The chicken and waffles are worth a trip to this late night greasy spoon!!! Great late night food as well as a good breakfast spot !!!

Rudfords is an institution. Nothing fancy , just good food like grandma use to make. No fancy fusion or combination of foods thought up by a chef trying to be different. It is good comfort food !!

Colleen Alarcon

Wow! Huge portions , food arrives piping hot. Crinkle fries , crispy has browns, crispy corned beef hash , big omelettes . The French Dip - huge portion of tasty, juicy beef , prepared and cooked here!

Cathy S.

Consistent friendly service , add red booth diner atmosphere with yummy options for breakfast lunch or dinner + daily specials and alcoholic beverages like bloody Marys .

Emy Rengler

This place is awesome it's open late and I just can't express how huge the portions are! Perfect for that midnight craving

Used to be my haunt while living in North Park . So many good memories showing up here trashed and getting my stomach massaged with delicious grease and pie .

Donald Fournier

Been at this location since Kennedy was President. Delicious food in an old school diner setting. 24 hours a day you can get your munch on.

Amaya

Great diner (sort of luncheonette style) yummy pancakes , breakfast sandwiches , and salads . Taco salad is my fav

Liam Watson

Nice stop in the middle of San Diego, real 50's style diner with more chrome and little cliche. Open 24 hours and fantastic meals. If you're poor, a Chicken Salad Sandwich is recommended.

Colleen Alarcon

The service is very friendly ! Big menu and open 24 hours . Great 50's type diner . Lots of selection.

Destiny Leshay

This place is a cute little 24 hour joint. The pancakes are good. The cinnamon roll comes with a THICK LAYER of icing.

Larry Gilbert

Ask for grapefruit juice and you will get Ocean Spray Ruby Red. (I'm not saying that's good or bad; I'm just saying.)

Govind Ramabadran

Charger omelette with cheese and avocado and home fries are amazing!

I had the huevos rancheros . They were excellent. Outstanding customer service too. So far, way better than Denny's and ihop.

Make sure to tip the graveyard shift fat when you come here!

Joe T

Great for late night eats.

Jeff Cronin

It's basic, clean , and a good value .

Kat Sorenson

The Salsa is THE BOMB! I order breakfast everytime just so I can dump salsa all over it!

Suzanne Lefebvre

Bus boys are out of control and should mind their own business, instead of hassling the customers. Cannot enjoy a meal, with their stupid remarks. Jose B. is rude - needs to be replaced.

Epic It

SWEET ROLL ! But only when they are fresh like at 5-6 in the morning. Amazing!

Scott Zimmerman

Love the meatloaf special on Tuesdays with brown gravy .

Nichole Baumgardner

Friendly servers and open 24 hours !

Try the spinach and cream cheese omlette ! I can't eat eggs any other way anymore, even at home :D

This is your good old fashion theater. They have an IMAX, which is a bonus. I will say that the seats need an upgrade considering but I am not complaining. Good movies, good food and always ambiance! - K & J
