Cosy place with great food. It was busy but the service was phenomenal. We never had to wait to have our coffee topped up and the biscuits and home fries were made from scratch. Loved it.

This is my kind of diner. Fresh homemade food, large portions, good coffee, great service, and of course PIES (we got a piece of coconut/chocolate cream and split it, amazing)! Shout-out to Marco, what a great, friendly, and efficient server he is.

Hard to ask for more from a diner. Delish food, locally sourced ingredients and great service all at a reasonable price. We came in for Christmas breakfast; my wife got the kielbasa breakfast and we got a breakfast burrito. Super good. Will return, 5/5

This place was freaking great. The had some beer, but mostly the food and service was out of this world in a good way. We wanted some brunch and found this cool spot. The staff was extremely nice and the food was pretty nice too. We sat in the patio type area outside. I has that New Mexico Omelet... not too bad, pretty good. Wish that bird didn't take my flip flop to the roof. Ok Bye

This is a very nice breakfast restaurant here in Oceanside. I ordered the farmers scrambled, which was very good. Also had biscuits and gravy and they were excellent. The biscuits were fluffy and quite tasty. Our food was very good. Our waitress did a superb job of keeping our coffee full and tending to all of our requests. This restaurant can certainly be recommended for a fine breakfast.

We came here due to the good reviews..I had the breakfast sandwich. It was made very well. And the service was good as well. My wife had to have her meal remade because she found something foreign in her eggs. But they fixed it and made it right. So we did like that they treat customers good. We do recommend and would be back if we lived in the area.

PCH diner destination! Everything is scratch made, and I was told the owner sources all of the product they use. The food definitely tastes like some attention was given to it. My chicken was cooked and seasoned perfect, the waffles were great! Drove down to Oceanside thinking about the harbor for breakfast. It was too crowded, an event going on. Ended up cruising down PCH, found this place, turned around, walked in, and walked out happy. Will more than likely be back when I'm in the area again.

It was a nice brunch spot to go to on Father's Day. When I arrived, I waited at the podium for a while, the workers saw me and made eye contact, and didn't even say hello. An older Hispanic man made eye contact stood at the doorway and looked into the dining area for a minute, then finally asked if I had been helped. However after asking me, he handed off the responsibility to an older Caucasian man. I found this weird... But oh well. We waited a bit because we had a party of 9. Their systems are very old school. I don't believe anything was digital because right after me another party of 9 showed up. Their name was written down, but mine wasn't. The two older men were trying to set up a table of 9 but one was addressing my party to sit and the other was trying to seat the other party. Luckily I was seated first. The service for drinks was weird... Only 3 people in my party got something other than water and every time the waitress came back she kept asking who got what. We wanted to converse and share stories so to be interrupted multiple times for 3 drinks seemed a bit ridiculous. Other than that service was great! A young man was a waiter. He did a great job. Unfortunately at the end he seemed very busy so we couldn't personally hand him his cash tip. I hope he got it from the lady at the register. The food was good. Nothing incredible, but not bad. I got Iris Stuffed Hashbrowns and my husband got the Breakfast Burrito. The whole table shared the cinnamon roll. I won't list the other foods my party ate. I would have loved a cream cheese frosting for the cinnamon roll, but it was still good. Also the stuffed Hashbrowns had a lot of cheese and bacon. If you like those you'll love that dish. Towards the end of my dish it was too overpowering with bacon and cheese so I stopped eating it altogether. My hubby said his burrito was good. He liked the sausage and bacon in it. However the salsa on the side was bland to him. At the end I got a slice of Chocolate Banana Cream Pie to go. That was tasty. I liked it all. I did wish for more chocolate flavor, but not bad at all 👍🏻

Although I don’t usually have breakfast after church today, I was craving pancakes. I decided to try Start Fresh because I live in Oceanside and I drive by it all the time. I was seated very quickly and was quite surprised by the menu. Pretty big selection once I saw the menu, I decided against pancakes because I could go anywhere for those. I chose to get the Texas Style. This meal was biscuits topped with scrambled eggs and gravy your choice of sausage, links or bacon, I chose bacon. I also added Home style potatoes for two dollars. The food was decently priced and tasted really good. One gentleman was walking around greeting everyone after he greeted me. I let him know it was my first time and he sat down at my table and told me about the restaurant. He told me that everything is freshly made in the back and the owner only chooses quality ingredients and meats. You can definitely tell this because the biscuits taste homemade. There was one young man walking around picking up dishes off of the tables, and she was probably the one that was more attentive to me than anybody else. He made sure somebody took my order and when I was done with my meal, he made sure I was given my check Because other than him nobody else came to check up on me. I won’t knock them because of this because it was a pretty busy Sunday morning. I just think he needs to be commended on his great customer service and I made sure to tell the bosses best friend who set up my table this as I was leaving. I’d like to go back and try a salad and perhaps I will.

I am a big foodie and love trying new places. I stopped in because I have passed this place a couple of times.From the moment I walked in I was turned off because it smelled like strong cleaning chemicals and NOT FOOD. I usually won't eat anywhere that doesn't smell like they cooking up something good. I sat down and started looking at the menu and noticed right away the prices are a little expensive for this type of food. It's not like it's a special menu. Basic Bacon, eggs and a biscuit is not worth $20. I used the restroom and a rude Mexican man came banging on the bathroom door saying hurry up they were gonna close the kitchen. I told him I was still looking because I was trying to find something on the menu that wasn't overpriced I would have at least bought something to drink ( I'm always thirsty) but the gentleman raised his voice and said " What do you think, this is a cafe not fast food. Go somewhere else.) So I was going to do just that. As I left he was snatching things around and he turned to me already halfway out the door and said. "This is California!" I wouldn't go to Mexico and sale overpriced Rice and beans, Then get upset because a local mentioned the price was steep. There are places around that have more bang for your buck and as soon as you exit your car you can smell the delicious food. For me this is a Hard pass.
