Surprise! We ordered Machaca, flour tortillas, Huevos Rancheros, corn tortillas. We enjoyed the meals, and will be back again. The Machaca and beans were equally large portions and the large flour tortilla was piping hot! The Huevos rancheros were cooked nicely and served with beans, a perfect breakfast treat! (Corn tortillas were not hot, but still used one to scoop up a few bites). Coffee was good!! The service, Maricela, was excellent, attentive and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the interior design and the coziness of the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was spotless![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was our first time, with more to come. See ya soon!!

...nothing says good morning like a plate that requires a nap immediately after. cully's has been in poway a looong time and is under new ownership - definition of a local classic. If you're looking for no-frills, "home-style" comfort, this is the spot. I went straight for the country fried steak - perfectly golden, smothered in black pepper gravy, and paired with the crispiest hash browns. peep my dad's pancakes in the back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]classic diner feels, super friendly service, and large portions as advertised.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My sister and I decided to go out for brunch and found this family owned restaurant off of Poway Road in a little strip mall. It has been in operation in Poway for 53 years and is under new management and has recently had an interior refresh. When we entered the restaurant, we were quickly acknowledged and told we could sit anywhere we wanted. We chose a table for two and were brought drinks immediately. Service was great and our waitress assisted us with placing our order and answering any questions we had. All dishes here are cooked to order . I chose the Poway Omelette with a side of hash browns and sourdough toast. The omelette consisted of cottage cheese, diced tomatoes and avocado. It was a light dish and exactly what I was craving. The hash browns were crispy and cooked perfectly and the sourdough toast was great as well My sister ordered a Mushroom Burger with Swiss Cheese and a side of fries. The burger was amply sized and consisted of mushrooms, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles. She ordered the patty medium rare and it too was cooked perfectly. Her fries looked so good, I had to try them myself. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were able to enjoy our meal in a peaceful and quiet atmosphere and didn't have to worry about a loud dining experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We never felt rushed and we were able to relax and enjoy our food, drinks and conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were there at 11:45 am and could have possibly missed the breakfast crowd All in all, we appreciated this family owned business and I intend to return soon to support them. Thanks again to the folks at Cully's for great food and service. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Love this family style diner right in the heart of Poway.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] GF and I like to share meals and the portions offered are very good. We have been in for breakfast and lunch and have never been disappointed. The staff is great and the food is very good. Love all of the omelet dishes. We get ours with the O'Brien potatoes and scrambled eggs. We prefer the pancake over toast and it is huge! We have tried the cheeseburger for lunch and it comes with French fries which are very tasty. We plan on coming back real soon! read more

Nice place for a good breakfast. Service was great. Will be back again. We're from out of California, but come to visit family.

A straight-forward, family-style breakfast diner with good food at reasonable prices. Mario recommends his salsa. Try it. He's not wrong.

The friendly staff welcomed us as soon as we walked in. The food was delicious! I ordered a strawberry salad with grilled chicken. It came beautifully arranged on the plate! My friend ordered a veggie omelet. She said it was really good. We will de definitely return. They close at 2 and serve breakfast, lunch and dinners. They are located on Pomerado Rd in the same shopping center as O'Reilly auto parts. read more

Cully's Restaurant - Strawberry salad with grilled chicken. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Poway, California

Love this spot in Poway, being come here for years! Sometimes I come here just to order some hash browns to go because they taste so good! Biscuits and gravy are my fav but also the chorizo is great. Make this your next breakfast or brunch spot :) read more

our server, Vianey, and food were amazing! would give 6 stars if possible. Highly recommended!

What a delightful place starting with nice people with good values. Fair prices, adequate portions, properly prepared (simple breakfast...) The hash browns were done to a perfect crisp...the homemade salsa outstandingly creamy. Why were there not more people in here? (People in Poway work, that's why! It's a lovely Thursday morning...) read more

Just to be clear. I did not request white bread. I'm talking about the bread simply being toasted instead of grilled. On another note, I have ordered since the Patty Melt screw up and what I ordered was very good. You must have a better cook. read more

Customer service was the absolute best, they were so nice about everything. I got a coke and it was lacking flavor and they took care of it so nicely. They got me a fresh new flavorful coke. The food was also great. read more

The owner, Vianey took my order,,, soft scrambled eggs, rye toast, and pork chop medium, and could I have the hashbrowns crispy on top AND bottom? Picky was I, but everything was kind of a test... The dish was exactly as I requested. And with that, I was won over, and will revisit many times in the future! *And for once this restaurant serves "mild" salsa! YUMMMMM! read more

It's been years since we went here for breakfast. I wanted hash browns so I ordered chicken fried steak which comes with 2 eggs and hash browns. Hubby ordered the $10.00 senior breakfast. He said the sausage was spicy, pancake, scrambled egg and free coffee was ok. I didn't like the chicken fried steak which was soggy and no flavor, so I only ate half, eggs was ok and hash brown was normal but the hot chocolate was nasty. Too milky and barely taste the chocolate. I told the waitress I would rather have OJ. I almost gag and left it alone. Hubby said he will not come back again. I usually get excited for good food. read more

This restaurant is under a new ownership and has been remodeled inside. Good home style breakfast and there's some Mexican options too. We ordered Eggs Benedict, a stack of pancakes and a Machaca scramble. I ordered my Machaca scramble with crispy hash browns and tortilla. They also offered me some fresh salsa. It was very delicious and I especially enjoyed my crispy hash browns. (Too bad the flour tortilla tasted like the ones you buy from the grocery store.) Service was friendly, portions were good, and prices were comparable. If you're looking for a breakfast spot please support local businesses and give this place a try! read more

Hidden poway gem! Had the chorizo and eggs! Service is great and coffee! For sure will be back read more

I am a foodie and a regular patron of restaurants in the Poway area. I tried this restaurant years ago and was so disappointed in the housekeeping, food and service that I had not dined there in years. Recently a friend alerted me to the fact that it was under new ownership and had been remodeled! He had tried the new place and recommended it for a do-over. I have tried the restaurant twice now and really enjoyed the experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The remodel really made a welcome change to the ambiance of the place but also lends itself to easy cleaning and maintenance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As for food, the menu is quite extensive I have tried an omelet with home fries and a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and french fries. Both choices were good and prices were in line with other places. Service was good and orders came out in a reasonable time. Had an opportunity to meet and chat with Mario the owner and he is very focused on providing a quality restaurant for the breakfast and lunch business in Poway and I would suggest you check it out! I will be going back!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Had such a lovely lunch at Cully's with a group of ladies from my TOPS club.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were celebrating the club's anniversray and they just treated us so well! Everyone had great food - Senior breakfast was very generous, french toast looked amazing, there was a beautiful strawberry salad with avocado and so many delicious veggies, feta and candied walnuts. The owners were so gracious, our server was very attentive, even handling multiple separate checks with kindness and courtesy. You should definitely try it! read more

I liked the food but I didn't like the vibe. Country music playing in the background with the owner tapping on the table to the beat (at least I think it was the owner or maybe a regular customer that feels comfortable in the restaurant. They also had the news playing the whole time on big screen TV. It was on mute but still pretty distracting. The service was good. They had good eggs Benedict and nice crunchy hash browns. The pancakes are huge and pretty good. I don't think I'd come back here though. Too many other nice places to check out. read more
