Good food!!! Went with my family on a Thursday and was welcomed warmly. Servings were big and food was very delicious. Mark entertained my father and my family:) Would definitely come back with or without my family read more

My go to breakfast spot in Poway. Great service and even better food. My fav is the Kielbasa and eggs, with wheat toast and O'Brien potatoes (to die for). Pancakes are huge and fluffy. Like this restaurant a lot! read more

The Corn beef hash does not disappoint at Cully's. The service is quick and you'll get a cup of coffee as soon as you sit down. Looking forward to trying other options. read more

Cully's is consistently wonderful. Every time we are in Poway, we stop in for another great meal!

We enjoyed the hearty, simple breakfast we got from Cully's. This definitely feels like a place that locals would frequent. The restaurant was almost completely full, which I took as a good sign. The food is no-frills but handled well. I got the short stack breakfast, which was pancakes, eggs, and bacon. They are more than happy to make a Mickey Mouse pancake for kids, complete with a whipped cream smiley face. The decor is a painfully dated 70's country-western theme, but I found it somewhat charming. A man who I assume was the owner (or manager) came by our table more than once to ensure that we were happy with everything and was quite friendly. I would definitely come back here again for breakfast. read more

I've been coming here for over 15 years, before Yelp. Cullys is a Poway hidden gem. Tucked into a strip mall and a car wash the locals know this place is the reAl deal. My favorite is breakfast, today I had my usual, two eggs over medium , bacon, hash browns, coffee. Happy to report my order was efficiently taken, food came out fast and coffee hot. Here's the best part, the owner having not seen me in two years remembers my name and shakes my hand. Old school, friendly place to eat. read more

Cully's Restaurant - Classic eggs, bacon, hash browns toast and coffee. Great job guys! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Poway, California

Came here on the way up to Julian for brunch not knowing what to expect. This place is tucked away in an old strip mall. The inside is pretty old as well. Our hostess was pretty funny. He could've been my grandpa and was trying to make my friend and I laugh. If you don't have a sense of humor, I could see how he could be offensive to some. We were seated within 5 minutes. My friend and I ordered the Denver omelette and a stack of pancakes to share. Holy moley the portions are huge! My favorite part about the omelette were the huge chunks of ham. I was honestly scared the ham was going to be slim and lame, but this place proved me wrong! The omelette was made kind of funky - I don't think the filling was encased in the eggs, rather the eggs were on top of the filling. Who cares, it tastes great! We also got the O'Brien potatoes as our side. I highly recommend those. The pancakes were a little gummy but fine to eat. Just regular syrup at the table. Great family place for breakfast and lunch. Portions were huge and our bill was cheap, just how I like it. Service was quick and prompt. read more

Old school diner seems like it's been around 40 years. The usual breakfast options. Was good but would not go out of my way to dine here

Old Diner that serves big portions with little fan fare. I've eaten here twice, both for lunch. First time I tried the meatloaf, which came with a choice of potatoes - i got fries, soup - homemade clam chowder, and a side of green beans. The meatloaf was moist and delicious, however the gravy sauce tasted like it was from a can. The clam chowder was light on the clam and cream, so it tasted more like potato soup. The green beans were from a can. Total was 10 bucks with tip. Second time I came here I had the liver and onions. The liver was actually quite tasty and huge! It came with choice of potato, soup, veggie, and biscuit. Soup was a bean soup which was nothing too extraordinary. Biscuit was fluffy and warm, but again the green beans were from a can. Total came to be 10 bucks with tip also. Overall this place is a bit old school and a bit unremarkable considering they've been in the area for such a long time. If they skipped on the canned food items and stuck with fresh, i'll come here more than once a month. Otherwise.. ehhh.. read more

5 stars for dine-in great service and food. will be coming back again highly recommend in the heart of poway read more

I've worked in Poway for years and never knew this place existed. It fades into the background in a strip mall but it's there. A breakfast and lunch place, but you can get breakfast for lunch. Traditional diner food with omelettes, pancakes, eggs, corned beef hash, that sort of thing. I had a tuna melt that was good sized for a decent price. Solid run of the mill place for some all American fare. read more

Cully's Restaurant - Tuna melt and hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Poway, California

Just one more five star review to add to the long list of five star reviews. You won't be disappointed ---- 5* outstanding service, great quality food, easy parking and a continuous reputation for a hometown, family owned breakfast and lunch "Poway hidden gem"!!! read more

These are *the best* fluffy pancakes and country potatoes around!!! PERIOD!!! Their omelette a are perfectly plump, the veggies are fresh... and did I mention the pancakes?? I'm not even kidding. I've also hears their burgers are juicy and yummy! The wallpaper is super old school and might not be to everyone's liking, but it doesn't really matter because you're going there for the food, right? Guys... the pancakes. read more

Wow What a great little hole in the wall for breakfast. Hidden away in a little strip mall this small hangout for Poway locals serves up some great plates of food. Open only for breakfast and lunch its a great place to grab a bite after getting your car washed next door at Body Beautiful car wash. The Machaca Plate is very good with home made potatoes w/onions and bell peppers. The home made salsa is outstanding but a bit spice for some. (I Like It Hot) . The Biscuits & Gravy are big fluffy home made biscuits and sausage gravy. The gravy could use a little more salt and pepper but good just the same. Their breakfast sausage is very flavorful and not your typical sausage. You better bring a big appetite though because they give you a huge plate load of food with each order. (We brought half home) The service was good. The place could use a bit of updating but so that's why only three stars. If you want that hometown feel and hometown food this is the place for you. Enjoy. read more

Recently had a spontaneous breakfast here. Food was average tasting, good sized portions but no seasonings what so ever. Also, no a/c or ceiling fans but good service. Not sure if I'd return. read more

Cully's Restaurant - Veggie omlet with home fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Poway, California

Not true. I went there on Sunday for takeout and the place was PACKED. Every table occupied in this tiny place. Too bad.

My family of four come here every so often when we're too lazy to cook or don't want fast food breakfast. Cully's has friendly service. But more importantly the food is always tasty! Good sized potions. They aren't stingy on ingredients either. Cully's is certainly our go to place in Poway for breakfast! read more

Nice atmosphere, the owner is always there to greet everyone and it's nice to know that he remembers our family and he always has awesome conversations with my family members. They also have reasonable prices read more

My friend and I were looking for a good old fashion diner. Super simple diner decor. I was not expecting the biscuits and gravy to taste just like Moms. Also, we were offered house-made salsa. Delicious! Highly recommend if you are looking for a family, friendly diner with good old-fashioned food. read more

It's considered one of the best breakfasts in Poway. I thought it was 'okay'. I had the huevos rancheros which were pretty good - but not better than I could find in most strip-mall Mexican fast-food restaurants. My wife had an omlette that I thought was mediocre. My daughter had oatmeal which was awful. I've seen soups with less water. It's absolutely impossible to screw up oatmeal. But they achieved the impossible. I eat oatmeal and multi-grain cereal several times a week and I usually make it in a microwave. Cully's oatmeal was so watery that my daughter didn't eat it and I brought it home in a cup (we hate to waste food). Before reheating it, I had to pour off about 1/2 the contents which was grey water. Even then I had to add oats to make it look like -- uh oatmeal. The coffee was the probably the worst I've had in years that wasn't (or maybe it was) - instant. I drank a lot of it anyway. I know this place is popular but I don't think I'll be back. I rank their breakfast behind Franco's Flapjacks and The Hamburger Factory. read more

Pancakes were raw inside, with runny batter. The English muffin under the eggs Benedict was not toasted and was a little cold like it had been in the fridge. Potatoes were not browned, onions and peppers were raw. read more

Cully's is a breakfast/lunch spot favorite of mine. The food style is similar to what you'd expect at a greasy spoon or old-school diner. Portion sizes of the comfort fare generous so you will always leave with a full stomach. The staff is friendly and the dated decor adds a welcome level of familiarity. I dont recall whether they are still CASH ONLY so better stop at the bank ATM on your way here just in case. read more

This was my first visit but it was better than expected. It is family owned as I wanted. All people were friendly. Food portion ok great and tasted great. They could have more combos or deal of the day. read more

I had lunch today in this restaurant. I was in this place before and I knew the food is not bad but service is not terrific, but today my expirience was terrible. I found a hair in my omlett, I called a waiter and show her the hair in my plate. She offered me another omlett. I refused because I already ate half of it and was full. I think, I can have some discount for bad food, and I asked an owner about this. He accused me saying I always do the same trick and it can be my hair and they are shaved and do not have hair problem. It was so rude, whole my day was ruined. Do not go to this restaurant if do not want to have an omlett with hair and then have a slap in the face when you try to complain and ask about satisfaction. By the way nobody is wearing mask in this restaurant and tables are very close to each other. I do not think it is a safe place. read more

Cully's is very similar to the family style diners I ate at on the east coast. Huge portions, great price, quick service, charming and homey atmosphere. I feel like I'm at my ex-Amish mother-in-law's house whenever I come here. Love this place so much! read more

I came here for breakfast with my boyfriend on a weekday. We were greeted by the host/waitress and she was very friendly. We noticed that everyone that was there knew each other. Which we thought was great. I ordered the chili and cheese omelette with hash browns and my bf ordered the chorizo and egg with O'Brien potatoes. It was all so delicious and not pricey at all. We can see why it has so many regulars. I definitely recommend this place and I will be going back ! read more

Cully's Restaurant - Chili and cheese omelette ..yummmmyyyyyy!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Poway, California

What a hidden gem! Loves the food - great variety and we were greeted by the owner. What a treat! Definitely going back

We used to come here all the time and it was amazing, great quality food. . .was just there recently and the staff was not welcoming and warm as soon as you walk in which was part of the reason I loved this place, the owner who used to talk to you and welcome you in was so sweet. The food isn't the same either I don't know it's like even different sausage than it used to be. . . read more

Friendly staff, but poor breakfast omelet quality. My veggies were hard and onion still had skin on it, and there was no seasoning at all. Unfortunately this happens all the time with veggies, but the whole thing came out with cheese stuck to the plate and veggies and eggs laid over it. Bummer! read more

Perfect breakfast spot in town. Good portions and reasonable pricing. I usually get the French Toast meal with bacon and eggs. I substitute the bacon for the sausage patties instead. The sausage patty is the size of a burger patty! The server is a young lady who is very friendly and does a good job. We come every Sunday. read more

You do get what you pay for. Corn beef hash is definitely from a can. The potato hash could have been more crispy. My kids normally eat pancakes and sausage but they didn't like it. Yikes. The biscuit and gravy were really salty and didn't see pieces of sausage which is usually in that type of dishes unless they were really crumpled in. I would rather go to original pancake house. read more

This is our solid go-to for family style all american breakfast. You would never expect the grandma's living/dining room type eatery in this plaza and hidden away behind the shaded doors. It's in a nondescript shopping plaza with other small and older businesses. You walk in and it's like taking a time machine back to the 70s?.. with the farm house kitchen decor, old wooden table and chairs.. and large farmer sized helpings of pancakes with syrup, eggs, bacon, and every time else in between. The prices are low and the servings are generous.. most important the eggs aren't overcooked and the pancakes are always fluffy. The few times we have gone.. there's a kind old grandpa sitting in the back.. reading his paper and having his morning coffee.. We love the ambiance and the decor and the food. Our boys never complain with the eats they can find here.. We love coming here to start our weekend. Definitely support them and give them a go for breakfast! read more

Slow disinterested service, cold food. We were seated quickly, and served coffee. Then things went south. The server was brusque and rarely available. My husband ordered the Mexican machido plate. Was supposed to be accompanied by tortillas. He was almost done with his meal when we finally saw the server and requested them. She slapped them on the table without a word. My biscuits and gravy were cold. As much as we want to support local businesses, we won't be back to this place! read more

Food was mediocre. Service was horrible, the waitress was not attentive whatsoever. She brought me my food and then never came back. Waited 30 minutes for my breakfast. I would not go back. read more

TERRIBLE! I'm all about supporting mom and pop businesses. My dad has come to town over the years and liked this spot and I've never been a fan. The other day my husband wanted to go so I gave in. I know they pride themselves on the "home cooked" feel. Well it was just plain terrible. I would of rather had Denny's or IHOP then this horribly undercooked meal. This was the worst breakfast I've ever had! Tasteless crap! The potatoes were damn near raw The veggies were raw and just hot raw veggies The " omelette" was a fried egg on top of raw veggies and a slice of kraft cheese. Not stuffed with veggies and cheese a freaking fried egg placed on top. I didn't finish it and honestly would of asked for my money back but I didn't want to cause a scene it was too early for that shit. Save your money I'm sorry to say but this place SUCKS. Third time is MY LAST TIME! You will not take a single dollar from me anymore. read more

Cully's Restaurant - Not good at all :( - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Poway, California

Thanks stranger for ease dropping on our disappointment when we heard one of the waitress from Original Pancake House advise us that it would be a 45min to an hour wait. So the stranger left and told us that he was heading to Cully's in Poway. From there we decided we will follow them and thank goodness we did. So close to home this little treasure of a place tucked away in Poway was a golden treat. A small family owned hole in the wall breakfast joint. They served breakfast all day and it feels like you're at home. No more do we have to wait in a crazy line Cully's is our place to go for some yummy fluffy pancakes and all the heaven's morning glory. Thanks to the stranger we now will be part of the family. Great warm welcoming service Constant Coffee Refill Yummy wake up food read more

We moved in the area 1.5 years ago and finally tried this place. We were looking for a place that has that home-y feel and this is exactly what it has! The staff are all very friendly and the service his quick. We didn't have to wait but noticed that they turn tables around fast to make sure guests get seated as soon as possible. My husband ordered the Eggs Florentine with home potatoes. It was tasty and very filling! I ordered the French toast with bacon and scrambled eggs. It was pretty delicious. The bacon was soooo good.. They were not too thin and not too thick. they were cooked perfectly! Bring cash if you do not want to pay the ~$0.35 charge to use your debit/credit card. Luckily I had cash today ;) We definitely will be back! read more

This place is cute... very out dated decor, but its a mom and pop shop... so You can't really expect much in decor. The place was packed so I knew that was a good sign. As a friend and I were waiting for our water we were watching the food come out and how BIG the portions were!! The food wasn't memorable, but i t wasn't horrible. I know that I enjoyed my meal except my biscuits and gravy.... The gravy was super bland but the biscuit was nice and fluffy!! Maybe if I had sausage with it they would have been better! I would go here only if I was in the area... I Yelp'ed breakfast when I was in the area and this was the closes restaurant in our location. read more
