Jeremy JacobowitzMarch 1, 2015Fantastic brunch!! Worth the wait for sure! Love the bloody Mary options! The smoked brisket hash is the perfect brunch dish! Too many things I have to go back and try!

EaterJanuary 6, 2014A longstanding diner gets a swanky mid-century modern makeover from Johnny Rivera (Hash House, The Tractor Room). The desserts and homemade pies are standouts.
Jose VieitezJune 26, 2017The maple bacon donuts: I wasn't sure I wanted them. Then I tried the warm crispy donuts. I could have eaten 3 or 4. Also, the beef brisket Popover was AMAZING. The flavors were incredible.

I love this restaurant. The food is fantastic. But it suffers from the typical "SoCal upcharge." $17 for an egg scramble is silly. Even when it's really delicious.
Kylie BeckMarch 24, 2016I will be asking for the maple bacon doughnuts on my death bed... They were that good. Also, ask for Emiliano, he was one of the best servers I've ever had!!
- Jeremy JacobowitzMarch 1, 2015Perfect brunch spot!! Loves the number of bloody Marys, and the smoked brisket hash is what brunch is all about! Too many things I have to go back and try!
Les KollegianAugust 10, 2013The maple bacon donuts are amazing...not gonna lie, but the fact that no one's written about the prosciutto egg pizza (yes with truffle oil) is insane. This is seriously the best pizza I've ever had.
My Favorite place to have Breakfast in San Diego! Everything is Delicious.... but the Chilaquiles OMG out of this world!! Also great servers!!
SalAugust 14, 2017Great place to go for a special breakfast. I got scramble eggs with oysters! A little bit weird, but original. Next time, I will go for the maple donuts
Devon TangasJuly 26, 2015Omg! So much maple and bacon and amazing breakfast food! Beware the French toast! It is not a tiny order. Be hungry when you go here and be prepared to be amazed!
Erick SalgadoMarch 19, 2013I had their pork belly hash special sans cheese. It was pretty darn good, large portions, cute girls, overall great atmosphere. I must say this place is not as approachable as Brian's was. $Mo money$
Ainee TinySeptember 2, 2016Bacon scramble 15.95 + tax big chunks of smoked bacon, avocado, basil, mozarella, tomato. Potatoes, grilled bread on the side.

Vanessa ArellanoApril 9, 2014Maple bacon doughnuts are a must and I recommend getting the quiche if the day, whatever it is. Sooo yummy 😛
Gabrielle GrudzaOctober 23, 2017Popping place for brunch! Make sure to get a reservations. Huge brunch menu and great twists on bloody marys and mimosas!
Jerry ReavesSeptember 22, 2014I love this place..great location, the drinks were delicious (Bellini) and you must get the lolliwaffles
Will WaltersMarch 26, 2013The doughnuts were delicious. I don't usually write reviews, but I don't eat doughnuts and these were amazing. I'm not a huge fan of most breakfast, but I'll be back to try lunch.
- Paul MederosApril 26, 2015You can't go wrong with the brisket hash, or any of the pop overs. Get the beignets.
- L.D FergusonJuly 24, 2022This the best place for a local breakfast. The chicken& Donuts are the best.
Kelly BoneApril 8, 2015The Vegan Hash is a hardy breakfast that won't make you feel left out when dining with omni friends!
Colin LeeApril 24, 2016The polenta and poached eggs are fantastic. Place allows reservation, which should be made in advance for brunch
Honey Bear Mule is delish. Recommend ordering it with half regular vodka for a less sweet version.
Charm B. TrippinAugust 6, 2016These donuts are more hipster than anything in Portland. Make sure there are at least 6 in your party before ordering it with a round of insulin.- Natasha LoomisFebruary 8, 2015This spot is insanely good. Went for a date night and got the French stew. Absolutely mouth watering. #iwasfrenchinanotherlife
Alba MichelFebruary 14, 2016Absolutely delicious. Must have the brisket in any of its forms. By far one of the best sd brunches
Ted LangsMay 24, 2015Food is very good. Good presentation. Latte served in a glass? Ummmm cools fast versus in ceramic cup. Big faux pas.
Michelle PaillesFebruary 24, 2014The donuts are what this place is known for. I highly recommend this place! Delicious.
San Diego ReaderAugust 12, 2013The pretzel bratwurst "was every bit as delicious as I engined it would be". - Barbarella Fokos, San Diego Reader
Larry GilbertMarch 6, 2013You've never had a drink quite like the GM Honey Mule. Even if you have, you've never had it served in a honey-bear glass jar.
Always "Great" dishes, some a bit unusual which makes it a cut above most breakfast places.
Josh MartinJune 15, 2021Those brunch mimosas are expensive…but, they will get you drunk! Get the maple bacon donuts!
- One of the Best Chilaquiles I had outside México!! Awesome Taste
Stephen LegaultFebruary 9, 2015Great brunch spot! The made to order bacon maple doughnuts are a must!
Ashley RoseFebruary 20, 2017Unless you've for 4+ people or REALLY love donuts- the donut tree was too much. Very bacon forward
The silver dollar pancakes looked a bit weird and different but were surprisingly scrumptious. They did have a bit too much powder sugar on them, so let the server know to chill on it.
Scott DJune 23, 2014Get the maple bacon doughnut. It's 8.50 for 3, but they are the best damn doughnuts.
Paul SmithMarch 8, 2015Beignets are freaking awesome but the popovers were a letdown. Kind of expensive also. $9 for a mimosa seems a bit much.
Andrew CDecember 1, 2014San Francisco level prices with massive portions. Kind of evens out. Delicious.
Jose GironMarch 9, 2014Best place for drinks and breakfast after a long night of drinking. Food is delicious.
