Lucky's Breakfast

North Park, San Diego$Recommended

A North Park diner run single-handedly by its owner, Lucky, who cooks, serves and runs the register himself; dishes run about $3-4 each with an old-school diner feel behind an exterior that looks more like a Chinese takeout spot.

    “Lucky is a one man show is does practically every task, from being the cashier to server to the boss man!”

    Owner Lucky runs the entire diner himself -- cashier, server and cook -- so service can be slow, but dishes run about $3-4 each with an old-school diner feel behind an exterior that looks more like a Chinese takeout spot.
