Waited for more than 35 minutes on a weekday for a party of 4 last week. Ordered omelets. Fresh ingredients specially the veggies and fruits. Mexican coffee and chocolate ordinary. Large serving and was able to take half to go. Service didn't stand out. Not cheap. Denny's or IHOP would be a better bet. read more

I am new to hanging out in San Pedro and was introduced to Rex's very recently. The food is terrific, the service is great and I would highly recommend this restaurant. We usually go for breakfast. I like the egg dishes and instead of potatoes I get the steamed veggies which include broccoli cooked al dente which is just the way I like. I also like the multi grain pancake. They do a lovely latte with soy milk. I love this spot for breakfast. I would highly recommend this spot. read more

My husband and I are visiting from Kentucky and were introduced to Rex's by a friend - who just happens to be a vegetarian. Once we found Rex's, we've been back 3 mornings in a row!!! We're staying at the Doubletree Hotel at Cabrillo Marina and this is SO convenient!! We can't say enough good things about this little gem. My hubby loves the Mexican omelet and my favorite has to be the French toast on squaw bread. A tablemate introduced us to the Mexican coffee, but not before we'd ordered the regular variety. We'll try to make our own but there's no doubt it won't be as good. This is a quaint, neighborhood cafe' and always filled up whenever we visited. We give it 5 stars for food quality, excellent - and friendly - service and great value for your dollar. Wish we had a Rex's in Kentucky!!!! We'll spread the word to all we know traveling to this area. The Morrises from kentucky read more

Rex has one of the best breakfasts in San Pedro, always friendly service. If you go on the weekends be prepared for a little wait but it is worth it. read more

First time and I was not disappointed it was amazing. Great food, my girlfriend had eggs Carrillo a socal version of eggs Benedict and I had chilaquiles rojos and both were so good. The service was great they were on top of everything, they were on the ready with refilling our coffees. They were so nice and professional and talk about taking care of their customers, we were complimented with a banana and pecan muffin. So I highly recommend this restaurant it's a must when you are in San Pedro, its a cute and cozy cafe. read more

San Pedro burger, pancakes, everything awesome! We love it. Parking is challenging so go early. Worth it. Small place but we always bring our kids no problem. read more

The food and atmosphere at this place is amazing. The seasonings on my porterhouse were perfect, and our server did his job very well, not hovering, but making sure that we had what we needed. read more

The food is awesome and the service is fast and friendly. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a bite.

The food is great there everything I have tried there is awesome I love the steak and eggs with home potatoes. The service is first class the waitresses are friendly and they always check up on you. read more

Came here for breakfast after a morning run with friends and I love their green eggs cabrillo and fruit bowl! The service was very welcoming and friendly. It felt like having breakfast at a friend's house hah I would definitely come back again so I can try one of their specials off the menu such as the coconut pancakes! read more

I've been to Rex's Cafe twice. The first time I had made it just in time before it closed, I was hiking nearby at white point beach which is about 2 miles away. I had ordered breakfast which was some French toast, eggs, and bacon with a side of hash browns. When I received my food the hash browns were extremely burnt, so I asked for it to be removed from the tab because I was definitely not going to pay for that. Everything else was perfect, I tried their strawberry banana smoothie and I fell in love, their French toast are a bit different, but worth the try. My second visit here I had came just after church on a Sunday, the vibe was perfect, service was persistent, our food came pretty quick. This spot is a gem in the city of San Pedro, I recommend this place to anyone who visits the city. Perfect place to eat at just after a hike, Sunday service, or some brunch with the family. read more

Quaint local spot with great service. Large portions and wide variety of brunch options. Street parking was a little difficult.

Food quality does not match the price for the food. Service is bad. I really don't get all the hype from this place. I rather just stick to the omelette and waffle shop for my breakfast needs and come here if McDonald's and waffle shop are closed that day. read more

I love this adorable hole in the wall breakfast place, which you would never expect to find at it's slightly shady location (that being said, I do live right down the street, so whatever). I highly recommend the French Connection, or the stuffed french toast - they are both awesome. Lots of other good staples there as well. It is my hangover breakfast dream come true! read more

finally writing a review after several visits. The good-food is delicious and will definitely be back for the food even after a couple service problems. Weekend service is far superior than weekday service. Never had a problem on the weekend, and it's so much more busy. but first time I came on a weekday, I didn't get my espresso until entrees came out. Waiter could have stopped by to inform us she was busy and apologize for not getting espresso to us sooner. When we first ordered out drinks from the busser, we asked if they had a certain drink that was on the special board, and he said yes. When waitress was taking our food order, another waitress came to tell us that the drink we ordered was only available when it's on the specials board. ANYWAY-FOOD IS TOO GOOD TO GRIPE ABOUT SERVICE. read more

My Daughter was in town and we went for breakfast, the food was excellent but the service is slow, and the waitress forgot my wife's coffee. Parking is also always a problem. But the food makes up for it and is worth the wait. read more

Crack heads outside roaming, no parking ever, staff all rude and the food has gone down hill and prices up. No thanks.

Rex's is a breakfast staple. I've seen a few reviews complaining about the service, even from people supposedly in the food service industry, and that is utter nonsense. The place can get busy and the servers don't have the same time to chat as they do when it is slow, but it is a great, welcoming place. Sometimes when things get super busy, yeah, you might have to wait. But the food is reliably great, especially the chilaquiles and the pancakes (the fluffiest pancakes you've ever had). Great salads, perfect poached eggs. And wonderful people who work here! read more

This is a such a good little spot. Took my mom for mothers day and was not disappointed. Oj was super fresh and tasty, food was cooked perfectly. Servers were extremely nice and efficient without being down your throat. read more

thought I would try eggs benny. i should have read description better instead of going off name. eggs Benny is not eggs Benedict. there is no hollandaise but jack cheese. and not hame but flavorless sausage. it was disgusting. the potatoes are bland. i will never come here again. waste of money. Denny's is a million times better and cheaper. only thing good was service and coffee. read more

Food is decent, service not so much. Waitress was super slow and acted like we were bothering her when we were ordering. Took FOREVER to come back to get the rest of our order when we weren't quite ready. Drinks came after food was at the table. Here I am waiting for her to run our payment. It is 9 am on a Thursday, there are only 3 other tables here, seriously?!! Just go to Omelet & Waffle shop next time. read more

This place is adorable! Wonderful muffins... today it was blueberry almond and lemon sesame. Order them as soon as you can, because they often sell out before the day is done. The omelets are very hearty, chock full of fresh veggies. They don't skimp on the expensive stuff either (mmm portebello mushrooms and avocado!!). As a brunch lover, I was also appreciative of the fact that they had a "hot cereal" section on their menu, and their fruit bowls were indeed BOWLS of fruit. Again, very generous with the fresh produce. Definitely a thumbs up from this Brunch Connoisseur. read more

Came here for breakfast. Very good food. Lattes are good. Not happy with the regular coffee, but in their defense I am a coffee snob.

Phenomenal chilaquiles and big fresh fruit bowl. Maybe the best breakfast I've eaten. Superior quality and price. Red sauce is best I've had too. read more

Food was delicious and very photogenic. This might be my favorite breakfast place in San Pedro.

This was a recommendation from a friend. Very good little place. Simple decor and good food. The bacon and eggs were good, fresh fruit, the spinach portobello omelet was good stuff, the machaca and eggs was tasty, and the blueberry whole wheat pancake was nice. Obviously, we had breakfast and would go back. Forgot, the coconut blueberry was moist with some cornmeal flavor. Would go back for sure. read more

This place is fantastic. In my quest to find a new awesome place for lunch, I stumbled upon this little restaurant on a sunny, breezy day. The moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by one of the waiters, where he immediately directed me to sit anywhere. I chose the outdoor patio. Literally, 10 seconds later, the waiter handed me a menu. I was a little hungry arriving there, but after reading the vast array of delectable array of food, I chose the BLT turkey sandwich and a side salad.The waitress was friendly and took my order. Literally 1-2 minutes later, she came back with a huge helping of salad, which looked more like a main course than a "side salad". It tasted pretty good. Bright green romaine lettuce, fresh tomatoe, and suprisingly a toasted bagle on the side, which I didn't expect. Three minutes later, she arrived with my BLT sandwich. I'm telling you, this dine-in restaurant served their food faster than same of the fast food places that i've been to. The BLT sandwich was also delicious, which baffled me on how fast they cooked it and brought it to my table. The waitress checked on me twice after that. She offered a box and brought the check without me asking her to, and the price of the huge portions of food was pleasantly reasonable. The bathroom was pleasant looking with old-fashioned painting and furniture, and as I walked out of the restaurant, the friendly waiter and waitress said thank you. A definitely good experience in this restaurant. This is definitely not my first and only visit to this place. read more

This is a cute place that obviously is a local's place - which I like. The area is a bit sketchy but the restaurant itself is really cute. I had the Mexican Omelet and it was really good. Large portions, good prices, good service. I will be back if I am ever in San Pedro. read more

Yup, it's official. This IS the best breakfast place in San Pedro! The food has never disappointed me, as well as the servers and atmosphere. Most definitely not your typical greasy spoon diner. read more

I love hidden gems. In the midst of the San Pedro food desert, this cozy spot hits the spot. Great pancakes, friendly service and a cute atmosphere equal a happy belly. User warning: one pancake is the size of an entire dinner plate! Plan on hitting the gym before and after. read more

My favorite breakfast place in SP. The food and service is always great. The specials are never dull. And I try to remember to get there early since there will most likely be a wait and they close early. read more

Sometimes a long wait but this is best breakfast spot in San Pedro. If you're there for lunch, their tortilla soup is among the best anywhere but they don't always have it on the daily specials. Pancakes are huge and delicious. Lots of egg dishes to choose from with fresh ingredients. Servers have been there for years and treat all their customers like neighbors. read more

The food is pretty good, but the portions leave a lot to be desired and the customer service is probably the worst I've ever experienced at a restaurant. I've called in orders for pick up numerous times, and they are consistently impolite and short on the phone. Many of the times, I called in for work that had multiple orders. I gave them advanced notice that we need to pay separately. They very rudely told me "we won't do that; we're too bust." They would rather give up $80 worth of orders because they would have to swipe four cards instead of one. No place is that busy. The final straw came today when I picked up food five minutes before they were to close. The door was locked, and when I knocked, they refused to open the door. As I casually sauntered away, they opened the door and yelled that I need to come on time. I said you're supposed to be open for five more minutes. The woman proceeded to tell me it doesn't matter what my watch or phone says, and that time is based off of her watch. Like I said, the food is good, but it is also overpriced and nowhere near good enough to deal with the incredibly poor service. I will not be coming back to Rex's again and I'd advise against it until they begin valuing their customers. read more

Stopped here for breakfast with my girlfriend while we were on vacation, and had to return the following morning again just because it was that good. The service was great, and the homemade muffins were the best I've ever had! We would definitely recommend this place and would definitely come back! read more

My fav little diner! Excellent food, music and service! Parking is a pain but overall this is an awesome place to eat and chill out.

Came in early Monday morning (7) and no one there. But yelpers had convinced me it was worth a visit and when I remarked about the emptiness, the staff assured me, "by lunch time it's packed". Ordered Eggs Benny and fruit. The eggs poached perfectly soft as I asked and a turkey or chicken sausage, no hollandaise, but covered in cheese. Tasty. Fresh squeezed OJ and fruit that seemed just cut (except the pineapple?), including kiwi? NICE. read more

One of my favorite breakfast places! Love the options they give you. From pork or turkey bacon & sausage, to their deliteful fruit medley that u can pick and choose from. read more

Kimberly was kind and , cheerfully served us! She was very helpful to my vegetarian friend with the selections. Great breakfast food, service and ambience! I will return to Rex's!! read more

One of my favorite diners! Great, friendly service. They make you feel welcomed and right at home. Coffee and the food are delicious. My favorite is the eggs Benny.. And their pancakes are amazing!!! So fluffy and fresh and huge! read more

The food is good and healthy but the parking situation is horrible!! Take the bus here. The nice waitress doesn't work here anymore, the ones there now seem to be annoyed. If the owner is there, she looks pissed off too !!! read more
