Easily the BEST BREAKFAST in San Diego! The waitress Ana is so friendly and handles the whole restaurant with ease. The food!! The food is amazing they have hash browns with peppers and onions... so good! And the BEST BISCUITS AND GRAVY ever!! A real gem and they open at 7 for you early birds. Came here once last week and now I go everyday. Seriously so good!

I was told by multiple people that I had to try the well recommended Biscuits and Gravy (2 biscuits halved with sausage gravy) at The Old Townhouse Restaurant. So yesterday on my day off, I ventured back. I went in 45 minutes before they closed (closed at 2pm on a Thursday), felt bad about the timing so I asked the ever so awesome Anna if it was too late to order and she smiled, welcomed me in and said of course not. At that time it was not super busy (how I like things), so I ordered my food, ate it and was literally out of the restaurant within 20’ish minutes. This photo of the B&G is probably the most bland photogenic dish I’ve posted to date but I’ll tell you there’s nothing bland about this plate. Sometimes the best things are hidden in plain sight. If you’re in the mood for old school comfort diner food, this will hit that spot and then definitely take you way behind. This gravy could easily be sold as a soup in a cup to go by itself and those biscuits were like fluffy clouds. I’ve tried biscuits in the past (most times super dry) and I’ve almost choked to death. The texture with these Old Townhouse Restaurant biscuits were perfection with ample amount of gravy (which is key) to make the whole plate delicious!!!

Just what I imagine a classic old-school diner is, a bit with around the edges, just perfect for breakfast. Good coffee, great food and really friendly staff. I loved it!
