Parkhouse Eatery is one of those places you almost have to stumble upon to discover. It feels like a hidden neighborhood gem. You can tell it used to be a house that was converted into a restaurant, and that charm is a huge part of the experience. It's quaint, cozy, and even when it's busy, it never feels overly loud or chaotic. It feels more like being invited to a brunch party at someone's home than going out to eat. If you're going for brunch, the mimosa flights are absolutely worth trying. The flavors are creative, fresh, and fun. My personal favorite is the Pink Goddess--anything with guava gets my attention, and guava can be surprisingly hard to find around San Diego. Coming from Miami, I appreciate tropical flavors done right, and this one delivers. The food is consistently great. Yes, they have brunch staples and popular SoCal favorites, but the pancakes deserve their own mention. They're huge, fluffy, and never dry. Even the plain pancakes feel elevated with little touches like vanilla bean flavoring that make them stand out. One of the best things about this place is that they keep it interesting. Every month there's something new on the menu, and it's never boring or predictable. They clearly aren't afraid to think outside the box. I remember seeing a Cap'n Crunch French toast special that sounded wild at first--but it was delicious. Whoever comes up with their monthly ideas deserves credit, because they consistently make it work. The service has always been solid. When it gets busy, you can tell the staff is hustling, but that's understandable. Even with large parties and a full house, I've never had an order come out wrong--and I go regularly. I also love the little details here. Their chamomile tea service comes with a mini teapot, hot water, lemon slices--the kind of thoughtful touch that adds to the whole cozy experience. Portions are generous, filling, and I almost always end up taking leftovers home. This is one of my go-to recommendations for friends and family visiting San Diego because it has great food, warm energy, and a memorable atmosphere. On average, expect around $30-$70 per person if you're drinking, and around $30-$50 without alcohol. Worth it every time. read more

I dined with my neighbor for Girl's Breakfast early on MLK. She came here with her parents over the holidays and said this is a must try spot for me. I'm not a huge breakfast person but I trust her. Very cute location, decor is charming and it very spacious to accommodate guests inside and out. Our server was darling, super helpful and had a great sense of humor. My neighbor ordered a breakfast burrito and I got the Lemon Ricotta Pancake with Blueberry Compote on the side by request. We received our drinks shortly after he took our order. Food was served within 15 minutes. My eyes grew big, I asked if they had to deliver my pancake with a forklift because it was larger than my face. It was a good call just to order 1. There was citrusy bits of lemon zest in the fluffy batter. It was a pleasant surprise in each bite. I totally intended to each just half but somehow the whole pancake disappeared. Service was great! There are plenty of options, I was actually eyeing the Benedicts so will come back for that! read more

I was in the area yesterday and decided to try this place for brunch. On a Saturday at 11:30 we were able to get in right away. We got the real thang beef burger as well as the breakfast pizza. Both were great, the burger was cooked well, still very juicy. And the pizza had a lot of flavor and had a great cheese pull! Service was alright. The restaurant itself was cute, old fashioned and the stained glass window inside was really pretty. read more

We arrived as a party of 4 on a wednesday around 11am and we were immediately seated. We chose a table outside. Fortunately we could move the sun umbrellas to block most of the sun. The servers were super friendly but service overall was pretty slow. It took a while for the food and then the check. I loved the tres egg scrambles - Chili crusted tofu, basil & asiago cheese. There are great vegetarian and gluten free options. The chilaquiles was also very good. They recommended it with the green sauce. We found street parking a few blocks away. read more

Was invited to catch breakfast here and was surprised I've never heard of this cute venue/restaurant. Outside and inside of this small spot is very open and staff treated us well. Parking can be tricky depending on the time you go. You make be looking for a spot for a while. Had the chocolate mocha and truly enjoyed the sweet flavors. The menu has a variety of items to choose from which can be overwhelming but I ended up choosing a salad. Salad was basic. Nothing too special. Dressing was ok. Cool place to meet friends or a date for a bite to eat and chat for sure. I like how open the restaurant is and the level of calmness you feel there. Although I wasn't a fan of the food, I do feel that the place has good vibes. Perhaps it's worth a try to go back and try something else next time. read more

I had never been here. A friend said it is his "home" and wanted me to enjoy it. So off we went. We were seated immediately and our server, Thea, was amazing. She knew the menu and helped to guide me to some great choices. The lobster risotto was beyond compare. Lots of lobster and oh so yummy. The fish with the lemon caper sauce was out of this world. Soooooo great. And while not cheap. It is worth the price for the quality and level of service. I had some left overs and they even wrote on the lid what was inside and the date. Well done and very much worth the trip. read more

Me and a couple friends went to Park House Eatery last Monday, and I'm honestly not sure why I've never written a review before because I've been here a few times now. This place is solid. I ordered the French toast and it's easily one of the best French toasts I've had in San Diego. Perfectly cooked, not dry, not soggy, just really, really good. I also got the chicken sausage, which I didn't love. That was the only miss for me. One friend ordered the churro pancake. It was delicious, but definitely very sweet. I could only handle a few bites, but she absolutely loved it and cleaned her plate. My other friend got the egg scramble as a burrito and would not stop raving about it. My favorite part of Park House is their daily muffin special that they make in house. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately for me haha, the special that day was banana walnut and I don't like walnuts. That said, I've had their strawberry Fruity Pebble muffin and their espresso Oreo muffin before and both were fantastic. Great food, fun menu, and definitely a spot worth going back to again and again. read more

Adorable neighborhood eatery, indoor and outdoor seating. Service was impressive, really appreciate good service. Our waiter was so nice and helpful with all the items on the vast menu. Everything on the menu looked worth trying. My daughter ordered the chilaquiles with a flat iron steak, over easy eggs. The homemade corn chips were the nice thick kind, the sauce was a mix to me of Adobe and mole, thick with so much flavor and spice; beyond my imagination. The spice definitely lasted on the tongue, ha ha. Fresh guacamole, perfectly pickled purple onions, cilantro and cotija cheese. Worth ordering. I ordered the PH salad with grilled chicken, raspberry vinaigrette, sliced almonds, mixed greens, sliced cherry tomatoes with homemade bread. I would order it again. The iced latte was delish! I would love to return and try other items on the menu! read more

My third time here. I think it's become an annual visit. And, once again, it was amazing. Four of us and a dog sat outside on the lovely patio. The food and drink were delicious!

My April birthday girlfriend, and I went to our annual lunch at Park House eatery to celebrate and this year I chose the churro pancake soaking in condensed milk for my free birthday treat. I usually don't eat such an indulgent item for lunch, but I decided that this year I would do just that. My friend had her usual chicken salad that she adores and it was. As delicious as ever. Esteban was our waiter and you can't get a more exuberant and joyful waiter than Esteban. He repeatedly wished me a happy birthday and made my lunch extra special with his personal touch. My pancake came with a little candle that was lit and I felt quite special. This place is a jam and I hope it continues to thrive and remain the special place that it is! Sometimes parking can be a challenge because there's so many wonderful places along Park Avenue to eat and walk and they have put in more parking meters than ever, but there are many neighborhood areas that you can park in and walk from but you might have to walk a little ways more than you thought so be prepared. A shout out also to Evelyn the hostess with the most and Lewis who served me With his big smile. Just a happy place ! read more

Parking is medium challenging so we parked on the next street back and enjoyed the walk. Thank you, we'll definitely be back. read more

Saw this spot recommended online and was super excited to try their churro pancake. My partner and I both got the cowboy benedict and the pork belly benedict to share. The benedicts were good but the pancake was the star of the show. Highly addicting, I can see why it's so popular here. The restaurant is so cute inside, they have stained glass windows and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was really kind and were on it with the service. read more

I ordered the nut butter toast, while my partner had the cowboy benedict. I love a place with eggs benny options! The toast was kind of too dry with the nut butter. If they add more blueberries, it would help offset the dryness. It was still good. On a random Saturday at around noon, we were able to walk in for brunch without a wait which was great. There's outdoor seating which gives off a garden vibe, & it was a cute little sit in restaurant. There was easy parking for the time we arrived closely on an adjacent street, and the waitress was so sweet. The indoor is cozy, cute with antique decorations, and they even had a fireplace lit which was such a nice touch for a cloudy day. read more

It's been many years since I've been here, so when a friend who hadn't been here asked to meet up for breakfast, I was curious to see how it was after all this time. It ended up being such an amazing time. Came when they first opened, so we were able to get seated right away, and this time I got to try their breakfast/brunch menu. Staff were super friendly and they continually checked up on us and our drink refills (shoutout to Fabio!), and I ended up getting the pancake combo with a single lemon ricotta pancake (the best), my usual sunny side up eggs, and an upgrade to try their Portuguese sausage (delicious). Also, got to see how this place was in the daytime so got to see the nice decor, the home/welcome feel and the outdoor seating which was plenty. Such a wonderful experience, and can't wait to come back and try more of their food. Thank you! read more

I visited this place with some friends for brunch on a Sunday! It was a pretty busy since it's a weekend. It was difficult to find parking around, but we made it to our table on time. We ordered a good amount of food and our server was super friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered two bottles of champagne and a side of orange juice instead of mimosa flight since it was cheaper for like $3 . The food was great! Potatoes were delicious. The fried chicken sandwich was alright. I wouldn't say it was the best, but we did share it (family style) and it was cold. So could be that! It was a great experience! read more

Just tried out this brunch spot the other day and had a good experience overall! Came around 10:30am on a Saturday and was able to be seated outside right away. Friendly staff. Ordered the crab benny and pork belly benny; both were good but I really liked my crab benny. Also got the mimosa flight - chose the apple, pink goddess guava, peach, and mango flavors. Some flavors were just okay, but for $28, we thought the flight was a better deal to be able to try different flavors instead of ordering two regular sized mimosas. read more
