Hash House a Go Go

Top choice in San Diego


This buzzing bungalow with its old-school dining room, busy bar and breezy patio dishes up rib-sticking 'twisted farm food' straight from the American Midwest. Towering Benedicts, large-as-your-head pancakes and – wait for it – hash seven different ways will keep you going for the better part of the day.

Other menu stars include succulent sage-fried chicken, a stuffed burger and an award-winning meatloaf sandwich.
