Great service, our waitress was super sweet and she was amazing with the kids. The food was impeccable so much flavor and left us quite full. The only downfall is the small parking lot, but other than that this place was a hit spot for the kids. read more

I just wished they stayed opened longer!!! read more

First time in Don's in all the years I have lived in North County. Went late morning during the week. I don't have the guts nor patience to try it on a weekend day. Parking: Atrocious. I think there are 8 spots total including Handicap. Park on the street and walk a couple hundred feet or yards. Easy enough. Service: Sat at the counter. Super fast service from beginning to end. No complaints although the server did not check on me after the food arrived. Food: Ordered "Make your own" egg white Omelette with mixed vegetables. Hash browns and sausage patties and a biscuit. The omelette was massive and very good. Not salty at all and piping hot. The hash browns are the true star of the show. Crispy outside and soft inside. Perfecto. The sausage patties appeared homemade but somewhat dry and bland. Not salty though:) The biscuit was the loser of the bunch. Large and fluffy and looked commercially packaged. Came with butter and honey. I grabbed some packaged Smuckers jelly to add to it to make it taste better. Wish Don's offered homemade biscuits and jam. Drink. Bottomless hot drip coffee with packaged flavored creamers. Bill: They charge 3.5% for credit card transactions. Businesses in SD need to stop this BS practice. Give it up. Raise your food prices but do not insult me with credit card fees. Its not my responsibility as a customer. read more

Wow this was my first eating here and it was 10/10. It is very busy and it probably has a lot to do with today being a holiday Juneteenth. So we got there at a great time before the line got really long. The servers are so nice and awesome. Chris was a nice person who Got our drinks and I didn't get the name of the actual person who was our server. We sat outside and enjoyed the fresh air and the beautiful ambiance outside. The prices were steep for me but worth it. read more

Don's Country Kitchen - Huevos Rancheros - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

Came here for breakfast with the fam and it did not disappoint. If you are a looking for a hearty and comforting breakfast this is the spot. The hash browns were AMAZING so crispy and good, probably the best I've had in a while. The biscuits and gravy were super good too :) I enjoyed them but my fiancée who loves salt said it could use a bit more. The stuffed hash-brown was great as well. The eggs were cooked great and the hollandaise sauce was tasty. Cinnamon roll was bomb!! Warm and ooey gooey just like a cinnamon roll should be. Service was great and the place was cute and cozy. We sat outside and it was perfect! Parking lot is small but a ton of neighborhood parking nearby read more

Super cute place and our party was seated fairly quickly outside. I was happy they served the entire menu this morning and ordered the mushroom burger with chips. The chips were great but something about the burger patty itself was a little off and it didn't have much flavor despite being covered in mushrooms and cheese. read more

We were referred to Don's Country Kitchen by a local, and it definitely lived up to the recommendation. From the moment we arrived, the staff gave off a warm, family vibe that made the experience feel welcoming. Cinnamon Roll ($6): Cinnamon roll served warm with a thick slab of butter and icing. Soft, fluffy, and really satisfying. Country Stuffed Hash Browns ($19.95): Crispy hash browns layered and stuffed with bacon, sausage, grilled onions, cheese, and country gravy topped with two over-easy eggs. Comes with toast or a biscuit. Very filling and flavorful. Meat Lovers Omelette ($19.95): A three-egg omelette packed with bacon, ham, sausage, and cheese, served with a side of home fries or hash browns and toast or a biscuit. I chose the home fries stir-fried with peppers and onions and upgraded to biscuits and gravy for $2.50. The omelette was solid overall, though the biscuit leaned a bit dry. Parking is limited to a small lot with about 8 spots but street parking is also available in the surrounding area. read more

When in Oceanside, the locals all recommend Don's for breakfast. However, it's a fairly small place and there were long lines to get in, plus it's very near the Ocean Break so we chose that instead. Next time we will try it! read more

Don's Country Kitchen is THAT spot. A small, hidden gem and a true locals-only favorite--and for very good reason. We've been here countless times and the food has never let us down. We've worked our way through almost the entire menu over multiple visits and can confidently say: there is no bad food here. My absolute favorite is Bea's Stuffed Hashbrown--a must-order every single time. On a recent visit, I tried the vanilla chai latte and accidentally received it hot instead of iced. Our waitress immediately fixed it, let us keep the hot one, and still brought out the iced version. Top-tier service like that deserves major praise. Every server here is amazing--friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. There's almost always a wait (yes, even on weekdays), which just proves how good this place is. The pancakes are MASSIVE and ridiculously delicious, and the chicken sandwich is one of our go-to lunch favorites. We absolutely love Don's and will keep coming back again and again. If you haven't been yet... you're missing out. read more

It's no secret I absolutely love Dons, and you should too. Every friend we have it town- Dons is a must visit. Four of us came on our latest visit, in the weekend downpour. They cleared a section under the tents for us and others to wait out the rain while our table was getting set up. The Cinnamon Roll was a table favorite and the stuffed hash browns were incredible. They do extra crispy bacon perfectly, the servers are super nice, and I'll just keep coming back! read more

Don's really knows what they're doing and the reviews don't exaggerate! Although parking is extremely tight - only a couple of spots or street parking, the food is worth it! The customer service is fast, workers are kind, very accommodating, and food comes out quickly! The portions are HUGE, the quality is AMAZING and for the price, it is such a steal! I enjoy coming here every time and the consistency is something I always look forward to. I highly recommend trying their biscuits (they make in house) and the Bea stuffed hashbrowns (what they're known for)! read more

Don's Country Kitchen - Banana Nut Pankcakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

My first visit to this restaurant for brunch last weekend. We had a party of 6 so we had to wait 40 minutes to be seated on a Saturday morning for brunch. There is indoor and outdoor seating, we were seated inside. We had a great server (I didn't catch his name), but he was very attentive and professional. Inside was nice, nothing too special to me, just a standard restaurant. I don't like the small parking lot/limited parking situation. We had to park down the road and walk awhile to get to the restaurant, so heads up on the poor parking situation. The food was amazing! They have a huge menu with a lot of cool items, a hot White Russian?! I've never seen that before, it was so good though! I highly recommend it; if this is your thing. I really liked my son's big omelette, it had cheese, avocado and bacon and it was a huge portion. My hazelnut latte with oat milk was super good too. The portions here are consistent and very large, everyone I sat with had a huge plate of food and we all prefer different menu items. I highly recommend this place; if you haven't had the chance to visit yet, make the time it will be worth it. read more

If I lived closer to this spot I would be coming here all the time because their brunch is so good! I have not been here in a couple of years now but I will be back sooner for sure or have it be our treat of a brunch spot on the weekends or a day off. I am a hashbrown lover, I truly wish I could figure out how to make restaurant or diner quality hash browns at home and I have never been able to figure out how to make them as good. Anyways they have loaded hash browns here which are 2 big pieces of hashbrowns with ingredients in between, I did the Bea's stuffed hash browns this time which includes hollandaise on top of the eggs. Oh my gosh I was so full but I had to keep going because it was so good I did not want to stop eating it. My husband went for the ultimate tuna melt which was large and came with the perfect thin cut fries. The staff here are great and super attentive and we came towards the end of their day and got seated outside with our dog within 10 mins which was awesome. I absolutely love this spot and will be dreaming of those stuffed hashbrowns until I can order them again! read more

We ordered to-go and it was good even though the food got cold so I bet it's even better when it's piping hot! The to go containers were paper, and after 20 minutes they felt flimsy. So I don't think the food can survive any longer than 30 minutes before melting through the box. Loved the food though, and it didn't make us feel heavy or bloated after. The gravy was amazing and complimented all the food we got. I wish we had more gravy so we could dip our hash browns in it! Definitely recommend! read more

Don's was suggested by an acquaintance I spotted while walking South Oside who advised us to go here instead of Beach Break since the crowds there were out of control. We are glad that we made this choice. It's a very cozy place whose outdoor eating is very relaxing due to their setup of being in a covered tent. They also offer special Friday fish options which score a lot of points for us as practicing Catholics. We ended up getting omelettes and the food was hot and served to us in under 10 minutes. The parking here is not ideal, as it's a very small lot and you're left to deal with typical Coast Highway traffic and summertime Zonies. Also, our table was not fully wiped down by the host who sat us, but he seemed to be trying to manage the crowd first versus other priorities. Hopefully this is just a one off experience. Our server Barbara was very considerate and made sure my coffee was always refilled as needed. read more

Don's Country Kitchen - Spanish Omelet & California Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

Drove up to Oceanside specifically for this breakfast and we were all happy that we did so. The flavors are great, the portions are large, and the prices are fair. Parking can be a bit tricky because they have a very small parking lot attached in front but only for about four or five cars. Otherwise it will be free street parking. We arrived around 10AM for Saturday brunch and had to wait about 25 minutes to be seated for a party of three. We felt the wait was worth it though. The food items arrived quickly after we ordered and our waitress was very polite. Inside is pretty large and they have indoor and outdoor seating options. For my first visit, I chose my favorite breakfast dish, which is Eggs Benedict and decided to order their Chorizo Benedict. It honestly had some great flavors and was almost spicy but in the perfect way. I really enjoyed it and ate every bit of it and would highly recommend it. I already want to come back and try some more dishes and would definitely consider this one of the better breakfast options in Oceanside. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now but it's always packed. We were able to get there at about 10 am and surprisingly there was no line! Anywho, girls and I had breakfast, 1 of them had the kids pancakes the other kids French toast. I had the Oklahoma special and it sounded amazing but it was just meh. I can say the best part was the gravy. My biscuit was really dry and the sausage patties were as well. The potatoes weren't bad just needed salt. Girls both liked their food. Over all unsure we would come back. The staff was really nice and attentive so no complaints there. They do have plenty of tables inside and out and there's heating lamps throughout the outside. Once we were leaving the line was definitely growing, so go early! read more

In town for a soccer tournament and my family and I wanted some good breakfast. The parking lot was full so we parked across the street. The wait was not long and were seated within 5 minutes. Our drink orders were taken first, once our drinks came out we ordered our food.

Everything was delicious. read more

I will start by saying this place is usually 5 starts ALL the time but this time unfortunately I can't say it was, it wasn't bad but my steak was extra seasoned I had to squeeze a lot of lemon to tone it down.

Blink and you might drive right by this place set back from the main drag. They have a few parking spots in front of the restaurant but there is plenty of free street parking all around. The place has both indoor and patio seating and, if you are smart, you will take the first table available. Be prepared to wait 30 or more minutes on the weekend for breakfast. Yes, really. The restaurant itself is homey and very casual and the food is very good. And you will not leave hungry. In fact, you will probably be taking some of your food to go. The warm cinnamon roll with icing was pretty good. I didn't love it but it was fine. I am not a French toast guy at all but the French toast here is pretty darn good. It is absolutely drenched in butter and syrup and if you don't mind getting a head start on diabetes, this dish is for you. The stuffed hash browns is an absolute monster of a dish and you get three choices: Country stuffed (gravy, bacon, sausage, etc.), Bea's with Hollandaise (and bacon, avocado and cheese), or Don's with gravy, bacon, mushrooms, spinach, cheese, and avocado. And don't forget the two fried eggs on top of each one. Seriously, call your cardiologist before ordering these I went with the Hollandaise and it was really good. There is so much going on with this dish that I don't know where to start. The combination of flavors is really good but it was the bites with bacon that really made this dish soar. The stuffed hash browns come with toast or a biscuit. The biscuit was very dry. It comes with whipped butter but man, this was a dry biscuit. For two bucks more, you can get gravy and that gravy is really delicious. Speaking of gravy...and calories...and cholesterol...the Country Benedict is pretty awesome. Sausage patties, eggs, biscuits, and a giant pool of fantastic creamy sausage gravy over everything. It's all extremely delicious. By the way, you can order half-portions of certain dishes so keep that in mind. Service was, like the restaurant, friendly and homey. Big food, big flavors, good service, and reasonable prices for the quantity and quality. You will leave as stuffed as their hash browns and as happy as their sunny side up eggs. read more

There are breakfast places and then there's Don's. Don's Country Kitchen is located on the bustling Oceanside section of the Pacific Coast Highway and due to its excellent service and one particularly unique line of stuffed hash brown breakfast entrees, was a terrific place to grab a awesome breakfast with friends on a hazy Marine layer filled day. Our party waited well less than the initially estimated 40 minutes to be called in, but the restaurant's efficient and up-to-date virtual wait in line service gave some us ample time to grab some coffee nearby without having to worry about missing our call. Because we also had a hungry child in the party, management was awesome with providing him with crayons and coloring sheets and prioritizing his food to come out first. As for my food, it was delicious, heavy enough, and a great value for the $17.95 I paid. I got the Don's Stuffed Hash Brown and with its layers of spinach, mushrooms, and a topping of avocado sandwiched between layers of hash browns, I couldn't feel too guilty about the jack cheese and bacon mixed in with all those other ingredients. Since the stuffed hash brown was packed with so much flavor, I felt like I didn't even need to add a lot of ketchup on the top. The English muffins I got on the side were also a nice and perfectly toasted complement. Great food, homey vibes, great location and awesome service...what else can you ask for?? read more
