Nate's Garden Grill

We're so lucky to live walking distance from this place. We're here pretty much every Sunday morning like clockwork. Definitely check out city farmers Nextdoor. Shoutout to Adrian, Carrie and Tiffany for being the best hosts and Adan for the best food in town.

Everyone in our party enjoyed their food. Coincidentally, we all ordered something w pulled pork in it (sandwich, plate, and egg benedict). The Breakfast Plate w upgrade of biscuit and jam was great too. Love that they have a covered outdoor patio and frequently have live music. It's order at the counter and seat yourself so NO reservations. Makes it a little harder for large groups. It is a little warm indoors on a warm day even with ceiling fans though. Parking is limited in their lot so you may have to park on the street. Check out the unique plant nursery next door which has farm animals too!

Quaint little spot and we had excellent service. The staff was friendly and received our order quick Better beer selection then expected too lots on tap! Food was fresh and lots of flavor The only downside was the cheese in the kids Mac and cheese was a bit too sharp for my kid to enjoy , next time we'll order something different for her I will also note watching the staff take care in wiping down the tables after some families left was commendable. The tables were sanitized throughly and floors and chairs adjusted

We went here a year ago and enjoyed everything that we ordered because it was so homemade, and the food was truly cared about. This time, the food was still homemade, but it seemed rushed and put together differently. We ordered the tri-tip breakfast tacos, which were all around flavorful. The biscuits and gravy were OK, but didn't have enough gravy, and the biscuits were just OK. Our friends enjoyed their crabcake Benedict, but not so much the French toast. Their homemade root beer had a funny taste and their coffee was nothing special. Our first visit was better. I would still recommend this place to friends though because of the patio, the live music, fresh ingredients, and their garden. We had a chance to walk around their large nursery and check out the animals as well! It's a great place to bring kids. Parking lot can be full on a weekend.

The ambiance, the service and the consistently good breakfast dishes are the draw. These are the reasons I have come to deeply appreciate Nate's. I love the Egg's Benedict and crab cakes most of all, but have never had a bad meal. The restaurant prides itself in sourcing from local farms and in prioritizing organic produce and locally roasted coffee as well as locally brewed beer. A wonderful, local community vibe. You will also find a rotation of local musicians who regularly play here -- folk, blues, acoustic music, jazz and the like. And, apparently, they not only make their own biscuits, but also brew their own root beer. Yes, this is definitely the place to bring your out of town visitors. And the team is highly informative and accommodating as well. They do help you to feel right at some. Same with the patrons, for the most part. Never have I had a negative experience here, and it is overall very child and family friendly. But, alas, there are three things I see as problematic: Parking. It may be difficult. There is a small, shared surface lot that was extended not too long ago. But the lot does not at all accommodate the popularity of the businesses here. Expect to do a few laps or, if you are lucky, find a spot on the street, which is on a hill (not best for those with mobility aids). The restrooms will sometimes reek, which is a problem for the tables seated at the very back of the restaurant. It can get very hot in the summer. Air circulation is no a best trait here. ...not reason enough to miss this local favorite.

Cutest place! Great service and the food was delicious! It was our first time checking this place out. When we got there, it's a very cute small coffee spot but you realize it bigger than what you see outside. They had a group performing and it was nice to have. The cashier and servers were amazingly nice. My husband and I had the pulled pork Benedict and my niece had the steak. I loved the potato cake that came with my benedicts! Overall the plates had flavor and I want to go back! Great place to visit.

Special place. Good food. Good beer. Live music. Connected to a nursery so buy a plant and have a hamburger. They have live music quite frequently which is harder to find than you think. They have a covered patio to enjoy that nice San Diego weather. Family friendly.

I was finishing up a work trip and was looking for a good lunch spot on yelp. I found Nate's garden grill and decided to eat here. As soon as I entered I was greeted by the front door staff. When you come in you order your food and then take a seat. The staff were very friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered grilled chicken breast sandwich which consist of avocado, Swiss cheese, onion, tomato, pesto aioli on toasted sourdough bread. I had a kale slaw along with the sandwich. The sandwich was phenomenal and delicious. The chicken was grilled to perfection and the bread was toasted perfectly. The kale slaw was delicious. I also ordered a Cobb salad and a crab cake salad. My wife loved her Cobb salad. The crab cake came with kale, onion, capers, raddicchio, Parmesan with lemon garlic vinaigrette. The crab cake was the star of the salad it was so delicious and very flavorful. The ambiance is customer friendly and plenty of seating. Great place to go for breakfast and lunch.

Line can get a little long but that is indicative of great food and service. The biscuits are bomb and the best in the city. I wish the owners would have them everyday on the menu:)

Delicious food. Plan to relax and enjoy the environment and pick up some seeds or plants after a great meal
