Potato Shack Cafe - Encinitas

Enjoyed an outdoor breakfast with my sister, brother-in-law, and their three dogs. The restaurant immediately brought a bowl of water with ice for the dogs, and then they took care of us!

My new favorite breakfast place! We split a cinnamon pancake (which is HUGE) and a 3 egg scramble. Both were excellent, hot, and quick. Nice seating options in or out. Note they do not take credit cards. We will return!

This is the home of the world's largest pancakes: The Manhole Cover! Great all round breakfast joint with surfer vibe and for souvenirs. Dave@Texas

Quaint and yet modern cafe with well-balanced menu of old breakfast favorites and coffee served with a smile The wooden tables and craftsmanship of the walls and interior are a reminiscent of a log cabin or small mountain-top retreat.

Server was awesome, atmosphere quirky and appropriate to Encinitas. Portions were generous but not to our liking. Sister in law left her omelet and potatoes largely untouched neither of us cared for the texture or flavor of the home fries. Chicken fried steak was passable and fried potatoes patties tasty but the sourdough bread was meh and the salsa side tasted as though from a jar. Sausage gravy had chunks of sausage link instead of ground sausage which is the usual offering. Wife and I both had stomach discomfort about 4 hours later not recommended and we won't be back.
