    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.

    My Son brought us for breakfast Friday morning after a walk, this was my first time at this place, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is great too! The service is great the staff are very nice people.

    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.

    Are you taking reservations or just walk ins?

    We don't take reservations, but depending on the day and if we are running a wait we do allow you to go online and add yourself to the waitlist when you are in your way over. We can't hold tables but it helps to not wait so long at the resturaunt!… Read more

    Are you open for Dine in?

    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?

You can sit outside and have the ocean view with a breeze right across the street. The parking is easy in the lot behind it. Otherwise, on the narrow streets parking can be challenging.

    This restaurant is located inside The Seabird Hotel. We had breakfast here around 9am on a Monday…read moreand the only tables available were outside. It was a little chilly but that's fine. Our servers name was Monse I believe and she was excellent. We had mimosas, an americano, lobster thermidor with cheese grits, and the steak and eggs. Out of the two entrees my favorite was the lobster thermidor which was an egg scramble with chunks of lobster and cheese. The cheesy grits were also delicious. The steak was overcooked so it wasn't doing it for me. Overall I'd say the food is pretty good for being a hotel restaurant I would dine again. The only thing with sitting outside is we saw the occasional transient person threatening patrons. We all just ignored them but it would be nice if they had a little more privacy on the patio from the street.

What's left are a few à la carte selections that were more expensive and not prepared as well as they were when we went previously, which was a couple years ago. What's super annoying is that the menu change still isn't reflected online, so we had no idea until we sat down. The avocado toast was burnt, potatoes were flavorless and unevenly cooked, and the "poached" eggs were hard in the middle. Prices are higher, service is slow, and overall it just feels like a place that exists now purely to gouge tourists in Oceanside. We won't be going back.
