    Mr Pete's burger
    Austin W.

    Great service! Delicious and huge burger. Fries were fresh and crispy. Nice and clean restaurant with plenty of seating.

    What an awesome spot! They happily served up our party of 15!! After we noticed, we beat the crowd. It's a pretty lively, with outdoor and indoor seating. A real definition of a spot for anyone, including kids, and your fur babies to enjoy. We all ordered a mixture of breakfast, omelets, chicken strips, and burgers. Everything was really good! Lots of flavor, and now I'm hungry... I ordered a sausage breakfast plate with a Michie:) They serve a variety of adult beverages. Mimosas and Michies for the WIN! SO GOOD with an appealing presentation with the taJin rimmed jar cup! The little mini champagne that was adorable. It was a great time for 11am!! The staff was very friendly and attentive. One restroom is available.

    Loco Moco, Avocado omelette, and hawaiian latte.

    The service here was cute, they were helpful in choosing out which menu items to have, and it does seem like a family-owned (i think) business, which is always something to look forward to supporting. Unfortunately, I agree with a lot of the recent comments that the food is simply too greasy and lacks flavor. I think that the interior and service can outweigh that for some folks, but as a first-timer I'm not sure if I want my brunch soaked in grease that early in the morning. I think the restaurant could improve on the quality of ingredients in that manner. On other notes, the hawaiian latte was a good size and tasted good as well. Overall, the experience was okay, and it is a more unique concept available in the San Clemente area.

    Quaint, beachside diner offering an abundant selection of Hawaiian/American breakfast fusion. They have such a large menu, it takes me forever to order sometimes, there's so many great options! My boyfriend's go to is the sriracha maple chicken waffle. The flavors melt so perfectly into each other in this buttery, cheesy, sweet dish. I normally go with the California omelette, which comes with three eggs, bacon, Swiss cheese, & avocado (I add caramelized onions) with either a side of toast or fried rice. One of my favorite breakfast spots in town. They also have a drive through so super easy to grab after a long surf in the morning and not wanting to get out soaking wet! Super good burgers too.

    Came here for the breakfast burrito. I got the veggie filled with avocado (for additional charge). It was a hefty size and pretty good. The side of refries beans was a nice treat. Id definitely come back to try something else since the menu is aided with options. Good service, order was out promptly. Plenty of seating indoor and out. Place is very casual.

    Burger was really dry and chewy, pastrami was dry and my fried zucchini was limp and bland. The fried zucchini is not battered, it's unsalted breadcrumbs and doesn't hold up well or taste good. The only thing I liked was the ranch dressing. Went thru the drive thru, took a while and costed almost $20 for lunch for 1 person. Not recommended

    Fried zucchini

    You order your food at the counter and then they give you a number for them to bring your food to. The prices are pretty decent for the amount of food and there's ton of tables/seats for everyone. I got the aloha burger because it was one of the few that just had lettuce and tomatoes. For the price, it's what you expect it to be. The fried zucchini fries were amazing!! I would order this as a side if you are planning on getting one. I thought the hash browns were going to be something different because some photos showed a circular hash brown but maybe that's only for burgers?

    Potatoes from 1/2 bacon breakfast burrito
    Matt T.

    Came for my usual breakfast burrito, it gets worse each time. Practically no bacon, it's a potato burrito. Ordered it with extra bacon, still maybe 2 pieces in entire burrito. The pic is the potato i pulled from 1/2 a burrito, 1/2!! Who wants 2 entire potatoes for breakfast. A positive is their customer service. The guy at drive thru window has always been cool. Been coming here for 6 years pretty consistently, can't find a reason to give them business anymore. $21 for a potato fueled coma

    Omg i love their bagel burger breakfast at. Service is excellent, right on point always asking if everything is okay and good. Very friendly with customers. Very clean place compared to the last restaurant/owners there.

    Belgium waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon coffee, California Omelette...

    Aloha! *IS* the best single word to use here. Your delightful experience will likely start with a genuinely warm greeting from Roger or Emily. That is just the start of the Aloha embrace. Whether you're dropping in for lunch or breakfast... Everything on the menu is superb... And obviously made with the same Aloha spirit from the cooks in the kitchen. The magic is brought out to your table with a huge smile... And a genuine interest in your awesome experience. The hot chocolate? Must do! Belgian waffles, and all the other breakfast goodness that the islands offer... Burgers for lunch... Really, it couldn't be better... Super clean, super friendly, best food you're gonna have. Mahalo kids!

Secondly, the service was the most amazing service, I had my whole entire week in San Clemente. All the ladies who helped us were so kind and friendly! This service made me come back 3 times in total, to enjoy the food and views. My last day in town, I spoke with the wait staff and let them know what a great job they are doing; They were friendly and so grateful. The food was delicious and so delightful. The chicken sandwich had roasted chicken with bacon and a delicious aïoli. That was honestly such a good mix. The brioche bread they put the chicken on was fluffy and flavorful. My daughters got a Nutella crêpe and berries and cream crêpe. Both were delicious and a good portion size. Their sourdough toast with jam was a favorite of ours, we got it every single time we went. I cannot wait to come back and try maybe one of their delicious salads or maybe Hardy breakfast! Definitely a top-tier restaurant. I must try!

Foodwise, well, I have yet to find a place in the OC that does crepes well. I ordered a mushroom and spinach breakfast crepe ($13), but it turned out to be more like an omelette wrapped in a thick crepe, with some sauce on top. Maybe the dessert crepes are the way to go. If you're thinking about ordering one of the crepes with eggs in it, you might just want to opt for an omelette instead. Prices are pretty decent, considering the location. Service was good. We were still there when they were about to close and did not get chased out (we left before they actually closed). Metered street parking and public parking lot nearby.

I see the ratings on this place and I wonder why? We ordered two steak plates; one Steak and eggs cooked rare and another steak and frites cooked medium. They were both terrible. Chewy and cooked wrong. The medium was cook rare and the rare one was goey. No flavor at all. I instantly regretted picking this location for brunch. I bagged up the steaks for my dog and headed out disappointed. For 62$ I wish I could say I was full and satisfied but I'm unfortunately not. Just lacking overall in taste. The breakfast potatoes tasted like free potatoes from a motel breakfast and the side salad with the steak frites just had a red vinaigrette dressing on Roman lettuce, no character at all. If you just want mimosas I guess this is a good place for that, they had a range in flavors from original orange juice to blueberry. But I recommend saving your money and cooking breakfast/lunch at home. The two stars are for the service! Food, no stars! 0 **They also have no ranch or A1 So I expected the steak to be on point....
