Mr Pete's burger
Austin W.

Great service! Delicious and huge burger. Fries were fresh and crispy. Nice and clean restaurant with plenty of seating.

Nette H.

What an awesome spot! They happily served up our party of 15!! After we noticed, we beat the crowd. It's a pretty lively, with outdoor and indoor seating. A real definition of a spot for anyone, including kids, and your fur babies to enjoy. We all ordered a mixture of breakfast, omelets, chicken strips, and burgers. Everything was really good! Lots of flavor, and now I'm hungry... I ordered a sausage breakfast plate with a Michie:) They serve a variety of adult beverages. Mimosas and Michies for the WIN! SO GOOD with an appealing presentation with the taJin rimmed jar cup! The little mini champagne that was adorable. It was a great time for 11am!! The staff was very friendly and attentive. One restroom is available.

Ssshhh. Love this place for breakfast! Ube coffee, banana/macadamia pancakes or waffles, Eggs Benedict & more!! A lot of room for big families and prices are fair food tasty food! Broke da mouth cuz! Friendly and quick service too!

Loco Moco, Avocado omelette, and hawaiian latte.
Abeeha H.

The service here was cute, they were helpful in choosing out which menu items to have, and it does seem like a family-owned (i think) business, which is always something to look forward to supporting. Unfortunately, I agree with a lot of the recent comments that the food is simply too greasy and lacks flavor. I think that the interior and service can outweigh that for some folks, but as a first-timer I'm not sure if I want my brunch soaked in grease that early in the morning. I think the restaurant could improve on the quality of ingredients in that manner. On other notes, the hawaiian latte was a good size and tasted good as well. Overall, the experience was okay, and it is a more unique concept available in the San Clemente area.

Sriracha and maple syrup chicken & waffles
Izzy L.

Quaint, beachside diner offering an abundant selection of Hawaiian/American breakfast fusion. They have such a large menu, it takes me forever to order sometimes, there's so many great options! My boyfriend's go to is the sriracha maple chicken waffle. The flavors melt so perfectly into each other in this buttery, cheesy, sweet dish. I normally go with the California omelette, which comes with three eggs, bacon, Swiss cheese, & avocado (I add caramelized onions) with either a side of toast or fried rice. One of my favorite breakfast spots in town. They also have a drive through so super easy to grab after a long surf in the morning and not wanting to get out soaking wet! Super good burgers too.

Came here for the breakfast burrito. I got the veggie filled with avocado (for additional charge). It was a hefty size and pretty good. The side of refries beans was a nice treat. Id definitely come back to try something else since the menu is aided with options. Good service, order was out promptly. Plenty of seating indoor and out. Place is very casual.

Burger was really dry and chewy, pastrami was dry and my fried zucchini was limp and bland. The fried zucchini is not battered, it's unsalted breadcrumbs and doesn't hold up well or taste good. The only thing I liked was the ranch dressing. Went thru the drive thru, took a while and costed almost $20 for lunch for 1 person. Not recommended

Potatoes from 1/2 bacon breakfast burrito
Matt T.

Came for my usual breakfast burrito, it gets worse each time. Practically no bacon, it's a potato burrito. Ordered it with extra bacon, still maybe 2 pieces in entire burrito. The pic is the potato i pulled from 1/2 a burrito, 1/2!! Who wants 2 entire potatoes for breakfast. A positive is their customer service. The guy at drive thru window has always been cool. Been coming here for 6 years pretty consistently, can't find a reason to give them business anymore. $21 for a potato fueled coma

Fried zucchini
Paulette D.

You order your food at the counter and then they give you a number for them to bring your food to. The prices are pretty decent for the amount of food and there's ton of tables/seats for everyone. I got the aloha burger because it was one of the few that just had lettuce and tomatoes. For the price, it's what you expect it to be. The fried zucchini fries were amazing!! I would order this as a side if you are planning on getting one. I thought the hash browns were going to be something different because some photos showed a circular hash brown but maybe that's only for burgers?

P.O.M mimosa... bacon two eggs and 2 banana pancakes... delicious
Monica F.

I really enjoyed my food... reasonably priced. The portions are nice. The young lady at the register was amazing Daisy. She was , friendly and in owledgeable and great smile.. she was non stop delivering orders and bussing tables! I will be back!!

Breakfast Burger
Heidi L.

Omg i love their bagel burger breakfast at. Service is excellent, right on point always asking if everything is okay and good. Very friendly with customers. Very clean place compared to the last restaurant/owners there.

Belgium waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon coffee, California Omelette...
Doug S.

Aloha! *IS* the best single word to use here. Your delightful experience will likely start with a genuinely warm greeting from Roger or Emily. That is just the start of the Aloha embrace. Whether you're dropping in for lunch or breakfast... Everything on the menu is superb... And obviously made with the same Aloha spirit from the cooks in the kitchen. The magic is brought out to your table with a huge smile... And a genuine interest in your awesome experience. The hot chocolate? Must do! Belgian waffles, and all the other breakfast goodness that the islands offer... Burgers for lunch... Really, it couldn't be better... Super clean, super friendly, best food you're gonna have. Mahalo kids!

My last day in town, I spoke with the wait staff and let them know what a great job they are doing; They were friendly and so grateful. The food was delicious and so delightful. The chicken sandwich had roasted chicken with bacon and a delicious aïoli. That was honestly such a good mix. The brioche bread they put the chicken on was fluffy and flavorful. My daughters got a Nutella crêpe and berries and cream crêpe. Both were delicious and a good portion size. Their sourdough toast with jam was a favorite of ours, we got it every single time we went. I cannot wait to come back and try maybe one of their delicious salads or maybe Hardy breakfast! Definitely a top-tier restaurant. I must try!

I see the ratings on this place and I wonder why? We ordered two steak plates; one Steak and eggs cooked rare and another steak and frites cooked medium. They were both terrible. Chewy and cooked wrong. The medium was cook rare and the rare one was goey. No flavor at all. I instantly regretted picking this location for brunch. I bagged up the steaks for my dog and headed out disappointed. For 62$ I wish I could say I was full and satisfied but I'm unfortunately not. Just lacking overall in taste. The breakfast potatoes tasted like free potatoes from a motel breakfast and the side salad with the steak frites just had a red vinaigrette dressing on Roman lettuce, no character at all. If you just want mimosas I guess this is a good place for that, they had a range in flavors from original orange juice to blueberry. But I recommend saving your money and cooking breakfast/lunch at home. The two stars are for the service! Food, no stars! 0 **They also have no ranch or A1 So I expected the steak to be on point.... Smh!

A few surprises My sister ordered the Cali eggs Benedict the potatoes wee supposed to be smashed, they were halved. The avocado slices looked old due to the dark tone on them, not the normal green. My chilaquiles had black beans, not mentioned in the menu description; great surprise. There was supposed to be sour cream on my chilaquiles and there wasn't any. It would have cut some of the sourness of the chile verde sauce. I chose poached eggs in stead of fried ones. My eggs were over cooked and cold. I am pretty sure they were precooked.

I wish I did sooner! I past by this place on my way to work every day. Literally. Its on route for me and I never thought to myself to eat breakfast here nor check it out, I know on the days when I head back home it's always pack and people be waiting for a table. And that's on a sunny day. Well I was wrong for thinking oh it wouldn't be crowded on a rainy day. NOPE. I was sooooo wrong. It was PACKED and busy. Ain't even the rain gonna stop people to get some good food. What supposed to be a long day at work, tournament was cancelled last minutes and my staff was really bummed because we did travel to work. (I work two jobs and the other is a bit of commute to get to) so with that I was thinking, heck, it's still early in the morning (7am on sunday, a rainy sunday) and suggested breakfast. A bit of yelp search, i stumbled on Antoine's and saw a couple of Elites reviewed and ask my staff if they wanted to eat here. Took less than a couple of second but everyone agreed. By the time we got there (around 10am) it was packed and the rain was just picking up because before we got here, the car in front of us hydroplane and skid off the road and hit the curb. Yet, this place was still pack and parking was full. (We found street parking near Starbucks) I had my staff placed our name down since she lives closer, but they won't see you until all your party is here and that's fine. We ended up seating at the bar and left the booth for other parties. Love the teamwork, the staff were super stars doing a rush like that, let me tell you it PACKED HOUSE and we got our food and drinks on time, no one in my party had to wait to eat and I forgot to take pictures of my staff meals, only took mines and what I got for the table to share was a croissant french toast, which I believe was their special of the day. I got the chicken fried steak and the portion are MASSIVE!!! All of us took our food home because the portion size are insanely big and bang for the buck!! Great place to eat breakfast or brunch or even a 'Team Building Breakfast Time' LOL Just happy to treating out my amazing staff on their work. I will be coming back again to try out their lox bagels and chai tea. (It was in a massive cup that reminds me of the show FRIENDS.)

Their wine list is truly endless. You can sit inside at the bar, at a gorgeous table with air conditioning, under their adorable pink-striped umbrellas on the patio, or in an extended patio off the sidewalk with plenty of seating.

Their chive biscuit breakfast sandwich is incredible, as is their breakfast burrito, chilaquiles AND biscuits and gravy.

It was the kind of place where sharing plates and a bottle of wine make sense. From my visit, we tried the Charcuterie & Cheese Board, sliders, ceviche, and the Burrata Salad with grilled peach. Everything was solid, but the Burrata Salad was the clear favorite. The combination of creamy burrata with grilled peach, heirloom tomato, fresh herbs, and the bright vinaigrette had a great balance of sweet, savory, and fresh flavors. It was the dish I'd come back for. The other plates rounded out the meal well, especially for sharing, and the wine selection was a highlight. For tips, I'd come ready to share several small plates and take advantage of the wine program. Since the room can get busy, expect a more energetic experience during peak times rather than a quiet dinner. This is a good fit for date night, catching up with friends, or anyone who enjoys wine, cheese boards, and a lively downtown San Clemente setting. The only small drawback is that the busier atmosphere may not be ideal if you are looking for a calm, intimate meal.
