Boscos Diner — Restaurant in Victorville

In all honesty, I wasn't that impressed with this place. I did like the small, friendly ambience. I have no real complaints with the food either, though my kids and I all had breakfast items - which isn't hard to do. The only real issue I had was with the service. Everybody in there is middle-aged and older women - which, itself, doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I'd like to think older servers are likely to also be more experienced. But that didn't seem to be the case here. One of my kids asked for Dr Pepper, but the server was stuck on the idea of him wanting Coca Cola, for reasons unknown. I think she had to be told 3x that one kid wanted Coca Cola and the other wanted Dr Pepper before she got it right. When the same kid later wanted his Dr Pepper refilled, another server again got stuck on the idea of him wanting Coca Cola, and needing to be corrected more than once before she and my son were on the same page with what he wanted.

Another minor annoyance with the service was the fact my toast was put in front of one of my kids instead of me. Asking who had the toast first, then putting it in the correct spot the first time works wonders. One of the toast pieces was cut diagonally, but not right in half like you'll normally see done at most restaurants. It was more like 2/3 and 1/3 pieces. It seems petty, but it's easier to get equal amounts of jelly on both halves when they're both cut to the same size. The other piece of toast had evidence of somebody attempting to slice it, but it wasn't actually cut in half. If the preparer is going to be that lazy and careless, why bother even trying to slice it in the first place? Just give me two regular pieces of toast like I do for myself when I'm at home.

Last minor annoyance with the service was the fact the server was more focused on policing up our used plates and silverware than on taking care of our payment when my card was already sitting on the table waiting to be able to pay. It's only a few minutes difference in time spent there, but attention or inattention to smaller details like that make a difference between getting a bigger tip or a smaller tip, and also between convincing me to want to come back or not at all. In this case, I just wasn't impressed enough to be convinced that I'd want to come back.

As for Thai food...I love Thai food, and am curious to know how that part of their menu is. But my wife and I have long had a strong preference for Thai Lotus, near the corner of Bear Valley Rd and Hesperia Rd, over any other other Thai restaurant in the area that we've tried. I've been to numerous Thai restaurants over the years, and Thai Lotus is actually my favorite of all of them. Considering that, I just wasn't impressed enough with the food or service at Bosco's to even want to take the time to give their Thai food a chance when I already know I'll regularly get great food and service from a different Thai...

My first time here, I waited a reasonable amount of time for my meal. I ordered 2 shrimp fried rice, one with pineapple and a fish and chips to go, which came to about $33.00. The older woman who took my order was very nice as well as the young lady who handed me my food but when I reached for some ketchup that was placed out in a bucket infront of me, an older man yelled at me. Stating that he had given me enough ketchup and next time to ask. I was shocked! I told him that he was kinda rude and his reaction was like, oh ok. The only reason i didn't ask for my money back was because my grandmother was with me and she was hungry. When we got home the food was delicious but I couldn't help but wonder if i wasn't a young black woman would that man have felt comfortable yelling at me in such a way... A lady who just spend $30+ dollars in your establishment couldn't get extra condiments without being belittled...I really think it was...

My Wife and I go to breakfast almost every week, and found this place on maps and had to try it. It was relatively easy to find even though it is tucked back into the strip mall. On entry, the environment was warm, inviting and smelled of fresh food being prepared. The server welcomed us with a friendly "Hi, welcome and please sit anywhere", which was nice because we got a window seat. The tables had condiments arranged neatly, and ready for use. I really like that the restaurant had hand sanitizer on every table. The food was ordered within 5 minutes of sitting there, and drink were taken at the same time. The food came out in less than 10 minutes and was cooked to satisfaction, and tasted very good. The coffee cups were never empty and the server was very friendly and attentive. Overall, I would say this was a great experience. Would...
