Valley View Casino has a wonderful all-you-can-eat buffet. Too bad the buffet is misrepresented inside the casino by deceitful and money hungry bunch of owners. All over the casino are signs promoting the lunch buffet for $10, but the lunch buffet is not $10 (it's $19.98 pp) I was told I did not qualify for the $10 buffet for some reason. reluctantly, we paid our money and took our chances.
The buffet is actually pretty good. There is a good selection of food, fruit, salad and side dishes available They even have sushi! I saw no seafood or lobster as advertised, but the roast beef was pretty good..There's also a big selection of cakes, pies, tarts and other desserts, even ice cream.
Five stars for the buffet, Negative 3 stars for the false, deceitful and fraudulent advertising around the casino. We shall not return. Ever.

Thank you Trip Advisor reviewers! Our family loved our dinner at Cenote Grill! They do not take reservations, so we had a 25 minutes wait for a table. Food was well above average Mexican fare and portions were so large that we all brought half of our meals home!
The restaurant sign isn’t well lit at night, so use a GPS!
3. The Cafe at Harrah's Rincon

The Cafe at Harrah's isn't your typical casual dining restaurant! The Cafe cooks up delicious meals at all hours and is open day and night to serve the early -birds, the night-owls and everyone in between. This comfortable, casual dining spot features international and California comfort food at its best. For breakfast enjoy a light continental breakfast or a hearty breakfast like Steak and Eggs. For lunch you can try light fare like the Chicken Caesar Salad or hearty sandwiches like the French Dip. Dinner favorites include Prime Rib, Chicken Fajitas or Fish and Chips. The Cafe is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No reservations required.

Over a three-night stay at Harrah's, we ate here several times because the resort is in the middle of nowhere, and guests are pretty much a captive audience. I understand the need for a go-to restaurant here, but it was pretty mediocre foodwise. The servers were uniformly pleasant and eager to please, but the food, not so much. Kind of an odd menu, with some kind of twist on most of the basics, not necessarily for the better. I love a Monte Cristo sandwich and have ordered them many times in many restaurants - this was not made according to the normal template, and it wasn't very good. My husband's grilled cheese was just weird, and not in a good way. You get the idea - they need a revamp of both their menu and their culinary skills. I know this is a common problem at captive audience hotels, but there were other food establishments in the hotel that did a much better job - whoever oversees food and beverage for the hotel needs to start an overhaul of this one immediately.

If you’re in for a big,delicious donut you have to go to Peterson’s.I have been married for 38 yrs.and Peterson’s has been there all this time.They have cream donuts,plain,jelly donuts but I think what makes them so different is there gigantic size.They taste fresh so that’s know issue,so if you are in Escondido and would like a good tasting donut drive on over to Peterson’s Donuts and enjoy .
6. The Yellow Deli

Stopped at the little roadside Yellow Deli after visiting the Keys Creek Lavender Farm. In fact, use the Yellow Deli on your GPS to locate the Lavender Farm! Otherwise, you'll never find the Lavender Farm.
The Yellow Deli has an interesting story. It's operated by a religious commune that lives and works together . The kitchen is a Food Truck parked next to a wood building with INDOOR seating and OUTDOOR seating . The building looks custom made & hand built, like a farm house. There are porta-potties on the premises.
Once you get your mind around the unusual eating establishment, the LUNCH menu is pretty typical: sandwiches, salads, 1 chili soup, chips, Pickles . There's even PB & J for kids. A BREAKFAST menu is also offered. The PRICES are inexpensive. I had a large ORGANIC salad with cashews, cubed Harvarti cheese, craisins, mixed greens & served with a thick slice of raisin bread for $8. The organic produce comes from the commune's FARM called MORNING STAR RANCH. My friend had a generous size Reuben sandwich with potato chips.
Good , inexpensive food in a pretty, rustic farm house setting . Give it a try!

I ate at the Buffet tonight. It was disappointing. The food was only a video for quality on average. The quality of the ingredients seems good, but the dishes are rather bland and there was nothing over-the-top delicious. The sushi for example had too much rice and limited selection. The New England clam chowder, for example, was way too thick and needed more clam. Waitstaff were friendly and attentive. They need more selection for the price. There was no stand-out dish. The decor is nice.

At Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens, we endeavor to use as much in-season, locally and organically grown produce as possible. It's about much more than freshness and sustainability. Local, organic food--fresh from local growers AND our own farm to your table--simply tastes better and is better for you. Combine those benefits with our expansive gardens, our indoor and outdoor 32-tap beer systems and select wines and you've got a dining experience to satiate your--body, mind and soul.

Trip Advisor reviews are spot on! This restaurant had beautiful patio and modern, attractive dining room. Our group can recommend the duck tacos, brats and ‘quick kraut’, Asada steak, and pasta with the pork. We all shared the pretzels with mustard as an appetizer...light and not chewy...terrific!
The only negative is the outside signage...there isn’t one!!! Stone brewing was very difficult to find...use your GPS! Even as we left, a car pulled up and asked us if this was the brewery bistro ;-).

Have driven past this place a million times, always seems jam packed, which is a good thing. Went at an off time (1:30pm on a Monday) missed the rush and had an enjoyable meal. It's a rib place, however I wasn't in the mood for that, given they had trout on the menu. Had the trout, which was good, not super, but quite good. The soup of the day was lobster bisque an it was AWESOME! served piping hot and quite yummy! Server was quite attentive, always checking for drinks needing refreshed and cleaning away used plates, etc. I'd go back.. next time I need to try the ribs!
