Came by for happy hour - got mango habanero wings and pork sliders. Also had a couple $5 salty crews. Food was delicious and happy hour deal was awesome value. Server was super friendly - set on the patio in the sunshine. Solid visit - will be back! read more

Had the traditional benedict, country fried steak and pancakes. Pancakes are the highlight they did a nice job. Probably the worst country fried steak I've had. Dry and not very big. Gravy very average. Waitress very nice but it took a few to get her out on the patio. Worst thing is smoking is apparently allowed there was a lady lighting up wasn't pleasant. Also when we walked on to the patio there is a table by the outside door with a cleaning g bucket and an ashtray full of old cigs. Stayed there the whole time as I watched the waitress and bus boy walk by multiple times. Not a good look read more

Food was cold! Sausage gravy cold. Biscuits gummy and tasted glutinous! Not fine dining for the price! A fast food place would be better.

Definitely a local's place! Great service, incredible food, which was served quickly. Though a bit dark , it made the place that more charming and overall, a great experience. Thank you! read more

Another great experience here in Shelter Island, always enjoy Point Break. We came in for b'fast twice, always share an omelette since there is SO much food in one entree. Service is good, personable, even tho we're from AZ, they "know us" becuz we visit so often, even remembers how we swap the omelette ingredients to make it vegetarian! ; ) The ambiance is fun, always decorated SO WELL for Halloween, too. Will keep coming as long as it's here! read more

Perfect "locals" dive bar for great food and drinks. Low key, no pretense and good, inexpensive food and drinks.

Great bar food. Great people great relaxed atmosphere. Service is good and very relaxed vibe.

We were staying nearby and had a hankering for breakfast. After Googling a few spots we settled on Point Break. Mainly because of the proximity to our hotel and their menu pricing. A short walk from the hotel and we arrived. Our first impression was, "What the hell is this shack?". We walked past the old fisherman looking dude sitting out front smoking a cigarette to a partially open heavy wooden door. I opened the door and we stepped into an old, dimly lit café with no windows, a low ceiling and dirty carpet. We were greeted and told we could seat ourselves so we grabbed a couple of stools at the bar. We sat at the bar and looked around at all of the odd décor that seemed to be randomly placed here and there. Most of it with a layer or two of dust on it. We were greeted by a very nice young woman behind the bar. She took our drink order, a Red Trolley Ale for me and a Bloody Mary for Becky. The Bloody Mary, by the way, Bex said was very good. Nice and spicy. After looking at the huge Point Break breakfast menu and hemming and hawing, I finally landed on the Fun Breakfast for $8.25 Two Pancakes Any Style, Two Strips of Bacon or Two Sausage and two Scramble Eggs. I substituted Louisiana Sausage. The pancakes were light and fluffy with just enough density in the middle. They were cooked just right. The eggs were scrambled well and seasoned nicely. I received one lengthwise cut of half of one link of the Louisiana sausage. The other half would've been appreciated. Bex opted for the Point Break*fast $8.75 Eggs, Choice of Smoked Bacon, Breakfast Sausage, Louisiana Sausage, or Ham with Grilled Potatoes, Hash Browns, Black Beans, or Refried Beans, and Choice of Toast She chose scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, grilled potatoes and sourdough toast. The eggs were cooked to her liking, but she did add S&P. The potatoes were excellent - I helped myself to some. She received three little sausage links. The Farmer John variety that you can find in just about any grocery store for $1 a package. Pretty good sausage albeit very small links. One of her links was burned beyond recognition. Completely inedible. We were surprised that it even made it to the plate. Except for the burnt sausage link, the food at Point Break was surprisingly good. Especially given the divey, shanty-like nature of the place. Three stars. read more

Point Break is a DIVE, but the food is excellent ! Great Service - Really nice servers - and beer on tap. The building is the old Boll Weevil in Point Loma. The kitchen is most likely using the original hardware from the old Boll Weevil days, which makes everything really tasty and has that cooked in flavor. This is a great place for breakfast. We call it "Legs and Eggs" due to the pretty waitresses that work there. The Patty Melt is probably one of the best in all San Diego, and the Fry's that come with it are those large potato wedges cooked golden brown to perfection. The toasted bread on the patty melt is a deep golden brown basted in butter. No place else comes close to this melt. The atmosphere is deep dive nautical and it's a great place for a cold beer after work or lunch during the day. If you like dark dreary dives with GREAT food, this is the place for you. read more

Biscuits and gravy were delicious! Jessica was the best server, highly recommended Point Break for a great local breakfast if you're in the Point Loma area! read more

Had breakfast here while on vacation. Nothing fancy, but reasonably priced, quick and tasty. The entire place is a time capsule from multiple decades....like something from a Tarantino flic ...which, to me, is a good thing. Ellen was our waitress and was outstanding. We talked to her about the building's history, tattoos, and a few other topics. I'll be back the next time I'm in the area, for sure. read more

Late Sunday night, DIL found this place. Very interesting history on back of menu. Good steaks, Mahi & open faced roast beef plate. Great experience! Furball enjoyed it too! Does this area have any BAD places to eat? We haven't found one yet! read more

This place is THE GOODS! Shepard's pie, chicken pot pie...hell if they made a horse manure pie, it would be good. And the mozzarella logs? Fugedddaboutit!!! Best food in San Diego!

Food is awesome breakfast offerings - omlettes, scrambles, pancakes, coffee ... all done right. Staff is friendly and the place has dive charm ... an old A frame structure that used to be a Boll Wievel. read more

Amazing Service, Ambiance and Food. Linda, our server, was absolutely the kindest, friendliest and polite server I have had the opportunity to enjoy in a long, long time. Thanks YOU Linda and the Team at Point Break !!! Namaste, Lorraine read more

Our family had a great time eating here while on vacation. It is dog friendly, so we were able to bring our dog with us to eat. The menu had something for everyone. In our group we had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, a cheeseburger and fries, and some salads. All of the portions were very large, and we were very full. Everything tasted great, and the service was very friendly and fast. We would definitely eat here again. read more

The outside is right by the pacific ocean. A wide selection of lunch and breakfast items. Great if you want to eat healthy as well. Known for their fish and chips and philly cheese steak. I ordered the Super Healthy with egg whites, diced tomatoes , fresh basil, and fruit cup. It was absolutely amazing. read more

One of those perfect old-fashioned breakfast places. You don't need anything but great homemade cooking

Ugh, so sad. I live right across the street, and used to love this place (7+ yrs ago) I legitimately am walking out of there right now writing this review. I waited at the bar for quite a while and was greeted by a busy gal. She said she would be right back with me. For about 5 to 10 minutes she did not come back. The girl that was managing and was sitting at the end of the bar, closing out her tabs - sitting and dining with her boyfriend. As she noticed I was getting up to leave, she said, "I can get you a drink." I said, "No worries. Unfortunately, this is common service when we come here." She said, "OK" and sat down again. I asked, "That's ok for service to be bad here?" She said "Yes." with a smile. Also - $8 for a side salad? The prices are quite high for such a dive. read more

Okay, let me first start out by saying that our Waitress/Bartender Kim was FANTASTIC! Nothing but 5 Stars on her service. However, we did not go to Point Break for service. We went for Dinner and to say that it was not good would be an understatement. I went with something simple....Chicken Fried Steak. It was without a doubt the WORST Chicken Fried Steak I have ever had. Whatever grease that it was cooked in left a very bitter taste. The portion was very small and the Gravy was HORRIBLE! We also ordered the Calamari and Artichoke appetizers. They came with some mystery white sauce. The same sauce for both appetizers...... The overall pricing was high for the quality of the meal. I would NOT recommend this restaurant if you are a fan of Chicken Fried Steak. Again, I am only giving them the 1 Star based on the meal that I was served. Maybe the cook was just having a bad night? Would I go again to this restaurant.......NO! read more

Great little hole in the wall restaurant for breakfast! Friendly staff and fast service :)

Really great dive bar. Food is good and the bartenders are great. Don't let the pirate skeleton decor scare you. In a world where good dive bars are harder and harder to come by this place is worth a stop. Definitely a spot to spend a couple hours and enjoy an affordable drink. Anthony Bourdain would approve! read more

One of three great stops last month. Hit the jackpot! Point Break is a great place to stop for breakfast. Our server, Ellen, was great, couldn't be better. She told us all about PB past. While it looks like a shack out side, it's the same inside! LOL The place is older than me, but don't let it stop you! The food was classic. I had the Chili Cheese Omelette and my friend has pork chops and eggs (see pix). Both of us were well fed, as well as well entertained by Ellen with her tales of the old days at Point Break on Shelter Island. This is one place you'll want to go to get out of the standard chain breakfasts as well as the upstart restaurants around San Diego. This place is history! read more

Food was yummy. Ordered an American Breakfast that was eggs, perfect hash browns and buttered toast. Also, ordered a California Omelet that look and tasted so good. And for breakfast desert we split a short stack of buttermilk pancakes. The side order of black beans and refried beans really rounded out our protein intake goal. read more

Point Break - American Breakfast, California omelet, and Buttermilk Pancakes - American Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm going to go with 4 stars. I think their current rating is 3.5 which is about right. Place has good food at reasonable prices. Portions not that large which is fine now for me. Usually a dive place like this has larger portions but the food quality for breakfast was quite good. Would rather. have breakfast here than the hipster place "Ketch" across the street. I would come back which is the bottom line. Coffee was very good, eggs were a bit undersized (scrambled 3) felt like 2. Kind of a pet peeve of mine. Homemade corn beef hash was solid. Hash browns although from scratch are better from frozen. Wife had chorizo scramble and it was good. Service was very good too. Always wanted to come here on past visits to shelter island when I think it was called the Cattleman home of the steer burger but was afraid to go in. Not anymore!!! read more

Tried this place while I was staying in shelter island over the weekend! First of all, nobody really approaches you its open seating, the service is quite delayed and slow. But the food is actually pretty good I must say! The coffee sucks, it had a weird taste. I ordered the cinnamon and vanilla french toast but it tasted like regular French toast but the prices are quite cheap. And I tried the California omelette that was pretty good. Its a good breakfast spot if your looking for a cheaper option. The inside is kinda dark with Christmas lights and stuff, a bit odd. Might come back for the food. read more

One of the few places open for breakfast in the area. Website is misleading, would Anthony Bourdain approve it? Seemed more like a place Guy Fieri of the Food Network would visit. Yes, it's inside a dive bar- dark and mysterious. Wasn't even sure where the entrance was because it's on the side of the parking lot, not the street. Patio dining was not available at 7:30 a.m. on a Friday. I ordered Classic Eggs Benedict, if cooked correctly it's heavenly. On this day, they were "meh"- eggs were almost hard boiled, not lightly poached, English Muffin was toasted to a dark brown and pretty crispy. At least the ham was thinly sliced, not a big slab. Side of hash browns were very overcooked and dry. As other reviewers have mentioned, the server was friendly, no complaints about her. She kept my coffee refilled and checked on me a few times. As a local spot, it's fine. Perhaps this just wasn't one of their best mornings. The food was hot and edible but don't be fooled by the fancy food photos on the website. Just a local dive bar that serves food all day. read more

I was looking for a cute breakfast place to eat with my family, and I found point break and had to give it a try! Amazing Food and Amazing Service! Dog friendly and he got given treats too! Would definitely recommend Ellen as your server, who is the sweetest server you will ever meet. She is funny and she will always give your table a good laugh. Will always recommend this place for breakfast if you're here for vacation or just looking for a place to eat! The pancakes you will definitely have to try, and their orange juice is killer! 10/10 restaurant!!! Will definitely be coming back. read more

We absolutely LOVE this place! And it's gotta be the most dog friendly spot in SD! Ellen is our favorite server, she's so wonderful and takes good care of her customers! It's just good, honest comfort food and the atmosphere is classic old school San Diego! I feel like Ron Burgundy would have hung out here! read more

While in Point Loma, we googled places to eat that were "dog friendly". Point Break pops up, and has good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. We were skeptical at first, mainly because it looks like a little local dive bar, not that I have anything wrong with that and we weren't disappointed. We showed up at happy hour, and they have some great prices during that time. I had the cheeseburger, while the misses had the seared ahi...I know, odd for a bar. My burger was good and the wife said the seared ahi was phenomenal, portion was big, tasty, and at a great price. ($10) The beer was cold, and the staff was friendly, so we'd definitely would come back!! read more

To whom it may concern, this bar had a horrible smell, maybe the carpet needs to be cleaned, after all of the old racist faces shunned our group of Latin women and one male. We were asked to keep it down because people were complaining of our amazing personality on our weekend getaway. Are we drinking, paying and tipping in a library? Maybe our race had something to do with it, maybe our social status? We were playing a game that the bar provides, Cards For Humanity, why be hushed, why lower your voice, we are drinking in a bar having a great time! We left and did not tip, we were not welcomed in this bar. read more

I got the steak and eggs, and the steak was actually on par for the Australian Wagyu I got at SKT steakhouse - it was a ribeye and melted in my mouth. Our waitress was super friendly and service was great. read more

Local favorite. Love to come here and sit in the bar for martini and dinner. Simply the best, I hope it never changes.

Went with a friend, the place was packed! There was an event happening in town so lots of people everywhere. I had not been here in a while because I like trying new places, but decided to stop today on my way home because it's super close. The place a very dark and dreary, little light, almost resembles a cave or tunnel. Food was slow, but I expected that since it was crowded. However, what I did not expect was cold food!!! The potatoes was not even warm and the same for the blueberry pancakes. I do not mind waiting for food, but it needs to be good. Life is too short and food is too expensive to not be good. Not to mention, the place reminded me of a dog kennel, without the kennels. I counted 5 dogs inside and one was a Rottweiler. Don't get me wrong, I love animal, but this place is not big enough for that many dogs inside at the same time. Not to mention, you can smell the dog hair while eating. Before the check arrived a lady came to ask how our food was, and I hesitated to mentioned it, but she saw that I was holding back and kept asking so I told her. She seem concerned like she was going to do something , she left the table only to never return. The waitress brought the check and I paid and left a 20% tip because it was not the servers fault. I do not see coming back here again when there are so many other better choices. read more
