WHAT IS BONNY'S CAFE?
A homestlye diner with oldies nostalgia and background music with a plethora of good homecoming meal choices from breakfast omelettes to pork chop dinners.
Closes at 2 PM. I arrived on a Saturday at 1245 PM and was not rushed. I had immediate seating. When I came at 10AM there was a 2 minute wait.
WHAT MEAL DO YOU SUGGEST?
The food is just plain delicious. I used to eat here every week for 10 years when I lived in El Cajon. I stopped by after completing the Iron Mountain Hike.
I only order the Popeye Omelette with a pancake and hash browns. Gosh this food is so good. The hash browns are crisp on the outside and soft in the inside with a slight buttery flavor. So good, no ketchup needed. And when I bring friends their feedback is similar with their meal choices. It's good.
WHAT IS THE ATMOSPHERE?
Diner style table service with the option of counter seating. Waitpersons assist each other without the side-eye :). Prices are reasonable at $13-16 per plate. Kid and senior menu available. Wheelchair and scooter friendly accessibility. Indoor seating with limited outdoor seating.

A lovely place
Perfect breakfast ????????
A beautiful and smiley serving ????????????????????
The restaurant is located off of Broadway and there is easy access to the parking lot. Parking is on the west side of the building.
Upon entry we were greeted by a friendly staff and fabulous fifties atmosphere. Great oldies were playing a the red and checkered decor.
We sat in a comfortable booth and were quickly greeted by our server. She was kind and had a great smile. Unfortunately I didn't make note of her name. Our drinks were delivered quickly and she was patient with us while we perused the menu. I appreciated that she kept our cups full with refills.
The menu is limited, but it is a good variety of options. We were a little disappointed that some of the items from older menu photos were no longer available. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but it is to be expected with the increase in the cost of their supplies.
We ordered the French Toast with a side of bacon and the Chicken Fried Steak and eggs with hashbrowns and a side of biscuits and gravy.
The French Toast was a large portion of fluffy thick toast. It was served with butter, syrup, and powdered sugar. It was DELICIOUS! The side of bacon was cooked crispy and had great flavor. I HIGHLY recommend this breakfast.
Unfortunately the review of the Chicken Fried Steak platter isn't as good. The steak was a good size for breakfast. I was glad I asked for the gravy on the side, it turned out i did not care for the taste. The gravy was a bit bland and the chunks of meat in the gravy was not good. The scrambled eggs were cooked just right and were fresh and fluffy. The hashbrowns were extremely greasy and smashed into a thin serving. The hashbrowns tasted as though an old oil was used to cook them. The biscuits and gravy, also left something to be desired.
While I didn't enjoy my breakfast as much as my companion, I will come back to try something else on their menu.
This is the classic "homestyle" diner; better than IHOP or Dennys.
The food was fresh; good quality and tasted well, came out very quickly as well. It a bit on the pricy side, however the portions are HIGE.
Service was splendid, quick and prompt.
Everything was clean and spotless.
Rather drive here 15 mins away and enjoy better quality food than go to any commercial chain restaurant.
I was looking for a new venue for breakfast and found one. I had the omelette with polish sausage with pancakes. My wife had the avocado omelette with biscuits and gravy. The omelettes were loaded with ingredients and had great flavor. The pancakes which were light and not too fluffy. A great local find and definitely worth visiting again.
Such a great vibe in this little cafe! Nicest staff and absolutely DELICIOUS food! Biscuits and Gravy are a must if you are a fan.
I'll be back as soon as I can, Wish I knew of this place sooner!
Love Bonny's!! The food is absolutely delicious. The staff is wonderful and efficient. It's the cleanest restaurant I've ever seen. Great place to take your family.
I had not been to Bonny' s since before COVID. It was just as good as I remembered. There's plenty of parking. Once inside, the restaurant it's bright and cheerful with a 1950's type of decor. Our waitress was wonderful and provided excellent service. My group enjoyed a very tasty senior breakfast. As a veteran of the USN, I was pleased to see our American Flag proudly displayed and a wall dedicated to U S Veterans. I will return soon.
