Not that there no other places, but this one is the best. We have not been there for anything other than breakfast and don't even know if they are open for dinner. The breakfasts themselves are great with plenty of food and bottomless cups of coffee. We stop here everytime we are in Borrego Springs. The food is good, plenty... More

My husband and I were in Borrego Springs exploring Anzo Borrego State Park for 4 days, and came here every day for breakfast. The food was great, perfectly cooked. We tried something different each day - bacon, eggs, sausages, French toast, blueberry pancakes, lovely bowl of fresh fruit. The atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming - lots of locals and...

Reasonable price. One of our group ordered ham with his breakfast. It was a huge slice. Be sure to check Kendall's out. More

The people who work here make the experience and THE PRICES well worth it. It is a quaint cafe that offers that small town all are welcome feeling. You feel like you just stepped back into the 50's in the town of Mulberry where everyone is family. More

Wow, it sounds great. What did you like about it? Basic diner menu. I like their breakfasts. All you can eat fried fish on Friday is great. Service is usually friendly, but sometimes slow. More

If you find yourself in the desert town of Borrego Springs in the basin of the Anza Borrego Desert in Southern California, plan on having a delicious breakfast at Kendall's in the heart of the town - in the Mall. The blueberry pancakes alone would make the stop worthwhile...fresh blueberries in a very generous pancake! Add to that some fresh... More

I have been eating here for many many years. All the locals swing in & have a bit of a chat. The waitresses and cooks are all old friends but make everyone welcome. Love the club sandwich & very good traditional type breakfasts. Great place to eat in the offseason because you know they turn their food over quickly. A... More
