Bonny's Cafe - El Cajon, California

First time at this location for breakfast. I ordered the New York steak and egg with country potatoes and biscuits with gravy.
What better way to test a new place on their food is how they cook their steaks and eggs. I ordered my steak medium and my eggs over medium. Both were cooked perfectly. The home country potatoes were delicious and the gravy on the biscuits was perfect.
The staff was attentive and very accommodating.
I will definitely drive to this place again to try their other items. I highly recommend it. FYI - I got to the restaurant around 12:45 pm and there was plenty of parking.

We meet here every Thursday morning at 7:30AM for our East County Referrals small business group meeting. I love the food here - the corned beef hash, chicken fried steak, biscuits ans gravy, and country breakfast are awesome. The quality of the coffee is very good, and always fresh. The chefs really do take pride in what they are making in the kitchen. The staff are all friendly and efficient . Highly recommend Bonny’s!

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.

I have been there multiple times the staff is always nice the food was always delicious and they play music at a low volume so if you want you could talk to someone or if your by yourself you can just listen to the music. They are definitely kid friendly. Overall I definitely recommend going here.

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.

Excellent service, deserved every penny of the tip. Pulled chairs out on the patio so we could eat with our dog and even made sure he had water. Very lovely service. Unfortunately, the food, while delicious, is a bit pricey--but what isn't these days.
