This place was great! We got the bottle of champagne & oysters off the Happy Hour menu, along with a couple of the 5 margaritas. We split the Totchos and had the Friday prime rib. All the food was amazing. I would highly recommend

During a recent stop in San Diego, I had the pleasure of dining at Harley Gray on my way out of town—and it was the perfect way to end the trip. Located in Mission Hills, this charming neighborhood spot offers a calm yet upbeat atmosphere that sets the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Behind the bar, Nick stood out for his personable service and quick drinks. Speaking of drinks, let’s talk about that Bloody Mary. A spicy kick without the full-on fire, and garnished just right. The lilikoi raspberry frozen drink was dangerously good. One sip and I was ready to extend my trip. The menu includes thoughtful nods to Hawaii, which I especially appreciated. These items included loco moco and the macadamia banana pancakes. Though I appreciated the nods to Hawaii I opted for the French toast—and it did not disappoint. Cooked just right with a balanced texture and full of flavor, it was both comforting and satisfying. With friendly service, island inspired flavors, and a vibe that makes you wan to linger longer, Harley Gray is a standout for breakfast or brunch in San Diego. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s well worth the visit.

Whenever I visit San Diego, this is a must stop on Lobster Thursday night! The staff always nice, I get my usual spot at the bar and enjoy. Get there for Happy Hour, Appetizer, and beer, then dinner. Summer time is awesome too, when they open the windows and walls for the open air.

Came here on a Friday at 1pm for brunch and bottomless and we had a great experience. The staff was especially attentive and friendly. We were a little late for our reservation but they didn’t make a fuss about it which was a relief. 10 for bottomless is a great deal! I also got the French toast to eat

Another incredible experience on my travels across the country. Adrienne (?) was very attentive and made great conversation. Met some people, had some drinks (excellent sangria!), tried ceviche for the very first time and will do so again. Looking forward to coming back here soon.

Great brunch at Harley Gray! Very friendly and quick service. We sat on the dog friendly patio. We started with the ahi tuna poke which was very tasty. For entrees we had the lobster Benedict and loco moco. Everything was very yummy. Recommend, they have a great drink menu as well!

Friday we went to Harley Gray to celebrate my best friend's new path. I've been wanting to try them out and this seemed like a perfect opportunity. The restaurant is a nice intimate size and has such a warm and inviting atmosphere. I made a reservation for our group because I am a reservation person but depending on your party I think it is suitable to walk-in. The hostess was lovely on the phone and in person. I had to call to let her know we were running late. Once we arrived we were immediately sat at a nice table by the side door. Our server who was training greeted us brought water and took our drinks and appetizer order. He was great and was being shadowed by his manager, Manny, who was also personable and friendly. We started with the Billionaire Margs doubles obviously and they went down refreshingly and tasty. We each had two. Our appetizers came next. We had the calamari and the crispy fried artichokes. Both were delicious and made perfectly. For our entrees I ordered the pork schnitzel which was the perfect choice. It was outstanding! V ordered the mahi mahi which was also done well. It was light and flavourful. C ordered the Harley Gray burger which she said was great. I couldn't try I don't eat red meat. I'll definitely be back for more schnitzel! I'm a huge restaurant dessert person! I don't really eat dessert at home and I make dessert even less so when I'm out I love to sample. I ordered the Apple Brown Betty which my mom always made. It was so darn good! It wasn't cloyingly sweet either. V ordered her favourite tiramisu and said it was perfect. C ordered the s'mores which I tried and it was good but too sweet for my taste. We finished up our cocktails, chatted and digested, and then settled up the check. I love a restaurant that allows you to sit and eat and enjoy the company you're with and doesn't hover. Thank you, HG, we had a fabulous meal and evening!

Had my birthday brunch here 5 years ago and been a customer ever since. 5 stars, service is always amazing. 10 endless mimosas on weekends. Amazing choices of breakfast. The bacon is always perfectly crispy. Never a let down here, one of my favorite brunch places.
