A Catalina Island tradition — original scrambles, hearty classics, cage-free eggs, and Kona coffee. Open every morning on Catalina Ave in Avalon.
See the Menu Find UsTucked on Catalina Ave in the village of Avalon, Original Jack's Country Kitchen has been feeding island visitors and locals with generous, unpretentious breakfast and lunch plates. Whether arriving by ferry or waking up on the island, the morning routine includes stopping here first.
The menu is straightforward and satisfying — cage-free eggs cooked every way, hearty classics like chicken fried steak, and the original scramble that regulars keep coming back for. Pair it with a cup of Kona and the day begins right.
Fresh Kona coffee brewed daily. The kitchen opens at 7 AM every morning — the earliest spot in Avalon to get a proper breakfast before heading out on the island.
"Every trip to Catalina starts at Jack's. The original scramble is legendary and the Kona coffee actually wakes you up. Can't imagine visiting the island without stopping here."
"The chicken fried steak with gravy is the real deal — massive portion, excellent gravy, perfectly cooked eggs. Don't come here expecting a light meal."
"Super casual, totally island-vibe, and the food is genuinely good. The French toast combo is a winner. Great place to fuel up before a day of golf carts and snorkeling."
