Arriving to the cafe we were greeted from the moment we walked in and got seated fairly quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside where they played some oldies, which was a plus because I loved the music of choice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was pretty good, the potatoes could use more flavor but overall the food was tasteful. The only complaint I have would be the 3.5% charge to use a card, so definitely will bring cash next time and no refills of drinks. They served bottle of waters and cans of sodas. Idk if that's a regular thing or if they don't have a soda machine, but that would be my only complaint from this place. Will come back again to try different foods on the menu.

My daughter and I found this place looking for breakfast. Definitely different didn't expect a themed cafe but it was cool. Especially if you're into this sort of genre. Lots of movie vibes great murals though out the restaurant We were greeted right away by a gentleman and sat inside wasn't to busy Gave us the menu we ordered our drinks Looked over everything and decided what we would have I got the vegetables omelette added avocado portion was a good size and my daughter got the chilaquiles burrito it was on the smaller side, Food was good service was good was a bit expensive but I would recommend this place for breakfast.

Came with my boyfriend and it was our first time at George's Cafe. The entire meal and coffee were delicious! Our server was very friendly and attentive with us. She allowed us to stay a little longer because of the World Cup Game. (Big Thank You!!) An experience I won't forget, my compliments to the chef as well!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance and culture were also a pleasant touch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be back soon!! Thank you!!!

Wrong advertisement. I've order chicken and waffle and got sausage and waffle. Seriously?? This is not right. I didn't even like the taste because I was expecting chicken.

Welcome to GEORGE's CAFÉ.

George's Cafe is a local hotspot eatery that offer foodies traditional meals (breakfast/brunch) in a cozy and welcoming dining experience. It's located on a tiny plaza at 522 E Vine Ave in West Covina. Customers have an option of seating in their rear outdoor patio with street view as well as indoor. Throughout the cafe's interior decor you'll see some iconic cultural figures and the beautiful Virgen de Guadalupe. Their menu has a wide variety of breakfast (American & Mexican) items. I came early morning and ordered a Cafe de Olla and a Veggie Omelette. Both were just okay-typical coffee and breakfast. Service was mildly slow because they only have 1 male server working in that morning. And customer started to pour in at 08:45 am. I can see he's struggling taking orders. I almost wanted to assist the male server and start taking customers' orders and inquiries. lol. Atmosphere was good. Prices were fair that reflects the quality and quantity of the food or drinks offered. Staff were competent and affable. Overall, this cafe is modest that offers a Mexican home cooked meal. I think there are area in their business that can be improved.

George's Cafe in West Covina deserves every bit of five stars! The inside has such a throwback to 80-90s homie style, welcoming vibe, but it's also really beautiful and cozy at the same time. I ordered the waffle country fried steak and it was incredibly soft, tender, and comforting--perfectly cooked and easy to eat. The potatoes were exactly how breakfast potatoes should be: crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The French toast was also amazing--golden, flavorful, and perfectly indulgent. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to! The service was great super friendly.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing atmosphere, super interesting theme all from a local artist.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got here early on a Wednesday and talked with George about the art and his long experience in the food industry. He was kind and showed us around. The food showed up after we were done touring the art inside and outside of the restaurant. It was amazing. I lived in San Diego for a while and moved to Texas. I've missed the breakfast burritos so much, our tacos are no competition unfortunately. His breakfast burrito was amazing. My wife had the Greek omelette and it was delicious. I highly recommend checking them out and supporting their business if you have the opportunity.

Found Georges cafe while on my morning dog walk. I was greeted by the server and she took me out to the patio to find a table. Many good selections on the menu for breakfast and i opted for the weekday special of sausage breakfast tacos. It comes with 3 scrambled egg and sausage tacos and a side of green chili salsa for 10.95 . It was just the right size and tasted great! I also ordered a coffee, but unfortunately it was luke warm, even when she topped it off. Service was fantastic! I got my tacos within 5 minutes of order.The walls are airbrushed with colorful Latino culture artwork. I'll come back to try more of the menu.

My family and I had breakfast here for our first time with my mentor it was a lovely and whole experience-- the waitress was so honest and kind with the recommendations. The food was dank; I ordered the menudo and Benedict. I appreciate the environment and the hospitality! It's worth the try and wait! Thank you, we will be back here

Hit the road again in my journey for a good-ass burger and ended up in West Covina. Bun Street is…read morewell-reviewed and has a big following, so this wasn't a hard choice, although there is a small Hawaiian spot right near it that I'll have to try. Almost made it a Hawaiian day, but next time. So yeah, it's in a large strip mall with lots of parking. Inside is very spacious and lively, as advertised. Lots of mounted flat screens and plenty of neon signage to remind you that they also serve cold brews here. Definitely a happening spot for Dodgers games for sure. Menu is extensive with lots of options for burgers and sides. Took the recommendation from my awesome server and ordered the following: - Stinkin' Bun Burger - 9/10: yo, this was incredible. Brioche bun was perfectly crisped, patty was thick and full of flavor. Loved the garlic cheese spread. Just brought it to another level. Well-balanced and not too garlicky. Just delicious. Pro tip: Mon-Fri are their lunch specials. So you can get a side and a drink with your burger of choice at a reduced price. Otherwise, everything is a la carte. So yes, a good time was had by all!

Knocking off one star because the fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil.. it was a bit bitter. Our waitress was really nice and checked up on us and gave good recommendations. The inside has a bar area and they also have outdoor seating. Definitely recommend if you're craving burgers!

What's great burger and fries place. I tried to come here on 4th of July to pick up burgers to…read morewatch fireworks but I was slightly late, so I have been itching to try since then. I finally got to try on a random night. Amboy is located inside Haven City, which is a cool food hall that has tons of food options and seating. Amboy is pretty easy to find. I opted for an Amboy classic (single patty) and garlic fries. It did take a little bit of time, which I didn't mind so I could wander around and look at all the food options. Once the food came out, I dug in. The burger was delicious! It had simple ingredients, but everyone just came together. Garlic fries were also a huge portion and pretty tasty. Although I really enjoyed the garlic fries, I think next time I might opt for just regular fries because I felt the regular fries would be perfect with the burger. Definitely will be back for some delicious burgers and fries. Also, Haven City has tons of large TV's and they play dodgers games. So, if you're a fan and want to watch the game, this is a great place to go.

We came specifically for Amboy, ranked #9th on The World's Best Burger list and created by Alvin Cailan, the founder of Eggslut. We arrived just in time to take advantage of the Snackflation Special, $9 can you get a Single Smashed Cheeseburger, fries and a drink. Just from holding the burger in our hands, those perfectly toasted sesame buns invited us in for something special. From the perfect melted cheese, smashed beef patty with to the crispy edges. The burger was flawless, and incredibly well crafted. Nothing was overdone allowing the quality to shine through. This was one of the best burgers we've had In a long time, and easy one top places to circle back everytime we're in town.

I love this small little burger joint just across town for me. I usually get their cheeseburger…read morespecial and today was nothing different. The cheeseburger is amazingly delicious with just the right amount of toppings, onions, and sauce, which I believe may be mayonnaise. However, their french fries were dark brown and tasted overcooked with absolutely no salt whatsoever. I would recommend a different side besides the fries. Service is good pretty much a husband and wife team. Food is cooked fresh to order. In the way of ambience, there is not much seating. I believe there is only 4 tables 3 can 4 people, 1 table seats two. I think I saw a couple of picnic type tables outside.

I'm giving Classic Burgers four stars because this place has been a staple for me for years and it…read morestill hits the spot every single time. If you know, you know. It's one of those dependable neighborhood spots that you keep coming back to because the food is comforting, filling, and consistently good. I've been coming here for well over 15 years and it's always been that place you think of when you just want something solid that won't disappoint. The food itself is exactly why people love this place. Everything tastes best fresh, especially the fries and the teriyaki bowl. That's the kind of food you want to sit down and enjoy right away, not throw in a bag and rush out the door. Which brings me to the only reason this isn't a five star review. We showed up with about 30 minutes left before closing and were told we couldn't sit in the dining area, even though it was still open. That felt a little off and honestly kind of disrespectful, especially when the food is meant to be eaten fresh and hot. That said, the food was still really good, even to go, and I'm still recommending this place without hesitation. It's right there in the same shopping center as 85°C Bakery, super easy to find, and absolutely worth trying if you're in the area. Please try it. Seriously. This place has earned its reputation over the years and it's a true classic for a reason.
