If good food, cold Banquetes, and a digital jukebox tickle your fancy this is the place for you.

A great San Diego restaurant is a shell of its former self. Service was great. Food was bland. Tri Tip sandwich.....bland and tri tip over cooked. Pork ribs super tender but smothered in heavy BBQ sauce. Beans bland, even salad was wilty. French Fries were delicious, tho.! And no scoop of ice cream or piece of cake/ pie for birthday celebration (our reason for going in the first place) If we are ever in the area again, we will return but not going out of our way to go there. Sorry Fat Ivors.

What I don't understand is the strange pricing for a margarita

Used to come here about 20 years ago. Was shocked to see they survived the scamdemic. Ribs are great. Food is great. And service is great. Definitely did not disappoint.

Waitress and service was great, but the food disappointed. Tri tip sandwich and beef ribs were bland, like there was no bbq sauce or seasoning on them. Same with beans- bland, no flavor. Coleslaw was super soft and tasted like it was made a week ago. French fries was great. Atmosphere was great, friendly place.

We had been told a few times to try this place by some people we know… that being said be weary and listen to the local guide reviews of 1 star. When you walk up it takes a moment to realize where you’re going/entering. Upon walking through the door you have what I’d assume regulars seated at the bar/bar top tables staring at you while a handful of waitresses and a hostess look at you as if you interrupted their conversation. We were at least greeted and seated promptly. Our waitress was very polite and efficient with our order. The appetizers were scolding hot to point where it was difficult to eat them. Beans had no flavor, the coleslaw had no crunch which tells me it wasn’t freshly made, and the ribs had an interesting flavor. You do get used to it after a while I guess but it was off putting at first. The New York was bland but cooked well. All in all the food is below average, our waitress was good, and the atmosphere is only welcoming if you’re a regular.

First and last time going there today with my wife and son. We walked in and I made eye contact with the bartender as there was a sign that said “wait to be seated”. After standing there for 10 minutes and no one even greeted us we sat down at a table, another few minutes went by with still no one coming to the table or even acknowledging we were there at all. After several minutes of dirty looks from the other patrons we got up and left
