“ohana Hawaiian island BBQ is the best in town I've been coming here since my son was one and a half he's seven now and it has become his favorite food I bring him here as a reward when he's a good kid thank you ohana you have become part of my family 🙏❤️“

“I don't know of anything this side of Hawaii like this food. Alwats a treat. Waiting area is a bit hot and stuffy do I takw out. My only complaint is the online ordering platform is loke Mussion Incompoorehensible. I chose National City and in the end it presents stores across the entire country to choose from. Seriouly??? What are you thinking??The choices of gravy katsu sauce(is there a difference?) Rice and god knows what made mo sense at all after already choosing the plate I wanted. This once again is a function of corporate managers that dont test/proofread their scripts. The food is excellent and unique.“

“Delicious Filipino grilled favorites on demand!

My dad loves coming here because when we go shopping for ingredients of his native food, we can come get prepared delicious meals on hand.

Cafeteria style, you can choose from grilled fish, meats, vegetable and meat dishes, noodles, desserts and more!

My recommendation

Grilled pompano fish
Laing (taro leaves in coconut milk)
Lechon kawali (crispy pork)“

“If you and your family and friends are within an hour of this place, do it. Everyone will have a selection they rave about! Service is perfect and the tastes, appetizers, mains, wines, and deserts. Tell everyone!“

“Haven't been in over a year and came back with the family and it is great to see them doing well! Great feel always and the food never disappoints. Love the brisket and tri-tip, and the cornbread is always great! If you want good BBQ in east county this is our favorite!! (Was a little warm inside, even the server was sweating but it was an extremely hot day and better than outside!)“

“Absolutely the best BBQ food! Generous portions. Take-out was ready quickly. Amazing onion rings. 😋 The staff were great.“

“Yumm. No cayenne heat in the sauce which I appreciate, just flavorful spices. Idk if there is cayenne or not it’s just not hot. Liked potato salad and loved the beans n fries.“

“Our boy is raving about u guys!“

“Every time we’ve gone, the food is good. They also have a good choice of craft beers on hand rotating. The service can be either really good or really bad. They have forgotten about us and left us waiting for a check for 40 minutes. I ordered a hamburger with two slices of cheese, when they served it the hamburger only had one slice. I asked the waitress if she could just take it back and add another slice of cheese. I am more than happy to pay for it. She blew a huffing sound, shrugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes and said whatever and walked away with the plate. When she brought it back, she sat the plate down and said, “Do you have enough cheese now”. My wife and I have actually enjoyed going to this place, but that waitress has turned me off for a while for sure.“

“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.“

“The food and service and always amazing!!! And so got to meet Mr Coop himself today!!!“

“What a wonderful place to grab some great barbecue. The beef ribs were excellent, the pulled pork sandwiches juicy, the brisket had great flavor, and the pork ribs were wonderful. The woman who assisted us was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. It’s a great place to eat some meat!“

“I picked up some ribs and a sandwich for dinner last night and the food was awesome as always. Portions were big enough that I had leftovers. Corbin O'Reilly and Vince always make me feel special!“

“I stumbled upon this bar while exploring the neighborhood and ended up staying for hours. It has a rustic interior, friendly staff, and an impressive list of craft beers — both local and international. The bartender was super knowledgeable and let me sample a few before I picked my favorite. They also had board games available, which made the night even more fun. Solo or with friends — great place to chill.“

“Took a wrong turn on the freeway and that lead us to this place. We had been wanting to come in and took this as a sign. We went for the two meat meal- brisket and pork ribs with bbq beans and cole slaw. Delicious!! Brisket was fork tender and full of flavor, pork ribs were seasoned perfectly and just right. The baked beans and slaw were just as good. We liked that they let you put your own sauce on. The tables have their house made sauces, bbq and a bbq mustard. Both fantastic! They have beef ribs but only on Sundays, so we’ll need a return trip( oh darn!) Definitely have some new fans here. Oh and worth noting, we got one meal which was plenty for the two of us.“

“This was our go-to spot before the game and it didn’t disappoint. Super fun atmosphere with interactive games to play with friends, and the sliders were actually really good. Tons of TVs so you don’t miss any of the action. The best part for me was the open rooftop — gave it that outdoor feel without having to deal with the heat. Great vibes all around!“

“Staff very attentive and friendly“

“I've been to this place 10+ times. It's a small mom & pop spot, serving the type of Korean fare that you might expect. It's widely considered to be one of the best Korean joints in SD and I don't dispute that. But the star of the show is the Kimchi jiggae. I usually don't order Kimchi jiggae in restaurants, but the kimchi jiggae here is my absolute favorite, and I always get it. Their banchan is also simple yet excellent. If you want Korean food staples in SD, this is the place. Parking can be difficult, but it's Convoy, so you should know the drill.“

“Delicious food and great atenttion“

“The food is a 10. Fresh, cooked to order and fast service ...“

“Located near the sdsu campus, this location is accessible to students and community members alike. The food was fresh and the katsu had a delectable crutch that left a good taste in my mouth. The cashier was a kind soul that made our L & L experience one that we’ll never forget.“

“Delicious food and great atenttion“

“Food is prepared exceptionally well, wait time is short and the employees are kind and the store it's self is very clean and neat prices are reasonable. Coming here reminds me of Hawaii and there food out there. If you haven't had L&L put it on your to do list.“

“Our boy is raving about u guys!“

“Delicious Japanese yakiniku barbecue at Tsuruhashi on Convoy Street! The meat was so tasty, we had high quality A5 wagyu short rib, Kobe misuji, pork belly, beef tongue, and lettuce wrap and rice. Friendly staff and the meat comes out quickly. It is not all you can eat. We enjoyed the Sapporo beer. Recommend!“

“I recently picked up some food to go, and it was the perfect choice for a night out by the water. Everything was packed thoughtfully, including those cute heart-shaped containers that made for such a fun beach picnic setup.

The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and the ramen had a perfectly cooked egg with a rich broth. We really enjoyed the variety in our order. It was such a great meal under the moon, and I will definitely be back for more soon.“

“The coconut shrimp is amazing! Excellent food and service! The owner Paul does a fabulous job!“

“Absolutely the best BBQ food! Generous portions. Take-out was ready quickly. Amazing onion rings. 😋 The staff were great.“

“awesome food. highly recommend“

“I had the catfish and fries with cornbread it was simply amazing it was so good nice and hot fresh I'll definitely be back again and I will recommend this restaurant to all of my family and friends“

“I had a wonderful time here. Quality meats, generous portions, and amazing service from Denzell.
It was my first time here but definitely not my last. If you're thinking about coming here don't hesitate and just come!
We did the KBBQ & Hotpot combo and it was the best way to try all of the flavors.“

“One of the very best pulled pork BBQ sandwich plates I've had in years. Their vinegar coleslaw and scratch potato salad was so delicious we ordered extra portions. The Pig's Gig is located in the Liberty Mall, just a small cubical that's hopping. Just one fellow who is pleasant and rockin' it! Dining in requires a little hunting for seating, but once you pop the 'to-go' box it's so worth the search! Weekday there's plenty of parking, weekends gets a little hectic.“

“This was a great way to wrap up Comic Con. Theyb satv yes right away on Sunday evening. The food was delicious. The bbq sauce is a little spicy, but delicious. The chilli fries were delicious.

I think they may have been a little overwhelmed or short staffed. The service was a little slow. Like our drinks can't out about 3 minutes before our food.

It was really cool to sit next to the piano from Top Gun though. I would recommend this as a stop if you're in San Diego.“

“Bombtastic as usual! Been going for ever! Total San Diego staple!“

“Fantastic service! Great prices. Loved the outdoor eating area and the vibe!!!“

“The foods that we order was all good!!!“

“Awesome food. Service is great also. Prices are moderate.“

“My Son took me there to enjoy a nice, juicy hamburger, fries and appetizers and he told me it was a pretty good burger place; well he was WRONG!!! The hamburgers were delicious so, were the fries and appetizers and the drinks; but what TRULY made it extra special was the very welcoming, friendly atmosphere!!! Eileen our serve was very polite, professional, kind, with great customer service skills and very attentive to every single one of her customers. We truly enjoyed eating at Scotty B’s and I highly recommend this place for everyone including families. There are some hamburgers extra spicy, but I can assure you that your taste buds will definitely enjoy their delicious and well prepared food. Eileen is definitely a keeper, but aim sure the rest of the staff will also go above and beyond to make your visit as pleasant as possible.
THANK YOU Scotty B’s and Aileen for the delightful and one of a kind experience.
