Customer service was awesome. Garlic fries were a treat. The bun on the burger says "hello ,I'm sitting on top of a gourmet burger! " I would come back for Shure !

We went as a group of 8 and made a reservation. Got a high top table with bar stools. Only issue the bar stools were difficult to sit on. Otherwise the food was really good . My wife and I shared a very large burger and everyone else got their own. Good fries. And the Chef personally took care of us. We got a cake with a candle to celebrate my kids birthday from the Chef! Don’t rush us at all. Would go again.

5 stars all around. Service was amazing with Keren as a very friendly, attentive waitress to me and my dog! This place hit the spot for me. Delicious pastrami burger, garlic fries and an IPA. They have a dog menu too, so my dog enjoyed a puppy patty. Worth a visit! Well priced. Whole meal for me and my dog was only $33. Definitely will be back again. Plenty of street meter parking at only 25 cents per 30 minutes up to 2 hours.

I sat there for 15 minutes before I was even acknowledged by a waiter. “I’ll be right back.” But she never came back. Then , A couple came in, sat two feet from me and the bartender came right over to take their order. When I told him I had been waiting 20 minutes and was there before the couple, he just blew me off with a “I’ll get to you in a minute.” Terrible. Terrible place.

Welcoming and friendly staff in a casual, family friendly environment with large screen TV's, enough space for larger parties, and a dog friendly patio. The burger is fresh and well prepared. I like that the meat was still pink on the inside and not overcooked. Service is super fast. There was a selection of about a dozen craft beers. Pleasant place on Chula Vista's popular Third Street.

We came over the Mexican independence weekend so they had a one time burger with chorizo and habanero which I had but my husband doesn’t like spicy so much so he went with the pastrami burger and we had a garlic fries to complement. To say this was a fantastic burger experience is underselling it. The bar is a labour of love and it shows in every aspect of their service. From noticing we were outside waiting to open to telling us all the fabulous little extras they do. From pet friendly to how they enrich their community. This is a great experience so strongly recommend a trip here! Thank you for an enjoyable lunch!!

Really good burgers and fries! Come here often with family and it never disappoints. If you like to add a kick of spice don’t forget to ask for chiles torreados!

Definitely not a burger worth $20. Overcooked meat, burnt panic cheese - and cajun fries that are an afetr t thought fries with a sprinkle of who knows what spice. 5-Guys is wayyyy better and their cajun fries are fire!!!
