The Brig Restaurant

Ambiance is old school coastal restaurant. You can see a movie being filmed here. Felt great taking a step back and checking out from the hustle. Love the menu & homemade desserts. Laidback 60s & 90s pop music was also really nice. I enjoyed this place very much. This should be a popular girls mimosa spot! I could see it being good for a night spot as well for mixers.THE BREAD PUDDING IS INSANELY GOOD

We arrived at 10AM Sunday morning to meet friends for breakfast and surprisingly got seated immediately.Our friends arrived in short order and we sat and got caught up with each other over coffee with no rush whatsoever from the restaurant staff. After a lengthy visit we ordered our mealsThe breakfast items were quite tasteful, plentiful and served in a reasonable amount of time and the coffee cups stayed full.The Brig has been here for many years and it's a shame the harbor "Renovation" will change this Dana Point classic eatery.

Literally the BEST food, drinks and service every time we come!! Brought out of town family today, who completely agreed! Best ham cheese and egg croissant, omelettes, huge amount of the best flavored fresh fruit, even the coffee just tastes better than anywhere! We love this place. Side note don't forget the chocolate brittle at check out- it's SO good, especially with vanilla ice cream at home! Love this place so much. Thanks guys!!

Met a friend here for breakfast just to catch up. I had never been to The Brig and while I have heard of it, was not really sure where it was. The friend said it was one of his favorite places in Dana Point for breakfast and it had been here forever.We had our choice of seating, since it was still pretty early and not many diners yet.The menu was large and had many choices for breakfast. I am a breakfast burrito fanatic, so if they offer one, I will choose it. The description threw me off a bit, since it was not a classic breakfast burrito, but it did sound intriguing. From the menu:Breakfast Burrito: Two large scrambled eggs, mixed with diced green peppers, onions, your choice of chopped bacon or ham, rolled in a giant flour tortilla, topped with ranchero sauce and melted jack & cheddar cheese. Served with rice & refried beans.I went with the ham option and it was served pretty quickly and the whole thing, including the plate was uber hot. I could not push the plate around unless I was using my napkin. That's hot!To help things along, I cut a couple of slices into the burrito to allow the steam and hotness to escape. I looked great, but as I mentioned before not your classic breakast burrito. The peppers and onions, the ranchero and cheese on top, all made this a bit different. As I learned, different can be fantastic.It was a very good breakfast meal. Eggs cooked nicely and the mix of the other ingredients along with the toppings were excellent. If you are at The Brig around breakfast and are really hungry, get their version of a breakfast burrito. Along with the massive burrito, they serve rice and beans. I had some of the beans, but since I didGo. EAT WELL. HAVE FUN!!!

Checking in at my favorite spot in Dana Point the Brigg.Spending time in Dana with my wife. My daughter with bun in the oven, son in law and grandson.My wife and I had the French dip special she got fries and I got pasta salad. They were great as always. Taste great good as always good amount of meat with the onions and mushrooms accenting the sandwich. The caspastrano Ranchero burger was really good. My son in law is picky he loves it.My daughter had Chicken fried steak, she says it was very good. This spot is a classic and memorable place for many young and old. The future of Dana point is progress of new looks and glam. Places are disappearing in that area.So if you love good food while visiting the Dana point Harbor.

The food here is basically like any other basic diner. Menu isn't creative or adventurous at all. If you want classic American diner food with no flare at all, this is your spot. Just simple home cooked meals. There's not much that sets this restaurant apart from other diners. I'm not saying it's bad to be a basic diner, it's just that since I'm in Dana Point which is kind of a rich beach city, I expected more upscale food especially for a restaurant being so close to the beach and yacht harbor. I had the chicken fried steak, portion was small and severely overpriced for what it is. Pasta salad was also very bland, I don't think it was seasoned at all, just tasted like cooked box macaroni, canola oil, and a slight drop of vinegar.

Great breakfasts, enjoy the service and outdoor seating for our canine. Worried we will lose this staple with the upcoming revamp of the harbor.

Our breakfast came out cold despite the fact that they were not busy. The food was not tasty and way over priced. There are a ton of places to get breakfast in the harbor, go somewhere else. I won't be coming back.

My brother and I went for breakfast and overall everything was very nice: certainly you can't beat the ambiance as it's right on the water in the Harbor! However, I'm sure the rent's not low there and so the only bit to be aware of is that the prices are pretty high, compared, say, to some place like RJ's. But the food was tasty, the coffee was good, the service was ok. Decent selections on the menus. Would definitely return.

After all of the great meals over the years at the Brig, I finally had Kevin's made- from-scratch cinnamon roll. It was the best cinnamon roll I've ever had!I have been missing out! The omelette I had yesterday was better than any other locally. The locals should support this restaurant as it is family owned/operated and they really go out of their way to offer the best experience possible.Take a look at the Cobb Salad with freshly made turkey, Huge and Delicious!
