The chocolate chip pancake for $6 was to die for!!! It's perfectly crisp and has a lot of chips, no syrup needed. Service is pretty fast to bring waters and get your order. They also check in and bring extra silverware too. Inside is a cute old school type dive bar like you're in a pirate ship, so cool!! read more

Great sandwiches good portions at decent prices. Parking can be difficult, there is parking in front and the back , also nearby street parking if you can find a spot. If you want a good sub I would highly recommend this place. My favorite was their meatball. read more

Its a small place but man is it good! The menu has a variety of items, we have only been there for breakfast and it has not disappointed! We usually stick to our usual, steak and eggs, and a huge pancake and breakfast potatoes. The steak is always cooked just right and the potatoes amazing! And the pancakes I mean just look at it. Our server, Ellen, is simply the best. Didn't matter how busy it was she made sure to check on all her tables! A staple in the area for sure, stop by I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Point break cafe is a neighborhood favorite dive bar and comfort food diner all rolled into one. it is spacious and has a full kitchen. I was there on a Sunday during brunch and it was very busy. Nonetheless the kitchen is fast and they are pretty well staffed so food came out pretty quick. I tried the number one house omelette, it was a bit of a creamy mess and the pesto cream didn't really have much flavo. There's also supposed to be artichoke, there wasn't much. I've definitely had better omelettes. Overall, if you're looking for a bar or diner in this area, this does the trick. read more

Hidden gem on Shelter Island. Great breakfast spot ; the wraps and buttermilk pancakes were delicious, the pot coffee was strong. Friendly service from the time we entered the restaurant. The decor was a bit dated but gave it a good, retro vibe. Well done. read more

Point Break - Entrance - American Near Me - San Diego, California

Can't say we're long time customers despite flying into San Diego and staying a while, so many times over the decades, but this was a hidden gem for us and the kids prior to a Disney cruise trip. Outstanding service. Outstanding! Even the kids noticed, and this clearly isn't a kid-focused environment. Loved the food value here, especially given the majority of tourist spots throughout the area. read more

Nestled in the heart of Point Loma, this place is not fancy, but is a local favorite, especially amongst the sailors and live-aboards. When I still lived here I was within walking distance and came here to eat at least once a week. The service is usually great and the food delicious. The portions are large and easy to split with your date and both will walk away full. My favorite add on to breakfast is their pineapple coconut pancakes. Delish! Beware of naughty sea gulls who will pounce on unattended plates if dining outside, and be ready for dogs trying to attack each other from under tables. It's Cali. Everyone has to bring their dog... Whatever. Just don't bite me and stare me down while I'm eating. read more

Ellen our server is by far the best server I've ever had the pleasure of having serve me. She is just a sweetest person and gave recommendations to places nearby. Things servers just don't take the time to do anymore. It was my birthday and she spoiled me rotten with an Irish coffee that didn't disappoint. The food was amazing. Juan the cook is incredible back there and he deserves a big thanks! My kids and wife loved thier choices and I don't think you can go wrong eating here. I'm coming back again go sure. Love the look and location or this place. read more

Wow. What a hidden gem. I walked here from my hotel looking for a sit down American breakfast. They delivered on all fronts: food, ambiance, friendless, and options. I am here dying the holidays and it's decorated in a cozy manner. I love it. Will probably be back again before I go home I got the point break breakfast with egg whites. Exactly what I was after read more

We stopped by for lunch before leaving Shelter Island, heading out of San San Diego. It was on a Sunday about 2:30 so a weird time. Main reason we stopped they offer free parking lot and others places charge. Other's post in Yelp "Dive atmosphere " it is but there are tables inside or out and bar top with nice staff members. Theresa answered all our questions and brought out a nice cold beer. Tiki Hubby ordered shepherds pie and I had to try the mozzarella logs as great reviews about them. Well I have to say we were not disappointed. Cheese logs had a delicious crispy light crust that was cooked perfectly so as biting into you get a warm gooey soft cheesy stringy taste with a fresh homemade tomato dip. So good I hated to share. I did share tiki hubbies shepherd pie, a really large casserole dish with bubbly hot thick gravy topped with mashed potatoes and cheese. The filling was dark gravy filled with chucks of lamb, peas, carrots, green beans with your choice of a side , so good. See the photos. Delicious and great choices read more

I love me a dive bar with reasonable prices. And OMG I'm still dreaming about the mozzarella cheese sticks. More like cheese blocks. If I lived closer I would weigh 700 lbs. Service was great. Dive bar feel is alive. Now I don't feel so bad on cheating on my family's bar close by. Club Marina. read more

I love this bar. Not a tourist in sight...Happy Hour menu is amazing, and the bartender is super friendly. It is dog friendly, with "Yappy Hour" all day, every day, with their own menu. Fun place! read more

I love the Point Breakfast ‼ My waitress, Jessica T. was very nice and gave me extra care in getting what I wanted and how I wanted it... I really appreciate her. I love this restaurant's hometown feel and delicious food read more

Great food at reasonable prices. Very casual and great crowd of loyal customers. Service is great and I would love this place fully.

There is no reason NOT to try this restaurant...they have a large and varied menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, serving breakfast til 3:00 if that's your preference. The food is FANTASTICALLY DELICIOUS and well prepared, the price, for the size portions and excellent quality, is amazing. The wait staff is super friendly. Sarah (dinner waitress), and Ellen (breakfast) were both gems. Over the course of a long weekend, we ate here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Can't say enough about the friendliness of the staff and the excellence of the food during all three visits. The place is a little local hole in the wall, very relaxed and comfortable. Unfortunately, I live in Maine...I'm really going to miss this place! read more

Had great breakfast at Point Break cafe, the chicken fried steak was delicious and the service was excellent. The place is one of those hole-in-the-wall local eateries that caters to the local fishing community. Good food and reasonable price makes this a good choice for breakfast. read more

Cozy dive bar in shelter island. Love the decor and the Christmas lights which makes the place feel homey. The onion rings were perfect. Lots of cold and hot sandwich options, which made it hard to choose what to get for lunch. We got the Cuban sandwich, 2 French dip sandwiches, grilled mahi mahi sandwich. The coleslaw and potato salad were creamy and super yummy. read more

I love this place! I always get the house omelette because you can't find it anywhere else! A delicious sausage omelette with smoked gouda, artichokes and topped with a creamy pesto. I was tempted by the steak fries someone got with their lunch so I had to get some. They did not disappoint and their ranch, to die for! The vibe inside is divey for sure but I love it. V classic point loma vibes. Staff is friendly but nothing over the top. Sitting outside in the sun is also always a plus! read more

Have been looking for a new dive bar to frequent since Cap'n Keno's closed in Encinitas. While the food prices at Point Break are nowhere near as cheap, the happy hour beverages fit the bill. The dining room has the same stuck in the 70s vibe. Happy hour lasts until 6:30 PM M-F. Also stopped in after a concert at Humphrey's on a Friday evening and had the place to myself for a short while. The microbrew selection is adequate. Haven't tried the food. read more

I'd say the place needs a complete remodel job inside and out. But the food in absolutely great breakfast lunch and dinner! Haven't been disappointed yet ! 8.75 rating read more

Delicious food- had the Benedict and biscuits and gravy. Everyone was happy with their food. Service was friendly.

We have come here for years and love it. This is your classic local place that has great food, strong drinks, and amazing people. I recently saw a few reviews from what appear to be the same woman that disparage point break. Alicia G. And Alejandra G. Both had a few bad things to say about how they were treated. When you look at their pictures you realize it's the same person with an ax to grind. Bottom line, if you are a princess and think the world revolves around you please don't come here! Those of us that love this family, fun, nostalgic place don't want to be around it. If you want good food, great drinks and good people this is your place and I love local like this!!! read more

Stopped in Saturday for lunch before heading out for a harbor cruise. Walked in and immediately found Katherine, who set us up with the perfect tables and room for our expanding group. Our server, Alana, was amazing. She was super attentive and took great care of us. And then, at shift change, Lyndsey stepped in to help and she was wonderful, too. From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked.... well, staggered... out, the service was fantastic. We'll be back! read more

Dive bar is a misnomer but understand why it received such a designation. All In jest. I could live in this place. It's local but should be a tourist attraction as well. In fact, tourists do yourself a favor, check this place out. You'll be lucky to get Ellen as your server. I thought she was the owner because of her work ethic, hustle and friendly treatment. The breakfast was the best ever. Ellen ground the coffee beans before opening. You can wear a tux or bathing suit. You won't regret it. read more

I have never had anything bad here. Cocktails are delicious, beer is cold. I am in love with their house omelette. I asked it to marry me, but it wasn't available for that kind of commitment. When you get a side of fruit with breakfast, it's fresh. Not some canned garbage. The appearance of the establishment is awesome. Like you're below deck in an old wooden boat. The place speaks to the old time ways of my heart. read more

My favorite thing to do on Sunday morning is get up and go to a dance class and then eat all the calories (and more) back at Point Break. This is a classic spot on the way to Shelter Island and when you step inside you just know you're going to have a top notch diner brunch. Decor is old school. Music is modern. Servers are the best in the land. There is an outdoor patio if you prefer sunshine to wood panel vibes. Dogs are welcome here too which I think just makes it even more perfect. Portions are huge and delicious. Don't forget to order a pancake for the table! read more
