Allow me to tell you a story. Skip down three paragraphs for the actual review. I struggled my way through college years ago at UC San Diego. That place's cafeteria food is awful, I distinctly remember my brother visited me once and had to pay $20 for 4 meatballs. One of the only saving graces of food there was the farmer's market. It was there, 7 years ago, that I met my one true love, Benedict's. It single-handedly made my favorite breakfast food the Eggs Benedict and it remains this way today. Whenever I could, I'd make my way down to the market every Wednesday to get my fix. Some days I considered buying two servings so I could eat it for dinner too. After graduating I never found any place that could match its flavor, and I don't live near San Diego anymore so I can't go to its farmers market. Sometimes when I visit my brother in San Diego I would look for it in vain, this place had very little social media footprint. Later on I couldn't find it anywhere, not even at the farmers market posts. I craved its Benedict but I had given up hope and thought that it would live on in my heart. Until a week ago. 5 years since I've had this Benedict. I'm planning for a quick vacation in San Diego and my girlfriend suggests giving it a search again and there it is on the website. At some point they must've decided to have social media again. I tell myself it can't be the same place, but I scroll down the menu and I see the familiar "BAT" Benedict with that weird green sauce on the potatoes. Could it be? The first spot on our itinerary is this restaurant. I tell my girlfriend that I love her more than this Benedict, but she seems unconvinced. We get there and it's some random shack on a road but it's popular despite everything around it being empty and run down. I force myself to remain calm. I ring the order up and wait 15 agonizing minutes, but deep down I already know it must be the place. But what if they changed the recipe and it's garbage now? Worry not reader, they did not change the recipe. It is exactly what made me fall in love with eggs Benedict in the first place and I devour the meal in short order and let my girlfriend know we will be returning. She nods, I believe the Benedict has won her heart over too. This place is located near the beach next to some old inn. It looks unassuming but the small crowd around this old trailer will give you the first hint that this place is special. You order on a digital menu and the wait is around 15 minutes. The main downside for eating here is the flies, these guys eat good here. The trash bin is absolutely infested with flies, and so there'll be at least a couple sneaking bites of your food unless you take it to go which I recommend. The food is incredibly good, if you couldn't tell already. I've searched far and wide for a benedict that had this flavor profile, a bit of a kick with the spices but a rich enough taste that it doesn't overshadow everything else, and a little acidity to cut through the fat. Masterpiece. You will not regret eating this food. read more

Benedict's - BAT (Bacon Avocado Tomato) Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

This place was right next-door Airbnb so it was nice to come here and get an açai bowl for breakfast. The bowls were $13 each for a large and there was a pretty nice serving loaded toppings of bananas, granola, blueberry strawberries, peanut butter, and goji berries. I thought it was pretty funny the condensed milk costing $1 million but I wasn't sure how to get condensed milk without risking paying $1 million. Overall is really cool especially with it being right on the beach almost and will definitely come here for breakfast before we leave San Diego back to home. read more

Super disappointing. Spent $20 on the farmers eggs Benedict . Went on a Sunday morning. It was not crowded and they could not get my order right. I asked for no garlic English muffin regular hollandaise sauce instead of chipotle. I got mixed greens with Benedict and they were wilted and too heavily dressed. My Benedict was a mushy no textured mess. I threw out half my meal. The English muffin wasn't toasted. It was just kind of gross. My friend spent $32 on eggs Benedict and a glass of orange juice. No drip coffee available but had specialty coffee drinks available...hmmmm read more

It's a good breakfast. Kind of expensive, but good. Like $25 for a breakfast sandwich with a side of potatoes, including tip. However, today, there was something different. I ordered, then 10-15 minutes went by, and the chef came walking down the street with a friend and strolled on into the kitchen. I am fairly certain it was not the owner, as I believe that we met last time I was there. The breakfast sandwich was also far better the last time. So, now I question the consistency. It really got me rethinking the quality versus the value. I would not have waited if I had known that the chef wasn't there for the 10-15 minutes either. read more

Benedict's continues to be a consistent spot in OB for brunch or lunch. The food portions are filling and large for the price, and their acai bowls are also a good caveat to their other menu items. We love how convenient it is to walk up and order, and there's usually plenty of street parking or lot parking nearby. read more

Benedict's - BAT benedict, Breakfast Burrito, Omelette with Sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

The food is deliciously unexpected and better than you'd get at a sit-down restaurant. The burrito was packed with eggs, potatoes, sausage, cheese and came with a side of salsa. The eggs Benedict plate came with spinach, peppers, avocado, a side of roasted potatoes which were perfectly cooked, and a green crema. The chef/owner came out and checked on us, and our food came out quickly. Don't let the location fool you. The airstream is parked in a motel parking lot, and there's a patio in front of it with umbrellas, tables, and about 15 stools. You get a nice breeze from Ocean Beach. read more

The Benedict was amazing! However my order was served with greens instead of potatoes like I ordered. The greens were so overdressed, not edible. They did give me my potatoes right away when I let them know. Portions are huge, you should share. I somehow paid 4+ dollars for a bottle of water. It was for my dog...I guess he's bougie on vacation. I would come back. read more

We stayed in the hotel in the same parking lot so we thought we'd try this place out and it was good. My friend got the açaí bowl (pictured) and really enjoyed it. I will say their online menu is not correct they carry less than what is on there. It's a smaller menu but good selection. I got a side of sausage and toast and they were good. Great little business and the guys working were super nice. read more

Tried many different things, the breakfast sandwich with sausage, the breakfast burrito with bacon and the eggs Benedict. Along with coffee and the iced pistachio/ matcha latte which was my favorite. But the prices are pretty outrageous for a food truck. All that for over $76 is wild to me , not a sit down restaurant with service. The food was good but wasn't anything special that I would go back for. It's right on the beach so seats outside but most were wet since it was early morning. I think this place is mostly hype. read more

Would have given two more stars if the woman helping us wasn't so rude and unfriendly. The food is amazing. Breakfast sandwich and burrito were HUGE and super delicious. The vibe is super cute and homey. There are quite a bit of flies as it is outdoors. I came with my family visiting from out of state and we went all out and bought coffees smoothies and breakfast. My dad even bought a tee shirt! As this lady is handing me the tee I ask her if there's any possible way to get a replacement iced coffee or even half of one because the flies flew inside the lid of my cup. She got snarky with me and said "did I hand you a coffee with a fly in it?..." I said oh no not at all it wasn't you it just unfortunately happened and then she gave me a dirty look and said to buy a new one. I didn't at that point because of how rude she was, it left a bad taste in my mouth for the place and now I don't feel like I'd go back. read more

Holy Cr@p! This place is awesome! The reviews were not kidding about this being one of it not The best breakfast sandwich, ever! Of course I love my own cooking best, so finding something impressive like this is always a pleasure. Oh, don't let me forget about the garlic sauce for the potatoes, perfect Definitely worth it and will return again. And Liz was great, too! read more

5/5 - Awesome Brunch in a Cool Airstream! If you're in Ocean Beach, Benedict's is the spot. It's run out of a sleek Airstream, giving it a fun, laid-back vibe that fits the area perfectly. We had the Traditional Eggs Benedict and the Breakfast Sandwich, and both hit the spot: * Eggs Benedict: Two poached eggs and Canadian bacon on a garlic-toasted English muffin, covered in creamy hollandaise. We went with the home-style potatoes--crispy and so good. * Breakfast Sandwich: A fluffy garlic butter brioche packed with scrambled eggs and melted cheddar. You can add bacon, sausage, or veggies. We stuck with the potatoes again, and they were perfect. The staff was super kind and welcoming, which made everything even better. Definitely check out Benedict's if you're in the area--it's worth it! read more

Stayed at the Ocean Villa Inn in OB. Just a one nighter. Getting ready to leave and I was thinking about what to get for breakfast. Saw there was a little line for Benedict's which is right out front. Kiosk ordering, went for the breakfast sandwich with bacon and sausage. If I could curse like I normally do with my friends, y'all would hear it all, but that was the best damn breakfast sandwich I've ever had. From the Texas toast to all the scrambled contents and the creaminess of the avocado, absolutely killed it on every level. The side of the potatoes and both the hot sauce and the green sauce were all fire. It's a lot of food. only ate half and I'm stuffed. Well done. read more

Benedict's - Ham omelet. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Large portions and good food. Within walking distance to the beach ( though you can't see it from the location) which gives you the option of picnicking on the beach. Coffee was good and canned beer is an option too. Parking is a bear and I personally would not drive there just for brunch on the weekend and have to circle for parking just to eat there... but I would Uber on a weekend. And face it - you are at the beach in San Diego and this location is kinda in a parking lot of a hotel. You order and can take your food to go ( picnic option at the beach) or there are a few outdoor seats. Service was relatively quick when you take into account the nonstop business and orders they get. read more

Super tasty Benedict, and great atmosphere right near dog beach. Next time I'm getting the breakfast burrito, it looked fire .

Amazing staff, chill atmosphere, and clean outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend trying the açaí bowl or the breakfast burrito.

Hole in the wall spot on the corner with good vibes and good eats. read more

This place was a total surprise. It's a trailer parked in a hotel by the beach but they're making some serious breakfast! The breakfast sandwich was massive and the bread was incredible. It was nice and salty and big portions or avocado. It was excellent! The chef was very interested in how the food was and really seemed to care that we enjoyed it. The location is right next to the beach and there couldn't have been more sun. I'll be back for sure! read more

Amazing food!! Amazing service!! Amazing ambiance!! I got the Benedict because of you go to a place called Benedict's, why not? The chipotle hollandaise sauce was to die for. Coupled with the spinach, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, my meal was fantastic. My husband got the breakfast sandwich and loved it. Our only "complaint" was the portion sizes were huge and we couldn't finish it all. read more

We had the best Friday morning brunch experience at Benedict's near Dog Beach. First off, the food was amazing! Cooked to perfection and delicious! The service was also perfect! Everyone was attentive and a joy to be around. This outdoor cafe is a great place to bring your family (including your fur babies) for a nice casual meal and then hop over to the beach for some sun and fun. We will absolutely keep coming back!

Saying this out of love.. yall have great food but NEED to get rid of your Revi ordering system! I've seen over a dozen people walk away midway through ordering, including myself. The user experience is awful especially if you're over the age of 40 or so trying to figure out the ordering system. As example, try ordering a breakfast burrito substituting egg due to food allergy. read more
