BEST BRUNCH
IN SAN DIEGO
Breakfast burritos, country fried steak, bloody marys, and the longest-running all-day breakfast in Little Italy.
San Diego has plenty of brunch spots that take reservations a week out and charge $24 for avocado toast. Waterfront Bar & Grill isn't one of them. We've been serving breakfast in Little Italy since 1933 — every single day, walk-in only, with a full bar pouring bloody marys and mimosas from 8am.
Best breakfast in Little Italy
Eggs your way, hash browns, omelets, country fried steak with gravy, biscuits, chicken and waffles, and the breakfast burrito locals keep coming back for. Served daily from open. The kitchen never closes for a "between brunch and lunch" lull — you can order eggs at 1pm and a burger at 8am.
Breakfast burrito Little Italy
Eggs, potatoes, cheese, salsa, and your choice of bacon, chorizo, or carne asada — wrapped tight, griddled, and served with hot sauce. One of the best breakfast burritos in San Diego and a reason regulars walk in three blocks from their apartment every Saturday.
Country fried steak in San Diego
Pan-fried, cracker-crust, cream gravy, two eggs, hash browns, toast. Hard to find done right anywhere in San Diego. We've been doing it the same way for decades.
Brunch cocktails & bloody marys
House bloody mary mixed in-house — celery salt, horseradish, the works. Build your own with a pickle, olive, or shrimp on top. Mimosas, micheladas, and a $5 bottomless coffee for the slow risers. Full bar from 8am every day.
Weekend Mexican brunch
Saturday and Sunday we run a full Mexican brunch menu alongside the regular breakfast — chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, breakfast tacos, and our signature carne asada burrito. Two menus, one room, no waiting list.
Dog-friendly brunch
Bring the dog. We're one of the few dog-friendly brunch spots in San Diego with a real patio and a water bowl waiting at the door.
