Shout out to my Aunt Rachel who suggested we go to the Studio Diner in San Diego. This diner has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives which is a television show on the Food Network. We were pretty excited to have an opportunity to go to one of the places featured on that show because the food always looks SO good.
Parking was a bit of a hassle because there are only a handful of spaces right in front of the diner itself, we ended up parking on the side of the street. We were surprised at some of the quirky names on the menu. The "Boob" was something with a chicken breast, and "Jewish Penicillin" was what they called traditional chicken noodle soup. There was a wide variety of food ranging from seafood to more traditional diner food like burgers and breakfast.
Ultimately I decided to go for the Baja Burger with a side of Clam Chowder and Rachel went with the Club Sandwich. As you can see the burger came out with a generous helping of fries. Unfortunately neither the clubhouse or the clam chowder are pictured because the food blog pictures were a bit of an afterthought (we were both hungry). The burger was decent, nothing too special. The guacamole didn't have much flavor and the salsa wasn't of the spicy variety. Rachel's clubhouse sandwich was good, as was the clam chowder.
Overall, if you're looking for a decent place to eat at any hour this is a good place to go. However, if you're looking for a gourmet restaurant you should look elsewhere.
