I ordered on DoorDash and asked for a candle on my birthday because I was going to be alone AND THE LOVELY PEOPLE HERE SENT A A CANDLE W SWEET NOTES AND A CUPCAKE. I actually had a terrible birthday and it was so nice to see and really cheered me up. Food was delicious too so whoever was working on the 22nd , bless you.

We were in the area on a weekend getaway celebrating my husbands birthday and we picked this pet friendly restaurant not only to try the 1/2 pound cinnamon roll but also because of the owner Dalia's story. Originally a busser, she worked her way up to general manager over the last 33 years and amazingly accepted became owner last year. Her pride, commitment, and dedication to making this little spot what it is is truly commendable. It made the experience even better when we found out that Dalia herself was the person taking our order and caring after our table. An owner, on the floor, taking orders and delivering food along side her staff. If that's not commitment I don't know what is. Food was great, service amazing, and the story pricless. If you're going thru Ramona, CA please support this business. 🙏 ❤️

WoW! We both ordered the chicken fried steak with eggs and hashbrowns. It's probably one of if not the best chicken fried steaks I've ever had. Hand made in a world of pre-ordered and the pepper gravy has just a hint of pepper but with an oh so ever tiny bit of sweetness to it. Asked for the salsa for the hash browns, which was also made in-house, and some of the best I've ever had! Great flyer with just enough kick! We've already decided on a return trip to Ramona just to try more items! The service was FAST, especially for everything being made in-house and as friendly as it could be. Five stars across the board from me and the wife!

I got the French dip. It was great. Nice and hot. Of course, eating the other half later. Big portions. Husband got the bacon burger. Loved it with his onions rings. Will come back! Yummy 💜

Love this cafe! Right in the heart of downtown Ramona, on the way into Julian or Borrego Springs. The food is delicious, and the menu is expansive! One of those places that really has something for everyone. Great burgers, and amazing breakfast! Definitely recommend any of the omelettes, or the burgers, or ANYTHING!! My favorite has to be the Flamethrower burger, it has a nice kick with the jalapenos on it. One of those places that really has that hometown vibe. Definitely stop by!!

My husband and I decided to take a little Drive to Ramona (from Lakeside) to try out a new breakfast place which I picked out on the drive up. I decided on the Ramona Cafe, and I'm glad I did! Our food was excellent, and our waitress, Kelsey, was outstanding! We didn't get the cinnamon roll that was featured on Triple D, but we WILL be back!

Delicious breakfast and excellent service. We were in a bit of a hurry and we let them know and they got us in and out in 30 minutes! Definitely get a cinnamon roll to go. Definitely don't get one per person, they are gigantic! One feeds at least 4 people. Probably better there, served warm, if you have room in your stomach. I took half of my breakfast burrito to go it was so much food!

The food here is amazing! I went here with my family. I got the Smokehouse Burger, which was delicious; the barbecue sauce and onions are so good. My family got the ABC burger, Reuben sandwich, and “The Kitchen Sink”; they all said their dishes were great. The service was excellent, our servers were very friendly. The atmosphere was more country-style. I really enjoyed my time here, and would return.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We stopped in for the huge Cinnabon that was featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, but - ALL the food was absolutely amazing! They have the best biscuits, hands down. It even held up well as leftovers the next day. The portions are very generous and well worth a visit. The staff was super friendly and efficient too. Don't roll through Ramona without stopping in!

After a long hike at Eagle Rock we were seriously hungry. I had seen them on Diner Drive in & Dives and we had to try out the cinnamon roll. We were going to take it home but it didn't make it to the take out box! The Eggs Benedict was on point as was the chicken friend steak. Service was outstanding and we never had to wait for refills . If you like older diners where everyone knows your name come here :)

Such a cool place. We've been here several times, and its always consistently very good. Their biscuits and gravy are a favorite as is the chicken fried steak. My husband got a new meni item, bourbon French toast, and it was delicious! Thick toast, browned perfectly. Breanna was very welcoming and attentive. We'll be back!

Comfort food, quite popular with the locals. Nice hometown- cookin' country restaurant. Food was under seasoned and relied heavily on the cheese and salsa for flavor. If you're vegan or vegetarian, very few options are available. You can get fruit (no berries) or plain oatmeal. Coffee was fresh and good. Street parking is available. They had their HUGE cinnamon roll available which was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. It's not always available and certainly worth a try when it is. One is enough for up to 4 people to share. Good attentive service with a home-y atmosphere.

Ordered chicken fried steak eggs over medium and potatoes. Breading came off of the hamburger patty they called a steak, eggs were over well and the little scoop of potato was plain. The gravy was good and the salsa was just tomato but it did have a bite. I had not eaten there in a while and it was not as good as I remembered. The place down the street does a better job on the same items for the same price. Service was adequate.
