Food Scene

This is a small chain of restaurants, you can either eat inside or go thru the drive-thru. Very casual, large portions...our fave is the Breakfast Burrito

Great, organic food...there are several locations along the North Coast Highway...there can be a line for breakfast, but worth it. Casual, they use all natural ingredients, locally sourced food, coffee is wonderful!!

Drinks & Nightlife

Super fun spot! There is a large indoor area for food, drinks, they have TVs so you can watch sports. The large patio area has firepits and casual seating, with entertainment almost every night, from chill and mellow to full-on Motown/Dance music. The nice thing I have noticed is even though this is a bar and grill, I've seen kids enjoying dancing in the dance area with parents, along with Girls Night Out groups, folks from their 20's to their 80's enjoying date night, women out for a glass of wine after book club....you name it, this place has it. Also convenient to the Coaster train, and there are a few parking lots nearby...

Sightseeing

This is a wild animal park north of the City of San Diego, serving as a sanctuary for many different species. Food can be a little pricey, I'd suggest packing a picnic lunch. You can walk, or tour the area in open carts, but check the website for updated information and to answer questions...sdzsafaripark.org
