User Reviews for World Famous

I made reservations well in advance for the 4th of July when I arrived with my party there wasn't a reservation on file. Thankfully (I thought) we were able to be seated in the dining room rather than the patio as requested. The wait staff was unprofessional, spending the majority of their time with their buddies at the bar. It took 1 1/2 hours just to get the entree(s), only to return half of it because it was either cold or wasn't prepared as directed. However I didn't see one glass go empty if the patron was around the age of 21 and half looped. The food was ok when we finally did get it however it wasn't ok enough to spend so much time waiting for it. The was entertainment though. Three of the waitresses had a loud verbal argument as to whose drinks were up next at the bar. Entertaining but digustingly innapropriate for a white linen restaurant. I have been a patron of World Famous for over 15 years and previously would recommend it to my friends and family from out of town/state. I don't know what happened to the way this place is managed but this was horrible. The bar patrons spilled over into the dining area and were loud and obnoxious and the restaraunt staff was oblivious as to what was transpiring in their own workplace. I will never recommend World Famous again as a place to go while in San Diego. It now ranks right up their with the other hole-in-the-wall beach bars along Pacific Beach. The white linen needs to be replaced with brown paper so that the drunks can scribble their names on it.

I've been dining at World's Famous for years. Every vacation in San Diego ends with dinner there. Try the lobster bisque and the fish taco's. They have a great happy hour as well. Don't forget to go for the sunset!

This place is great, a San Diego beachfront original with great food. I hadn't been here in years and was meeting a friend at the beach for breakfast so I suggested World Famous as it is easy for everyone to find and a fun spot. So we meet up and all had great meals, service was great and the view and ambience speaks for itself. I had the french toast which is arguably the best I have ever had, I also tried my friends eggs bennedict which was super good. Good to know that World Famous is still doing it right and will of course be back again soon.

This is a happening place, so you will want to make a reservation for any weekend dining. Since we didn't, we eat in the bar which turned out to be a lot of fun. Even the service was attentive. The menu choices are wonderful and everything we ate was delicious.
