Southern-Style Huckleberry's Opens 1st San Diego County Restaurant

ESCONDIDO, CA — Huckleberry’s Breakfast and Lunch, a restaurant packing Cajun and Creole flair, has opened its first San Diego-area location in Escondido.

With a “Southern Cookin’ with a California Twist” tagline, the eatery offers such dishes as fried green tomatoes, grits, okra, Monte Cristo and shrimp po' boy sandwiches, Cajun-style eggs and andouille sausage, Creole-style catfish, chicken and waffles, jambalaya rice and Mardi Gras beignets.

Huckleberry’s is a fast-growing franchise, founded in 2008 with 25 locations primarily in northern and central California, plus an additional six to eight planned for 2022 and another dozen or so in 2023, company officials said.

The Escondido locale, however, was launched May 9 by company principals, Greg Graber, Chip Anderson and David Glennon.

“Chip, David and I are excited to join our franchise owners as Huckleberry’s is growth-ready, and the timing is perfect to enter the San Diego market," said Graber, CEO of Heritage Restaurant Brands. "We are thrilled with the warm reception we’ve received in Escondido."

The new restaurant is open daily 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 1260 Auto Park Way in Escondido.

The Huckleberry's Breakfast and Lunch chain is owned by San Luis Obispo-based Heritage Restaurant Brands, also operator of Perko's Cafe Grill and Cool Hand Luke's Steakhouse Saloon.
