“Love this place. Their BBQ chicken pizza is my favorite. It's always the perfect crisp. I love all the toppings in this pizza. Very consistent. And their sweet chili & lemon pepper wings are really good. Packed with flavor. Tried the wagyu sliders but they were NOT a hit. Wasn't flavorful, kinda blain, basic and were so sad the tater tots had no flavor at all. But hella crispy. Atmosphere is cool, tvs and little bar top. The staff is ok. Overall, I'll keep going back.“
“I've been on a burger kick so my husband has been taking me to all his favorite places. I ordered the balboa burger and it was delicious ! Along with the fries , I really enjoyed the aioli sauce. I'm excited to come back and try out the different burgers. Everyone who works here is great ! It's a pretty cool place to drink some beers and play some pool.“
“Best dive bar in the area!!! Has the best burgers and fries I've ever had at a bar! Indoor has wrap around bar and tvs. There is also an outdoor patio with its own bar which opens when the inside gets busy. Come earlier for the very reasonably priced happy hour!! Beer on tap 7 for pint 14 for stein.“
“Came here with a few friends for my first time and had a few apps and lunch. The mussels are to die for and the polpette (a fried meatball) was off the chart. I was told to try the fried chicken piccata sandwich and wasn’t very impressed to be honest. The fries were awesome but the sandwich tasted like fried fish… not my favorite. Service was top notch and the busser was even better.Vegetarian options: Lots of fresh salads and vegetarian appsParking: Attached parking lot behind the restaurant is super easy to park.“
“Had a great time at Goodbar. The bar staff was awesome, everything was reasonably priced. They had a food truck that was really good and that made it fun. We happen to be they're on a night they had music. The band was all original music and it was great.“
“This casual eatery offers burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and good beer at great value. The laid-back atmosphere includes indoor and outdoor seating and heaters for chilly weather.Kid-friendliness: Casual spot with picnic tables and fenced in so kids can play around a bit.“
“We had a cheesesteak here, we are from Philly. They were better than gagliones and the other "title claiming cheesesteak" winners. They needed the amoroso rolls and they would have been solid! However, it is our go-to cheesesteak place. I will say, a bit overpriced. So wasn't a fan of that.“
“Had a wonderful experience here! We got the pretzels and queso (delicious!), sliders, and a burger! Food and drinks were excellent and our server, Curtis, was very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend if you’re in Gaslamp Quarter.“
“This is a hidden gem behind the convention center. I really enjoy this spot as a place to take a break during a leisurely bike ride down by the Harbor. The burgers are good and you can grab a pint of beer if you please. I believe they also make TJ dogs if that's your thing. The seating is outdoor. It's just a really chill spot and I will continue to come here as long as they're around.“
“This place was just lovely! Stopped here on our day out bar hopping and got a $10 bottle of champagne (no OJ) and sat outside while we people watched. They have a popcorn machine which was so awesome as we munched on it, talked and had some drinks. I will definitely be back!“
“This was my second time going to Desi's after being introduced by a friend and let me tell ya, this place is my go-to for a drink. The bartender Gar recognized me after being there only ONCE and he is super cool. I ordered my usual Jameson and coke while we talked about when the cold weather would let up. I also nibbled on some potato wedges which are amazingly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. That's when I spied that they also make Detroit style deep dish pizza. I've never had deep dish and decided to try it for the first time. I kid you not, my taste buds did acrobatics. The crust had a nice crunch but also was springy and soft. The sausage and peppers mixed well with the sauce. Come here if you want to experience a cozy place to eat and drink. You won't be disappointed.“
“Come for Thursday for the $1 wings. That's right folks, just $1! The wings are pretty flavorful and came out quickly. I really enjoyed the wet rub wings, especially the Thai chili flavor. My least favorite was the lemon pepper, which was a bit sour for me. Are they the best wings I've ever had? Probably not. Did they hit the spot? Absolutely. Would I return for the great wing deal? Definitely!Great selection of beers to pair the wings with as well. Reasonable prices for all the beers. Great service.“
“We were in the neighborhood visiting a friend in Kaiser Zion hospital and this place was handy. My hubby had been here a few times years ago with a friend and he recommended it. What a find! This is a great place if you're looking for a bar where the old folks go. The thing is that the old folks know good food and this is it, along with good beer! It was a Taco Tuesday night and they were having a deal which I couldn't refuse. Those with a side salad and a hazy IPA did the trick. Delicious! The hubby had the burger and fries and they were awesome. Plus there's tvs all over the walls and John Wayne memorabilia EVERYWHERE. Seriously.“
“Visiting San Diego this past weekend and meeting up with my long time friend. He recommended this place cause it was on the way to the airport. Place gives you definite dive bar vibes in a Cheers settings. Place was filled with locals enjoying a San Diego morning. Got there early and our waitress greeted me quickly and took my drink order as I was waiting for my friend. Ordered the moco loco breakfast-food came out hot and was very tasty. Got the chance to catch up with my friend and noticed how busy the place got but the patrons were greeted quickly and lead to a place to sit. Have lived in CA my whole life - driven past this place but never tried it. It is truly a great local place and will make a point to visit again.“
“This was our second visit to this place, and once again, we were pleased with our choices. I particularly enjoyed the Cardiff tri-tip option—it adds a nice local touch to the menu, and the burger was exquisite!One thing that bothered me was the need to pay extra for fries instead of chips. While the fries were indeed really good, shouldn't a burger come with fries?The restaurant offers plenty of wine and beer selections, and the service was nice and attentive. However, despite sitting indoors, it was surprisingly cold, even with our jackets on!Overall, while I wouldn't give it a 5-star rating, I still recommend this place“
“I decided to order takeout here because the Mr. Peabody's in Encinitas wasn't picking up & I live closer to this location on Friars Rd than the one located next to Moonlight Beach. Based on their menu, I ordered the NY Steak because it comes with potatoes and salad for under $20. The food was great but nothing mind-blowing. It's just your average diner food with super nice staff. Compared to the Encinitas location, the waitresses here look calm and relaxed. It was also a lot brighter & quieter so you're able to look at the menu without squinting. Unfortunately, they don't have live music in this location but they did have the basketball game playing on the television so I'll definitely be back to watch a game here sometime soon. Price: $$ Location: Close to Fashion Valley Mall Service: Friendly and attentive Parking: Plenty of spots after 8 pm Recommendations: I would go here for the chill & friendly bar atmosphere. They do cater to an older crowd.“
“Me and my girlfriend came for the first time today and we had a blast! Tons of the people from community were at the bar and we met some new friends everyone spoke highly of the place as well. Matt was our bartender and took care of us exceptionally. We had a couple margaritas and wings and all of of it was super tasty. If you're looking for a good place to grab a bite have a drink and relax this place is perfect!“
“Panama 66 offers a vibrant atmosphere that's hard to beat, complete with live jazz bands, a wide array of local craft brews, and a decent food selection. The ambiance sets the perfect backdrop for a chill evening with friends or a laid-back date night. While my tuna melt did taste a bit off, the friendly staff and overall great vibe more than made up for it. Whether you're a jazz enthusiast, a beer aficionado, or just looking for a cool hangout spot, Panama 66 delivers on all fronts. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.“
“This place came up on my feed and me & my guy are always looking for good new places to try. The tuna melt & side salad were excellent. He got the chili burger with tots. No complaints. He did mention that he liked the burger to be "swimming" in chili. I liked the decor and they have a lot of tvs with a variety of sports on.“
“We recently stopped into Bootlegger for a bite and a beverage. Shasta waited on us and was an excellent server. We decided to split a build a burger and ordered a beer each. The burger was enormous and delicious - Thursdays they are on special and you can get as many toppings as you like with no up charges. It’s a good deal. The fries were a bit disappointing because they weren’t crispy enough and kind of soft/limp. It wasn’t super busy the day we went but I imagine during baseball season or weekends it gets pretty crowded there. Bootlegger has a large selection of brews on top. We will definitely be back again.“
“Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating towards kids, our server was so nice to them. A scoop of vanilla ice cream comes free with any kids order (if you want it) he was very careful not to say that so the kids could hear, lol. Crayons and coloring pages, booster seats and high chairs, and a great kids menu“
“We stayed at the Marriott and really enjoyed breakfast and dinner at Shake. They serve Starbucks coffee, smoothies, and American breakfast fare.For dinner, the wine selection was good. The French Rosé I had was excellent and paired well with their Caprese salad. Our server, Vernon, was fantastic. I would definitely eat here again.“
“Stopped by Bubs on a weeknight for some dinner and was pleasantly surprised with how large it was inside. We were sat at a booth and immediately approached by our waitress. We decided to split the Ballpark Nachos and some Buffalo Tots. While both dishes were attractively presented we found the taste to be pretty average bar fare. Neither were anything we would make a special trip here for. They have a ton of tvs with sports on so it’s a great place to watch your favorite game and have a few drinks with friends. Given its location downtown there is no parking lot so you either have to try to find meter street parking or find a paid parking lot somewhere.“
“Hot waiters! Delicious food! FANTASTIC DRAG SHOWS! I had SO much fun attending the Saturday drag brunch this weekend. I didn't know what to expect as I hadn't been before but I'm so glad I did. Awesome atmosphere. Special shout out to waiter Edward J. for helping me get dollar bills for the queens as I'm from out of town and forgot my debit card, and for just being a super helpful and amazing waiter in general. I hope I wasn't too annoying! THANK YOU! Can't wait to come back!“
“Definitely good food, served fresh and hot. The servers are "Johnny on the spot", helpful, polite and ready to help. If you're an "adult", this is the best place to hand out before your flight. Extra bonus, great music!“
“Had an amazing time. The food was outstanding. Some of the best restaurant fries I've ever had. The portions are huge, so please bring an appetite. Our waiter, Manny, was excellent. We couldn't ask for a better waiter. He knew all the details about the meals and how they were prepared. He explained all the house made items (Homemade roll) and even down to the flavors. I'm definitely going back the next chance I get.“
“Every now and then I meet friends here for a drink the bartenders always very friendly always smiling. the food is good service is better atmosphere I can't really tell you I just know there's things on the wall I don't really pay attention I'm usually in my conversation but give it a try you'll enjoy it it's a nice place no drama no problems“
