Amazing experience at Breakers in Rockaway Beach. The view was gorgeous, great lookout onto the water. Pacifica is a quaint area and that is reflected at Breakers. The restaurant had a homey feel and the staff were super friendly and astute. I got the patty melt and it was divine. The bread was buttery and crisp, while the beef was fresh, tender and warm. The fries were decadent, salty and delicious. The salad was refreshing. The ranch and chipotle aioli were savory and complimented the fries and sandwich perfectly. Amazing experience overall!
We had breakfast here a while ago, and it was such a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, the portions were generous, and the servers were very friendly and welcoming. One of the biggest advantages of this place is the location near the ocean. If the weather is nice, it's incredibly pleasant to have breakfast or lunch there and then go for a walk afterward. I would definitely love to come back!
First timers! Will come back. Lovely outdoor seating. Great service but the food was even better! Chefs kiss
We decided to check out Breakers for lunch while we were visiting the area. The location is amazing as it is right off of the highway 1 beaches. The service was fine- the lady we ordered with at the counter was friendly. The people who drop the food off at the tables were in a rush and not attentive. The interior has ample seating ans they offer outdoor seating as well. Typical dinner style inside. The food was mid at best. We opted in for a burger and a patty melt. It tasted like there wasn't a drop of salt or seasoning on anything. The cheese wasn't even melted on the burger. Major disappoint, especially given the price point.
I came here and a weekday and there was a pretty decent line which speaks for itself. I was however a little disappointed by the service here. The staff wasn't very friendly and just wanted to get the order done with. This spot is a place where you order and then find a seat. It was a bit hard to find an open seat for two. Overall though the chicken and waffles was good the omlette was kind of mid.
My daughter & her boyfriend treated me to a birthday brunch here... it was off the charts GREAT!!! Great menu, so many things to choose from but thought I'd go for the fish & chips. This was thee best fish & chips ever! Figured since we're close to the ocean, it HAD to be good & it didn't disappoint!! DELICIOUS!! ..as were the lightly battered fries & crunchy side salad cold slaw! My daughter had the crab sandwich (REAL crab & lots of it) & her boyfriend a much simpler brunch of spinach, bacon mushroom omelet with hash browns. The tropical smoothie with coconut, pineapple was the perfect ending to a DELICIOUS day!! We also sat outside since I had my yorkie with me. Beautiful day all around!! Can't wait to come back since I live in the Valley!
My boyfriend and I normally don't review places, even if we don't like them. I don't want to bash a small business however I want to put this out there for their improvement. My biggest complaint is how disgustingly stained the plastic coffee mug was. You could even see lots of scratches from people stirring their coffee... not sanitary or acceptable. When I started to get down to see the brown stain that's when I stopped drinking it (my boyfriend did finish his though) The price to quality ratio is absurd. We spent $81.68 including a 20% tip for two coffees, disappointing imitation crab eggs Benedict, a comparatively small vegetarian burrito served by itself on the plate, and a cup of chowder. Food was really not good enough to be this expensive. I get that the restaurant is right by the water but still.. Overall I would like to see this restaurant which has a lot of potential to take more pride in their food quality, and general aesthetics (coffee mugs/ slanted pictures on walls/ outdoor plant pots with just dirt in them) We are very disappointed that we had to spend our hard earned money on this experience but we hope to see it improve in time to come. Employees were very friendly which was a plus. We want to like this place but all of these things make it difficult to do so.
I hate to do this but I must. I asked the cashier what are the top 3 dishes for breakfast and lunch. I went with the advice of huevos rancheros and oh boy, it was a BIG disappointment! I can't believe what they served bc it looked and tasted like they cleared out the fridge. I've never had olives and ground beef in my huevos rancheros. It was disgusting, I couldn't finish my food. I couldn't believe it was a top 3 item let alone it being served. I'm all about trying new things and adding a little twist but this shouldn't be on the menu. I gave it 2 stars bc my picky daughter enjoyed their chocolate chip pancakes. I don't plan to come back. I paid way too much for terrible food. Sorry guys.
Had breakfast here again, this time with just one other person. Service was still top notch and really friendly. You pick up a menu when you enter, then order and pay at the counter. They give you a cone with number on it and you choose a table and take a seat. They bring you the food when it's ready. This time I had the Greek omelette. While their prices are rather high, it's a lot of food. I could only finish half of my meal. It came with hash browns and toast. The omelette was delicious and I asked for my hash browns to be extra crispy and they were exactly that. I asked for sourdough toast and got 2 slices. My friend had the omelette with bacon and avocado and she loved it. I was a bit envious of the raisin bread toast I saw on her plate; it was nice and thick and looked soft on the inside. Our coffee was refilled several times while we sat and chatted and they checked on us without being intrusive. This is the perfect place to dine before going whale watching!!
Good quick breakfast. Food was very bland but not gross. You walk in look at the menus and order at the counter before seating yourself. Food is brought out pretty quickly, employees are nice. Of you need a quick breakfast before getting back on the road this will do.
We stopped in on the way to the beach from Sacramento and it was a cute spot right next to the ocean. It's self seat and you order at the register. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is definitely a small town feel, like everyone's a friend. We ordered and service was quick! Food tasted fresh and the had fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing.
We took a short day trip to Pacifica and stopped at Breakers for Sunday brunch. The wait was about 10 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. They offer both indoor & outdoor seating, and the location is really nice, right by the ocean cliffs with great views. You can walk around to sight see a bit before getting seated. For food, we ordered the crab cake benedict and the crab chowder. The chowder was hearty, delicious and had nice chunks of crab meat, must try if you're a fan of crab. The crab cake was a little too greasy and slightly oversalted for my taste, but the eggs benny were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was spot on. Parking can be a little tricky since there aren't exact designated spots, but we found a space in an alley behind Nick's rockaway. If you're in the area, this is a nice spot for brunch with great ocean views and good food.
The place is very efficient, you order at the counter, get a number, find your table and food is brought in a to go containers. Limited vegan options , I had the grilled portobello mushrooms panini but without cheese it was falling apart. My friend had the tuna melt & said it was one of the best. The pancakes are the size of your head. Staff is very nice and friendly. Cc accepted. read more

Not bad. Pretty big portions. Kind of standard diner menu. Good food. You order at the counter then find a seat and they bring food in to-go containers. Crab crepe was very good. Real crab. Big chunks. Hash browns looked crispy but for some reason were soggy. Also came with a side of cole-slaw flavored salad (or something like that). Good. The breakfast burrito was big. Choice of meat inside. A little too much hash browns inside it. That's what you mostly taste. My opinion is if they added a bit more seafood items to the menu, they could steal a lot of business from the place across the street!! read more

I remember coming to Breakers in Pacifica almost a decade ago when it was still a new restaurant and I loved it. I haven't gone back since until recently and it was decent, but certainly not as amazing as teenage me remembered. I love coming to this part of Pacifica with how scenic it is and it's nice just walking around this environment. The service is good and the ordering process is like some other cafes where you order first at a cashier then sit down and then wait for servers to bring your food to you. I made the rookie mistake of not checking the menu or pictures on Yelp before coming here so I chose the Breakfast Sandwich ($21.99). I didn't know what it looked like and tried looking it up. Turns out my reception just disappears in this part of Pacifica, great. I saw the price tag and was like, "What kind of breakfast sandwich costs over $20, that's absurd to me." I was still curious and was stunned when it came to my table. It's an open faced sandwich and via their menu on their website it has, "Ham, bacon, avocado & tomatoes, stacked on an English muffin, topped with 2 scrambled eggs, combo cheese, sour cream & green onions, side hash browns." It's a lot of food and it was enough for two meals. Flavor wise it was slightly underwhelming honestly. The eggs were a little overdone and bland for my tastes. Everything felt just thrown together and the English muffin didn't taste the most fresh. It was also on the bottom just being suffocated. The bacon was a mess everywhere, but also had no crisp at all. The hash browns were underwhelming because they had zero crisp on top and didn't seem cooked long enough. Definitely hard to justify this price tag. The Plain Waffle ($11.99) was great though. It was a pretty standard waffle, but you can tell they used a good batter. It had a slight crispy, but was also very fluffy on the inside. I enjoyed it more than my open faced breakfast sandwich. A bit of a mixed bag for my experience going to Breakers. Maybe I just didn't order the right item for the best experience. The interior feels comfortable, but old fashion although it has that unique feel that fits right in with Pacifica. I wouldn't rule out coming here again, but definitely come in with the expectation that this is your average breakfast, brunch, and lunch spot. read more

The potatoes needed a bit more flavor and the sourdough bread was a bit too sour, but the roadhouse chili scramble was delicious! It's a perfect place to go for brunch after a hike with friends. It's also very dog-friendly. read more

I have to say it's incredible. I come here weekly for breakfast and the quality of the food is just amazing. The service is amazing, the wide variety of options is great. They have a beautiful sun room area and an outdoor patio. I love how close to the water it is. The views are incredible. I will continue to come here. Thanks! read more

This place is great! Friendly staff, delicious food, and huge portions. Crab sandwich- delicious packed with tons of crab. Definitely add the avocado! Chocolate chip pancakes- bigger than the plate it is being served on. Yummy and fluffy! Chicken and waffles- the chicken is nice and crisp and the waffle has good flavor. French toast with berries- my least favorite. They put a spice in it that just overpowers the whole dish. I think it's nutmeg but I'm not positive. Love the area that it's in. It is right by the water and there are little trails you can walk along. Will definitely go again if I'm in the area. read more

Come here for quick, delicious brunch with no hassle parking. There is a large lot around the corner and I've never had trouble finding parking. Don't let the line out the door deter you away, there usually is a line at Breakers but it goes fast. I've tried their french toast and it definitely hits the spot. When first introduced to Breakers, I was a bit skeptical because they serve everything in take out containers, but it doesn't impact the taste or discount the friendly employees from this establishment. I've enjoyed my visits here and plan on going back for brunch another time. I also recommend taking a walk along the beach after brunch and enjoy the views of Pacifica! read more

Breaker's is a popular spot for breakfast, serving the usual things you'd find at a breakfast place: eggs, french toast, pancakes, waffles, scrambles, omelettes, frittatas, eggs benedict, huevos rancheros. The menu has a huge selection. You're guaranteed to find something you would like to order. They also serve lunch : sandwiches, burgers, salads. I like their omelettes. They are delicious and very filling! You'll find a nice mix of locals and tourists here. Nice place to view the ocean, from outside the restaurant, before or after your meal. And depending on time of year, you may even see whales out there!! Parking is not too bad. There's a bit of street parking. Or you can drive forward past the restaurant where you will find a parking lot at the end and to the left (by Nick's Restaurant). read more

Been coming here for years and during covid too. This is the spot to be for American styled brunch. Expect lines if you go during the weekend and close to noon. If you don't like waits, arrive closer to 11am. This place is also a walk to the counter and order food before sitting down. So I don't think you can 'claim' a table before ordering. They also have outdoor seating, so for those sunny Pacifica days, you can enjoy the sun and ocean. My go to fav dishes would be their waffles, especially their banana pecan. All plates are large. Staff is friendly, they also have some local made shirts, art, and jewelry too. There's too much good things to say so just go try em out. Come hungry. Large plates. read more

Perfect brunch spot for a sunny day in Pacifica! Located right by the beach so you can enjoy some calming ocean sounds during your meal. Outdoor seating available and they even offered to pull out an extra table for us to sit, but one ended up opening up. They have a large menu with lots to choose from. I had the Island French Toast with banana and berries. You can choose 1, 2, or 3 slices. 2 was plenty. Fast, friendly service. read more

This quaint little diner is such a little hidden gem!! It's surrounded by two walking past so after we had our delicious brunch, we got to walk off the extra calories. The restaurant had some outdoor seating area which was filled, but it was also very windy. We decided to sit inside since we are fully vaccinated. The crabcakes were delicious and perfectly tender with a lot of good chunks of crab meat. No fake fillers or anything! The pancakes were super light and fluffy and in every bite I would get coconut, a piece of banana and a piece of the macadamia nuts! They were so sweet I didn't even need syrup! I will definitely be back!!! read more

We visited this brunch spot on a busy Saturday morning but it was still a great experience! Right across from where we were staying (Inn at Rockaway), and service was very fast despite being busy. Food was good, my boyfriend got the crab cake benedict and I got the sausage patty breakfast classic. Good food, good price. read more

Came by after a hike to get brunch! A friend and I split the chocolate chip waffle and sailor omelet. The waffle was delicious and crispy, and tasted similar to an egg waffle. Waffle came with blueberry compote and whipped cream with no additional charge. The omelet was also delicious and the only minor thing was that the spinach could've been more cooked. I got a tropical squeeze smoothie and she got surf splash. Smoothie was not very thick which is how I normally like it and it tasted great. We parked at the beach parking nearby. Would definitely come back again! read more

Place is fast and good service. You come in and order first before sitting. Plenty of seating options inside and outside. I specifically asked my corn been hash to be crispy. They didn't acknowledge and make it to my order. They refilled my coffee. I would come back if I was in the area. read more
When we used to live in Pacifica, we'd go to the beach, hike the trails and enjoy a cup of coffee or two during the weekend, which could suddenly turn into a whirlwind. We'd always pass by this breakfast place and paid it no mind...even with people waiting in line. Then I had the bright idea to check their reviews on Yelp, for I certainly needed the help. I found the reviews were legit, and if you're looking for a breakfast place then it was a hit. So on a cold, frigid and overcast day, we decided to finally eat breakfast here on this side of the bay. They offer free cups of coffee for the costumers waiting outside, which most of us appreciated that a warm cup of beverage they provide. Especially on cold days in Pacifica, and the people waiting outside acted as if their prayers had been answered in a Basilica. When we finally got a table we were famished, because at that point if you'd placed anything in front of me I would finish. Wifey went with the healthy option and got the 3 Eggs Omelet Feta, while I opted for the Country Fried Steak, you betcha. We also shared their "Soup of the day" which was a Lobster Bisque, with a side of Pork Chops cause we ain't taking no risk. It's a good, solid meal for a breakfast place, but it's not the best meal we'd had at this phase. While the food was indeed homey and hearty, the bisque was just a tad too salty. The side of pork chops were a bit dry and overcooked, at least it wasn't undercooked. But the rest of the meal we surely enjoyed, it's not a place one should avoid. All in all I'll give it a 3 1/2 rating...if you don't mind waiting, there ain't no debating, I'll keep on stating, cause I don't like hating. read more

When is the best time to come here when it's not very crowded?
As early as possible or closer to closing-- 2:00 PM
Where do you park at Breakers?
Parking lot at the seafront, but dont tell anyone ;-)
