Best WLM Reviews

The views of this place, coupled with the excellent service of Lauren, delicious food, fun company all created a very nice and relaxing time! Had the tasty California breakfast burrito, extremely tasty Bloody Mary! My kids had an amazing time here and enjoying the views!
We enjoyed not only the views, friendly staff but the food was great. I will definitely be going back on any future trips and would recommend it to anyone. The key Lime Pie was awesome. Not many beers to choose from but again everything was great. Crab cakes, clam chowder, fish tacos were all amazing!
We really just go Wednesdays for Lobster Tacos (starting at 4PM) and they’re only $3 each! Their Burger is also so delicious! Their fries are nice and crispy too, soo yummy! Also my boys loved the Fish and Chips. There is great outdoor seating and seating along the boardwalk! Can’t wait to come back and try the breakfast!
Great place. The food is upscale. The food presentation is spectacular. All the different flavors. There was something for everyone. Vegetarian. Sea food. Beef.
This was really delicious! Had the fish tacos at World Famous and they did not disappoint. This was the first time having soft flour tortillas for me, and I preferred it to the hard shell ones I’m used to. The tacos were also a decent size, and the pricing was great! Highly recommend.
Loved eating at World famous - we went twice. It was right next door to our hotel so that was great. The food was very good. Lobster bisque was super good. Had the tequila drink - refreshing. Watching sunset was a nice touch.
Came at lunch time, got seated quickly, got our food super quick. I am not so sure the waitress was a fan of us, but still was quick to get our order in and our check. No real complaints at all!
Everything tasted amazing. The peanut butter was weird on the acai bowl. The shrimp was "would order again" and calamari was okay but "wouldn't order again" the fries were amazing and the bowl was fought over at the end of who would get the last bite!
Decided to try World Famous after flying in to San Diego. We wanted to dine somewhere on the beach, but to avoid the bar scene, and this place was perfect! We had the Capellini California (garlic sauce only, no clam, and added chicken) and the Surfside Shrimp Scampi, as well as a glass of wine. Everything from making the reservation online, checking in, the food, the service, and the VIEW was wonderful. If we are ever back in San Diego again, we will definitely be back!
