Lucky's Breakfast — Restaurant in San Diego

Lucky’s breakfast is a special experience. I first got to know this place when living in San Diego when my boyfriend at the time introduced me. Fast forward to a cross country move, a few years away from Sandy Eggo, and a new husband who’s experiencing the golden coast for the first time. I had to show him Lucky’s.

The bacon is pretty thin. The pancakes are not the best, seemed on the dry side and slightly overcooked for me. But overall it's an okay place for...

Run by Lucky and his friend/family(?), the service and food may not be what you get at other restaurants down the street but strangely enough, nothing about that is a bad thing at all.
