Came here on a whim hoping for brunch but it was already like 5 mins before 3pm so had to stick with lunch. Nonetheless, our food and drinks was so good. Fiona helped us from start to finish and was just an absolute sweetheart to my mom and I. She asked for our names & how our day was. We ordered steak tacos & breakfast burrito & 2 alcoholic beverages. Steak tacos & burrito--my mom enjoyed her tacos and meat was cooked tender to her liking. shes not a fan of onions & enjoyed the dish very much since there wasnt any in the tacos. my burrito was perfectly made not extremely greasy either & yet full of flavor. potatoes crispy on the inside & they were able to give me a side of sour cream. Drinks- not sure how much alcohol may have been in mine or if any at ALL but regardless it tasted like a tropical vacation in a glass. the whipped cream was a perfect addition. mom got a tiramisu martini and that was SO good i almost wanted hers instead of mine! perfect for brunch if you want a strong coffee lol atmosphere- bar setting but still plenty of seats/tables & of course your bar area. great personalities all around id definitely come back here! read more

We had so much fun at brunch today! Our waitress (I think her name was Jessie?) was so friendly and upbeat. She asked for our names which was a nice touch. We had the biscuits & gravy, the pork belly Benedict and the Oreo cookie cakes. Everything was sooo delicious. My bf also likes the Bloody Marys. There was a DJ playing upbeat music, I was loving it! It was fun singing and dancing in my seat while eating. The overall vibe was really fun but not too over the top. I liked the casual decor throughout the restaurant. It's casual and makes you feel right at home. Pro tip - make a reservation for brunch, if you can! We did and were seated quickly. We can't wait to come back here! read more

Well, first of all, this is a very cool spot and I kind of got caught in between brunch and lunch so I didn't eat as much as I normally would. But the one word that describes this place is service and Ruby. Every single person had a huge smile on their face and couldn't wait to help. You just don't find that very often, but I found it in the last 24 hours in the gas lamp it quite a few places. The menu here has something for everyone Plus great Beers and a really nice mimosa. I'll be back as soon as I can because I got a ticket for a free mimosa. Thank you, Ruby and Amber. I think also helped love them all. read more

We stoped by here for breakfast. Our waiter Brock was great giving us recommendations on what to check out while we are in the area and worked with my wife to help her find something she could eat on the menu with her allergies. The service and staff was one of the best expernaces we've had anywhere. I git the chicken and biscuits. The food was solid but the gravy and the chicken were both cold, which was a bit of a bummer. This is deffently a spot I would check out again. read more

I've been here twice now, and both visits were before a Padres day game for brunch. Both times the food was absolutely phenomenal. My first visit I ordered the sausage and gravy, and the second time I went with the Cali burrito. They were completely different dishes, but both were fantastic and packed with flavor. The service is what really sets this place apart, though. On both visits our servers were attentive, friendly, and always one step ahead. I especially love that they actually ask for your name and then remember it throughout your meal. It's such a small touch, but it makes you feel genuinely welcome and says a lot about the quality of people they have working there. And I have to mention the tiramisu martini because I ordered it both times and it did not disappoint. It's the perfect brunch cocktail. This has quickly become one of my favorite pre Padres game spots, and I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Had such a great experience at Werewolf! The food was so good! We had the breakfast burrito, chicken inna biscuit, steak scramble, and the cinnamon roll cakes, and everything was flavorful, fresh, and delicious. The drinks were just as amazing. I had the Blossom Something and the Juicy K, and both were great recommendations from the hostess Jazzy who was also wonderful and made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. Our waitress Fiona was amazing and provided excellent customer service throughout our visit. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed.

This place is awesome for brunch. Vibe is lit. Drinks are good. Food is good. And it doesn't break the bank. They have a dj during brunch and the music was good. Food was good. Those breakfast balls were EVERYTHING! The bourbon burger was good too! Taylor is a ROCKSTAR and definitely needs a raise and a promotion! He was the dj, the bartender, the waiter, the runner.... I mean he did it all.. and with a smile. This place is definitely the bomb brunch spot and I will definitely be back. The only reason I took a star is because they were understaffed so the food sat for a bit. Other than that, this place is it!, read more

The restaurant was half fall when we first got there but completely full including bar seats by the time we left.

Wonderful experience overall. read more

I absolutely love this place. The customer service is amazing. I ordered the cinnamon roll pancakes and it was so big and so fulfilling and tasted so great. The mimosas are also very tasteful. If you're interested in a Mexican style breakfast and American breakfast, this would be the place to go to. The blueberry lemon pancakes are refreshing and the Oreo pancakes are a little too much to chocolate my friends enjoyed the California burrito, but said it needed a little bit more flavor. And my other friend enjoyed the steak and egg breakfast. Oh yeah, on the weekends they have a live Deejay, which is great. This is a nice restaurant, with indoor and outdoor seating read more

If you're looking to go to brunch but don't want to succumb to a overly fried or sugary brunch option, the steak scramble at Werewolf is a solid choice! Tortilla is folded up on the side in case you want to skip the extra carbs. Sauce on the scramble is really tasty. Potatoes are perfect. Little bits of corn are a nice surprise! I also tried La Mariposa and it is perfectly floral and light. 100/10. Jasmine was a super friendly waitress and so attentive. Ambiance is a lively and fun--the perfect spot to start an afternoon pregame or have brunch in the morning. read more

On a Wednesday evening, we stopped by Werewolf for dinner. While I'm a vampire, I was willing to make an exception to check out this highly-rated bar. Located in Gaslamp, street parking is your best bet. For most spots, you have to pay metered parking until 10 p.m. I was able to find an exception to the rule around 8:30 p.m. Ambiance (3/5): Werewolf is a pretty laid back bar. Which is right up my alley. This happened to be karaoke night. This may be an unpopular option but I'm not a fan of karaoke. If you are, you're golden. I would've enjoyed the ambiance a bit better on a standard night. We sat at a wooden booth in the back of the restaurant. Service (3/5): You order at the bar (both food and drinks). They were fairly busy on a Wednesday and only two bartenders were working. As a result, service was a bit slow. After placing my order, I closed out. Their cocktail list doesn't list prices. Not a fan of that. I asked the bartender how much some particular cocktails cost, and he didn't go. Not a good look. Drinks (4/5): Werewolf has an interesting list of craft cocktails. Plus a full bar. Just list your cocktail prices on the menu! Food (4.5/5): The food is surprisingly quite good. I went with the wings appetizer (and made them sticky for a dollar extra). Sweet with a little kick. The wings were fried just right with a crispy exterior and juicy inside. Finger-lickin' good! I also couldn't say no to papas balls lol. This appetizer is their version of hushpuppies. Taken to a higher level. Stuffed with mashed tater, bacon, cilantro, cotija, and drizzled with house sauce. Normally, papas balls would scare me, but these are scrumptious. The two appetizers combined were filling for a full meal. read more

Chose this spot for breakfast because I assumed it was a cool, interesting restaurant due to it's name. I was completely surprised to realize that it was more a sports bar than anything. There's a decent amount of seating and the walls are plastered with random prints and posters. There's at least six TVs. The spacing of the seating is kind of weird and the bar takes up about half the restaurant. It was half full when I got there with two bartenders and one server. I sat at the bar assuming I would get quicker service, which was not true. I ordered a coffee and a blue plate, which was basically cheesy chive scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, and a biscuit. The original plate comes with bacon but I subbed it for avocado. The food came out warm (not hot), but I was hungry so I didn't say anything. The eggs, although delicious, were not made with chives, but rather with green onion. The biscuit was dry and came with a pat of butter and some packaged jam. The breakfast potatoes were crispy and well seasoned, however, most of them were burnt or just the scraps at the bottom of the fry basket. Disappointing. The one good thing about this place (other than the friendly staff), is that it might be the cheapest breakfast you can get in Gaslamp. I would say this place is more of a hangover restaurant/bar for people to come to after a Padres game. read more

I do not see the wins here. A. Service is horrible. Our server had no clue on certain items on the menu. She forgot an item extra fee for house salsa (tiny cup) no less which she got later. She gave us a cranberry spritizer when a person asked for cranberry juice. I had the short stack with eggs, and chives. Ditched the cheesy part. For San Diego and California they didn't offer egg whites. That makes no sense. Almond milk? Nope Oat. She offered to heat it. Nice that would be cool. Showed up coled. The short stack,, well the pancakes were solid as in a frisbee and downright awful. Inedible would have made more sense Pricing could have been better. The place is tiny And the vibe wasn't cool or hip. Just blah, like the food itself read more

Came here for brunch after a morning at the swap meet! It was a hot day and I really appreciated how cool it was in here despite the front all being open. Much needed cool down for me. This place was packed and the reviews were really good so I came in with high expectations. All staff I interacted with was super nice and friendly! We got biscuits and gravy (no egg), country fried steak, and breakfast balls. The breakfast balls were amazing, little fried balls of mashed potato seasoned so well with bacon and gravy. It was sooooo good. I may end up just getting that for breakfast next time. The biscuits and gravy were just like my mom makes. Good country gravy with a nice soft but crispy biscuit. The potatos were not that good imo, they needed a longer cook but they tasted decent. The country fried steak was cooked and seasoned amazingly, and were the eggs. I will be back!! read more

Werewolf - Pork belly benedict and chilaquiles. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Visiting for work, and I was looking for something different and interesting to try. It had been years since I have been down to the gas lamp area so part of the allure besides the name was the location. It is the quintessential college town, bar area, downtown (city) collection of people. Some homeless people (not too many) really add to the grunge essence, with the streets providing the fairly grimey feel. Werewolf had quite the vibe for 4pm on a Monday, good music, young adults chatting about some food, the music, and everyday life. One young man was journaling, memorializing his thoughts. BOOM, there's Fiona, a friendly face, interactive, formal intro (she did this with each patron), and it gives you a welcoming feeling. She is attentive, and patient as you navigate the menu. Menu had strong suggestions, happy hour had 50% off appetizers, and prices were very fair. I ordered the Beets/ Brussels/ and Blue salad. It stated it had golden beets which you don't see on many menus and unfortunately is the reason I am giving a 4 for this location, there was not one golden beet in my salad, in fact, there wasn't even one beet. Blue cheese crumble was minimum, and the Brussels were pan fried, to the edge. I also ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich. This was good, the chicken thankfully slathered in Franks red hot was trying to hide the "blackened" fried chicken. Just on the edge but it was still enjoyable. The star of the food... was the fries. Crisp, hot, lightly salted, and retained the heat and crispiness through me eating the whole sandwich. I am eating healthier today and wasn't planning on any fries, but I did enjoy a few. I would bet anything fry orientated here had to be a winner. Garlic fries, etc. I did buy a t-shirt for my wife, selection was minimal compared to the online store, but seriously, point of sale is where it's at for your merchandise. Set up a swag area, and stock it. read more

Came on a Sunday morning for brunch and surprisingly it wasn't crowded at all. First we sat at the bar but noticed a table in the back that opened up and the waitress was kind enough to let us switch tables. Service was super nice and great vibes. Restaurant looks a lil small and almost like a dive bar in a way. Tried their espresso martini and it was super good. I usually don't drink because I hate the taste of alcohol but this drink hid the taste very well and it was nice and sweet. We tried the breakfast ball hush puppies as appetizers and wow it's filling! I love their flavor in the country gravy!! Soo good. My bf ordered their country fried steak and eggs and loved it. I ordered their steak and egg breakfast bowl thing that was kinda like a deconstructed burrito lol my dish was more on the dry side sadly so I kinda just ate from my bf's plate more haha read more

Werewolf has great food and a great atmosphere! We walked over to grab some lunch, and it was pretty quiet. Not sure if it's normally like that on the weekend during lunch or if it's because the streets were closed for the annual pet parade that was happening. We entered the restaurant to some awesome music by an awesome DJ! There's a bar that takes up half the restaurant and eclectic decor all over. We ended up ordered off the brunch menu as there was so much good stuff on there! We ordered: Country fried steak Chicken Hash California Burrito Oreo Cookie Cakes The prices here were fair and the food was good! We all liked what we ordered! I especially liked the Oreo Cookie Cakes (pancakes), it even came garnished with a deep fried Oreo! Our server was really fun and told us when the pet parade was going by so we could go outside and watch it. She also handed us permanent markers before we left so we could write on the walls. She even invited us back for karaoke happening later in the evening. (We didn't make it) If you're ever in the Gaslamp Quarter, Werewolf is worth a visit!! read more

Finally after months and months of eyeing this place, I brought some friends over and we had an incredible dinner. It's a cozy bar with decent seating indoors and at the bar itself. The staff is amazingly friendly and welcoming, open to sharing recommendations. Shoutout to Taylor for making our night special! I ordered the Chicken Red Hot Sandwich sand bacon and I ate the whole plate. Left no fry or piece behind. The whole night we kept talking about how we were all ready to come back and try more items, as well as their brunch, and their karaoke nights. This place is definitely worth all the hype and that gut feel I got when I first saw it months ago. Great quality, flavor, and atmosphere. Even when it got crowded, it didn't feel overwhelming or obnoxiously loud. Looking forward to our next night out here. read more

Was greeted by a fantastic server who I think is the bartender. Friendly without being pushy, had no issue with us stopping by to just eat something after we had had a really disappointing experience at another restaurant. Gave us options but never pressured us and was all around fantastic. It was a little loud but I'm a little older so that's probably on me. Overall definitely recommend this place. read more

She could be gone a day, and I'd miss her. Three was harrowing! Plus, she brought the sun back into my soul (also literally...skies cleared nicely yesterday). I digress. Love does that. What other way to welcome my baby back than a funky brunch?! Say no more, because Werewolf is the spot! From the Disco Balls (yes, plural) hanging from the rafters to the stickers all over the booths, this place screams "Get your sexy booty in here & eat, NOW!" Oh, did I mention there is a Brunch DJ?! (this is about as San Diego as a sentence gets) Spinning the 90s hip hop jams so hard, I thought Snoop would roll in & roll one! I recommend reservations, as it gets packed fast! Or you can spin the Wheel of Fate & look for an empty stool at the bar. WHEEEE! In our case, we got there 1/2 hr early (Waze did too good of a job). They offered us a seat at the bar while a booth was readied early for us. Expeditiously done, I could but only sip my tasty espresso martini before we were seated. My baby went with the Mariposa (beautiful butterfly for a beautiful butterfly). We sampled each other's and both delicious! Our bartender showed some love w/ a slightly generous pour. Oh, San Diego brunches, never change! Our server recommendation of adding the pork belly to my chilaquiles rojos was nothing short of genius! I believe a tear ran down my eye as the plate was brought over. Oh, artery clogging joy of joys, get in my belly!!! The queen shall have the Buffalo Chicken Salad. A diabolically dichotomous pairing if there ever has been. Greens? Check. *checks notes* Fried...chicken?! Sure. Why not?! The bleu cheese aioli with buffalo drizzle was fo shizzle! On our way out, we were advised of Karaoke Nights. Wait, what?! Oh, we shall be back, baby! TL:DR - Get your side of pork belly, because life is too short to spend it with the wrong people!

Whether it's weekend brunch or evening karaoke night, werewolf is the place to go!! I've been at night one time and had a lovely time, it's a small, reasonably crowded bar but the energy from karaoke is electric. During the day they have the most delicious (and VERY reasonably priced) brunch!! While it's not bottomless, you get an entire bottle of champagne for like $15, which comes with a couple juices from their LONG list of options. Some are more standard juice, while some like the passion fruit are much more like a syrup. Either way, tastes great in champagne!! The food is unbelievably good for a small dive-bar-looking spot. The breakfast burrito was great, but my favorite thing on the menu is definitely the Pork Belly Benedict. 3 poached eggs with generous pork belly slices on top of crispy potato pancakes instead of biscuits, a huge upgrade to the traditional eggs benedict! Service is always very good, the servers have a very fun, high energy vibe and check in often. We recently went around halloween and they were all dressed up and seemed like they were having a blast. Can't wait for my next Saturday brunch at Werewolf!! read more

Found a new go-to in gaslamp! We loved our experience here-- from the disco-y dive bar vibes to the food & drinks, we loved it all! I knew they were popular for their breakfast, but we came around 4:30pm on a Sunday eve for some snacks. The nugs were delicious with the bbq sauce and the dojo sauce, I believe both were house made and had such a good flavor! The elote dip was really good too. Recommend both of those as well as their drink the congressional! If you like old fashioneds, would absolutely order one. A great balance of spirits, sweetness & the flavor of pork belly in between sips is such a delicious touch. Our servers were so nice & attentive even though they were busy. We were able to bring our small dog to hangout inside too :) We'll definitely be back! read more

All the food was good my only complaint was that it t was all at room temp. Maybe it was just my expectation. The chicken hash seemed like it was a bunch of potatoes with a fried egg on top.

We were in the Gaslamp district for a fun evening, and the name alone was matching this evening's expectations - which is evident from our outdoor and inside pics. Our waitress made a point of remembering our names and was very attentive. Her suggestions were quite good. We read about the Werewolf Nugs and weren't disappointed. Even though these nuggets of dark meat were deep fried, they were super moist inside. As you can see in my pic, they provided 3 sauces: a mayo based, cool sauce, a spicy BBQ sauce and a spicy/sweet sauce. All quite good. My pic doesn't do justice to the Waterfront Sliders. Basically, mini cheeseburgers. Albeit a bit salty, the mini hamburger patty was generous for a slider and cooked enough, yet remained very juicy. Since I like the taste of beef, I didn't use their house sauce, but really liked the burger. read more

Aooooooooooooohhh! This is such a cool werewolf themed bar! Who knew that werewolves liked karaoke? They get super into it ever evening after happy hour. Speaking of happy hour- super great prices on werewolf blonde beer and a Mexican Werelobo (werewolf in Spanish) beer. Cheap-o apps abound! The server didn't look like she was a werewolf, but you never know. She brought drinks quickly and made fun banter with the customers. There was free popcorn that's spiced with Tabasco sauce. The decor was all werewolf themed. I love a theme bar. This is one of the bars that open early, early, and serves food as well. They paid homage to nearly every werewolf I could think of in posters, paintings, artwork, all werewolf themed. If you moon the bar from the street, will things go down?
