The Hob Nob omelette was one of the best omlettes I've ever had! Did I mention the blueberry coffee cake is to die for!!! I would recommend this awesome place to anyone looking for an amazing breakfast in SD
I have never had a bad meal at Hob Nob. They spend the extra effort to prepare most ingredients on site. This is not a "foody" restaurant, it serves straight forward American cuisine. If you want expensive small plate entrees, go the the tourist traps down on the waterfront. I have had excellent service, even though I am dining alone and not buying the most expensive meal. Keep up the good work
Great for breakfast
Love the coffee cake and the crab benedicts. They have great customer service from the manager to the waitresses. Come and check it.
More than you would expect. Don't be fooled the appearance. This isn't a simple diner. This place has great food and service. It can be an upscale evening with a nice wine selection, or a simple turkey sandwich with a Coke. I have been here twice and had a wonderful experience both times. Don't pass this place by if you are going to be in San Diego.

We had a great brunch. Great food, fast and friendly service. Check out the eye openers.
Great Breakfast!!!. My wife and I both loved every bite! We can't wait to get back to San Diego and when we do Hob Nob Hill is definitely on our list. Staff was great and informative, not only about the menu but the surrounding area as well. I love talking to locals and exploring their favorites in the area.
Best Home cooked meal at a restaurant. When coming into San Diego i was told to visit the Hob Knob Hill restaurant as it was one of the oldest, and best places to eat.
They were right, watching the tv show DDD before i went i knew what to expect and it didn't disapoint, i ordered the club and it was huge, stacked high full of ham and turkey, and the crinkle cut fries were perfect.
Best house made Caesar dressing as well, its home style meals are like how mom and grandma cook, great place.
Will be back if i'm in SD again.
Great Fish Fillet Breakfast!. Hob Nob's fish fillet breakfast is outstanding -- tender, thinly breaded with a crisp flavorful cornmeal crust. I get it everytime I have breakfast there and I am not known as a big fish eater. They have maintained the quality for the 20 years I have been eating there. If they are serving orange muffins or cherry coffeecake that day, try them. Mmmmmm!
Great Breakfast. My family had breakfast here today....good stuff! Coffee cake..wonderful, waffle best I ever had. Had homemade sausage (Italian) & eggs that were wonderful. Real reasonable prices too. Place was busy.
Classic old school place for traditional style American Breakfast. I suggest the coffee cake as a warm up to breakfast.
Hob Nob Hill is the place to go if you’re looking for an old school coffee shop dating back to 1944. Their coffee cake is just like the one your grandmother used to make (or you wish she did).
We found about this place from Guy on DDD, so we had to experience it. We came in for breakfast and where there at 730a (jet lag). My wife had the crab cakes with holindase & I had the breakfast burrito with aged beef. Both of them tasted outstanding to top it off, they have fresh squeezed OJ :) and great tasting coffee. Service didn't dissapoint either, it was topnotch & showed the staff truly enjoyed what they do.
I wish we had room for dessert as it's all homemade.
Really loved our breakfast at Hob Nob Hill! Can’t believe it took me so many years until now to discover this historic place. The benedicts and hash browns were great! The service was so friendly and amazing.
Everything was so good, we got 3 signature cocktails, all excellent and the food was fantastic. Peppercorn butter on crispy waffles with juicy fried chicken and the bacon mushroom spinach quiche was fire. Will def go back! 10/10! Service was also stellar
10/10 recommend Hob Nob Hill. Karina ( not sure how to spell her name, sorry!) was our server/bar maiden. Wonderful attitude and had great recommendations for food. I had my first Monte Cristo and it was incredible! As well as the house coffee which I regretfully did not take a photo of. Even so, was a phenomenal coffee beverage. Thank you so much! Will recommend and definitely be coming back.
We flew in from Hawaii and went straight here. We all loved what we had. The parking was a little tricky but the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable.
The pork chop and eggs was wonderful. Service keep the coffee flowing during the whole meal. Wish the oatmeal raisin cookies didn't have nuts (pecans) in them, but no one is perfect. Excellent place for breakfast/brunch whether by yourself or with company.
Wow this place was very surprising. I wasn't expecting to walk into such a nice atmosphere. The reminder me of the aria hotel. The service was great. We got chicken fried steak and eggs with biscuits and gravy. I will give it a 9/10. They have a display case with tons of great looking desserts that I definitely want to try next time. The breakfast comes with toast,biscuits or muffin. Server was very fast and attendive. We will definitely be back again. They have a very nice looking bar as well and I believe bottomless memoses for around fifteen dollars.
Everything is just perfection!
From the nice atmosphere to the exceptional service, the delicious meals and the heavenly cocktails.. highly recommend the meatloaf 😋😋😋
definitely deserves more than 5 stars.
Thank you for making our last night in San Diego so enjoyable and memorable.
The food doesn't disappoint, the mimosas are bottomless and the atmosphere is comfortable, calm and a great spot for brunch. The service however could use a little tweaking. I will chalk it up to them recently reopening (from what I hear) and new waitstaff. We will be back for the comfort food they provide and I will be sure to let you know how it goes. 😉
This place is legit. Endless food options, can get half serves if you can’t decide between sweet or savoury. Our server KC was fantastic. 11/10 would recommend.
