The best spot on campus, and I love the team here! Kathy, Sayra, Alejandra are the best.“

“Pretty standard craft brewery vibes with the awkward staff as a pairing. Nice quiet neighborhood, above average beer, certainly on the pricier side for a pint these days. Small coffee shop inside is a nice touch. Will stick with the occasional Harland can purchase at the store to bring home.“

“This places was very good! Yes it was expensive but I was also feeding 6 people!! But it was really good food! Definitely a place I would visit again and recommend!!!“

“Hi I recommend this entirely“

“My sister and I were craving Japanese food, so she suggested Kumi Sushi Grill. I ordered a bento box with chicken teriyaki, yellowtail sashimi, and mixed tempura. My sister also got the chicken teriyaki bento box with mixed tempura, and fried gyoza. The Bento boxes come with miso soup and we also ordered Green Tea.
All I can say is everything was excellent. They give you 3 big pieces of yellowtail sashimi that melted like butter and their tempura was awesome.The portion sizes are huge. We should split a box. You can swe hiw much food my sister had in her to-go box. Mine was just as much food but not as pretty. I highly recommend this place.“

“This place serves 85 years of proven deliciousness. It is simple. It is hearty. These days, it is even out of the ordinary. Just go. You will be glad that you did. If you are like me, you’ll remember how Mom would heat the oven to 450 degrees and place the block of ice Hungry Man pot pie in the oven for one hour till it transformed into a cauldron of molten lava. My mother would even crack open the hood of the pie and load it with an extra cup of frozen peas and carrots that would cook to perfection in the heavenly inferno of scrumptious delight, which made me the muscular hunk of love that I am today. The San Diego Chicken Pie Shop serves up a pie that is an even better recipe than the one in my memories of my dear Mom. If your are nearby, give it a try.“

“Love the food joint that’s been added to this bar. Amazing food and people!“

“One of my favorite bars in the city! Great cigars, deals on drinks, and a vibe that’s always chill but never boring. Staff makes you feel at home every time. I even love bringing in my board games here it’s the perfect spot to relax, hang with friends, and just enjoy the night. Easily one of my favorite bars in the city.“

“Really delicious and reasonably priced food. Love the fusion style. The Tokyo fries are one of my absolute fav things on the menu. As well as the fried kale and Banh mi 🤤 Decent beer, wine, teas, and specialty drinks.“

“My wife and I came in last night before the padres game. Awesome atmosphere and location. The cold IPA was honestly the best beer I’ve had in a long time. Brandon the bartender was super friendly and helpful. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area“

“Very tasty beverages. Nice big ice cubes, made from tasty water. Friendly staff, and a back room shrouded in mystery...“

“Friendly service. Not too expensive. Outside seating available. I had their Gyro sandwich. They didn't have the traditional toppings but meat was flavorful and veggies were fresh. It was a good sandwich. Their blue berry bread pudding with pistachio ice cream was absolutely wonderful. You don't see pistachio ice cream being served often and it's one of my favorites. So I was super happy.
The albondigas soup was good too but beware it has a bit of a spicy kick to it.“

“This is the second year in a row we have stayed at Crystal Pier in San Diego. Both trips we have ordered deliver from SD TapRoom and all of our meals have been delicious. Last night was the best one for me though. I actually called them thinking they had deliver me a regular crust pizza instead of gluten-free (I have celiac). It tasted WAY TOO GOOD to be gluten-free, but it was! I have no idea how they made such a good crust (I actually said this can’t be what I ordered since it tasted so good)! The salads are also fabulous and my sister had the fish taco’s and loved them. Chili and burgers have also been a hit. Thanks for a great couple of dinners!“

“Singularly the best brewery in San Diego
Been going there for 10+ years

The owners are are family to me & my husband, have been awesome friends for a decade.

The beertenders are fun, educated about the beers & are all family to me

The beer is some of the best i’ve had in my life, my desert-island beer lives on the board, Drink this or the Bees Die

Being gluten-free makes the beer healthier for me, less pain in my joints, no bloating, & tastes amazing.

Overall 100/10 for me, now & forever“

“My favorite Nashville hot chicken sandwich and tenders!!!!!!“

“Cheddar shrimp and grits were so good!“

“Love this bar! Outdoor seating is amazing I brought my dog and he had a great time too. Our server/bartender, Joe, was great! Super friendly, and knew the beer menu really well. I gave up drinking a few years back but was delighted to see 10 n/a beers on the menu. Great vibe, highly recommend!“

“Outstanding venue. First time visiting the establishment for lunch with some co-workers and I will be back for a more social setting!“

“I love this place so much it’s my second home!! All my extended family thats there and the wings!!! Gotta have the wings haha!! Make sure to stop in and say hi, everyone will welcome you in like you’re family too!!“

“They have the best Kombucha & usually incredible IPAs & Stout. Best brewery in SD. I host Kombucha or Beer & paint parties at this location. Join us, Search original art cafe nova on Eventbrite or Allevents for workshop times & location!“

“A unique concept where not only is it a beer/liquor store but if you wish to buy the beer in the fridge and drink it on premise you pay a small corkage fee. This allowing you to try a variety of beer with a much lower price than the average bar while being able to take home said beer in a 4 or 6 pack. They also have a variety of cheese in the back and a sit down area tk relax and enjoy north park for what it truly is and feels like.“

“A great chill place and outside they allow dogs. Usually decent bands on the weekends and no cover charge. It’s a great find and I recommend 🤙🏼“

“Definitely recommend this place. Walking distance from the beach in the main strip of Ocean Beach, inside has a cool vibe. Service was fast and friendly. The burger were massive and very well seasoned. I still think about it to this day. Wedge fries were also crispy. Huge amount of food ripped after a nice day out.

Definitely recommend if you’re in town, will be going again!“

“Had a quick lunch here today. Yummy salad ( a bit heavy on the blue cheese, but fixable) fun ambiance and very helpful friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this place! Also, kind on my wallet which makes going here a no brainer!“

“What a surprise for just picking something off the map! Beautiful view, but the food was SO SO good, and a great price. We had the Baja shrimp taco- generously sized and perfectly dressed. The pastrami burger- oh my…the bun was perfect, the beef and pastrami delicious, and the ONIONS WERE OUT OF THIS WORLD(wish I could do mine this way. Even the grilled cheese was top notch, done with crispy cheese inside and great quality bread. Lastly, we had the potato pirogies which were crisp and toasty on the outside and creamy inside and the hopping sauce we could DRINK. The employees were very nice and service was swift. Probably the best, quick meal we have had traveling in 2700 miles. Much appreciated!“

“Great food, great atmosphere, and the staff is the best.“

“The new ownership of Outcast have really brought it to a new level! The food is great quality and well priced. I love the shawarma, my kids love the pizza, and all of the Mexican food on the menu I have tried is also delicious (enchiladas, gorditas, tacos). The service is prompt, friendly and so accommodating. It has a little chalkboard area our kids enjoy using. Overall, this is just a great family-friendly restaurant.“

“Great restaurant! Food, service were on point!“

“Good food. Great service !“

“They have a great happy hour with 1/2 price bottles of wine 🍷 on Wednesday's. It's a great place to watch the game.“

“I am late to reviewing and forgetting the servers name. She was from Maryland, and the reason we ordered more than just a pick me up coffee before the Japanese Friendship Gardens. Our server (delightful as can be and a great conversation partner) encouraged us to try the Spicy Calamari and Aquachile. It's not the best flavor pairings with coffee. So, stick with a bubbly libation when ordering these delightful dishes. The flavors, however, are divine. Fresh ingredients that remain high quality! We enjoyed a table overlooking the gardens and lucked into it without a reservation. Although, I recommend reserving in advance for optimal seating and table assurance.“

“Eddy's an awesome bartender!“

“I was expecting more. The calamari tasted bland. The muscles were good but my toast was burnt and bland. The desert with the coconut and lime was tasty. Our service was average.“

“Loved coming here for the jazz nights on Tuesdays. Starts at 7 pm. They serve food though haven't tried it yet. Lots of different beers, ciders and sours on tap. Also, have a couple options for non alcoholic beer, which was a huge plus!

We'll be coming back for more music and drinks“

“This bustling place has been growing. I’d love to see one or two up North in Oregon. Good skate parks and beers. Or maybe I just have enjoy the SOCal that much.“

“This place is a real Gem, excellent coffee, tea & pastries. Cigar friendly, with a nice selection for sale. Even as a tourist you get that local neighborhood vibe and they treat ya like family! Staff was so friendly and hospitable! Loved the decor and atmosphere, this place will definitely be one of my go to stops when we visit again!“

“Love this place!! And great 🍕 pizza“

“I attended an event at Meraki last night and absolutely loved the space! It’s beautifully clean, open, and so versatile—you can really make it your own. The food was delicious A++ (my favorite was the Fettuccine Alfredo) and the service was truly top notch. Such a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!“

“Great place ! Of course I haven’t been there since the late 80’s 😉“

“delicious food and friendly service! I love the soup!“

“LOVE the energy and the beautiful colorful spirits who brought this collective together! Some of the most considerate and dynamic artists I know! Everything revolves around culture, growth, unity, and progress. All of the artists they've brought through their doors, where musicians, artisans, and/ or painters have been amazing.“
