Service - 4/5, friendly service, but our server was very forgetful. Food - 3/5, we ordered fries and onion rings only but they were both average at best. fries were better than the onion rings but they both weren't great at all. Drinks - 2/5, tried 3 different margaritas, all were terrible. this is surprising given the good reviews and photos of the drinks look good. Also got the manhattan and the old fashioned which were much better than the margaritas, but overall average at best. I've had better old fashions at a Hyatt place bar. Ambiance - 5/5, the energy in this place is great, very lively Overall, i was disappointed with the food and drinks because the atmosphere was good. I'm not sure if I would come back here. We spent $200 on drinks and fries and onion rings between 3 people. For that price, there are much better options out there.

The food was very good, but the service from Cassidy was absolutely astronomical. I have never been to a restaurant and experienced such good service. Thank you Cassidy for such a great time.

I cannot say enough great things about Cassidy and Mary, our servers at Wild Goose. Their demeanor, attention to detail, and genuine care for their customers truly set them apart. Every time I visit the restaurant, Cassidy and Mary go above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience is nothing short of exceptional. They are both true assets to the team and always bring smiles to my face. I cannot recommend the Goose enough to anyone looking for top-notch service, just be sure to sit in their sections. Thank you, Cassidy and Mary, for always making my visits memorable!

My co-worker and I always go to this place once a month after work. It is our favorite ritual to order the Brussell Sprouts and Gains bowl with Blackened Salmon! I can not recommend it enough how delicious these plates are, the sauces and food are always cooked to perfection. The staff are always so welcoming and constantly checking in on us with a smile. Chris the GM does a great job of asking how we are doing and checking in as well. Love this place! Great experience all around! You can also bring your dog to the back patio!

7:20 pm Sat 3/9 it was packed cuz also UFC was playing. I did the OC Restaurant Week menu which was a steal. $9 house vodka soda lime was reasonable.

My friend and I decided to try This place thanks to Restaurant Week!! I believe this was our favorite of all the places we went. Everything here is made in house... We started off with the house made tots and the house salad. If im being totally honest the tots were my least favorite...but my friend enjoyed them.The salad was basic green salad but very fresh! The salad dressings were amazing... I ordered a blended bleu cheese and a citrus dressing. The 2nd course was The ultimate Patty melt....beef patty cooked to perfection, maple bacon,red onion jam( delicious) American cheese on a parmesan truffle crusted Texas toast. We share or split everything...so we also got the Korean BBQ bowl. Crispy pork( large portion) pickled carrots,onions,cucumber, spinach namul,crispy rice topped with sunny side egg & gochujang BBQ sauce. Delicious Korean flavors. Our waitress was a very nice gal named Sam...she was awesome very attentive & accommodating. She went to her Manager Zac to ask about the cinnamon roll which was our dessert pick and they ran out of the Restaurant week portion size. Zac was amazing...we told him it was our first time there. He brought us the pickled deviled eggs to try which we absolutely loved...Zac also brought us the full size cinnamon roll...which was sooooo delicious, warm...with creamy Frosting. He also brought us the Cheesecake he said we had to try...I normally hate Restaurant Cheesecake because it's firm and tasteless. This was just like my aunt makes with a fruit compote...so delicious. I brought home the leftovers and my mom also thoroughly enjoyed too!!! I believe this was our favorite of the 5 new places we went to on Restaurant week!! We can't wait to go back...looks like they have a great Happy Hour!!! Thank you Sam & Zac for an amazing Foodie experience!!

The Goose has a solid burger. Top-10 in OC but at the bottom of the list. The service is always super friendly. The fries are great. The beers are ice cold. And it's a solid spot to visit for a bite, a beer or a quick meeting away from the hustle and bustle of 17th street.

We love Wild Goose! Food and ambiance are a 10/10 Colleen is the best. Super sweet and made our experience so much fun! We will definitely be back.
Came here for the first time for lunch. The food and drinks were amazing. The burger, fries, chimichurri, margaritas were some of the favorites. Sam, our server, was great. Will definitely be back!

Celia was AMAZINGGGG ! Sooo attentive and great!! We weren't sure if we were going to stay late due to it being Saturday, but it was so much fun! Great music!! THEN someone spilled a drink on our table and the way Cesial and Kyle quickly wiped it away was sensational. Such attentive staff and great atmosphere! We will definitely be back!!

I love how their Happy Hour extends all the way to daytime, and do think it's one the best deals for HH around here for the food. There are only a few drink items on the HH menu with slight discount. We came at 1PM on Thurs and there were a few people. Spacious parking lot available in the back. + Food: Beer Battered Fries is 8/10 - Great flavor and crunch, good sauce, but they came out room temp which was strange + Drinks: Espressos Martini 7/10, Old Fashioned 7/10, both were a bit bitter for our taste, but does the job lol + Environment: It's a spacious place with indoor and outdoor options. Decors are western ish and pretty cool. Overall good vibe! Overall, 8/10 for their HH, but would probably order their normal priced drinks.
Great sports bar. Delish food.
