    Wow.. Stopped in after a flight to SAN heading to LA. Saw it was an old Sambo which I loved as a kid. Was blown away by service, speed and quality of food. Was the best meal of our CA trip!

    They were super quick to take our order and to bring us our food. The pancakes were some of the best I've ever had.

    20 years ago the Chicken-Fried Steak was big and oh!-so-Yummy. Don't dare do it now. Go for a Frittata. This place specializes in them and has a wealth of variety.73, I'm KM6AW

    Open 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Regulars know to sit at any empty seat at the counter when it is crowded. You don't have to sign in for that.

    Get the blueberry muffin with you meal. Combine that with the hot whipped butter and its like eating a piece of warm blueberry cake

    Big everything. The only things I have found not really really good are their gravy and their chili.

    Fritatas are really great and the blueberry muffin is quite possibly the best I've ever had.

    Burgers greasy and undercooked, turkey melt fab. Menu is huge. Most are $6-$11. Bfast looked a bit cheaper. Super fast service. Coffee ok.

    The services is not at par with their reputaion. The menu doesn't specify the content of meals which lead us to reject 2 dishes contianing pork. Worse they insisted we pay even they were not touched.

    One spoon of sugar in coffee. Keep it simple. Biscuits and gravy are bland. Homestyle over hash potatoes. I get the two egg breakfast scrambled hard. Not a fan of italian sausage.

    Huge portions, choose something salty like fritata and hashbrowns. Sweet muffin and pankes with salty butter - disgusting.
