Rudford's Restaurant

Rudford's Restaurant, an institution since 1949, is one of the few remaining historic diners in San Diego. Don't come here expecting haute cuisine. Instead, get ready for big portions of no-frills comfort food at reasonable prices, 24 hours a day. Unlike East Coast-style diners, the menu is only a few pages long, but patrons don't seem to mind. Try biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, a turkey club or a even a salad. Located in the North Park area, it's just a few miles from Qualcomm Stadium. The bottomless coffee just might come in handy after a festive football game.
