    Spent "Mother's Day" weekend visiting Oceanside with my wife, so we decided to try Don's Country Kitchen. The food was delicious, our service was excellent and the outdoor dining was great. If you're just visiting or reside locally, please consider Don's Country Kitchen...I promise you it won't disappoint. Note: The menu offers an array of delicious options to choose from.

    Don's Stuffed Hash Browns

    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

    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.

    Food, Service and Ambiance was great. Homemade salsa is not spicy. We did not exit long for our food.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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)!

    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.

    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.

    Not quite yet but close! We do allow dining on our patio and are extending the patio to provide more seating :-)

    Does this place have bottomless mimosas on Sundays?

    No but you can purchase a full bottle for $18 and a flight of their juices for an extra $2

    Is breakfast served all day?

    Yes. The restaurant closes at 2:00 PM though.

    Any early bird specials?

    Yelp check-in free Mimosa offer is great. They have a tropical mimosa that is delicious.

    Can I buy a gift certificate and would this be a good gift?

    I think this is the first time I started my review, before even getting my food. That's how slow…read morethe service is, they were crazy packed (65% capacity maybe) but looks like they only had 3 people working 1) For all waiters/waitresses reading this. A PEPSI is NOT the same as a COKE, a Hot Dog is not that same as a Corn Dog.... AND Sweet n Low is NOT the same as Splenda. If I would have known they only have Splenda, I woulda ordered a Coke. But she said "yeah, we have sweet in low" Now we wait for our food and I'll continue the review. Mozzarella sticks were okay. Oil might be old cause they looked darker than normal but the batter was good and cheese sorta melted. 3.5 stars Ordered carne asada fries based of the waitress recommendation. It was okay. Fries were good, cheese was good and good amount, sour cream and guac was good. Carne asada was mid and amount was not that much. Being generous 4 stars Tea was good 4 stars. Philly was decent (wife got it, it's her review). 3,5 stars Below is reviews from my son who was STARVING and just finished a 10 day wrestling camp. Mac & cheese 2 stars. Cheese is viscous and strong Armenian cheese flavor Burger was 3 stars. Needs to be bigger and more juicy Mozzarella sticks 2 stars We not from here so won't come back for sure. Service wasn't great. She was nice but I think over whelmed with customers The Cheese Cake however, saved the day. 5 stars as in I would get it again and again. Once it died down, waitress did come by more often. Over all 3.5 stars but I don't feel right giving this place a 4 so I have to go with 3 And then we get the check and there is a 3% Green Fee (not on the menu but on the check) So that dropped the waitress tip from $30 to $15. But they earned that $5 Green Fee

    Good Vibe, Delicious Apps, and Good Service…read more My wife and I recently dined here after having a tough time deciding between Nick's on State and Campfire--so stay tuned, because a Campfire review is definitely coming down the road. When we arrived, the restaurant was buzzing. The host let us know it would be a 1.5-hour wait for a table unless we wanted to sit at the bar. We opted for the bar, and I'm glad we did. The atmosphere and surroundings were great, and the bar staff was incredibly nice and welcoming (one of them even thought I looked familiar). Right off the bat, we were served waters without even having to ask, which is always a nice touch. To drink, I ordered the Berry Yuzu Spritz. It was absolutely delicious, and the chunks of fresh fruit in it were a great addition. My wife ordered a glass of the Daou Reserve. She mentioned it probably could have used a little more time to breathe before being served, but hey, neither of us are sommeliers, so it wasn't a dealbreaker by any means. We decided to kick things off with the Shrimp Taquitos and the Bacon Deviled Eggs. The Shrimp Taquitos texture was awesome--perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and not over-wrapped at all. Every bite I took seemed better than the last! My wife felt they could have gone a little lighter on the creamy sauce, but for me, the crunch-to-sauce ratio was spot on. I was excited to tru the Bacon Deviled Eggs because it was my first time trying a deep-fried deviled egg, and it was a fun experience. It just took two bites to finish. While it was good, I didn't get much of the bacon flavor, and the filling needed just a bit more "umph" to it--it tasted mostly like a standard deviled egg until I piled on some extra chives for flavor. (Side note: These actually made me miss the incredible deviled eggs at a hotel in downtown San Diego. I have a review coming out for that spot soon, but if you want the name before then, just send me a message and I'll drop it for you). After demolishing the apps, our entrees arrived. My wife ordered the Chicken Piccata and it came out as two very hefty portions of chicken alongside mashed potatoes and a salad. It was a solid, pretty good dish, though nothing particularly stood out as a wow factor. I ordered the Bistro Plate, which featured a filet mignon served over toasted bread with tomato. I'm usually not a tomato fan, but the combination here really worked. The plate also comes with a soup and a salad. The salad was quite good. The soup was tasty, though I wasn't a huge fan of the deep-fried jalapeños inside because they got a bit soggy in the broth. As for the filet, it was cooked medium-rarish--perfectly medium-rare right in the center, getting a little more done as you moved outward. Overall, we truly enjoyed the food and the excellent service. The only real downside was our specific seating location. As the sun began to set, it blared right into my face at the bar. If you plan on catching a spot at the bar around sunset, check out my pictures and try to avoid the exact spot I was in. We had a really nice evening and would absolutely come back. Next time, we'd love to grab a booth and explore a few more items on the menu. Highly recommend giving them a look!

The cornbread was easily the best I've ever had -- warm, flavorful, and moist. I don't like cornbread because it's usually dry but my goodness, this cornbread was anything but. It was the best cornbread I've ever had.The broccoli was also the best I've ever had. I'm not a fan of broccoli, but the cooks charred the outside to get such a nice, crispy texture without it tasting burnt. Meanwhile the broccoli stem was cooked to contrast with the crunchy-like bites of the charred head. The market fish trout was good, granted trout was dry and isn't my favorite fish. But I ordered it to pay attention to the other facets of the dish: the puree and mushrooms that accompanied it were the stars. At least the trout skin was crispy. Campfire has a rustic, cabin feel to it (I thought the arrows on the walls were a cool touch). Servers were great and attentive. I'd come back to try other entrees.
