“Quite possibly the best BBQ I have had in quite sometime! Friends & Family were craving BBQ and chose this new place that recently opened. It's always good to try new places & new flavors. We were immediately greeted by several staff members with warm smiles. Wow, I was impressed with how good the BBQ and sides were (And my hometown is Kansas City) so that's a lot to say, including their sauce! By the way I then noticed they are known for Kansas City style BBQ. I thank the staff for their excellent customer service. Much to our surprise, a staff member came over and offered us complimentary cheesecake - and it was yummy! The Barn House BBQ is a "Must Have" whenever in town & craving some tasty food, service & restaurant atmosphere, as I felt I was actually in Kansas City - Cheers!“
“Stumbled across this gem. If you're in the San Diego area, I highly recommend. The food was great and so was the service. Ribs and pulled pork were my favorite. Sides were delicious too. Mac, baked beans, and slaw were all good. The corn bread is the best I've ever had. Spacious place to hang out with friends.“
“Great little tucked away place with good food for the price. Service from Alejandro was great. Took the time to chat and fill our drinks.Brisket was good and all the sides were good. Try the mashed potatoes. The Turkey was good and had a smokey taste. Will come again.“
“Fantastic BBQ. The best I've had outside of Texas.There's a line and they sell out so get there early.On a Saturday, we showed up at about 540 and by the time we got to order they had run out of the pork spare ribs.We did get just about everything else and it was fantastic.The sauces were great too. Also don't forget the sides! We got the potato salad and had to go back and get more because it was so good. We will definitely be going back again!“
“1st time ever here. My sister bragged about it forever until finally after a loooooong day at Legoland celebrating my son's 3rd birthday we decide to eat there for dinner. I ordered the Loaded baked potato burger...BOOOOMB!!! Sooo delicious I wanna go back for more. Anyway, my son was asleep when we got there and literally when he peaked and woke up. Our waitress Jacqueline paid attention and got him a little brownie to sing to him....he was soooo happy. Jacqueline really made our night with great food suggestions and attentive to with my family. Highly recommend it there. Definitely going back...thank you soooo much for a great finish to a great day“
“Really good service. Very friendly and professional. Food was well prepared and favorable. Had our preteen granddaughters with us, and they enjoyed their meals a lot.Dietary restrictions: We shared our allergy issues, and all meals were free of issues.Kid-friendliness: They have a small game area that we enjoyed.“
“This restaurant is in downtown La Mesa seriously amazing. Probably the best burger I've ever had. I got to be the last burger before they sold out. it was so juicy but honestly this sauce they put on top has like southwest flavoring, and they have roasted poblano peppers on top of the burger. So much flavor but not falling apart. This place is clean, nice and the most accommodating staff. The owners were there and took care of us personally. It's definitely worth the line.“
“I just finished an order of ham. Outstanding flavor and texture. I bought it from the "by the pound" menu. It was sliced and covered in sauce and cooked to perfection. I also bought a pound of turkey. The meat here is served as an individual serving, a family meal, or enough to serve a large party. If friends drop by in large number, you can count on having enough to serve within a half hour including the drive. The price for two pounds of ham and one pound of turkey was about $58. That would not go far at a place like Kentucky fried chicken. And you won't be forced to eat legs and thighs. The value is of high standard and wasn't effected to badly by Joe's inflation. This is good American cuisine that will satisfy people of all nationalities. The staff is very friendly and a real pleasure to interact with. And here is something you don't run into much anymore, they speak English, and they accept cash. This place is crowded during lunch hour with construction workers and personnel from Miramar marine base across the street. Parking is hard to come by, and I've had to go elsewhere on more than one occasion. But in a review of just the quality of food and service, this is an excellent place to eat. And an above average place to take lunch or dinner. And a place that will provide an unsurpassed meal for a playoff party.Parking: Lots of stores and few spots.“
“It's such a special experience,Coleslaw's excellent I had the pork ribs excellent-$22, cornbread $6 excellent , potato salad excellent, The vibe in the back patio is fantastic, they've got it set up so it's just ultra cool in the back, Go with a group of people it's even better , there's plenty of cozy tables that have their own little area, there's art on the walls, and then plenty of tables in the center to sit in the back and then there's a big fireplace and then in the very back is a big cigar lounge and then the owners hang out in the back and they're super fun.“
“This place was a pleasant surprise for me. The food was very delicious and we came on a great day where it was cold and rainy outside.It look a little but longer than usual to receive the food and bill, but the taste of the food, friendly service, and great atmosphere made up for that x 10. I wish I lived closer to keep eating here!“
“Let me say BBQ is not my jam. HOWEVER I QUE was delish!! Service was absolutely amazing! I will definitely go back again and again and share. But once it’s gone … they are gone! So GO NOW !!! I believe they are open :Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday ( limited hours)“
“Wood Ranch is a little pricey, but it is well worth it. All meals come with complimentary garlic rolls, and they are delicious! I ordered the lunch special, which came with 2 sliders, a soup or salad, and a side. It was a large amount of food, and everything tasted amazing! I highly recommend the Western Tri Tip.“
“I ordered Cali BBQ for the first time tonight and the 5 star reviews aren't lying. I ordered a combo plate with ribs and brisket that were both amazing. The coleslaw and potato salad were both super fresh and delicious, and I'm pretty picky about those side dishes because they're often lackluster from other restaurants. My husband had the brisket sandwich and he was in heaven, saying it was one of the best sandwiches he's ever eaten. I ordered peach cobbler to round out the meal but haven't eaten it yet (I'm so full and still have a whole meal's worth of food for tomorrow!) but it looks and smells legit. So happy I finally tried this restaurant after 2 years of living in the neighborhood!“
“I love manna. It's my preferred kbbq spot. I love all the sides and salads and additional options. I love their table set up and how efficient the service is. It's seriously always a good time. I went last night for the 100th time and it was just as great. Jason was our server and he seriously crushed it. He was always around to get us another side, napkin, water - whatever we needed. Not to mention the music they play in there is a serious vibe for girlies who do the little dance when you start eating. It's a real vibe and as always - I'll definitely be back.“
“Do you like to eat intestines? This is the go to place for some of the best mouthwatering tasty intestines you will ever find! They specialize in intestines and offer 4 different types: small, large, abomasum and tripe.They do have other cuts of meats as well and they are all very tasteful. But if you love intestines this is the usual go to. Besides bbq they do offer other selection of food: tofu soups, rice dishes, jjajjamyun, and appetizersThey are not AYCE. They have different order option and the quality and quantity is very great so!Plz do keep in mind the meat quality is that greater than any AYCE which is why price is a little on the higher end but very well worth it.Every bbq order comes with corn cheese, kimchi stew, side dishes and salad. They do offer a great selection of dipping sauces for your meat don't be afraid to ask. I recommend vinegar on the side for your intestines.Service is always great and fast. They come around and moved around and cook the meat for you which is nice.“
“If your on the edge about this place, jump off the cliff. Cause it's a place you can't take the chance to miss. Everything we ordered was on par or above expectation. The meet was tender and juicy beyond belief, we all fought over the corn bread, but the surprise of the night was how unbelievable their turkey was! We were blown away by the quality and the amazing work ethic that must have gone into cooking such flavourful food. Kudos to everyone in house. Yall are great at your craft and we appreciate you for it.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian itemsDietary restrictions: They have allergen free items“
“The service at a stellar 20/10! Angela and Vittorio took care of us, creating a homely atmosphere. The place itself feels so cozyThe food adventure began with the steak tartare and bone marrow. The tartare was fantastic, but the bone marrow portion left us wanting more.For the main course, we got the perfectly grilled ribeye with organic veggies and chimichurri. The bison burger, while good, could benefit from a more pronounced pistachio pesto flavor.Despite our fill bellies, Angela surprised us with a slice of limoncello cake. It was a burst of freshness, perfectly balancing sweetness. A delightful end to an exceptional dining experience!“
“This place is one of my favorites in the list of hotpots. I have never tried their bbq because I have a favorite place for that but the hotpot is great and the options are as well. Totally recommended. It is a ayce. What else can you ask for?! You won't regret this place, and you'll totally come back.“
“I have passed by Izzy's so many times over so many years and the place is easy to miss. If you miss it, you are missing out! Amazing food, friendly service. It is always packed, so be prepared to wait. Although, you really won't wait too long. And, it's totally worth the wait! Be sure to get their coffee cake muffin, and ask for one to go! Can't go wrong with the corned beef hash. I am always on the lookout for a small breakfast place to be my go-to. This is the one!“
“The food quality and the staff's service are top notch. However, the pricing is way off. After spending $150 on two people I was hungry so went to H Mark down the street and got a pastry. I also ate a spare jerky that was left in my car. The tea was delicious as well.Next time, I'll probably go to the Korean BBQ in the same shopping center and the two of us will eat and be full for 1/3 the price.“
“Maybe just short of 4 stars, but 3.75 stars wasn't an option.Food was mostly decent. But, it was (maybe?) a bit old (crusty mac and cheese, dried out chicken wings). But, perhaps that's my fault for not getting there at noon (when they open, and everything is fresh).Tri tip (they cook it well done) was good. Sausage and ribs were good. Pulled pork was so-so. Potato salad and baked beans were quite good. Coleslaw was disappointing.It's the closest BBQ spot to where I live. So, I might try coming earlier next time. But, I might not give it another shot so late in the day.“
“The food was amazing ! I love eating BBQ. I got some brisket with some ribs and had to try the BBQ and Buffalo Wings. I definitely recommend eating here. The staff was very attentive and provided excellent service. Above and beyond ! Thank you for the great experience !“
“Came in to watch the big game. Had a pepperoni and jalapeño pizza, it was perfectly accompanied by one of the best Cesar salads I've ever had. Full leaf and slightly grilled romaine lettuce was top notch. Great neighborhood bar with a large menu.“
“I don't know how i haven't left a review here before! I've been going here for years. At least 5/6. I come every Monday for wing night and it's my absolute favorite tradition, I've never had an issue with the service or attitudes. I know all of the serves by name and they all know me. They're always very polite. And the wings are always phenomenal! They always do their best to accommodate whoever i bring and even bring out heaters if it's too cold outside. I am absolutely obsessed with west coast and all of its employees.“
“One one the best BBQ sandwiches I've ever had. I'm from Arizona and was visiting SoCal for the day and just happened to stumble upon Phil's. The food and service were really outstanding. Their BBQ sauce has a unique taste and is delicious! The sandwich was huge! I wish they had a location in Arizona. We'll be back next time we visit.“
“For my third times ordering a lechon here in USA this is my first time that I can say “the best lechon” taste like Cebu lechon very juicy too . Affordable price . I ordered last week and all the visitors asking where I got the lechon. Next time again !“
“Get the Marinated Beef Short Rib ! TRUST ME ! Came here when we were going through convoy looking for something to eat. I remembered my buddy recommended this place and thought I should give it a try. Came in and was greeted with hospitality which was always a plus because I felt welcomed. Our server Nate was recommending us items on the menu. All in all we tried the Beef marinated short rib, beef bulgolgi, spicy chicken, beef fingers, short rib steak, shrimp and a ribeye steak. Also we had cheese corn as an appetizers and it was fabulous. The prices here were more reasonable than other Korean BBq spots which is always a plus. Definitely coming back and getting double the beef marinated short rib ?“
“This place has just become number 1 in my list. We go to so many different places in a regular week and the meat at this place is so delicious, they deserve like 10 stars. Plus the charcoal BBQ is another game. Best dinner of the month so far. People working were also super nice and attentive. The local was clean and the atmosphere and music is good. I'm definitely looking forward to come back soon. Good job team!Edit to add:I was here yesterday again. Only two days after the first time and again I can o ly say that it is going to be incredibly difficult to find another Korean bbq that can top this one. I shouldn't say this much because the wait might get even longer but to be honest it is realllyyyy good and I can't get enough. I'll be back in another 2 days.“
“It has been in Fletcher Hills forever and is just as outstanding as the first time. The only thing that has changed, is the prices. The bean soup is like Mom made it, always a must for me. If you like beef stew, get there early on Fridays, as it always sells out.“
“Korean barbecues are interesting used to go to one over in the Island of Oahu with my wife it was fun they had some type of a chicken that was amazing have been for a long time this place is a good check out I try it if I was you God bless you and have a great “
“The food was GREAT! We went around lunch time on a weekday and it was picking up. I also got the biegnets and they were light and soft on the inside, crispy and sugary on the outside. The etouffee, gumbo and red beans and rice is what we had and all of the food was flavorful and hot from the kitchen. We saw a lot of people ordering the baskets and they looked really good. We are going back to try those soon.“
“Really cool little spot. With very reasonable prices. We got three different items and they were all great. We got a couple different stuffed buns that they have and they were both very good and we also got some pork and that was amazing as well. The ladies that work there are all very friendly and you’re in and out of there quick because it’s like a cafeteria style line.“
“I gotta give this place a five star rating cause the service was great and the food was delicious. Comparing it to Epic Wings, I can honestly say this place might even beat it, especially cause the strips were more crispier.One thing is for sure, I will be returning and choosing it over Epic Wings. Oh, and this place has way more options with food and sauces.“
“Attending a mixer function hosted by the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce.It was okay. I did try their whisky!First time for me. I learn from other people that the fermentation process can last couple years and not gone bad.Personally I can't say much of their products being it's my first time tasting it. I want to try it, cuz the night was freezing and I need some alcohol to get me warmer. LolThe parking was a b****. Luckily when I arrived there were two spots left!!! HehheheheI didn't try their food. Or was the food stands theirs?! No clue.“
“This is my go to Korean BBQ. I like the freedom to choose what I want to eat without restrictions or waiting for the server just to eat. No alcohol but that doesn't bother me.Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options but it's too pricey to go there for that.“
“First time here, no wait in line. Ribs are fall off the rib, and super yummy. Also grab the Mac and Cheese. Super friendly staff asking how we were when we got there and while we were eating. It’s clean and lots of space to move around. Definitely try it out.“
“Our bartender really wanted to find drinks we would enjoy. She made me a wonderful drink called the white girl which I am and it was delicious. This is the oldest bar in san diego. Check it out beautiful bar back and lots of memorabilia. Walk onto history and just soak up all those who came before you.“
“My parents use to work here way, way ,WAY back in the day when it was owned by the Jensen's. This is one of the few things I do miss about California. Whenever I'm back in Southern California, I always make sure to stop in. Great food, great atmosphere. All around, a definite must.“
“Long wait, but open until midnight so it all worked out. Cute little two seater tables. Meat came out sooo quick once ordered. Not sure if this was on purpose or not, but meat portions seemed to be smaller for just us two. Which was nice because we were able to try a variety instead of being hindered with a few huge amounts of the same meat. Highly recommend the bulgogi.Service was great, dishes got cleared quickly to make space, wait staff was attentive and friendly. Seems to attract a younger crowd. (Parking was awful, but did eventually find street parking)“
“Consistently GOOD! Always made to order and the food is fresh as can be for fast food. Great customer service and friendly staff. Restaurant is clean and plenty of seating available. I recommend the chicken katsu plate with rice and mac salad or all mac salad. The servings are very generous and the price is fair.“
“Literally everything I have eaten is 10/10, the attention, the image of the place you literally feel like you are eating in Korea, I haven't eaten a taste of that style of authentic Korean food in years, and the beer uff very good the kass and a very good price ?? and the snow macaroni is another level, and I recommend that you order galbi de rib“
“Nice lamb mixiote and lamb barbacoa served here by the kilo, or in tacos. I am partial to the mixiote, but would recommend the "Taco Suave de Barbacoa" if you wanted a bite-size sampler of what this humble but high-quality operation is capable of. Omar S.'s review has all the in-depth detail you need, and you should read it.“
“Great experience. The food was excellent. Our server Anthony did a great job helping us out today. Service was quick and got us everything we needed. They're very reliable. The setting is very nice. If you're looking for a place with a relaxing environment without being too quiet or too loud this is the place to go.“

“The food is freshly prepared and not like typical Filipino cantinas where you point at the food, which has been out for awhile. Their bowls have the right amount of rice, meat and veggies. Well balanced meal and not greasy. Highly recommended for a modern feel of traditional Filipino food. We need to make Filipino food match the modern times. So happy too that it's near my home and not all the way in Clairemont or Mira Mesa.Parking: No problem with parking even during a rainy day.“
“The food was very great and very flavorful in comparison to a KBBQ place. The server we had was super nice and eligible about any questions that we had he was very great at attending us a little there were periods where no one would come to check on us at all. Overall it was very good but a little pricey. I would recommend this place.Parking: Location is right by Trader Joe’s so parking situation can be tricky has many people are shopping at Trader Joe’s“
“Delicious! This place has been on my list for a while and it did not disappoint. The tri tip sandwich and brisket sandwich were delicious! The meat was so tender. Potato salad was a winner. Green beans were too salty. Plain fries were another hit! The loaded fries were too much for me... plus they have a great drink menu. Sauces were underwhelming - they had a strong vinegar taste. However, the sandwich didn't need any more sauce! Beyond delicious as is. Also, I haven't found a restaurant to serve Not Your Fathers Root Beer until now! Service was polite, friendly, and prompt. This restaurant is family friendly. It's a great, casual, atmosphere that offers both indoor and outdoor seating. There are heaters, fun old school music playing in the faint background, and fun Disney references sprinkled in the decor! I'll be back :)“
“We love Korean Bbq!. Love this location. It's so much more open than their other location in Chula Vista. The vents are amazing that you barely smell any smoke. You never leave smelling like Korean bbq. The service was excellent. The kids loved the robots. We will definitely be back“
“Oh my God! It tastes like Christmas at grandmas house in Georgia. THIS is what I’ve been looking for. I’m new from the east coast & soul food is hard to come by in this city. I had the catfish, greens & beans, unfortunately they were out of Mac n cheese, but judging by the catfish & greens I already know the Mac b cheese will not disappoint. I’ll be back every weekend for sure.“
“The ssssalivation is REAL! Coop knows how to do it right! His Q is legit. Tasty, tender, juicy ribs n brisket that don’t need any sauce. Every bite that slides off the bone has loads of smokiness. They go down like buttahh... But, le’me tell you, that spicy sauce is so dope. It’s bursting with so much flavor and adds some heat to the bites. It’s just a cherry on top of the sundae. So ask for the spicy sauce. It’s so good.Their sides are all great. Starting with that cornbread. The pieces are huge and perfect. They have the right amount of moisture that they don’t get all crumbly n crummy. So yummy! I could stop there, but I love their bbq beans that have chunks of pineapple. Didn’t expect that my first time there when they first opened. But I’ve been a sucker for it ever since. If you don’t want something sweet, the red beans n rice are also great. They even have chunks of the brisket in it. I must say, I never really had collard greens till I discovered Coops. I’ve had it since at other places, but I really like the way they make the greens here. I always gotta have it on my plate to complete my scrumptious meal. I usually order for pick up and bring my stash home for the fam. There is limited seating inside and outside if you can’t wait to get home. The tortuous drive is the hardest part for me!Thanks for keeping the legend goin, Coop!(The only drawback: the hours! Please stay open past 3pm. People don’t grab dinner before then. The business will at least triple if it stayed open to at least 6-7pm! And summer is coming!I’ll do (5) stars for service then. ; D )“
