Service here isn't great. Food is just ok. It's a really cute place with a lot of potential. Left a little confused at why we were handed this bill with a credit card fee before we ever told her how we were going to pay... Not a lot of great options in this area, this is definitely one of the better ones. If my toddler wasn't falling asleep, I would've questioned the extra fee, check that your bill is correct here! read more

We haven't been here since before Covid. They remodeled and the place looks amazing! Excellent customer service - thanks Andrea. The food was excellent and pineapple mimosa are highly recommended. Thanks for the suggestion. Love this place. You will love it! read more

Ahh, another fantastic experience at the lighthouse. I love the eggs florentine with hollandais sauce Yummy. BIG NEWS they are serving dinner till 8 pm Tuesday thru Saturday, So if your not in the mood to cook tonight head down to the Lighthouse, there's a nice crowd of locals enjoying one of the dozen or so hand picked wines and a nice dinner. FRESH FISH choices are also available for the dinner crowd!! Tuesdays enjoy 3 street tacos and a ice cold Modelo for $5 bucks! The Burgers are really good too, See y'a there read more

Stopped here for breakfast after our cruise. My oh my what a fantastic surprise. We were a party of seven welcomed with a smile and by far one of the most delicious breakfasts we had ever had. We had everything from breakfast burritos to omelets to pancakes and everything was fantastic. Service was great and we all are still talking about it 36 hours later. read more

Please start cleaning. Walked in and noticed how dirty the floors were. Not just from the day dirty but, it hadn't had a good cleaning in awhile. Gum that had turn black stuck to the floor Sat down to the"cleaned" table. It was gross and sticky didn't want to touch it Food came went to use the salt and pepper shakers. Gross gross gross. From the glass container to the tops that haven't been cleaned in months. Food that had gotten in the top had turn black and sticky Seriously dump out the contents and throw them in the dishwasher. How hard is that Food is fabulous, but the dirty conditions will stop me from returning Shame after the new owners bought and redid everything I was hoping for the standard to be better than now. It's going back to the state of cleanliness it was from before read more

Great little local place in San Pedro. Great food and great vibes. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend trying the Huevos Rancheros w/ Chile verde!! read more

I used to go their before it changed ownership and was remodeled and has a different menu which was very pricey and nothing appealed to me so didn't stay to eat . Ambience was nice remodel looked good . But cant say anything about food since I haven't had the new menu. Old menu old food had great cooks and service and fair prices read more

Great food, nice comfortable setting. Waiters very friendly. Location is good in a peaceful neighborhood.

Came here on a whim as we drove down from LA for another diner which was closed. Ordered the grilled Cheese breakfast sandwich and asked for extra crispy bacon. Bacon was not fully cooked, some shredded cheese was on half the sandwich not melted, some avocado tossed in the other side of the sandwich. Nothing about this was grilled cheese, there was no melted cheese at all. Breakfast potatoes were hard and undercooked as well. The person who took our drink order was super nice but our actual server barely said a word to us at all. I've sent back food maybe 5 times in my life (as a former server I hate doing it) but I couldn't eat raw bacon. :( read more

Fantastic! Someone said on here they're expensive but really pricing is comparable to Denny's. But food is amazing, huge portions and delicious! Staff is friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is very laid back Sunday morning kind of vibes. Finished my food and paid and they still refilled my coffee and let me hang out for a little bit. Definitely recommend! read more

Lighthouse Cafe - Eggs Benedict with Hash Browns extra crispy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Pedro, California

5 stars for how the servers supported a customer in need! Bike mishap (not crash) that required some well needed regrouping and time to gather myself. A dad came in with his 2 kids and seated in the booth next to us. Dad had zero regard for other people. He was more focused on his beer. Kids bouncing incessantly, screeching and reaching over the booth, screaming (and almost smacking my husband numerous times) with zero concern or attention to anyone around them. We were not the only table or servers taking notice of the total lack of concern for the kids acting like the booth is their own personal romper room. I however was still in significant pain and just needed a moment to gather myself. Thank-you to the entire team for helping me and especially for the lovely lady who apologized on behalf of inconsiderate table. Kudos to the lighthouse cafe team! We WILL be back and hope others with unruly children are more considerate of others. If you can't control your childreN, PLEASE or stay home. We moved tables and the staff continued to be so gracious. Thank-YOU ALL! DAD: ZERO STARS! Be considerate and pay attention to your kid's behavior. read more

Mediocre over-priced food, even less impressive "service", they believe potato pancakes are slightly fried mashed potatoes so if that's your vibe this is your place . Also they open quite late, 8am for breakfast? Lazy. For the price they charge they need properly trained staff, can't have high priced food and inattentive service, they'll be out of business in the next 5 years I'd bet. read more

I read the reviews and I guess I set my expectations a bit high. The food was ok. Nothing special. The waitress was very attentive. Go for the service not the food. It's good quality food but there's nothing outstanding about the food read more

Lighthouse Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Pedro, California

So glad it was remodeled and opened up. Now, San Pedrans have a choice and don't have to just go to that "other place" right next door. Enjoy the ambience and serves much more at Lighthouse. Food is good! A nice variety and if lucky, steak specials :-) Slowly working my way through the menu. Also, their beer selection is pretty good for stuff on tap. Will need to try watching a game there and enjoying their bar specials, too - a nice local neighborhood place. read more

I'm visiting LA and came to this awesome restaurant. Great food and excellent service. The environment is beautiful!

Came here for brunch and it was really good and affordable. The waiter was extremely nice. I will come here again. I paid $38 for two people which I think it's a steal. Keep in mind I didn't order drinks since we like to drink lemon water but overall good price for food read more

Always feel welcome when l go to this restaurant. Service is top notch and the menu is full of delicious choice's. It's blocks from the beach and if it's a warm day you can eat outdoors or they may decide to open their garage door size window and the whole restaurant gets the feel of the beautiful California climate. Been eating here 1-2 x a week for over 10 years.. Saw them go through covid and an ownership change but not once have I had a bad experience. Highly recommended. read more

Service is always up and down. At times they are short staffed. The food isn't the greatest. I do love their burgers menu, but some orders I found without menu toppings. Lighthouse would probably my last choice on a too tired to cook night. read more

Best ever I like the food the service and the ambiance. It has the best food I've ever had and I've never been here sooo yeah do t believe this review I just wasted ur time. read more

One star * Machacca - awfull Still disappointing. Machacca was horribly mushy as if they whipped the eggs with the salsa. And unlike the reviews, there was zero shredded beef. Unless you count the two slivers I found digging through it. Pinto beans are good. The cheese had a weird fake taste. Maybe it was that non-clumping agent you find in pre-shredded cheese. One star *huevos rancheros. Yolks we're hardboiled when we asked for over-easy eggs. Mediocre sauce. The only edible items were the hash browns which were golden brown, but for $50.00 plus for three plates, I just can't justify returning for good hash browns and toast. read more

Great food. Nice atmosphere, fun! Chicken tenders are great, not over breaded, very tender. Fries and onion rings best I've had in a long time! Highly recommend this place. read more

The updated cafe is very clean, sleek and modern looking. There is a sliding glass garage door which is usually open to make you feel partly outdoors. The menu has a wide variety of tasty options. The servers are quick, helpful and kind. The food was served hot and and tasted delicious. Definitely one of of favorite breakfast cafes in San Pedro. read more

The food is good and the employees are always great. The outside dining area is so nice as well. read more

Lighthouse Cafe - Eggs Florentine Hash Browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Pedro, California

Today was my first time eating here. My group sat outside since it was a beautiful day. We had a great server and was served fairly quick. When our food arrived, we couldn't believe how generous the portions were. We were so hungry and could only eat half of what we ordered. The burgers were stacked so high and we had a huge pile of fries and onion rings. I will definitely be coming back next time we're on San Pedro. Thank you for your great service and delicious food! read more

Love this place, great local place, great environment ... servers friendly, food comes out fast-hot and tasty.

Came and tried this place for the first time since they renovated. It is definitely upgraded a lot since I first tried it. The restaurant is a lot nicer looking and modernized from previous. The reason for 3 stars is one the waitress is kinda clueless we asked what type of teas are available and she said theres a lot and she would have to bring out the selection. There were 4 types. Green, black, English breakfast and orange. I can remember them it's not that hard. Secondly my friend asked for his sandwich to not have turkey and to sub burger patty came with turkey and burger patty also had to keep reiterating our orders because she kept getting them confused. The came out and it was pretty good except the hash browns didn't have any seasoning not the biggest deal but definitely needed to add salt and pepper to it . I'd come back again and try their other items though read more

Another unexpected gem. This little cafe is clean, bright and has a great feel to it. It has some modern necessities such as USB charge ports at the table. Eat inside or out. The service is very good, greeted happily entering and exiting. Just very friendly. The food is fresh and tasty. I had the Breakfast grilled cheese and my daughter had the avocado toast. The grilled cheese was amazing, although I asked for no Sriracha and it came with it anyway. My fear was too much sriracha but this was perfect. Hot and fresh and so much better than I expected. The Avocado toast was also delicious and enough for a meal. The prices are reasonable and you can pay from your phone-contactless. If I'm even close to this area again I'll be back. read more

Delicious breakfast, friendly staff, and charming Sausalito vibe. Would definitely recommend!

Great place for early weekend breakfast with friends. Great service from wait staff. Reasonable prices and parking was good

The Lighthouse is Back! Under new ownership with many menu favorites, and great new choices as well. Staff is awesome, service is great. The interior space is open, airy and comfortable, outdoor seating is available, and dogs are welcome. The awesome team in the kitchen is still intact, and the quality/portions are second to none. read more

Lighthouse Cafe - The Pedro Melt with turkey. Oh so good - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Pedro, California

For the past 14 years, the Lighthouse Café has been one of our favorite spots for breakfast and lunch. We planned our day around going for breakfast to try out the "new and improved" spot. I'm giving it 1 star for the remodel and ambience but after no one approached us at our table, we left after 20 minutes. We did tell the bus boy, who was working extremely hard, that we would like to order but no one ever came to our table. We will definitely try it again, perhaps it's all the newness of everything. Although I did notice the wait staff doing a lot of talking to each other and one of them never seemed to leave the counter area. Also, two people that came in after us had their order taken and we sat another 10 minutes before we decided to leave. Disappointing, but we will give it another go. read more

I used to ride my bike here as a kid... probably been coming here for 20 years but not in the past 10 or so... I will start with the good: - renovations look great! - food was great!! Now the not-so-good: - it was pretty empty and took a while to get acknowledged. - waitress forgot to refill drinks numerous times (and it still wasn't busy). I fully understand if it is busy but with 3 waitresses and an open format, no excuse. - flies are EVERYWHERE! It's crazy because I thought it was just me but looking at other reviews, it's bad! Final thoughts: I would come back but after some time... wait staff needs to be a bit more attentive and not sure if it's just the location but the fly issue is pretty gross. Spent most of the time swatting the flies away rather than eating. A different waitress noticed the drinks being empty and offered to get more, which is a huge plus and probably shows her experience as a waitress. read more

Update: The management must have taken notice! Staff is more attentive, the food is delivered accurately and the tea is delicious! Thank you team for making this a great place to eat again! read more

Lighthouse cafe is a really nice hidden gem. We had good service, amazing food and it's in a really nice area. I usually have to sacrifice good food or a nice restaurant but you can have it all here! read more
