"A picture is proudly displayed on the outside wall of Rudford's. Depicting President John F. Kennedy in a motorcade on his way to the commencement ceremony of San Diego State College in 1963. This place is definitely a diner. A row of barstools lining the counter top can be seen as you enter. Many booths line the wall. Outside seating is available along with parking in the back. Came here for lunch with daughter after errands and yet another doctor appointment. Decided upon breakfast and was not disappointed. My breakfast sandwich and hash browns tasted good. I love it when breakfast is served all day. It really is the best meal. They are always open, literally. The menu offers a wide variety of; omelettes, pancakes, burgers, sandwiches, steaks, entree's, soups, salads, vegetarian dishes and daily specials. The drink menu offers the following; mimosas, beer, wine, sangria, shakes and sodas. The dessert menu includes: sundae's, banana split, weekly cake special and many pies. Family owned and run from 1949 until 1983 when it was purchased by Leon Gilman."

The wings were fantastic—generous in size and cooked to perfection. The peach pie was just average; it lacked strong flavor, and I wasn't particularly fond of the jelly filling.
David
this sandwich was exactly what I had been craving. A large amount of sliced beef of perfect thicknrss, flavorful and tender. The gravy was delicious but I would have liked more of it. View menu

Been coming here for years... food is great. My favorite is French dip sandwich.. occasionally we get some bad waitress that rather talk to friends that visit her. Than take care of her customers. We just make sure she's not working that day. Other than that we love coming here.

We always order the Belgian waffle along with either the house potatoes or the hash browns. They also serve the best over-easy eggs I’ve ever tasted. The food reheats remarkably well, too. The portions are generous, so you'll have enough for two meals. We absolutely love this place!

This place is fantastic! The atmosphere is wonderful, and the people are great. Megan K was our charming waitress, and the breakfast was incredible. I had the croissant breakfast sandwich on sourdough, while my fiancée enjoyed an omelette. I didn't take a photo, but our empty plates say it all. I'm a bit embarrassed that I've lived in NP for two years and have never come here before. I've definitely found my new favorite spot! View menu

I will definitely consider ordering again! This is one of the best spots for satisfying late-night or early-morning cravings. The steak was excellent with generous portions. I ordered for delivery, and everything hit the spot. I also appreciated that the cranberry juice came in the same cup as their fountain drinks, providing a lot more juice than most places. I highly recommend this place! However, I was a bit disappointed to see that the steak is unavailable on DoorDash, although it is listed on their Grubhub page.

Rudford's is one of the oldest diners in San Diego. Located conveniently near University Heights and close to 30th Street and South Park, it’s a fantastic spot for 24-hour food cravings. The best part? The food is amazing! We all had a great experience, and I personally enjoyed a delicious cup of chili alongside my sausage plate. My friends ordered chilaquiles, biscuits and gravy, eggs benedict, blueberry pancakes, and some cured meats and fruit. Everyone loved their meals and felt very comfortable. The prices are reasonable, and the service is quick and excellent. If you're looking for a nostalgic dining experience with a modern twist, Rudford's is the place to be. I’d definitely recommend...
