Brians' American Eatery, San Diego, California Restaurant Details

Food:

Note: CLOSED spring of 2012. Keep in mind, this is basically an american diner, not a gourmet eatery. They provide large portions of really good food. Usually there is so much, we take some home...and the one time we wanted the appetizer & dessert, that's all we ordered. We have eaten there many times over the last 5 years, at all times of day - primarily lunches. The place is usually packed, so expect a wait unless you want to sit at the counter - then just skip the line. Sometimes the wait can seem a little long, but you rarely see the staff standing still. I'm amazed at how they get around. Some of my favorites are the Honey Stung Chicken, chicken fried steak, burgers of many kinds, my wife loves the tuna melt, and Nachos Brain is a meal in itself. (I'm not a huge breakfast person, but the pancakes are good). I should note, their gravy is ok IMHO. Not bad per se, I've had worse, but I like sauces, and their gravy (some better than others) just does not hit the mark if it's a main component...say like biscuits and gravy. Others thought it was good.

Food:

family favorite--great if you love breakfast (especially eggs) as much as i do!

Nice place, good, generously portioned food and "family" friendly.

Giant plates of mediocre food keeps packing them in. I won't eat here unless its 2 am.
