“This review is long overdue. Buckboard BBQ catered a team dinner for Granite Hills Football. We hosted 95 people after practice and hands down this was one of the best experiences for the boys. The food was INCREDIBLE. The boys got seconds and thirds of all the options and the serving staff was phenomenal. Bonus Buckboard was generous enough to provide dinner for our boys at a cost we could afford. Thank you for the wonderful food and team dinner. We have frequented the restaurant many times since then and every dinner was amazing. El Cajon has a GEM in Buckboard BBQ.“

“I'm a BIG sushi lover and I was impressed by how delicious the food was here!! Everything was delicious from the sushi rolls to the miso soup. Order the lemon cilantro rolls!!! They were mind blowing good! Place is kind of small but there were people in and out. It's clean and plenty of parking. No loud music thankfully! They were showing a basketball game. People were eating, chatting, watching the game and drinking their saki. Very friendly service. Very good vibe. Plenty of parking. I will be BACK!!“

“Hidden gem in the mid city/city heights. My friend introduced me to this place. Once you walk in, you feel like you're in a different area; compared to the outside of this place LOL. I want to keep this place all to myself but I have to share. It's a small establishment with a bar, dining area and a rooftop lounge. I love that it is family friendly. Very nice, friendly and helpful crew Jasmine, Jennifer and Chris. We sat down and ordered a few drinks. My friend ordered some beer/IPA and I ordered Spicy Margarita (Serrano infused real del valle, triple sec, house made margarita mix, black charcoal salted rum). It was soooo delicious! I had to go for seconds , it is a spicy drink. I usually don't order spicy drink but this drink blew my mind; it was quite tasty. We also ordered some burgers. I ordered the black & blue burger: it was blackened seasoned beef patty, topped with blue cheese crumbles & buffalo sauce. On the side it had lettuce, tomatoes, onion and pickles. My friend ordered the burger of the month which was the "Pastramarami" which had beef patty, provolone cheese, sauerkraut and brown mustard. Both were cooked medium and burger meals came with a side of fries. We both liked our burgers. It was very fresh, the ingredients and fries were cooked perfectly. Burgers had lots of flavors. The Pattie's are from the Perennial Pastures ranch in North county and grass fed. The fries are insane, crispy, flavorful and compliments the burgers. Street parking is only available and very limited. I will definitely be back.“

“Ordered the Ortega Chili burger with steak fries to go. It is a solid burger, tasty, and they wrapped the lettuce, onions, and tomato separately so it didn’t get mushy during the ride home. Loved it!The steak fries were not so tasty. Maybe old oil or whatever, but I think I will try their onion rings next because those steak fries missed the target.“

“I'm from Texas and I take BBQ very serious. I haven't tried a bunch of their food but I love their bandit sliders! Sooooo good however one time I had them and they were extremely salty and the bacon was burnt so bad it tasted HORRIBLE. Other than that actually have a grill outside which is the correct way to make BBQ.“

2424 Hoover Ave Suite A, National City - 12.45 miles

“Had a great experience for my first time. The man (didn't catch his name but he was wearing glasses) who helped was super nice and didn't make you feel dumb when you mentioned you didn't know what you liked or when you would say you didn't normally drink beer. He was able to find all of us something we loved whether it was beer, cider, kombucha, or seltzers. Loved the music and how chill it is. Definitely will be back!“

“I'm a regular visitor, live in the neighborhood. There's something about this brewing, it has its own charm. They have sour and regular beers. Two separate warehouses. I prefer regular and there are lots to choose from. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday they have food track till 8 pm and live music on weekends. The atmosphere and people are very nice here. It feels like a family:). I recommend visiting this place on the weekend evening.“

“Decided to drop by after dinner down the road and so glad we did! Arturo was behind the bar and was so welcoming, charming and kind. The inside was quaint and gave off a homey vibe. My bf and I both had wine and appreciated the ambiance of the place. I can def see myself coming here to work, have a date night (like tonight) or even as a girls night. It was mentioned that Tuesdays are trivia nights ! I 'll definitely be back!“

“Came to a show at SDSU open air theater and was meeting 20 of my closest friends before. I'm told that Oggi's is the only place on campus that serves adult beverage + it's adjacent to the venue. we snagged a few tables at the back and gathered around. Everyone ordered their food & drinks themselves (counter service). I had a margarita (more like a slushy)..it was tasty =) i had a slice from my friends pizza..yum!!! perfect place to meet up and pre party before a show!!! glad i found it“

They only serve birria type of food, but you're welcome to go next door and order from Lolita taco shop and bring your food over. The birria that was ordered was well liked. The place has some games and plenty of room inside and out for kids to run around“
