Horrible at 6pm if your a delivery driver steer clear of this place if your ordering food steer clear of this place staff lie about order times and will do your order last . Horrible place

The 1/4 chicken was the only good thing that my husband and I got he got a tri tip sand which which was just okay. The onion rings were absolutely horrible. I don't know what you guys did to them but it felt like I was eating a tortilla chip my God. To top it off my husbands food came out first and he finished his food before I even got mine. You guys need to do better. Seriously revamp the onion rings but it doesn't really matter because I'm sorry but we will not be coming back. Phil's is 20 times better

Gambled on getting hard liquor drinks, which were not priced on the menu, and lost!! Had to send martini back because it tasted horrible. I see why they hide the drinks cost: $17 average per drink. Wife’s Cobb salad over-filled with plain lettuce. My chicken sando prolly been frozen for months. And why was ther a “convenience” fee of 3.5% on my bill? I felt unnecessarily gouged & won’t go there again.

When you’re excited to try a new mud pie and pay $9 on grub hub and you get about 5 bites. Taste was ok but not worth the money. Normally we love Mike’s food though but maybe just for in person here on out.

Food is great. The servers are polite and friendly. The 3 stars are for bringing out my order and then my wife's order 5 minutes later. Makes no sense. 2 people come in to have lunch together. Also. There's no way to upgrade to sweet potato fries off the combo. Add the difference, right? That's just losing money. We were told it wasn't doable, so regular fries are the only option..

The place is excellent, the best potato salad I ever had.
So are the sandwichs

Brice was awesome! Food & beverages were pretty good, atmosphere ok. But this is the place for brisket and barbecue!

The food is average but the portions are large so you won't leave hungry!

It has a classic sports bar vibe, and the service is adequate.

Sapo's Brisket Challenge

real tasty food ?
brisket was very tasty & extra juicy, good portion pulled and fall apart tender

sweet sauce was tangy and went well with the meat

spicy sauce had a good smoky flavor and a jalapeño kick

Mac & cheese was creamy delicious shells & cheddar sauce with a good crisp on top ?

greens were very tender full flavored made with stock ?

texas toast was phenomenal fluffy buttery bread

overall plate 3.8 ???

We stopped in because another BBQ place that we liked closed! and this was the first one that popped up on Google near by and I'm so glad we did that food was so good and tender I had the rib tips and we also had ribs with coleslaw and cornbread and the little kid Rib Meal the staff was super nice and if your thinking about going somewhere to watch spots this is the place. there was a panorama view of televisions on different sports channels every wall was a mega screen I can only imagine how Grand it is on Sports days they had wing deals and game & trivia nights
They had deals on different drinks and IPA I know whenever I make another trip to Escondido I will definitely stop in a fantastic place and 100% recommend
