    Eggs and french toast with country potatoes
    Alejandra G.

    It looks great, it was remolded. Owner is really nice. Food is delicious. Plenty of parking. The owner is changing the hours. The orange juice is good and fresh.

    Such a cute spot. Lots of parking is available in the front of the store! Inside is nicely decorated for the holidays. The food was so good. Bacon, gravy & biscuits, & breakfast potatoes. Everything was cooked to perfection. Service was quick & friendly, not too busy the morning of Christmas Eve! I'll for sure be back since it's in Mission Valley hotel area.

    Really good, chill and modern location right on the boulevard of Hotel Circle. We got Pizza last night (Deluxe) with the Pear & Gorganzola Salad Greens, which was phenomenal. We decided to come back for breakfast due to the look, vibe and food preparation. Come breakfast morning, we arrived early and a few customers were already eating. The server took a long time and I had to prompt her that we are ready. (-1 star) She lacked attention, service and following up our entire time. The food was again delicious and prepared clean and nutritional. Not complaints.

    Tried someplace different today and went to Crust Kitchen in Fashion Valley. The service was outstanding with the waitress being very kind and efficient. The food was abundant and very tasty. The ambiance was an upbeat restaurant serving all three meals. With a bar and TVs to watch sports and news. Give them a try when you are out that way.

    Located on Hotel Cir by Atwood Hotel along Interstate 8. Plenty of parking and near many hotels. I came here because I wanted a good Angus Burger, but this place has such a big variety of food items such as 'Pizza, pasta, sandwiches, burgers, breakfast, and dinner plates'. I tried their 'Crust Burger' which is served with fries. The burger was delicious! The bun was perfectly toasted on the outside yet soft inside. Their fries are so yummy, seasoned just right. For dessert, I had their 'Carrot Cake' which went perfectly with my meal. That was one of the best carrot cakes I've ever had. The restaurant is clean with a good atmosphere. Full bar with happy hour from 2 pm to 6 pm. I ordered To-Go and waited about 20 minutes for my meal. Service was great. Shout out to 'Brenda' who was very welcoming and friendly. She offered me iced water as I waited for my food. Overall, I had a pleasant experience here and will definitely return to try their breakfast as it looks appetizing.

    Walked in to a wonderful Saturday brunch experience with the most wonderful server ever - shout out to Vera and her absolutely gracious and welcoming personality! We had the Mediterranean Omelette, Two Eggs and Sausage and the Agave Cream Soda. The meals were generously portioned with great flavors and fair pricing. We loved the retro modern vibe in the bright space. Vera checked in on us often with a bright sunny smile and topped up our soda and coffee, always checking if we needed anything else. Perfect service at a perfect venue. We will be back for sure Crust Kitchen!

    Carrot Cake

    Restaurant definitely has been around for years as it looks and has a nostalgic vibe, and can use quite a few upgrades. There is a bar and TVs, music was good and not too loud. The service was all right just thought it a little out of sorts as they didn't want to take your drink order unless they took your food order so if you're thirsty, you're gonna wait a minute it. Food came out in a recent amount of time. Presentation was fine and the food tasted good, as we really enjoyed the buffalo chicken fries the chicken is fried, both salads were nice side portions as well as kids chicken tenders. Had the carrot cake and it was delicious.

    For our last night, we had reservations at a fancy rooftop restaurant overlooking the ocean... but after spending the entire day AT the ocean and being absolutely exhausted, we decided to just walk to CRUST KITCHEN which was adjacent to our hotel. It was PERFECT for us! Our friendly server gave some recommendations and we ordered two of them, definitely pleased with the decisions. Hubby had a lemon chicken and I went with the Paris burger. The flavorful piccata-esque sauce was on the side and I used it to dip his unwanted vegetables. (Haha) They were nicely cooked, soft enough, but still had an al dente bite to them. He enjoyed every bit of his chicken which he declared tender and well seasoned. My Paris burger was perfect! Cooked medium well, brioche bun, caramelized, onions, mushrooms and Gruyère cheese all deliciously worked together. I thought it would need some kind of green to cut the fat, but somehow, it didn't taste greasy at all. The fries were crispy and the beers were cold. Crust Kitchen was a good choice for certain!

    The food was delicious, & the ambiance was welcoming and the owner was kind. My only issue was we felt forgotten once we got our food. I tried to get a water refill for 20 minutes to no avail and ended up taking my table mates as she had something else to drink.

    Crust Chicken Sandwich Lunch
    Sergio G.

    Great experience Our server was very welcoming Chicken sandwich (crust chicken sandwich) Was great (4/5) Cooked well. Chips kinda sucked. Preference would be fries or something softer. Mac n Cheese fries were okay. (3/5) tasted like a loaded potato more then fries since they became soggy. But decent. Plenty of seating. I would definitely return.

    The napkins I used to soak up the oil before I ate. Four napkins.

    I ordered the corner beef eggs benedict and it was great portion size, flavor but two thing that didn't sit well. The eggs were supposed to be over medium but they were fully cooked instead. The amount of oil on the bottom of the plate was obscene. I tilted the plate to pool on a corner and I used four napkin to soak up most of it. Service is amazing, location for me is great. If it wasn't for the eggs and oil I would have given a 5. The service is worth the visit.

    Country Fried Steak Dinner Plate
    Scott B.

    If you're staying near hotel circle in San Diego, Crust Kitchen is a nice casual restaurant to try. Many nice reviews for their pizzas and pies, but I decided to try the chicken fried steak. The steak was tender, and the mashed potatoes with brown gravy was very tasty. Awesome service and offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. Walking distance from several near by hotels.

    Best damn pizza we have had in a long time!…read more After a day of sightseeing, we were too tired to go out for dinner. Pizza was the perfect option. So, as a Yelper I scrolled until I found something great. Most importantly it had to be delivery.

I also gota pepperoni, basil, ricotta, hot honey slice which was better. The crust was decent and had more chew than crisp. While it was okay, I'd prefer to go to another shop when I'm craving a slice.

    Pizza Wasn't the Only Thing Getting Fired Up Outside…read more We weren't even customers here, but after what I saw outside this place I definitely won't be one in the future. We were standing on the sidewalk near the red seating area in front of Filippi's Pizza Grotto for about ten minutes finishing a smoke. I had recently experienced a flare-up of a chronic illness, which significantly affected my well-being. During this episode,I had felt the need to smoke as a way to manage the heightened stress and discomfort caused by my condition. Right as we finished and were about to leave, a police car pulled up (it honestly looked like the officer was just stopping by to grab lunch). That's when an older lady employee from the restaurant suddenly came outside and said, "Do you mind moving down? The smoke is going into my restaurant." Fair request. We immediately responded respectfully with "Sorry miss," and started walking away to avoid any issue. But instead of leaving it there, she kept escalating the situation while they were already leaving, repeating things like "This is a family business, have some respect!" -- which didn't really make sense considering we had already apologized and were doing exactly what she asked. What made the whole thing feel strange was the timing. We had been standing there for around ten minutes already. If the smoke was truly bothering the restaurant, why wait until the exact moment a police car pulled up to come outside and confront us? From the outside, it honestly looked like the presence of the police suddenly gave her the confidence to make a scene and try to draw attention to us even though we were already complying. It appears she wanted to get us into legal trouble with her making it a bigger scene in front of the police. Another thing that didn't sit right with me was that we were the only Hispanics standing in the area at the time and the only people she chose to confront. I'm not saying that was the intention, but from a bystander's perspective it definitely didn't look great. Also, I'm still confused by the "this is a family restaurant" comment. What exactly does that mean in this situation? Are people who smoke not allowed to eat there? Because we weren't even customers at the moment we were simply standing on a public sidewalk and immediately moved when asked. If someone respectfully complies with your request, there's really no reason to continue escalating the situation or trying to involve the police by drawing attention to it. If this is how people are treated outside the restaurant, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence about how customers are treated inside. It appears that if you're Hispanic or a smoker you should steer clear of this place. I wouldn't be surprised if she has ICE on speed dial.

When we got there it was a 45 min wait so we sat at the bar. The bartender was very nice and helpful. The cider I got was ok but it was only $9 so I'm not complaining. Let's talk about food. I got the burrata pizza. This was my fault cause i was still expecting sauce but there was none. Which I kind of understand but for $19 I would have rather just got a burrata platter as like a dip. The dough was honestly amazing. Crust is very fluffy, closer to the center is extremely thin. Overall it was good and fresh but I wouldn't pay $19 for it again. Sister got the spicy salami. Again the dough was good. Sauce was good definitely a more savory red sauce. Salami was fs spicy, we love spice but this fs had a kick. Overall good I think it could have been great with a hot honey. Pizza is on the bigger side. There's only 4 slices but it's more like 8 regular slices. More than enough for one person. We both only had half and saved the rest for home. To wrap it up, the ambiance is good for a nice night out but the food is only ok for the price. Very fresh and good but I would rather spend less on a good pizza than more on a gourmet place. Would recommend for a nice date night or something like that.

    This place was absolutely amazing. To start off with the most important part, the food. We began…read morethe meal with the mini fried calzones with mozzarella and tomato sauce inside and they were great. You could tell the bread was super fresh and high quality so I would recommend it. Next, we got a glass of prosecco. I told the waiter that I only like wine that tastes much more sweet then bitter or strong and he made a perfect suggestion along with giving us a sampler of 3 different wines which was so generous. I got to try them all and pick the one I liked the most, but even the samples were a generous size. For main course I got one of the current options for the cheese wheel pasta they make in front of you in cacio e pepe and my husband got the formaggi pizza with truffle mushrooms. My husband absolutely loved his pizza and the crust was one of the best he's ever had. My pasta was fresh and had a ton of sauce and cream so they didn't skimp at all. I could tell easily that they use very high quality Parmesan because i'm a Parmesan connoisseur and could taste how potent it was. They let me have as much extra as I wanted on without limiting since I enjoy a lot on it which was also a plus in my book. Next time I would get a pasta that's a little lighter, because it was a more heavy dish and it tends to make me feel pretty full after which is totally a me thing, but they have so much on the menu to try that I'm sure I'll love whatever I get even more next time. Lastly, dessert. We got a regular tiramisu and it was absolutely amazing. They put a ton of cream which is exactly what I look for. It wasn't too espresso or cocoa strong and had a perfect ratio. The cream was so light and fluffy that we had to get another one to bring home and eat tomorrow night! I had seen a previous review on here about someone not liking the tiramisu here and it not meeting their expectations for a more upscale Italian place but I've been to quite a few authentic Italian gems and this one had tiramisu up there so I'd have to disagree and completely recommend! The service was impeccable. Every waiter was kind and prompt, constantly making sure we were taken care of and getting what we needed. The atmosphere was also a plus for us because we have a 1 year old baby and there was enough room where we weren't too cramped or crowded in, and it wasn't too loud or overstimulating. The place was very clean and taken care of as well as the bathrooms. All in all, I loved this place and I will be coming back. I would definitely recommend Monello for a nice little date night, and don't forget the tiramisu.

I honestly come just for this. It's served with a honeycomb on the side, and drizzling the honey over the warm, cheesy bread is next‑level. After that, pizzas came out -- simple, toasty, and really good -- followed by pasta with chicken and sausage served on the side. Everyone left with full bellies. The service was great, and they even wrapped and boxed all the leftovers for us. One thing to note: they do the whole photo‑taking and printed‑photo sales pitch, kind of like what you see at amusement parks when you first walk in. The photos are cute, but it can feel a little invasive. Overall, a lovely restaurant and a great event experience.
