Well, I just moved here and am home-employed. So that leaves me time for breakfast out every day. And I've been visiting all the local breakfast places in Carlsbad and So. Oceanside. Some are really outstanding.....too bad I can't really add Don's to that list. The place is small and cramped. Plan to do your restroom business at home. There is outside seating...but on cloudy, colder days, it's not a pleasant alternative, and outside seating is right on a busy street. So, the menu is varied. I saw a patron eating their steak offering. I passed. They have an eggs Benedict, but it's the ordinary kind. And French toast....also the usual type. I did see lots of people eating their specialty which they said was biscuit and gravy. I finally chose sausage and eggs. It was good. I like the donut shop next door. Good fresh donuts. Parking was OK. Staff was friendly. I give it 2 and a half stars. There are some 4 and 5 star places in the area. I understand they own other restaurants. Sometimes it's difficult to keep overall quality up when you're spread so thin.
