What a great hidden gem, it seems like a locals joint. Outdoor seating was pleasant with a beautiful view.
Bloody Mary was like a meal, very picture worthy. The burger was phenomenal and my chili bowl was good. It was very good but a little too tomatoey, but still good if you know what I mean.
Service was good, David was very attentive.

This restaurant was amazing. So friendly and the food was so yummy. We had our golden retriever with us, and they made him a puppy pattie which he loved. We had two different versions of the hamburger and the meat was so good. The fries and onion rings are delicious. We sat outside on the patio with a beautiful view of the lake. We will definitely go back.

We come often. Specialty burgers are big and juicy, and the tots and fries on the appetizer menu are amazing. I love the buffalo fries. Their brisket is worth a re-order, had it on the tots i have to try the sandwich next time. The revolving local beer selection is fun, but we always get the o'neils Irish red. If you're not into IPA, it's a nice alternative.

Worst experience ever!!! We tried to eat here on a Friday night and looked up their closing time which showed 8 pm. We arrived at 7 20 pm only to be told that they were closing soon and could only accept take out orders. We left disappointed and frustrated. Since we were staying for the whole Memorial Day weekend we decided to give them a second chance, on Sunday night ,and decided to call ahead of time to see what time they were accepting last seatings. We were told over the phone that they were closing at 8 pm but to arrive by 7 to be safe. Taking their advice we arrived at 6 55 pm as advised. It took 15 min before our server showed up to take our order. To speed things up we decided to order our drinks and food at the same time, there were only 2 other tables seated at the entire restaurant. At this time to our surprise, after 15 minutes or so of waiting, our drinks never showed up. We had decided to ask another employee to please check on our drink order as our server had completely disappeared. He was nice enough to show up with our drinks and apologized for the long wait. A few minutes later our food arrived, not to our satisfaction, as the hamburger I had ordered medium rare was actually medium well at best . Still no sign of our original server as she had disappeared completely. The only other visible employee was solely focused on closing up and putting things away for the night. Our original server never came back to the table to check on us, which was extremely disappointing. Overall the food was average at best, overpriced and the service was beyond horrible. I would never recommend this place to anyone ever. Take your money into Julian and save yourselves the aggravation and disappointment.

Can’t take to go orders on a Saturday because overwhelmed kitchen staff… kind of ridiculous in my opinion. wasn’t nice about asking for a simple order of fries, which is probably the most simple thing

Great spot for a drink or bite overlooking Lake Cuyamaca. Hikes nearby from the restaurant.

We're starting to have a small family tradition of stopping here for my son's birthday. This is our 2nd time here and the food is amazing. We haven't tried everything but the pub burger is delicious. The fries are on another level! Crispy, crunchy, and we'll seasoned! The to-go service is quick and easy. See you next year!

Got there with my small son & wife. Was very difficult to get an order in. Told the waitress (brown hair, glasses) that I was ready to order in a very audible tone of voice. Literally walked away and got on her cell phone. My wife, son, and I just got up and left. I've heard great things about this place. It's a shame I couldn't try it.
Have stopped here several times in the last 2 years. Usually a great experience. Not so much this time. Really terrible, super salty wings ($14)were rapidly replaced with excellent Fish & chips ($23). Tri-tip beef sandwich (no longer smoked tri-tip(?), just pot roast) was OK. No sides included($16). No pork belly sandwich either? Generous servings but a bit spendy. Good selection of craft beers ($8?) and some wines available. Excellent service from entire staff. Place was freezing cold so we had to go get coats out of the car. Small store attached to buy waters, snacks, pies, etc.

The smoked wings were really good. Much better than fried. However they were really salty so you may want to ask to have them tossed in less seasonings. Also, the numbers next to the wine like 21 and 22 are the years, not the prices haha. Fooled me

Loved the beer chili but it was the worst service, portions, and the rest of the food was a joke. I understand the automatic 20 percent tip added to a group of 6 or more so no complaints on that. We asked for our drinks and nothing was brought together and we never received water. The food had no salt or seasoning (Burgers) the kids meal (hot dog) was terrible. The bun was so hard and gross that I can probably use it as a bat, maybe they left the bag open and the bread got stale. The shareable chili beer fries were so small that even the kids meal was bigger the price was ridiculous high. When we tried to ask for help the guy waiter completely ignored us and helped other tables and even when we went up front we still didn't get any help. We come fishing at the lake so often and never came to eat until this past saturday. Never coming to eat here again no matter how hungry I am. It's a beautiful view to have a drink outside though. Don't order any food please, you'll save yourself a headache.
Amazing service . Everything so delicious
