I love reading about historic restaurants. It always catches my fancy to find out about the glamorous, charming, and unique eating establishments of days gone by. Sadly, most of the famous historic restaurants in Southern California closed, burned down, or were demolished years ago. That’s why I’m always delighted to discover eateries that have survived since the mid-20th century.
Although some of the most famous historic California restaurants are in Los Angeles, San Diego County is also rich in culture because of its long and diverse history. One of my favorite historic restaurants in San Diego is Hob Nob Hill Restaurant. Celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, this charming restaurant is surprisingly obscure among locals, yet its delicious menu of traditional American fare, long hours, and adorable retro décor make it a destination you won’t want to miss.
