Kono's - 1/4 mile

A favorite of locals, early morning surfers and burger lovers, Kono's has become an institution in Pacific Beach, California. Not only to does it serve breakfast all day for late risers, but it also has a top lunch selection. There are plenty of things to check out while you wait to place your order, including gnarly surfing pictures, surfing footage screened on a wall-mounted TV, and T-shirts and sweatshirts that proclaim you are a proud customer of Kono's.

There's also a quote-of-the-week board, where favorite gems of overheard wisdom get props. Choose between indoor and outdoor seating; fine dining alfresco gives patrons a fantastic view of the ocean, but beware of pesky birds trying to steal a free meal off your plate. One of the best things about Kono's is that you can't beat the bang you get for your buck; in fact, a chalkboard on the wall proclaims the number of days Kono's hasn't raised its prices, and the number is huge.
