Got an eggs benedict with fruit. Everything here feels very.....standard? It's a simple and unassuming breakfast place. Great texture on both the poached eggs and the English muffin. It's maybe just a tad on the smaller end, but it's relatively affordable. Coffee had a light, even taste. Fruits were fine. read more

I agree with a few of the other reviews that that service is lacking and the food is just OK. Notably, it is not that flavorful. Which is fascinating, because The Good Egg has this very visible sign right when you walk in praising their 2023 Beacon Readers Choice Awards for the area's best breakfast. This is not an award-winning restaurant or experience. The first feeling I had was that the Good Egg reminded me of a hotel restaurant. The ambiance and decor are generic and stale. The team barely gave a good morning when I walked in, and I noticed they had the same nonchalant attitude toward other guests. I will say that that I was impressed with the cleanliness, and the menu is extensive. with breakfast and brunch served daily. The menu features lighter options, like yogurt parfaits and avocado toast, a variety of Eggs Benedict, hearty skillets, classic breakfast plates, omelettes and Southwestern-inspired dishes, such as chilaquiles and huevos rancheros. They also have pancakes, a Belgian waffle and French toast on the menu. It seems the stuffed French toast is popular. There are also sandwiches, wraps, melts and salads. They also seem vegetarian and kid-friendly. But, goodness, the food is quite bland. It has no soul in it. I will say that the bacon is outstanding. But all else -- underwhelming. read more

AWARENESS: Waking up hungry for breakfast on May 2, 2025, the wife and I decided to try The Good Egg because of its close proximity to where we staying, the Point Loma Annex which is directly across the street on Harbor Blvd. * I believe this location was once the Smash Burger but, I'd have to review my past reviews and photo's of this location to be sure. NARRATIVE: The good Egg's front entrance faces Lanning Road and the first thing you'll notice is, they have seating just outside their entrance doors. Once inside, you'll notice a bright and airy interior and extremely attentive staff. The wife and I looked ver the menu and my eyes went directly to their Salmon Eggs Benedict. I'm not too sure what the wife ordered. Our orders were placed with "to go" instructions and we were told it would be a 20 to 30 minute wait so, we headed next door to Starbucks to kill some time. Once our orders were picked up, we headed back to our cottage to check out the eats. My Salmon Benedict looked great and I appreciated the fact they placed the hollandaise sauce in a separate container, not to contaminate the food. My order was very good but my wife had a mixed onion about hers. Maybe it was the time delay from carry out to the actual time we ate or, maybe something wasn't cooked to her expectations. I really don't recall what the issue was, I just know when I returned for the same breakfast the next morning, she declined in joining me. SCENE: The Good Egg is located at the corner of Lanning Road and Harbor Blvd, right next door to the Starbucks. The location can get busy, especially on the weekends when joggers park their cars in the lot and take off for their runs or walks over Harbor towards the wharf. RECOMMENDATION(S): I thought my food was good but it was not exceptional. Would I eat here again? Yes, It's good. It's just not great. read more

My new favorite breakfast place in Liberty Station. We usually go to Breakfast Republic when craving a good breakfast, but my sister told me about and suggested this gem, and it did not disappoint! The place is clean and cute with ample seating. Service is friendly and expeditious. Staff is nice and attentive. Food is excellent with huge portion sizes! I highly recommend The Good Egg! We will be back! read more

We went here straight from the airport and while it didn't look busy, the one server working and one cook seemed slammed (there were 3 tables seated when we walked in. After about a 10 minute wait, we were seated, 10 minutes after that our drink and food orders were taken. I got the lox bagel, my other half got bacon and eggs, snd we ordered stuffed french toast to share. It was a lot of food and we ended up taking about half of it home. The restaurant is spacious, bright, and clean. read more

Service was slow but they were nice. Food took a long time to come out although it was not busy. The sandwiches look better than the omelets. Omelets lack nice plate presentation but are decent to taste. Coffee was weak and lacked good beans. Meh - not dying to return - would not recommend read more

Due to its location on the periphery of Liberty Station, I have never stumbled upon the Good Egg until now. One thing I appreciate about this establishment is that they took reservations for large parties! It's surprisingly difficult to find a brunch spot that'll take these big groups. My party of about 16 people came here for brunch on a weekend morning, and it was already lively with families and patrons. One thing to note for reservations: Your entire party must be present before you can be seated. I understand that, due to our party size, it is difficult to expect amazing service. Our waitress was great, and she did her best to take all of our food and drink orders. It may have been a painful and slow process, but it was super chaotic, so I think she did a great job taking charge. Nonetheless, one small complaint I have is that my water was not once refilled. It's honestly not a big deal, but I finished my water before the food came out and it hadn't been refilled by the time we paid the bill. But again, I know it's difficult to wait on a huge table. My main gripe is with the portion size. I ordered the Classic Benedict with fruit, which came out to be around $16. And for the portion size (see below), I felt rather underwhelmed. Let's just say I finished fast, and was left unsatisfied. Judging from the other plates my party ordered, I think the other dishes may have been a better bang for your buck. Overall, I had an average experience at the Good Egg. I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back though, unless I had another huge brunch party. read more

This is a cute little spot right on the outskirts of Liberty Station. Stopped in after a workout and some coffee, the chilaquiles, and pancakes to split. Pancakes were good. I asked what the protein options were for my dish and they said egg, and chicken. I wanted to add steak but they told me it would be an additional $15 which I thought was really overpriced just for a side of steak to add to my chilaquiles. Never had an up charge like that for a side, so I decided to pass, which made my dish just ok, not very much flavor. The service staff was nice but didn't really come back to check on us after we got our food, and also would take our small plates away but leave our big plates, despite being empty sitting on our table for the duration of our meal. Overall, the price of our food, and inconsistent service, our experience was just ok. read more

Came here on a Saturday around 9:00am no wait to be seated. Seating inside and outside. Bathrooms in the back. Service was friendly, music a bit loud. Ordered stacked pancakes with bacon strips. Size was huge however taste was okay it was a bit dry and heavy. Bacon was okay more on the toasted side. Strawberry's were on the sour side. Price point is high so expected more better tasting food. read more

When we first arrived, we weren't even greeted -- that should've been our first red flag. We had heard good things about this place, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. Our waitress, Betsy (older woman with blonde hair & glasses), was rude and unprofessional from the start. I explained that I had a medical condition and asked if I could order from the kids' menu since I cannot physically eat large portions. I even offered to show my doctor's card. Instead of being understanding, she coldly said the owner doesn't allow anyone over 12 to order off the kids' menu. When I said that was unreasonable, her sarcastic response was, "Well, you can tell the owner that then." She then told me I could "just order side items instead," which felt dismissive and unhelpful. After that, she walked off and never came back to check on us. I didn't order anything, and I definitely didn't leave her a tip. I even had to flag down another waitress just to pay the bill because Betsy completely ignored us. This kind of attitude and lack of customer service is unacceptable. One employee like this can easily ruin a restaurant's reputation. Sadly, this experience guaranteed I will never return, and I'll be warning others about the poor service here. read more

When this place opened it was amazing. The atmosphere is bright and cheery. Each time we go back, the food isn't as good. It is a shame. The restaurant is suffering because fewer people are coming in and they are cutting staff. The one stable thing is that Jade is terrific and keeps the place going with her service. She remembers your likes, dislikes and allergies every time. Now for the food...I ordered an omelette with goat cheese, spinach and tomato. The tomato was not great and having lots of it did not make it. Better. The spinach was fresh but was not cut up which made it difficult to chew. Overall, the omelette was overcooked and the English muffin was lukewarm. The fruit was the best part of the meal. This used to be our goto breakfast place, but we are now searching for a new place because of all of the disappointments.. read more

Breakfast is my favorite meal so The Good Egg sounded like a great option for me. I arrived at about 12:30 looking for a quick brunch. The restaurant was empty except for me and the staff with was great for me because I was in a hurry. The waitress was fantastic and ready to answer any questions I had. The star of the menu was (of course) egg related foods. I ordered the Santa Barbara omelette (grilled chicken, avocado) and a coffee. The food was ready within 10 min, fresh and hot. I got the fruit as my side which was a delight, with every major melon and berry (including raspberries!) represented. The entire seating area was spotless and well appointed with matching silverware and dishes. The bathrooms were very clean. The ambiance was laid by Latin music which wasn't overly loud. I'll definitely be coming here for lunch ask week! read more

Wow! Sticker shock! Breakfast starts at $15 per plate but honestly you could share it with 2-3 people or kids. Pancakes were huge! Two big ones. They were not my favorite. A little too gummy and the flavor was off. Breakfast burrito was delicious and the waitstaff was super friendly! read more

This place is good, we chose it last min and I was not disappointed. One thing I have to say and the reason I decided to give it a 4 instead of a 5 is that the portions are HUGE and we weren't warned. I wish we would've been told, because we ordered a good amount of food and couldn't finish it all. Otherwise I got the French toast and the side of country potatoes. The size of the side is pretty big so if you're wanting to get them maybe share with someone. The French toast was very good and I'll definitely get that again if I go back. Overall good, it was quite busy when we went so we had a wait a while for a table and after we got a table but if you have time and are hungry definitely give this place a try read more

What a great hidden brunch spot! My son flew into visit for the holidays and we stopped here for brunch after the airport since it was so close.

Breakfast enchiladas: (3/5) Their green sauce, lemme tell you, it had a GOOD KICK like for reals. I was shocked because it's hard to find spicy things at non-Mexican spots. I had to ask for a side of more sour cream to tame the heat. It was also vegetarian but it was missing a protein. Hubby also ordered a side of bacon for us. Even though our food was all ordered at the same time, the bacon came out WAY later and we were half way done with our meal. So the first half of my meal was lacking bc I was missing the bacon. Once we had it, it just brought my dish all together. Drip Coffee (2/5) It tasted burnt. I had to add A LOT of creamer to hide the taste. I get they don't do espressos and things like that, so I would hope that they would do their drip coffee well. Service was okay. The ambiance felt clean and open. read more

Had breakfast here after a concert at Humphrey's on the Bay. The food was very good. I always order chicken fried steak at these type of breakfast venues.

The server had way too many tables for brunch on a Monday morning. read more

We were in the area where I buy my Tea bags and we were looking where to get breakfast nearby and we ended up at GOOD EGG. There are plenty of selections for breakfast, and we had: * ITALIAN JOB OMELETTE - italian sausage , mushroom , black olives , bell pepper , provolone cheese topped with/ marinara * BREAKFAST STACK - 2 eggs , 2 sausage patties , cheddar cheese , avocado , tomato serve in English muffin *GREEK SKILLET - spinach , mushrooms , artichokes , onion Feta * FRENCH ROAST COFFEE At first, we only got the ITALIAN JON OMELETTE but we checked in on Yelp while eating and saw that we got 20% off for our first time dining here, so I ordered another item on their menu to try. The GREEK SKILLET was too bland, I kept adding Salt and Pepper and that just wasn't making it good, so I set it aside and didn't eat it. My BREAKFAST STACK was presented beautifully, but nothing extraordinary in the taste, it was just okay. But my husband's ITALIAN JOB OMELETTE was good and full of Flavors. The service was fast and great, there were a lot of parking spaces around and the food was just okay. read more

Dog friendly on the patio a big plus. Friendly staff another plus. My personal breakfast choice was slightly disappointing but hubby ate here 3 times this past week because he enjoyed it so much. You can order lunch sandwiches at breakfast which is another plus. My eggs benedict had perfectly poached eggs but the hollandaise was a bit bland for my tastes...couldn't even taste the lemon. Another reviewer mentioned that as well. Also the hashbrowns could have been crispier and hotter. Husband's tuna melt was great though and his side of potato salad was addictive. His friend raved about the pancakes from a previous visit this week. A little bizarre is that they serve these great sandwiches but there are no pickles! read more

I love BRUNCH!! NOM NOM NOM!! It always puts a smile on my face. The Good Egg opened in August 2022 and replaced the former Smashburger location.

The food generally tastes great. Unfortunately the service was less than desirable IMO. Some of my food died in the window. Cold over easy eggs on my sandwich is not my jam. Sent it back and it didn't come back out for over 15 min and by that time we had to leave for an appointment after being there over an hour and having 2 other small items we ordered for takeout at the time we made our original order which were now also going to be cold. Through all of this the sever never checked in at our table while my son ate his meal. We needed water and napkins. Ultimately I asked for my order to be removed from our bill, paid the $70 for kids pancakes, a cold side of bacon for my own meal, avocado toast and a breakfast sandwich (both to go). Not a great start to my 4th of July. read more

A Thursday at 11:30am, only 3 parties in the whole place. The music was excellent and the staff incredibly friendly and inviting. The menu is straightforward. They mostly do breakfast but they had a few sandwiches and entrees that could be considered lunch. I'm a breakfast all day girlie, so it was great for me. I ordered the breakfast sliders (3 brioche egg, meat and cheese, I got the sausage) with the country potatoes ( diced russets with peppers and onions). It also came with a slice of watermelon, which was a nice touch. For me, everything was lacking some seasoning. Something other than salt and pepper would have been nice... garlic or smoked paprika would have been excellent. The potatoes could also have been on the griddle a little longer. They needed a little caramelization to bring out some flavor. The brioche was toasted which added some nice texture to the sandwiches. My only recommendation would be to add an option for a single pancake to any of the meals. I really wanted to try them, but not for another $9 and not a small stack! Way too much food. read more

As a chef I had zero complaints. We called in and were told it was a 25 minute wait, however after arriving we were seated after 5 mins. The staff definitely works to flip tables. Food came out pretty quick 10-15 minutes, I can say accurate wait times depending on the dish ordered. It's a small little restaurant but you still get a welcoming feel. The French toast was very rich. I would say the BEST French toast I have ordered from a restaurant. Only 2 TV's. To go pastries available. Servers were great.

Stopped by for some breakfast before I took my flight out of San Diego airport. I ordered the avocado toast and my husband got the pancakes. Avacado toast was 4 small pieces of toast with what almost looked like guacamole and a few sprigs of micro greens. All for the hefty price of $15. Not really that great. I have had so much better. The pancakes were flavorless and dry. They weren't really that great. My husband usually loves pancakes and these were just not that good. The good thing was the server was excellent. She was on top of everything. And the place was clean and nice. Other then that the food..... not so good. read more

This is our 1st time at The Good Egg and I'm honestly still on the fence about it. We were seated quickly, and the resturant itself is clean and quaint. We ordered food quickly and that's where it started to go downhill a little bit. We waiting over 35 minutes for our meal. Nothing extravagant, but when our food did come only 2 members of our party got their meal and we had to wait an additional 10 minutes for the remaining meals. The food was pretty good though, and the pancakes were delicious. Overall I would come here again but hope that the wait time for our food and silverware would be less. read more

The Good Egg - You can't see people on the other side of the wall and the other empty tables have since filled up! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Good location near where we were staying, ample parking. This bright and sunny restaurant opened around 6 months ago, and I certainly hope it succeeds! Service was quick, seating is plentiful. It's much bigger in here than we expected. Perfect for breakfast/brunch. There's even counter seating in front of TVs, and a fresh bakery case with croissants, etc. We ordered: blueberry pancakes with sausage patties and a croissant sandwich with ham and fresh fruit. Serving sizes were large and delicious, and we left thoroughly sated and set up for a day of adventuring. The ladies' restroom is the most thoughtful restaurant restroom I've been in. It's decorated with positive art, has nice hand soap (not the standard wall pump), and the best part-- something I've never seen before but think it speaks volumes to how much the owner "gets" us womenfolk-- little pink sanitary bags to wrap used pads/tampons before placing in the plastic bag-lined receptacle. Such a nice touch! read more

The owners of Oggi's Sports | Brewhouse | Pizza in Point Loma have opened The Good Egg in the suite where a Smashburger used to be located. Both were in the same plaza across the street from Liberty Military Housing. The inside dining area was clean and spacious while two tables were available right outside the front entrance if you wanted to sit under the sun as there was no shade or overhead canopy. The three-page menu featured the standard breakfast and lunch items for a brunch spot. From the list of seven omelettes, The Bird was my pick with hash browns as the chosen side. Shredded chicken, mushroom, tomato, cheddar cheese, and avocado were the fillings. The portion size and quality of the food were decent for the price. Because I sat at the counter near the register, the service was prompt as the waitstaff was hanging out in that area in between watching their tables. While the menu may not be as expansive as some of the local breakfast chains, it's a solid option for a morning or early afternoon meal for residents in that neighborhood. read more

Fair but not good enough to either go back or recommend. I had coffee and a Greek omelet. Eggs were folded over holding some vegetables that could have been classified as most anything else.
