Background Illustration for Restaurants

Once a neighborhood of tuna-fishing families, this famous peninsula is now a wealthy enclave where residents enjoy charming neighborhood restaurants, and new upscale dining spots clustered in walkable Liberty Station, and Harbor and Shelter islands. Although there’s some fine dining here, most eateries are casual and cater to laid-back locals, sun-loving tourists, and sailing enthusiasts.

Jimmy's Famous American Tavern

$$ | Point Loma

Tucked bayside between Harbor and Shelter islands, Jimmy's Famous (JFAT for short) draws hungry boaters and sea lovers with its marina views and elevated backyard-barbecue faves like the Cowboy burger with crispy onion rings and pecanwood bacon. The interior blends varnished wood with industrial-chic I beams and garage-style doors, plus there's a patio facing the water. Happy Hour 3–6 draws a crowd for $10 cocktails and $13 burgers. Bottles of the company’s zesty chipotle ketchup can now be purchased to take home.
