It's always a joy to visit this quaint quirky neighborhood spot. Food and banter are always spot on. Highly recommend their homemade marmalade and other jams. We like to sit at the bar so we can chat with the folks behind the counter and the conversation is always delightful.

Great old school spot with amazing milk shakes as well as the food! Hot open face sandwiches are my favorite. Great service from sweet people who feel like family

Chicken fried steak with gravy.
Matthew S.

Finally a simple diner. The feller serving folks at the counter was very kind and had a welcoming sense of humor. Also kind of looked like the actor Gary Busey a bit. The food was simple diner fare, no frills but when you're hungry and just want a meal with no fuss this is a great option. The chicken fried steak was a little tough and chewy but it was a decent sized piece of meat. The diner itself gives you that hometown feel with fridge magnets and tin wall art. A nice change from a lot of places that try too hard to make an identity for themselves. All in all I would recommend this place for sure. Only change I would make is adding biscuits and gravy to the menu (I didn't see any?). I would say add grits but they probably aint eat that around here.

This mom and pop place was fantastic. You can tell people come here on a weekly basis. My steak, potatoes, eggs, and toasts with strawberry rhubarb game were delicious. My steak could have been a tiny bit more rare but I still enjoyed it. Bob, one of the owners, was a hoot. He is such a people person. He chatted it up with everyone. It was seriously a wonderful experience. I can't wait to come here to have another steak. Let's be real. I'm coming back for Bob. Lol. I recommend this place when you are in Mission Hills in San Diego County. Fun and yum!

They made me feel extra special on my birthday!

I lived in San Diego from 1996 to 2006 and never stepped in this place until June 17th, which was my birthday. I was greeted by a nice man named Corey and I believe the grill lady's name was Janet (I might be wrong on that). I was told what the daily special was and given a menu and a cup of coffee. It's a small cafe with counter seating and several tables. Very old school just the way I like. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, Scrambled Eggs and toast. While talking with Corey, he asked if I'd been there before and I said no and that I was in town to celebrate my birthday. Well, then the Red Carpet was rolled out. I received a birthday counter mat and a delicious homemade Red Velvet cupcake. You have a good feeling being there and everyone was friendly. One of the things I miss about living in SD. I recommend folks to try this little gem in Mission Hills. They'll make you feel welcome!!

Cute diner

With a reservation, we were seated almost immediately. The inside was cozy, dim lit, and intimate…read morewhile still inviting. I appreciated the live music, though it did make conversation a bit difficult to hear. The drinks were sweet and strong! I recommend the Tangled Up in Blue The macaroni and cheese was the best appetizer. The wagyu tartare is actually quite spicy, and although tasty, we could not finish it because of the burn. The entrees were hot and cooked exactly as asked. You seriously get a bang for your buck with the portion size of the chicken parm! I also got some random corn surprises in my dish - I don't mind, but just something to be aware of in case you are allergic. I'm definitely coming back.

This place gives neighborhood gem vibes even though it's pretty central and right next to Balboa…read more It's also a pretty large space. They have a smaller outdoor patio but a very large space indoors. We came right at 5 on a Wed and it wasn't too busy then but by the time we left at 7 it was packed. All night happy hour on Wednesday too! Their happy hour menu is slightly discounted (~$2-5) items from their main menu. We got some drinks, the chicken bao, brussel sprouts and charred broccoli. Broccoli was not on hh. For my drink I got the Grenache that was on hh. Unfortunately it was served super warm. It was a hot day but you'd think they'd put it somewhere cooler so it didn't get like that. I wouldn't get wine there again. For food the bao bun had a good variety of components. My only knock on it was that the chicken piece was tiny. That being said, it was well cooked and super crunchy texture which I loved. Brussel sprouts were delicious and crispy. The peanut sauce they use on it is perfect. The broccoli was decent. It ate much sweeter than I thought it would and the sauce made the labneh a little runny so it didn't stick to the broccoli well. Service was sooo friendly and very quick the whole night but we never felt rushed. I would definitely come back and try more.

It's got the decor, chairs, and art to match. Jessica was our server and she was amazing! She gave us lots of suggestions on what to try and what is on the menu since it was my first time here. She recommended the bloody Mary flight so did grab that to try! We also ordered the biscuits and gravy to share and orange juice. The portions are so large! So I am glad we decided to share the biscuits and gravy but let me run down each thing. Bloody Mary Flight: Honestly every single one was amazing. My favorite was definitely the pickle Mary! Everything tasted so delicious and was garnished beautifully. Well worth the 22 dollars. Biscuits and Gravy: Absolute perfection of comfort food. The biscuits were so fluffy and well seasoned. The gravy was also soooo good, just like my mom makes. The sausage in it was also cooked so well and juicy. I've never tried mashed potatoes with the biscuits and gravy but it worked very well! Orange Juice: Not a fan really, not pulpy enough and I wasn't a fan of the flavor. Overall this is definitely a must visit! I will definitely be back.

Hash House was such a great place to have brunch at! There was no line for a party of 6 on a Sunday…read morearound 1pm, and we were seated right away. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The food was amazing! In particular, I enjoyed the fried chicken and waffle tower and their roasted chicken hash. I was surprised they didn't include a side of butter along with their biscuits, but I'll probably just ask for it next time. One important thing to note is that their dishes are HUGE. All 6 of us had our own dishes, but I would highly highly recommend ordering a couple dishes and sharing it family style if you're dining with a group. One note I did have about Hash House is how overstimulating the menu is lol. The menu had a lot of clashing fonts, colors, and clip art images, it made it hard to digest the menu. I didn't even notice some menu offerings because of how busy the menu was. Also, our waitress did initially charge us for 6 coffees, even though we only had 3. It was a good thing we caught that error on the receipt before paying. Overall, the food at Hash House is definitely worth coming back for.

This visit ended up being way more fun than we expected…read more A friend is staying with me for Comic-Con this week, so we came here to grab a couple beers and catch up. As if that wasn't enough, we walked in and realized it was trivia night, which immediately made the evening even better. While looking through the menu, I spotted a salmon bowl. I'm still pretty new to seafood and have recently discovered that I'm actually a big fan of raw salmon, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to branch out. Well... surprise! For some reason I had convinced myself it was going to be a poke-style bowl with raw salmon, avocado, cucumbers, and all the usual toppings. Instead, it came out with cooked salmon. Even though it wasn't what I expected, the bowl was actually delicious. The funny part is I learned something about myself... I definitely prefer raw salmon over cooked salmon. Not a bad discovery to make over a good meal! The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming, trivia kept the energy up all night, and the service was friendly from start to finish. Great place to grab a drink, catch up with friends, and maybe even learn something new about your own taste buds.

Thank goodness there was room too, because wow oh wow. It has been three weeks and we keep talking about that happy hour. LOL I appreciated that their happy hour menu wasn't all snackable appetizers; there were smaller-sized dishes for those less hungry, too! I ordered the Kiwilango slider + fries, my mom got the HH fish & chips, and my dad got the wagyu smash slider. Plus $10 beers, of course. Everything came out quickly and beautifully portioned, which made getting dessert (magpie ice cream cake) a no brainer. Delicious!!! I didn't stray into their full Kiwi-based dinner menu, but I can fully vouch for their happy hour, the cozy, charming vibes, kind and attentive servers, and flavorful dishes.

They have protein pancakes that are low calorie and gluten-free. And, they taste pretty good. Not as good as their regular pancakes, but, good enough to satisfy my pancake craving. I have breakfast there one or two times a month. I always have the same thing - protein pancakes and decaf coffee. And, the portion is so huge that I take most of it home and have the pancakes for breakfast the next several days. Enough about the pancakes. Let's talk about the service, which is what compelled me to write this review. A few months ago I sat down and my server, Erick, came up to my table and said, "Protein pancakes and decaf?" I was blown away! He remembered me and my order. I am not that regular a guest. He is just that amazing. And, it doesn't stop there. A few minutes after delivering my food, he brought a to-go box, because he knew I always take most of my meal with me, and I'm always in a hurry. That's not great service - that's extraordinary service! At one to two times a month, Erick makes me feel like a 5 day a week regular. I wish I could give Breakfast Republic 14 stars; 5 for having protein pancakes, 4 for their taste and 5 for the extraordinary service.
