“I visited my friend in California last week. I’m from Philly so I’ve had Crown Chicken before so needed to try it out West and see what it was about. This place was great! The food was awesome - even better than what I’ve had in Philly! 10/10 would definitely come back next time I visit CA.“

“4/2/2024 - Don't get out to the Acres very often but heard that the Iron Cactus was good so decided to give it a try. East to find next to Van Dam Farms and it looked nice & comfortable inside. Server Kelly was quick to seat us and take our drink order. It was lunch time so we my wife ordered chef's salad w/bacon & avocado added and I had the beef dip sandwich w/steak fries. Wasn't long before food arrived and it looked very good. The salad was huge (enough for a couple of meals) and the sandwich and fries were also large. The salad was very fresh and the beef dip was very tasty, definitely one of the best in the valley and the steak fries were fresh and crisp. We both needed take out boxes. Service was excellent, food was fresh and very good. Next time we'll try the dinner menu. Will definitely be back. They accept credit cards, have a large bar, huge whisky list, cocktails, some wine.“

“Started going there with my Friends. It is one of our Birthday Celebration Meet-ups. The food is great, with attention to detail. 4 out of the 5 times I've been the service has been excellent. The last visit, middle of the week, for lunch for some reason there was only (1) server, who also had to do bar which, slowed things down quite a bit, but he did great under the circumstances. Other than that one experience, I highly recommend this place.Parking: Open parking in a strip mall. So far no issues finding a place to park.“

Simple ideas yet flavorful. Today we had the cinnamon roll pancakes, chicken quesadilla, and breakfast quesadilla. This spot never fails! Prices are consistent and staff is attentive. Tons of seating, we have never had to wait for a table.“

“I had received an email about their new limited time menu. When were seated, we looked at the seasonal menu but it was not what we expected. The waitress said that the new menu products had not arrived so it was not available. We went ahead and had dinner, which was good. However, I was very disappointed as I really wanted what they had advertised. I am surprised that a chain as large as theirs wouldn't be more organized. Otherwise, the food and the waitress did not disappoint.“

“Big Shotz Bar & Grill is an absolute gem! First off, their drink prices are unbelievably reasonable, making it a go-to spot for anyone looking to have a good time without breaking the bank. But it's not just about the drinks; their seasoned fries are a game-changer--crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned, and just the right amount of indulgent. And let's not forget their friendly staff, who always go above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience. Overall, Big Shotz Bar & Grill is a must-visit for delicious bites, great drinks, and an all-around fantastic time!“

Locals you probably already know about it.There is not much going on nearby the airport that I can see, but we just flew in for lunch and then went back to San Diego. The three of us all had melts. Turkey and ham and cheese. We all liked them very much. Fries are a bit dry, lacking in taste but acceptable. I had the coleslaw side instead of fries, which impressed me because it was without mayonnaise. Actually healthy and good tasting. The server she was really nice.“
