The 16 best pancakes in Oceanside

Great place to stop for a traditional breakfast. Outdoor seating covered. A little bit of a wait but worth it. Friendly and welcoming service. Plates are full/nice size portions. Their pancakes 🥞 ARE fluffy, you can actually share the short stack (2). The 🥓 bacon and corn beef hash and eggs 🤤. Their vanilla had me 3 cups in (and I'm not a coffee ☕ drinker).

One of the better breakfast options in Oceanside. Located right on HWY 101 it’s not very far from the ocean and carries that casual, beachy feel to the restaurant. It’s quite large on the inside with many different sitting areas as well as covered outdoor seating, which is where we sat for our breakfast. There is a large free parking lot in back so parking was really easy. Our waiter was also very polite and the service was very fast. Only downside was we had to wait about 30 mins to be seated for a party of 4 for our Saturday morning brunch. For my first visit I chose the Santa Fe Scramble and loved it. The chorizo was perfectly spicy and it was a large sized portion. I opted for the free Coffee Cake on the side and thought it was one of the best Coffee Cakes that I have had in a very long time. It was moist and full of cinnamon flavor and the glaze on top was warm and just mixed so well with it. I would not miss it! Overall a great breakfast spot. I don’t drive up to Oceanside often but next time I do I would definitely consider eating here again and would recommend to anyone else in the area.

Had the best bonding time with my granddaughter today! We enjoyed a lovely breakfast together 🥞🍳🍽️☕😋🥓. The beach vibes of the restaurant were just delightful! Our server, Kelly, was super friendly and really engaged with us. We definitely had a wonderful and filling breakfast!

After a 20 min wait we sat outside on patio. Quaint surf beach cafe setting. Friendly and efficient service. I had a very delicious omelette with perfectly crisp hash brown potatoes. The coffee cake was light but a bit on the sweet surgery side.

Great spot for breakfast or early lunch. The food is delicious, the menu is large, but not overbearing, and the service was attentive and friendly. The coffee cake was outstanding, as was my meal. My eggs and sausage were cooked perfectly. I love the So-Cal surfing/skateboarding theme to the inside of the restaurant. There is pictures,articles, and memorabilia hung to observe and read to keep you occupied while you wait. It was busy but the turnover was fast and while eating I didn't feel rushed by waitstaff.

Very loud atmosphere, have to talk at a elevated level to be able to hear who’s sitting across from you. Wasn’t too amazed by the food, it wasn’t bad just nothing spectacular. would definitely come here if you have friends or family that like a more simple food.

This was our first visit here and we loved it . The atmosphere is definitely awesome . Skateboards , surfboards and tons of photos of surfing as decor , definitely California. Very Clean and staff always made sure coffees full and we had everything we needed. For sure a locals place , it seemed everyone knew each other. Ordered Avocado toast and fruit and I’m pretty picky about my avocado toast this was perfect !!! ABC omelette was ordered as well and it was great . Will definitely be going back .

Incredible experience! The food was bursting with authentic local flavor—everything was absolutely delicious and came in generous portions. The service was top-notch: friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere? Relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a laid-back, satisfying meal. Highly recommend!

What a great place. We loved it. The food is AMAZING!!!! Biscuits and gray are so yuummm. Shrimp omelet was super good. The Salsa has so much flavor. You won't regret any choice. Oh let's not forget pet friendly, so many cute puppers have breakfast. 😄 Thank you to the staff. Everyone is so nice and serve was quick.

Ever take a bite so good that everyone at the table just goes quiet? That was us. Eleven loud, hungry family members, instantly humbled by biscuits and gravy. It was our last morning in Oceanside. We were sunburned, half-packed, and honestly just trying to squeeze in one last good meal before heading home. Don’s Country Kitchen didn’t just give us a good meal. It gave us one of the best moments of the trip. Parking was a bit of a mess. The wait was about 25 minutes. But the second we sat down and the food started hitting the table, every single complaint vanished. Here’s what went down. ⸻ 🍽 Let’s Talk About What We Ate Tuna Melt Golden grilled bread, crisp and buttery on the outside. Inside? Melted cheese and creamy, savory tuna that had real flavor. It was rich, gooey, and comforting in the best way. Everyone wanted a bite. I should’ve ordered two. Strawberry Belgian Waffle Straight up looked like it belonged in a commercial. Fluffy waffle topped with mounds of whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Came with syrup on the side so you could drizzle as much as your sugar-loving heart desired. Breakfast Sandwich Stacked with crispy bacon, cheddar, and fluffy eggs on a toasted English muffin. It had that classic breakfast energy. And the fruit cup that came with it was surprisingly fresh and sweet. Biscuits and Gravy with Fries These biscuits were huge, soft, and soaked in thick sausage gravy that tasted homemade. The gravy was peppery and rich. Fries on the side were crispy and golden. Total comfort food perfection. Omelet with Avocado and Hash Browns A fully loaded omelet topped with fresh sliced avocado. But that hash brown? It was a giant crispy sheet of golden potatoes. Crunchy all the way through. Easily the best hash brown I’ve had in a long time. Eggs Benedict on Roasted Potatoes Poached eggs sitting on top of seasoned potatoes and sautéed spinach. Then came the hollandaise sauce. Rich, smooth, and drizzled just right. They put real care into this one. It wasn’t just breakfast. It was brunch with flair. ⸻ 💥 Stuff We Didn’t Get But Wished We Did We saw the stuffed hash browns go to another table and it nearly broke us. Same with the cinnamon rolls and mimosa flights. Everyone around us looked like they were living their best brunch life. Trust the reviews. These items are worth coming back for. ⸻ 🎯 Service Was On Point Our server was fast, kind, and kept the good vibes going even with a party of 11. No missed orders. No attitude. Just great service from start to finish. ⸻ 🏖 Ambiance Was Pure Oceanside This place feels like a local classic. Cozy inside. Chill outdoor seating. Friendly staff. The kind of spot where regulars bring their dogs and tourists feel like they found a hidden gem. It’s family-owned and you can feel that love in everything they do. ⸻ 🔥 Quick Tips Before You Go • Get there early. The line builds fast and parking is tight. • Do not skip the gravy. • Look around before ordering. You’ll probably change your mind after seeing what other people have on their plates. ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict: One of the Best Brunch Spots in Oceanside Don’s Country Kitchen turned our last vacation meal into one of the best moments of the trip. If you’re in Oceanside and wondering where to eat for breakfast or brunch, this is it. The food is legit. The vibe is warm. The service is on point. Whether you’re local or just passing through, you need this spot in your life. Go order the stuffed hash browns, grab a mimosa, and thank yourself later.

Drove up to Oceanside specifically for this breakfast and we were all happy that we did so. The flavors are great, the portions are large, and the prices are fair. Parking can be a bit tricky because they have a very small parking lot attached in front but only for about four or five cars. Otherwise it will be free street parking. We arrived around 10AM for Saturday brunch and had to wait about 25 minutes to be seated for a party of three. We felt the wait was worth it though. The food items arrived quickly after we ordered and our waitress was very polite. Inside is pretty large and they have indoor and outdoor seating options. For my first visit, I chose my favorite breakfast dish, which is Eggs Benedict and decided to order their Chorizo Benedict. It honestly had some great flavors and was almost spicy but in the perfect way. I really enjoyed it and ate every bit of it and would highly recommend it. I already want to come back and try some more dishes and would definitely consider this one of the better breakfast options in Oceanside.

Dons Country Kitchen has some of the best breakfast in town. The staff is super friendly, the service is quick, and the food is always fresh and delicious. You really cannot go wrong starting your day here and it is definitely our go to spot.

I was told about this place 2 weeks ago and have been 3 times for breakfast. The place is great, the staff is excellent (ask for Krista). Recommend the pork chops or steak and eggs. I'm going to try an omelet next. :) I love the mimosa flights!!

Heard good things about this restaurant from friends and Yelp so we had to try it out. We traveled from Camarillo to Oceanside for a full day of soccer games. Immediately were we greeted by the staff and basically had our choice of tables since it was only 8:30am. Service was prompt and friendly. Blueberry pancakes and the ABC Omelette were fantastic and portions were plentiful. Delicious!! If you’re in the area or passing by, it’s worth the stop. You won’t be disappointed.

We thought we'd try this place for breakfast. We arrived around 8am on the weekend. It wasn't busy when we came in, but it started to fill in around 8:30am. Nice decor and nice atmosphere. Unsure if they just opened, but it seemed like they were short-handed. No one approached us, so we decided to seat ourselves. It looks like there were a few people waiting at the tables to be given menus also. I thought their breakfast special (2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage), but thought it was a little steep $17.95 for just that. I thought I'd try something different and get the egg burrito. For $16.95, it was a pretty big burrito that I was able to share with someone. I would probably get something else next time because my burrito mainly had potatoes. It seemed like I only had 2 small sausages total that was chopped up into it. If it didn't have the sauce on top, I felt the burrito lacked flavor. Overall, it was OK for me. If we happen to go here again, I'll try something different.

The owner said her parents owned this place before and this place has been here for over 60 years.The people are very nice. We got there at 1:20pm (it closes at 2:00) and sat outside. I like sitting outside but the street noises here is too loud with the motorcycles and loud cars. I had the Nutella Crepes (2) with fruit. I told the owner they were good but cold ( likely because the fruit on top was cold) Also there was a white sweet sauce on them- which was not to my taste (or necessary). Mom liked the muscle man scramble and we liked the taste of the mimosas. I liked this place and would go back but probably sit inside. Lots of parking and interestingly there’s a religious Knick Knack store in the patio area.

We decided to try this after all the reviews I read but they had a different experience than we did my husband got the hamburger patty supposed to be medium it was well done the eggs were terrible and too well done and the potatoes were huge and too well done. I had a Chinese chicken salad and it was the most boring salad I've ever had and I've eaten a lot of salads. I got the dressing on the side cuz I was planning on taking it most of it home but I ended up just leaving it there

Both the service and the food were not great. It took a very long time just to order drinks. I ordered the crepe combo. Very disappointing. They were completely flavorless, and didn't even look like crepes. They looked more like pancakes cut up into pieces for a child to eat. When I mentioned this to my waitress she said that's how crepes are supposed to look, I suppose she thought I was that ignorant. Not happy and will not be back.

Had breakfast at Harbor House Café today and loved it! Friendly people, great atmosphere, and the blueberry pancake was awesome. We’ll definitely come back!

My wife loves this place. Diner style food, family owned and been there forever. They have a great specials of the day list on the chalk board when you enter. This Sunday morning, they were packed with customers Check out their menu, but it is the specials that rock. I had the surf and turf eggs Benedict. Had short rib meat and lobster pieces replacing the usual ham. Was excellent. Coffee is good and they do a good job keeping it topped up. Lots of children there too. From families to dining alone, they got you covered. As a side note, this place is next to the Marine base Camp Pendleton. There were lots of marines and their families eating there. Next to us were 3 very young marines. Watching them quietly eat together really touched us. So we anonymously paid their check before we left. We wanted them to know they had our respect.

Easily the most attentive manager I have ever seen. He personally introduces himself and makes sure the other staff know your name. I came in 15 minutes before closing time and was welcomed. The food is homemade and very fresh. There are a variety of seating options, including an enclosed patio. There is also a small souvenir shop. My only complaint is I found literally only one piece of pineapple in my pineapple coleslaw.

Although I don’t usually have breakfast after church today, I was craving pancakes. I decided to try Start Fresh because I live in Oceanside and I drive by it all the time. I was seated very quickly and was quite surprised by the menu. Pretty big selection once I saw the menu, I decided against pancakes because I could go anywhere for those. I chose to get the Texas Style. This meal was biscuits topped with scrambled eggs and gravy your choice of sausage, links or bacon, I chose bacon. I also added Home style potatoes for two dollars. The food was decently priced and tasted really good. One gentleman was walking around greeting everyone after he greeted me. I let him know it was my first time and he sat down at my table and told me about the restaurant. He told me that everything is freshly made in the back and the owner only chooses quality ingredients and meats. You can definitely tell this because the biscuits taste homemade. There was one young man walking around picking up dishes off of the tables, and she was probably the one that was more attentive to me than anybody else. He made sure somebody took my order and when I was done with my meal, he made sure I was given my check Because other than him nobody else came to check up on me. I won’t knock them because of this because it was a pretty busy Sunday morning. I just think he needs to be commended on his great customer service and I made sure to tell the bosses best friend who set up my table this as I was leaving. I’d like to go back and try a salad and perhaps I will.

It was a nice brunch spot to go to on Father's Day. When I arrived, I waited at the podium for a while, the workers saw me and made eye contact, and didn't even say hello. An older Hispanic man made eye contact stood at the doorway and looked into the dining area for a minute, then finally asked if I had been helped. However after asking me, he handed off the responsibility to an older Caucasian man. I found this weird... But oh well. We waited a bit because we had a party of 9. Their systems are very old school. I don't believe anything was digital because right after me another party of 9 showed up. Their name was written down, but mine wasn't. The two older men were trying to set up a table of 9 but one was addressing my party to sit and the other was trying to seat the other party. Luckily I was seated first. The service for drinks was weird... Only 3 people in my party got something other than water and every time the waitress came back she kept asking who got what. We wanted to converse and share stories so to be interrupted multiple times for 3 drinks seemed a bit ridiculous. Other than that service was great! A young man was a waiter. He did a great job. Unfortunately at the end he seemed very busy so we couldn't personally hand him his cash tip. I hope he got it from the lady at the register. The food was good. Nothing incredible, but not bad. I got Iris Stuffed Hashbrowns and my husband got the Breakfast Burrito. The whole table shared the cinnamon roll. I won't list the other foods my party ate. I would have loved a cream cheese frosting for the cinnamon roll, but it was still good. Also the stuffed Hashbrowns had a lot of cheese and bacon. If you like those you'll love that dish. Towards the end of my dish it was too overpowering with bacon and cheese so I stopped eating it altogether. My hubby said his burrito was good. He liked the sausage and bacon in it. However the salsa on the side was bland to him. At the end I got a slice of Chocolate Banana Cream Pie to go. That was tasty. I liked it all. I did wish for more chocolate flavor, but not bad at all 👍🏻

We came here due to the good reviews..I had the breakfast sandwich. It was made very well. And the service was good as well. My wife had to have her meal remade because she found something foreign in her eggs. But they fixed it and made it right. So we did like that they treat customers good. We do recommend and would be back if we lived in the area.

Absolutely amazing! The food is super fresh! The atmosphere is great the staff is wonderful… I would highly recommend this place we had the best breakfast ever… Every plate we saw coming out looked beyond perfect!!! A+A+A+A+A+

PCH diner destination! Everything is scratch made, and I was told the owner sources all of the product they use. The food definitely tastes like some attention was given to it. My chicken was cooked and seasoned perfect, the waffles were great! Drove down to Oceanside thinking about the harbor for breakfast. It was too crowded, an event going on. Ended up cruising down PCH, found this place, turned around, walked in, and walked out happy. Will more than likely be back when I'm in the area again.

Cosy place with great food. It was busy but the service was phenomenal. We never had to wait to have our coffee topped up and the biscuits and home fries were made from scratch. Loved it.

Cinnamon rolls are delicious , country fried steak and eggs , couldn’t finish it. To much food, cleanest most polite place to eat

The breakfast mug was pretty good! Thr food was almost perfect and the staff was amazing. The food options were unique INDEED. There were several fake plants on the shop and made you wonder how real oflr not the place was. I had the MEAL LOVERES omelette. Pretty good. My wife had something, , oh the biscuits and gravy. They were just OKAY. The biscuits were delicious, but the gravy was not great at all. The gravy was sweet, like "added 4 table spoons to the small bowl of gravy sweet". Threw us off and threw off a start for the ol Brekfast Mug. Really wish I could give them a 4.5... you just can't mess up your gravy like that for a breakfast/lunch place. I'll be back for sure. Had alot of stuff on the menu I want to try!! Good hotsauce and homemade sauce. Ok Bye

this place has an exquisite menu of fairly priced gourmet plates. I came in to sample a cold coffee. I got the chai brulee and it was delicious!! I only gave marks down for the atmosphere of tension there was there from staff member.. I do not fault the staff member for whatever higher up management is imposing on them and causing the stress of the employees encountered. everything else 5 stars!!! I appreciate the staff very much for doing the best they can. they deserve star treatment.

The food was a 7/10. The presentation of the coffee cups was poor with stains and it didn’t look very appetizing to drink. The food alone I’d say was not worth the prices. I’m not one to dislike food but I had an upset stomach after eating here. The service was not so great. I didn’t feel much welcomed especially by the gentleman he was very rude and I felt like he didn’t want me there.

Good french toast! A little cold when I got it but beautiful presentation and tasty. Drinks served in cute mason jar mugs

The food was super yummy, but they need more staff as our waiter was doing everything. He was great, but WOW, overwhelmed! Folks must have found out how good the food is here because when we were seated, we were the third party in the establishment...by the time we left, I don't think there was an empty table! The avocado toast with egg on top, ohhh so good!! More staff, if you can, and this rating would be a 10++!!

It's such an amazing little place to eat some great breakfast!!! This place was quiet and there was no wait time when we went! All the food was delicious, I can't wait to go back! Try the breakfast board!!!! It's a must!!!!

We were looking for a new breakfast place to try and this was close to my mom's home. The food was flavorful and very appealing to the eye. We used take out. My only wish is that the house potatoes and potatoes in the breakfast burrito were softer. We cooked them a little jobber and they were perfect. I will definitely visit again, because the flavor was on point!

What a delightful place! When I arrived, Ariana greeted me with such warmth. She took my orders and was super friendly, answering all my questions since it was my first visit. I was pleased to learn they serve James coffee ☕, one of my favorites!

I loved everything about this coffee shop! The relaxed ambiance, our drinks and pastries, the location, all the plants and especially that it is Latin owned!

Stopped by this place because the plants looked so beautiful. I ordered a latte and an jalapeño cheddar bagel and it was good. It’s a great place to chat and chill, or read a book. Love the concept of good coffee in a plant shop, would definitely recommend.

The matcha and bee sting were delicious, and the food was also good. Nice atmosphere with plants all around. I wish they had for-here cups! If you're a plant lover definitely check it out.

Love the vibes at this place. Tons of plants around and plenty of fresh air. I ordered a plain latte. It wasn't really anything special, and I found it to be a bit pricey for what it is, as the hot selection only comes in 12oz for ~$6. Orders also took some time to come out, which wasn't an issue for me, but could be if I was in a rush. Overall would recommend checking this place out, since it is a unique atmosphere and offers a variety of interesting menu options.

I love the Mazapán Latte it's delicious HOT! the white mocha iced is unrealand overall atmosphere is vibrant. With many plants and small gifts!! This is my favorite local coffee spot.

We had a disappointing experience here. Our lattes tasted like nothing more than sweet, warm milk—I couldn’t get any hint of coffee at all. The turkey sandwich was bland, and the cashier was surprisingly rude. As we were about to order, she said, “Do you want it for here? Because we close at 4,” even though it was only 3 p.m.

Great hospitality, the food was delicious. Very laid-back spot.We always come here when for breakfast when we’re in Oceanside. I had the waffle with extra powder sugar and let me tell you the waffle is so moist, you have to try it!

I had breakfast at that restaurant the other day, and honestly, it was the worst experience I’ve ever had. I was really hungry that day, but the meal was so bad that I could barely eat any of it. I only managed to eat about a quarter of what was served, and I was still hungry afterward. First off, when I arrived, nobody even acknowledged me, even though I tried to get their attention multiple times. Once I finally placed my order, the meal arrived, and the bacon I got was terribly overcooked—just bland and unpleasant. Later, someone did come over to ask how everything was, and I mentioned the bacon was overdone. The chef even apologized and removed it from the bill, but that didn’t really change my overall impression. It still felt like the worst restaurant experience I’ve had.

The food portions are good here. These are not denny's eggs, I really enjoyed them. My buddy got the Mary's omelet. It looked stuffed with mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. The bacon came out nice and hot. Everything looked fresh and hot, don't sleep on the biscuits & gravy. This would've been an easy 5 stars, but unfortunately, 2 out of 5 of us never got our English muffins or toast. They got slammed, so I understand it happens. I will say our coffee stayed topped off, which is always great service.

The first day I got a steak and eggs. Noticed there was a Keto plate and had that the 2nd day. Food was good. There was a sign to thank a veteran but they didn’t give veteran discount. It still didn’t deter me from coming back. It still had the best prices in town despite no discount. The food is very good and service was exceptional. Atmosphere was ok. My husband prefers atmosphere, I don’t. I’m perfectly happy with a hole in the wall as long as the food is good. You will not be disappointed going to this little family restaurant. I would definitely go back.

Stepping back decades when walking through the doors, you can immediately tell you're in for an adventure. Staff are super cool and personable. Food is amazing, generous portions of quality yumminess! Had the Carne Asada Plate, my Father the Pollo. Tried both corn and flour tortillas, out of rice today which (Rebecca?) immediately advised me of when I ordered, and we worked a substitute in the form of their home fries w cheese on em! The PLATTERS that showed up blew me away!!! The menu selection is massive. The staff super personable, funny, and watching the team all work together was great. The kitchen is back behind a high counter, where you can hear and see everything, really cool! Double front entry doors protect from cold gusts when guests enter and exit. Love the down home original environment. A mix of booths, tables, and a little outside seating. Lastly, hold up your hand, open it, their cinnamon rolls are bigger than that.

This cute, little vintage place is incredible!! We visited our son in Oceanside and he took us there for breakfast and the food was unbelievable! The french toast - incredible, the Omelet to die for! The service was wonderful, super sweet, welcoming, kind. I saw someone had ordered the Cinnamon Roll and I was so upset that we went there the last day we were in Oceanside cause I wanted to take one of these large Cinnamon Rolls home with me but couldn't. Can not wait for another trip to Oceanside and definitely many trips back to Mary's for breakfast, Cinnamon Roll and will try their lunch next time too. Thank You for giving us another spot in O-side to love! Try their homemade salsa too! DELISH!!!

As a person born and raised in oceanside I've always drove past this place going to the beach. I finally decided to try it out and it is by far one of the best breakfast spots I have been to in awhile. From the customer service to the food (great portion sizes) & prices I have no complaints. Most definitely suggest giving it a try 🙂.

Food was great! The chocolate chip pancakes, the buttermilk pancakes, the Belgium waffle and the fresh fruit were perfect. Now for the country potatoes, they were great. They were actually potatoes cute and fried. NOT frozen gross potatoes. This gives then an extra ⭐️ We are here visiting from out of town, so we looked at previous reviews. You won't be disappointed here.

This is such a cozy weekend go-to for us. 🌞 They’ve got something for everyone, mimosa flights for me, a giant chocolate chip pancake for my kiddo, and lighter options when I’m trying to behave. The corned beef hash is a fave, and I usually stick to the Benedict because it never lets me down (the beef special I tried was a little chewy). It does get busy in the mornings, and you order at the counter with self-serve drinks, but that’s part of the charm. Swami’s is definitely staying in our regular rotation.

It was the best! Such good quality! Everything was delicious, the person who took us order was very nice and helpful. I recommend iced honey lavender, it was yummy and their steak was delicious 🤌 Definitely come back

Vegan (hot food) options are few & not very appetizing. Smoothie bowl was large and fresh but they did include pollen even though I asked for it vegan. Have also tried the tofu stir fry and tofu fish tacos which were okay but I wouldn't seek this place out for food if adhering to a vegan diet. Love the easy of ordering at the counter and seating yourself.

This location is close to the pier and a good spot for a quick bite. However, the food had a cafeteria-like quality; it lacked flavour. The toast was cold, and the bacon was cold. I feel this is due to the system they have in place to pre-order before being seated. The service model was a bit different from other restaurants in the area. We had to wait in line as we entered and were then given a menu. Overall, our experience was okay. There was street parking available, but we didn’t use it and instead walked to the location.

The food is good, but not the best, the service is OK… No one came to pick up our food/dirty place until superduper later. We’re still waiting on pancakes. We ordered a long time ago. There’s usually a long line outside the restaurant, but that does not mean there’s a wait time! You’re supposed to take your order at the front and see yourself!

This cafe is a good breakfast and coffee spot, the latte art was very impressive too! The only complaint we had was the hashbrowns and eggs on the benedicts we ordered were pretty cold when we got them. The flavors were all really good though and they have a large selection on the menu!

First time trying the Broken Yolk Cafe and it was good, but didn’t quite live up to the hype in my head. I love breakfast and was hoping for a little more wow factor. The Huevos Rancheros were good, but not great. The custom omelette was similar. The fruit was fresh and juicy. The service was great! Plenty of room for dining, with outdoor seating options. Maybe a little better next time.

My granddaughter and I stopped by for breakfast, and we had such a lovely time! The staff was super friendly, and we were lucky to have Emma as our server. She's new, and John is showing her the ropes. I must say, Emma did an amazing job and was so accommodating! We really enjoyed our breakfast together 🥞🍳🥞🍳.

We had a wonderful breakfast experience, the service was excellent and the food was on point. Our server. Thomas B., was friendly and efficient and we really like him! Our meals were hot and flavorful and served quickly. Overall a wonderful visit and we will return next time we are in the area! We were really impressed by our first time here.

Broken Yolk Cafe offers an impressive variety of dishes, catering to a wide range of tastes and preferences. The food is not only delicious but also beautifully presented, showcasing attention to detail that enhances the dining experience. The service is equally commendable, with a caring and attentive staff that ensures you feel welcome. However, be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak times. We visited on a Sunday for brunch and waited about 30 minutes for a table, which speaks to the cafe's popularity. Despite the wait, the quality of the food and service made it well worth it. Highly recommended for those looking for a satisfying and well-rounded dining experience!

Food was delicious. Ranchers skillet and salmon avocado toast were both enjoyable. I wouldn't recommend the Bloody Mary flight. Wine-based vodka and wine-based tequila is one of the worst experiences my taste buds have experienced. Definitely skip that and stick to their delicious breakfasts.

It was extremely busy on the Sunday that we visited at approximately 12 noon. Staffing was down by 20%, but our server was very attentive and amicable despite running around like a chicken. Food and drink came out fairly soon and was quite good. We had the soup and sandwich combo. Sandwiches were really good. My soup, chicken vegetable, was too salty. However, the tomato basil soup was excellent. The spice donut holes with cream cheese frosting on the side made for a great shareable appetizer. We enjoyed our meal that very busy day.

Our party of three waited almost 40 minutes because the restaurant was relatively short staffed which I understand. The hostess quickly took our drink order. Unfortunately, about three tables seated after us had their orders taken. A table seated approximately 10 minutes after us requested that “John” be their server. John promptly went out and took their order and spent quite some time with them. After waiting 25 minutes, my son informed the hostess that we haven’t had our order taken and others after us had ordered. I saw the hostess tell a female server. Once a table seated after me received their food I became pretty upset since we since haven’t had our order taken. John the manager then tried to blame “then confusion” on the hostess since she took our drink order. I found that pretty unprofessional. I have no issues with the hostess since she was helpful and pleasant. John tried to give me a card for a free entree but I declined since I will not be visiting the Broken Yolk in Oceanside again.

The establishment offers ample parking for visitors. Its interior captures a nostalgic drive-in theater ambiance, providing a unique dining experience. The menu features a diverse selection of food options; for example, patrons can enjoy classic burgers alongside other items such as pastrami sandwiches and zucchini. Regular fries are also available. Overall, the food quality is commendable, and the service is efficient, with a typical wait time of around 7-8 minutes for meals. This venue is particularly family-friendly and is highly recommended for those dining with families.

I give the restaurant 4.5 stars at least more than 4 stars. I believe this is the best burger in this area. The burger has great meat, cheese, and onion ling and those match BBQ sauce. There are many car decorations in the restaurant. Its interior has American mood and you can enjoy that when you are waiting. Taste over 100 mile! Boo Boo!

Ive been coming here for over 8 years. It was great when Larry use to be the owner. Since, its changed a couple times. We came about 3 years ago and the service was horrible. We tried to give it another shot and the first 2 times in the past month were great. Today we went with my dad, mom, and Grandma. They took my mom and grandmas plate to another table that came after us. When I went to the front to inquire about the plate they apologized and said it would be right out. About 20 mins later after watching them bring other tables food out and only 2 of our plates, I went back up. They told me they couldn't interfere with what the kitchen had going on. Even though it was their error you'd think they would have tried to get our plate out first. I work in customer service in the food industry and if we make an error we have to make the moment right first. I almost just wanted to ask for a refund so I decided to stand at the register till it was ready. Won't be returning here again.

We came in tow with 3 adults and 5 kids under 12 yrs old!!! Lol food was delicious and arrived fast. Kids loved the eclectic atmosphere. The claw machine was a hit! Frannie was our cashier, she was super helpful and friendly in deciding what to order even as the line got longer. She was so patient and attentive. Thank you, we will be baccck!!!

Amazing food, service and a very unique and family friendly atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious with crispy fries, and with friendly staff, will recommend this place if you're ever close by!

A super unique and fun atmosphere and layout; and they have a good variety of delicious menu items!

BEST BURGERS EVER!! Juicy and flavorful!! I can here one day years ago and have been back multiple times every since!! One of the best burgers ever! The staff is friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is pretty cool looks like a gas station garage.. definitely somewhere you can take some nice pictures of for your social media lol 🤣

The atmosphere is amazing. I love that they are extremely dog friendly. Our wait Saul was excellent! He took great care of us. We did patio seating since we brought our dog but dogs are allowed for indoor seating. Hubby ordered the monster bBoody Mary and I had the white peach belini. Both were a 10. The kids ordered the chocolate chip pancakes combo. Both had mix reactions. Both said the pancakes were a 9 but the sausage was different. My oldest sone rated it a 10 and my other son rates it a 7. Hubby got the lobster scrambled. The potato balls is so good and he said the scrambled was a 9. I got the basic pancake combo with bacon. The pancakes were super fluffy and the bacon was soo good. We will be back just to try other things on the menu. If you are in the area, please give it a try.

Stopped for brunch on a Monday, and we were able to sit in a patio. They didn’t mind us (just a party of two) occupying a larger table since it was Monday. We ordered our food and flights of mimosas. The food and drinks came out without waiting too long. We shared our food, eggs in purgatory and smoked salmon, and i enjoyed them very much. Both dishes were spicy, just how I like them! The workers were friendly and efficient. We found a street parking spot with ease as it was a weekday.

BELIEVE THE 5-STAR REVIEWS! OMG... Toasted Gastrobrunch is definitely on my regular restaurant rotation now. It's highly recommended by Yelpers far and wide, as a brunch enthusiast I can verify this is a phenomenal place. I heard great things about the A-B-C Hash (Shoutout to our friend Audrey the Yelp CM who recommended this dish) so I had to try it! I ordered it with a side of rosemary sourdough and oof, it was an other-worldly experience. The avocado was perfect, I typically don't eat avo but this place changed my mind. Everything from the potatoes, meat, and eggs was fresh and premium quality. We tried a flight of mimosas (pear, lavender, etc.) and they had a good amount of alcohol. The flight glasses were mini-size, so we got some extra soft drinks just in case. Service was a little wonky, we didn't have too many check-ins from our waitress. Our drinks didn't get refilled regularly, that was a little troubling. We just got a lazy vibe from some of the staff. Thankfully, this didn't ruin the experience, but we'd appreciate better service next time! I WILL give kudos to a gentleman from the staff who sent away a homeless dude who was about to start stuff. He tactfully handled the situation, and called security without causing a disruption for guests. The restaurant was trendy, but it never felt like it was trying too hard. It was a cool place, I enjoyed the outdoor patio ALOT! I definitely like the comfortable brunch atmosphere. Oh, and their kitchen is stunning, I love getting to see the chefs in action! Note: I checked on their Yelp page, they have a Yelp waitlist!! Be sure to secure your slot!

Great location for brunch! Lots of seating inside and many seats on the patio with fire pits in the middle of the tables. Service: Our party of 5 took a while to be seated since apparently there were a couple of servers that called out sick and staffing was short. Knowing this, we gave our server some grace and were patient in waiting. Unfortunately, whenever we did ask for something, it felt like we were bothering him. Regardless, food came out within 10-15 minutes. Food: -Coffee Cake Cakes ($14.5): perfect enough to share with the table. Comes with 3 large pancakes and it wasn’t too sweet -Spanish Churros ($12): also shared with the table. Churros were crispy and pretty good! -Lobster Toast ($20): some pictures didn’t do it justice but this is one big toast that was very filling! There were far more bacon bits than lobster though. -Short Rib Benny ($22): my husband enjoyed this dish. Comes with round truffle potatoes which were tasty. Overall: Very cute brunch place at a nice location. Next time, I’d wanna try out their mimosa flights!

OMG! Fabulous food and drink. Green Eggs and Denver Scramble for amazing as well as the company in post on both. Prickly pear sour and Mimosa White or even better than I had expected. Definitely a place to visit again!

Yummy breakfast!! Very casual, and laid back atmosphere!! Enjoyed the Salmon toast..so yummy!! Great waitstaff!! Definitely a great place to visit, and worth trying out for breakfast at least!!

This review is long overdue, but we couldn’t go without sharing how amazing our experience was at Toasted Gastrobrunch! A few months before our wedding in June, the original restaurant we planned to host our rehearsal dinner closed, and we spent days searching for a new venue. We reached out to so many places near our reception site, and thankfully, we messaged Toasted Gastrobrunch! Cassandra responded so promptly and was incredibly helpful from the start. They were able to accommodate our group of about 90–100 people, and honestly, it turned out to be the best surprise — a true silver lining! Cassandra, Cody, and the entire staff were amazing. They even created a custom menu for us that offered a mix of Italian and American food outside of their usual brunch menu, which our guests absolutely loved. We were also able to have the restaurant to ourselves, which made the evening feel extra special and intimate. Everything exceeded our expectations — the buffet was plentiful, the drinks were great, and the restaurant itself was spacious and comfortable for all our guests. After dinner, we ended up dancing the night away with even more friends and family who were in town for the wedding, and it was such a perfect way to kick off the weekend! If you’re looking for a reception venue or a restaurant to host your large party, look no further — Toasted Gastrobrunch is it! Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping make our wedding weekend so special! — The Garcias

The food was fresh and hot, the wait staff was pleasant, the one whom was assisting us and seated us was not the waiter. We would have preferred to give her the tip because she was so pleasant. Waitress was nice but spread thin, maybe more staff needed. Overall good experience, good staff, serious eat there again.

We arrived at 9:50am to this ihop and we were the only family besides one other in section, we sat for 15 mins before anyone even asked what we’d like to drink. Then after we FINALLY ordered, about 5 more tables were sat and they ALL received their food before we had gotten anything. It was exactly 10:52 when we decided to walk out (never got our food🤬) due to lack of service!! Made us even more angry when we could see the servers just laughing and chatting in the back section. Shame on that place for allowing customers to experience that. You have been warned.

100% horrible from the service to the food. Denny's is way better. Ihop is a ghetto waffle house. The lady with fake eyelashes was rude and kept coming back every 2 seconds not asking but demanded what we wanted to order. When we got the food, eyelashes were in my eggs and I showed my date the eyelashes in my food. Then my date looked at her food and saw the same thing in her food. We got up and left, told the people at the front counter we're not paying for the food as we didn't even eat it. I've always had and still do have respect for waitresses but not this one. We tried Ihop but Denny's is my go too. Just ask anyone at Denny's off the 76 or by the 78. I always tip my waitress a minimum 20% and I go often so they know me but also since I go often, I also know who is new as well and I tip the new employee 50% and I always tip cash so they don't have to worry about being taxed on the tip. I'm not trying to be mean to the waitress but she did that on her own as if it was her last day and she didn't care at all. I wonder if anyone has gotten sick after eating here because I would not be surprised.

Seems like a newer establishment food was good and came out quick!

It was okay. The waitress was in a hurry when she was taking our order. The pancakes were a little overcooked which I was fine with but the wife wasn't as thrilled. The rest of the experience was okay - the waitress did slow down a bit so she was more pleasant after that although she never did come take the credit card after she said she would. Overall I think they could improve in those ways.

Very nice place. Perfect service and very good food. Maybe our new favorite breakfast place 👍

IHOP is great because they serve breakfast anytime, that’s the reason I go there. This IHOP has great service, good food, clean bathrooms and enough parking space. The pancakes are fluffy, the jalapeño omelette is rich in flavor and our server left a carafe of coffee in our table so we can drink as much as we want.

I was looking for a great breakfast burrito and found this place. It’s all open air seating, but a great view of the Pacific Ocean. I got there California burrito and it was on point. They have two different sauces for the burrito and they were both great. I grabbed a cup of coffee and it was good, but not really hot. Still good, but the food, service and view made up for it. You have to stop by and check it out.

Awesome cafe. I started occasionally coming here a few weeks ago. I usually get the California Breakfast Burrito (basically a California Burrito with eggs). Yesterday, I also got a Banana/Strawberry/OJ smoothie. Both the burrito and smoothie are pretty good. They're a bit expensive, but willing to pay it. Also, they close at 2pm. I kinda wish they stayed open till 2:30/3 because there have been times I've been crusing by between 2 and 2:30 and want to stop by.

Had my daughter’s birthday catered by Buccaneer Cafe on their great patio! This location is absolutely awesome but the food is even better!!! Jennifer was so kind, thoughtful and totally easy to work with!!! Definitely recommend this place for either catering or going by to grab a bite!!!

Little café right in front of the beach. I tried the avocado toast and it was really tasty. Service was quick, and you can tell it’s popular because there’s always a line. The cashier was super helpful too.

The loco moco is great. Breakfast burrito pretty good but has a sweetness in one of the ingredients that threw me off. The English muffin breakfast sandwich is a size that should cost $2 max. Their menu has a handwritten note that their prices can change at any time from what menu shows, they charge 3% if you don’t pay cash. They use the common tactic of Serrano comments or questions when it’s too screen time. Some business took the “I appreciate you” era during Covid to heart and are taking as much as people will put up with paying. Soon napkins and utensils will have a surcharge. I consider all this a cost of eating with a beach view.

What a fantastic place. We were staying in Oceanside on vacation and every morning right at 7am when it opened there was a line, it’s well deserved. The food is soooo good, the staff friendly. There are picnic benches to sit and enjoy. It’s directly across the street from public beach access. We enjoyed grabbing coffee and a breakfast sandwich and watching the early morning surfers.

Really cool location by a park and a small beach. The breakfast burrito was exactly what you want it to be. Stuffed, grilled, with sauce options on the side. Lemonade was super fresh as well.

Denny's Taco Egg Avocado Skillets had some hits and misses. The eggs and avocado were great, but the cream cheese wasn’t my favorite. The potatoes felt a bit off—they seemed precooked, and when served, they were cold. Thankfully, the skillet eventually warmed them up. The overall experience was decent, but there’s room for improvement, especially with serving temperatures and coffee quality

One thing I will say is that it's a great experience. The Tomahawk was definitely overpriced but still delicious. I say overpriced because I have eaten at all 5 star + restaurants in Ohau Hawaii and have had better Tomahawk's for a more reasonable price. The potatoes and keylime pie were awesome. Definitely will have to try the other steak options.

Great food. Waitress was nice and doing her best. She was slammed and the only one working. They need to hire more people.

After some seashell hunting we stopped at Denny's and ordered from their Value Menu. I had French toast, two eggs, two sausage links and I added a side of crispy hash browns. Everything was cooked perfect and hot. Our waitress was so nice and always available. I also ordered the same meal to go for my boyfriend and it was just as tasty and fresh as mine. Ordering from the Value Menu made it affordably priced and the restaurant was clean and well maintained, with great food and service.

Food was very good , however , the general manager, or the lady that was wearing the red suit was very rude. A server in training was brining our food to our table when the general manager openly criticized how the trainee was holding the tray of food, and made the trainee go back to the kitchen in front of us to receive a tray holder . Afterwards , the same manager that was criticizing the trainee , she used the same gloves that she had used previously to clean the bottom of booths by the floor , she used to prepare and serve food. This made us most uncomfortable and the situation was most unfortunate. We ate our food as quickly as possible and will not be returning for this horrible service towards its servers.

The lunch we ordered was good, and the price was reasonable. The person serving was genuinely nice! The only thing was that there was a lot of noise as we were made to sit next to the till area.

Located right off the freeway, and right by a gas station. Went here on Saturday about 830am, it was packed. There was a short wait. We got seated and it took about 5 minutes for someone to come take our drink request. We ordered coffee. Took about another 5 minutes to get our drinks, at which time we ordered our food. It took about 10 minutes for our food to get there. I got the French toast slam. It was good. The bacon here was disappointing. It was super thin and tasted fake. The server was not very friendly and you can tell she was busy, she was all about business. I looked around as we were waiting and other waitresses looked friendly but busy as well. All of our drinks ran out and we sat there for like 10-12 minutes before she came back to check on us. Keep in mind the only drinks we ordered were coffee and the cups were smaller than most cups. She could only take cash payment at the table, if you wanted to use card you had to pay at the counter. They do offer a military discount. There is a small wait area by the front counter. You have to wait to be seated. Overall, it was an okay experience. Not bad but not great.

If I could give the hotel a zero I would! Was there for a wedding. Arrived at 4:45 PM. Check in time is after 3 PM. Our hotel rooms were not ready. Had to wait an hour. We were told we would get connecting rooms by three different people and did not. They kept reassuring us because we had young children. It would not be an issue. We have 3 kids so it was super inconvenient. There were other guests that were already awaiting over an hour and a half for their rooms. So this was an issue for many many people. Manager, all she kept stating was, she was sorry and that they are shortstaffed and cleaners will be checking rooms within minutes. Within minutes, turned into an hour. We were late for our wedding rehearsal dinner that was being hosted by them. Guest services, room service was complete crap. Never ever again!

Marriott elite member here. Beds are comfy. Now with the bad. Sound insulation between rooms is terrible and I can hear 3rd floor guests walking around and guests in next door room having normal conversations. Light bleed under doors. Refrigerator in room makes weird noises. Uncomfortable cold ac in lobby and restaurant area. I would not stay at this property again due to these issues

Purchased a Day Pass as a reward for an employee. Beautiful property. I specifically called to inquire about the services (food & drink) was told there would be pool service. There was none. Kept being told the time was changing for the opening of pool restaurant. It never opened, then missed the main restaurant hours. After asking several different front desk employees, we were finally offered a couple menu options from the main restaurant. Definitely disappointing. I could of went to a mediocre facility paid less with the expectation of not having any pool side service.

I worked with Luciana to coordinate our 2-day business meeting offsite last month for our tech company. It was such a pleasure working with her and she made sure all was set and prepared logistically. We also enjoyed wonderful lunches outdoors at the restaurant onsite. Everything was very clean and staff was very accommodating to our needs even if last minute request. Our event ran very smooth from start to finish. I’d highly recommend business meetings here! They have so much meeting room space - it’s incredible :)

This place was amazing. The rooms were a little small, but you're not there for just the rooms, but it did count. The best things, we were 11 minutes from the beach and they had a pretty good breakfast. It is right next to the highway, and a lot of amenities. The parking situation wasn't the best, so we parked where we could.

Marriott & Westin Should Be Ashamed of This Location Normally, Marriott and Westin stand for quality—but this property has zero standards across service, staff, and overall experience. They slap on the “resort & spa” label just to justify inflated fees without delivering anything close to a resort experience. Ratings: Front Desk: 0/10 Staff: 0/10 Valet: 1/10 Room: 1/10 Grounds: 6/10 Restaurant: 2/10 Value: 2/10 Check-in was chaos: one overwhelmed front desk agent, long lines, and no greeting. After waiting nearly an hour, the staff member literally ran off and never returned. The next person gave us a key with no info, no map, and no dog form. We had to find our room ourselves. The room smelled like mildew, the AC was broken, and the front desk refused to move us—claiming no availability. After being ignored repeatedly and watching staff prioritize flight attendants over waiting guests, we finally spoke to someone who admitted there were plenty of rooms. Still, no dog bowls or form ever arrived. Two hours after arrival, we still weren’t settled. Dinner at the hotel restaurant took 90 minutes for two basic dishes, with no updates or apologies. The place was half empty but painfully slow and overpriced. Valet was a disaster: 20+ minute waits every time, phones that dropped calls, and no staff in sight. Guests were left to retrieve their own keys while cars sat untouched. Just self-park—valet is a joke. Bottom line: As a former Platinum Elite member, this was the worst Marriott experience I’ve ever had. This Westin doesn’t care about guests—only your money. Avoid at all costs.

I experienced a serious security breach at this hotel when I found a third room key inside my room, even though I was only issued two at check-in. Security later admitted a third key had been made, and it wasn’t used until two days later—while my “Do Not Disturb” sign was on the door. Instead of giving me answers, Assistant Manager Anna, Operations Director Colton, and General Manager Leslie all disregarded my concerns and tried to make it seem like I was in the wrong. I have since sent multiple emails with no response. I hardly slept the last two nights worrying who else had access to my room. If you care about your safety, stay elsewhere. Worst hotel experience by far.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ True 5 star experience! Phenomenal service, delicious food and great vibe. My sister and I enjoyed our time there and left feeling like we found a gem. 🥓 🍳 Breakfast classic with full flavor options. Everything tasted just right and served fresh off the grill’s. I would definitely recommend having this experience for yourself. #YoullThankMeLater 👍🏼😃👍🏼

The food here is fantastic. I ordered a BLT and must say it was very filling. The mimosas are not bad, keep you feeling nice a bit. 😉Should out to Angelica, she has amazing customer service skills and hope that she serves me again when I come back! :)

Esteban is outstanding and attentive, even when the place is packed, thank you. Both of our meals were surprisingly gluten-free and really good. If you are looking for a great flavor go with the Ranchers Omelette. A slightly milder flavor is the Huevis Rancheros. Both are winners for us, simply pick your flavor strength.

the server is super nice. love the atmosphere. nostalgic very berry french toast and eggs benighted (idk how to spell it) i didn't order alcohol but they have it and i look forward to trying it next time

I met my niece for an early lunch between appointments, helping seniors with their Medicare. She ordered an omelet scrambled. I chose their famous cheeseburger. In addition to the food tasting fantastic, the service could not have been better.

I had Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast, hand breaded and cooked perfectly, good eggs and nice thick slices of good sourdough. This is truly an old fashioned diner with great service, great decor, comfortable booths. Really glad I stopped!

Ate there a few years behind. As Jeff’s. Aka Sean penn would say,”awesome, totally awesome. etc
