Reliably good diner food, always fast service. They're great about a refill to go and patio seating even if you're the only one. I particularly love that I can always get good soup there any day of the week and breakfast has fabulous options - including good crispy bacon. They always get orders right and are friendly too--enjoy going there! (Their split pea and beef barley soups are particularly top notch plus the club sandwiches!) read more

First time eating here and it was phenomenal, i don't believe I've had a better breakfast anywhere else, chili cheese omelette with a side biscuit with gravy, pancakes and potatoes O'Brien. Chef and waitress were fun and nice, very attentive to refills and checking in while also having fun and enjoying what they were doing. Very cute diner with booths and chairs lined along the bar top, couldn't recommend this place enough. read more

Great place for breakfast. Friendly, fast and delicious. Better than typical "diner food" and large portions too. read more

Decades ago my hubby and I would stop in here occasionally. One time I went by myself, and ordered a small fruit bowl after my meal. What showed up was a bowl of canned pineapple chunks. When I spoke to one of the two young ladies, she gave me a look like she was put off. They weren't high school teenagers, either. When I asked to see the owner - who had always been very cordial - she said 'there are no strawberries'. It was mid-summer here in San Diego County, I knew better. I paid for my lunch (I did not touch the fruit) and after watching them both stand there talking about me, never went back. After my unhappy experience, I drove to the grocery store and bought two cartons of the delicious berries, and a container of juicy watermelon - also absent from Fallbrook Cafe's fruit bowl. Nanette Oh, I almost forgot! Before the rude treatment, I watched the owner answer a knock on the side door, and pay a young fellow in cash. I recognized him as the dishwasher..... read more

Yesterday, My wife and I visited for a late lunch. We hadn't been there for quite a while. She had breakfast and I had a patty melt. The food was absolutely "top flight", "old school" wonderful. The short order cook running the kitchen is an absolute pro! The other staff are lovely as well. So glad we made it back here! A real, local treasure! read more

Delicious! Absolutely delicious, had pork chop dinner tonight as you can see from the photo that is for $19.99 + plus you get a dinner salad, a roll and a small scoop of ice cream! Unbelievable. The service was very good. Nati was our server did a great job, it was a diner that you remember going to with your grandparents family-owned diner fee. The ambience showed that completely brought back some great memories. read more

Stopped here in between meetings, the cafe looks like an old school diner. Seating was quick, I was able to choose where I sat and service was impeccable, they were all very friendly. I ordered the mushroom omelette with crispy hash-browns. The only thing I could've done without was the Swiss cheese. I thought it would be mixed into the omelette instead of slices on top and it didn't melt as nicely. read more

We drove out to Fallbrook to go to one of our favorite restaurants and were disappointed when we found it closed. So we tried Fallbrook Cafe. We were hesitant seeing the parking lot was close to empty. I mean how good can it be with an empty parking lot. Definitely a diner atmosphere with a wide variety to choose from. I had the hobo omelette and my wife had a grilled chicken mozzarella and mushroom sandwich. Bread grilled with parmigian. We recommend both. Ample portions at fair prices. Service was very good and attentive. Diner had character, not too much on the glitz but definitely worth checking out. read more

Had an awesome experience at Fallbrook Cafe today. I ordered a BLT and the bacon was cooked perfect--crispy and full of flavor. The whole place feels very welcoming, from the atmosphere to the service. The two waitresses up front were amazing--super friendly, quick, and really took care of us the whole time. Food came out hot and fresh. Definitely coming back! read more

Wasn't sure what to expect when we rolled up but the food was excellent! The BLT (A) had plenty of super crispy bacon and was toasted just right. The onions rings were PERFECT! The burger was very tasty and the fries were so good too! Will definitely go back if we're ever in the area. read more

Fallbrook Cafe - BLT (A) with onions rings and a burger with avocado and fries. SOOOO GOOD! - Cafes Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Typical American Diner. Good food, generous servings, friendly, cheerful service, average prices, excellent menu selection. What's not to like? Gets very busy on Sundays after church, and you will have to wait for seating. At other times, it's pretty quick to get seated. No real ambiance to speak of, but we always go there with friends and create our own read more

The Fallbrook Cafe is wonderful. The servers are polite and happy to everyone. The food is soooo good! Tasty. I would definitely come back. The biscuits and gravy were spot on. The breakfast sausage and potatoes were out of this world. read more

The food, and the ambiance weren't great. I had ithe potatoes o Brian. They weren't warmed all the way from the prep so they were cold and gritty. The medium eggs were over easy not the biggest deal. The thing I'm actually here to discuss is the horrendous service I recieved upon my first visit. I politely requested the tables near the end because I was waiting for an important phone call. I am aware that it's annoying, I'm annoyed by it as well. I assured the manager (very short, salt/pepper hair, petite stature) that I apologize and it was in fact important. Without uttering a word, she points to the last table and she said, "in the corner! It's like nails on a chalkboard to me!" Wow she didn't know that I was helping my best friend an her mothers funeral...she just erupted with ugliness and hate toppled with personal opinions that nobody asked or cared to hear. You're here to do your job. Keep your angry, hateful personal opinions to your angry self. The server was a sweet young lady with long brownish black hair..very sweet, no reflection on the poor management. Unfortunately thos will never be a place I recommend , bring my friends and family, or return to. read more

Stopped in here for lunch when just getting into town and had a good meal. It's your basic, no frills diner. I had a two egg breakfast with a ham steak, which was really good. Normally, it's pretty hard to mess up breakfast, but the ham steak was really good - nice grilled flavor. My wife just had a grilled cheese. Obviously, not gourmet dining, but again, it's a cafe. We were both happy with our orders. We stopped in at 2:30, so it wasn't busy at all. Regardless, our server was very attentive and very friendly. Great place to stop for a good meal. read more

We came to Fallbrook for a wedding, we researched Yelp for a decent place to have breakfast. I read the bad reviews and was hesitant to eat at Fallbrook Cafe. I'm glad that my family and I ate at the café. The staff were friendly, service was good, and food was delicious. read more

This restaurant is clean, service is fast and the food is good. There's plenty of parking available. My only suggestion would be to change the menu and offer other dishes rather than the same items on the menu for the last 20 years. read more

stopped by to get a bite since I always pass here in my route, it gave me this vintage feeling so I went to check it out ordered a small coffee & a slice of cheesecake since I was in a rush & couldn't get a meal but the prices are ridiculous I payed $15 dollars just for a small coffee & a slice of cheesecake that tasted days old! I imagine how much a meal cost here but that so wrong I repeat $15 for a small coffee & a slice of cheesecake that's insane not even worth it go somewhere else read more

The food is simple and delicious, service has always been amazing. Love the ambiance when Diane and Nathan are around.

The price increases are just ridiculous, most especially the drinks. The basic fountain drinks or iced tea is $5.00. Milk or orange juice is almost $7.00. For 2 or three people, this adds a minimum of $10-$20 to your bill, let alone the food cost. Two sandwiches and two iced teas for lunch was a bill of over $50.00. Went again and ate breakfast with 3 people and the bill was $79.00. Since you've already increased your food prices, adding an additional increase to the drinks feels like really gouging the customer. I would just order water and not pay for the over priced drink, but your water has a terrible taste so that's not an option. Do better for the community and people who support you and lower your drink prices. read more

Quick service and good food. Black berry ice cream comes in a big portion and was delicious. Had a great comfort meal!

Food is always good great service the lady always tell me your food will be ready in 10 minutes and it's always gummy and ready.

Awesome food and quick seating & service! We took the kids and they were amazing at providing what they had for coloring and sweet to help when one kid spilled a water everywhere. They were busy as we left since it was normal adult breakfast time by then so it must be popular. read more

They were ok until yesterday. A very loud obnoxious waitress never checked on us. I was allowed to substitute corn tortillas for french fries, but was given 1/2 a tortilla and was told that they were almost out. That was just the start. read more

Haven't been here for twenty years, but stopped for dinner last night. I ordered a French Dip Sandwich and my husband had the Meatloaf dinner which included a side salad, scoop of ice cream for dessert. We enjoyed our dinner, but pleasantly surprised how clean the restaurant was from spotless clean windows, clean tables, and wiped down each menu before giving to patrons. The floor shinned it was so clean. Will come back and try a different menu item. Give it a try! read more

Leaving or coming into Fallbrook, there's a little cafe, on East Mission, almost out of sight where the roads Y. please don't pass without trying out their breakfast or lunch menu. We were just hungry, so we stopped in. Great atmosphere if an old time diner. Lunch counter stools actually comfy, booths are perfect. Bacon perfectly cooked. The burger good, but French fries perfection. Prices reasonable. Lots of parking. We will be back to see what dinner is like. read more

This is a small diner, but I like the friendly service I get every time I visit. There's not a lot of seating available since it's usually packed, especially on weekends. The ambiance reminds me of a 50s diner, and the service is fairly quick. Their menu has plenty of options, and I love their healthy options like their Protein Omelet. Overall, this spot is great if you want a quick bite that won't hurt your wallet. read more

No fluff, just what happened today: my husband and I came to this place after a lady recommended it on Camp Pendleton. I am black, my husband is Latino. We walked in and the place was almost dead. A woman tells us to take a booth anywhere near the back--I quickly wonder why because I see 3 free booths right there, 2 of which are clean, but still we just head to the back. A server who seems to be working register comes the moment we sit down and asks "what can I get you to drink?" even though we have no menu, don't know what they have, and I just say "I'll take water for now" but changed it to lemonade once I knew they had it. About 5-10 mins later, my husband and I see this awesome pickup truck park in the space next to our car through the window. A young white couple gets out and comes in. The same lady that directed us to the back 10 minutes ago sits them right at the front with the few other customers that are there. The other lady quickly comes to their table and asks for their drinks; by now we've been ready to order for like 10 mins but not her, the lady who told us where to sit, or the other server just walking around came to ask us anything. The final straw... I saw the same server that was taking drink orders walk over to the young white couple and take their order even though we've been clearly ready, menus closed for almost 15 minutes by now and there for about 10 mins before this couple. Once I saw that, I put my drink down, told my husband "let's go" and we walked right past her and right outta the place--no I didn't pay for those damn lemonades. That's just what happened... don't wanna scream racism or homophobia, I'm just saying what happened with 0 fluff or exaggeration. read more

Stopped by before hitting the road back home with my family from a 2 night stay at Splitrock Mountain. I liked the outside appearance of a classic diner. I was pretty hungry myself. I ordered the 2 by 2 I believe it was called, 2 eggs 2 pancakes and sausage. I ordered a side of hash and a side of toast. It was delicious and hit the spot. Headed back home with a happy tummy. read more
