Pork sliders are truly to die for. Happy hour 4-6pm has great deals like 3 pork sliders for $8. Great drinks although I do wish they had a bit more on tap like Cali creamin. Lots of TVs and very happy waiters and tenders. Davis was a goat, very quick and easy to talk to. Went on a Monday night for the College football championship and it was not too busy at all. They also had this epic Pokemon dispenser that’s $.75 and my friend got a card with $15! This place is an absolute charm with great food drinks and atmosphere all for a very reasonable price. I plan to make this a staple anytime I’m in north county.

First time patrons tonight. My son and I were greeted by the super sweet Monique. Food was tasty and the ambience was chill. This place has a killer vibe! The booths and tables are from Kenos! Great way to preserve Encinitas history. The band had stopped playing before we arrived but we were able to catch the Magneito light Sabre show.

The atmosphere and vibes in here are awesome, the only thing it’s missing is some more flavor in their food. The food wasn’t bad but the loco moco was just bland and missing something. The blackened mahi was pretty tasty but the kimchi and the pineapple coleslaw and the Mac salad was also just lacking in flavor. I got an iced London fog latte and it was pretty watered down. Good portions though. Also there were a lot of orders getting messed up, wrong things being brought to wrong people, everyone seemed pretty confused what was goin on but would still come back in the future for the vibes alone and hope they improved the food. Edit: I would appreciate that and look forward to giving it another try.

Our first time trying Breakers. We ordered the ahi katsu plate lunch and ahi poke. Great local vibe and delicious food!

★★★★★ 5.0 Connor McMorrow · Aug 2025

Breakers feels like stepping straight onto Kauai - from the laid-back energy to the awesome tiki-style bar, the vibes are absolutely immaculate. Live music was playing in the back and set the perfect tone for a chill, island-inspired meal. We had the teriyaki chicken plate with rice, mac, and pineapple coleslaw, the blackened mahi sandwich, and the spam musubi - and every single bite hit the mark. The guava mama cocktail was delicious as well! It’s rare to find a spot that nails the food and the atmosphere like this. Stoked to make this a regular hangout.
