Locals rave about the homemade dishes at this San Diego landmark, serving classic American cuisine since 1944. Coffee cake like your grandmother made, omelets and fresh-baked pastries, bacon waffles, fresh-roasted turkey dinner, potato skins, patty melts, slow-roasted prime rib served Thursday-Sunday, chicken and dumplings and more keep San Diegans coming back. Showcased on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives for melt-in-your-mouth corned beef, Hob Nob truly pleases the palate. Enjoy breakfast served all day, as well as bottomless mimosas (limit of six) and daily specials. For a tasty, hearty slice of Americana, at a reasonable price, Hob Nob Hill tops the list!
