We utilized this location both before we went into the park and before our long drive home. It's barely 5 minutes from the Safari Park. Mall parking, so I'm not sure it's as good an idea during holiday shopping, but Panera is a predictable place to eat with adults and kids and at a price that won't put families out. Great seating, both indoor and out and friendly staff.

I guess, if you are into fried catfish, this is the place to go. But if you are not, you're out of luck. There is virtually nothing on the menu that's healthy eating. Place looks beat up and down, plastic tablecloth worn off and unappealing. Choice of beer very limited. I am not going back.**

Besides being a small cute 50s diner on the corner across from Graybill Urgent Care and having cute sandwich names, I am in love with the Mickey Mouse Club with avocado added. Their fries are automatically seasoned I think and are delicious. I always look forward to this meal when I am in the area. Other sandwiches are also loved by my colleagues. Delicious all three times so far!

I tried Rosie's Cafe after the Restaurant Impossible aired. At first glance, the place is cute and updated. After being seated, I noticed the floor is not clean, the sugar holders on each table were dirty and the plastic bowl with the individual creamers was cracked . The menu was different than the first two times I had eaten there. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito, both of which were delicious. The food presentation could have used some color like a slice of orange. We asked for some fresh pico de gallo and it was old. . . mushy tomatoes and yellowing onions. As we sat there looking at their dirty floor, I couldn't help but wonder how clean the kitchen might be. On the show, it was the cleanliness that was emphasized the most. If things don't improve, I will not be back.

Very small eatery. We had a veggie panini and the broccoli cheddar soup. Both were delicious but really wished there was more to/on the sandwich: some spinach, sun dried tomatoes, and some cheese. For $8.95 it was fairly expensive for what you got. The soup was amazing. The Arnold Palmer drink was great too. The staff/owners were super friendly and nice. Everything tasted homemade and fresh. We would eat here again.

Why I haven't stopped in here before...I don't know....but I will be back. Excellent food choices....like smoked brisket to die for or pulled pork. Large salads, great daily soups, local craft beers and a good wine list. Menu for the kiddos also....and their chicken nuggets are real chicken breast meat! Indoor and outdoor patio seating available! They have a Happy hour on Tuesdays through Thursday.

Sort of a greasy spoon type place, kind of a hidden gem. Showed up on Sunday about 10 and was seated immediately. Great service, good price. Had the grilled Kielbasa with eggs and it was good.

This place reminded me of all the 50s diners I frequented as a kid with all the familiar dishes.For old timeâs sake I ordered the Hot Beef Sandwich, open faced white bread, heaps of thin sliced beef smothered in brownish/black gravy, like canned Franco-American, with mashed potatoes. It tasted pretty much the way I remembered it. Definitely not gourmet, but tasty and filling. My husband ordered the Patty Melt and said it was the best heâd had in a while. The fries werenât anything to write home or TripAdvisor about, but the coleslaw was quite good. It had a light dressing on it that wasnât sweet or goopy.The ambiance is nice and definitely friendly. The servers are all gracious and welcoming. The place had a number of regulars the servers called by name. I thought it was lovely.The location is a little bit off the beaten path, but it is obviously a locals kind of place that people love. We would eat here again.

Just enjoyed Friday night dinner. We both started with mimosas, then French onion soup and chicken cordon bleu. Absolutely delicious ample portions. We barely had room for chocolate pastries for dessert, but we managed! Parking available behind the restaurant. If we ever return to Escondido, we would definitely look forward to eating there again.
