    Scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, and toast
    Amy C.

    Friday, 5-15-2026: I'm glad we came here with big appetites! We ordered the usual breakfast fare of scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, and toast. It was delicious and hearty. Much to our delight, it came out fast & hot! Our server was sweet & friendly. I'm so sorry I forgot her name but her customer service was unforgettable. She took great care of us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was a lot nicer than we expected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I felt at home because I was a jet engine mechanic in the Air Force but retired as an Aerospace Propulsion Superintendent of an aircraft maintenance squadron. I know the owner is a Navy veteran and I love supporting veteran owned businesses. We came away impressed now we need to bring the entire family!

    I said it once, I'll say it again, the best place in French valley to have great food, drinks, and service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment is always great and service is top tier.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] These sliders are amazing and as always followed by a Cadillac margarita

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good food and a down home atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's entertainment on Friday night and karaoke on Wednesdays.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friday night is prime rib night. The prime rib on Fridays is better than the local steak restaurants. Service is great as well. I'm looking forward to trying more on the menu in the future.

    Tried this place since it overlooked the airport. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very cute looking place but the food was very meh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their cowboy Benedict seemed interesting but it was just too greasy for me. The country gravy was also on the blander side. Service is kind of slow, which I understand given the busy brunch rush, but was not super personable either. I'd rather drive a bit farther to try other brunch places in Murrieta and Temecula. The best part is the value though - you get a lot for what you pay for!

    French Valley Café is such a solid spot. The food is always fresh and full of flavor, and the service never misses a beat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is chill, and one of the best parts is watching airplanes land while you eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of seating inside plus a nice patio if you want to enjoy the view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Portion sizes are generous, and the prices are fair for what you get. My favorite part of coming here is the manager who works the bar. Her energy is always so positive and welcoming, it sets the tone for the whole experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms are located outside the restaurant but still within the same building, so it's not a big deal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will I good back, heck yes!!!

    Finally got a chance to try this restaurant. My pulled pork entree was better than I had expected. I almost finished the dish except for a few pieces of potatoes left behind. Service was a little better than average. Ambiance was ok. I think this experience is considered a check-off-the-list-of-restaurants-I-wanted-to-try experience. It's really a 3.5 and rounding up to four stars.

    Travelaire sandwich (grilled chicken, Swiss cheese, bacon, and avocado on grilled sourdough) and a side of fries. Very yummy!

    French Valley Café is such a fun and unique brunch spot, especially if you're bringing kids along. The prices are pretty affordable -- a little cheaper than some other brunch spots -- and the portions are very generous. We ordered the kids meal for my grandkids, and it was basically an adult-sized plate. They got the pancakes with a sausage patty, and it came with about two full-size pancakes. Definitely more than expected for a kids meal and great value at under $5. I ordered the Travelaire sandwich, which includes grilled chicken, Swiss cheese, bacon, and avocado on grilled sourdough. This was very, very delicious. The portion was huge -- I was only able to eat half and saved the rest for dinner. It also came with a side of fries, which made it even more filling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One of the best parts was the view. Being able to watch the planes take off and land was such a nice touch, and my grandkids really enjoyed that. It definitely adds to the overall experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only downside was the wait. We waited about 30 minutes on a Sunday. That said, it was still worth it -- especially if you're taking kids. The food, portions, and unique atmosphere make this a spot we'd definitely come back to.

    I visited French Valley Cafe recently with my mom. It was difficult to spot from the outside- but for anyone looking for it- simply go into the airport main entrance right in front of the plane statue. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside I found the aviator decor to be throughout and was pleased to be seated in a booth with view of parked planes and would see a few arrive during my visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For dishes I chose from the lunch menu the deli sandwich combo with creamy chicken noodle soup. From the breakfast menu- My mother had the liberator- two poached eggs over canadian bacon and grilled english muffin topped with hollandaise sauce. As far as taste - its what you would expect from the dishes. Nothing remarkable - I have had better. And while my mom enjoyed hers- she ended up having a hair in her dish. I will give them credit in that they courteously remade the two muffins, eggs and all. But the appetite was lost and we boxed and took it home instead. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As far as returning- I would simply for the view and to bring the kiddos to watch the planes[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] .

I took my family of four for brunch, expecting their standard $20 per person rate. Instead, we were hit with a hidden price hike of nearly $40 per person. There was no clear signage about the holiday pricing, save for a single TV screen flashing ads too quickly to read. I saw the $20 advertisement on Facebook but am not on Instagram and that was the only place I found (two days later) the advertisement for the price for Father's Day. To make matters worse, the food quality was awful. Everything tasted like it had been sitting there for hours burning in the pans heated below by gas warmers. The biscuits were rock hard, the slider buns were completely dried out, and the bacon was burnt. The pancakes were stale and hard and the pasta/macaroni salad had been sitting out in an uncooled bowl with no lid. I couldn't even finish a plate because of the poor quality. Paying $160 for four people to eat a meal of this quality was completely unacceptable. I've had much better food McDonald's than this. Had the food quality at least matched the price, I likely never would have left this review. This ruined our family celebration, and although this was the first time we ever tried this place, we will not be returning to here again.

The stools were hard; we end up standing most of the time so our butts wouldn't hurt! The food was nasty, i had nachos, my friend had a cheeseburger, they didn't have pickles or tomatoes. Bummer. There was only 1 server who was doing the best she could. I don't think i will go back.

Even with it being busy, she had no problem splitting our bill. She was able to answer any questions we had about the fettuccine and even had some good add ons to the food like adding bacon to the burgers. She let us know that the fettuccine is spicy and explained the name meant spicy sauce. If you don't like spicy foods, I wouldn't go with that even though it was so good. Her letting us know that it's spicy saved my girlfriend from a bad night. With the addition to the good food, drinks, and service I believe the manager was even going around to make sure that we were okay. It was our first time here and we will absolutely be back.
