    My left over biscuits & gravy for afternoon snack.

    Food is fresh and delicious. Had a great iced matcha that was perfect not too sweet. Loved their biscuits & gravy. Not to fatty but very flavorful and stellar homemade biscuits. Incredible history on the walls. Could spend hours reading all the pictures. Portion sizes big, had some leftover biscuits & gravy. Yum! Took a pomegranate scone home for my midnight snack. Service was great!

    Cool breakfast place-- oldest home in Point Loma. We had the Breakfast Combo (french toast, eggs, bacon) and Lox bagel which were delicious. The Vietnamese coffee was ok, and the Strawberry latte was great. Service was friendly. Mid price range. Nice backyard patio for outdoor dining.

    We ate here two times and after an underwhelming experience the first we came back because it's a quiet place to eat. This place is very understaffed which they have been for a very long time and the stress on the current employees bounces onto their customers. We felt offended that the server said he'd allow us to sit the two of us at a 4 person table but if a group of 4 came, they'd have to seat us inside instead. Of course it's a business but anyone who chooses to eat there is a pure dollar sign and not a place that cares about their food. In a place where there are many options to eat, we won't be back. There was a group of 3 who asked to sit at a table where there were 6 seats and the server said no, didn't even give them the option. They got up and left. The food itself is very average but we enjoyed the quiet ambiance and the order from QR code.

    My wife grew up in Point Loma/OB & I've lived in the area for 6 years. After the many years of driving by the old victorian style home we finally decided to try "Jennings house eatery". We walked in & asked to be seated. The owner Cathy asked us if we were familiar with a "QR code" menu. We said we would try it but it was not user friendly &/or easy to navigate so we opted for traditional menus. We ordered an iced coffee & orange juice. What made us walk out the door was this. Cathy brought us 2 cups of water that were warm! My wife then asked for some ice. Cathy then brought us some ice that had black spots in it! (Maybe mold?) my wife decided to go up front & pay for the drinks we ordered. We then went to "Breakfast republic" which always has great service & food. It is very unfortunate to not have actually tried the food at this establishment but first impressions are EVERYTHING especially considering we told her it was our first time here!

    Came across Jenning's on our way to La Playa Books next door. Stopped in around 11am on a Sunday and asked for outside seating. 2 hour parking on the street, homey vibes, and great weather drew us in to grab lunch. Staff was super kind, QR code ordering is convenient and we were asked if that was okay with us after we were sat. Latte was hot, delicious, and had many options for flavorings and milk! Food was fresh and tasty, loved the homey vibes of this place. Will be back to try more from their menu.

    My partner and I came here on a Saturday morning on our way home from a nice getaway in SD. When I first walked up I was pleased with the exterior charm- the place looked comfortable with outdoor dining and cute foliage on the balcony. We got seated outside right away as there weren't many people dining there. We were told to scan the QR code for ordering. This process was mostly simple, a little confusing since each person has to scan it on their own phones to order and it's unclear whether the orders will be linked or not until the last screen. There were elderly patrons at a nearby table that were struggling with this process. At the end, you can opt to pay for your yourself or the entire table, all from your phone. This means there is really no table service and therefore I believe it should affect the tip. We ordered a coffee and a french toast plate each. My drink came first, followed by our food, followed later by his drink. The food did not look appetizing when it arrived and I couldn't finish my plate. The french toast did not taste fresh, the eggs seemed rehydrated or something. We didn't actually hear the sounds of a typical kitchen and are fairly certain our food was microwaved. Overall, the staff we interacted with were sweet and kind. There could be major benefits in small changes like adding sun shades to the outdoor dining area (we had to relocate inside due to sun), music throughout to improve ambiance, maybe doing away with QR ordering and leaving it for menu viewing only as an option. This restaurant could be a vibrant staple attracting people to a highly walkable street full of great independent shops. Just needs a little TLC.

    Came here after the airport to try it out.. Bagel sandwich was phenomenal and feels like home in here. Service was outstanding and the owner is amazing! Really made us feel special for coming by. Will be a regular now.

Once seated, though, we sat for about 20 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. I eventually had to flag someone down just to get water. We then waited even longer for our server to take our order. Because service was so slow, I ordered all of our drinks and food at once since I wasn't sure when we'd see our server again. What stood out even more was watching a couple seated next to us receive immediate attention. They were greeted, served water right away, and the woman was offered a purse hook. Meanwhile, we were sitting there with our purses shoved beside us and weren't offered the same courtesy. It may seem like a small detail, but combined with the lack of attention, it made us feel overlooked. The drinks came out quickly, and the chicken satay and mac and cheese were decent. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out food-wise either. The highlight of the evening was definitely the live music. The performers were fantastic and created a great atmosphere that honestly was the only enjoyable part of the evening.

So I am glad we decided to share the biscuits and gravy but let me run down each thing. Bloody Mary Flight: Honestly every single one was amazing. My favorite was definitely the pickle Mary! Everything tasted so delicious and was garnished beautifully. Well worth the 22 dollars. Biscuits and Gravy: Absolute perfection of comfort food. The biscuits were so fluffy and well seasoned. The gravy was also soooo good, just like my mom makes. The sausage in it was also cooked so well and juicy. I've never tried mashed potatoes with the biscuits and gravy but it worked very well! Orange Juice: Not a fan really, not pulpy enough and I wasn't a fan of the flavor. Overall this is definitely a must visit! I will definitely be back.

I decided to try the rib and eggs and I have to admit, I was very happy with my choice. The ribs were lightly sauced with a thin sauce that worked well. The meat was tender and had great flavor. I just didn't like the grass they put on top!lol The eggs were okay. I added cheese but I barely had any compared to my friends. The cantaloupe was a nice sweet treat afterwards. I tried my friend's meal and they were also good which they also enjoyed their meals overall. I also tried a one of the Bloody Mary flights which was the only tequila shot with pork skin on top. I do not like savory and spicy drinks but that particular shot was decent and was hot sauce for the pork skin. Overall, the experience was nice and the food was good especially for the value.
