    My dad couldn't believe these were the breakfast specials  huge portions for the price
    Jessica M.

    Heck yeahh!!! A lot of places over charge for breakfast not this place. Very wallet friendly. I treated my dad to breakfast and he's someone who orders EVERYTHING. We couldn't believe the price it was a great value. I can't wait to try their other foods especially the dinner specials! I saw some of their meals came with a drink for under $20 I'll support this place as much as possible ! It was cool to enjoy the beautiful view watching the hawks btw. Come on up y'all !

    My cat Chita.

    It was a great place for catfish dinners. I wonder if they still do that. Fun place, to relax and enjoy.

    Carne Asada dinner plate

    This is a very nice casual restaurant The employees are very nice, helpful and respectful. The food is delicious and the restaurant itself is very clean and Homie. I highly recommend checking the daily specials and the dinner specials unbelievable deals

    Once again my wife and I stopped by and the food was delicious. Great view of the lake.

    Chili Verda burrito and chilaquiles with carne asada

    Really good local Mexican place with other things since it's Tex Mex! Great service and friendly staff! We'll be coming back.

    View from the area, super bloom!

    The menu is extensive. I mostly have breakfast there. The portions are large. The prices are very reasonable.

    My husband and I visited the San Diego Safari Park for "February Free Seniors Month". We noticed…read moreseveral park eateries were closed for lunch; and the ones open mainly served hot dogs and hamburgers (not what we wanted). So we checked Yelp for the next best thing nearby and found the "Sunny Side Kitchen". I'm not a vegetarian, but my Vegan Panini (with a pickle slice and fresh fruit cup on the side) was wonderful. That freshly baked sourdough bread sandwich was so juicy some avocado squirted out of an air hole in the bread onto my shirt. Luckily water was nearby to quickly wipe away any future stain. Recommendation: Wear a napkin on your shirt. ; ) p.s. It wasn't crowded for a Tuesday lunch; and owner Kate added great conversation and promoted neighboring "Esco Gelatto" as a good place for dessert, but we were too full. We'll save room next time.

    I really wanted to like it. Hubby and I have been wanting to try it for years and finally visited…read morefor breakfast. We split the spam, egg, avocado panini and the strawberry parfait. The cheese that was grilled into the bread was overpowering all the other flavors. The spam slice was so thin, we could barely taste it. My husband had two bites of his half and couldn't eat anymore. The parfait was good but nothing special. Pretty small but they managed to fit about 6 tables inside. Tables are also available in front as well as in the back. Parking is also available in front and rear. Service was friendly and prompt. Price is a bit steep for what you get. One sandwich and one parfait was around $35. Not sure if I would return.

Today, we ordered the classic lunch combo burger with fries-delicious and does not taste like freezer burn!!! There is a choice of not just beef, but also impossible, gluten free, and grass fed meats. All burgers are cooked to medium unless you specify otherwise. Easy to order-just go to the counter and order, pick a seat and wait for your meal. The interior dining area has plenty of seating and restrooms in the back. The outdoor patio looks nice enough for when it's a nice cool night, it is covered as well. Anyway, we'll be back since the menu looks super inviting because there are other choices besides burgers and the best thing is that they use a lot of local, fresh ingredients! Support your local eateries!

They have a good selection of beer, milkshakes, and drinks. You order at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. It's hard to find a burger place with all my favorites: an egg, bacon, and avocado. The bacon was crispy, the egg was medium and wasn't too runny, and the brioche bread was a little sweet and fluffy. They use angus beef for their patties. You can also split your fries which I love! I got to try the onion rings and sweet potato fries. I wish the sweet potato fries were crispy. They were more on the soggy side. The onion rings batter was a lil thicker than I like. The batter overpowered the onion. We also got the Cajun wings to try which was nice and crispy! They give you a few sauces on the side so you can dip it. I got the ranch which was so good with the wings, fries and burger. The milkshakes are pretty delicious! We got the classic vanilla one. It was a pretty thick shake so you know they use legit ice cream! I also liked the peach lemonade. I would check this place out if you're in the area!

    I was happy to revisit this gem on Grand Ave. I walked in with a buddy, and we were quickly greeted…read moreat the front by the friendly cashier. The location has a pretty extensive menu written in chalk on the walk, and it's easy to read. There are choices of sandwiches, salads and a lot of great food in-between. After taking a minute to decide we went with the Southwest Chicken Salad ($16.99) as well as the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich ($15.99) with a side of hushpuppies. The sauce on the salad was flavorful with just a bit of zest, and they gave us extra so that was really cool. It's a really comfy place to eat with a little bit of a Louisiana feel to it. For good food served by good people, this is the place!

Neither anything spectacular but also not bad. Just a tuna melt. But the service and atmosphere made up for it so I give the place four stars. I like the people that work there and they have art made by locals for sale on the wall. This place has been around for over ten years. Upper East is the new kid on the gentrified block, so expect to pay more for worse service even if the food is better quality. Pick your poison. If you just need a standard tuna melt and wanna save a few bucks, H Brothers. If you're balling in today's economy and got it like that, Upper East. My girlfriend really liked her chicken tzatziki wrap and my onion rings.
