“still here at the moment. this place is a cozy, hole in the wall establishment. the smash burger they have here is intoxicating all on it's own, it literally melts in your mouth. I added some fries on the side and my drink of choice was the natural red wine. I paired these fantastic options with the outdoor seating that is located in the back. I chose this place because it's within walking distance of where I live. I'm glad it's nearby, because I'll be coming back again. It's my first time here by the way. 5 out of 5 ! Also, let me add that the music playlist they have in rotation is curated perfectly well. Good vibes to say the least.“
“I just celebrated my birthday in the most epic way at Deano's! Reserved a huge booth to see the 80z Allstars band with my friends! Dean, the bartenders, and barback work so hard to ensure every guest is having a great time! Deano's is now my go-to party place!“
“This place is hoppin! Monday nights are a great night to come here and learn to line dance, or just watch all the beautiful people line dance. The crowd was mixed with young people and their parents ( I think) I know I look like someone's parent. My kid would never be seen with me here, but anyway. I had an imperial stout and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I used to be a stout/porter/dark beer girl. Ok, I was a beer babe back in the day. But nowadays, I only drink tequila or seltzers for the carb savings. On this Monday, I chose to break my new pattern and enjoy one of my old favorites. The Imperial stout had good carbonation, was full flavored but not over powering or bitter. It was excellent if I might say. I saw that they have events every night of the week, and this place is very popular, trendy, and happening for a SANTEE establishment.“
“Visiting this lodge was delightful! Our visit was on a Friday -- with dinner & Karaoke happening that evening. Our group of 16 were welcomed with open arms by all officers & official members as we ate our dinner. The bartenders were friendly and served up our requests fast & precise. We were taken our a tour of the lodge which was remarkably large and beautiful. The parking was equipped for an abundance of parking for large events. Karaoke was fun and the room was full! Thank you for the warm welcome!“
“My wife and I are big fans of all things Tiki and we've been wanting to go to The Luau for awhile now. Last night we finally went and it was so worth it. We were greeted the moment we entered the door. The bar was full so we went to the outside patio which was decorated perfectly with tiki water fountains and vintage longboard surf boards. Our bartender John was amazing and lit the spiral propane heater as it was a bit cold outside. He got us our two Mai Tai drinks (they were amazing by the way)super quick and kept our bowl of Goldfish and pretzels full at all times. John was such an attentive bartender and made sure we always had everything we needed including waters. Mind you it was very busy and he had a lot of other customers to serve but in spite of that he managed to check on us quite often. As the evening got later the inside tiki bar was less crowded and so we went inside. It was decorated so cool and a very warm and friendly atmosphere. We met the other bartender Tony and he was very friendly and attentive as well. Great experience we will definitely be back. Excellent tiki drinks in perfect tiki mugs at a reasonable price. We were both so happy we went to " The Luau"“
“Visited on 12/16/23 with a buddy after hiking Mission Trails. Had the AJ IPA and he had the rotating IPA. Both were tasty. We also split the golden stout. Pours gold in color, not the usual darker color associated with a stout. Very tasty and my buddy said with hints of caramel. Andrew the bartender was cool and laid back. You need to check this place out.“
“We enjoyed a very nice experience at Hooleys, for dinner. We were greeted promptly upon arrival and seated at a nice booth.Our server, Lexi was at our table quickly to get drink orders. Our food and drink arrived quickly. Everything was prepared well. We had a Calamari appetizer, followed by a Beef Stew Boxty and Corn Beef with Cabbage. Portions were plentiful, with leftovers for another meal. Wednesday is also half price bottle wine night, which was a big plus.“
“Have been here for breakfast quite a few times now and it's been wonderful! The service is friendly, down to earth. Bottomless coffee is wonderful. The dining area at 9:30 am is quiet and chill on Saturday mornings. Perfect for introvert me! I love the Mainstream breakfast and omelettes as well. My friend ordered ham steak and eggs and was blown away at the size of the ham; ended up taking half with her. Portions are beautiful! Go hungry! I enjoyed a basic Bloody Mary today, and it was good. No frills, which is how I enjoy my breakfast sometimes.“
“The bartender and employees working there are nice and respectful. They wanted me to feel like I'm welcome there. One employee even asked if I wanted to play pool cause the pool table was free that night. Will definitely be my bar from now on.Parking: Late at night, you can park in the restaurant parking lot across the street. There are only a few parking spaces in the front.“
“Wow! I came here for New Year's Eve with my boyfriend and we both had a great time. They have something for everyone, the people were friendly and fun to talk to, and we both enjoyed it. They have board games too and a small back patio. I can't wait to go back.“
“We are regulars here because the service is top notch, the food/sushi is excellent, and the bartenders remember us and our favorite drinks every time we grab a seat at the bar. The Rose Roll is second to none, the Ramen is bomb, and my partner loves the Lemon Cilantro Roll as well. It can get really busy late night on the weekends and sushi during these times can take a long time to come out (understandably) so plan ahead, be patient and kind. Mahalo!Parking: The ground floor of the parking structure next door is free for restaurant parking! And it has EV Chargers!“
“Does and done to heaven. Their Thursday oyster happy hour special is delicious. Handcrafted cocktails will not disappoint. Service is ok as it is extremely busy during dinner. You don't get a ton of attention. However, I feel that the quality of the food makes up for it.“
“Came here for the first time. We were looking for live music all over san diego rather than going all the way for Solona for the Belly up tavern we found this hidden gem instead. We sat down and felt right at home, and while we were there I started reading the Low star yelp reviews and was rather shocked people were complaining about the Drinks and the level of noise. I had a jack and diet and ONLY paid 8$ Not only is that cheap considered we go to Pool Bars and Speakeasies where you would pay 15$ for a drink but it was incredibly strong. The Bar tender was incredibly kind and Helped my girlfriend who doesn't drink Much in picking out something. There was no one there except for the bands friends which is extremely upsetting because I Have not seen such raw talent in a long time. The bathroom in turn were rather clean which is something you wouldn't expect. This place is absolutely a hidden Gem I wish we knew about it sooner. Will have to take my family and anybody out in east county here asap!“
“Phenomenal food and service!!! I came in for a late lunch and was greeted by the owner Miguel, who lured me in with a delicious smelling steak he was cooking up on their outdoor smoker grill. Brooke, the waitress and bartender gave exceptional service! I mentioned I liked the olives in my bloodymary so she totally surprised me with an extra full skewer of them! Their bloodymary mix is homemade, I asked for mine to be spicy and she did it very well! I ordered the verde pozole that was fantastic and freshly made with all the fixings - Freddy is an excellent chef! I also ordered the elote bites and I agree with the menu description - an absolute favorite! Moderate sized bites of elote goodness sprinkled with some cotija and a homemade creamy chipotle sauce for dipping. I also ordered their wings and went with the mango habenero sauce that was absolutely delicious - perfect mix of heat & sweet over savory delicious crispy wings, served with an ample portion of homemade delicious ranch dressing good enough to scrape the last bite of! When I saw the sign. American and Mexican food, I was unsure if it'd be disappointing Americanized Mexican dishes...nope, the sign is exactly correct, their menu is a separate mix of delicious authentic GREAT Mexican food AND delicious homemade GREAT American food. The atmosphere is perfect to chill and catch any type of TV you'd like to watch, mix of sports, classic movies, the news, and more. Steele 94 offers a wide range of exquisite bourbons, whiskeys, and other fine liquor classics and draft beers. But wait there's more.... WATER IS FILTERED AND FRESH!!! Most places serve tap water that tastes like chemicals, Steele 94 serves refreshing filtered water that tastes like you're drinking straight from a mountain spring - no residues or floating chemicals in the water or ice! Nestled in a quaint area at the bottom of the mountains, there are other nearby great and unbeatable shopping for other goods such as produce and farm supplies, and of course my favorite veterinarian is right across the street, Steele Canyon Vet. I could go on and on raving about this place, but it's better to come and get the best dining experience for yourself!!! Plenty of parking available, and very affordable for such exceptional quality. See pics below for current menu and foodie pics :)“
“Food is really great but yeah service was slow. My daughter had the seafood spaghetti, my husband had the lasagna, i had the build your own pesto pasta. Their pesto pasta was really good. The dried tomatoes on it was so good. Pesto sauce was creamy. I had shrimp and meatballs on it. Chicken and shrimp would have been better. The build your own pasta is good for two especially if you're having 2 kinds of meat. Their meatballs was big and good, that would be great with the spaghetti not pesto.“
“The food here is pretty darn good. It's not inventive, but it is a great place to get a standard American breakfast. Service can be a little slow when dining during busy times and sometimes getting a table can take a few minutes. I wouldn't come here when you are starving, but you definitely won't leave here hungry.“
“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!“
“Where do you start with this one, besides the female owner this place is a gem ;). The BEST dive bar in town, great prices and stiff drinks. The bartenders are great!! If you stick around long enough you will get fed and see the owner do his favorite dance! Whooooo“
“Howdy cowgirls and cowboys! For a bar on top of a feed store- it's pretty nice. Any night of the week - it is packed. It's small and local which is great! It does have great drinks and reasonably priced, it has line dancing and great music. Sometimes they have food trucks which is fun. If the dance floor isn't for you- they have pool table and corn hole. This bar is for everyone and fun.“
“i come to this bar every day to play pool in a nice laid back environment. one bartender that really stands out to me is Jamie. she always goes above and beyond to make sure every guest in the bar has a great experience. by far my favorite bar in lemon grove. great bar, great owner and GREAT BARTENDERS.“
“I’m an old boomer that does my drinking during the day because I have to get home to watch Matlock.? The owner Blake has done a great job with this place. The bartenders are young, attractive and attentive. $3 a pint for a domestic draft is the least expensive in the county.“
“Came for a couple of drinks with family while in town for a visit. Typical bar. We didn't eat here so we couldn't speak for the food but the drinks were good and the service was friendly. The customers in the bar with us at the time were all friendly and mostly locals, I'd say.“
“I love coming to Grover's Tavern to grab an Ice cold $10 mini pitcher of space dust or modelo, when the beautiful bartender Ruby is working.On Friday Night's & Sunday afternoon's She is a whole vibe. Her happy, positive energy is contagious & unforgettable. What a wonderful time it is when Ruby is serving her specialty drinks while providing amazing spectacular hospitality. She is pure Gold. Ruby Keep shining bright like a diamond ?“

“I went for the first time and I loved the place ❤️?? it's very ❤️ ❤️ quiet, it's very cozy, very clean and the staff is very friendly, and the food ? is great, I was delighted with this place and so you can see I did take photos of this place.“
“Been going here for years and the new location made it that much better. Tons of seating and a huge bar. My recommended sandwich is the Cali mist if you can handle a little spice. Devin, Kiana, Danny and Hunter are the best bar tenders IMO but generally the service is always great no matter who you get.“
“Came here on a weekend afternoon to try some beers. There are picnic tables outside and they had a Mexican food cart in front of the brewery. This is a nice brewery tucked away in La Mesa. Unfortunately I didn’t care too much for the beer selection that they had, there was nothing that really well with me, but I really enjoyed the location and the staff were very friendly. I will pop in another time when the tops rotate to try out some more beers.“
“Good drinking and good karoake crowd on Wednesdays from 8pm to closing. The bartender, Tyler is really funny and spreads good energy out to everyone. Has a "Cheers" vibe. If looking for a dive bar with good vibes in the area, this is the place. Especially on Wednesday “
“From the outside it looks a bit deceiving. Dark area but relatively safe. had been coming here for years and it's always been one of my favorite local dive bars until I moved on temporary assignment for a few years. Now that I'm back its still the same chill vibe, decent crowd and good spot to shoot a little pool and meet a friend or 2 for drinks. Has a patio as well as great service and food when they. are serving.“
“My experience was fantastic, will definitely be returning! Our food was delicious and our server Jaiden was amazing, she made us feel right at home and was very friendly. I had the firecrackers and the jalapeño burger which were both great while enjoying the padres game. Highly recommend!“
