Thanks for stopping to look at mmm-yoso!!! a food blog of San Diego and other places. Cathy is writing today; Kirk and Ed(from Yuma) are just too busy.
One of those mornings when it was hot and humid before 9 a.m. and The Mister and I thought going closer to the water would be a good idea. The drive West was nice and it seemed cooler on Point Loma. The rather ubiquitous frontage of Harbor Town Pub (located on Rosecrans, about two blocks from the Harbor and from the entrance to Shelter Island) makes it easily overlooked, but being open daily at 8 a.m., it's an easy breakfast stop, especially for locals. The menu remains the same on weekends, so basically Brunch is available daily.After downloading my photos, I realized that somehow the camera phone was set on a sepia toned filter. I apologize for the 'artsy' look.Harbor Town is located in the Portuguese neighborhood of San Diego and so linguisa is on the menu. I chose a Linguisa Scramble ($10.95) for my meal. Eggs, tomato, green onion, cilantro, Cotija cheese and a chipotle cream were all mixed with a good amount of the smoked, garlicy Portuguese sausage. A topping of crispy tortilla strips was the perfect texture that this hearty (and large portioned) dish needed.The Mister has been trying variations of chicken and waffles ever since encountering 'the original version' a couple of years ago. The version here ($11.95) fit the bill; large portions of boneless, skinless white meat chicken is dipped in waffle batter and then fried. Served with a biscuit, eggs and home fries, this hearty meal was really good.
There are several other scrambles, a banana bread french toast as well as a high end country fried steak also available for breakfast...great quality and a non-touristy vibe.
Harbor Town Pub 1125 Rosecrans Street San Diego 92107 (619) 2241321 Open daily 8 a.m.-1 a.m. Website
Country fried steak? Ooh, yeah I want to try that, plus the linguiça.
I've always wondered about this place too.

It's an angus steak, cc...higher end. Harbor Town has been there since 2011 and seems to be quite popular without much advertising. Good for them- and us...the food is nice.

So, you've been here, eh? The photos were totally inadvertent...but a different look for the post; thanks.

Harbor Town catered a yelp Halloween party I went to and I ate a bunch of their wings. :-) I posted about the wings at www.hungryones.com
The sepia look might look even cooler if you make them black and white...

Those over-easy eggs... I'm getting really hungry.

I finally got around to seeing your Halloween post, Soo. What a great way to sample some specialties. I usually use Yelp to look for hours and a map. (I'm going to try that black and white with some food photos (not Rose Parade floats though)-thanks).
I do crave runny eggs, Dennis. They do breakfast well at Harbor Town.
