    I ordered the French toast combo. It came with eggs, homestyle potatoes, and your choice of bacon, sausage, or ham. I choose the ham. The meal was really good. It comes with 4 slices of French toast. It was perfectly cooked with a slight crunch. I really enjoyed the meal. I would definitely recommend this meal, I would only change one thing, next time I will try the bacon or sausage only because the ham was more like a lunch meat style, folded in half than grilled. It wasn't bad just not what I would choose again. Overall 2 thumbs up!! My husband got the breakfast sausage burrito. He said it was great and would order it again. Comes with good tasting salsa. The service was spot on and they were all very friendly.

    Hair in my food. 2nd time this happened.

    Hair in our food again. This is the 2nd - 3rd time our food has a long hair in it. Maybe hair nets should be required if this keeps happening.

    lunch special: Turkey bacon avocado in sourdough, came with fries and drink
    Ana M.

    Honestly this place gladly surprised me. My car service took a little long and decided to try it out. Cafe service was super-friendly and that is something that I really appreciate. Food fresh and good selection. Turkey bacon avocado in sourdough

    the fries are no longer the deliciousness they used to be!! Did John Elway take that recipe with him?

    Pancake Combo

    Ordered the pancake combo while waiting for my car to get serviced and it was great! It comes with 2 buttermilk pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon and potatoes. Food tasted great. Will definitely be back to try the other food. Great quality for a great price! Staff was super attentive and friendly. Very pleased with the service and food.

    two plates of breakfast food

    Was here for breakfast. You seat yourself. They bring you a menu and serve you like any other restaurant. Prices are amazing and food is decent. Was a lot of food for the price. They check on you frequently to make sure you don't need anything else. If I lived closer I might come here for breakfast even if I wasn't getting my car worked on.

    Tuna salad sandwich & seasoned fries
    Tina T.

    Ordered a tuna salad sandwich $5-6 that comes with your choice of seasoned fries or a salad. Bread options - white / sourdough / wheat. I chose wheat bread & the fries. Service - Despite they were closing in 15 mins, had no issues with me ordering, or my order. In fact, another guy ordered a burger & fries a few minutes after me, with no issues. (And that's a huge thing for me! With restaurants being fussy for people who order close to closing time. I can understand for places that take 45 mins to make food but for something that will be done in less than your actual close time?... ok back to this review) Place is extremely clean, and it is INSIDE the Toyota dealership. Recieved my food in a very timely manner, with a fork, knife, napkin, ketchup, and RANCH to go.. without me even asking for it. In my books, if I don't have to ask for ketchup, let alone for ranch for my fries that's a 5 star review!! Finally, the food.. -Sandwich was a good portion, fresh veggies, and fresh tuna. It was light on the mayo.. but some of you may like that. Bread was toasted. It was a decent sandwich for the price. -Fries - ON CRACK. Think.... Jack In The Box wedges meets thick cut fries!!! I'd definitely just order a basket of fries next time I'm here ($3) and enjoy my wait time for my car service as I'm dipping them in ranch & ketchup.

    This cafe is a great way to kill some time while waiting around as your Toyota gets serviced. For regular maintenance work, and if you've made an appointment by calling ahead of time, you will be waiting about 45 minutes to an hour. I've only ever had breakfast here. Both times, the breakfast plates that I've ordered have been surprisingly good. The food is cooked to order and the staff are all nice and pleasant. Coffee is unlimited if you don't mind getting it yourself from the lobby. By the time you've paid your bill, your car is done and you can go on your merry with with a full and happy tummy while in your freshly maintained car.

We were greeted and seated immediately! Service was very efficient- our waitress brought us water and took our order within 5 minutes of being seated :) Kitchen was quick too, as our "frachos" and sandwich arrived really soon after placing our order Everything was wonderful! My friend said the seasoning on the "frachos" was good, and I said it could be the gochujang sauce. We laughed at the shape of how the potatoes were cut (maybe peeled?), as it was unexpected haha. It had the perfect ratio of fries to beef to toppings (red chili peppers, red onion, cilantro)! My friend got full from half of his sandwich, as it was packed with a lot of protein! Interior is pretty, and I personally enjoyed that the lighting was dim. It was actually really quiet for being/having a bar. Though I will add that the restroom was kinda dirty, and another customer and I joked about how there was no paper towels to dry our hands LOL Overall, nice experience!

Plenty of TVs, a lively atmosphere, and a staff that made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Great energy all around, especially with the World Cup crowd.

The food was good, but fair warning: come hungry or plan on a to-go box, because the portions are generously sized.

We waitied for approximately ten minutes before were called on my cell phone that our table was ready. As soon as we were seated and handed our menus, a server asked if we were ready to place our order. We told her no, since we were just seated. We did, however, place our beverage order. No sooner than when thatserver left with our drink order, another seever came to our table and asked if we were ready to order. We explained that our drink order was just taken, but we some time to look over the menu. Almost as soon as the second server departed our table, our drink order arrived. She then asked if we would like any appetizers, we ordered a half order of the cheese bread. we also placed our entrees order. Half order of cheese bread: $8.45; Pub Fish & Chips: $27.45 California Reuben with Garlic Fires: $21.45 + $2.95 Two Sodas: $@.95 each Pre-Tip Total: $75.36 We boith tried a piece of the cheese bread. Wow! We have not cheese bread such as this version before, and it was absolutely delicious! We ate it plain without dipping it into the accompanying marinara sauce (which I tasted and reminded me of a commercially prepared pedestrian, marinara sauce). This bread instantly has became one of our favorite appetizers to order at a Heroes branded restuarant. Ww barely had time to finish off our first piece of cheese bread when our entrees arrived. My wife's fish and chips looked really inviting to eat. The serving amount of fsih was appropriate and generous for the menu pricing. My wife enjoyed her lightly battered fish which was not greasy and oily to eat. She also devoured her coleslaw which she is very selective of how's it made, and the level of tanginess, which was just right for her. I dove into my California Reuben which swaps out the sauerkraut for coleslaw: all the other traditional ingredients are still used. The sandwich was generously stuffed with meat and coleslaw. Be sure to ask for extra napkins because this sandwich is messy but delicious to eat! The only minor gripe we have was the amount of times out table was approached by a whole slew of staff constantly asking us if we needed anything etc. One to three time during a meal for us is adequate, but it seems like the staff was overcompensating for some previous comments made about several Heroes restaurants having staff who perefer to talk amongst themselcves near the bar than attend to their diners. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner here and look forward to eating at Heroes and Roscoes restaurants often. Hoping the owners will consider opening in the Murrieta/Temeucla area in the near future!
