San Diego American (Traditional) Restaurants

Steak

1. Gaglione Bros.

Neighborhood: Midway

This is the best cheesesteak (so far) in San Diego.  Even though I am a fan of the cheesesteaks over at the Philadephia Sandwich Co. in Kearny Mesa, Gaglione's would trump their steaks.  What...

2. Albie's Beef Inn

I love this steak joint so much I invited 15 friends here for my birthday this year.  No better way to ring in another year than sitting in vinyl booths and listening to crooners take turns belting...

3. Turf Supper Club

Neighborhood: Golden Hill

and a couple of those and you have a good buzz going. The food is pretty basic stuff. You grill your own steak on the small grill they have in the center of the seating area. It can get pretty crowded...

4. Olde City Grill

Neighborhood: Pacific Beach

These guys are doing Philadelphia some justice by making the steaks right.  Granted it's not the rush in rush out attitude of a classic philly steak joint - it's got the charm and pace of what San...

5. Greystone the Steak…

Neighborhood: Gaslamp

list is excellent and has something for everyone. Try the "ROSE" , carneros pinot noir, which is excellent. The food is fantastic and ranges from top of the line steaks, to game and seafood.  All...

Burgers

1. Classics Malt Shop

Neighborhood: Midway

? The classic bacon cheeseburger! Man is this good stuff. It's one of the best burgers in town and the guys there are super nice and always are helpful to rush our orders if we get a call. Give it a try...

2. The Waterfront Bar &…

Neighborhood: Middletown

I'll match the Waterfront's burgers up with any "gourmet" burgers any day.  And fairly inexpensive, too.  Cold beer, good grub, and the place ain't too polished.  That's all I need....

3. High Dive Bar and…

I had the pleasure of stopping by here my last vacation in February. I was not disappointed! Plenty of good beer/drink selections, many TV's for viewing and a terrific burger! The waitress we had...

4. Downtown Johnny…

Neighborhood: Downtown

Downtown Johnny Brown's is a sports bar trying to eke out a living as a restaurant for the weekday legal crowd. The bar sports the usual burger-based menu of pub fare, nothing unexpected...

5. The Spot

Neighborhood: La Jolla

this is it.  The "build your own burger" selection on the menu is a great choice. First, you get to pick from 8 different bun flavors on which to enjoy your meat. Next, you select from either a burger, veggie...
