World Famous

Editorial Review

The lines are long at this local, beachfront favorite, but boardwalk people-watching makes waiting for a table very entertaining.

We've eaten at World Famous multiple times now and the food, drinks, and service have been good all the time. The section near the boardwalk gives a great view during the day and good sunset watching in the early evening. Inside seating also has a view, but with a few more obstacles to look past/around. Highly recommend reservations and if you don't want a long wait, go early for an evening...

Yum! Friend and I shared the fried shrimp starter and it came out before our entree, was ample in size (3 large shrimp), and delish. We then shared the bacon-wrapped scallops. Did I mention bacon? Scallops were huge and bacon was done to perfection. It was a great meal in a fun, beachfront atmosphere. We had an 8:30 pm res (earliest we could get with a our late Open Table booking), but we...

Brought our mom here visiting from out of state. They sat us Oceanside even though we were an hour early in the best seats for a view in house. The server was awesome, food was excellent and we just had an overall amazing experience!

This place has a great sunset view. My sea bass was way too salty - couldn't eat it - but the veggies were great and the server was excellent. My husband said his prime rib was very good. I wish we had come earlier for the happy hour as the small plates looked good and were half off.

Located on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach, World Famous has an awesome beach view. People watch on the covered patio while dining on lobster Benedicts, omelettes and indulging in a Bloody Mary or two. It's casual, upbeat and family-friendly. The buzz will hide the squeal from your little ones without anyone flinching.©10Best.com

Though casual in nature, you may be faced with a wait on the weekends if you don't plan accordingly. World Famous is popular with locals for good reason. Patio seating is adjacent to the beach boardwalk where not only are the ocean views relaxing, the people-watching is entertaining. All-day dining is on offer with the kitchen closing at 11:00pm. There's a light bar menu and the restaurant menu...
