“ My Family and I are from out of town but we go to San Diego a lot! We wanted something different and more cozy to done so we went to Jennings House Eatery a few days before Christmas and it’s was a wonderful experience. We were serviced by the owner herself and she was just wonderful. The food was delicious, very simple menu but everything we read sounded wonderful. The Service was great, and the atmosphere if you are looking to feel more at home and enjoy eating either inside or as if you are in your backyard then this spot is for you! Please keep in mind that it is a mom and pop type of restaurant so it’s going to be worth the wait. All I know when I’m visiting San Diego again we will be returning. Also, all pastries are home made and EXTREMELY DELICIOUS!! Once again thank you for your hospitality we really enjoyed our visit. ”
“ Fresh homemade style dishes that will soothe and comfort you. I got a flu from a long haul flight and a bit exhausted. Their food made me feel so much better in no second and lighted me up. Happy that I made a visit! ”
“ Beautiful outdoor setting in an old, historic home. Food choices are wonderful. Service is very good. The owner is on site and very attentive. One of my favorite places for coffee and breakfast. ”
“ Everything was great. Couldn't be more convenient to visit a local business with real people behind and in front of the register. I'd order espresso drinks here again, and I'm not big on those but they do it as well as anyone. The lox bagel I will be getting here regularly, you get a nice fruit assortment on the side without asking. I was going to a place around the corner but they started cutting corners so i went exploring. I'm gonna go with this operation. The home team. Thank you JHE. ”
“ This is a small business open in its current location for app. 9 years. The atmosphere is homey and comfortable which matches the home cooked feeling of the food. The food is high quality and delicious! The owner, Kathy, is friendly and a highlight of the experience.
