Condiments such as 2 types of Mustard is available and Ketchup. Napkin dispenser is available. Service is good. They could be friendlier. I recommend the Bratwurst Sandwich, too bad you can’t get the fries at one time. They told me to go somewhere else for the fries. I ended up changing my mind like some people and didn’t get any ($7)“

My favorite decoration was the bras hanging on the ceiling fans. And the ceiling fan was still spinning. Thank you ladies who donated their bras. I wish more places like tilted kilt did that.

There was even autographed bank notes/currency taped onto the walls.

The inside was very patriotic themed. Looks perfect! Try the onion rings!

The peach cobbler was sweet!“

dont get me wrong, the ribeye was delicious and the chimichurri was on point but something about ribeye and chimchurri in a corn tortilla just didnt taste right to me. my mind couldn't figure out if i was eating a steak or tacos lol.

my wife had the ribeye baked potatoe and we both fully enjoyed that one.

“Edit: thank you so much for responding. One of my favorites is Hawaiian barbeque so I really look forward to it. The barbeque chicken is really good. It's the other parts that are a little overcooked.

It's almost great, but the dark meat is almost always over cooked. It tastes like it was scraped of the grill. Imagine if there was left over grime in a skillet. It just tastes charcoaly“

“We had a great time after the Padres game. We stayed across the street and decided to give this place a try. The wings were good. The food was delicious after ballpark food. The waitress was nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance of the place is very nostalgic to all 80s and 90s kids. The place has cool photo ? areas to see. The place is small and tight in certain areas. The place has a history and needs to be visited if you're in san diego. The beer choices were good. I bought a t shirt at midnight. No regrets. ?

“Former Maui resident here. Nice place to pick up Spam Musubi! Not much ambience though. Service was just okay. Food came fast. Glad to have a place close by when I’m wanting Hawaiian. Not as good as local food in Hawaii though, but still glad to have it. You should really lower your prices for the Hawaiian Sun fruit drinks. They’re crazy high to charge when I can buy them at Ralph’s. I think it was a 100% mark up. These are inflationary times. Hawaiian food is salty. If the drinks are cheaper, people might order more food and appreciate you more for not price gouging. Something to consider?“
