Right in the heart of Historic Ramona sits Ramona Cafe. It is the classic diner with all the…read morefixings. Retro decor, friendly staff, and good food. Now that we live in Ramona, we have been venturing out and trying the different eating establishments. This place is like Cheers, where everyone knows your name. It has a great vibe and decent prices. The plates are HUGE and definitely shareable. I have been here a few times now, and I always really like what I order, with one exception: I am not a fan of their biscuits. I have tried on a few occasions and they do not do it for me. Today's was really not palatable. You can tell it was overworked and not cooked properly. You could still taste raw flour. It stuck to the plate it was on; that's how poorly cooked it was. On the happy side, we had great breakfasts. I ordered something different today, their Au Gratin omelette. It tasted great, but did not taste anything like Au Gratin potatoes. I would order it again. We also had chicken-fried steak with gravy and a chorizo scramble. Both were tasty and super filling. I understand their cinnamon rolls are out of this world. Since I rarely eat sweet things, I have yet to take a bite. Hoping next time I go out with friends, someone orders one. There is outdoor seating, and the establishment is dog-friendly. So bring Fido along and enjoy a meal. *Please excuse the photo. I forgot to take one before I started eating my omelette. You can see how dry the biscuit was in the next photo.

Fantastic Group Hosting & Efficient New Service Flow!…read more We hosted a sports team fundraiser here, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish! The restaurant recently added a counter-ordering service, which worked perfectly for our large group. Instead of dealing with the logistics of split checks and delayed table orders, every family was able to line up, order their own food, and pay individually at their own pace. Despite the sudden rush of a massive group, the staff handled the crowd flawlessly. The customer service flow was organized, the kitchen was remarkably fast, and the staff remained friendly and welcoming under pressure. They made sure our event ran smoothly, and everyone had a fun, successful, and stress-free evening. We are so grateful for their hospitality and highly recommend this venue for both everyday dining and large group events!

We ate at the HAMBURGER FACTORY RESTAURANT after visiting the San Diego Zoo Safari Park…read more It's a quaint throwback to the WILD WEST. It is the same of the town. We made reservations on OPEN-TABLE, but they were not necessary. When we walked in, we were seated at a table by the window. We were greeted by our SERVER JAMES. FIRST, he took our drink orders, THEN our meal order. We both ordered a TWISTED GRINGO BURGER; mine was Medium Rare, my partner's was well done. I ordered Onion Rings, and Gonzalo ordered French Fries. WHEN THE ORDER ARRIVED, a mix-up. MY BURGER came with French Fries, my partner's with onion rings. SERVER JAMES, responded correctly by saying, "I'll take care of it." In 10 Minutes, we had NEW BURGERS, AND French Fries and Onion Rings. WE ENJOYED OUR MEAL!!! It was as expected, AND MORE!!!

This place is a 90 mile round trip from where I live but sometimes you have a free day to fill and…read morewhy not. Road trip! It was worth the drive. Food was so good (burger and grilled chese with brisket.) And even though it's in the podunk Santa Ysabel, there are other things (pie, bread) at the same intersection so you can get a lot done. I'd like to also call out the fries. I have an unhealthy obsession and visceral reaction to bad fries, but Farmhouse 78 hits it out of the park with their fries. It defies logic that other sit-down places will meticulously prepare quality, fresh food, then slap frozen Ore-Idas down on the plate. Farmhouse 78 does not do that. Fresh cut potatoes fried in beef tallow. Doesn't get any better than that. I'd add a sixth star just for the fries if I could. I plowed through them before I even touched the sandwich.

We had high hopes this place would improve... but nope. This was my second visit--and definitely my…read morelast. I even brought friends who had never been here before, thinking it could become one of our regular stops when we're out hitting the trails. Instead, it left a bad taste in everyone's mouth... and not just from the food. Waitress: Where do I even start. She claimed she was hard of hearing--but her attitude spoke loud and clear. Tossing menus on the table, aggressively slamming salsa down, and getting snarky over being off because our party count was off by one person. Seriously? It took two seconds to adjust the table, but apparently that was just too much. Yes, she technically did her job... but with such a cold, unwelcoming, and rigid attitude that it made the whole experience uncomfortable. What really stood out? We were there first and ready to order, yet she chose to take care of every smaller table that came in after us. No communication, no "I'll be right with you," nothing. Just ignored. Basic courtesy clearly isn't part of the service here. And trust me--I used to be a waitress. I handled large parties all the time and actually communicated with my tables. It's not that hard. Honestly, if gratuity hadn't already been forced onto the bill, she would've gotten $0. The only pleasant person we encountered was the busser--quick, friendly, and actually seemed like he wanted to be there. Maybe swap their roles, because he outperformed her by a mile. Food: Let's talk about the food... if that's what we're calling it. Everything came out cold. Not "warm-ish," not "could be hotter"... just straight up cold. It felt like our plates were sitting under a heat lamp for way too long before making it to the table. One "white" friend asked to have her meal fixed--fine, no problem. But when another "Hispanic" friend asked the same thing? Suddenly there was attitude, menu slamming, and mumbling under her breath. So... what exactly was the difference? Why the inconsistency and hostility? If the kitchen is that backed up, maybe management should step in and help instead of letting food die in the window. Just a thought. Final Thoughts: This place had potential... but that waitress single-handedly ruined it. We'll be taking our group (and our money) elsewhere--Dudley's Bakery is looking like a much better option moving forward. I usually bring large groups out here, so this isn't a small loss. Unfortunately, if this is the level of service they're okay with, this place isn't going to improve anytime soon. At this point, it's less "Farmhouse charm" and more "junky barn energy."

We ordered the salmon melt, brisket melts, fried pickles, mac and cheese, potato salad, ribs, brisket, pulled pork, BBQ burgers, fries, and salad. I found the salmon melt to be a generous serving size and the salmon was perfectly cooked. The chipotle mayo paired really well with the melt too. Delivery was excellent as well! Everything arrived fresh, organized, and on time. Definitely recommend for both catering and a great meal!

The quality of the food is consistently solid, and their breakfast meats stand out compared to other diners. We've also had great experiences with their wings, burgers, salads, sandwiches, and limited-time dinner specials. The desserts never disappoint either. Drinks at the bar are always well-made--I usually go for lemon drops or margaritas, and the balance is spot on. We also love that they have access to pretty much any sports channel, plus weekly entertainment like trivia, karaoke, and bingo. It's a great spot to hang out, grab a drink, and enjoy a good meal. Shout out to the amazing servers as well!
