Was walking along the coast, locals recommended Don's for breakfast. Got the special: one egg, beautiful local sausage, hashbrowns, and one biscuit, smothered and gravy. So divine and Christa was a fantastic server! Definitely recommend read more

Don's Country Kitchen - 1/2 Oklahoma Special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

Was in the area and decided to stop by based on the yelp reviews. Was a 45 min wait due to Vday so we walked around the area to pass time. We decided to sit outside to enjoy the open air. The parking was small but we got lucky and found a spot! The food was definitely worth the wait , I can see why the locals come here. If I'm in the area I will definitely be back ! Also the men's bathroom has some inspirational messages read more

My fave breakfast place in north county. The only place I will eat the biscuits and gravy. They are fluffy and light and the gravy is perfectly seasoned. The wait is long but the staff is kind and personable. read more

great food! huge portions and cool twists on the hash brown omelet thing. i loved the food, service at the table was nice. the only big drawback is their awful line and host system. they have one person manning the stand at the entrance who's also taking groups to their table and sometimes running to the back. we waited at least 10 minutes just to get our name on the waitlist (which was another 40min wait) and the host just continuously ignored us while we kept trying to put our name down with him. we were finally seated and service was fast after that. i'd love to come again for the food but I would like to try to go when it's not their busy hours. read more

Great little place in Oceanside. Small spot with only a few parking spots out front. Staff is friendly and attentive. Food portions are good for the cost. Food is tasty. Everything was cooked perfectly. This place is popular and can have a bit of a wait during busy times. Get there early and drop off your partner to check ed in while you find a place to park. read more

That stuck in the area and decided to have some breakfast. This place was great! I love the outside covered patio. Very cozy destination. Parking is a little tough. I had the country stuffed hashbrowns and boy were they good! See photo below.. The gravy is homemade and apparently the hollandaise too. Next time I will try that. The portions were huge! That picture is half of my order because I had eaten the other half on the other side. turns out I could've gotten a half order. Now I know! Service was amazing! Everyone was friendly. Food came out fast, but there were not a lot of people here as I came on a weekday morning. I would definitely come back here again. Can't hate a place with great food, nice ambience and amazing bathroom signage. (See photos below.). read more

dropped off grandma who ALWAYS wants to go to Denny's or (egads) Sizzler so we got to eat at DON's COUNTRY KITCHEN instead. it was early afternoon by the time we finished our errands and sat down to eat. not being much of a breakfast person anyway, that made for a built in excuse to order lunch instead. I got the FRISCO BURGER (1/3 lb ground beef patty, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato and 1000 island dressing on grilled sourdough cheese toast) with extra crispy fries. now that most sit-down restaurants have gone to 1/2 pound burgers the patty seemed small but everything else worked. Wyatt had BEA's STUFFED HASH BROWNS (two layers of hash browns with bacon, avocado, and jack cheese topped with two eggs over easy and hollandaise) and enjoyed it enough to green-light adding my version to his regular breakfast rotation at home. the wife-unit went old school and ordered the TRADITIONAL BENEDICT (toasted English muffin, Canadian bacon, poached eggs, and hollandaise with hash browns). I'm thinking there's going to be a fair amount of that rich sauce of egg yolks, butter, and lemon juice in my breakfast making future. server was a delight and the atmosphere comfortably funky. very solid eats. really a nice surprise. read more

Unfortunately Don's Country Kitchen fell short of our expectations. Our brunch overall had okay, nothing standout, food. Service wasn't very attentive (our server didn't check on us at all after serving us). I heard that Don's had good cinnamon rolls, but we found them to be very dry around the edges (almost stale) and sadly cold. For the price, I would certainly pick another spot. read more

Don's Country Kitchen - Cinnamon Roll - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

I came into Don's Country Kitchen on a weekend morning and even though it was busy, the vibe was relaxed and the service was warm. You can tell it's a spot that people come back to over and over. I ordered the French toast and the Bea's Benedict. The French toast was really good--thick slices, a nice golden crust, soft in the middle, and not overly sweet. It tasted homemade in the best way. The eggs Benedict was also on point. The eggs were poached just right and the hollandaise had a smooth, buttery flavor without being too heavy. Everything was well-seasoned and came out hot. What I appreciated most was how easy everything felt. The servers were kind, the food came out quick, and I never felt rushed even with people waiting for tables. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back next weekend and bring someone new. Nothing fancy or over the top--just great food made with care. I'm already thinking about what I'll order next time. read more

This place was outstanding. From the customer service to the food. Everything was delicious. Mckenna was a pleasure to have as out server. She was friendly, patient, and very attentive. We were seated within 15 minutes. Plenty of seating available inside and out. We loved the decor in the patio area. We had a few laughs. I ordered the special that morning, Green Chilaquiles. I've had my share of this dish. It's one of my favorite Mexican breakfast dishes. That being said, overall great dish. Everything was made very well. Tortilla chips were crispy, egg was made perfectly, a little runny. The salsa was good. It was not spicy at all. The Peach Waffle was delicious. My only feedback for this dish would be to have had a peach syrup/glaze or added peaches to the batter. Highly recommend this place. read more

Used to come here every week with my wife. One day we show up after being told the waitlist was 40 minutes and we waited patiently IN THE POURING RAIN, to be promptly removed from the waitlist with no warning. When I approach the host to ask about the situation, it appears it happened to several other waiting customers as well. He says "Too bad, you should have checked in with me" When I asked to speak to the manager, he says "yup thats me". Great work Daniel, you permanently lost several long term customers today with your horrible attitude. A simple apology would have sufficed, instead, ego was the star of the show from a manager in the service industry, very unprofessional. read more

Don's Country Kitchen in Oceanside made our list of places to visit, due to the Yelp reviews. So it was time to taste the food! Breakfast was served! Eventually. We did have to wait a while for a table, as did many others in the parking lot. The ambiance is of an old relaxed diner. It was old farm furniture, but it works. But it was also a wait for the food. Our small table looked even smaller after they put the huge plates stuffed with food down. Big portions and filling food. The Stuffed Hash Browns were recommended by the waitress after we announced our selves as new customers. First time for everything! So we ordered them. We got one Don's Stuffed Hash Browns and one Country Stuffed Hash Browns. We should have shared one order. We enjoyed 1/2 our meals and took the rest home. We both thought the food was flavorful and hit the spot. This is a great breakfast spot. You feel at home and relaxed. No wonder there is a long line of people waiting for a table. The next day, we did eat 1/2 our leftovers. They may raise my cholesterol, but they are worth it. read more

The stuffed hash browns were amazing! Wonderful staff especially Katie! She was outstanding!

This is a cute little restaurant. Of course it has a country theme. I loved all the signs on the walls. The food was equally as good. Service was a little bit slow, but it was very very busy on a Sunday morning. I wish they had a bigger parking lot! We had to park down the street and around the corner. The area is becoming very congested due to all the new restaurants popping in. The food was great, exactly what you would expect from a country kitchen! read more

Get here early (before 9:30 am) and there's little to no wait. The staff is super friendly & the food is incredibly delicious. We always get a cinnamon roll to share with the table (appetizer ) then I must get the stuffed hash browns (either Bea's or the country). You won't be disappointed!!! read more

Food was A+ Service was also an A. I had never been to the Oceanside restaraunt, only the Carlsbad location & knew the food was going to be GREAT Tucked into a small parking lot on the Coast Hwy in the heart of Oceanside. Plenty of street parking as the lot is quite small. Large portions! Extensive menu. Kid friendly. Expect to wait if you come during the weekend at peak hours. We all had something different & enjoyed each dish. Looking forward to a return visit! read more

Don's Country Kitchen - Tasty egg scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

What the heck -- 5 stars! Don's Country Kitchen in Oceanside, California had me hooked from the moment I stepped inside. The interior is older, sure, but it radiates a cozy vibe, especially if you choose a spot at the counter and watch the friendly staff hustle around the open kitchen. I came specifically for Bea's Stuffed Hashbrowns: two layers of crunchy potatoes sandwiching a generous helping of bacon and avocado, crowned with two over-easy eggs and a drizzle of hollandaise sauce that brought it all together with a tangy finish. Everything tasted fresh, from the crisp hashbrowns to the ample avocado, and the bacon had just the right amount of smoky bite The coffee is standard diner fare--mellow enough to sip continuously while chatting with your dining companions or waiting for your food to arrive. My total came to around $25 after tax and tip, which might feel steep for a single dish and coffee, but the portions here are massive. You won't leave hungry, and you'll probably need a to-go box. That family-owned vibe runs through every interaction, making the place feel lively yet welcoming. I'm already planning a return trip to further explore the menu read more

Their cinnamon rolls? Massive and absolutely to die for! I grabbed breakfast to go last month for my son and me, and the portions were huge. Even though it was takeout, the food was still delicious! I know a lot of places don't love being reviewed on takeout because the food can taste different or not hold up, but Don's Country Kitchen nailed it! It was just classic breakfast food, but the hash, eggs, bacon, and of course, the cinnamon rolls were still great by the time we dug in. We're definitely fans and will keep going back. Plus, the staff was super friendly, which is hit or miss at many eating establishments nowadays. read more

I had to change my 5 star rating to a 4 star unfortunately. Best breakfast by far around! with both creative dishes and traditional dishes. I crave what used to be me treat a few times a week. Team and management here home runs I have never had anything short of amazing service here. Parking isn't convenient but once you try the food you will pale somewhere and humbly walk over. The why the drop to 4 stars. Weekends get packed with a dude from both tourist and I and sure some of us locals, on those days I'd call ahead pickup and avoid the chaos. On the holidays online and phone pickups would be turned off which was annoying because I want my treat. I just called for 20 minutes this morning to find out every weekend is now blocked off for order online and By phone. I get kitchen have demands and limits. Can you have a vip list that still can get in if local? Can it be on till 9am turn off for peak? Let's open the 2nd location? Can I prepay for month? There just isn't anywhere within an Hour of San Diego as good. read more

The only place for breakfast in Oceanside for me! I've been to Don's Country Kitchen countless times, but with the exception of yesterday, I had not been there in 20 years. Most every face was new, but the friendliness and smiles have not changed. The food was as delicious as ever and I love the new signature dishes like stuffed hash browns. Awesome food at great prices served by a really cool and down to earth staff, in a very cozy setting. If you're hungry for breakfast you gotta hit this place up. It's minutes from the 5 fwy, so even if you're not an Oceanside resident, you should try this restaurant!!!!! read more

Great breakfast and amazing service!! I was dining here on a few occasions but never got to write a review . Now the time has come. I have nothing else to say but great things about this restaurant. It's one of my top spots for breakfast. The foods they serve are super tasty and home made like. We were satisfied every time we ate here. They have big selection of tasty dishes on their menu at a fair price. The restaurant got so popular that they had to expand the seating area into parking lot to accommodate all the hungry guests. During our last visit we ordered egg Benedict and machaca. Both dishes were equally delicious and very filling. The poached eggs oozed out as expected and machaca was very flavoursome. Make sure to order extra helping of tortillas to enjoy the whole machaca plate. Everything was seasoned right. Since we are aregular customers here, our waitress Rikki J. recognised us and was super friendly as always. She made our dining experience simply awesome. We will be back for more soon again!! Do visit this restaurant!! read more

Another solid breakfast spot, open from 7am to 2pm. Store front - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dons-country-kitchen-oceanside?select=AKDp44R0688uAfwjlrnmCw I have a few good friends in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area, so it feels like I'm here more often than at home. This morning, after an early meeting, I met up with VH, who had the day off. VH had been to Don's Country Kitchen several times and suggested we come here for breakfast. I agreed--though not without first checking them out on Yelp*. (I've learned that just because someone is a friend or family member, it doesn't mean they take their food seriously.) LOL VH doesn't have the best track record with restaurant recommendations--I've had the indigestion and stomach pains to prove it. But Don's Country Kitchen turned out to be a solid find: a quaint neighborhood eatery with an old-school menu, generous portions, and great customer service. The prices are a bit on the $$ side, but then again, this isn't your local Denny's or Coco's. Our order: - Bea's Benedict - Country Stuft Hash Browns - Mocha with an extra shot Eggs cooked to perfection Food seasoned just right, not overly salty A cozy, local diner and coffee shop with a hometown feel Overall rating: 4 Stars - Big Aloha!

Stumbled upon this place one yelp when looking for a breakfast/brunch spot. Family owned and operated and you can tell (in the best way). Staff was extremely welcoming, personable and you can hear that there are so many regulars that keep on coming. As we were waiting for our food to come out, my bf and I noticed that they had such a good assembly line and great communication that everything worked out despite the busy morning. When you have staff like that, it makes it such a pleasant experience. Parking is extremely small, maybe about 3 or 4 parking spaces in front of the restaurant. Otherwise, it's street parking but there was enough to where you didn't have to walk very far at all. I ended up recommending this place to a friend that used to live in San Diego as she's never heard of it. Would definitely come back!! read more
