    Ham & Eggs
    Brian C.

    This place is dope and recommend you stopping in! Visited a friend in East SD and was looking to for a good breakfast spot before meeting up. Found this place and was stoked I did. The place was pretty laid back and chill and fit my vibe. The bartender and staff were super friendly and helpful! I got the ham and eggs and they were delicious, and great priced! Good spot to chill and grab some food and a drink! Thanks for having me!

    Churro dessert
    Marci T.

    I recently stopped at Steel 94 in Jamul with a friend to celebrate both of our birthdays. We were immediately seated and welcomed by an extensive menu with various options. We started with chips and salsa and a quesadilla, which was incredible--the cheese pull on the quesadilla was amazing, and the chips and salsa were really good too. You can't go wrong with either one. My friend ordered the nachos, and I went for the Tuesday special $5 tacos, getting one fish and two carne asada. The carne asada tacos were packed with meat and guacamole; they were so stuffed I had to eat the second one with a fork! The fish taco was just as good. To finish, we had churros for dessert, which were phenomenal and comped for our birthdays, making the experience even sweeter. Our waitress, Shirleen, was amazing and really made the meal enjoyable. It was a quick lunch, but we had a great time and would love to come back for more!

    Automatic surcharge
    Stacy F.

    Pros: fairly empty so quick seating. Cons: small parking area, service is SLOW, coffee is lukewarm and the food is hit and miss. For example, came once and the biscuits and gravy were phenomenal. This time, old biscuits and they were not good at all. No hazelnut creamer, only half and half and French vanilla. Had to wait for utensils. You are eating in a bar. They also charge a 4% credit/debit surcharge that you don't notice until after you hunt down your bill. Bottom line: I might give them another shot a few months down the road.

    Authentic Menudo
    Blanca L.

    Employees made me and the family feel welcomed as soon as we walked in. Went in on a Sunday morning it was not too busy. I ordered their authentic Menudo and it did not disappoint. Service was good, our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Would recommend and will be back.

    Definitely a neighborhood place. Very relaxed and just overall friendly people, both staff and patrons. Good American bar and grill. Had waffles with sausage and they were good and fluffy. If you're a meat eater and you like bbq sauce then get the cowboy burger, the tri tip added was really good. Heavy on the bbq sauce, so you may ask for it on the side, but definitely done skip it. Get extra napkins. The fries were battered and seasoned, hot and crispy. We try to stop here when we are in the area.

    Chicken flautas were excellent.  They went well with our beer.
    Jacqueline B.

    Excellent service, even the owner Miguel stopped by our table to greet us. Drinks we right on pointa nd the chicken flautas were great.

    Ok so service fair at best, never asked if we needed anythingor if we were happy with the food. Hamburger $16 and really nothing special Ordered medium came well done. Glass of milk.$4.75 Look out for the 4% added for card even if you pay cash it's on there. Of course they'll take it off if you catch it. When did a $8 Hamburger become $16?

    Onion rings
    Elizabeth H.

    When we went we weren't aware reservations were necessary because of the popularity of band playing. It was my birthday and I wanted to go there. We did get seats and ordered drinks and food. My husband felt his enchiladas were dry inside and not enough sauce. My friend had the sliders which she said were just one burger cut into smaller parts for the small bun. I had the Santa Maria tri-steak which was tender and juicy but not very flavorful. The best part were the onion rings. They were very good. We would come back and try different food.

    Loved the atmosphere of this restaurant! Very cozy And cute and the food was chefs kiss! I got the biscuits and gravy and it did not disappoint. We also paired it with mimosas!

    We sat by the fire to stay warm and cozy (joke)

    I have lived in East County my entire life. I am always looking for something 'different', something that stands out from the rest, a hidden gem, if you will. I had heard of Steele 94 many times and heard great things about it. I/ we finally went out to try it. I was in love with the place the second we walked in the door. It had a great feel to it and it was very welcoming. Speaking of welcoming, the owner Miguel greeted us and we were sold! We had breakfast as it is my favorite meal of the day and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed our time there so much, we returned for dinner. Once we got out of the car we were hit by the intoxicating aroma of the outdoor grill. Guess who was manning the grill, that's right- Miguel! We had a tremendous dinner and a great evening. I do believe I have found that hidden gem I have been looking for. We will be back, and very soon!

    We have been to Toasted probably 5 or so times since moving to La Mesa and love it! We definitely…read morerecommend it. AMBIANCE: The ambiance is very nice. The restaurant is cute and not too noisy. There is an indoor and outdoor area. SERVICE: We have never had a bad service experience at Toasted. Our waitress today in particular was great. My niece wanted a mimosa without alcohol, and she happily accommodated and even suggested adding some soda water to make it more like a mimosa. FOOD & DRINKS: In the many times we have been there, we have had the following; DRINKS: -Mimosa Flight: Too be honest, I did not love the flight. The Prickly Pear was my favorite, but I tend to prefer sweeter drinks, and I would say overall, the cocktails are not super sweet there, which for many people is a plus (just not me). -Lavender Cocktail - Good but also not super sweet -Chai Latte - I have had it hot and iced and liked it both ways FOOD: -Santa Fe Scramble - My favorite dish I have tried to date. Our waitress compared it to tortilla soup in an egg dish, and I would say that's a new perfect description except I think this is way better than tortilla soup -Denver Scramble - Very good and would order again -Breakfast Sammy - Good. A typical breakfast sandwich, so if that's what you're in the mood for, get this. That being said, I wouldn't say there is anything that sets this breakfast sandwich apart from others. -Stuffed French Toast - Good but not my favorite. Would not order again. -Fried Chicken Benny - Good but not a standout that I would order again -Breakfast Quesadilla - Just okay. Nothing was wrong with it, but I would not get it again and would do the Santa Fe Scramble over this. -Sliders - My favorite lunch item. They are the same as the old Sammy's sliders (this location used to be a Sammy's) -Red Velvet Pancakes - Good but very rich -Chocolate Chip Pancakes - Great and very fluffy with excellent texture Overall, even though not every food item or drink is a hit for me personally, that's the case at pretty much any restaurant, and there are some great items and the food, service, and ambiance are great

    Great bottomless service, our waitress filled up my glass as I drank which was amazing lol. I…read moreordered the chicken and pancakes which all together I rate a 6.5/10. - Comes with 3 THICK pancakes and three southern fried chicken tender with "hot" syrup. - Syrup tasted like regular syrup mixed with hot sauce which I wasn't really feelin. I think it would've been better with hot honey and syrup on the side? - Again these pancakes are THICK and flavor was "meh" so you prolly won't even finish them all and you might need to ask for extra syrup (like myself) I honestly think the chicken and French toast would've been a better option and I might ask for that accommodation next time if I order the same thing (I prolly won't, I like to try new tings hehe). Overall pretty restaurant with great natural Lighting but it still needs to prove itself in the flavor department.

Both egg meals came with choice of three large buttermilk pancakes, hashbrowns or toast. Food was good. I enjoyed my bacon and sausage. Prices are very similar to other breakfast restaurants but they give you a good amount of food here. I saw signs about paying with cash to avoid the fees to small businesses. We didn't have cash but they also accept zelle! We had a great Sunday morning start here- definitely recommend:) Oh you can check-in and get a hot chocolate. I didn't participate but I saw the yelp sign.

The ONLY reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 (and I'm usually a 5-star/1-star girlie) is that we haven't seen Cari, one of our favorite servers, in either of our last couple of visits. Over a year ago now, Cari stepped UP when I became faint and almost passed out on Nate's front deck. It was a hot day, I am BAD at drinking water but great at sweating; and as I stood up, I turned paper white and the world got fuzzy. Cari swooped in the moment she saw what was happening - making sure I was safely lying down, getting me hand sanitizer for my forehead and a wet cloth for the back of my neck (rapid cooling!), and orange juice for my fluid imbalance. I'm so SO glad Cari was there to take better care of me than I take of myself. I miss our nerdy conversations, and hope she'll be back soon!

So far, I've tried the pandan, the brown sugar, and the sesame latte all iced w/ oat milk and they've all been a hit. The pandan is easily my fave, but if you're trying the brown sugar and don't love super sweet drinks I'd recommend adding an extra shot to balance it out. The drinks are consistently good and you can tell they really care about the quality. It's one of those spots you keep thinking about and end up going back to without even planning it. Customer service was solid and there's plenty of seating, which makes it a nice place to hang out or get some work done. Parking was also easy, which is always a win.
