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

“My husband stumbled upon this place on the way to his dentist. and he liked the sign. It is now our weekend spot for (literally) tacos & tequila (and a beer for my hubs.) The food is incredible, the drinks stout, and the service is top notch. We always feel so welcome every time we're there! Tacos and Tequila is amazing! (Shout out to Jose, Michael, Laura, Christian, and Marissa!)“

“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!“

“There are plenty of tables to choose from, and the venue is clean, spacious, and very nice inside. They charge by the hour, and the rates are fair for what you get. My sister and I had a great time here and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We would definitely come back again.“

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

“Great place! Excellent service! Delicious food!“

“They don't have any top shelf liquor but I expected that. They do have a good card system for games and the bartenders were very pleasant. As they closed there seemed to be more people chatting out front then were inside. All around it was fun even for the snobby crowd ... 💋“

“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.“

“Great food great customer service and great 🍺“

“Dog friendly outdoor great service good beer nice atmosphere“

“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 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.“

“I'm in town for work for a week. Flight got in late and it was close to the hotel and normal style food compared to the surrounding restaurants. I was pleasantly greeted and was seated right away. I ordered a beer and a club sandwich, beer was nice and cold. The sandwich was big like most clubs are, ended up take half back to the hotel since I was tired from a long day traveling.“

“My family and I were in search of a great burger and shake to honor my Dad on the anniversary of his passing. We considered In-N-Out, but are SO glad we changed our mind!
Everything was delicious!

My son actually didn’t “love” the crispness of the single patty, and wouldn’t eat it. As we walked out, the owner came after us with a delicious hot dog dressed in ketchup just for him ❣ incredible food and service. Can’t wait to go back!“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“Dropped on for happy hour and was glad to see that the bar wasn't busy at all considering college football season was back!

I ordered a Moscow mule and some food. Enough to keep me full and to finish up the game.

Excellent service, clean restaurant and overall a relaxed vibe.

Been coming here for years.

Be back soon!“

This team really enjoys what they do and everybody works together well great food great atmosphere great employees Pat is having an anniversary coming up on Sunday. I would like to recommend him to be employed the month. Awesome. Awesome people here thank you.“

“Great place for gathering with friends.“

“Dine in, Saturday night.

No one at front desk. Sat ourselves, after 15 minutes with no one saying anything, eventually an employee moved us to another section because this area was closed? I was near other customers.

In new area, no one comes over. I’ve now been here for 20 minutes with no server acknowledging me.

Move to the bar. Sarah, the bartender, was super helpful. There clearly aren’t enough employees, as everyone had long wait times.

Eventually ordered food. I ordered MILD wings. 10 wings came out. I suffered through 3 and thought that they must have changed their recipe (I haven’t been in a few years). After 3 wings I couldn’t eat anymore, they were too spicy. I then noticed a sticker on the wings tray and the recipe, that said WILD. I ask Sarah and it turns out B Dubs has wings called WILD and MILD, with drastically different spiciness levels. She promptly removed my wings order from my tab. It turns out WILD is the second hottest wings they sell.

I’m sure this mistake has to happen, franchise wide, numerous times per day. Dear Mr. Buffalo, please consider renaming your WILD wings to ‘insane’, ‘crazy’, ‘extreme’, just anything that doesn’t rhyme with MILD.

Luckily, Sarah (bartender) and the great reverse happy hour made up for the seating and spicy issues. I’ll be back, but I hope they clearly denote “closed” sections in the restaurant in the future.“
