Coffee, view of bay
Nancy T.

Went to Dorn's this time for breakfast. Lots of people, but we got a table right away on a Saturday, with a nice few of the bay. Justine was our server, nice and friendly. I believe she also had tables further away, as we didn't see much of her. For some reason, I decided to get the pancakes, they sounded good and they were. They give you enough syrup, as some places do not. I also ordered a side of bacon, 4 pcs and I ate 2 and they were pretty good. I have some nice leftovers. The coffee was OK, I hate small mugs. My husband had the Linguica omelette with pepper jack cheese. He thought there was too much bell pepper, not enough eggs and linguica. He got his choice of fruit, potatoes, pancakes, toast or muffin, he chose fruit. used the bathroom, it was cute and nice and clean. I also noticed a grab bar, that's good for individuals that need it.

The restaurant is very cozy modern old feel. Great atmosphere and convenient to so many hotels. We didn't have reservations on a Thursday night and was seated rather quickly. Our server Deedee was bubbly and sweet. She was very personable. I will start this review by bullet pointing to show why I only gave it 3 stars: *The medium rare steak came out well... Even our server mentioned that she told the kitchen team the steak looked overcooked. They still brought it ou times overcooked. *The other two steaks still had some pink but not the medium rare that we are used to. They were salty but I was starving! *The lobster was a bit overcooked so it was rubbery. *They got our orders wrong on two dishes in addition to the dessert. *The chocolate cake was as dry as can be. *We asked for a creme brulee and they brought us a berry cobbler. The reason why we gave 3 stars and not two is because Deedee was just so darn sweet! Other dishes that tasted yum yums! *The scallops were yummy. The lemon caper sauce was really zesty and perfect for the scallops. *The Nancy Salad was extremely yummy. Crisp, fresh and balanced with bleu cheese, bacon, avocado and a creamy dressing. *The AHI was good but the sesame crust was just too much. It overpowered the delicate ahi taste. We want to try their breakfast, since they said their pancakes are supposed to be amazing. Let me see if I can convince the fam to give them another shot.

This is always a favorite restaurant for my husband and I to come to when we come tomorrow Bay. Typically, we'll stop here and do brunch. We can sit outside with our little dog in spend our time walking around the shops. We came today because we just wanted to get away for a little while and enjoy ourselves. There is a line waiting. That's not unexpected. Doran's is a fan favorite. The good news is you can get a drink and wait right by the restaurant and not have any problems. So it makes the waiting go a lot faster. After about 30 minutes we were sat outside and our waitress came and we chatted and gave our order. I was bummed they forgot my puppies chicken breast. It finally came, but only after we had fed her most of our bacon because we figured her chicken wasn't coming. Bummer. That being said, our meals came out and they were just fine. My husband's bloody Mary's were fine. Matter fact you were back for a second. Everyone here was having a good time and enjoying ourselves. To the restaurant, please make sure your bacon is cooked. Halfway cooked bacon is not edible. Unfortunately, the Waitress is running so fast. It was hard to get a hold of her anyhow, will be back again. It wasn't our favorite experience. We've had wonderful enough experiences that we know this was just an off day.

Food is consistently well prepared and delicious. Service is quick even when slammed. Ambiance is comfortable classic. I stop here every time I visit the bay

Eating at Dorn's is like meeting up with an old friend! The other day. I was doing both, since I was meeting my friend and having a fun birthday lunch! We got a cute table with a good view of the bay and it was a beautiful sunny day so the door was open. We each have our favorites here! My friend got the Caesar salad with grilled salmon on top. I usually like the Caesar with blackened salmon, but I chose the shrimp tacos because I had not had them there before. We sipped our Diet Cokes and admired the view while I opened my presents and admired the beautiful roses she had brought for me. The food came out quickly. There was delicious warm sourdough bread to accompany the salad. The salmon on the Caesar was grilled to perfection. My shrimp tacos were a little spicy for me, even though I got the smoked chipotle sauce on the side, but the tortilla itself tamed the heat a bit. We enjoyed the beautiful day in this lovely location. It wasn't crowded for 1 o'clock lunch now that tourist season is over. Dorn's doesn't take reservations, so it's always a little iffy if you go right at peak times. We caught up on all our recent activities and when the waitress asked what the roses were for, I said it was my birthday! Before I could turn around, she brought back a beautiful chocolate mousse with whipped cream on a tray that said happy birthday! Dorn's is a wonderful festive place to have a special occasion meal! It will remain one of my favorite places in Morro Bay!

Los amigos scramble and pancakes. Best pancakes you can get!
Ashley C.

Dorn's Café has been a part of my life for over 30 years, and that kind of consistency is truly special. What I love most is that some things never change -- the pancakes taste exactly the same as they always have, and they're the must-order every single time. Comfort food at its best. The staff has always been friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind, which keeps us coming back year after year. It's also one of the most kid-friendly spots in Morro Bay, making it easy to enjoy a relaxed meal with little ones. What makes Dorn's really meaningful to me, though, is the memories. I was so lucky to come here with my grandma for years, and now I get to sit with my own kids, keeping her memory alive while we eat pancakes and admire Morro Rock. That full-circle feeling is priceless. Dorn's isn't just a restaurant -- it's tradition, comfort, and memories that last a lifetime.

Pancakes are the best!
Sandra P.

Stopped by Dorn's for coffee and pancakes with my boyfriend. Probably the best pancakes I've ever had! Soooo fluffy and topped with whipped butter. We had a last minute surprise cocktail after one of our friends highly encouraged (wink wink!). Never day no to a morning cocktail. By the way, the new bar is gorgeous! I highly recommend you try the dirty martini . Can't wait to return. We had a great time and loved the service.

Blackened swordfish and fries
Greg H.

Went in and had an amazing lunch. The sour dough bread arrived to the table super hot and full of flavor. The butter was also extra special. If I could eat only one thing for the rest of my life this would make the top ten list of things for me to contemplate. I had the swordfish blackened and with fries. It was good but nothing spectacular. Don't get me wrong when I only say good. I felt the blackened season could have used a little more kick in spice. Reverting back to my opening of the sourdough bread nothing else matters. My wife had the clam chowder that I would say was better than good, it was great. Her side salad was crisp and the dressing was spectacular. Their ranch hits a little different and different in a good way.

I ordered the corned beef has with a Sunnyside up egg. There wasn't much to eat but it certainly was tasty. I just wish it was more of cane with more on the plate. My cousins girlfriend ordered the Waffles with apples on top and hers was REALLY GOOD. I'd go back but I wouldn't order the corned beef hash.

This restaurant was the perfect place to celebrate our friend's 7th wedding anniversary on a warm clear evening with an amazing sunset view of Morro Rock. Street parking was available, so we walked through the well stocked bar to indoor and outdoor tables overlooking the waterfront. We all enjoyed our meals. You can choose whether you want your fish blackened, grilled, or sauteed. My blackened salmon spinach salad was perfectly prepared. Service was over the top friendly and professional. Our friends were impressed with their complementary dessert, with 'happy anniversary' wriiten in chocolate. The restaurant made it a memorable celebration.

From the weekend menu: Eggs Benedict with a side of country potatoes & fruit
Sheryl F.

Decided to try Dorn's since it was near our hotel. The decor was really nice, especially all the decorative details, including the penny tiling floors & wood trim. We went on a Sunday, so my husband got the eggs Benedict. He really liked the thick cut of ham & chose the country potatoes, which he said were crispy on the outside with a good seasoning. I got the linguiça omelette but asked for it to be scrambled. So glad I did! It had a lot of ingredients so I'm glad it was all mixed together. I got the hash browns & rye toast. The hash browns were nice & crispy & their rye bread was outstanding. We had to box up a good amount because the portions were big. We both also got coffees which tasted really good. My husband drinks his coffee black & he says it's a really smooth and not bitter coffee. In all, we paid about $60.

All I heard was this place has 80 year old clam chowder and I headed on over! It's the cutest little restaurant at the top of the stairs with amazing views! As a family all together we tried the Bloody Mary and mimosa, shrimp cocktail, sourdough and butter, clam chowder, oysters, corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and potatoes, and finally buckwheat pancakes(gluten free)! Boy oh boy that fresh HOT homemade baked sourdough and butter was the best thing I've had all dang week! IM MISSING IT AS I TYPE THIS! The clam chowder was delicious but it didn't taste too unique which is what I was expecting but nonetheless wonderful! The corned beef was cooked to perfection and the pancakes were sweet and had a perfect texture! I wish the Bloody Mary came in a tall glass though! We waited about 30 minutes and got seated, there's an antique store 1 block up that you can visit while you wait! I would check this place out if you're in town!

Great view!!
Wayne G.

I'm giving one star for the friendly staff, and one star for the Mimosa, (even though it took 20 min. to get it after seated). We were really hyped after carefully selecting an "awesome" breakfast spot, and loved the story behind the restaurant. However, breakfast played a big part. We both ate most of our breakfast, as we were starving. I ordered the corned beef hash; my country potatoes were bland, no flavor, and not cooked consistently, the hash itself was plain, lacking flavor and texture, and my eggs were over hard, when I ordered sunny side up. Disappointing at best. My daughter ordered a scramble; her scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon was great, but the hash browns were bland and not close to cooked enough. The sourdough toast was good. A first and probably last for us. The view from where we sat outside was outstanding.

Ask the Community - Dorn's Original Breakers Cafe

Can my dog come to the restaurant?

Yes; however, you'll need to eat in the patio area. It's a good spot with heaters and a great view. Terrible if it's windy or foggy n' cold

Do they substitute omelette with egg whites?

Hi, it's been a couple of months since we were there, but I believe they do if you ask (we just went with the regular eggs).

When will adorns re-open, currently closed for construction?

They're not committing to a reopen date yet but the tearing out is done and new walls etc. going in currently. Check back in a couple of weeks.

Easter brunch hours?

So sorry I can't help you out with that I think if you give them a call they will help you out it's a great place to eat we really enjoyed it and I do hope they have a Sunday brunch for you

I thought you were only supposed to be offering takeout? Is this safe? I called and you guys said you were doing full service outside? Lied possibly?

I was there mid December Take Out Only and the food was great! Service from phone order to pickup 15 minutes

Do they allow dogs on their patio?

Yes! We had our two little dogs out there yesterday:)

Will you be serving a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving day? Thanks!!

Tyra they do every year

Is warren dorn still serving coffee there?

Not sure ?

I ended up ordering a basic breakfast: eggs, bacon, potatoes, english muffin. Can't go wrong with that, right? I ordered my eggs "broken over-hard" but they came out over-hard. I order this way to have the yolk spread out into the white. The english muffin was grilled, so not hard on the outside, but it was still good. The eggs were rubbery. The potatoes were a bit too spicy, I needed ketchup to eat them. Bacon was OK. Thin napkins, needed more. Plate was chipped. Had to use the restroom before leaving, it is now a gender neutral bathroom and Burt Reynolds is still presented in all his glory!! I must have a totally different sense of humor. Won't be back here, nothing on their menu appeals to me. Sorry.

I appreciate that the server knew it was cheaper to get fries on the side instead of the salad on the side. Fries were seasoned a bit too heavy-handed, the burger was great., bacon cooked perfectly. Server quick to refill soda as I ate my meal. I will probably return here, especially for breakfast, but will pay with cash next time.
