All the ladies working were very friendly. Our server, Tiffany, was amazing! Gave us wonderful recs and went above and beyond for us. Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS!

This wasn't just a fried chicken sandwich--it was a statement…read more You can taste the difference immediately. The chicken is insanely crisp on the outside, juicy and clean on the inside--not greasy, not heavy, just done right. The kind of crunch that actually means something. The slaw brings freshness and balance, the bun is soft but holds up, and every bite feels intentional. But what really sets this place apart is the sourcing. Everything is local. You're not eating some mass-produced, freezer-to-fryer shortcut--you're eating ingredients that came from nearby farms, raised and prepared with care. That shows up in the flavor, the texture, and honestly how you feel after. It hits that rare sweet spot: indulgent, but still clean. Even the fries--simple, crispy, not drowning in oil--feel like they belong next to it, not just an afterthought. This is what food should be. Real ingredients, done well, no corners cut. Comfort food that doesn't leave you wrecked. Local. Thoughtful. Straight up dialed.

Food was amazing. Atmosphere was great, music wasn't too loud but enough that it wasn't silent in there. Staff was friendly and attentive and they clearly know what their doing. Now the food, the FOOD. Best wings I've had in a very long time. So fresh and fall off the bone. I will be coming back for wing Wednesday! I ordered the steak frites and my son got the kids Mac n Cheese. Steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the Demi glaze was delicious. His Mac n cheese was a top contender. I was shocked. So flavorful and clearly homemade. Then we get to dessert. I almost screamed when I found out one of my absolute favorite places in PB directly supplies their dessert counter. Absolutely amazing. I hope this place continues to get the attention it deserves and I will be recommending it to people in town! Thank you ladies for an amazing meal and experience

Waiters were super nice and eager to help you in any way they could. We ordered the chicken fried steak, cinnamon rolls, steak salad, French toast, and pancakes. Everything tasted fresh and homemade.

In the city of Ramona and looking for American diner food that happens to be famous for being…read morefeatured on Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" aka Triple D? Then look no further than Ramona Cafe in Downtown Ramona and park in the back for free or on the street, and get ready to eat! I ordered a pepsi (soda has free refills), chicken fried steak with over easy eggs that came with a biscuit with butter, and the famous cinnamon roll for my complete lunch (breakfast is served all day). The chicken fried steak tasted more like a sausage patty than ground beef, but the server assured me that it was made of beef and that the gravy is made of pork sausage. I had hash browns (shredded potatoes) versus the home fries (diced potatoes) and topped it with ketchup and Tapatio. The biscuit was warm and soft, but the bread that was worth coming to this diner was the Cinnamon Roll, it had a burst of cinnamon in every bite, wish it had a bit more sugar and frosting, but it was delicious nonetheless. I took a photo next to the framed autograph poster of Guy Fieri and was happy to give this diner a try due to Ramona Cafe being featured on this popular show. So if you want American Diner style food in the city of Ramona, then make a pit stop at Ramona Cafe and order the cinnamon roll, and roll out of there!

I called first to make sure they have it in stock and they informed me a fresh batch was just delivered. While there, I checked out their selection of ice cream and picked up Alden's organic strawberry ice cream. Yumm! They carry broccoli seeds too which I bought although in a tiny jar 4oz plastic bottle - the first store I've found that carries seeds for sprouting! And lastly, a cool can of Poppi probiotic soda to quench my thirst on the drive back home. This is the kind of store a health-conscious, active guy like me would frequent if it was close to my neighborhood. Now, I know where to stop whenever I pass through Ramona. Before I forget, they also have a sandwich shop in the back. I would have ordered one but I already have lunch waiting at home.

[TL;DR: Served inedible food I did not eat, charged in full, zero attempt to make it right.]…read more I very rarely leave negative reviews and don't nitpick or blast places over small issues - and you can check my other reviews to verify that. I had heard great things about this place, which makes it even more disappointing. The only positive was the quaint country ambiance, including a nice old mural on the wall. Service was a bit slow, but it was a busy Sunday morning, so that's understandable and not part of my rating. The food, however, was inedible. I should note here that I came in quite hungry and with a specific hankering for a greasy chicken fried steak and eggs, so I was in a very easy to please state. I ordered the eggs "over medium," and the eggs came out with raw, runny whites and were also cold. The toast didn't arrive until 5-10 minutes later, so everything just sat there getting colder. The "steak" was mostly fat and gristle. The first couple of bites I ate were gristly but doable with help from the gravy - but the third bite was a giant glob of gristly fat that I couldn't even chew - i spit it out and that's all I ate. The hash browns tasted like frozen unseasoned potatoes with only a patch of sear on the outside while the bulk of it was mushy and pasty and gross. Of the whole meal I basically only ate my toast plus a bite or two of each thing on my plate. I left feeling sick to my stomach. After dropping off the food (and later the delayed toast), our server never checked back. No refills, no follow-up. When she finally returned, she asked to clear my very full, barely touched plate without any acknowledgment. I had to volunteer that the food was inedible. The response was dismissive and rushed, with no effort to understand the issue or make it right. An offhand "sorry about that" was offered while walking away, followed shortly by the $60 bill. The complete lack of accountability and concern was frankly abhorrent. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had, and I won't be back. I would have left hungry except that I was queasy from the gristle and paste.

Stopped by after visiting Julian ( so many people there lunch lines were hours)…read more Wife ordered Chicken Pot Pie and I ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich. This was the best meal we've had in a long time. Pot pie was so cute as crust was a not the traditional crust on top, but rather chicken shaped crust standing in the pot pie, and the pearl onions were the eggs. Wife said it was the best pot pie she has ever eaten. My Hot Chicken sandwich had a taste profile that was the right heat and nice flavor balance. Best I've ever eaten. Service was excellent, and the restaurant was modern and updated. Could have asked for better food and service. This will definitely be on come again list.

We had high hopes this place would improve... but nope. This was my second visit--and definitely my…read morelast. I even brought friends who had never been here before, thinking it could become one of our regular stops when we're out hitting the trails. Instead, it left a bad taste in everyone's mouth... and not just from the food. Waitress: Where do I even start. She claimed she was hard of hearing--but her attitude spoke loud and clear. Tossing menus on the table, aggressively slamming salsa down, and getting snarky over being off because our party count was off by one person. Seriously? It took two seconds to adjust the table, but apparently that was just too much. Yes, she technically did her job... but with such a cold, unwelcoming, and rigid attitude that it made the whole experience uncomfortable. What really stood out? We were there first and ready to order, yet she chose to take care of every smaller table that came in after us. No communication, no "I'll be right with you," nothing. Just ignored. Basic courtesy clearly isn't part of the service here. And trust me--I used to be a waitress. I handled large parties all the time and actually communicated with my tables. It's not that hard. Honestly, if gratuity hadn't already been forced onto the bill, she would've gotten $0. The only pleasant person we encountered was the busser--quick, friendly, and actually seemed like he wanted to be there. Maybe swap their roles, because he outperformed her by a mile. Food: Let's talk about the food... if that's what we're calling it. Everything came out cold. Not "warm-ish," not "could be hotter"... just straight up cold. It felt like our plates were sitting under a heat lamp for way too long before making it to the table. One "white" friend asked to have her meal fixed--fine, no problem. But when another "Hispanic" friend asked the same thing? Suddenly there was attitude, menu slamming, and mumbling under her breath. So... what exactly was the difference? Why the inconsistency and hostility? If the kitchen is that backed up, maybe management should step in and help instead of letting food die in the window. Just a thought. Final Thoughts: This place had potential... but that waitress single-handedly ruined it. We'll be taking our group (and our money) elsewhere--Dudley's Bakery is looking like a much better option moving forward. I usually bring large groups out here, so this isn't a small loss. Unfortunately, if this is the level of service they're okay with, this place isn't going to improve anytime soon. At this point, it's less "Farmhouse charm" and more "junky barn energy."
