“My 1st time here mid May 2024.Super sweet and fast service, fun old fashion atmosphere and cool old time decor. Great local place. Large portions, quality food. Clean restaurant and restrooms. This was my 1st visit however, they have been here a long while and pushed hard to stay open during Covid-19. Parking lot is small, however we had no issue.“

“I love the food at this restaurant.“

“Sage at Barona Casino has always been a great spot. It's a great atmosphere to walk into. Food is great with nice portions and the prices are well worth it! You have to try their Prime Rib or World Famous French Toast! Afterwards, go hit the casino floor and try your luck! Thank you Barona for becoming 100% Smoke FREE!!!“

“Love the Barona!! Highly recommend!! I live in Texas and was going to be in the San Diego area for my job. I frequent Winstar casino in Oklahoma and booked a stay with Steven at the Barona. It blows Winstar away!! This place is beautiful and we loved the balcony view from our room. Steven checked on us throughout our stay and ensured we were having a good time. Ask for Steven, he is amazing! The slots were loose and we had a fantastic time. We loved the food court and you must have a cinnamon roll from the coffee shop!! Already planning our next trip to stay at the Barona Casino and Resort!!“

“Awesome food. It never disappoints. You’ll be glad you came.“

“The sandwiches are absolutely amazing. For $10 the sandwich is also a big portion. This deli reminds me of a New York deli absolutely incredible. The owners are very sweet. Also welcoming reminds me of the type of love my grandparents had you were treated as family as the minute you walked in. Definitely will be returning“

“It was my first time visiting Coin Haus, and I had an amazing time. The atmosphere was fun and full of good vibes. Jose, one of the staff members, was fantastic—he took the time to explain how everything worked and was super friendly throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a great time with a welcoming atmosphere!“

“Swami's has the perfect local vibe with great food and great service! We recommend them to visitors and locals who don't know yet. It is a great La Mesa dining option!“

“Cali Burgers, fries, Chicken sandwich, Fish and coleslaw. The food here and service is great come see for yourself.“

“amazing fish stew better than any you'd find in La Jolla!“

“We had a family birthday party here and the patio is perfect since there are younger kids in attendance. I love the decorations and have always gotten friendly and efficient service. There is variety of food options for everyone and portions are generous. Feels like we are dining in some of the best places in Mexico! The dessert that keeps me coming is the coconut flan - it is heaven!!“

“My friend Jerry and I had lunch on Saturday at around 1 pm and we shared the meatloaf dinner. Unfortunately we both got really sick from it and thought it was food poisoning. Luckily we didn’t have to go to emergency but suffered from it for a long time. We will never have that again. We are regular customers and enjoy the potato cheese soup.“

“The Not-so-Tots are great. Order them with no liquid cheese, only shredded cheese (unless you like liquid imitation cheese). The chili cheese dogs are pretty good too. The hamburgers, are pretty awful. Every time I have ordered one, the meat has been stale. That kind of almost rancid fat taste. I gave it 4 stars overall, because tater tot nachos? Doesn't get much better than that. Atmosphere is lacking, the tables are crowded together, and they're always busy, so service is so-so.“

“Had a great time. Food was amazing and our server Casey was even better. My wife and I will definitely be coming back to sit in her area. Mozzarella sticks were amazing So is there chicken piccata. Looking forward to trying more on the menu“

“Extremely generous portion sizes. My mom had the watermelon salad which was unique and refreshing, i had the french dip which is what i always order and is how i judge restaurants, and it was great. fries are amazing and the au jus is rosemary infused which made it delightfully fragrant but not over powering. and my mom’s espresso martini came in a chilled glass which is a nice touch. the bread was also hot and very good. oh plus excellent service! and i like that you can hear the live music but it’s not so loud. highly recommend (:“

“Grand Slam of a place ! Been coming since childhood and never disappointed.“

“We had the greatest server, Taylor in your Rancho San Diego restaurant, Jamacha Road,. She was so personable, efficient, friendly and extremely attentive. The food arrived hot and it was delicious. It was a party of 3, and we all agreed the meals were the best we’ve had out in a long time. We thoroughly enjoyed it and Taylor made our experience delightful!!! We’ll definitely return to this establishment.

Parking: Disabled parking is conveniently positioned.“

“T&A Adventures is @ The Hills Local Pub in La Mesa California having THE BEST BURGER of our adventures so far! I mean WOW! Juicy deliciousness! Garlic Parm Burger - Half Pound patty, candied jalapeño bacon, swiss, garlic aioli, arugula, tomato, brioche bun, parmesean crisp - Served w Fries. Absolute 🔥! Our Server "Jordan" was awesome too.“

“This was a lovely restaurant I came to for my friend's birthday. Every guest seemed to like their dish. I ordered a club sandwich (no bacon, no tomatoes) with a side of fries but I was a bit disappointed when they brought it with bacon and tomatoes. They sent it back and corrected the order, and it ended up being pretty good and very filling. The restaurant has an outdoor terrace that has a beautiful view on the pool area.“

“it's always a great place to eat. It hits the spot everytime. Dawson was so kind taking the order. I appreciate great Customer Service !“

“I recently had the pleasure of enjoying brunch at Red Tail, and it exceeded all expectations. The impeccable service provided by Avery added an extra layer of delight to the experience. From the spot-on food to the clean ambiance, every aspect of my visit was truly enjoyable. Avery's efficiency stood out, making it a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!“

“Our waitress today was Maya. She was very attentive! We had a great dining experience today.“

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

“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!“
