    We had a great time dining in today. Our server Roset took care of us and treated us like family. The food was great and great portions. The atmosphere was nice, would def. Come back! Shout out to Roset!

    This was my first time at this location and we were stoked to arrive at 9am on a Sunday to a non-busy restaurant, beating the sunday brunch rush. Instead, our service was so delayed and absent we were forced into it becoming much busier which snowballed into every aspect falling short. The worst thing that can happen to you as a guest is being forced to send your meal back for being cold. It's really a lasting memory of a place which doesn't make you want to return. They seemed understaffed (at least front of the house), which is odd for a prime business day. Our server sat us inside at a dirty table she quickly brushed off. We assumed someone would come back to properly clean it but nope, we had to flag her down to request it. Although we indicated we were waiting for 1 more person, I would have thought waters would at least be brought over, or asked if we wanted to start with anything to drink as we waited. Got our drink orders in which caused another delay in putting in our food orders. Then... we sat. and sat and sat. I had to flag our server down for anything. What's the point of a bottomless drink if you can barely get a refill? I had a feeling once our orders came there would issues. Long delays usually mean my food arrives cold. And I'm sorry, its just unacceptable for breakfast food. I started with the potatoes and when I discovered they were cold, I was disappointed but wouldn't have said anything if the rest was fine. But nope, cold eggs. I refuse to eat cold eggs. This is a food runner problem; I don't blame the kitchen. My food sat on the counter too long (which is easy to happen with breakfast food). However with Breakfast in their name, I don't really have understanding. I had to once again flag down our absent server who came back huffy thinking I was impatient for the salsa I requested. This girl is just a really bad server. I won't blast her in my review, but if the business owner wants to contact me about it, I'm happy to discuss. NOW she became concerned and present. NOW she indicates she'll check back on us. The order was sent back and I don't know if it was remade or reheated, it was barely warm for second attempt. I'm over it at that point. Within several minutes it was as cold as the first delivery but I just ate it. Decided to eat the eggs (not great for leftovers) and save the potatoes/brussels to reheat to desireable temp as a meal at home. Needless to say I wasn't impressed with anything and woul'd return to this location. I've had better experiences at the PB location.

    Breakfast Republic in North Park has easily become one of our absolute favorite breakfast spots. We keep finding ourselves coming back again and again, and it never disappoints! I'm completely obsessed with the Breakfast Sammy--it's hands-down the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had, and I basically order it every single time without fail. Perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon(THE BACON is the best bacon I've had!)... I could eat it every day. The French toast was solid--definitely tasty and a generous portion--but it was a tiny bit on the dry side for my taste. Still totally enjoyable, just could've used a touch more moisture or syrup love. Service is always friendly, the vibe is fun and lively (love all the chicken decor), If you're looking for a go-to brunch place in North Park, this is it. We'll be back (probably next weekend ). Highly recommend!

    Great service, excellent food, and huge portions! Dined on the patio to enjoy the gorgeous California temps! Loved the ambiance with plenty of seating inside and outside. Nice for big groups as well. Had the American breakfast both times I dined here. The breakfast potatoes are so delicious with nice flavor. Also my bacon was perfectly crispy the way I like it :)

    Amazing food, friendly ambiance, and great service. The chilaquiles were delicious, plus they are pet friendly and my server even brought my puppy a whipped cream treat. Highly recommended. I've been there twice already on my visits to San Diego, and will be back again for sure.

    Finally came here after my colleagues raved about the food. We had high expectations, but overall, the food was okay. We like another breakfast spot better for the eggs benedict and chilaquiles; felt like the dishes were missing something, as in something more could be added for added flavor. I liked the cute egg decor though, and the staff were very nice and patient.

    They don't take reservations so you have to put your name down and just wait. Let me warn you. .they give alot of food!! They have pancake and French toast flights for us greedy people! I ordered the buttermilk, strawberry cheesecake and cinnamon roll pancake, fennel chicken sausage omelet and the French toast flight. The star player on the pancake flight was their cinnamon roll with walnuts and glaze! You will not be disappointed! The omelet was pretty good, the chicken sausage was flavorfull. The potatoes are kind of bland though. The French toast flight was strawberry and marscopone, brioche and their mr Presley ( which is stuffed with peanut butter) and bananas on top. There were a couple of hiccups but I would go back. I mentioned no bacon on the mr Presley and sadly my mr Presley had no peanuts butter as well. The chicken sausage omelet had bacon in it also. But the waitress was nice enough to comp that meal. Overall I enjoyed my meal and will definitely come back.

    Such good service and great food!! Jess is so sweet and kind! Happy I got to spend my morning here !

    Not much to say about BR besides that it's overhyped. It's a big chain in San Diego that is practically in every other neighborhood in South County. The menu is large but food is pretty mid. We ordered breakfast: chilaquilles w/ carne asada and the vegan breakfast burrito. The chilaquiles were fine, eggs were a little undercooked and the carne asada was chewy and had NO flavor (for an extra $6 charge). My friend ordered the vegan breakfast burrito with no vegan beef strips and it came with what seemed like extra so she was picking them out. I also ordered the salted caramel latte that was pretty good. overall a very mid experience.

    We arrived around opening and it wasn't too difficult to get a table. The inside is very fun with a lot of chicken themes. I loved the salt and pepper shakers in the shape of eggs. The menu had a great selection. We started with the Jurassic Bloody and the Lychee Mimosa. The Bloody was pretty good. I love that it came with a big thick piece of bacon. I wish it was a little more spicy but it was good! The lychee mimosa was spectacular. I love lychee and I could drink these all day. We both got benedicts, the Jurassic Pork Benedict and Cluck Madame Benedict. My favorite was the Jurassic because I love their bacon! Overall, good place and I would go back!

    Harvest omelet and tres leches pancakes

    Excellent dinning experience! 10/10! Ordered off the Vegan menu, small menu but it did not disappoint. Packed with flavor, DELICIOUS!!!!!! Our server Ivan was amazing and very helpful with customizing my food allergies. Vegan harvest omelet and tres leches pancakes.

    Breakfast Republic (BR) is one of my go-to brunch spots to enjoy the most important meal of the day in the most down-to-earth environment. Each time I order something new, I'm never ever disappointed. I love how creative their dishes are and lots of options to pick from. This is why BR got me hooked and giving them a 5-Star Rating: - Amazing Food - Awesome Service - Attentive Staff - Affordable Prices - Adequate Portions No wonder it's very popular! I definitely recommend BR. :-)

    Totally obliterated chow.

    We were greeted promptly and sat down almost immediately. Ivan introduced himself as our food server. We ordered pancakes, Jambalaya, eggs and brussel sprouts dishes. 100% delicious, I aesthetically pleasing and generous portions. Ivan's service is absolutely commendable. I like the option of getting seated from outdoorzy all the way to the dark and cozy breakfast areas. Their bathroom is clean and neutral smell. I highly recommend Breakfast Republic and I'm definitely coming back to explore more choices from their menu.

    They have a custom blend from the awesome Cafe Moto in Barrio Logan...

    Can I have a event here?

Being a sober girlie, I've heard about this place for years and was thrilled to finally try it so we had to order a few drinks. There's nothing quite like being able to look at a drink menu and know you can order anything from it because it's all sober friendly. They have a CBD infused drink part of the menu, a kava section and a mocktail drink section along with a food menu. The food looked delicious but we came here for a night cap after eating dinner nearby. We snagged 3 drinks- I need to check my notes on which ones we got but they were all so good. This is the type of place you can come here for a first date, date night worh your partner or co-work with your laptop. I saw all varieties of people who were doing their thang and it felt comfortable. The theme is inspired by Mac Miller and the decor is intentional and classic. Word on the street is that the 2 female owners had some disagreements with their investor so there's somewhat bad blood and that's always a bummer to hear people especially those in the sober community not be able to resolve their differences after they've made such an incredibly safe haven for us to enjoy.

I really like the growing NA trend, and even though I drink, it's great to have an alternative, safer-feeling, and more inclusive nightlife option. I came with a couple friends on a Sunday night, about a week ago. We all drink alcohol, but we've all been drinking less lately. The place was almost empty around 8pm, which we found concerning for its prospective longevity. We also thought the prices were pretty steep -- maybe I'm biased as someone who drinks alcohol, but if I'm getting a mocktail or other NA drink, I'd like to pay less than $15+ for it. Still, I ordered the Ave Maria and thought it was one of the best mocktails I've ever had. One of my friends got the Malibu (he liked it but did complain about the price), and I don't remember what my other friend got. We sat for a while and played Connect4 using the fanciest set I'd ever seen. Some more people came in, so it didn't feel nearly as empty by the time I left. I'd probably come back, but only if I was with someone who doesn't drink and/or really wanted to try this bar. I hope they make it!
