Ramona Cafe (Breakfast)

Thanks for stopping by to read mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog.  Today's post (again, written by Cathy) takes you a bit inland of this 4200 square mile County.

The Mister and I found ourselves in Ramona one morning, saw cars parked on Main Street and knew that we should stop.    (FYI, there is parking and an entrance from the alley)
 The breakfast menu is on one page; lunch on the flip side.  Our friendly waitresses were familiar with just about every patron on this weekday.  (I did not notice the top left corner; next time).
 The Mister ordered the Farmer's Omelet ($12.50) with home fries- and was asked if he wanted onions with the home fries(!).  Hash browns were not an option (which is nice; limited menu) and the fresh, cubed potatoes were crisped and nicely browned.
 The three egg omelet was filled with cheddar cheese and ground breakfast sausage, topped with sausage gravy and more cheese.  A large amount of mild breakfast sausage which went well with the eggs and (mild) gravy.  We ended up adding pepper to the sausage halfway through. 
 Of course, the only 'bread' that The Mister could consider ordering with this particular omelet was a fresh baked biscuit.  (There is also a choice of toast or English muffin).
 The tall, fluffy-interiored, crisp crusted biscuit was quite large and arrived with its own container of honey.  A different type of hand made biscuit, which we shared.
 I decided to order the California Eggs Benedict ($13.50) (a traditional Eggs Benedict with tomato and avocado for an additional $1).
 Nice amount of thicker cut smoked ham on top of a toasted English muffin topped with the avocado and tomato, a light-medium poached egg and house made hollandaise (not very lemon-y but a perfect consistency).  

Another Covid-19 survivor.  We will be back.

Breakfast is served all day, Soo, and the choices are interesting. This was one of the first Dining-Drive Ins and Dives projects (2007) and it is good to see their success and ability to survive during Covid-19. The lunch/dinner menu is a bit condensed but has something for everyone.
Ah, yes, Peter-onions have been a sore point for decades with The Mister and myself. (At In-n-Out, he gets none while I order all three versions but no cheese).
Eggs Benedict seems 'special' anyhow, but the addition of avocado and tomato just made this breakfast even more special, Kat.

Nice to see homemade biscuits and also all day breakfast. Yes, when you see lots of cars, you must stop (especially if they are mail trucks).

There's always a clue and always a reason The Mister and I find places, cc. The food was impressive and we will try more of the menu.
