    Lobster flatbread
    MiaBenz C.

    Whenever we are here (at least 10x a month), I always get the lobster omelette (my fav, lobster in every bite), lobster flatbread (delicious!) tuna melt (my sons fav), or prime rib panini. I've had the club sandwich, chicken wings, fish n chips, and smoked salmon.. none have disappointed. The portions are big, it usually feeds me more than once. What stands out about this place besides the lobster everything, is the service! We come here so often we picked a favorite server to look for whenever we are here... we even asked him when he's off so we know he's not there lol (Hi Victoriano!).. he's attentive, patient, and just overall wonderful. All the workers here are very nice but he stood out among the rest.

    The prices at this place are really affordable. The service (Dino) was incredibly friendly, kind and helpful! They do not do reservations, however, you can place your name on the waitlist and they will send a text when your table is ready. I highly recommend this place for quick, easy, affordable breakfast!

    Chilaquiles and a side or Pechanga potatoes
    Evelyn V.

    We were able to get on the online waitlist through the official website. We still had to check in with the hostess and wait some more, so this may or may not be helpful for anyone else. We had the chilaquiles with chicken and the other with steak,- avocado is extra ($4extra per order). The food was delicious and the portions can definitely be shared with someone else, we were not able to finish our meal. I do recommend.

    Cinnamon roll

    We had a great experience at Pechanga Cafe. My wife and I started with the bacon wrapped dates stuffed with Boursin cheese. I usually do not like dates, but these changed my mind. The flavor was rich and savory, and everything worked well together. We also shared the café salad with salmon. The mix of apples, candied pecans, grapes, and feta with the strawberry vinaigrette worked well together. The salmon stood out. It was soft, tender, and melted in our mouth. I ordered the hot Italian sandwich based on our waiter's recommendation. The meats paired well and gave the sandwich a lot of flavor without feeling overwhelming. The fries were crispy and cooked right. My wife ordered the filet mignon with mashed potatoes. Both were done well and tasted great. She has a gluten allergy, and the staff handled it without any issues by serving the whiskey sauce on the side. We finished with the cinnamon roll. This stood out the most. It had a savory balance, and the whipped cream, sauce, and candied nuts brought everything together in a way I have not had before. Service was solid, food came out on time, and the staff paid attention to details. We will be back.

    Steak and Eggs
    Raquel L.

    We ordered the lobster omelette with side choices and I selected the roasted potatoes and sourdough bread. My husband ordered the steak and eggs with the same sides as me. We both enjoyed our order and it was very tasty. Portions are generous and I had to take half of my order home. The service is excellent. Jamaica was our server. She was pleasant and checked on us to make sure that we were ok and not needing anything else. The atmosphere is definitely a cafe vibe; they also have a take out area to place your order near the hostess/bakery are. Cafe is open 24 hrs so great for those people who are hungry after watching a late concert or after gambling during the wee hours of the early morning.

    It's a typical diner style food with great choices. Our server was super nice and attentive. The portions are big so I ended up sharing with my sister. We had chilaquiles, my dad had an omelette and my mom had steak and eggs. We shared some toast as well. The food was good and coffee was ok. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. We had a great time coming here for breakfast :)

    Lobster omelette
    Janet T.

    FIRST TIME trying the Pechanga Cafe! It's right next to BLAZING NOODLES!! TIP: Come early for BREAKFAST! It gets busy after 10:30am on the weekends! LOBSTER OMELETTE $24: Me and my hubby shared and it was very filling for both of us. The omelette was more on a soft FRENCH style and not well done so I liked it SOFT. Evening was also LOW SODIUM... BAGEL with CREAM CHEESE was very good! FRESH SQUEEZED OJ: The portion was SMALL for $9 Our bellies were HAPPY and FULL until dinner time! ROCK ON THE PECHANGA CAFE!!!!

    My son's Black & Blue steak sandwich with onion rings.
    Amy C.

    Tuesday, 12-10-2024: We wanted to use our Easy Dine and to see Mary, our favorite server & to give her a Christmas gift. She takes such awesome care of us; consistently providing exceptional customer service. We were seated right away in a comfortable booth. This restaurant is always clean and well lit. My husband ordered the tuna sandwich on wheat along with chicken noodle soup. I wasn't very hungry so I opted for their dinner salad with French onion soup. As usual everything was prepared well and delicious! I had room so I ordered their tasty crème brûlée. Our dining experience was an enjoyable one with great service thanks to Mary and excellent food!

    Fried shrimp was great
    Ellie Q.

    This little cafe is open 24/7. We had a late lunch on a weekday. The servers were very friendly. We had great coffee first. And I ordered the steak fries. They were very yummy. We also ordered a Caesar salad which was delicious and fried shrimp, also delicious. The next morning we had breakfast. It was good except for the pancakes! Don't get the pancakes. Not good. We sent them back. But other than that, it was pretty good.

    Blue cheese burger w/fries
    Eddie D.

    Tried the blue cheese burger with arugula and caramelized onions--cooked perfectly medium rare. Really solid burger! The fries were nice and crispy on the outside, and pairing them with the ranch dressing made them even better. Definitely hit the spot if in the area...

    We came here for breakfast and had a great experience. My husband got the tuna melt which was AMAZING. I don't think I can have a tuna melt on any other bread now. I had the basic breakfast which was exactly that and we also got the cinnamon roll. I am very picky with cinnamon rolls and this was one of the best I've ever had! I noticed there were no pictures of it so I'm adding one for you!!

    I have been coming to Pechanga Resort and Casino for years, and the Pechanga Café has always been my family's go-to spot for a quick breakfast fix. The restaurant is conveniently located next to the bell desk and casino tower. We visited around 12 PM, and they were already serving the lunch and dinner menu. Fortunately, a few breakfast classics were still available. My parents ordered the breakfast platter while I went with the club sandwich, which I highly recommend on sourdough. For only $17, the portion was humongous and incredibly satisfying. The food was excellent overall. The only downside was the service, which could definitely be improved. It took a few tries to flag down a server for napkins and creamer, but it was nothing too frustrating. One highlight is the kids menu. The pancake plate is only $10 and comes with fresh strawberries, making it a great option for families. Always a reliable and tasty stop when visiting Pechanga. Also, if you have easy dine points or comped points with Pechanga rewards (only card members), you can easily use them at this establishment!

    Chilaquiles.  Had flavor but my steak came a bit cold
    Siria R.

    We came for breakfast and the hostess didn't even greet us. She looked at us, looked around and got two menus and proceeded to walk inside. We looked at each other and followed her. She put the two menus on the table and turned around and walked away. We looked at each other like ok?!?!? We sat down and waited about 10 minutes before we were acknowledged. The waiter finally come by and took our order. The food didn't take too long and it was not bad but my steak was a bit cold. I asked for another coffee and our waiter left never brought it back. Later we asked for refills and he took a long time to come back and when he did he set the carafe on our table. None of the staff were friendly or smiled. It was very uncomfortable. Didn't enjoy my breakfast, overall staff vibes were whack.

The minute you walked in, the ambiance just wasn't it. Perhaps because we were the only minorities there and everyone else wasn't (including the staff) but it was uncomfortable having people stare at us while we were eating and having our own conversations. Someone came to get our drink order and then it took a bit of time for our actual waiter Leila to come take our order. She did mention she was doing something else. we ordered the steak and frites and their pork chop which was the special of the day. I ordered my steak medium rare and the rest of the table ordered it in medium. When the steaks came out, the waiters seem confused as if they weren't sure which plates went where and when asked if that's a medium rare steak, they stated yes. That steak was medium and it was also dry and under seasoned. It was also tough and chewy. The fries were either undercooked or overcooked. Chimichurri sauce had no flavor to it. We did also order the cedar salad which was delicious. Their calamari and wings were as well. At the end of the night, Leila asked our friend how he liked his steak because it didn't seem like he ate anything. He said it was okay and she kept insisting you can be honest and kept pushing the matter. This was extremely uncomfortable because there was no need to make him feel like he was put on the spot. while I understand the need to want feedback, if your guest says it's okay and seem uncomfortable, maybe leave it at that. She then came over to me and asked about my steak and again saying, "you can be honest." Why wouldn't I be? I did tell her the steak was cooked incorrectly, that was not a medium steak and pointed out that it was dry. There was this awkward silence at the table because honestly there wasn't a need to keep pushing. Simply asking how was it would have suffice. They did end up comping my steak which was nice of them however the entire experience just wasn't pleasant. From the ambiance, to the crowd, to the food - wasn't worth it.
