machine-​spout «poured» hot chocolate with whipped cream.
Our order was classic eggs Benedict with home potatoes, and a kids order of hotcakes with one egg and bacon.
Although the restaurants window decals and menus state «all homemade food», the hollandaise sauce was definitely from a cheap mix and did not even have any flav

Really cool little sit down breakfast joint off of mission in San Marcos. This place has a bit of a homely feel to it that just makes you want to come back. The service is solid, place is immaculate and the food is actually pretty dang tasty. I had the chorizo/​avocado skillet with an English muffin and some iced tea, nothing to complain about whatsoever. I would consider this little diner as an alternative to Denny’s or even the more crowded Mama Kat’s. I recommend giving this place a shot if you’re in the mood for a good breakfast.
