Chicken was incredible!! Waffles...not so much. I recommend ordering a chicken dish that doesn't come with the waffles.

I flew in a national group for a training session to San Diego nearby back in February. We used their newly renovated lounge space in the back for a casual group dinner and drinks. Everyone from the event planner booking us to the on-site manager to our server for the evening were incredible. Menu we put together was perfect, they had just the right amount of food (helped folks take home extras too), great drink prices, and exceptional service. The environment and atmosphere were perfect for a relaxing "end of day" dinner and drinks. Highly recommend folks to work with them for their large groups.

I love this place! Both a neighborhood drinkery and food place and great on both counts. It can get very busy but the staff are good humored and clearly work to keep up. Get the pork sliders and a spark plug😉

Very loud and noisey atmosphere. Sliders were served cold, refrigerator cold, and had to be taken off the menu.

We were there for dinner and drinks about 6:30PM on Saturday 01-11-2025. Table was in the SW corner towards the window.

Our server knew there was a problem but served them anyway. Buns were ice cold and the meat was burned. I get there can be issues but would have appreciated a heads up or explanation before taking a bite. :(

Has alcoholic drinks to go with epic food. The taco fries and house Mac and cheese was amazing. One of the better loaded fries I have had. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Service can be a tad slow.
