Tobey’s 19th Hole (Balboa Park) (again)

Thank you for stopping here, mmm-yoso!!!, to read about food.  Cathy is writing today while Kirk continues to be overwhelmed with work and things.

Yes, I've written a few other posts about this golf course restaurant, located at the start and finish of the City golf course in Balboa Park since 1934.  I thought you might want to see what has changed since the pandemic.

That's it.  Here we go!

The poached eggs (again-perfect) and rye toast rounded out this large meal.

Another survivor of the pandemic.  So happy we can still patronize this family run (for eight decades!) San Diego classic.

  1. Each was really good, Soo.
    Thanks, alnc. Trying to keep the posts interesting.
    Yes, we don’t make pork chops at home that often, Kat. Our meals out are usually because one of us has a craving and neither of us can cook it correctly….

  2. Thanks for the post. Haven’t been there in many years so it was a good reminder to visit. A true bit of SD history.
