“I haven't had BBQ this good in San Diego. If you are craving legit smoked meats this place is awesome. service is as good as the food.“

“I live out east nowadays, but I visit my hometown in La Mesa yearly. Came to Curbside for the first time last year, and just now went back again. I wish we had food like this around here when I was growing up!! My gosh, the short rib beef is incredible. Had it on a salad last time, and just now had the short rib taco along with an equally impressive fish taco. I got a few bites of the beef kebab too, and it was just as top-notch! Great seating options with a view of La Mesa Blvd. Good beer list too. And wonderful staff. I wish I had more time to try more of the menu—but I’ll be back every time I’m in San Diego down the line. Wishing the best to Curbside!“

“great service from Jeff! Food hit the spot, too.“

“Amazing Restaurant, great food and service I had a sandwich with steak and a Caesar Salad delicious. Cozy place love the decoration. Will come back for sure.“

“Excellent food and very good service. Everything was delicious and the portions were huge. It was expensive for breakfast, but great for a special occasion.“

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.“

“Absolutely the most creative menu in the City! Great Atmosphere, great choices. We always leave amazed at our experience and eager to return“

“We ate lunch here and had the most fantastic meal. I ordered the seared ahi, we also got the avocado salad bowl and the lamb kofta. My daughter is vegan and she had a great meal ordering the tofu selection. The flavors were so well balanced and the food so meticulously prepared, it was truly a five-star dining experience. Don't leave until you've had the banana tapioca with mango on top! The setting is beautiful, we sat outside. The lemonades were delicious .If you are looking for an elevated dining experience in the park, this is your place!“

“Very popular spot good food minus the onions“

“Gorgeous view and atmosphere“

“They have an impressive drink selection and a massive portion of the beers are on tap. They have flights you can mix and match as well. The food menu is also extensive, along with having vegan and gluten sensitive options. Our waiter, Don, was absolutely fantastic. He was able to recommend multiple drinks I enjoyed and pointed us in the right direction with the food as well. The service was quick, the food was amazing, and everything is very reasonably priced. I don't think you can go wrong here.“

“First time here, loved coconut shrimp appetizer, really enjoyed smokehouse burger, and also liked chicken mango salad.\t The Mai Tai was very enjoyable as was the mojito. Service was friendly and timely. For desert had a snickers croffle and that was a miss for us (no crunch and waffle/croissant was very dense and hard to eat).“

“Stopped in for a late lunch and witnessed the GM, Philip, handle an erratic and aggressive customer with calm and utmost professionalism. He apologized to us for the incident, although clearly he was not responsible for that person's rude behavior. We had delicious sandwiches and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere. We WILL be back!“

“Loved everything we got tonight, the chicken sandwich, pulled pork, amazing! So were the fried Mac and cheese balls!!!!“

“This was a great lunch spot! We stopped in around 3pm on a Friday. An employee greeted us when we walked up to explain how everything worked. It's an entirely outdoor restaurant. The tables on the exterior look out into the central square. There is a ton of seating. You order your food at the counter, get a number and your drinks and sit down. People will come by to give you napkins and utensils.

We ordered a Park Burger, a beer and a double chocolate ice cream sandwich. The burger was cooked medium well (as I requested) and it was delicious! They put pickles and onions on the side. There was a generous portion of french fries to go with it as well. The beer was quite large (12oz I believe) and cost $9. The ice cream sandwich was rather small and cost $8 but it was plenty sweet to satisfy a craving.

When we were ordering, my husband couldn't decide on which dark beer to get out of two choices, so the person taking our order offered him a sample of each before we finished our order so he could choose one. We were really impressed by how friendly and charming all of the servers were. My husband and I unexpectedly decided to split the burger, and someone came by and gave us another plate to help split the food. I really enjoyed my experience here. If we lived in the area, we'd definitely be back! Great San Diego lunch spot. Highly recommend.“

“I had the pleasure of visiting Cali BBQ while staying in the area. There wasn't a wait to be seated which was nice. My server was very polite, attentive and helpful. When I visit a bbq place for the first time I usually try their brisket. If you can't do great brisket then you should just close up shop. Cali's brisket was easily one of the best briskets I have ever had. Tender with a smoke that was on point. I had the sandwich but if I am ever lucky enough to get back to Spring Valley my plan is to order the plate. I chose Mac &Cheese as a side and it was very nicely done. Such excellent food!! I liked that I could sit and watch one of the TVs if I wanted to but ignoring them was possible too. The vibe was very inviting and comfortable. I look forward to visiting again!“

“My wife and I went to this cozy place for dinner based on a recommendation. GOOD CALL! Our server was pleasant and checked in on us to make sure we were happy. The food was delivered fast and hot. We shared the 16 oz. T-bone steak. It came out pre cut, ready to share. We also ordered a wonderfully great big salad and a wonderful empanada with beef. The empanada was pleasantly spicy, but not overly. The steak came with lovely potatoes. We also ordered a side of broccolini. I’m not a big veg guy, but I have to say the broccolini was delicious. All said the meal wasn’t the cheapest, but was worth every bite.“

“Great music with Whitney Shay“

“A lovely date night restaurant. We didn't do the thing where you get a steak from the deli but def on the list. The burger was the highlight. Spicy Caesar one of the top Caesar salads I've ever had. Wine selection is great and the staff is incredibly nice.“

“Amazing food and amazing staff! My husband and I went for breakfast and ordered the meatloaf Benedict and the chicken and waffles tower. They were huge portions but so so delicious! The staff was super friendly and were very happy to be at work. Highly recommend!“

“Cody, Bellman a fine hospitable team member. Inflated 🚲 tire. 🎩 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Wowwwww !!! GRAND OPENING DAY!!! Urbane Cafe Chula Vista UFFF staff was on point despite that they were busy. Food is super fresh and really good. Love the vegan options. There is something for everyone in the menu. Wish you good luck and happy to have them you in our community 😊 Katia EFTG“

“What a fantastic place! Food was excellent and great proportions, likely the best flatbread I’ve ever had. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend and will return if in the area again.“

“Great vibe, delicious food, and wonderful service!

Agave Grill & Café is a fantastic find in Chula Vista! The lounge area has the cutest, most relaxing atmosphere that makes it a perfect spot to get some writing done or catch up with a friend over brunch. The service is consistently top-notch and attentive. I highly recommend trying the flavorful chilaquiles or the avocado toast paired with a dirty chai latte. It's an unassuming gem from the outside, but absolutely worth a visit!“

“Service 💯 Food 💯 Drinks 💯“

“Everything about that place! Just AMAZING!“

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

“We had a business dinner here. 6 of us. It's set up nicely for this purple. We sat at high table with power outlets in the middle tho we didn't need them. Atmosphere felt like you were in a nice hotel lobby. Which is exactly where you are. Service was prompt and attentive. Food was very good. Guacamole and chips for appetizers (good). I had ribeye for my meal (excellent). Pizza, tacos, burgers, fish & chips, salmon tried by others. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. All enjoyed their beer and cocktails too. Nice bar setup. Certainly a great place for a business dinner and I would say a nice place to stop in for any meal.“

“They have a white sangria that the wife just LOVES. Have to stop in every once in a while and grab a glass“

“I had an excellent experience with Alan. His service was incredibly fast and efficient, and he was very friendly throughout the process.“

“You guys are the real MVPs Not having a special menu goes the extra mile to show that you’re willing to show gratitude to veterans. Now I’m a regular after eating here. Shout out for the flank steak last night. Our server Belle was great as well.“

“I happened to find this cidery through National Cider month this year. I was so excited to try their cider that I signed up for their monthly cider club, sadly to find out that they don't ship to Minnesota. They worked with me on sending a few of their ciders though and I was hooked!

Fast forward a few months and I happen to be in San Diego so we decided to stop in. The atmosphere was amazing! It was like finding a piece of the woods in the middle of busy San Diego. The staff was fantastic to interact with, the food was so delicious, and the cider is fabulous! I have a huge love for dry ciders and their ciders check those boxes. Even the non-dry ciders are not overly sweet. Definitely will be back and hoping one day I can get their cider back here in Minnesota.“

“I walked into this shop for dinner service. I was immediately greeted, and offered a seat by the hostess at the front end shop.

The menu has options for everyone, and I tried the Orange Chicken w/ Jasmine Rice for dinner today.

The food and service was excellent, with the server checking up on me three times during my stay at the shop. The service was top notch and I was impressed with the chef's as well.

The portion was acceptable and the food came out hot. The time of the order, the shop was busy—so I rather everyone take their time too make sure everything turns out right.

Great job.“

“Literally one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever had. They delivered 25 min after my order was placed. Fries were still crispy!!! Very delicious.“

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

“Yummy food. Had the 805 fries and #5 Lumpia“

“Love this spot. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and somehow the windows are always unbelievably clean. I may be a little biased because we clean them, but every time I stop by I’m reminded why glass is supposed to be invisible. 😆

The bourbon selection is awesome, the cocktails are on point, and the staff always make you feel welcome. Whether you’re hanging out inside or enjoying the outdoor seating, it’s just one of those places that’s easy to spend a few hours at.

Come for the drinks, stay for the crystal-clear view through the cleanest windows in town. 🍻🪟😂

Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.“
