Antique Row Cafe Reviews

Great food, awesome service! The desserts are incredible and a must have!

Had the bacon, eggs and pancakes this morning. Nice seating area's and friendly service.

Pos owner. Went into this place, ordered my food, quality was subpar and when I asked for a new item he came out and had a horrible attitude. Def do not eat here.

Huge portions. Busy place. Disappointed in last meal because hash browns were burnt to a crisp.

If you live in San Diego, you already know about Antique Row. Friendly staff, delicious comfort food favorites. Food is prepared hot and gets to the table quick. Chicken fried steak and eggs is always my go to. Large portions and great prices. This was my Saturday morning haunt when I lived in S.D. You mighy even spot Shotgun Tom Kelly having breakfast there.

The restaurant's walls are decorated with memorabilia, it looks really cool. The food is great too, I always get the Chicken Fried Chicken. The portions are crazy, I always end up taking it home. Desert is good too. It's a fun place to eat.

Omg
YOU MUST TRY THIS SPOT. First off the decor is way cool. One could walk around looking at all the stuff for a hour. Oh, and the food...the FOOD! It's all so good. I have a hard time deciding what to get. There's no wrong pick here. Great food at a good price. Oh let's not forget the staff. They're awesome too. Always so friendly! And they work as a team, I find that super important. One of the best places in San Diego.

This is one of our favorite breakfast places! We are from Texas and the Chicken Fried Chicken is the best we ve ever had. Also the pancakes, waffles and hash browns are amazing. We normally eat keto and they have hot links that aren t on the menu typically but are sooo good! The portions here are huge and I think this place might be San Diego s best kept secret. Do yourself a favor and come here.

Go there for their corned beef breakfast in particular. All of their servings are huge so generally split it with my husband. His favorite is the sausage gravy over biscuits

The food serving was huge and the service is outstanding.

Frosted flakes French toast, they ran out of bananas so I ended up getting strawberries but they were canned in syrup and not fresh so they were all mushy and soggy. Not a great choice, the French toast was ok, not all that and not worth the price. If I go again I will order regular French toast, hopefully they don't run out of bananas.

Want a give 5 start because the food is exelente steak and eggs the best in town but the service its ok

You want a lot of food with great family service then this is your type of place.

Cafe food and the atmosphere at this place is great. i've had nothing but pleasant experiences here and plan to keep coming back.

Great breakfast! The Monterey Potato Cakes are my favorite!

Great food and great service. This fun diner is always a treat to go to. The staff is always supper friendly and fun. And if you go enough times like we do they make you fell like part of the family or a celerity. Food is always good and huge portions.

Had the California Benedict. Large portions and the Hollandaise was superb. Friendly service as well. We'll be back.

Always delicious, generous portions and good atmosphere. Prices are reasonable for the quantity and quality of the food. Parking may be difficult to find but it s worth a little walk. The cinnamon rolls are a must.

I do just love this place. I had the chicken club. It was a breast and I thought it would be sliced.it was very good. I just wanted delish meat. I will alwAys come here for the breakfast

Great place for breakfast. We got there banana bread French toast and no French toast will ever compare. Life changing. Lots of food, great service, good atmosphere, will return.

Scrumptious, mouthwatering , delicious eats and a bonus was all the cool memorabilia on the walls.

By far the best sausage gravy in San Diego. Their biscuits N gravy is on a whole another level and I thought Cinnabon had the best cinnamon rolls, NOPE! The staff is super friendly, the portions are big and the food is seriously delicious. I'd suggest ordering the chicken friend chicken with a cinnamon roll on the side.

This is your classic favorite greasy spoon time machine. The decor is oldies goldies with Elvis, Marilyn and more on the walls. Proud Steeper fans too. But you really come here for the food, and the glorious gigantic cinnamon rolls and sticky buns. I love their Monte Cristo.

Great tasting food and great atmosphere. Mariam our waitress was excellent.

Great place for breakfast/brunch. Our server was very attentive and friendly. My brother said the following: she is the first server to bring extra napkins without asking her to! That says a lot. This was our favorite spot during out short stay in San Diego.

Great staff, very good food, a bit pricey but the portions are big enough to share

Awesome local food. We are visiting and loved this place. The service was super friendly and breakfast was delicious!

Great food extra special owners and waitresses. Always enjoyable.

Authentic and quality food with huge quantities. Love the pancakes and chicken fried chicken

I was super disappointed in my meal from antique row cafe. I was at an outdoor event and was looking for something easy to hold and eat. I ordered the club sandwich that came on French roll. I got a messy club style 3 layers of wheat bread sandwich that was hard to eat, made with low quality ingredients. I also got the fries that were obviously frozen and not cooked. They were white and cold on the inside. What a waste of money!

Finding a family friendly breakfast spot while in SD was made easy here. Great food and decor. Kids menu offered a good variety of choices. Friendly staff. Arrived early and avoided the crowd and wait. Looking forward to our future visits when it town. I suggest the biscuits and gravy. Be sure to check the board for the daily specials.

Great food & very friendly service. In addition to good food, they also have a fairly extensive breakfast and dinenr menu. I went on Monday morning, so there was no crowd. A nice area, and reasonably priced.

Cool place. Good food and great prices.

Huge potions. Interesting menu items. Breakfast served all day. Always loved that feature.

I ordered chicken Fried chicken. Nice and tender, perfectly crisp chicken cutlet. Served huge slab of crisp hash brown.

I had a bit of a time to kill. No one bothered me as I hung out for over an hour as I waited for someone to finish up some paperwork nearby.

Did I mention they have good service too.

Is the most delicious breakfast in the area. A must! 100% guarantee. You will leave the place with a happy tummy and a happy heart.

Great food..Great service..cant find a better breakfast !!

If you haven't been here you need to! This place serves some seriously good food and the service is just as good if not better! Gotta get here early to get the biscuits which are the BEST in town!

Excellent food, excellent service and great relaxed atmosphere. All the staff are very friendly and attentive. One of my favorite breakfast spots.

Stopped by on a whim and couldn't be happier. Upbeat staff made me feel welcomed and their early bird menu if a good value. Scrambled eggs cooked with bacon and pancakes are simple and delicious. Next time a want to try the Lumber jack breakfast though!

Ate here for the first time today, the food was delicious and abundant! Our waitress, Debbie, was friendly , efficient and had a great sense of humor! Our group had a great time looking at all the nostalgic memorabilia. We plan on going back soon!

Love this place! The staff is great, kitchen is fast. Warning: they are not stingy with the portions here - you'll be leaving with leftovers unless you're really hungry. And the biscuits are the best - get there early before they run out!

I went to breakfast here and enjoyed my Eggs Benedict; that's my go to dish when trying a new restaurant. Nice sized portions. Good quality ingredients and everything tasted great. My guests had scrambled eggs w/potatoes, biscuits w/ gravy, french toast with bacon & eggs.
Restaurant had a cool old school vibe. Located right off Adam's Ave.

Good food and service in a relaxed atmosphere. Brunch is my favorite meal here.

The service is fast! I love the real diner food compared to other diners in the area.

Best breakfast place in North Park area
Mario is the big boss of the entire antique row
Definitely will return

I recommend the breakfast croissant. Get ready for plenty of food in an atmosphere that brings you back to the fifties!

Great biscuits and gravy even if their prices are a bit on the high side.

Food is delicious but the service over the top as always , I feel like home

This is my favorite place to eat for brunch. Great food, great staff. Chicken fried chicken, potato cake, eggwhites with cheese, and mimosas. Brilliant!!!!

So freakin good.. and the service is awesone. Get the biscuits and gravy. Best I have had since leaving Texas. Mad so full I could not finish it all.

ARC is a must have when I'm home for any reason...! Quality, quantity, and did I mention quality....I found this place back in 96 from an old shipmate that went by the name "Nally".... god rest in peace ol salt. Dude knew his grub and this place was close to his heart. So grateful for the introduction to some of the best breakfast in SD....

Stopped in for first time, had the country fried steak. Good chow.

Antique Row Cafe on Adams Ave is the absolute best restaurant in this area. The food is always great, large portions, very good prices and wait a minute, the employees are the best... fun, lively, smiles, prompt service. The owner, Mario and his wife are both exceedingly friendly. The interior is packed with style from 50's and 60'! Beautiful place and very popular often having long line.

Haven't been in years because moved out of town. What a pleasant surprise to return to find everything is still awesome: the people and the food. Could not have been a better experience. I loved the California omelet, absolutely delicious. Great servers and fast food delivery. Quaint nostalgic atmosphere will bring you back for more. A must try!

They have the best breakfasts, my favorite is the Betty Boop, which are two Cinnamon rolls covered in delicious whip cream and strawberries with eggs and potatoes on the side, it's delicious along with some hazelnut coffee!!!

Fabulous food, lovely staff, you won't leave hungry

Pros: The food feels really homemade and the biscuits are amazing. You get a solid amount of food. The service is fast, albeit impersonal. (I couldn't care less about friendliness, I just want efficiency).

Cons: It's too much for food I could make.

I wish there were half star ratings as this would be a 3.5. I usually reserve 4 stars for places I would go out of my way to visit and 5 stars for great-for-the-price food.

I had the vege scrambler. The eggs and veges were about right. It was made well enough, but it's also something I could do. If food is going to be $12, it should be something I can't do as I infrequently make scrambled eggs. If this were a bit cheaper, I would regularly come here.

The potatoes didn't have too much seasoning and were just potato-y. Not bland, per se. Better than Hash House, but not as good as The Cottage.

If you're in the area, try it, but it's not worth going out of your way for. It's also too expensive to go to regularly for normal wage earners.

This place is really great! From the second I walked in, the staff was SUPER friendly and helpful. Alli was delightful and got us set in a spot on the back patio. We had a couple of Antique and some wine and everything was delicious. Good prices, too. Definitely going to come back!!!!

Service was exceptional during Covid-19 scare & precautions taken.
Loved looking at the decor!
The food was great and the portions large!
