World Famous

My parents and I were staying at the hotel across the walkway and really enjoyed World Famous!We originally went there for dinner one night and had a great meal. We had some appetizers and I had the pasta--super good! Our waiter (forgetting his name ahhh) was quick with refills and patient with our orders. We then went there for breakfast on our last morning in the area. My parents actually went the day before (without me) and enjoyed it so much they wanted to come again. We got sat immediately on a Monday morning. I was debating between the pancakes or the acai bowl and our waitress recommended the acai bowl. I was a little hesitant because restaurant acai bowls can be so hit or miss but guys...this is one of the best I've ever had. It was LOADED and it was a hefty serving! Super refreshing. We'll definitely return when we're in the area again.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at World's Famous Cuisine in Pacific Beach, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. We sat on the patio, enjoying a stunning view of the beach, which set the perfect tone for the evening. What truly made the experience memorable was the outstanding service provided by Graham--his service truly stands out from the rest.Graham kept our drinks flowing, provided excellent suggestions on the menu, and maintained a positive attitude with a smile throughout the meal. We started with a bowl of clam chowder, which was packed with flavor and loaded with clams--absolutely delicious! The Lobster Bisque was another standout, rich and creamy with generous chunks of lobster. I enjoyed it so much that I had to take some home to share with my husband.For the main course, we ordered the fish and chips, and they did not disappoint. The fish was perfectly moist with a flaky, crisp batter, and the tartar and cocktail sauces were the perfect accompaniments. The dish was served with a generous portion of French fries, and the price was very reasonable for the quality and portion size.Overall, it was a fantastic meal, made even better by Graham's exceptional service. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy great food with a beautiful beachside view.Happy customerLaura SSan Diego local

On vacation with my granddaughter, my nephew recommended this restaurant. He ordered the Lobster bisque!! The best!!! I definitely recommend... lobster bisque!!!

Wow wow wow! This place was so delicious! A beautiful spot right off the beach with knowledgeable staff and delicious food! We got the potato crusted sea bass and it was fantastic! We also upgraded our salad to a lobster bisque and wowwww! So so delicious. I want that stuff by the bucket! The bread pudding was nice and hot, but I'd rather have more bisque. Definitely recommend for fine dining by the beach!

VibeWhats not to like? Seating is in view of the beach. This place has been here for a while.ServiceVery friendly and attentive. Made some recommendations.FoodClam chowder. Rich and creamy with lots of flavor. Best I have had in along time.CioppinoBroth has lots of flavor. Generous fish, large shrimp. This dish originated in San Francisco, this dish can give San Fran a run for their money.Taco Seafood Sampler Crispy cod, achiote shrimp and fritto calamari so tasty. Did not care for shrimp taco maybe it was the achiote, cooked perfectly but not for my palate.The coffee was very good.Love this place, will return for breakfast next time.

I went back because I couldn't resist! I miss the Salmon salad... I stopped by Saturday around 4pm and ate at a bar table that was available. My salad took almost an hour to come but my server was sweet and apologetic and brought me three diet cokes while I waited. Salmon salad was delicious as ever! I could have used more dressing but otherwise it was delish. I'm going back for my birthday Monday 8/12 and am hoping for the best!

Food was decent. I got the Spicy Prime Rib Skillet which was phenomenal. The service was good, but the star of the show was the view.

When to world famous for dinner and the vibes are amazing, the patio is so cute and a great ocean view. Even better they had the heaters going but still the ocean breeze. The show stopper was the ravioli, must get. I liked the short rib but the asparagus was ok, mushy and not appetizing but the flavor of the dish overall was good. The salmon was 5/5, a little spicy but had great flavor and seasoning. Highly recommend if you want to eat ocean side!

World Famous has been my PB go-to for 10 years. I was super stoked when my wife and I booked our honeymoon stay at Surfer Beach Hotel because of its proximity to World Famous. It's the stereotypical beach side resort-ish seafood restaurant, but without the uppity ness that comes from La Jolla or Downtown. Prices are reasonable and portions are substantial. Everything was solid as usual (we even ordered Brussels as an app) and the ambiance was spot on. There's something about sitting in an old beachside restaurant, looking out to the ocean, and dark wood booths that just brings comfort. Glad to see the character of the building hasn't changed and happy to enjoy another quality meal at World Famous.

I started coming to World Famous in 1979 on Thomas and have frequented often and recommended it ever since. However, we ate there on Saturday night and were very disappointed. The two orders were grilled salmon and Prime Rib. The salmon was good and so was the lobster bisque, great as usual, but it looks like the bowl was downsized. Very small portion. The rolls that came with our soup and salad were stale. We asked for an extra bread basket at an extra cost and the bread in that was fresh. (Yeah!)However, I ordered a medium Prime Rib and it was delivered one that was well done and dry. Our waitress Maddie (who was very good) agreed it was over done and took it back. Unfortunately, she came back and told us that the kitchen ran out of Prime Rib.I need to reconsider coming back in the future. Kind of put a damper on our big night out.
