“TRIVIA AND BEER! Great bar food vibes at this lively and delicious beer garden and brewery. Great beers and giant pretzels and stay for the trivia nights! The crowd is mostly made up of festival goers and out of towner’s since this place is right off of the 10 freeway.“

“Pretty cool spot and quite large. For some reason by the photos I thought would be a little more rustic but it is fairly new and in a large new development. They have plenty of beers and good food. That woman behind the bar was a little prickly at first but got a little better with time. Tried a couple of their beers and was happy with that and would definitely go back next time we're in town.“

“This is a really great brewery with a nice vibe. The bartender was friendly and they had live music. The beers: Desert Citrus Wheat Ale w/tangerines (great) Watermelon Blonde (excellent) Oat-A-Lay Way oatmeal stout on nitro (great) Peachy Queen peach berlinerweisse (great*)“

“Been looking for at least decent BBQ in CV, so had to try Bubbas. Overall it's good and I would go back, but probably to try the burger.We got the sampler platter for 2, which gave us brisket, baby back ribs, pulled pork, sausage and a quarter chicken so we could try most of everything. So first off, don't expect a real smoked BBQ experience here. Didn't detect a smoker used at all in any of the meats, just more or less roasted. The hits I'd say were the brisket and the sausage. Brisket was flavorful without too much fat, the sausage was tasty too. But the chicken, ribs and pulled pork were overcooked. All of it falling off the bone which isn't really a bad thing, but cooked to the point of on the mushy side is. This is also indicative of frozen meat. There was virtually no difference between the pulled pork and the rib meat.Over on the plus side, I did like their sauces. Their basic BBQ sauce was on the sweet side, the spicy bourbon had a come through bourbon flavor, and the sweet chili sauce and mango habanero were also tasty. The two sides we chose were also good. The jalapeno pinto beans were nice and spicy, the mac n cheese was also good, but not the best. Corn bread was dense and not much corn flavor.Service was perfect, attentive but not overbearing.Prices were about average for a BBQ spot. Atmosphere was nice, although trying to convey a roadhouse feeling in a strip mall.Full bar with a good selection of house cocktails and beer.I would go back to try their burger, I'm curious about it. And I'd give the pork another try (small order), to see if they just had an off day.“

“LQB is my "Cheers" go to place for meeting family and friends and especially when I need a little Me Time. Always great service and Chef's Specials never disappoint. Now there's breakfast on the patio, too. Special shout out to Blanca for good service and IT help with rewards app.“

“This is a step up from a fast food restaurant. We enjoyed surprisingly good food. The pizza, stromboli, wedge salad, brussel sprouts and meatballs were very good. They had a good selection of micro brews. We caught the last 30 min. of happy hour. Most apps were about $8 and they were full size apps. Drink prices were reduced. This is a very casual, locals spot. Service was a little understaffed but we did not suffer for it. Our server was pleasant and worked hard.“
