“I love a Cubano, and there isn't anywhere else nearby to get one, so when I saw this place opened up, I had to stop by and try theirs. My goodness, it greatly exceeded my expectations. The roasted pork was so flavorful and juicy, this might be the best Cubano I've ever had. My only regret is that I didn't get a side of fried plantains. I'll definitely be back soon.“
“I am from East County and used to the El Cajon/La Mesa locations. Walking in here felt and looked the exact same, if I woke up in there I would swear I was on Fletcher Parkway. Great friendly service with a delicious menu. A lady walked out saying how fantastic it was and telling everyone that walked by they needed to try it. What does that tell you?Parking: We parked directly in front of the door. It is a huge lot with several businesses and a lot of parking.Kid-friendliness: I always went here as a kid. There aren't any toys or anything except for a few gumball/toy machines at the entrance. I'm sure they have a coloring placemat.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking, wide enough entrance and walkway, tables spaced apart.“
“Great BBQ and the atmosphere was a blast. Huge screen for sports. While I was there they had a trivia night which was super cool seeing everyone have a lot of fun with it. The brisket was perfect and the Mac and cheese was so good. Great spot for an all around dinner experience.“
“The food was excellent!! Flavors were blended so perfectly and the meat was juicy and tender. We were so delighted by the friendly and personalized service, authentic decor, and lively music. I would highly recommend this restaurant. It will not disappoint!!“
“I usually 'yelp' when I'm upset...not this time though, it's 2 for 2 at this particular Phil's. Truth be told (have lived in San Diego now coming up on 40 yrs) I just started coming here when I had to go to a different pharmacy nearby. I can only say that both times were very close to a religious experience. I am a believer now! I plan to return on my "cheat day" and get a plate of beef ribs! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!“
“Simply the best BBQ around. This takeout restaurant is our favorite. Everything from beef ribs to brisket is excellent and most importantly done consistently well. We get dinner from Bubba's every week. Highly recommend. It's family owned and operated which is great as it allows us to support a neighborhood business and family.“
“This place is small and amazing! The staff was so welcoming! My husband had a fried chicken sandwich with fries. I had the fried catfish, tried the black eyed peas, and shared the Mac and cheese!!! We were so impressed! The catfish is definitely southern. We enjoyed everything including the service. Food came quickly, cooked perfectly. The cornbread is so delicious!!!!! It was clean, we loved the wrapped silverware. We will definitely be back! Also you cannot beat the price!!!“
“Super fun experience, I've never had Korean BBQ in a restaurant like this before. Not bad for a first time visit. I'm a pescatarian so my dishes were somewhat limited. The seafood offerings are great don't get me wrong. I was with family and it was a wonderful experience overall. The bulgogi, baby octopus, chicken, beef, sides were tasty?, everyone had a great time we were there for like 2hrs?, we have a big family. Corn cheese... get it!!“

“Kangnam KBBQ is simply great. They have almost all of the items you would expect from a KBBQ spot and more. The entire restaurant is very well maintained, the waiting area is small but nice, they also have a bar that you can visit while you wait if you want.There is a ton of seating to accommodate small and large parties alike. It's a great place to bring your family for a fun dinner adventure. The menu naming convention is a little confusing since both options seem like they are the best version. Not a problem, just look at the menus and pick the one that has what you want to eat.The quality of the meats is excellent. Even the simple things like brisket are top-notch quality. The portion of rice that you get every order is smaller than you would expect. The salad is a little bland and not really for using as a lettuce wrap with the BBQ, but still very enjoyable. They offer a bunch of veggies to grill as well.Lastly, the service is the quickest out of any restaurant visited in a long time. The whole operation is well staffed, timely, and polite. It's small but noticeable. There is plenty of parking nearby as well as wheel chair accessible parking. There are curb ramps right up to the sidewalk as well.Vegetarian options: If you had to, there are plenty of tasty things you can have here. You will be surrounded by animal products.Dietary restrictions: You can find something for almost every diet.Parking: Lots of parking. Large parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Great place to bring the family if they enjoy the atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: Yes. It is.“

“Quaint small town restaurant. Food was great and served quickly. Went for the burger but got the prime rib Instead. The cut was great and medium rare was perfect. Served with a salad and baked Potatoe. No issues with the service as they were very attentive and were very accommodating to request's after food was served.“
“Swiss Grill is Back! After a health issue these guys are back and better than ever! Their chicken is AMAZING but I was also BLOWN AWAY with their ribs. You know you are eating great ribs when nobody is asking for sauce. They are so good they don't need sauce! I caught them at Vista's Saturday market, but they also go to other venues, I also caught up with them at Lawrence welk resort in Escondido on a Monday after they sold out on Saturday in Vista!“
