We mainly come here for their $1 Taco Tuesdays, which are excellent and better than a lot of the restaurant tacos which cost a lot more. The staff is always pleasant and helpful, and if you're not a beer drinker soft drink or coffee refills are plentiful. One semi-negative is that I don't think their Thursday special "Big Max" is as good as the Mickey D's variety. Haven't tried their weekend breakfast yet but on the menu it looks good.

$1 Tacos is the reason I give them a 4 star rating. However, the lady behind the bar wearing a white Taco Bell shirt was so rude. I came in alone to enjoy the evening and she made my experience very unwelcoming. The food was so delicious though. I would have ordered more if I didn't feel so uncomfortable.

The definition of a hidden gem. Great food, prepared with the freshest ingredients. The prices are fair and the people are friendly and welcoming. Don't miss out on breakfast. Best omelets and corned beef hash.

One of the best bars in The Bay. Hands down some of the best bar food I've had, period. Staff is fantastic -- Chris, Monica, Molly, Lyndsey, ect. You get to know them and they get to know you. Turkey Dip all day.

Really great neighborhood bar! The owners take pride with the service. Good atmosphere and the food is a notch above what you would expect! Make that a few notches! Definitely try the Taco Tuesday 1.00 tacos. 3 is a full meal, and a cold one washes it down!

A typical American bar.Sometimes very loud, but the service is always very friendly and helpful.If you order something to eat there, you don't have to wait very long, even though everything is freshly prepared.

Late night, Date night with the hubby. It was a Tuesday, 3/5, night and I had already told him about that Adult Happy Meal deal here. He thought it was as cool as I did so we headed out around 8:30 to a moderately busy scene. Loud laughter, pool games, music blaring, I actually was surprised. I brought my notebook and pen to write down our thoughts on a few things we wanted to discuss but between the people watching and the speaker ( that we discovered sat above our head) we just ordered a cocktail and chilled. Dinner: Wedge salad Fish and chips Breakfast Burger with Garlic Fries Food pretty good; atmosphere was loud but decent; Service was ok. I'm always at a loss on how to get a server's attention when I'm here. I think I should try sitting at the bar. The fish and chips is shareable.

Local watering hole my wife and I visit probably a few times a month. Typical pool room atmosphere is nice and clean with a non threatening vibe. Food is very good so don't forget the menu, we often go there for just the food

Excellent bar food and decently priced drinks for the Uber expensive state of California. Highly recommended.

I really like the food here but we had very hostile service today! It was scary to be yelled at that way by our server. I went to lunch with my parents and forgot my id so I drove home and brought it back. I'm not sure if this was all a misunderstanding because I came back, put my ID on the table, and started to eat the food with my parents. I didn't even see the waitress when I walked in. Another employee scanned my ID, and I thought everything was fine. A few min later, the waitress yelled at me, saying I was supposed "I told you to bring your ID to me, and you didn't!". It was 130pm on a Monday, and we were not drinking. I hope this was a misunderstanding because I didn't hear her tell me to bring my ID to her. We all are distraught after being yelled at by a waitress at a place we go to all the time.Also, I never even got water, asked if I wanted water or really if I wanted anything. I'm not sure where the anger came from. My parents go there every week and I go with at least once a month. Only time I have been yelled at from a waitress. After all that we still tipped because something must be wrong outside of work for her. None the less it was completely inappropriate and traumatizing behavior from her who claimed to be "way older than me".

I have had several opportunities to visit it. In the past..... I used to be the field engineer for the area from General Electric, one the biggest companies related with industrial automation , based on thousands of different sensors connected to an automatism management system with the power to manage thousands of variables ... Well.. of course it was a very interesting job but being responsable for the interaction of hundreds of data sources and it's proper computers processed automatic reactions is a serious job... And now Iam a retired guy..still alive and still proud latino born human.

Good bar and food but Molly is a straight up disrespectful, she has to watch her mouth. She approached me all weirdly as I tried to get the chef a shot as the menu says.
