Harbor Breakfast — Restaurant in San Diego

I hate leaving reviews like this but it must be done. Came here with my father early one morning and waited about 15 min for a table which is no problem. Small place, so it’s understandable, plus we wanted a table not a bar seat. Bar seat are much quicker. The hostess was a little short girl with a bob haircut and she was amazing. She had a smile on her face and was acting as a Hostess, busser, and managed to create two tables out of thin air outside when the line got extremely long. Superwoman. Our waitress (wearing a fedora like hat) However had a pretty rotten attitude which started when we asked for a different drink when we realized the orange juice tasted like...well a freshly painted room. She defensively said “well, I just saw them make it in the back, sooo...”. For the rest of the meal she was quite passive and whenever she picked something up or dropped something off at our table, she said absolutely nothing. She was also very slow at rotating tables. I felt bad waiting so long for my bill when 6 groups of people were waiting outside for a table. We were sitting there for a good 10 min waiting for a check. And she never offered a to-go box, I had to ask for one. I don’t know if it’s all they had but I received a little Chinese-like fold box for a pancake. I had to fold the pancake over twice to get it to fit in the box. The food wasn’t bad but wasn’t good either. Same eggs your would get at any common breakfast diner. Bacon was really good and thick. Buttermilk pancakes where also just okay , and contained cinnamon, which I wasn’t expecting. My father ordered the bagel sandwhich with scrambled eggs inside and he received over easy. It’s one of the only breakfast places in the area so it’s still packed but our experience made us quite uncomfortable and I wouldn’t recommend this...

It's a nice little spot, small and crowded, but has character. We were excited for breakfast, unfortunately they left us with a bad taste in our mouths. First off the item we were hoping to try was the biscuits and gravy. Upon ordering we were told that they just sold the last one, and wouldn't be willing to make anymore, because they make them fresh. This was 3 hours from closing. We were disappointed, but willing to take another stab at the menu. We ask the waitress what is better, the pumpkin pancakes, or the French toast. She responds emphatically, "the French toast!" So that is what we order. 30 minutes later the waitress returns to the table to inform us they are also sold out of the French Toast. We almost leave, but we were with friends and they had just received their order. We decided to share the already delivered food as a group, and go for lunch instead. It's a shame, the place has potential, but the food prep and kitchen is managed extremely poorly, that or the cooks are lazy. Especially for a place that is only open for breakfast and lunch. Our final impression was the waitress excited to tell us that they took the French toast off of the bill for us. Thanks for not charging us for food we didn't receive. We...

Location Location Location, this place is a little hidden Gem, but the Local's sure do know about it. This is a normal locals corner breakfast restaurant. No loud screaming kids from the hotels near by, just everyday normal adults grabbing breakfast in between working from home. It has a great laid back and relax vibe for being so close to downtown. Let's hope the crowd from the Hob Knob does not find out about this place. It reminded me of stepping back in time a little and on my visit, it was raining and cold, so it felt like an old warm and friendly spot you may pop into before going skiing, LOL It reminded me of being in Colorado for some reason. This place has such huge potential, but I think the patrons as well as the owners want to keep it simple and just the way it is, and that is not a bad thing. I will say, this spot would be a great venue to rent out at night for private events and such. They are only open for breakfast and early lunch. Pricing is average for the area, but that is the thing, not a lot of options in this area for this type of spot, it is not to hip spot, it is just a big plate of food, a hot up a coffee and a big smile...
