“This was our go-to spot before the game and it didn’t disappoint. Super fun atmosphere with interactive games to play with friends, and the sliders were actually really good. Tons of TVs so you don’t miss any of the action. The best part for me was the open rooftop — gave it that outdoor feel without having to deal with the heat. Great vibes all around!“

“Delicious food and great atenttion“

“I had the catfish and fries with cornbread it was simply amazing it was so good nice and hot fresh I'll definitely be back again and I will recommend this restaurant to all of my family and friends“

“The only negative I have to say is the location. However the food was great. I got the short ribs. The meat was tender. My partner got that katsu and it's the crunch that gets me. Delicious. The Mac salad was good too. No weird after taste of fish oil that I've had at other places.“

“Disclaimer - this review might be biased as we are HUGE Top Gun fans and they could’ve served us rubber dog crap from Hong Kong and we would just be in awe. So..this is where the magic happened - the Great Balls of Fire scene, the Budweisers, the California sunlight coming through the windows, the connection with Goose’s family and Charlie, and one of the final scenes where Mav and Charlie reunite with “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” playing on the jukebox. We expected a bigger place considering the movie but it’s a bit tight in there…BUT the actual piano that Goose played and they all sang at is there, and you can sit at it and even play (and we might have sung a bit:) !! They have pictures from the movie, tons of nostalgia everywhere and you really feel like you’re in a special place.“

“I like simple handrolls, definitely a good spot to get them fast. I did come here after they opened in the afternoon so not many people. Everything seemed great to me. Only recommend thing I would do is ask for less cucumbers in the rolls but thats my preference.“

“I stop here every time I’m in San Diego to see Chris and Chris (my favorite bartenders) and get my bbq and BS fix. The bbq is on-point for KC style bbq. I know because I grew up in KC. But before you walk in here, maybe you should ask yourself a few questions in order to spare this amazing place future weird reviews:

Am I afraid of bras? Will my life be diminished by reading a few irreverent bumper stickers? Am I put off by people who are unapologetically authentic? Do I prefer whitewashed, soulless, corporate places? If your answer to these questions is “No” then you won’t regret stopping here. If ya do stop, give Chris and Chris high fives and hugs for me!“

“I wanted to try this spot but now I am worried if I take my wife and kids to this restaurant they could be assaulted in the bathroom by te owner and the staff will stand and smile. Plus multiple reports of failing food safety, yikes.“

“Fantastic service! Great prices. Loved the outdoor eating area and the vibe!!!“

“Its a fun little place to go to before Padre games .. Dorothy ( I think thats her name ) is an AWESOME bartender.. The guy on the grill was funny too .. he can grill a burger 🍔 thats for sure !!“

“Awesome food. Service is great also. Prices are moderate.“

“Exceptional quality and great BBQ hands down. 👍🏻“

“Love the food and the servers are very friendly“

“The foods that we order was all good!!!“

“I read the reviews for this place and I was curious to try it, being Mexican, I’ve never been too impressed by tacos in San Diego, there are good tacos but there’s always something better down south.

I am not someone that picks a place for the atmosphere, I go places for their food, if the atmosphere is good I might stay longer but if the food’s good I’ll come back.

Which is the case with this place, the food is so good that I would travel back from mexico just to eat their ribeye tacos.

I’ve read about people complaining about the atmosphere here, there are too used to fast food joints, this is how a real taqueria feels like, it’s rustic, not sterile, there’s ash from the charcoal flying and landing in the furniture out back, loud music, informal service. If you can’t deal with that, go get yourself some fast food instead, this might not be for everyone. But the food…

The food is worth it, not sterile uberclean plastic setting we tend to find this side of the wall, this feels authentic, and tastes like the best in Mexico. The quality of the raw materials ids the best I have seen, even in México. Could the setting be better? Who cares, the tacos are fantastic that’s all that counts.

Bravo to the owners, we wish you great success, and many years in business so that we may comeback many times.“

“Very good streets food and love it’s.“

“Went to Laylahs Jamaican Food restaurant today and I have to say the food was very delicious, customer service was excellent. I will be back!!!“

“It's a hidden gem. It's a mom and pop shop, it's absolutely delicious! My friend was telling me about this location and I decided to go before they close. I got some of the noodles, sausages, bread and beef as well as two canned sodas (I don't know the exact name of some of the dishes because I kind of just took whatever they had left) such great portions and I will 100% be back so I can see what else they have. I spent less than $40“

“ohana Hawaiian island BBQ is the best in town I've been coming here since my son was one and a half he's seven now and it has become his favorite food I bring him here as a reward when he's a good kid thank you ohana you have become part of my family 🙏❤️“

“Enjoyed the tasty southern choices.“

“Better than Little Caesars and the guys that operate this place are always so sweet and accommodating. My son requests this pizza several times a month. You cannot beat the large pepperoni anywhere at $6.50. It tastes good and they have great crust as well. Highly recommend.“

“I love L&L and frequent different locations often. The Palm Ave location just cannot seem to get an entire order correct and it’s frustrating because I know the service expectation of the brand. Give them some guidance on preparing multiple meals correctly for a single order.
Favorite location is still MCAS Miramar! Their team is 5 gold stars! See y’all soon!“

“I always drive by here, but never tried it until today. I got a Patty and a slice of Lemon cake. Customer service was amazing, the lady register is SO SWEET and helpful. The patty is so flaky and satisfying. The lemon cake was my FAVORITE! So moist and just the right amount of sweetness. Will come here again, no doubt!!“

“Delicious Filipino grilled favorites on demand!

My dad loves coming here because when we go shopping for ingredients of his native food, we can come get prepared delicious meals on hand.

Cafeteria style, you can choose from grilled fish, meats, vegetable and meat dishes, noodles, desserts and more!

My recommendation

Grilled pompano fish
Laing (taro leaves in coconut milk)
Lechon kawali (crispy pork)“

“So I just used DoorDash to order a pork combo. I wanted a plate with all rice but I guess I ordered it wrong. When I got my food there was a note attached to my food and they got exactly what I wanted. To the employee who wrote the note THANK YOU! You’re an amazing employee. I will definitely be back with great service like this. Thanks again“

“Absolutely delicious. Best Hawiian food I’ve had since being on Hawaii, 10/10. My new go-to! Good job guys!! I got the Seafood combo platter delivered, the Kalbi (short ribs) was seasoned to perfection, shrimp was fried perfectly, and the fish katsu was also seasoned perfectly, and had a nice crunch to the crust. You can really tell they put love into the food. Mac salad was very good, just added a pinch of black pepper (personal preference). Mahalo!“

“I’m loving the wings here. I was not too impressed initially ( 2 years ago) and decided to give it a second try and I’m glad I did! The wings were super juicy and adequately seasoned, the bread was freshly baked and fluffy. I recognized that more people are here as well. Nicely done.“

“Filipina lady is nice and gave us good amount of food that a two person can share in one order. Food was also delicious! I don’t understand with these one star reviews though. I think it’s great price compare the outside base meals. Super filling as well.

Definitely a return customer here!“

“I love you place. The lady working the register, so accommodating. The food always 💣 bomb!! A little wait but that's because it's always cooked fresh!! Best hibachi gets 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'd give more if I could!! Also open late!!“
