Budget Cafe — Restaurant in San Luis Obispo

Was recommended this place so I had to try it while in area.. Place was pretty empty when I dropped in about 1pm I originally ordered thee open faced turkey sandwich, it was horrible! It was a slice of bread warm turkey deli meat & thee most salty gravy ever !!! Had to send it back tasted like I was licking a salt rock 🤢 tried to send it back immediately however waitress didnt circle back to check on me for over 20min she finally came & I let her know its not edible its over salted. Ordered a cold sandwich instead well the bread was stale falling apart 🙃 so sandwich was broken to peices with every bite !! Gave up.. packed the rest to go ! An hour in by this time & I was over the wait , getting a box was even a long wait .. Fries were good & so was the water ... Would I return??? Probably not 👎🏻although it was a quiet little local café service & food needs lots of improvement! I still paid & tipped for my food even though the experience I had there wasn't good . Maybe lunch menu isn't their...

A $15 omelette that I wish I had just declined as soon as I saw the pre-sliced “Cheese”...

One of my favorite places to go for a good old fashioned breakfast. My wife and I have been eating here for years. The service staff is always friendly, the food is tasty and the serving size is large. The Budget has all the normal favorites for breakfast, and I can recommend any of them, had them all over the years. They do have a couple of outside tables and on a warm morning it is pleasant to sit outside. There is the morning newspaper for those that still like to read newsprint. The parking lot has accessible parking for free and the entrance is accessible. There is an accessible bathroom, but it is a little tight to get to and a little small. For a good old fashioned breakfast at a local cafe that has been here for years, you can't beat the...
