“Excellent service and a wonderful variety of sauces and salsa to choose from which made the experience even more fun and flavorful. I absolutely loved their chicken enchiladas, they were rich, cheesy and perfectly seasoned. The burrito was packed with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. Everything tasted so authentic and the warm and friendly service made the meal even better. I will definitely be coming back.“

“Our go to mex restaurant…..simply the best!“

“Been going for years..Great, delicious food that tastes so good you can only expect to stuff your face 😋 It's got the flavor of the authentic BBQ w/char, beef pork and chicken meat falling off the bone ..with a perfect sauce that doesn't taste like it's full of sugar or fake ingredients..It instead tastes like years worth of perfected quality. The staff and service is also very caring and helpful, making sure everything is to your exact liking. Super!“

“Great place! Excellent service! Delicious food!“

“I’m a mediocre pool player at best. However, my friends were excellent pool players wanted to meet up at pocket billiards and brew. The staff was really friendly and welcoming as were the patrons. The prices for pool and drinks were quite reasonable and we had an excellent time.! thank you“

“Nice atmosphere with outstanding service, especially from Cameron.“

“Great atmosphere and fun for everyone, especially those who don't golf. Our party of 7 had a blast with all of the different games available and it got even more fun after a few delicious cocktails ;) Would recommend to anyone looking for something fun that's casual and has great food and drinks.“

“Can't rate the food. By the time we arrived the kitchen was closed. We had eaten beforehand. But the brewskis were great! First time here. Didn't play in the arcade. We hung out in the patio. Nice atmosphere. Honestly, when we arrived, I thought i had made a wrong turn! When you arrive, don't worry, the strip club totally threw us off too . Followed by the dry cleaning right next to it lol This place looked sketchy at first , not going to lie. It was a great night tho. There's a few pool tables inside. Games on both ends of the bar . If you're looking for a Dave n Busters vibe, this isn't it. This place is more lowkey. The introvert in me was pleased. Not overwhelming. Give this place a shot!“

“Great food great customer service and great 🍺“

“SPARKLING CLEAN. Food and beverage excellent. Half price on all spirits, wine, champagne, beer and APPETIZERS ALL DAY. There is a bar PLUS many tables, wide screens. Very nicely appointed.“

“I found Angry Petes Pizza on istanstgram and had to try it out. The Pizza was good but the sauce was a little sweet for my taste. The onion rings was out of this world. looking to return soon. the Mackinaw island fudge is a plus.“

“Dog friendly outdoor great service good beer nice atmosphere“

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

“I went to the Full Circle Saloon and they played this degrading song that said “A lap dance is better when the stripper is crying. Well I find it quite a thrill when she grinds me against her will.” More lyrics from this song say ” I told Bambi I wanted to skin her….. and wear her face like a mask. I have to admit it was even more of a turn-on when I found out she was doin’ me to buy baby formula.” This is a a song appropriate for serial killers and John’s who rape sex workers who are forced by their situation to work against their will. The bartender was angry and irritated with me when I asked to him to please turn it off. Two other female workers were unconcerned. The Female owner Michelle Bailey said she will not be a song N*** and did not offer to do anything about it. Oh She said there is a guy there that likes to play this song when he plays pool. If people there accept this happening I will vote by not going there.“

“Valentin was our waiter and he is excellent, the best!“

“Every time I go to Escondido Surfing I have a great experience and the manager is very personable!!!“

“A highly recommended spot for watching sports, great food and relaxing atmosphere. The service is the best, friendly and knowledgeable of the food and beverages.
The pizza was incredible. Burgers- delicious and well prepared.
The comfortable sitting is like being in your living room. Great music on all the time.
VERY highly recommended for an adult evening of watching sports (60 TV's) and enjoying an adult beverages and having some really good food. The parking is a bit tight but worth it.“

“Yesterday's early lunch at the Public House was idyllic. This spot never disappoints, in fact, with each visit I am more enchanted. The food was great. Drinks were generous, tasty and chilled and the server was phenomenal. She was friendly, sweet and efficient. She kept a close eye on our drinks and check in with us a number of times to see that we had all that we needed. A delightful lunch.“

“Carlton Oaks is a gorgeous venue with a wonderful staff. Gwen is a cheerful and fun server and my new friend💃…PLUS the food is delicious!“

“5 out of 5 for stars.... best hidden gem in San Diego“

“Very friendly environment, bartenders are very nice and inviting, fun karaoke/pool/darts. Great time every time i go!“

“This place was a surprise. I went to watch the UFC fight since it was the closest place to my house showing the fight. This place may become one of my new weekend night without the kids hangout spots. Approximately 7 pool tables, good beers on tap, and a patio in the back to smoke and vape. Atmosphere was good, easy to make a few acquaintances while watching the fight and no issues. Check it out if you're in the area“

“Kelly’s! Local go to. I love being a regular here...“

“Its a locals dive bar.. what you'd expect cheap drinks and plenty of good people to talk with. This is what I look for in bars. If you want bougie overpriced drinks and spotless atmosphere go somewhere else and save this gem for locals. Good place to enjoy a few after work and watch sports and people play pool. Bartender was quick and handled a packed place by himself. Will definitely come back.“

“Great local fun hangout, bartenders are nice, food truck was great, all you need for a good local dive bar !!“

“I've been going to this particular location for more than 20 years. It's still good, but about a third as good as it once was. Prices up, quality down, just like everything else - I'd still choose Islands over any competing restaurant.“

“The food was good and the service was to. The drink was a little watered down.“

“They continue to keep the quality and taste of their food top notch. Appreciated!“

“I recently paid my first visit to this Applebee’s since moving to San Diego, choosing it as the spot to celebrate my oldest child’s 18th birthday. I’ll admit, I’ve long held the impression that Applebee’s had lost some of its original charm — that balance of good food and fair prices that made it a neighborhood favorite years ago. But this location proved me wrong in the best way.

From the appetizers to the main courses, every dish was satisfying and well-prepared — flavorful, hot, and comforting in that familiar Applebee’s way. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the service. Our server, Heidi, brought genuine warmth and humor to the table, creating a relaxed, upbeat atmosphere that made the evening feel special. She was attentive without hovering, friendly without forced cheer, and her sense of humor added the perfect personal touch.

In a time when chain restaurants can feel impersonal, Heidi reminded us that great service can make all the difference. A heartfelt thanks to her for turning a simple family dinner into a memorable celebration.“

“🙏🍻🙌👍👌🤗✌️yes yes yes yee ha“

“My second visit to Apple Bees and satisfied again.
We sat at the bar and was served by the greatest bartender on earth! He was also there on my first visit months ago, so I'm not telling lies here. Lol
I ordered the Grilled cheese Cheeseburger with tatter tots and tomato soup. Man!! The grilled cheese Cheeseburger was delish. It was juicy. The meat was cooked perfectly. The tomato soup was delicious as well. It felt like a warm hug. I have not had tater tots in a very long time and they did not disappoint.
My friend ordered the steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. He enjoyed it.
The atmosphere was great. Good vibes all around!!
I do recommend going and sit at the bar. You can't go wrong. It was also good to know that there are regulars that come through and the bartender knows their names. Lol“

“Great place for gathering with friends.“
