Pauma Bay Cafe - San Diego County

We went here for the 2 for $20 prime rib Thursday deal. Choose from soup or salad 10oz prime rib potatoes seasonal veggies.. all for $10pp but it's a 2 for $20. What a deal! The soup we got was cream of mushroom and it was good. The temperature was perfect with good flavor. One of the issues we had was the service was very slow. We got seated at 4:08pm, we got our soup at 4:20pm, but our prime rib dinner didn't get to our table until 4:49pm. Another issue was our prime ribs were overcooked. We ordered medium rare and we got medium well. It was tasty but dry to us because it was overcooked. I seriously expected it would be a very nice dinner but it was not. I really wanted to like this restaurant because it was awesome when it was a buffet but right now it's not the same.

You can't beat the specials here. $6.99 steak and egg breakfast is tasty and great for the price! My favorite it the 2 for $20 prime rib on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it's really a surprisingly nicely served meal- decent slab of prime rib, vegetables and baked potato with a fresh baked muffin... can't beat it for the price. The buffet is decent if you can take the crowd!

2 for 1 prime rib is the best deal ever! Raquel my server gave me a 5star service experience. Food was perfect and I can definitely say I will be coming back soon as long as Raquel is my server!

The lemon curd pancakes are delicious but not what I expected. The menu says they come with Raspberries and lemon curds however there are no lemon curds and only 2 Raspberries. Very deceiving but yummy. Ask for extra sauce.

All you can chicken is delicious. Lots of flavor. The 2 for $20 prime rib is okay. I went there late and it was served cold. However, the bread roll was the best I ever had. I need that recipe. I was always staying at Harrah's Casino and will definitely make this short drive to eat. Save a lot of money on food
