Eat Chow is a small restaurant chain that has locations in Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and Santa Ana.
The New American restaurant, which is co-owned by Brian McReynolds and Amy Frawley, has a varied menu that features dishes from grilled shrimp stuffed peppers to ground turkey burger to Spanish style roasted chicken salad.
Their “The Chow Burger”, which is available for lunch and dinner only, is hands down one of the best burgers you’ll ever have.
However, what we’re really interested in is its breakfast menu. Unfortunately, we haven’t had the pleasure to try their delicious hand-crafted breakfast dishes yet.
Eat Chow’s breakfast menu is all over the place, just like the rest of their menu. In it you’ll find all that you crave for breakfast in the morning, from cereal and fruit to eggs and chow to tacos and burritos.
The restaurant has 4 stars out of 2076 reviews on Yelp, and their breakfast lineup is considered one of the best in California. In fact, it’s so good it took second place in CBS’s 5 Best Breakfast and Brunch Spots in Newport Beach.
Co-owners Brian McReynolds and Amy Frawley deliver re-imagined breakfast favorites like lemon mascarpone French toast; barbecue pulled pork Benedicts; and egg white mole burritos with Tia’s housemade mole.
If you’re planning on hitting up Eat Chow for breakfast anytime soon, we recommend you check the menu online before you get there.
