Usually late night food places are not that great but i was pleasantly surprised with waterfronts menu options..the burgers were delish!

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 .

Happy Hour M-F 3pm-6pm. Great crew working in the kitchen and behind the bar . Craft beers & a legit bar burger .

The WFB&G is always awesome... well , when you can find parking . Great drinks and great burgers .

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.
