Tobey’s 19th Hole…more meals

Thanks for stopping to read this food blog, named mmm-yoso!!! Kirk is out and about and having a wonderful time with His Missus.  Ed (from Yuma) and Tina are living the good life (in Yuma) and Cathy is writing today.

Here we are, in beautiful San Diego, 4200 square miles of a County, with thousands of places to eat or grab a snack.  Everyone has a place close to home or close to work and even a place close to where they relax.

IMG_2009 IMG_2011 IMG_1999   I've written about Tobey's 19th Hole, the coffee shop/diner located at the start and finish of the Balboa Park Golf Course since 1934, only two times, even though it's where we have a regular stop for breakfast, the occasional lunch and where we take out of town guests for a small meal and  IMG_2003 great view of downtown, even on overcast days. IMG_6065The delightfully simple breakfast of 2 French toast with 2 eggs (over easy) and 2 sausage ($9) is filling and tasty.

IMG_6064Alternately, you can ask for a 1-1-2 with a pancake ($ 6) and still be satisfied because the pancake is so large and the one ( if scrambled) egg is fluffy and light.

IMG_6067 The breakfast sandwich (toasted English muffin with sausage, egg and cheese, $5.50; substitute ham for an additional 50¢) is a tasty, filling $6 meal. IMG_2007 There was a day last week when we saw the sandwich board and each of us knew what we would order.  IMG_1998 We briefly thought of sitting at the counter, but since it was a weekday and not crowded, stuck with a 'view' seat.

IMG_1983IMG_1985The $10.50 option came with soup or salad and the Navy Bean soup (house made, of course) was filled with chunks of bacon and so very tasty.  The salad was fresh and crisp and standard.  

IMG_1987 The house made meatloaf is a favorite. It's juicy, soft and two slices  makes it a plentiful meal.  Instead of doing (either choice) as a 'sandwich' with top and bottom breads covered with gravy) we each opted for the toasty garlic cheese bread rolls-seen in the background. IMG_1988IMG_1994 The hot beef sandwich is filled with a lot of tender roast beef.  Of note, the mashed potatoes are real and the fresh vegetables of the day were wonderful.  

A great place for food, views and the ability to have a quiet conversation.  Other bloggers have been here, too: cc, DennisFaye and Mary.
