We love this place. All of the bartenders and the bar manager are wonderful and super nice to talk to. They love seeing our dog, Gibson. There’s great beer/tacos, friendly service, and a chill atmosphere to grab a brewski/food. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

We showed up today at 1259 and walked through the open gate ! A lady ( the manager , I believe) said oh you came through this gate it’s the wrong gate ! We said it was open, well it’s the wrong one I’m opening the other one now . We said ok want us to go back out ! No! Then she said make sure those balloons don’t fly away and they are tied down ! Also you are having a birthday party ? Yes we are ! Well how many people . We said not many people , they will be in and out over the next 4 or so hours ! She said well how many people , we said we don’t know , maybe 20! Ok well there’s no food till 2 and it’s only 1. Ok we said ! There were 3 of us and we were all a bit taken back at why she was so mean and rude. She was extremely rude and quite honestly set a pretty bad tone for what was going to be a fun day , and bringing a decent amount of money to this business! We felt very uncomfortable and worried about the balloons and also had a plastic tablecloth and a cake we wanted to set up so people would know where we were sitting .What a shame she had to be so nasty , had not most people been on their way we would have left. The food was good , and the other workers were polite and kind . Not a good example as the manager

A backyard vibe. 100% outdoor seating with benches, umbrella's, propane fire pits and towers, and a catering truck. It's perfect for mellow weather. Come summer you will need way more shade. Mesh sails or pergolas would be great. Staff is helpful and friendly. Close to the freeway.i did not eat so can't comment on the food. Beers on tap are cold and there's a good variety. Would recommend some NA, kombucha, hop water options. Will be back. Would recommend.

Came with my girlfriend on a Thursday night and dang! Those Tacos and Nachos were BUSSIN'. Nice open space with a lot of lights and heaters. I loved the vibe! Lucia and her crew were always checking on me and my girlfriend too. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Met 2 other families there for food and beer. Was drizzling when we bought our beers. Other families got there and bought beers. No food but that's OK. Talking and drinking but noticed them closing up. 6:05! Never came and told us they were closing!! Came over to turn off the heaters and lights. Told us to leave!!! Said it was Company Policy....???? I call Bullshit!!! They just decided to go home and we can just get out!! This place Sucks!!! I have been to all of the Karl Strauss locations and have always loved it.... This guy was a jerk!!!

Nice place to hangout with family and friends. Their menu is simple and the food is alright. I’m only giving it 2 stars overall because what is with the porta potties for restrooms? Budget constraints? I’ve gone there on some days and the smell is really bad. If you can get a table to hangout at away from the porta potties you’re lucky but otherwise you’ll be enjoying your beverages and food with a lingering smell of sewer. ?
