"Approximate Drive Time: 3.5 hours Why it’s worth it: A truly breathtaking pink dining room decorated with fake flowers and gold details is the main draw of this restaurant, located at the kitschy, retro Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo. The hearty and old school menu includes cuts of prime rib, filet mignon and lobster, rib eye, swordfish steaks, and baked potatoes galore. It’s worth the drive on many levels, but you’ll want to spend the night in one of their famed guest rooms for the full experience." - Eater Staff
