BR Mission Valley Review Breakfast Republic is one of those places that makes breakfast feel like a desirous palette of flavors instead of just another meal. The menu has plenty of creative options, but they also do the classics well, so there's something for everyone. The portions are generous, the atmosphere is cool vibes and the service is fluid even during busy times. I arrived on a Saturday at 12ish. Wait time was expected to be 25 minutes but was more like 18. Indoor and outdoor seating was available. Our server Austin was definitely on top of it and deserves two finger snaps and a high cheer split. Our table ordered the Oreo pancakes with a side of whipped cream and the shrimp and grits. The pancakes literally had the Oreo filling between the stacks. Way too decadent and too much for one person's insulin. It was delicious but only half eaten. The shrimp & grits is not like the traditional recipe but it was good and flavorful. And did taste as good warmed up later. I would ask for the corn on the side. Yes, it had corn. BR has to do it differently. If you're looking for a farm kitchen spizzo with food variety and choices, BR is an easy recommendation. TIP FOR GUESTS: I carry my own cleansing cloths (for all restaurants) because the tables are not cleaned only wiped. There was a lot of residue. TIP FOR BR: A sign should be posted during busy times guests can't just sit and chat for more than 20 minutes beyond their eating time. read more

Amazing dining experience with co-workers! To begin the long weekend and celebrate someone's birthday, the group met for lunch. This was my second time dining at Breakfast Republic, but my first time dining at this particular location. Located in a shopping center, the ample available parking added to the relaxing and enjoyable experience. Among the group, several different entrees were selected, and everyone raved about the quality, quantity, and deliciousness of the food. I wish I could have had a bite of everything on the table (smile). Seated at a large table, which allowed everyone to interact, made for a pleasant experience for all of us, and we even sang happy birthday to the birthday boy. The atmosphere was great; staff and customer service were great; and the food was delicious! Highly recommended. read more

First time at this Breakfast Republic location and it did not disappoint! The staff were super friendly and we quickly got a great table (on a weekday). I tried the protein pancakes for the first time. Highly recommend! I also enjoyed my vanilla latte. read more

Breakfast Republic - Protein Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

This is our second time at Breakfast Replublic, but in a different town. Menu didn't really offer anything exciting for me so I went with a safe choice - the Cluck Burger. It was good, but lacked any presence of greens. Is it just me or a burger isn't complete without lettuce, onions and tomatoes? There were just a lot of protein (2 patties, bacon, egg) and carbs (fried potatoes) so I just felt like I needed veggies to balance it out. I had asked for "no-buns" because I don't care for any more carbs. In my mind maybe they could've done a lettuce wrap or something as it has been done in the past at other restaurants. Sure, I can't presume to think they'll do the same here, so maybe this was on me. But had they done a lettuce wrap or provided lettuce instead of buns, I would've given them an extra star. Also, the item description said it had Thousand Island dressing. But my burger did not have any. I asked our server why that was, and she said the dressing is on the buns, so because I asked for no buns, they didn't think to put the dressing on the burger. Whaaat? I guess our server realized the error, she asked if I wanted the dressing on the side. I, of course, said yes. This kind of gave me a weird vibe. The California Breakfast Burrito was decent, but it came with way too much rice and beans. I feel like sides portions should not overpower the main entree. Overall, decent breakfast place, but I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Came here for a quick breakfast with family. The restaurant is super cute, decor and ambiance all very modern. Our server was friendly and also quick to take our orders, clear plates, etc. we got the protein pancakes, power bowl, and chilaquiles. Everyone was satisfied! I hesitated with the pancakes but they were actually hitting the spot to satisfy the pancake crave while not being atrocious calorie-wise. Love that the macros were posted. The power bowl had a LOT of flavors going on, and chilaquiles were satisfying, chips had a nice crunch to them still. Overall we enjoyed and will likely be back to try other items. read more

Good spot for breakfast in Mission Valley San Diego. Our server was fantastic. Took care of me and my son constantly. Food was ok. My son loved the bacon pancakes, but I wanted my eggs on my tostada over medium and they here over hard. No runny yolk. I've been to other locations and this one was not very upbeat. The ambiance was sort of too slow. read more

Never thought there would be a day where I would be eating egg benidict?? ( I don't eat egg) This is the first time I have seen vegan egg benedict on the menu and let's just say I was pleasantly surprised. The texture was so soft and fluffy and the salty "egg" paired perfectly with the jam. It is THE dish for my sweet and savory girlies. And there are potatoes on the side which are so crispy and filling! The breakfast burrito I wasn't that impressed with because it has a lot of fake meat which I am not a fan of. But if you like the taste and texture of meat and are exploring going vegan definitely give it a shot. I am quiet surprised at the amount of vegan options because most restaurants and breakfast places don't have it even if they are a chain! Also fyi the house-made ketchup is not it. I thought it would taste regular or Gourmet but it had a weird after taste. I went late afternoon and it was pretty busy still. They have plenty of parking and seatings both inside and outside and good for a larger party! read more

Breakfast Republic - Vegan Jammin' Bennie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

Surprisingly, one of the better vegan breakfasts in San Diego I've had. Had a work pow wow function and we decided on this local spot near work. We were not disappointed. Location/Ambiance/Overall Vibe: Heart of Mission Valley in the shopping plaza with plenty of parking. Seating available indoor, outdoor, or at the bar. BR is lively, stylish, and a perfect spot for groups. Great energy, cute interior, and a great stress-free experience. Vegan Options FTW: Got to love that the menu caters to whatever you are craving: vegan or not, healthy or not, sweet or savory, they got it! Check their menu. They have a vegan section that stands out like the Jammin' Bennie, vegan Benedict, harvest omelet, avocado toast, and vegan tres leches pancakes. Got some of my co-workers to even try their vegan items and they were impressed! Order: Jammin' Bennie - Yummy in my tummy! It's Italian vegan sausage, plant-based eggs which I believe is made of mung beans, and creamy vegan hollandaise with a bold jalapeno blackberry jam. Side of house potatoes. Could have fooled me! A bit salty for my liking. A tad more hollandaise would be great and the muffin could have been less soggy, but overall it's a filling and flavorful meal. 4/5 For something sweet, I suggest the vegan Tres Leches pancakes! This is if you want to be naughty. It's dangerously good. Fluffy, soaked in syrup, topped with strawberries and pistachio brittle. All my favs in one! Beats any regular pancake. A delightful treat! 5/5 Finished it off with in-house fresh squeezed OJ! Service and Portions: Service is friendly, attentive, and kind even during a rush. Portions are big so come hungry and leave stuffed! Final Take: They are not full vegan, but fully impressive! You can tell they are really trying to appeal to everyone so KUDOS for that! I recommend this spot for your taste buds and your tummy will thank you. read more

I always want to give Breakfast Republic the benefit of the doubt bc it is so highly rated and the wait is always insane... but it really is just average for me. My table ordered the chilaquiles, the shrimp and ricotta frittata, and an American breakfast. The tortilla chips in the chilaquiles had a weird texture that was soggy and crunchy at the same time and just tasted like tomato paste. The beans and rice were nothing special. I was so excited about the frittata, but it tasted like nothing. Adding salt and hot sauce made it somewhat palatable. The buttermilk pancakes were the only thing we really enjoyed. After many tries, I think I've established that breakfast republic just isn't for me. read more

American brunch with creative menu offerings and options for those on a high protein or vegan diet. This restaurant does not take reservations, only walk-ins, so for large parties plan accordingly. They are quite a small restaurant in a strip mall. The staff are friendly but casual, and we had no trouble ordering. There was a mix up in which one person did not get their food for quite a long time, which was unfortunate, but accidents do happen. I ordered the California Breakfast Burrito, which I think is a Cali burrito because it has potatoes. It came with a side of rice and beans. The rice was rather dry and beans not very flavorful. The burrito was good, lots of big chunks of creamy egg and a hit of salty fattiness from the bacon. I enjoyed it most with their signature hot sauce on the table. I also got the ube iced latte, which was tasty, but more just generically sweet than any strong ube flavor. Just a heads up but it will also stain your lips and teeth a little. We also ordered a pancake flight and french toast sampler for the table. Some are smaller than others, for example the pineapple is just one pancake with pretty light toppings whereas the oreo one is two pancakes stacked with cream inside. The french toast was a hit with the table. The pancakes less so. The oreo was very crumbly, did not stay together at all, but the flavor was nice. The tres leches pancake is SO sweet. Even with a huge sweet tooth I could not handle it. Next time I would stick to the french toast, seemingly their better item, as at least the pancakes we chose were a miss. Overall it was a decent dining experience, but their food was not standout and even lacking in some areas. I think it stands somewhere between 3 and 4 stars, but for having a great vegan menu I will round up. read more

Once again delicious food great waiter they lost a star due to they had a hostess lacking customer service maybe she was overwhelmed with people around her? A smile would have been nice rather then acting bothered when I inquired how much longer when it was over the time she quoted. read more

We ended up at Breakfast Republic after trying 2 other places first. (One was outrageously expensive for breakfast & the other was an order at the counter kind of place.) I loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. Lots of humorous decorations and such. We both had the American, which came with 3 eggs, potatoes, toast and meat. The maple sausage was a large link and it was very tasty. I really liked the potatoes as well, and the eggs were good as well. The coffee was a bit strong for me, but it was very good and it was served in huge mugs; I couldn't finish the first cup, let alone have a refill. The service was really good; everyone was super friendly and welcoming. I'm glad we ended up there. read more

Enjoyed a solo breakfast here in their bar area. The food was good but nothing to write home about. I've been to a couple of their other locations here in San Diego and enjoyed the food there much better. I did order the flight of pancakes and asked for one to be strawberry free (allergy) but it came with strawberry on it anyway so I ate the pancakes that didn't have strawberry on it and didn't mention anything to the cashier. Upon checking on me and seeing I didn't eat the one with strawberries is when she remembered and offered to make me a fresh pancake without strawberry but I declined. Overall 7/10 experience. read more

Breakfast Republic has been my reliable breakfast spot for a while now--it's fun, the vibe is chill and the food almost never disappoints. This time I switched things up instead of my usual and went for the Portuguese Linguisa Sausage It was actually really tasty, flavorful, and a nice change from the norm. Solid choice if you're into something with a kick. I also got the classic French Toast, which you honestly can't go wrong with here. Thick slices, perfectly cooked, sweet but not over-the-top--always a winner. The side of Jurassic Pork bacon is usually my absolute favorite thing on the menu--thick, smoky, decadent, and crispy in the best way. But unfortunately, this batch came out a little burnt and dry. It just didn't hit the same; I couldn't enjoy it as much as I normally do. Kinda bummed about that since it's such a highlight for me. Service was friendly as always, and the place was buzzing but not chaotic. Overall, still a strong spot I'd recommend. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Breakfast Republic in Mission Valley, and I have to say--five stars all the way! From the moment we were seated on the shaded patio (with outdoor fans keeping things perfectly comfortable), everything was smooth, relaxing, and absolutely delicious. Jazmine, our waitress, was a gem! So friendly, attentive, and on point the entire time. She made sure our drinks stayed filled without us even needing to ask, and her warm attitude added to the overall positive experience. She alone deserves 5 stars for her service! Now let's talk about the food--phenomenal is an understatement. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors? Out of this world. We requested to swap out the pork in our omelettes for turkey bacon, and they accommodated us with no extra charge, which we really appreciated. For the pancakes--WOW. My husband had the pineapple upside-down pancakes, and they literally tasted like the cake version--sweet, warm, and full of flavor. I ordered the strawberry cheesecake pancake sandwich--layers of fluffy buttermilk pancakes with cream cheese icing and graham cracker crumbles in between, topped with fresh strawberries and a side of syrup. The pancakes can be subbed out in replacement of the potatoes or bread options for $4 dollars more and you can pick any type of pancakes. It was hands-down one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time. The kitchen staff deserves their flowers too--the food came out fresh, hot, and perfectly cooked despite the restaurant being busy. If you're ever in Mission Valley, do yourself a favor and check out Breakfast Republic in the shopping plaza (lots of parking, by the way). You won't be sorry you came! read more

The food here is really great. Service is amazing and entrees always so fulfilling. I love this spot plus they have great views!

Thank you to Lucía for being our server. Was pleasantly surprised by the banana split French toast

To start on a positive note, the service was very good! It all fell apart after that. We both ordered the Breakfast Tostada. That particular dish was a flavorless disaster. I at first thought it was due to the cold eggs. After redoing the plate, I realize the dish is tasteless and the replacement, hotter dish, still made me want to gag. Now, let's go back to being seated. More communication needed in that department as the host just delivered us to a non bussed table... twice. To say the least, not returning. read more

Super huge portions! But they gave small plates for sharing. Patio seating option if you happen to have your fur babies. Pretty casual and open. There wasn't much of a complaint with anything we ate, maybe just the rice & beans that came with the burrito. It was kinda dry &hard.. the other thing was the Mac&cheese, for some reason it was sweet. Not sure what it was because I only had a couple bites.. other than that it's a yummy brunch option if you want to meet up with friends. read more

I made a return trip to Breakfast Republic and forgot that I should not order their Shrimp and Grits. Eggs Benedict might have been a better choice for me. My shrimp and corn were properly cooked but they would have greatly benefited from being grilled or pan-seared. Also, I really prefer really cheesy grits. So, my suggestion is that you should come here for something else but not the shrimp and grits. read more

Breakfast time! We scoured Yelp ahead of our trip for a decent breakfast place since we were taking a red-eye flight. Thanks to the Yelp app, we were able to locate this Breakfast Republic location. LOCATION / PARKING The restaurant is located within a shopping mall/center. Lots of parking available. NOTES 1. Seating available indoor, outdoor, or at the bar. We arrived to find crowds of people waiting for a seat. We checked in with the hostess, who kindly informed us that it would be a 30 minute wait or there were bar seats available (no wait). We chose the bar. And really, though the bar seating was a slightly cramped, we were brought menus almost immediately. We looked over the menu, and in the end I chose the Jurassic Pork Benedict, while my dining companion ordred the Chilaquiles. I absolutely loved the Jurassic Pork! The bacon slices were of Tyrannosaurs proportions, and were served with a decent side of cubed potatoes. The entire portion was quite filling for me. Recommended. Though my partner finished most of his food, he lamented afterwards that he should have chose a dish that had more protein. Nonetheless, we still left satisfied. SERVICE The bartender/staff member that helped us was friendly, polite, and very efficient. I appreciated he didn't skimp on the coffee refills. BOTTOM LINE A decent breakfast option in San Diego. read more

Food was great! Service was awesome! They checked on us regularly and took my allergies seriously. We got strawberry mascarpone french toast, the hot chick, a side of bacon, and the ube latte. Strawberry mascarpone french toast was solid. Not too sweet, fresh strawberries, and came with a side of maple syrup (that I didn't use). The hot chick was also so good. I usually don't like coleslaw but I thought it worked well in this case. Not super spicy, more like a hint in my opinion, but great flavor. Crispy chicken, good ratio to the english muffin. But the best part was the egg! Nice and golden on the inside, to my knowledge means happy chickens? Will definitely order this again. Side of bacon was pretty basic, came with 4 slices. I unfortunately wasn't able to drink the ube latte because I have a nut allergy and they were unable to accommodate that. However, she made sure in the back to see if there was anything they could do, so that was nice. Bathroom was pretty basic, single room, and had a urinal as well because it was unisex. Not super fancy but had a cool mirror. Busy for a Monday morning! Outdoor seating and inside seating. (not pictured because I felt weird lol). Cute salt shakers and cute plates. Far prices for San Diego. read more

Service was quick and friendly! We arrived at a busy time on a busy weekend (SDSU grad weekend) and had a party of 3. We were sat within 20 mins even though we were given an estimate of 45 mins. Our server was also friendly and gave good service! Food was amazing! I had steak and eggs, cooked medium well and over medium, respectively, Everything was cooked perfectly! I will say, my steak was a bit on the fattier side which I don't mind, but I know for some that's a deal breaker. The chimichurri was the icing on top, as it brought in all of the flavors together! Restaurant was busy, but our server was attentive and professional. It does get a bit crowded, especially during peak weekend brunch times, but overall, never had a bad experience here! read more

Breakfast Republic - Chilaquiles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

I almost never go to Breakfast Republic because of the huge lines it draws on the weekends, but it was the perfect spot for a mid week brunch. I forget how much different these hot spots can be during the week! No wait for a table and the option to eat either inside or on their covered patio outside. Easy parking and quick service. We had a nice table outside and were greeted by a friendly server! I ended up ordering the breakfast burrito but asked to sub the vegan meat for carne asada as I'm not a big steak fan. The burrito was huge and I only ended up eating about half of it. The reality is that this place is more quantity than quality. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. It was more about the giant portions. Although I will say, although my plate was huge and my friend's chilaquiles were massive, my friend got a benedict that looked so sad. Check the pictures and you can see just how different our plates look! The benefit is that they have great gluten free options and are allergen friendly for those who need it. read more

Perfection on the breakfast burger, as well with California eggs Benedict and traditional breakfast. Pancakes were nice and fluffy, we definitely enjoyed all our meals and the cocktails!

Service okay, ambiance cool, food okay! I ordered the ricotta omelette 1st and my eggs was burnt!! When a customer ask for well cooked DO NOT MEAN BURNT!!! I re-ordered the American breakfast again asked my eggs are well Cooked and bacon well cooked not burnt, food come out egg okay bacon BURNT TO CRISP!! The thing I dislike is when the waiters attitude change when you ask them to remake your food your paying for. At this point I just picked through my food cause I was hungry just left gym and 1st meal of day. You don't get mad you make sure the customer order is right as requested. Wasn't even busy!! They should have ask or told chef not to burn my food!!! I like breakfast republic but mission valley location need to step it up!! When people say well that don't mean burn!! Angie was cool but I wish she had acknowledged my food being burnt!! Fixed the issue!! But NO. they just talk and stare at you like you did something wrong because you want your food in particular way. If I was a waiter, I would've took that bacon back to the chef and told him to remake it. If you look at the picture, my bacon is clearly burnt to a crisp. And I asked twice for them not to burn my food. read more
