After reading some of the other reviews, I had difficulty reconciling them with my experience…read morethere. It's as if someone walked in, expected a local town hangout to be filled with racists and rednecks, and saw what they wanted to see. Hemet is a multi-racial town with a lot of hard-working folks of all races. I saw that in the clientele. Many people have stopped wearing masks in public. While I may question their wisdom, my wife and I wore ours when we walked in, as did many others. We received excellent, friendly, albeit informal service. Nobody even blinked. The food was hot, tasty, and plentiful. The coffee was as good as diner coffee gets, which means that it was fresh, hot, and rather strong. Not the best coffee I've ever had, but I enjoyed it, and I'm a bit of a coffee snob. Beyond that. It's a diner, folks. They don't have a wine steward, nor a matre d'. The food is basic. It's not "fusion" or any sort of cutting edge cuisine. It's just good basic diner food. No, it's not slick or corporate. It's not a nation-wide franchise with menus decided by focus groups. It's not fine dining. They don't have any of that. What they do have is good diner-style food, fast and friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. And if that's not what you're looking for, then why are you walking in there in the first place?

First time there - staff, unwelcoming. Paid for someone else's order, now waiting on a refund…read more Restaurant atmosphere - crowded, no clear way to the counter. Food - Subpar. Biscuits and gravy were terrible! Just a mess. Gravy was gelatinous in spots, somewhat bitter, and overall tasted awful. Complete waste of money. 1/10 Eggs Benny decent 4/10 Sausage & eggs 6/10. Hash browns and Homefries 7/10. I hope they make some changes there.

Hangar One has been in Hemet for a while, and the quality, charm, and speed has not fluctuated in…read moreall those years. I went again recently with some friends to grab breakfast, and we called ahead since it was a larger party. They had the long table in the middle set up for us and were quick and ready to get us all seated and served. The inside of the restaurant is small but very charming, with lots of airplane memorabilia and decor. The outside has a nice covered patio where you can actually watch some of the planes taking off or landing if you're lucky with your timing. Our large group got our food out very quickly. I'm so impressed by how fast they work while having the food still tasting fresh and hot. We were especially impressed by the special hot dog one of us ordered (I forgot the exact name), but it was loaded with toppings and she could barely get through half of it. Such a deal! I got the Irish melt and loved the flavor of the corned beef mixed with the coleslaw. The fries were also just crispy enough with a nice, fluffy inside. Of the many other times I've been here, every item has been delicious and affordable! I will continue stopping by for a delicious, quick, and lovey breakfast or brunch any time I'm in the area!

Being a regular has its perks! Trying everything on the menu is a plus. Oh, the specials too just…read moreask . The food, service and decor is always pleases me. My mom had Today's special of chip beef/gravy over toast with eggs and hash browns. I had the bacon, cheese omelette, hash browns and biscuits n gravy. My coffee was quick to to table, the refills just as fast. The food should up before I could even get down a 1/2 cup of coffee. The newest updates at the cafe help. They've enlarged the outdoor covered deck seating area and painted the building. So, come hungry leave bursting at your seams or take the extras home for later.

I grew up going to Steer & Stein in Pasadena. We use to go as a family on Monday nights for the…read moreweekly special, Fried Chicken. It was some of the best fried chicken I've had to this day but they closed years ago. And I moved to Temecula. So it's been on my list to go this location for a while but it's still a drive so when my son had a golf tournament at Soboba I had to make plans to take him here. As soon as I walked in I felt like I was on a move set of my childhood. The layout and furnishings were exactly like the location in Pasadena forty years ago! From the waiting area to the hostess stand to bathroom back in the far corner. Even the way the booths and tables were organized. It has a very western Americana vibe to it. The service was exceptional. The kind of service you only get in long established family owned restaurants that employ people for decades. Our waitress was great and attentive and kind. We got the onion ring stack to start. It was great but next time I'll get the zucchini fries which looked amazing. For our entrees we got the stockyard, burger and split the sides. Backed potato, salad and chili soup. The chili soup was t as good as the one I grew up going to but still passable. The backed potato was awesome! And the stockyard was great as well. Served on a sizzling metal plate everything stayed hot the whole meal. The burger was good but would probably opt for something else next time. And the Texas toast... forgedda bout it! Too bad this place doesn't have the fried chicken. I'm sure the recipe is somewhere. Wink wink...

Absolutely awful from start to finish. The food was…read moredisgusting. The soup was sour and tasted rotten and should never have been served to a customer. Everything else we tried was equally bad and clearly low quality. It felt unsafe to eat. The customer service was just as bad as the food. Staff were rude dismissive and completely uninterested in fixing anything. When we complained we were ignored. No apology no concern and no accountability. This place has no business serving food. Do not waste your money or risk getting sick. There are far better options anywhere else. ill be checking to make sure this well deserved bad review stays this time. if not i have no problem reposting obviously since this is the 7th time.
