This place is stunning. Ryan the owner clearly cares about delivering a great experience.
I’ve been to many restaurants and bars in downtown San Diego. This is one of the best. I had a delicious brunch here. Easily one of the best. When in downtown, check it out.

Went for a brunch date on a Saturday morning, and there was no wait at around 10 am. The crowd started picking up around 11. Highly recommend giving this place a try for brunch; the portions are enormous! I ordered the Super Special, and the waffle with Nutella and banana was AMAZING. Their huevos rancheros were also fantastic. The only downside is parking; you might have to search for a while.

Was a little confused at first, as the building was labeled The Wiskey House. Its not a mistake. Brunch was excellent - we both had the special. I got mine with double chorizo, which was absolutely fantastic. For my pancake, i chose the cinnamon roll pancake, which lived up to its name!
Didnt partake, but if you want to have access to a large selection of whiskey, this looked like a place to go. Wall to wall shelves of bottles, including the hallway back to the restrooms. Very nice, relaxed interior, too.

I had the Gluten free cinnamon roll pancakes and they were so good I didn't even use syrup. The best gluten free pancakes I've ever had. My bf said his California burrito was also very good. I also got a blackberry bellini and I would recommend that as well.

Great choice of breakfast for everyone! Trio the Pancakes were very good and more than enough for 1 person. The egg bacon sandwich with country potatoes was also delicious. You can‘t do anything wrong by trying this cute restaurant.
Please note that the restaurant is located at the whiskey bar next to the store with the name „Lazy Hippo“ on it so don‘t get confused because they own both stores.

It's open! It's the same spot as the Whiskey House! I know it's a bit confusing just go with it. The store fronts are right next from each other.
First time here, super excited after seeing the reviews. The vegan menu is a bit small 3 items but the vegan enchiladas with soyrizo (+$2) is delicious! It's topped with fresh avocado, pick de Gallo and shredded lettuce. Put a few dabs of Cholula hot sauce and it's perfection. I cleared that plate so quick. I love vegetables on everything I eat, even if it's a side dish. I really liked the avocados on top and the shredded lettuce it added a fresh crisp crunch to the soft enchiladas. The soyrizo added that extra flavor. I would order that again. Might try the vegan breakfast burrito next.
Indoor and outdoor seating available. It's inside the whiskey house so there is a bar and comfy couch seating area. Inside is very dark and chill. Loved the music it was on point that morning.
Service, was good. A bit slow when it comes to the check. But they kept checking in on us and made sure we got everything we needed. Hostess was super accommodating we moved 3 times since it was cold. Will be back!
Parking is paid metered street parking.

Had a brunch date one Saturday weekend and there wasn't any wait at around 10am. Crowd started coming in around 11. Highly recommend trying this place out for brunch. Huge portions! I ordered the Super Special and the waffle with nutella & banana was AMAZING. Their huevos rancheros was bomb too. Downside is parking - might have to look for a while.

We showed up 10 minutes after opening on a Saturday and got a table immediately. Staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was spectacular. We got the Cinnamon Roll pancakes and they were amazing!!! We also got the huevos rancheros and it was a healthy portion. We will definitely be recommending this place to everyone, it’s worth the hype!
