Why we're the breakfast pick downtown
Breakfast in the Gaslamp can be hit or miss — too many spots are sleepy bar kitchens running tiny plates. Werewolf is different: oversized benedicts, real scrambles, hand-mixed bloodies and a host stand that actually moves the line.
Open at 8am on weekends and serving the full breakfast menu through 3pm every day of the week, so you can roll in after a Convention Center keynote, a morning at Petco Park, or a slow night out.
Must-order breakfast plates
Pork belly Benedict, steak and eggs, chilaquiles verdes, chicken and waffles, breakfast burritos, and the Kiss Burger if you're easing into the day with something heartier.
Wash it down with build-your-own bloody marys, mimosa flights, or our breakfast shots.
