“Loved drinking beer out of a boot! Brats and fries were awesome.“

“We love this place has been our meet up place and they have all the comfort food and drinks. They have happy hours sadly not on Fri or Saturday but. We love the food, our fav would have to be the army stew, the snacks and the half and half noodles dish. Their fruit tea is so good, like you would get from a good boba shop.“

“I haven’t visited Mutt Lynch’s since the mid 90’s. I spent many days / nights shooting pool , listening to the Jukebox and drinking cold beers. It was so great to visit this month and meet great people and relive great memories. Thanks to Ross & Sara (h)and Victor for your kindness and helping me to feel at home. I would recommend to anyone who wants to make memories and have a Great Time. I’ll be Back.“

“Awesome hang ok. Great people n great food“

“A good spot for a casual meet up for drinks and to play pool. Can spend hours here as other locals are friendly, bar staff all pleasant and good music on the jukebox. Drinks are reasonably priced and we definitely spend more on pool than drinking“

“We went here yesterday with our team, and everything was fantastic! The restaurant has its own brewery with big tanks where they brew their beers, and the IPAs were excellent.

Our server, Gil, was super nice and helpful. He arranged a long table for our whole group so we could sit comfortably and hang out. He also gave us great recommendations , I tried the Ginger Salmon with rice and quinoa, and it was very tasty, healthy, and perfectly cooked. For appetizers, I ordered the Ahi Tuna with tortillas, which I really enjoyed since I’m trying to eat healthy. We also tried a few other appetizers that everyone liked.

My co-workers had a mix of burgers and sandwiches, and everyone said their food was delicious. They don’t serve vodka (only beer and wine), but they were kind enough to bring me hot water with lemon since I asked for tea.

After dinner, we sat outside on the patio by the fireplace, enjoying the sunset and the beautiful sky , such a relaxing way to end the evening. Parking was easy too, with spots in front of the restaurant and plenty more in the nearby shopping center.

Overall, a great experience with amazing food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend it! 🍽🍻“

“**Calico Saloon IPA Review**

Last night, I had the pleasure of enjoying an IPA at Calico Saloon while being serenaded by the Summer Nights band. The evening was a delightful blend of refreshing drinks and lively music.

**The Venue:**
Calico Saloon provided the perfect rustic backdrop, with its old-timey charm and welcoming atmosphere. The warm summer night and the live music created an ambiance that was both relaxing and exhilarating.

**The Beer:**
The IPA I ordered was a highlight of the evening. From the first sip, it was clear that this brew was crafted with care. It had a rich, golden hue and a robust aroma of citrus and pine. The flavor profile was well-balanced, featuring a harmonious blend of hoppy bitterness and subtle malt sweetness. The crisp finish left me eager for the next sip, making it a perfect choice for a warm summer night.

**The Experience:**
Sipping on this IPA while enjoying the energetic performance of the Summer Nights band was an experience to remember. The band's vibrant tunes complemented the beer perfectly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. It was a night filled with great music, excellent company, and a fantastic IPA that I'll definitely be returning for.

If you find yourself at Calico Saloon, don't miss out on trying their IPA. It's a refreshing and flavorful beer that pairs wonderfully with the lively atmosphere and great music. Cheers to many more summer nights like this!

“Fabulous food and cool interior“

“This place is our favorite for their clam & seafood chowders...depending on the availability of the seafood. Both are exceptional and well worth the trip, just for that...Friday and Saturdays only. Not always available. I never order from the menu and always enjoy ordering from the specials board. The chefs are the stars here and have us coming back weekly! Not to mention the bar is tagged with the line...heaviest pour on the shore!“

“Great place to eat n drink. and be social...“

“A hidden gem found by accident as I stayed in the Doubletree by Hilton nearby. Excellent beef dish with sprouts and tried for the first time silkworm pulpo soup which was better than I expected once I got over the idea and look of it. Some drunk noisy obnoxious patrons to be expected but otherwise had a great meal in a small mom and pop Korean resto. Will definitely come back and try other dishes. The waitress was also very nice and although she could not speak very well English she was very polite, nice and attentive.“

“Always good food . Typically good service. Atmosphere is VERY dependent on the booth where one is seated. Unfortunately, if you're near the bus station, it is very loud as the workers divide up plates, silverware, glasses et cetera. We go here for brunch.Most sundays after church. moving forward, we will always ask for the lounge.... far from the bus station in the center of the Cafe dining room. It would be much better if the separating of dishes were done in the kitchen, away from diners ears and out of the atmospheric influences. I still strongly recommend this restaurant.Just choose your seat wisely.“

“Awesome service great time with family“

“A wonderful little bar, with some great owners and bartenders. Came in here for a meetup event, and ended up having a great time thanks to the staff. They have an outdoor seating area as well as the inside with tables and booths. The bartenders were very fun and took care of me towards the end when I needed to get some sobering up, so I can easily say I'll be coming back here to support these guys.

There was some love music when I arrived too, so that's also a plus if you want some entertainment with your drinking. I didn't have any food while I was here, but I'll be sure to grab some next time I'm here and update my review. Definitely check this spot out if you haven't. Cheers!“

“Nice little brewery with a good variety of beers. Quiet atmosphere, perfect to enjoy the football, baseball games on their TVs over a point or two.“

“Great craft brewery 10 minutes from John Wayne Airport. Attached to a place called the anti-mall ( never knew) with shops, restaurants, stuff..great pre-flight choice for a flight 😂😅😉“

“We had a great pizza. Nice thin crust, lots of cheese. It was the whole nine yards. Reminded me of how the old Barro’s pizza’s of the ‘70’s were. Courteous people on the phone and they were exact on the time it was ready. All great“

“Great time! Bartender Trish and Security Chemo make it a great time. I’d be back just for them 😜“

“Good food & a great changing beer menu!“

“I won't get tired of thanking Financial Analyst-Benjah Raphael for what he did for me, you take people's problem as your problem, thank you for making much money for me. If others would learn from you then this world would be a better place. Please if you want a genuine account manager who can genuinely trade for you and make lots of money for you then contact Financial Analyst-Benjah Raphael“

“I recently stayed at The Huntington Beach House and absolutely loved it. The location is ideal—just a short walk to the beach, the pier, and nearby shops and dining. Tracks of well-kept outdoor space and charming architecture give it a relaxed, surf‑city vibe. The rooms felt spacious, clean, and comfortable, with pleasant decor and thoughtful touches throughout. The friendly staff made check-in easy and were attentive to any questions or requests. Dogs are even welcome at this property!“

“Coconut shrimp - so good!“

“As part of our group's brewery tour, we visited this place and enjoyed their excellent selection of beers and tasty appetizers. We had a lot of fun, and our bartender was amazing. The variety of flavors was impressive. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended!“

“This is a good place to bring someone who is new to the area. I feel that if you live near this restaurant, as I do, that there are other places that are better for tacos, honestly. That being said, their presentation and food is very good,“

“I wasn't impressed. The food was just so so and kinda bland. So disappointed in the cornbread. I live in the south so maybe its a southern thing to have amazing cornbread with bbq. This is all subject to my own opinion of course. Everyone has different taste buds and someone else could have totally enjoyed it. Ithis placr just wasn't for me..

The best thing was the service and the cocktails.“

“Para mí es unos de los restaurantes más mejores y a tienden bien .“

“We came in an hour or so after they opened on a Friday and there was only one other table occupied.

The food was amazing!!! We ordered the spicy cajun edemame, crispy pork, and tom yum seafood fried rice. All three dishes were wonderfully prepared! Great job to the chefs!

The only thing lacking was the service, but the staff was young, but I would venture to guess that they will learn and the service will get better in time.

We will definitely be returning soon and recommend giving them a try!“

“Dirty martini + Beer chaser + Yeager Bomb + Beer chaser, and that’s all I need to rate it a 5 star !!!“

“Bartender (Madlynn?) was very pretty and welcoming. Vibe was what I expect at a sportsbar and plenty of parking. When the Angels game started, I asked and they immediately threw the game on. No Complaints. If it was closer to home, I would be here all the time.“

“Awesome pub on campus. Great bar food such as burgers, “stoner” fries with carne asada, nachos etc.. great kombucha beer options on tap as well as ciders.. also huge beer selection as well.
Great place to get together with friends or have some food and study. Bartenders are really nice.“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“Delicious beer and amazing staff!“

“This bar is rocking! Great music, bar maids, and cool crowd!“
