Food was descent, waitress had terrible servicing was very argumentative. The hostess even mentioned us to cut our time short there because on another party coming and it wasn't busy with other tables available there. Had to repeatedly ask for a top for our drinks and after 10min I got up to get it myself then another waitress there said she would get it for me and never came back. Food wasn't that great, service was terrible. Wouldn't go there again with other better quality restaurants and service. read more

Love this place ! I'm always greeted with an awesome attitude and friendly costumer service ! And the food is awesome ! Support local businesses!:) read more

This was a cute little spot to eat, they have good prices for food and a good variety of things to drink. Would definitely recommend this place read more

Great prices, friendly service, Good food. A little trouble parking, small indoor area

Small little restaurant with a green exterior and a somewhat dated interior. Nothing fancy here. It's a typical little Mom and Pop kind of 'dive'. It's basically a breakfast and lunch place. Prices are decent but they only accept cash. No credit or debit cards are accepted as of October 2016. I ordered a breakfast meal at lunch time. Corned beef hash and eggs with toast and hash browns. Food was okay. read more

George's Cafe - Corned beef hash and eggs, hash browns and toast. - Cafes Near Me - San Diego, California

I don't vary my favorites at restaurants too much. Once I love something, I stick with it, seeking perfection, in this case just the right combination of taste and price (probably weighing more toward price). When you can get a meal for an amazing price AND it's good food, the rare confluence of culinary and economic excellence gives me in a state of pure bliss. I work this way with my standard 2 eggs, hash browns/home fries and toast/french toast weekend breakfast (often post-partying on the previous night). George's is my new #1 spot for this particular combo. $3.99 gets you home fries with bell peppers and onions(!), four slices of sourdough toast with generous butter and the two eggs. And it was a huge portion of home fries. My partner ordered the veggie omelette (with broccoli and avocado!) for $5.99 with the home fries and toast and enjoyed it. I also noticed a breakfast burrito with avocado for $2.99 and they had an eclectic mix of Korean BBQ, Chinese food, Mexican food and American greasy-spoon style stuff. I have to admit, I've lived in City Heights for 2 1/2 years and never gave George's a chance due to the dark exterior that prevents you from being able to see inside the restaurant from a car. Once inside though, it was bright and clean, the waitress was nice, and they were pumping out some smooth soft jazz. I like the breakfast combo at Margarita's in OB (includes tortilla chips and salsa!) and the one at the Antique Row Cafe in Normal Heights was a-ight but George's definitely has them beat on portion sizes and slightly on price. It's our new morning-after breakfast spot, especially since they started serving breakfast on Sundays now. read more

Support the mom & pops spots!!! Got a brunch meal for a family of 5 (including 2 growing boys) for $38!! That's less you'd spend at McDonald's. The equivalent menu of Denny's but not garbage food like Denny's lol. Pretty small diner. We got take out. Average size portions. Note: closes at 1pm. read more

This is truly a hidden gem if you like diners. The menu is simple and the staff is very friendly and kind. We ordered a sampling of a few things, all were excellent. The twin combo consisted of 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, and 2 sausage for $4.99. You can't beat that! It was tasty. The breakfast burrito was $4.25 and I substituted sausage instead of bacon. It also had hash browns, cheese, and avocado. They have homemade hot sauce with was GREAT and went very well with the breakfast burrito. Great value and delicious. The hash browns and corned beef have were a diner lovers delight. Both very tasty and cooked just right. The pork chops (you get 2) were $10 and came with fried potatoes/peppers/carrots. They were good as well. You could share this meal if both were light eaters. We will definitely be back to this gem of a diner, be ready to wait in line if you get there after 11! It's worth it. read more

been coming here for a solid 5 years straight. it's our go-to breakfast place! everything here is delicious. pancakes, are fluffy and always delicious, they have a breakfast burrito that also is pretty amazing. it's never uncomfortable full, it's always perfectly satisfying. the waitress and owner are pleasant, always warm welcoming. read more

Food was ok. My friend ordered chicken fried steak and got chicken fingers snd he didn't want to make a fuss so I get that. Never cam to table and asked us how meals were and check out guy was a little rude. Honestly I have no idea how they have a 4.5 star rating which was the reason we went there. Most people were locals which is cool but staff totally catered to them and even gave them free stuff while the rest of us received average service. read more

If you like diners and dives, then you will dig George's. This place is truly old-school, with friendly service and mega-low prices. My husband I went here for breakfast, and discovered that many of the specials were under $5. Unheard of! These all included pancakes, which didn't quite fit our fancy, so we went up a couple bucks and got a hamburger combo for him and the corned beef hash combo for me. The huz was surprised when he received not one but two burger patties with his plate of hash browns and eggs. He also enjoyed their iced tea (sugar-free, so add your own sweetener if you like). I was happy with my hash and hash browns (is there such a thing as too many potatoes? HELL NO!), sopping up the tasty yolks from 2 over-easy eggs. They even had a choice of different types of bread, so I ordered rye. All that for $6? It's a crazy deal! Some have referred to George's as the "poor man's Denny's," which seems apt, since it's pretty no-frills. But I would say it's better than Denny's, since their prices are much cheaper and their food is pretty darn tasty. They also serve Chinese food for lunch, which we will have to check out next time. In the words of the Guvinator: We'll be back! read more

Quality was eh, wouldn't come back here again. Too oily and my eggs come out so hard and over cooked when asked for over easy

The spicy sausage was good and warm! There's only outdoor dinning and take out at the moment. I will be going back

I found this place while getting my car worked on at the nearby Honda Acura T-T Auto Service. I came in to find a really basic place with breakfast foods and a small chinese buffet set up. It's really not very fancy inside. In fact it's almost ghetto but it sort of fits the neighborhood. However, the food and service was very good. The spanish waitress was very prompt, professional, and good. She took the order almost immediately and the food came about 8 min later. I ordered a basic breakfast of 2 eggs scrambled, 2 pancakes, and 2 sausage links. The eggs were prepared very nicely and perfect color. The pancakes were thick and fluffy and perfectly cooked. The sausages were a little small but what do you expect for $3.50? I thought it was a bargain. I would try their omlettes the next time. Again, the food here is very basic breakfast food but well prepared. The ambiance could get an improvement but I think they need more customers and money before they could do that. read more

I really dig this place! Every time I come to San Diego I stop here for breakfast. For a little hole-in-the-wall place, the food is great and inexpensive. All the breakfasts come with home fries (red potatoes with onion and bell pepper) or choice of hash browns. The the spicy sausage (hot link) breakfast is my favorite! The omelets are great! In fact, everything I have had from here has been good. I highly recommend this place. The only drawback is that the place is small. I peaked into the kitchen and the kitchen was very clean. read more

See all

We were greeted when we walked through the door. You can sit wherever there is a space. Our orders were taken within five minutes of being seated and our meal was brought to us in ten minutes and it was hot and fresh. The pancakes were fluffy and came with two pieces of butter. The eggs were scrambled just to perfection. I would definitely return. read more

This is my favorite weekend breakfast spot. Yes its small, divey and not at all fancy but that is why I love it! They are friendly, fast and super accomodating. The food is amazing and takes waaayyy better than Dennys. If you are not bougie at all and want something yummy for bfast, definitely come here! read more

I came here once for one of their specials and was delighted. The food came quickly and the place had a diner vibe to it. I believe it's family owned, the hours were a little weird because it took me a few times to catch this place open. My absolute favorite thing about this place was the fresh co slaw. I'm not too crazy about co slaw, but damn was it fresh and delicious. read more

Yum! Fantastic French Toast and tasty breakfast burrito! Quick and friendly service. Oh, we'll be back.

Great costumer service always make you feel welcome great place to have a nice simple breakfast

I don't know how this place doesn't have more reviews! it's always busy, but there is not a lot of wait time. I have been coming here for the past 10+ years. Since I was a little kid, probably early 2000's. The place has remained the same & the waitress has been the same since i remember. She is the only waitress, but she gets her job done. George's serves breakfast until 1:30 p.m which is good. Their prices are great and their food is too. i love this place. Their pancakes are delicious and their hash browns too. They also have chinese food in the afternoon. It is mostly families and the elderly from the senior housing from across the street come too. I highly recommend!!!! read more

Veggie omelette is my favorite dish, just make sure to ask them to chop the broccoli into smaller pieces. VERY REASONABLE prices. Love this place read more

First time here. The French toast is bomb! Wonderful urban discovery! We will be back! Support the local establishment.

Would've given them 5 stars had the answered their phone. I called and called in hopes of placing my order then just being able to pick it up. Food is great and prices are phenomenal. Steak and egg breakfast for a small $7.50! Can't beat that! Other than that. They were pretty quick about it and very kind people. read more

Service was not satisfying! The menu was confusing couldn't make a choice of sides when there was a selection.

I went for breakfast. I had two eggs over easy, corn beef hash, and home fried potatoes. Choice of bread. Salsa and catsup brought to table. I ordered coffee. Refilled regularly without asking. Restaurant was clean. Staff are friendly. Service was prompt. The restaurant was busy Saturday morning about 11 A.M. Parking on the street. Just off University on 43rd Street. Breakfast was well prepared. I enjoyed the meal. I think this is a good place for breakfast. Recommended. read more

This dive has good food at great prices. I had the twin plate (two eggs, pancakes, and sausage patties) for $3.99. Eggs were ok...the pancakes and patties were good. My wife had the breakfast burrito and loved it. We'll definitely go back. read more

Been coming here for years. I remember when it used to be on the corner really back in the day! Love it here. Good food with a great price. The portions are hearty as well! The service is great given that there is only one waitress serving everyone. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Ok first time here I had the Georges round up. Its like a meat lovers plate bacon sausage a piece of ham 2 eggs and home fries and they have onions and green peppers. Love the place great prices . love it read more

I have been eating at this place since I was like 9. I guess I am the " the low income demographic of City Heights...the demo that has not been gentrified or glorified." like the dude above said..... well I love this place for breakfast and for their Chinese food you can get a full plate for like 6 bucks... it's in my price range and it taste great!!!!! I take all my friends that come from out of town to eat there and they love it as well...... so if you ever just wanna get a good well priced bite head to Georges...... read more

very reasonable for the price, nice staff. i will be back to try the lunch!!! CASH ONLY

Inexpensive regular no frills food. I was hoping to have the Chinese buffet I read about but they don't serve it anymore. Hubby had a patty melt with fries. I had teriyaki chicken. It comes with white rice, shredded cabbage with a light dressing, and eggs. Didn't see that coming. I liked the serving size for the fries. It wasn't a huge plateful, it was a single serving, just the right amount. With the iced tea the bill came to $15.37. We will go back....this joint is much smaller than I expected. read more

Awesome food, Chinese food is so goooood you have to give it a try, always big portion sizes and decently priced, recommend

I like this Place I go sometimes a week I like the waitress she's nice her name is Marya the food is ok but it's fine

I went to eat breakfast here for the second time in the 10 years that i have been living in City Heights. I had 2 very fluffy and delicious pancakes, two scrammbled eggs and two pieces of bacon, perfect. It was like a home cooked meal but I didn't have to do the cooking. Don't let the location keep you away. City Heights is not ghetto. Just check out the redevelopment around this area, plus George's is not open til' late so it's perfectly fine for taking the family. Only thing i would recommend and that i think would make it even better, is if they placed tables and chairs outside, would be a big plus since inside it's kind of small. Still like it though. You will too. read more
