    The Eggs Americana is amazing! Try it!Also, the Burger Special for November (Thanksgiving Burger) is delightfully tasty if you're looking for something other than breakfast food.

    The Santa Maria breakfast burrito is legit. It's enormous though so bring your appetite... Or take half home.

    They claim to be the oldest bar in San Diego (50/50 as to whether that’s true), but it's in a cool location, and you get used to the stale beer smell pretty quickly. Read more

    The chili is excellent and is very large. I wish they'd serve cups instead of only serving bowls.

    Great bar, but unfortunately packed full of frat kids trying to rap along. Also, they use cheater pints that are actually only 12oz. Too bad.

    Watch sports while sitting at the bar. When your team does something good, stand up and pound on the roof! They bartenders dig it...
