The quaintness of Antique Row Cafe is derived from an accumulation of, well, antiques. Everywhere, there are pictorial and material reminders of days gone past. Photos of famous actors, sports stars and musicians of yesteryear; memorabilia; antique toys and just the overall feeling of an old roadside diner gets people out of their wireless, techno lifestyles and eased into a relaxing meal of classic American fare.

"The Row" is a popular breakfast stop, especially on weekends, when you should be ready for a wait. All the traditional breakfast favorites, such as Denver omelets, are on the menu, as well as some fun alterations like cinnamon apple pancakes. There are also some vegetarian dishes to appease the progressive San Diegan crowd. Vegetable scramblers (or tofu scramblers for the ovo-objector) are healthy delights. Although the restaurant has a bit of a diner feeling, the quality is a nice couple steps up from any greasy spoon. Portions are large, well-prepared and well-presented.

    This seems to be a pretty great place (I've only eaten here once). Everyone is VERY friendly and the food is good, priced right and the portions are quite generous

    Very nice place, quite a surprise! Nice to sit outdoors and people-watch, and the food was good and original (I had pumpkin pancakes with warm applesauce), and portions big. Glad there's one in El Cajon, too, since we are moving to that area!

    This is one of those places the locals frequent and for good reason: Good food, large portions and a friendly staff. Weekends are busy so arrive early. Diverse crowd.
