“the korean food here was amazing all three items were delicious! one of the best boneless korean fried chicken ive had! the chicken was so juicy and flavorful and amazing with the rose sauce. breading is a little much but besides that chicken was good. not pictured was the kimchi fried rice but that was perfect too! it was busy since it was a late saturday night but we ended up getting seated outside and it was so fun! music and service was amazing and chris and dana were so nice! it was our first time but me and my friends will definitely be back! the photo booth was a great addition!“
“After going to the Garden Amp for a concert, a group of us were looking for a place to grab and drink and a bite to eat. We found this place on Yelp and so we decided to give it a try. This place is in a industrial but the wife and I like dives so we came in. Unfortunately, the owner let us know that the kitchen was closed so I went out to inform our group. We decided to have a drink anyways but when we walked in Paula met us at the door with that huge smile and said that they could offer us a limited. We quickly ordered 5 burgers and fries. BTW, the buns are made there at Henry's, that is a nice and rare move for a small dive bar, right? The beer offerings were pretty decent. I had a Blue Moon and my friends had Fuzzy... something or other. I was laughing and talking so I don't know exactly. My wife did get the Cardiff Cab Sauvignon that was pretty decent. What makes a great dive bar is the crowd and this place had a great group. The table next to us was serenading the room with both Bolero's and some great country hits. Their fun was infectious. Thanks again Paula for helping us wrap up a great night. Hope to see you again, soon.“

“Ordered New York & Shrimp to-go, white rice w/vegetables adding Miso soup. White rice was the best part, don't get me wrong the food was good just not worth $45.14. The Teriyaki sauce tasted like it was made by a white guy trying too hard to cook Japanese food.The vegetables were cooked perfectly! I became a bit spoiled for Japanese food in HB from eating at Matsu (Beach & Talbert) since 1978, but this was okay food, I really can't complain much. I am wondering why at 7:30PM on a Wednesday night the dining room was a ghost town?!?It was the best Japanese food I've had on Beach Blvd. in HB for a long time. Matsu has gone downhill since it changed ownership in the 90's, but I think I found my new favorite Japanese restaurant to eat at in HB.I think I was happy with my food overall, I'll give it a solid 7 out of 10. If the staff were a bit more friendly, I'd give you another point, let's see what happens the next time I visit this restaurant.Good job people. ?Parking: This restaurant is located in the old HB Fire Station across the street from Taco Bell, plenty of parking but would be better if it had a little bit more lighting.“
“Went here on a Saturday night (4/06/24) with a friend and this is a cool, hip and happening place for all ages. LOVE the atmosphere, LOVE the pictures and LOVE the green ? lights. I ordered the Alfredo Pasta with Blackened Chicken PLUS 2 pieces of garlic cheese bread comes with it. O-M-G, soooo delish and a lot of food too. The service was great and the music ?? was very hip. I will be back!!!“
“Our favorite neighborhood hang right now! Riley's never disappoints. I love the Watermelon Margarita. They have a decent beer selection. All the food is excellent! The Poke Wonton Tostadas and Ceviche are delicious and reliable appetizers. The Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad and the Steak Salad are two of my favorites. They serve very, very good pizzas and burgers. But my absolute all time favorite item on the Riley's menu is the Smash Burger. This burger is perfect in every way!!! If you haven't checked Riley's out yet, I recommend you do.“
“The Special Ops steak is better than I've had at large chain restaurants! The prices here are fabulous and the overall experience is generally very good. They have a large variety of drinks available and there is dinning inside and on the patio. If your looking for a banquet hall, they have them here too! The only downside is the operating hours.“
“I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The steak and eggs I ordered were absolutely amazing. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender, and flavorful, while the eggs were fluffy and cooked just the way I like them.But it wasn't just the food that blew me away. The service was exceptional. The Bartender Shawna was not only fast and efficient, but also incredibly friendly and attentive. She made sure that every need was met and went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable.From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and well-cared for. The atmosphere was inviting and Shawna made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire meal. Even when it was really busy she managed to provide top-notch service without compromising on quality.Overall, this restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of delicious food and outstanding service truly made it a dining experience to remember. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic meal and exceptional service. You won't be disappointed“

“Meet my friend for her birthday lunch and we had the place to ourselves....Our service for spectacular...Definitely get the "Diva" Martini...We will be meeting there again for sure...Can't say enough great things about this place....Parking: Great, lots of it & very close....“
“You will be very surprised that this place has crab legs at the same price and quality of Captain Jacks which is up the street and not easy to get a table at. My order was take out due to some unique circumstances of the evening but I'm so glad I found this secret because it was surprisingly delicious and affordable. You want great crab legs then King Neptune's has you covered!“
“A neighborhood favorite! Amazing people work here I always feel at home #vibesonpoint. I come for the quality food and great service. Today I asked for the sweet potato sub instead of French fries and they had SWEET PATATO WAFFEL CUT FRIES #inlove. They need to keep those on the menu! Camilla is my favorite and provides the best customer service. Dogz is the place to be.“
“Not sure what I expected. It's a divey sports bar with cute young servers that seem to genuinely enjoy their job and a kitchen with a bar food menu. If you turned the lights down and had girls dancing on the bar, it would easily pass as a strip club.The menu is beer and seltzers. The drinks are inexpensive and the servers are well practiced and wearing revealing bikinis. The servers are friendly and work the patrons with an ease that comes with practice. You are likely to recognize some of the staff from other local establishments that specialize in scantily clad service.The location is in the middle of an office and industrial park. Most of the parking spaces say they will tow if you park and go into Swig.Tip well. Be polite.“
“This is the best bar in OC hands down! Lauren an JP are amazing bartenders, and the food is made from scratch!! Been here with Gloria, Natalie, and Dominique too! Service is always astounding! Do the Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese Sanswich!!! Amazing service every time… Seriously come here!!! Great time!!!!“
“Absolutely amazing food, you can’t find this quality at two to three times these prices. I had the Angel hair pasta special with cream sauce, chicken and seafood. The portion was huge, the pasta was perfect, loaded with seafood, excellent cheese, garlic bread and a couple of whiskeys, run here, don’t walk.“
“A nice place to grab an adult beverage and watch a game or two. Suna and Dana are awesome!! We had a great time here people watching and having some drinks. The food is decent and the drinks are strong. They have many tv's to watch your favorite team or NASCAR. Wish they had live bands here, looks like they have a stage for it.“
“This place a hole in a wall guys, lemme put you on seriously from the ambiance to the drinks. The most special is the owner, Goto-san, is super cute and he appeased to my wants and needs. Very friendly spot and fancy club-like vibe WITH karaoke. I must recommend to stop by for a chil drink/ night cap!!“
“I rated this based on typical bar food. It’s better than most. Nachos are really good, hamburger also good. Fish and chips too. It’s not usually crowded. They have a pool table and darts. Tons of TVs but a nice assortment of sports. Last time we were there they had basketball but also golf and figure skating. And best of all, it’s not expensive compared to most places in the area.Vegetarian options: Not a ton of options but there’s nachos, fish and chips (if you eat fish) and probably a few others.“
“Yo wings here are absolutely fire. BLT absolutely fire. Hidden gem in Fullerton the best drinks you can ask for 3 max for me they have a strong pour here Hurrican drew is a beast and Presta has always been the nicest guy. All staff is respectable as Long as you are. Smoking area outside is available. Don't be scared of the locals. B.A os a great spot to bar it up.“
“We have been to Gaslamp about five times now to see our favorite Rage Against the Machine tribute band, Renegades of Rage. They never disappoint. This time there were two other tribute bands opening for them. Tribute band for Nirvana, Nirvanish was better than I remember from seeing them once before. The lead singer must have been a trance medium. Because all I seen and heard was Kurt Cobain. They also sang a Filter song, Hey Man, Nice Shot, that is in my favorites playlist. The owner of Gaslamp came out on stage to preform in a tribute band for Smashing Pumpkins called The Great Pumpkin! What an extremely pleasant surprise! We've watched them before and I don't remember being this impressed. We sounded so much like Billy Corrigan! Their drummer flew in from I'm not sure where but I'm sure glad that he did. Awesome drummer! Renegades! We love you guys! Johnny, Diego, Jeff and Mike...I'll never get tired of hearing you guys and watching your shows. If I can't get RATM, I'll take Renegades any day, any time, always! We were there with our son and daughter in law celebrating my hubby's 51st bday. The band made him feel special by giving a shout out for his bday! If you haven't seen Renegades before, I can't stress enough that you should find their next show and watch out for the mosh pit! We did not eat here, but Renegades lead singer Johnny did recommend them. Hubby wanted Tamales from Angie's in Norwalk instead. The drinks are comparably priced. Good wait staff. Bathrooms were clean and we'll stocked when we got there. The dance floor was not sticky, just a pet peeve for me.“
“Where do I begin. The bartenders, such kind people. The owners, I had the pleasure of meeting them and they were such a pleasure. The atmosphere is great, the artwork on the walls is nice, well lit outside area with TVs and space heaters so you can have a smoke with your drink, and the spacing of the tables from the pool tables. Was perfect And there's pool tables! Not one or two, enough for there to be competitive and friendly games going on at the same time. They're kept in good condition, proper size. And the patrons are always keeping the juke Jams flowing... 5 stars, 11/10 would recommend.“
“We stopped by for a late breakfast and to watch some Sunday football. There was 4 of us. We had breakfast and lunch. The chila quila's were great, and the nachos was enough to share with 4. Beer was cold. They have plenty of tvs and a pool table. Is small but a great place to stop by. Will definitely be going back.“
“What a fun place to stop in for a bite to eat and have a cocktail. We had the best server , she was so busy but still managed to get our drinks out fast . We had barbecue chicken pizza , potato skins and Tom Collins to drink. Everything was delicious especially the cocktails. This is definitely family friendly, I loved all the screen tv's .“
“The overall food is a bit disappointing.This is an area that needs to be improved considering the price, but if you pay a little more attention, I think it will become a good snack ingredient.The service overall is good, but it is a bit disappointing and the bathroom needs maintenance.The price of soju is 12.99, which is high, and the snacks are also not cost-effective.“
“Great customer service every time I'm in town to visit my niece. Food is excellent for a local bar. Last visit they had live music that just enhanced the entire experience. Capri is definitely my favorite local bar when I visit family in SoCal.“
“The food is absolutely delicious and so fresh. The service is top tier no matter how busy the restaurant becomes, and the drinks will have me coming back over and over again. I especially love the new decor and the line dancing lessons. It's so much fun!Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome to enjoy table games with NO electronics! Connect Four, Rock 'em sock 'em robots and others. And don't be shy to get them to the dance floor so they can experience and learn line dancing. It's such a cute sight!“
“Came for an event and the amount of food and the quality was okay nothing special. Ordered the fish fillet basically something taken from the frozen section triangle fish dipped in batter Frozen and they need to fry it there on site same with the french fries nothing “
“This place is very smoky which is too bad very nice restaurant clean and the staff is nice I didn't eat the food who can eat wirh all that smokeBut I guess that's how these places are Just went for a birthday celebration and it was good“
“Went there with my wife and friends. Food was amazing! The wings and “Irish” tater tots were the bomb!! Also, had a bite of some French toast and a chicken ceasar wrap. All very good! Cocktails were great! Pauly was our waiter and he was fun and nice. This place made a great night out for us! We’ll be back.“
“Nice little bar with an outstanding whiskey selection! The food was absolutely fabulous as well. When we arrived, we were waited on almost immediately, and our server checked on us frequently. There was a wandering magician keeping the patrons entertained, and eventually a live 3-piece jazz ensemble arrived and played a fairly long set. Overall, I would highly recommend.“
“This is a really nice bar. It's a little on the small side but it's nice. unfortunately there's hardly anyone here. But I heard there is a new owner so hopefully the new owner gets a crowd in here. A bar should never be dead on a Friday or Saturday. This bar has a lot of potential. And it also has a functioning kitchen. I'm going to do my part and support this bar. If u and your friends are trouble makers, please don't come here. This place don't need those kinds of customers.“
