Top notch customer service from the moment I walked in. The Cali burrito was so good (garlic fries and steak in the burrito was delicious), coffee was bold and tasty and the salsa on the side was really tasty. Very casual vibe which is perfect in San Diego.

Ow-ooooo. [howl] Of all the new restaurants I tried this year, this is the best on the west coast. Great vibe and friendly, busy but attentive servers helps, but they could have been absent jerks with food this good. The California burrito was packed with no filler. Every bite of this (misleadingly small) filling and sturdy burrito was either potent garlic french fry or lean steak, all complemented with jack cheese, sour cream, guac, and yummy house sauce (and salsa on the side). You MUST ALSO order the Sans la Croute. It's basically a Peanut Butter and Jelly Crustable french toasted with donut icing. Split the four halves with your tablemate(s) or wolf one down yourself. The Diet Pepsi wasn't gross, nor was the big glass overly packed with ice, so I didn't have to wait for refills. My tablemates loved their hearty Bloody Marys and gutbusting, lean pork belly benedicts. I cannot recommend a restaurant south of Long Beach higher than Werewolf. Howl you get in without reservations? Beats me.

When in SD one must try brunch at the Warewolf.... A Small but mighty menu offers a variety of options, breakfast balls, burritos, cakes, biscuits/gravy, eggs... there's something you will enjoy. We are pretty sure the pork belly Benedict is the best seller.. a unique twisted version of this classic ! Thick pork belly sits upon a fried potato cake, and under a poached egg. This isn't hollandaise you're getting maple cilantro glaze to add a sweet kick and compliment the pork. Three mounds of them are share worthy. Highly recommend you order a few things and share to try it all... Staff is engaging, smiling and clearly love being here! Thanks John, Fiona and Michael for the great start to the day!

The vibe at the werewolf was awesome. Our bartender Mo was amazing and Taylor was so fun. Food was hot, delicious and the drinks were tasty. My husband loved the Bloody Mary. Thanks for a great New year's Eve lunch. Taylor... Joshua said next time he's teaching you the electric slide.

Quick visit to San Diego for the weekend and after a long day/night of visiting breweries, woke up starving and looking for something fun and different for brunch. When we the last time (if ever) that your waiter came to the table and shook your hand to introduce himself? GREAT service could be seen across the whole place. The breakfast burrito was pretty standard but very tasty. The big winner was the chilaquiles roja. One of the best I have ever eaten in Southern Los Angeles! It's a bit noisy inside with the DJ doing a great job so be ready for some noise, but the whole place is very upbeat and moving so it fits perfectly. Sorry to not post food pictures - it was a hangover kind of day.

Werewolf is an awesome little spot and comes alive at night when the karaoke starts lol. As me and my wife were bar hopping we stopped by at werewolf and enjoyed some of their beers and got some sweet potato fries . Our server Chris was awesome and quick about getting our drinks and food. They have complementary popcorn and water to make sure you can balance off your buzz and the karaoke was a lot of fun. I debated on going up and doing some Led Zeppelin and i regret not doing it . For that very reason we will be back for sure. We also got their Brussel, beats and blue salad with some steak and it was amazing. The roasted Brussels were so good. We will definitely be back.

Located in downtown San Diego across from Horton Plaza, this smallish spot looks and feels like a dive bar but it's not. The food and cocktails are far, far better and more upscale than you would find in any true dive bar. And I say this with no offense to dive bars, which I love. It's not a dive bar but Werewolf has a lot of character, as werewolves do, I suppose. Most of the appetizers sounded great but our bellies were only big enough for dinner during our visit. We tried the Waterfront sliders (which were very good) and the Bourbon Bacon burger which is basically a western bacon cheeseburger. The burger was just slightly overcooked but the flavor overall was excellent. It's a big burger, by the way. Both dishes came with a ton of fries which were very crispy and well-seasoned. The kitchen here knows what it is doing. For a cocktail, I tried the Aero Club Whiskey Sour which was both beautiful looking and delicious. If you haven't figured it out by now, I believe this place is owned by the same owners as that classic and wonderful San Diego semi-divey bar (Aero Club) and that other classic and semi-divey fun San Diego restaurant (the Waterfront). They apparently do karaoke every night here but we were too early to enjoy it. Our service was off the charts wonderful. The decor is cool and funky. The music playing on the sound system was loud and fun. The long bar counter seemed to be the center of action with a bunch of normal customers looking for food, drinks, and fun, and one semi-crazy person who couldn't stop yelling. Hey, you are in downtown San Diego. You didn't think you would encounter any crazy people? This is a super fun place with great food and excellent service. I didn't see any werewolves, either on the menu or in the restaurant, but I would have given six stars if had seen one.

What a fun spot! I don't go downtown often but have been wanting to try Werewolf -- it did not disappoint! In the heart of the Gaslamp, we decided to stop by for brunch before a show at the Civic Theater. Took advantage of Yelp's live waitlist option and was seated shortly after arriving. This is definitely a bar vibe -- there's a live DJ (at noon!) and the place was popping. Many birthday shots and all around a fun vibe -- I'd love to stop by for karaoke sometime. The food is incredible. I got the Pork Belly Benedict and the flavors are so good! I don't think the avocado really added much to the dish though so I wouldn't add it again, but I most definitely would eat that Benny every day if I could. The staff is super friendly and personable. I liked they asked our names and made a point to chat a bit. Right on Fourth, we also got to watch a holiday parade go by that we didn't know about. Super fun. I just wish driving and parking downtown wasn't such a nightmare because I'd haunt this spot. I love the vibes and the food, plus the cocktails looked good as well.
