About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem

Brian’s copper-clad, open kitchen, with its beautiful, historic “Joan Crawford” mahogany bar, combine with our beveled glass window wall and crystal chandelier to create an atmosphere enjoyed by all who visit.

Breakfast is served 24 hours a day and can be as simple as bacon or sausage and eggs. Our beyond delicious hotcakes and malted waffles made with real buttermilk, fresh eggs and butter leave many guests talking about one of the best breakfasts they have ever eaten.

Strangest Open Table Experience EVER!! We arrive after reserving on O.T. and are told at the door that Brian's 24 is not on Open Table and never has been. They're still happy to seat us, just not from O.T. reservation. I pull up my reservation on IPad and show it to waiter. He pretty much blew that off (nicely), saying he doesn't know how it could have happened as Brians is simply NOT on Open Table. Verified it was correct restaurant and location. I notified management on their restaurant website link, but never got a reply.

My adult daughter and I went to Brian's 24 before a show at the theater. We were delighted to see an all day and night breakfast on the menu. The toasted ravioli appetizer was delicious. Our meals were wonderfully prepared and equally delicious. We both had plenty leftover for a meal the following day! I would recommend this anytime!

Food took a little long, but it was worth the wait. Big portions for your buck, great place to go with friends, it's a small restaurant but the servers are nice and want you to enjoy your time there! Went for my birthday lunch and it did not disappoint :)

We were staying at adjoining Ramada Inn @Historic St. James Hotel in Gaslamp District. Not only did we have Thanksgiving dinner at Brian's 24, we also had drinks at the bar one evening with late night snacks and brunch 2x. By the time we ended our 4 day stay, we felt like family. The portions are huge so great value especially if you share (highly recommended).

My husband and I decided to come here for breakfast. A narrow diner right next to a hotel. You can actually see the lobby from the glass wall separating the two areas. I couldn't decide whether to get the corned beef hash benedict or an omelet. Our server recommended the hash benedict. My husband ordered the french toast. The portions were large. French toast consisted of 8 large slices and were delicious. Although my benedict didn't look as appetizing, it tasted incredible! Great call by the server. Everyone who waited on us were attentive and friendly. Large meal meant big bill. Didn't expect to spend $40 on breakfast.

We had breakfast here before a kayak trip and I was not impressed. The food was boring and I did not feel the place was very clean. I ordered eggs benedict which is my favorite thing to eat and the ham was awful. We had friends from Belgium with us and I was embarrassed that I picked this place. we won;t be back.

We had breakfast on July 5th and we were very glad that we made reservations because the place was packed before and after we ate. The chicken and waffle was very good. The price of items are a bit pricey but the portions are huge! I recommend Brian's to anyone.

The food had potential to being good however the food was luke warm at best. At a table of seven only the two kids food was hot. My food was never put in so they had to make it and it still did not come out hot. The taste was there but not having it hot killed it. We also ordered there 32 ounce shake it was more like chocolate milk than a shake. The server was nice not very bright she had a problem separating the check and tip.
