Came in at about 5pm on a Sunday after driving by it multiple times and decided I had to check it out. No line, empty restaurant which easily became packed at every table by the time I finished my meal at 6pm. Opted for the chicken fried steak which came with soup (changes daily), or salad, dinner roll or cornbread, and choices of sides. The soup and dinner roll came out first, very hot and enjoyable. Not even 5 minutes after I finish those two the main entree comes out, packed plate and I couldn't finish but the food was very flavorful and everything well cooked. Prices are identical to what you expect to pay at a comfortable sit down restaurant, would easily recommend coming here if you're in the area.

A great diner of the Greek variety. All the food I've had has been very good, except for the biscuits and gravy where the gravy was just pasty and tasteless though the biscuits were excellent. I usually get a cheeseburger. They're large and cooked to the doneness I ask for (medium rare). Staff are helpful and friendly. Prices are reasonable. Bathrooms are clean. There's a warm feeling to the place. It's become a regular for me.

Definitely a great place to experience a little bit of historical Fallbrook, in my opinion. Had a delicious roast beef sandwich! Very tasty 😋

I love little local diners just like Fallbrook Cafe. The establishment was very clean , the seats wiped, the counter were immediately cleaned after a patron left . The 3 female hostess were genuinely nice and made sure i had everything i needed.The stainless steel appliances did not have grease buildup and were shined . I ordered the Country Fried Steak as usual with my eggs over medium, hash brown and sourdough toast. The toast was perfect , nice crunchy liner with a soft middle. The eggs were a bit undercooked for my liking but they did just fine. The hash brown were hot , crunchy , moist and soft all the right textures. Finally the Country Fried Steak it was good but would really like to see a HOMEMADE steak prepared. I know this was a premade frozen steak because the steak and batter separated as individual parts. I still give this establishment an A+ . If the owner is reading this please just do homemade Country Fried Steak especially if you are going to charge 16.99 for the meal.

Flavor: A Service: B Tea: A Solo dining: A We only tried two restaurants in Fallbrook but this was definitely the star! I took our server’s recommendation of the French toast and I was not disappointed. Perfectly cooked and flavorful. The bacon was crispy, the sausage was delicious, and my eggs were spot-on over-medium. Our server was a little swamped but still took pretty good care of us. I’d go back here on every visit!

We cleaned our plates! Fallbrook Cafe feels like we want back in time. The food tastes like it was freshly made... from scratch! Our server is very attentive. She checked on us quite a few times, and another server refilled our coffee without needing to look or ask for her to do so. We genuinely appreciated their quality of service and the savory porkchops, including the corned beef hash.

Absolutely phenomenal! Fallbrook Café knocked it out of the park. I ordered the Hobo Omelet and it was next-level-loaded with flavor, perfectly cooked, and paired with crispy, golden hash browns that brought the perfect crunch in every bite. And the coffee? Wow. Rich, smooth, and honestly one of the best cups I've had at any breakfast spot-hands down. You can tell they really care about quality here. The staff was warm, welcoming, and on point, and to top it all off, parking was super easy (which is always a win). This place checks all the boxes and then some. If you're anywhere near Fallbrook, do yourself a favor and stop by -you won't regret it!

After a hike we decided to stop at this diner. We were welcomed in, seated and helped right away. The food was presented well and was good. The place looked clean. Restroom available. Prices are a bit higher than usual for a diner. Veggie options available and plenty of parking. Employees were nice. Plenty of food options.

I had the Mushroom chicken sandwich. The chicken was seasoned with a slight rosemary flavor. The mushrooms were done and added a great flavor. The Swiss was melted into the sandwich giving it a good cohesive blend. You valet a variety of choices for the side. I got home fries O'Brien. The service was spot on and friendly. There was 10 in our party and everything was great.
