“George (the owner) and his staff were incredibly hospitable and source food consciously. The baba ghanoush and falafel were INCREDIBLE, even by comparison to dishes I've had while travelling in the middle east. Highly recommend to anyone visiting San Diego! Well worth the drive from down town (better quality, better price). Bonus for LOTS of vegetarian and vegan options.“
“Cannot say enough good things about WestBrew. Great staff, a good beer and wine selection and an amazing atmosphere. We recently hosted a professional mixer there on a Saturday evening and they were happy to take us! Their food was great too. Thanks WestBrew! We hope to be back.“
“Attended an event here last night and their catering menu was on point! The truffle mac and cheese was a personal fave because you could take the premium cheeses used to create it. I also really enjoyed the frisky fried cauliflower and the pretzel bites! The service was also great. The servers refilled my drinks and took my empty plates promptly. This restaurant is perfect for a date night or a small private event! Looks like it would be a really good vibe on a weekend as they also had a DJ. I would definitely recommend this place! S/O to Chef Shawn for the delicious dishes!“
“Came here during their happy hour and they offer some pretty good deals. Got their mastiff fries, Brussels sprouts, and smash burger slider. Each of these were $5. They also offer $5 off all their whole pizzas. Took advantage of this and ordered their That's My Boy pizza. Suuuuuper good. Comes with pepperoni, ricotta cheese, jalapeño, honey, and red sauce. The balance of spiciness and sweetness is perfect. I noticed they had a bunch of beers on draft so it would be a great place to chill and have some drinks, too.“
“We loved the delicious, home-cooked food so much that we ate lunch here twice during our two-week stay in SD. The small restaurant is run by a Danish couple. The baked goods vary from day to day, and the food is fresh and authentically Danish. The service is warm and personal. Highly recommend!“
“Dropped in for a late-night beverage and wow did this bring back memories of a youth spent in rural Idaho with many of the same items around our simple town and home. For anyone fond of the classics and the ‘good ol’ days’, you should definitely pop in for a drink to check it out.“
“What a pleasant surprise! My family just arrived in San Diego and wanted to sit down at a restaurant. What a great choice!! We initially were a little put off when we realized we needed to pay for parking and also couldn't locate the entrance. Once we got that figured out, we were seated in under 5 minutes. The hostess was really sweet with my daughter. Our waitress Jessica was AWESOME! It was refreshing to have a waitress that actually seemed to enjoy people as this was not the case in a prior experience at a restaurant in Newport. She also made some great food recommendations. The fish was so fresh! The burgers were huge. The fries were delicious. My favorite of all was the lavender martini. Oh my! I will be returning especially for that. What a great start to our San Diego trip! I highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu and the staff were very sweet with my kids.“
“I got the orange chicken with chow mein & the shrimp and pork steamed wontons & every single item was a 10/10! The chow mein is the best, most flavorful chow mein I have ever had, the orange chicken is crispy & sweet, & the wontons were tender & very flavorful. Portions are worth the price. Highly recommend!“
“I love Lazy Dog! The food is good and the service has always been great, the location is easy to get too. Friends and I go every so often during happy hour and make a meal out of the starters. Bacon candy and the goat cheese and pepper jelly as delicious!“
“Easily one of the best Filipino Restaurants in SoCal! They serve authentic home-made tasting Filipino food. Service is excellent and they have an ice cream bar for my halo-halo lovers. Ambiance is very homey and family based. Looking forward to coming back again.“
“Have been coming here regularly for years. Tonight was exceptionally good. The food and service was great. Delicious burgers and Our waitress was awesome. The manager Grant is amazing. Not only did he come over and check on us but also made sure There were no issues with my gift card. Some of the best customer service I have ever had.“
“To close out our night we stopped here to grab a few. It was a bit chilly as the door are open and there are no heaters. Very nice vibe and I will have to come back another time to fully enjoy. We stuck with beer, but I would like to see what else the menu has.“
“I would have given five stars across-the-board if not for one issue. They are understaffed. The waiter was much too busy for the number of tables he had, and while we definitely don't mind waiting, my mother started having a bad coughing attack, and he still hadn't brought any water to the table after 20 minutes. I went to the bar to ask for water because she was having a hard time, and he didn't listen to me, he just kept saying “in a minute, in a minute” when I insisted I just needed a water quickly for her. I had to rush across the street to get some water for her. Eventually he brought over our beverages, but not a water for her.  That being said, the food was delicious, and definitely worth the value . They just need some help.“
“The food was amazing. I had my first Poboy, WOW! We heard about this thru Guy Fieri's show. The music ? was jammin! I was in town visiting from Green Bay, WI and we went out of our way to find this place. Well worth the drive. The atmosphere is casual but fun. Thank you!“
“I was having some work done at nearby Car Audio One, and I walked over to Empanada Spot to kill some time. The shopping center is small and quiet, and I wasn't sure what to expect - but I was very pleasantly surprised!The restaurant was very nice and well maintained or newly renovated. The Empanadas were delicious, as were the salsas (particularly the red Salsas). The Empanadas were a good size, but after initially ordering two I went back to order a third (and then talked myself into a fourth, LOL!).Overall would highly recommend Empanada Spot as a nice 'change of pace' from the normal fast casual dining spots; great food and friendly service made it a great experience.“
