“We are regular customers of South Beach. We had dinner last night (Jan 21st) around 6 pm. Service and table were fine. I chose the Voodoo shrimp/sausage dish off the special menu. It was sub standard and had little shrimp or sausage. Watery and really not remarkable. First time we ever had a bad meal. Usually anything you pick is magnificent. Spent 240.00 for a below average meal. Just thought you should know. Thank you.“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency.

Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year.

“The OFF SHORE TAVERN AND GRILL located on Morena Blvd in Bayshore San Diego is very good place. All of the staff are exceptional. MGRs have welcomed me & all others since day one and continue to provide fantastic service. Doug & Dan just could not try harder to make this establishment succeed any better. Them and all the servers could receive a higher rating as personable and attentive people. They ALL make Everybody welcome . Major Kudos to Doug, Dan, Ramy and ALL of the crew“

“Come for the beer, booze, burger, and Bonnie the Bartender! Bonnie is the best! (Say that 5 times fast)

Me: got any specials?
Bonnie: everything is special here. We are the cheapest bar in town. What’s your favorite flavor?
Me: whiskey
Bonnie: (laughs) I got you. Just trust me.

And she was right! Even my partner got one in the next round. she took great care of me and the crew.“

“excellent food and servers were great and accommodating to guest needs . my family lives in San Diego and fly in for weekend . thank you“

“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!“

“We came here for karaoke night on a Friday. It was crowded but we were able to get our drinks fairly quick as there are two bar areas. We came in as a group and we were able to find spot for all of us to hang out. I loved the vibes as the guests were singing along. I got tater tots and fried pickles and they were tasty and reasonably priced. I would come back for karaoke night again.“

“This was the perfect little place near the fishing docks and on the harbor. We were at a conference at the Manchester Hyatt, and it was definitely worth the walk to come eat here. I got the steak nachos, and they were perfect! The steak was fantastic, and the toppings were great! My friend had the pastrami burger and loved it as well.“

“The bartender was super friendly and the food was yummy. Took us awhile to find parking, as there's only street parking in the neighborhood available. It wasn't too loud, and my group had a great time. Just wished there were more beer options.“

“Neighborhood dive bar that's always busy when we've gone there. Seat yourself and best to order at the bar. You can wait for a wait staff to come to your table but they are usually very busy and you might end up waiting for awhile.

It can be hard to find a table available at game time, especially if you have more than 4 people.

The price for drinks and food are still reasonable here so I think that's why it's a popular spot. Plus food aren't bad bar food either. I do like their wings and fries.“

“Our group was vegetarians and vegans and everyone was very happy. I've had banh mi without the mayo before, but having a vegan aioli made it so much better. The service was very friendly and efficient. The seating is outside in a lovely courtyard, but depending on the time of day could be shady/ chilly, or sunny. You stand in a line to enter and order at a counter.“

“We live in Phoenix AZ, but always visit when in mission beach“

“Good food. Great service !“

“ROLL TIDE! Amazing place to visit in San Diego. Great food, Great drinks. Cheapest beers in town. Ask for the lawn mower beer menu. Perfect place for local and out of town Alabama Crimson Tide fans. Arcade is Great. Leg lamp, grandma's living room, Gump's jersey, and you can wish to be BIG with the Zoltar machine. ENJOY.“

“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.“

“If you are looking for a drink/snack right on the beach in PB then this is the place for you. First off, they have excellent breakfast, so go there for that if you are hungry and it's before noon. Secondly, if it is after noon, the menu options are good. The parking is limited, but there is an underground public-pay lot right below this place. The only downside is that all the drinks are served in plastic disposable cups so it's not the best for the environment, but they have recycle bins for the cups/bottles at least. I can't get over how great the view from the patio at this place is and so if you're looking for a casual place to grab a drink and sit outside and enjoy the beach, definitely come here!“

“Great staff, great food.... one if San Diegos hidden gems!!“

“We only recently learned about Sal's Cantina and we were eager to try the food. The space is great (which is shared with Rosemary & Thyme in the morning), especially the very comfortable outdoor garden patio. Sal was very friendly and provided great, attentive service. And the food was delicious! I ordered a birria taco, a pollo asado taco, with beans and rice. My friend had a birria enchilada (not on the menu, but Sal fixed it up for us). All of the food was fresh and great quality. We also were greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, which was a great starter with our passionfruit margaritas. One high note, all of the food was lightly salted, which is something I very much appreciated. It's easy to add salt if you want more, but too many restaurants over-salt, and you can't do anything to lessen that after the fact. We will definitely be back!

Parking: Sal's doesn't have any dedicated parking. You can choose from metered parking along University Ave, or look for free street parking along the side streets. Pretty much the same for many Hillcrest restaurants.“

“Fun with my family from Colorado and local.“

“the food is always excellent very well priced inconsistent Even the salad just smells fresh even with no dressing on it. Lots of variety. Even their iced tea is freshly brewed there. Full bar which I don't drink much but looks like it's got everything anybody ever want. Fun to watch the airplanes with Jets take off your right on the runway this place has been here for years and years and years not sure how long but it's kind of a San Diego landmark. The hostess wasters has been there for a long time, always willing to assist you in your little quirky special request. I should remember her name but I'm so bad at that. You cannot go on eating here bon appetit. PSI voice type and I do not at it“

“Just after Christmas, we were in town for the new year and the Seahawks had a football game against the 49ers so we went to our place bar and Grill and had a fantastic time. The people were great. The food was great. The owners were great. I highly highly recommend we have been to numerous Seahawks bars Across the United States and by far this one was the best.“

“We spent the day at the zoo and wanted a place to sit, relax and enjoy a beer. They have a great selection to choose from. They also provided great service. We got to sit by a window, watch the sky darken with night, and watch some guy on the beach try to light off some fireworks (little success).

Overall it was a great place to unwind after a long day at the zoo.“

“Great Ribeye!! Great service!!“

“Was here for pride weekend, truly thought I saw god in the bartenders hands as they were pouring my drinks 10/10“

“I had the beet salad which contained things I never would have eaten in the past! But decided to go out of my comfort zone and give it a try So glad I did; it was delicious!!“

“Daisy Fernandez mom dog maxi Waxi 🐶🐾🦮🤎👧🏻“

“Met up here with some friends before going to a SDFC game at Snapdragon and then met back here after. It was busy but service was solid both before and after the game. Chicken tenders were a solid choice and good value, too. Live music was starting when we left. There's a smoking patio, too! Quality establishment.“

“The Fish and Chips, Fish Tacos“

“I found the food to be delicious with a variety of choices from the buffet of which there are two to choose from. The Chef will often make a different scrambled egg besides the traditional one so there is a second choice. The service is outstanding with friendly staff. I enjoyed this breakfast very much.“

“Hosted our daughters graduation event there. Very helpful, beautiful outdoor dining and food was very good. Highly recommended for a group birthday, graduation, meetings, etc. the food is California casual, but the setting is lovely and the staff is wonderful. Also a lovely place to grab a quick lunch or brunch with family or friends.“
