    In 1959, Harry Rudolph moved to California and opened this blue-collar joint, known for its straightforward all-day breakfast menu. If you’ve never had eggs Benedict on a waffle, now’s your chance. Read more

    Our Dad, Harry was an amazing athlete & coach. He was an avid golfer & shared his skill & enthusiasm with many.These "eat at harry's" golf balls that he handed out regularly showed his sense of humor!

    Best hash browns in town. Love the fresh spinach in the eggs Florentine. Service is always great, and they have Cafe Moto coffee. One of the best spots for breakfast in San Diego.

    Try the super veggie omelet with egg whites. Prepare to be very happy! If there's a wait, try to sit at the counter. Much faster and fun to watch them cooking and serving.
