- Rodolfo's Cucina Italiana
- Steer 'n Stein Restaurant
- Early Bird Cafe
- Abby's Cafe Hemet
Los Vaqueros Cantina & Grill is simply the best place around for an authentic Mexican meal in a homey, truly “south of the border” atmosphere, and at a reasonable price.
Rodolfo's Cucina Italiana is a small casual Italian Eatery offering table service, take out, family specials and catering services.
Steer ‘n Stein was founded out of necessity on October 27, 1967 in Huntington Beach, California. I was unemployable, needed a job and place to eat, so I created all these for myself. It continues to exist today because the necessity still exists. Steer ’n Stein in Huntington Beach is no longer, but has branched out into locations throughout Southern California. Steer ‘n Stein was created without direction… some kind of dream… no recipes… and no money. Many, many years later we still have some kind of menu… no recipes… and lots of credit.
Early Bird Cafe in Hemet, California serves old time breakfast, such as Classic Egg Benedict and Corned Beef Hash & Egg. They also offer wraps, sandwiches, and melts.
Ben and Kelly wanted to create a place that families and locals could come and enjoy breakfast. After finding a suitable location in the East end of town, they completely renovated the space to be clean, bright and inviting. Business slowly progressed and expanded hours and Dinner options were added after the first year. After 6 years in Hemet, an opportunity to create a second Abby's Cafe presented itself in Yucaipa. Ben and Kelly jumped at the opportunity to mirror the operation after the first restaurant, focusing on a clean and friendly place that people can visit several times a week.
