The staff is attentive and the beer selection is impressive, with delicious offerings like the "bad apple cider." The food is consistently fresh, hot, and tasty, featuring popular items such as fries, wings, tenders, burgers, and brisket. The restaurant is a great spot for happy hour, gathering with friends, watching sports, or before/after a Padres game, as it is within walking distance of Petco Park.

The food consistently receives praise, with favorites like the burger, buffalo chicken fries, and hot dog. The place also welcomes dogs, making it a friendly spot for pet owners. TVs showing sports games add to the lively atmosphere, and the staff are known for being friendly and professional. Parking can be tricky due to the close proximity to Petco Park, but the overall experience makes it worth the visit.
