"This is one of the reasons we especially love breakfast at Hob Nob Hill: a warm, gooey, nut-smothered pecan roll."

"Turkey dinner is on the menu seven days a week."

"Note the time on the huge wall clock. We tend to eat at Early Bird hours anyway, but on this day at Hob Nob Hill we had a good excuse: we were still on Eastern Time. Note also the pleasant art on the walls and lovely chandeliers."
Michael Stern
"There is always coffee cake available for breakfast. On this day, it was blackberry."
Michael Stern
"Both Corned Beef Hash and Roast Beef Hash were available for breakfast. We chose the former, of which here is a close up. "

""Do you serve regular or Belgian waffles?" we asked our waitress. "We have the old-fashioned kind," she said, adding, "You know, it is hard to find a thinner waffle nowadays." Amen to that, sister! We have often gone on record as preferring the traditional small-tread waffle over the bloated Belgian. Hob Nob Hill's is a beauty, here blanketed with chopped pecans and waiting for butter and syrup."
Michael Stern
"Homestyle food? Nope, Hob Nob Hill serves a style of meal unlike home. Here is the cuisine of the mid-century Southern California coffee shop. A cultural treasure."
Michael Stern
"Hob Nob Hill has been a San Diego favorite for sixty years. On weekends especially, people waiting for a precious table will often line up out the front door."
Michael Stern
"All dinners come with a choice of salad: Waldorf, Caesar, spinach, etc. We love this classic globe of Waldorf, made especially fine by the chilled fork that is presented with it."
