Breakfast Republic - Eggs Benedict with Jurassic bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Fernando was a great server, very friendly, efficient, and the food was delicious. We will definitely return on our next visit to San Diego

Such a fun place with delicious food! I especially love that they use organic eggs and organic coffee! I ordered the tostados with over medium eggs. Very fresh dish- I didn't miss the meat at all. My husband and I split the cinnamon role pancakes. It was very good! Service was fantastic, everyone was friendly and we were taken care of. Love the decor in the bathroom ! read more

I'm honestly still shocked by how this situation was handled. We ordered food and asked for a refill of Dr Pepper. When the refill came, there were visible pieces of what appeared to be meat/food debris inside the drink. This wasn't a tiny speck or something we had to search for--the material was clearly visible in the cup, and we immediately brought it to the staff's attention. What was most concerning was the response we received. Instead of taking the situation seriously and investigating how food could have ended up inside a beverage, we were told that we could have possibly backwashed into the drink or somehow contaminated it ourselves. That response was extremely inappropriate. We were customers asking for a refill we did not contaminate our own drink and then bring it to the staff as a complaint. The fact that this possibility was even suggested rather than immediately addressing the sanitation concern was incredibly disappointing. I have photographs documenting exactly what was inside the cup. I'm sharing them because customers deserve to see what we were given and understand why we were concerned. Mistakes can happen in any restaurant. What matters is how management handles them. I would have expected the drink to be taken seriously, the source of the contamination to be investigated, and an apology to be offered. Instead, the responsibility was essentially shifted onto us. I hope management takes this seriously and reviews its beverage preparation, ice, cups, and sanitation procedures. A customer should never have to question whether their drink contains food debris and they certainly shouldn't be blamed for it when they bring the issue to staff's attention. Very disappointing experience. I would strongly encourage management to investigate what happened here. Hi Jeanine, Thank you for taking the time to respond. I do appreciate you acknowledging my concerns and saying that the situation was taken seriously. However, there are still a few things I feel need to be addressed. I checked the balance of the additional gift card that you stated was provided to me as a gesture of goodwill, and there is no balance on the card. I would appreciate clarification as to whether the card was actually loaded or activated. I also want to clarify that the interaction with the staff was a major part of why this experience was so upsetting. When we brought the drink to your staff's attention, the conversation became increasingly uncomfortable, and we felt as though the responsibility was being placed back on us. We were asked whether we could have somehow caused the contamination, and I was also told to let you know if we became sick. Hearing that after finding what appeared to be food debris in a drink was extremely concerning. Our concern wasn't simply about receiving a replacement drink or compensation. We were concerned about how something that appeared to be food contamination ended up in the beverage in the first place, and we expected the situation to be handled as a legitimate food-safety concern rather than having to defend how it could have happened. I appreciate you acknowledging that our initial interaction left us feeling dismissed. However, I want to be honest that the conversation actually became worse as we tried to address the issue, and that interaction is a significant part of why this experience was so disappointing. At this point, I also want to be clear that I genuinely don't want the gift card anymore. After this experience and the way the situation was handled, I don't feel comfortable returning. I would rather take my business elsewhere. The gift card was never the reason I brought this concern forward in the first place; I wanted the issue to be acknowledged and taken seriously. One other thing that concerned me was that when you told us to let you know if we became sick, no contact information was requested from us and there was no discussion about how you intended to follow up with us regarding our condition. Given the nature of what we found in the drink and the fact that he became nauseated and nearly vomited afterward, I found that particularly concerning. If this was genuinely being treated as a serious matter, I would have expected at minimum for our information to be taken so that management could properly follow up with us. I hope management genuinely reviews what happened, including the beverage preparation, ice, cups, sanitation procedures, and most importantly, how concerns like this are communicated to customers when they bring them forward. Thank you for your response. read more

The service was amazing. Our waiter and hostess was great and treated us well. The food was as good as it could've been. The portion was great for the price. The place itself was clean and quiet but not too quiet. Overall. It was a nice experience for the price. Would come again to try something new. read more

A little last-minute change for breakfast that ended up being amazing. Not our original choice this morning, but Breakfast Republic blew us away. They were packed but we got seated right away and served pretty quickly. For a breakfast place, I was expecting smaller servings but the amount of food you get here will keep you full until dinner time. The omelet is about the size of a forearm while the Benedict was like two fists. On top of that, the amount of potatoes you get is ridiculous but in a good way. This will be a place worth visiting any time we're in San Diego as it's not far from the beachside plus it's by the pier if you want to do some exploring afterwards. read more

This place is extremely popular and was just a short walk from my hotel. The wait for food is pretty long. I waited over 25-30 minutes, but the place was busy and the kitchen was sending them out in the order received so can't do much about it. I had the steak and eggs, with sourdough toast and a side of fruit, and fresh-squeezed OJ. The steak came topped with some microgreens, but due to the cyclospora outbreak, I didn't try those. The steak was cooked to the proper temp (M) and the eggs were scrambled with cheese, but they both needed salt and pepper once I tasted them. Their version of steak sauce was a little too sweet for me, unfortunately. The jam for the sourdough toast was delicious and the oj was pretty sweet. Overall an average meal but I didn't leave hungry. read more

Breakfast Republic is definitely a popular spot. The vibe is really fun with great music playing, making it a perfect brunch place. We ordered the pancake flight, which was awesome because we got to try three different flavors. They also have a ton of merch if you're into that, which adds to the whole experience. Service was friendly overall, but it did slow down toward the end. We ended up waiting about 15 minutes just to get our check, which was a little frustrating. Overall, it's a solid brunch spot with great energy and good food, just make sure you're not in a rush when you go. read more

Great experience coming here on a Saturday for brunch! Vibes are great. I ordered a breakfast burrito, which I have pretty high standards for, and unfortunately it wasn't anything amazing -- I'd order something else next time. I also wasn't a huge fan of the sauce it came with, it was quite vinegary. Server and hostess were both great and very communicative. Overall I'd give it a 3.5. read more

I was extremely disappointed with the service. Our server was extremely rude and kept cutting us off as we were trying to place our order. Lol my favorite part was him huffing at my friend when she asked him to change the lemonade to a strawberry lemonade. I do like the ambiance of this location because there's a lot of natural light, but unfortunately 50 dollars for bland and mediocre food and extremely poor service is not something I will coming back to. read more

Tried this place for brunch with the fam for the first time. Cute theme and easy to access location off Mission blvd in PB. We walked so didn't have to worry about parking. There was a bit of a wait for a table and wait for food once we put our order in. Our server was responsive and helpful. Quality of food was good and the kitchen accommodated our special requests- eggs on the side for breakfast tostada and veggie sausage with the American breakfast. My daughter felt her brioche French toast was just OK. Husband enjoyed the carne asada chilliquilles. We tried the "best Bloody Mary in SD" as claimed on the menu. They were pretty darn good, so I say give them a shot! Spicy and flavorful. Large portions and tasty food. The wait time despite the restaurant not seeming full and restroom not super clean are the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Would come back again! P.S. I regret not snapping pics of food but was so hungry by the time it arrived that I forgot! Next time read more

This is my favorite Breakfast Republic location! Two blocks from the beach and across the street from a coffee shop, perfect spot. There's plenty of parking nearby and a lot behind the building. I always get the Chiliquiles but today I decided to go with something different and realized I have never reviewed this place! Today I got the protein omelet with vegan eggs (I have an egg intolerance) and my fiancee got the steak and eggs. She also got the OJ and I ordered a Jurassic Bloody Mary. My bloody Mary was divine, one of the best ones I've had. The perfect little spice! My omlet and potatoes were also fire! The potatoes were so yummy with rosemary too! My only qualm with the omlet was the lack of ham. My fiancees dish was also fantastic! The only draw back about this place is the wait, which what do you expect your right by the beach. But service can also be pretty spotty. Luckily today we got a great server named Michael! read more

Terrific breakfast spot in PB! Great drinks, service, prices, and food. I had the BR Breakfast Sandwich, which comes with a garlic aioli on sourdough toast, with tomatoes, marinated thick cut bacon (Jurassic Pork), two eggs over easy, and I added fresh avocado slices, paired with home fries. The eggs were cooked perfectly, home fries just crispy yet tender, and bread was fresh. Very very good. I'll be back when in PB. read more

Came here twice during my trip to PB because the first meal was so good. everything we ordered was really well done, the service was friendly both times, and the food came out surprisingly fast. If it's your first time, I'd recommend getting one of the scrambles or omelets and upgrading the toast to a side of pancakes. Definitely worth it. The potatoes were crispy, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the pancakes were fluffy without being too heavy. The French toast was also really good if you're looking for something sweeter. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in San Diego. read more

I was on my way home from San Antonio to Seattle with a stopover in San Diego. I did't realize when I booked by tickets that it was a6 hour delay. Instead of bellyaching about having to hang out at the airport, I remembered that it's San Diego, where I went to grad school, and everywhere was 30 minutes from the beach. Grabbed my niece, threw her in a rental car, and literally 20 minutes later I'm at Mission Beach. Bought some beach gear since our bags were still checked and got to sit in the sand a little. Before I could get hangry, we left for brunch and Yelp recommended Breakfast Republic and thank you Yelp for doing that because this place was great. Quirky decor and crazy good shrimp and grits made me super happy and my niece enjoyed her chocolate [pancakes. Fueled for more fun, we hung out at PB, feeding birds leftover pancakes and toast and my niece had one off the best days ever. So glad I could I've that to her, all because of an over extended stopover. read more

We arrived early in the morning so the place was not yet busy but the bartender/wait staff Michelle was alone and politely asked us to give her a couple minutes. No worries. She sat us in a desirable location out of the way and quickly took our drink order. The place is cute and has a chicken and egg theme throughout. By the time we finished our meal the place was packed and you Could tell it was a local favorite. The food is the real star of the show. Fresh eggs, what looked to be homemade jam and breakfast potatoes to die for! It looks like the food is top notch and locally sourced. I don't know for sure but it was one of the best breakfasts ever! I had the American breakfast with eggs bacon and toast while my boys got the crab benedict, pancakes and my husband got the steak and eggs! We were all thoroughly impressed with the food, the service, and overall vibe! Michelle was a consummate professional and very kind. I would love to have this restaurant in my hometown so I could go there more often. This is a DO NOT MISS for BREAKFAST if staying in Mission Beach San Diego! Great way to end our last full day in San Diego on vacation! They have indoor and outdoor seating. It was a chilly day or we would have definitely sat outside!! Fully accessible and so happy we found this place! read more

(Review for this location in particular) TL;DR: We were sitting and eating a shorter time than how long we waited! That should tell you all you need to know. The line to put your name on the waitlist took 10 minutes, slow hostess. Then, we waited over the quoted 35 minutes just to get sat. The nice thing about B Repub is the food comes out pretty quick and the actual servers are efficient. Reliable food but the wait is just crazy for what it is. read more

Breakfast Republic - Best Breakfast on OB - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

My family and I chose to visit this location on a late Sunday morning. It's a Pretty popular location , and had a lot of people waiting to be seated. We were told there was a 20-30 min wait for our party of 5 and half , but literally we were called to be seated not even 5 mins after we had placed our name on the waiting list. We were placed by the front door in a large booth across from the bar. Our server was fast and friendly and our food came out quickly , fresh , hot and nicely plated/ presented. I ordered the *California breakfast burrito (eggs, potatoes , skirt steak, pico infused guacamole , bacon, cheddar cheese, Sour cream) which was accompanied by black beans and Mexican rice , and I also ordered an extra side of *bacon , *home fries and *two Jurassic Bloody Marys (the only difference I noticed from a regular Bloody Mary was that the Jurassic Bloody Mary is served with a slice a bacon in it ). Regardless, I really enjoyed their version of the Bloody Mary and i can understand why it's been voted #1 Bloody Mary in San Diego . I also seen they have a drink called a bloody Maria ( for all my tequila drinkers ). My best friend ordered the *shrimp and grits and Jurassic Bloody Mary . She said that she enjoyed her meal but said that she's been to a different location and said the food at the other location was prepared a lot better . One of my daughters and my god son ordered the *Oreo cookie pancakes . My daughter wasn't a huge fan of the pancakes but my God son swore by them. My other daughter ordered the *strawberry and mascarpone French toast, a side of bacon and a side of home fries, all 3 of them got the bottomless strawberry lemonade and said it was different but really good . they all took advantage of the "bottomless" and each had close to 4 refills on the lemonade by the time we left. One of my daughters said it tastes like the strawberry lemonade had sprite in it . We all sampled each other's meals and discussed what we felt about our choices. * California breakfast burrito : 8/10 * home fries : 4/10 * Shrimp and grits : 8/10 * Oreo cookie pancakes: 5/10 * strawberry and mascarpone French toast : 10/10 *Jurassic Bloody Mary : 10/10 , HIGHLY recommend lol *bottomless strawberry lemonade: 10/10 Restaurant was clean and nicely ran. Everyone was so polite, friendly and happily assisting each other. We had people who were not our server, randomly checking on us, refilling drinks , retrieving food and requested condiments. Including one of the managers , I believe his name was Jay or maybe Justin. Forgive me if I'm wrong on the name . But he was very professional and out helping and Checking on those dinning in . We enjoyed our visit at this location and would recommend anyone in the area looking for a good breakfast and definitely any Bloody Mary drink fans to give this place a try. read more

Amazing breakfast. I got the spicy chicken with eggs and biscuit. My fiance got their Benedict. Beautifully cooked and their cocktails were phenomenal. The interior was well set and spacious but it was very warm inside. The service was great in the beginning but we didn't get checked up on for refills or if we needed our check. Had to find someone for that help. Besides the service, the food is 100% worth the try and for the price point. read more

This place was great! Being vegan, we love Breakfast Republic for their many options. Usually the service is only okay but we go back for the food. This was our first time at this location and it's super cute! We added our license plate at the front desk to park for free for 2 hours. The wait was quick and the person who helped us, Maddie, was AMAZING!! We work at a restaurant, so we're pretty observant when it comes to other breakfast places. We heard the way she spoke to a large party and she was awesome. She seemed to be a host/ server and I saw how she was on top of everything! Constantly moving and working hard at all times. I want to hire her for my restaurant!! Our server seemed to be new and he wasn't attentive at all. He didn't refill anything, we had to ask someone else. He didn't bring the check until we asked after waiting for over 20 min after the plates were cleared. Our food though, was BOMB! The pancakes were the best I've ever had. I've had them many times before and sometimes they're dry and no fruit. These were soooo good I kept saying yuuuuuum as I ate each bite!! The benny was very good, we shared both plates. I wanted more! Overall.. great experience!! We will definitely come back to this location now, over all of the rest. For the pancakes and hopefully to sit with Maddie! read more

Breakfast Republic was one of the breakfast options within our immediate eyesight while walking alongside the beach. Customer service was fantastic! We were greeted immediately, the host gave us a 10-15 minute wait time, and once a table was ready our server greeted us and took our order within minutes of sitting. Our classic breakfast selections were prepared perfectly, I greatly appreciate the abundance of vegetables in my omelette. Breakfast Republic is perfect for large or small groups, with great photo opportunities all throughout the restaurant. All around great dining experience, I highly recommend! read more

Another great breakfast spot in San Diego... There seemed to be many chain locations of this! The place had a casual, BoHo, comfy vibe...and I liked it right away. I ordered this pancake Trio platter...which turned out to be HUGE!!! A giant version of what you'd get at Snooze A.M. back in Charlotte, NC. I thought the presentation could have been nicer though...bit sloppy. No matter, the pancakes were absolutely delicious. My husband got this Mexi-influenced plate (forgot the name), but he really enjoyed it as well. Again, the presentation was kinda bad...as in no effort. For the sloppy presentation, I must dock a star. If only the kitchen staff made just an ounce of effort into making these dishes look nicer, I would have been more than happy to drop 5 stars! Still, this place was really good! There are so many great breakfast places in San Diego... Please hurry and make your way to down south to Charlotte! read more

The PB location of Breakfast Republic replaced an establishment that was a popular drinking hole. Consequently, this Breakfast Republic has a much larger bar area than the other branches within the business chain. You can park in one of the numbered spots at the shared lot to the east of the building. Pay the meter for up to two hours and take the ticket inside to give to your server. They will then validate and deduct that amount from the check at the end of your meal. The take-out shack, Eggies, is attached to the front right part of the structure if you want to get some breakfast grub to go. I have generally enjoyed the food from my previous visits at some of their other locations in the SD area. This time I selected the Portuguese Linguisa Sausage Scramble. Three scrambled eggs were served with house potatoes and my choice of wheat toast. Linguisa, hot sauce, green bell pepper, garlic, tomato, thyme, and oregano were the other ingredients that were mixed in with the eggs. The scramble was tasty and had a nice bit of kick from the hot sauce. The service was mediocre as I have experienced better for a busy breakfast spot. What's more concerning is that this place has been closed down multiple times for various reasons... utility issues, failed health inspection, etc. These aspects lowered my rating of this Breakfast Republic to a three star level. read more
