    Bea's Benedict
    Madelyn B.

    Finally got to try don's after living here for 25 years. And it was great! Solid quaint brunch place, with comfort done well. The parking situation is horrific, and the wait can be hefty, the price is also a bit jarring, but the experience was great!

    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!

    Cinnamon Roll
    Amy P.

    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.

    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!

    Avocado Benedict

    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!

    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)!

    Banana Nut Pankcakes

    Arrived on a Wednesday morning & maybe 10people, that's including the workers, but not long after, people started to come in. We are from outta town & just looked up on Yelp for a breakfast spot, found this gem with 2 others & we were definitely glad, we decided to go here, because not only the staff was super friendly, the food Did Not Disappoint We will for sure be back to this place, if we are ever in town, just to try more of the goodies on the menu. Parking doesn't seem like much, but there's places on the street or near by to park.

    Don's Big Omelet
    Hannah C.

    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.

    Spanish Omelet & California Omelet
    Robert H.

    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.

    Chorizo Benedict
    Zan L.

    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.

    Out side but tented
    Denise D.

    The service was super great. Wait times on Sundays are 20-30 (some outside seating off the parking lot) but it's worth the wait for the uniqueness of this place. It has porch dining and the decor doesn't disappoint. The food, depending on what you get is plentiful and delicious. Worth your dollars.

    Veggie Omelet for my hubby and Pancake Combo with Banana Nut Pankcakes($4 extra) for me
    Mayu H.

    Good place for breakfast. Parking was packed and limited so we parked on side street. Food was good but a bit pricey. Coffee was good. At least it's dog friendly at patio and has shade.

    Kids pancakes
    Khrystina R.

    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!

I love bananas and french toast, so this was the perfect choice. It was sweet but not sickeningly sweet. The bananas were very ripe, but I personally enjoy them this way. The crunch looks to be an oat and crushed nut mixture? I wasn't too sure but it was delicious nonetheless. Everything tasted very good, I enjoyed my side of hash browns, however I prefer them to be a little crunchier. They tasted great regardless. I will say they were superrrr busy, so do expect to wait if you go on a weekend morning. I think they might use bleach to clean the tables, which I'm glad they disinfect between patrons but the table smelled like bleach the whole time, so if that's something that bothers you, maybe ask to sit inside? I think the tablecloth material just holds onto scent idk. Service wasn't the best either, but they were packed so I understand. The workers were nice, we came at an awkward time where they were switching waitstaff for breaks and whatnot, so I think we kinda got forgotten once our food came out lol it took a while to get the check

She was warm, welcoming, and genuinely present, checking in at just the right moments without ever feeling intrusive.

What shined was his care and attention to detail, especially when it came to accommodating my allergies. He made a point to ask questions before taking action, ensuring that everything was handled safely and thoughtfully. I appreciated how realistic and transparent he was about what could and couldn't be modified, which helped build trust and made me feel more at ease navigating the menu. His professionalism and awareness were evident throughout. Drea also made a strong impression with her calm and reassuring presence. She approached everything with a sense of patience and understanding, and I felt genuinely understood and validated in my requests and concerns. Her demeanor helped create a relaxed environment, which is especially meaningful when dealing with dietary needs. She balanced efficiency with empathy in a way that felt very natural. As for the food and drinks, my friend really enjoyed the Buccaneer smoothie and even went back for a second cup of drip coffee, which they said was smooth and satisfying. I had an avocado, egg, and tortilla burrito, and I especially liked the house brown sugar coffee, which had a rich, slightly sweet flavor that came through as a highlight for me.

The food was overall fine. Some plates were good and some were lackluster. The decor was sophisticated and obviously going for an upscale vibe. The bill finally came after we asked multiple times and it totaled over $1,000 and it really was dissatisfying. I would recommend everyone take their business elsewhere. There are better spots to blow some cash.
