1. The Tadich Grill
The restaurant was constructed in 1849!!! It’s located in San Francisco and they are open Monday to Saturday. In the beginning it was only a coffee stand.
Nowadays, The Tadich Grill is best known for its amazing seafood. The place got its name after John Tadich purchased it in 1887 and it was later sold in 1928 to the Buich family.
They also claim to be the first restaurant to grill seafood on mesquite charcoal and they still do it today. Their ingredients are locally procured.
Fun fact: They serve more than 700 meals a day!! They also don’t take reservations and on busy days a tone of people will wait outside in line.
Next, you sea food you want to eat it here…..

WOW – this is fascinating. Keeping on my ‘travel bucket list’ emails.
Lucky enough to have been to 3. Would personally also add Beechman arms if Rhinebeck NY to the list though the inn itself, like the wayside Inn in MA are mire spectacular tan even the wonderful food.
It is amazing that these landmarks have been preserved! How precious is our history. We have one here in Natchez called Kings Tavern. It has a history to match the Natchez Trace, with weary travelers stopping there. At present it is up for sale, and it is so sad to see it just sit there. We are a tourist town, and no one has picked up the challenge to save it.
None in the South. The yankee barbarians burned them all down.
While in Boston years ago, we ate at the oyster bar. It was really great as I just love our American history, so much of which has been lost.
What about the WASHINGTON INN & HOTEL in Princess Anne Md? It was constructed early 1800’s. Legend has it that George Washington walked those floors. Martha Custis Washington had relatives a few miles south of Princess Anne, the legend fits.
