I was really disappointed in this location. I talked up this brand to my friend because I had been to another location and loved the food and staff. We went here this past Monday around 9am and there were maybe 3 tables with people, 1 guy at the bar and 3 staff members. It took them 5 mins to seat us. The guy behind the bar who ended up being our server saw us and another guy saw us and no one greeted us or told us someone would be right with us. So we waited. We were finally seated and after a long wait we were finally greeted by our server with glasses of water. We waited long enough to decide what we would eat from their unique menu, look around the restaurant and admire the paintings and then stare at each other for a few minutes. Our server took our order and food came out in a timely manner. Everything looked good except my daughters fruit plate which looked more like a side fruit plate. To add to insult to injury the fruit plate they gave consisted of figs, old/bruised pears, apples, blueberries and cantaloupe. What kid eats that stuff? And why would you put old fruit on the plate? We asked to take it back and requested a toasted english muffin instead. I was so disappointed and somewhat embarrassed because again I spoke highly of this chain and it was not holding up to what I had said. read more

Eaten here a handful of times and everything I've had was good. My only reservation was the bacon mac n cheese was in a creamy liquidy soup instead of a more solid cheesy dish. Pretty crowded on weekends so expect a little wait. read more

Food was good, the only negative was the eggs on the eggs Benedict were cold. The hollandaise was room temperature and could have been used to heat up the eggs. The Jurassic pork was a great add to the Bloody Mary and the Benedict. Pancakes were good, not enough syrup, but they brought a dab more when requested. Potato upgrade to add balsamic Brussels, cheese and Jurassic pork was an excellent choice. We will be back! read more

Walked up to the restaurant and was greeted with a warm welcome. Got there around 9:00, and it was pretty busy. There was open seating but my group of friends and I decided to try the new private dining room. It was pretty cool! There is a LOT of room. Great to go out and have brunch or breakfast with your family and friends. I think any variation of their French toast was my favorite! read more

Amazing Food* Friendly & Accommodating Staff * Wonderful Atmosphere Wait Time: There was a short wait time about 5-10mins for three people. We arrived around 10am on a Saturday morning. Quality of Food & Service : My grandparents are vegans and are not able to have much oil either and the staff & chef were very accommodating. They ordered Lemon Zest Pancakes and the vegan veggie & pesto frittata. They were very happy with their meal and the service too. I ordered the Traditional Eggs Benedict. The egg was perfectly cooked and the potatoes were crispy too. The hot sauce & katsup were nice touches to our meal. I would highly recommend you come here if you're looking for wonderful food, good service, and accommodating staff. Thank you for everything :) look forward to coming back again soon. read more

We had a great experience at BR in Encinitas. My husband and I are vegan and I have additional food allergies. Our server Aram was so kind and helpful in navigating the menu and ensuring that our dining experience was enjoyable and safe for me. We will definitely be back for their awesome vegan options (they have gluten free options too). read more

Still excellent food quality, but a drop in service, so I'm dropping a star. Sorry...hope it will improve. read more

Food is great! Service is great! Server Brian is great! Will keep coming for a great experience! Amazing place!

My friend and I came here for brunch on a Saturday morning. They were pretty busy when we arrived, but we were able to get a table right away surprisingly! Food: Avocado Toast - This was delicious, and I really enjoyed the pomegranate seeds on the toast. It added nice pops of sweetness. Pancake Sampler - My friend and I got this to share with the buttermilk, strawberries & cream, and the cinnamon roll pancake. All of the pancakes were pretty good, but can be sweet if that isn't your thing. My friend and I also got the mango mimosas. The mimosa was delicious, and I love the tajin on the rim. Service: Our server was friendly, but often not around as they were pretty busy. It did take some time for our orders to be taken. The food took some time to come out as well. This makes sense given how busy they were. Not great if you're in a rush, but not bad if you're enjoying a leisurely weekend brunch. TL;DR - Jeopardize your ability to buy a home and get the avocado toast. Service can be slow especially if they're busy and expect them to be busy. read more

Alex was great and provided good service. The food was also very tasty and came out quick (I reccomend the chicken funnel omelette ). It is a lively and fun atmosphere in here with cool decor. We came for my moms birthday and they even brought her a small dessert with a candle. We love this place and continue to come back again and again! read more

I came in with my mom and daughter before running errands but that was soon cancelled. --------------------- tl:dr I ordered a BYOO and the chef messed up my order causing me to go into anaphylactic shock. --------------------- After ordering, a couple items were made incorrectly and then I was made aware they no longer had yams for my daughter. Not a big deal. The big deal was I ordered a BYOO and my order was pretty simple (Cheese, spinach, steak, and ricotta). The chef made an executive decision to add Onion to my omelette, I am allergic to onion. I didn't expect Onion as neither I nor my waitress included it in the order. I purposefully ordered the BYO because of my onion allergy and ensured it had no onions. I ended up having a pretty nasty allergic reaction in the restaurant. The worse I have ever experienced. The manager and my waitress alongside a few concerned employees insured my safe transport to a hospital and provided me a discreet area to sit, sip water, and try to push through until help/an ambulance arrived. One thing I did not appreciate finding out is the DM tried to insinuate it was my fault because I did not say I had an allergy, when once again there was no mention of my allergy due to NOT ordering a single thing that contained Onion. You wouldn't order a milkshake and say no coffee because you're allergic to coffee beans. No one would expect coffee in a shake if it wasn't a coffee shake just like I did not expect onion in my supposedly Onionless omelette. Mind you I was hospitalized with ONE bite because not only were there Onions, they were raw, meaning a lot more concentrated than if they were cooked. I was in the hospital for hours due to a chef's misguided process, hooked up to IVs, machines monitoring my heart, given multiple doses of medication, and under supervision in case of a reflare, which did occur but was able to be managed with more medication. I am still itchy from this whole ordeal but luckily I am breathing. I hope a valuable lesson was learned by the chef to simply follow what is written and not include anything unwritten as it is truly life or death. I don't eat Onions and always mention my allergy when I know it is included. Today it was not included but still ended up in my food somehow. Extremely scarring event. I am still giving stars due to the effort of the employees and manager, the efficient care they supplied me with while help was on the way, and the grace the manager had when dealing with a high stress ordeal. The food itself, sans the omelette was good, I do love their sourdough, butter, and prosecco mimosas. I can't necessarily say I will be back to this location after experiencing this unfortunately. From the pictures you can clearly see NONE of this was anticipated at all. I will be waiting to hear from their HR/Legal team and/or DM soon. read more

EVERYTHING was perfect! Alex was amazing from start to finish. We sat down, he brought our drinks before the family even sat down! He's so quick and efficient. Orders went in and we got our food super quickly and it was accurate even with all our subs and the request to bring out the oreo pancakes later! I've been to other B. Republics and the is location is consistently delicious and a pleasure to visit. THANK YOU TO ALEX AND KITCHEN STAFF!!!! read more

The food came out cool and was tasteless. The server concentrated on another table basically ignoring ours. The bathroom was marginal at best. Probable won't be going back. read more

We had an incredible server and food! We have gluten and egg allergies in our family and they have great options including Just Egg. Aram was extremely helpful and kind! We will surely be back and hope to have him again! read more

Cute place to grab food with friends for the family type of a place. We came here during breakfast hour and it was packed. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor can be chilly if the wind is blowing and pets are not allowed indoor. It does get crowded on the weekends so be prepared to wait to get a table, order, get your food and the check. Breakfast burritos was tasty but bland and average tasting. They did not have any green sauce but it did come with a red sauce- added flavor and not spicy at all. I did like how they toast the burrito. They are known for the Jurassic pork which isn't mentioned much in the reviews. Similar to bacon but chewy like beef jerky and of course flavorful. It's good and worth a try. read more

Fun place to have breakfast. The pancakes are served on a dish the size of a boat. Love the pasture raised eggs that they use on the dishes. Lots of choices on pancakes, omelets, and grits. They serve up real maple syrup for the pancakes and french toast. I liked the higher quality ingredients that they use. read more

Great food and great service especially our waiter the persian young guy unfortunately I don't remember his name

First time being here! We came on 8/28/22 around 12:30pm. I'm sure parking can be a struggle but we found a spot easily close to the NFCU ATM. We put our name on the list & they said it would be 20 minutes. They have a little patio set that are egg shaped. They called our name and I was surprised, it was not 20 minutes. We sat by the fake foliage wall which was nice. I like the inside since it's well lit. The menu isn't bad and if you didn't want to touch the menu, the QR code for the menu was on the table. We ended up ordering 2 champagnes with lychee puree, 2 breakfast jambalayas, Portuguese longuinisa scramble which came with house potatoes, toast, egg, & a pancake trio - oreo, pineapple upside down, & lemon coconut flavors. Everything was delicious. The jambalaya was super good. The dish is well seasoned and balanced. The shrimp was cooked to perfection. The oreo pancake was good and the girls said the pineapple upside down pancake was okay. I think maybe they thought pineapple would be inside the pancake but the pineapple was just on top so there wasn't a lot of flavor. And the lemon coconut pancake was good. The breakfast scramble was delicious. The eggs were fluffy and the sausage was really good. The dish was also colorful which made it look appetizing. Our server was cool & checked in on us. I would definitely come back! read more

Best Vegan breakfast I've ever had. We will definitely be returning to try other items. Super friendly staff.

This is not only the best breakfast spot in San Diego, it also has some of the best people working there. Melinda has to be the nicest hostess I've ever met, and the kitchen gets the food out quick and delicious. I can't believe how awesome the food was. I got the shrimp and grits for my mom, and they are better than anything I've gotten in the south. And because I live in Michigan, whenever I come to California for food I always have to get Breakfast Republic. I love their French toast personally, all variations. This is Michigan Football approved! read more

First time here I've been on their email list, but never made it to enjoy and my first experience was a great one didn't have to wait to be sat down and food came timely and I enjoyed my turkey meatloaf hash, as well as the jam they make.

Fun environment and lots of tables. Service is great but just a little slow. This place gets pretty busy. I definitely recommend it to fellow vegans since they have several vegan options. It's just a bit pricy. For two of us with two drinks we spent about $75 including tip. read more

Breakfast Republic never disappoints! They offer so many fun and tasty options for both food and drink. They're a chain and this particular location is in a strip mall so it doesn't have as much outdoor ambiance as some of the others but service and food were just as good nonetheless. The menu is very southern with plenty of egg-based dishes, sweet breakfast fare and a vegan section. We like to each order a savory dish and then share an order of the Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes. If you don't order a sweet dish as your main I suggest you at least share one because I feel that they execute those the best. On this particular visit I had the Crab and Crawfish Cake Benedict and it was packed with the crustaceans, no filler. If you're looking for an alcoholic beverage with your breakfast this is the perfect place to come. I enjoy their mimosas as well as the Red Booch Kombucha which is enhanced with a plethora of healthy herbs and berries and tastes great as well. read more

I love this place!! Been coming here for years, I can't believe I haven't reviewed them yet. Anyways, we came in today to celebrate Veterans Day, I wanted to treat my partner. Thank you to all the veterans who've served! I got the iced chai which was pretty good, it was a little bit milky tasting but I still enjoyed it. I also ordered the chilaquiles plate and omg...it's a must try! I loved everything about it, chips could have been a little more crunchy though. My partner ordered the Cajun jambalaya and it came with 2 eggs your way. It also had some pretty big shrimp in it which was really nice to see and enjoy. We both shared the French toast sampler. We chose the strawberry marscapone toast, the banana split, and the s'mores French toast. All were so delicious! My favorite was the banana split and I think it was my partners favorite too. Overall this restaurant is so amazing! I definitely recommend you trying this place out if you haven't yet. read more

Parking is horrible here, but I think its all timing. Most of the people are trying to shop at Trader Joe's. We had to put our names on the waiting list and it was about a 10-15 minute wait at around 9am. It definitely started to get crowded around 10am. So I think it would be better to go super early! There's inside and outside seating. We chose to sit inside as it was a little chilly outside, but they do have heaters. We ordered: Mexican Mocha (yummy....I got the small one, should have gotten the larger one!) American - sunny side up, Portuguese sausage, house potatoes and white toast (husband said it was good and the sausage was really good!) Strawberry & Mascarpone french toast (yummy and not sure how I can come back and select something else from the menu, but I will try to be more diverse) Busy, busy, busy inside but our waiter was awesome! Gave us advise and his likes. We will be back! read more

We decided to give Breakfast Republic another go the week after Christmas, but we found the same issues: extremely long wait after being seated just to get someone to come by our table or acknowledge that we were sitting there, a long wait to get our coffee/drinks, a long wait for food. And, there were empty tables in the place! Sad part is that the food tasted great. We won't be back for a long time (if that). read more
