Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Lake Jennings

"For good cheap eats in San Diego, head over to one of the Crack Shack’s two locations—the main one in Little Italy, or the second spot in Encinitas. Both are egg-and-chicken-themed festive lunch spots serving chef Richard Blais’s inventive and affordable dishes like the senor croque sandwich, a fried chicken with pickled fresno chiles on brioche; and Mexican poutine, featuring schmaltz fries, pollo asado, and jalapeño cheese wiz. This is a casual indoor-outdoor eatery, and you can sit by the heater if you get chilly."

"They pride themselves on having a five-star chef in control, meaning that everything on the menu has free-range organic chicken that is juicy and perfectly marinated. Other side servings include Schmaltz fries, mini biscuits, and deviled eggs. When you are able, you can spend some time playing a game of bocce ball or perch at the bar for craft beer."

"At last, the undisputed king of Instagrammable restaurants in San Diego!. Zagat said it better than I can:. “An all-day menu of chicken- and egg-based dishes – including fried chicken, chicken sandwiches and deviled eggs (plus a full bar) – are served at this corrugated metal–clad Little Italy counter by the team behind Juniper & Ivy."

"True to its name, this local chain with locations in Liberty Station, East Village, Encinitas, Ocean Beach, and North Park serves up a mean breakfast.

Owner Johan Engman (who also owns and operates three Fig Tree Café outposts) is looking to expand his breakfast brand even further with the debut of North Park Breakfast Co. this summer."
