“Amazing service and food was great! Menu had options for everyone! salads, sandwiches and burgers, so yummy!Vegetarian options: Salads, sandwiches and soupsParking: You need to pay but it's very cheap, 1 dlls an hourKid-friendliness: There's space for them to play and roam around, beautiful view to the marina“
“Fantastic tap room in National City. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and whoever did the beer list artwork is very talented. I don't get down to National City very often, but this is a must-visit spot on the list now. Great beer list and great folks.“
“LOVE this place! Taco Tuesdays are great and the tacos are really good. I took a star bc i asked if i could hang up a flyer on their bulletin board, they said yes, then tore it down. If you didn’t want me to just say so, but don’t tear it down after giving permission; i have to pay to have those printed.“
“Great fresh seafood! We ordered the grilled octopus, the steamed clam + mussels, ceviche, and fish n’ chips.First everything you can tell is fresh- something I truly appreciated. The grilled octopus was perfectly cooked and comes with a delicious salad. One of the best octopus plates I’ve had. The steamed clam + mussels were also delicious- it actually reminded me of one of my favorite meals I had on a visit to Portugal. Fish n’chips were also very good.Ceviche was meh. I would recommend not getting this. If they could take it off their menu, even better because the other things they have are so great.“
“LOVE this restaurant!! Great food served by an excellent crew. Had dinner here one night, back for lunch the next day. Out of town tourists that wished we were local.Parking: Maybe quick free parking at the bank. Street parking was difficult.“
“Where has this place been all my life??? It feels like a spa. All tucked away from the hustle bustle. Lots of green and chill vibes. The friuted sour is literally all I ever wanted in a beer. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. This place is the perfect location to start your night out, or come for a quick break from life. Def will be back “
“Stumbled across this gem. If you're in the San Diego area, I highly recommend. The food was great and so was the service. Ribs and pulled pork were my favorite. Sides were delicious too. Mac, baked beans, and slaw were all good. The corn bread is the best I've ever had. Spacious place to hang out with friends.“
“Our party of 4 went on a Thursday night and we were seated right away. There were seats at the bar and 2-4 person high and low tables. Because it’s in Hillcrest, we had a rough time looking for street parking- ended up finding a spot a couple blocks down.We ordered from the Specialty Tacos list: Steak and Bones, Bad to the Bone, and El Presidente. The tacos were surprisingly large!*Steak and Bones: full sized grilled rib eye tender steak slabbed on a corn tortilla— definitely can’t eat it like a normal taco*Bad to the Bone: fall-off-the-bone beef rib on a corn tortilla*El Presidente: 3 large pieces of garlic shrimp on a corn tortilla— so good!We also ordered the *Steak and Bone Fries and the *Steak and Bone Nachos. These 2 were just okay for us. The nachos were crunchy but these were smaller portions served on big plates which made it look underwhelming.Our server was attentive and service was pretty quick, considering how large the meats were.I’d come back for their Specialty tacos!Parking: Paid street parking only (free after a certain time). Difficult to find a spot especially during night time.“
“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.“
“So many things I could have ordered, the options on this menu are vast, delicious, and represent both the American diner the place started as as well as the Mexican roots of the owner. If you like good food this super friendly, no fuss but all flavour place, is one of your best options on Coronado. Went with my kids who loved the huge pancakes, soft french toast, and crispy fries. I had the BLT-A, tried some of my dads fish tacos and my wife’s chorizo burrito, and look forward to going back for it all again sometime soon.“
“Sam is the owner and he made a fantastic pizza for us.We got the San Diego and it was delicious. Great wings, brunch mozz sticks, soft and fresh pizza.My wife is a huge pica snob and doesn’t like it much but this was a hit with her.Thank you for the pizza Sam, sending love from Riverside.“
“We came in from las vegas and decided to try THE BALBOA SOUTH after hearing good things. We were not disappointed. The overall environment was clean, up beat, and family oriented. The centennial burger was massive and cooked medium the way I like it. The garlic fries, and salt and pepper fries were on point. The dark horse stout awesome!. Okay in done. Definitely will be going back before our trip is done.“
“I've been on a burger kick so my husband has been taking me to all his favorite places. I ordered the balboa burger and it was delicious ! Along with the fries , I really enjoyed the aioli sauce. I'm excited to come back and try out the different burgers. Everyone who works here is great ! It's a pretty cool place to drink some beers and play some pool.“
“My husband and I rarely go to sushi. Besides our favorite place back home because it’s usually such a disappointment. We decided to give this a try and I’m so glad that we did! Stephanie was phenomenal! ? The atmosphere was great and all of the food was delicious. We got a Bento box and two rolls and will definitely be back!“
“Stopped by for a quick beer, very cool atmosphere and great hospitalityMichael and Scott were helpful when we asked to taste a few beers before we buy. Tastings FOR THE WIN!! Thank You!Had 2 delicious Double IPAs.Cheers ? ... till next time“
“What a charming spot! Visited on a leisurely Saturday afternoon and were seated right away. Ordering at the counter was a breeze, and then we chose our own cozy spot. The selection of kombucha on tap caught my eye, though they also offer beer and wine.We indulged in the Tokyo fries, bahn mi, and tom kah soup. Each dish arrived at the perfect temperature and bursting with flavor. The friendly service added to the delightful experience. I'd definitely come back for more!“
“We finished eating at Buona Forchetta and wanted to continue with drinks. Kindred was packed so we came to Harland. So glad we did. We got seated immediately, great drink options and great prices!It was too cold to sit outside but great if you have fur babies.“
“Visited in April 2015. San Diego’s Donut Bar crafts absolutely delicious donuts. Their variety is both vast and intriguing, reminiscent of the offerings at Voodoo Doughnut in Portland. However, be prepared to invest some time waiting in line to savor these extremely delicious treats. Rest assured, every minute spent in that queue is well worth it.“
“Decided to check this place out with a friend real fast, and we were satisfied. The games were half off. The staff guy was really sweet & fun and the music was really good. It's a small spot, but there are lots of drinks, so it's definitely worth checking out! The baja Blast Seltzer was one of my favorites !!!!“
“My boyfriend and I LOVE getting breakfast from here. We most often get the breakfast burrito and it is SO delicous and filling. The other night we decided to go here to try the afternoon meals. The fish and chips....try it, just do it, SO GOOD. I have also now gotten the PM breakfast burrito and hot diggity!! I had also gotten a side salad and the size was for sure worth the extra $4, it could have been a entree itself. Additionally, we have gotten the wings to split and I smacked those bad boys down.The crew is nice, parking isn't the worst, and the atmosphere is a really cool vibe. All that in addition to some delish food, there is no losing.“
“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.“
“*amazing* food, superfun vibe, and a really great selection of guest taps (the BLAH house beers are, well, exactly as advertised - BLAH. ??♀️)I especially like the Highland Park Brewing beers (the pb stout Meryl) and the beers from Living Haus - standouts amid a week of standout beers! ?I had the Harvest pizza today - sweet potatoes, broccolini, really delish sauce “
“We visited on the 22nd 23rd and 25th of September in 2023 (Jim and Priya) I've been in a lot of cigar lounges and this is by far the most awesome experience I've ever had. The decor is like a movie set and the crowd is young and fun and eclectic. You will not find better ambiance anywhere. The host Christine took fabulous care of us and even let me borrow her torch - not something every lounge will do. They serve a nice selection of beer/wine and are open till Midnight. When we find ourselves in town again we're sure to come back.“
“The beer choices were good and the bar tender was excellent at helping to help me narrow it down for a flight of 4 beers. Don't listen to google, it was totally open on a Wednesday at 3 when google said they are closed on Wednesdays. The coco ono ipa was delicious! I'm not an ipa girl, I dislike hoppy beer, but the subtle coconut flavor made the beer delightful. But hands down favorite, so good I said "f*** that's delicious" after my first sip was the Ziggy Stardust sour. A must do while in Dan DiegoSide note: cleanest bathroom I've ever seen in a brewery, across the whole US. It's unisex, but it is clean! Thank you, the ladies, we appreciate that!!!“
“Overall, large quantity and love that you can do a split pizza. The garlic knot crust is unique.Food:Quantity was more than enough for 4, love that theres a split option pizza and many vegetarian options that are out of the box. Enjoyed the garlic knot crust!I ordered this on ubereats and everything came with it like plates, i wish they gave pepper and cheese. That was the only thing missing!“
“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.“
“An awesome little gem nestled away at the One America Plaza trolley stop! The service was warm, friendly and upbeat. I felt so welcome. And the taco trio was outstanding -- I couldn't finish it (the little side of tortilla chips and salsa were delicious, too! I added avocado and it elevated already perfect tacos. I work nearby and this was my first time here. Will definitely be back!“
“This place is delicious!!! I was impressed with the service and quality of the food! Tacos El Gordo and Ahumaderas is a 1 out of 5 compared to this place! I didn’t even know this place existed until family members came from out of state and we looked for a good taco place. Their carne asada and adobada is DELICIOUS! The agua frescas are so good and the churros yum yum yum! You must try!“
“The food came out hot with the spicy chicken having a nice flavor. But the batter wasn’t the best not really crispy as other comparable Korean chicken joints. The Peli fries are kind of a fake cheese powder so be aware they might not be for everyone. But the beer is cheap and the service is good.“
“Every once in awhile I have to hit the Chicken Pie Shop!While I get sticker shock at the price increases everywhere, the Chicken Pie Dinner is still a great value!The place has taken à lot of hits for it's service, but I had a great experience today. Marie was awesome! Quick, friendly, and attentive!“
“Amazing vibe, food, and taps! That such a simple idea could take off like this is a treat. Great space for friends, or just to chill and catch a game. About 4 billion pretzels and sauces to choose from, and the taps are creative and diverse. Wish I was closer.“
“A fresh take on gourmet donuts. Vegan donuts are excellent, even if you do not have diet restrictions. I have been to this place for years and am glad to see seasonal items popping up now and then. Service is quick, and there is a friendly staff--the fantastic smell of donuts inside the store. The area does not have a lot of seating, but Paseo One has enough seating area you just have to find a spot. Great place for sweet“
“I live and hate this place however, there's no denying the quality of its food—it's among the best Mexican restaurants in town. However, the ambiance can be a bit overwhelming at times. The place tends to get crowded and hectic, especially during peak hours. The loud music adds to the lively atmosphere, but it can make conversation difficult. If you're looking for a quiet, intimate dinner where you can catch up with friends or family, this might not be the ideal spot. Nevertheless, if you're solely focused on indulging in delicious food, it's definitely worth a visit.“
“I attended a wonderful birthday dinner at the Parado.The outside patio was the perfect setting for our group of four.Our waiter Beto gave us excellent service. He was very knowledgeable about the menu items and gave us specific details about the ingredients. The beet salad on a bed of arugula was fresh and well presented. My sea bass was cooked to perfection, moist with a nice sear on top.The German chocolate cake and coffee topped off an enjoyable meal.The excellent service and courtesy from the Parado emplyees really set the bar high.“
Chicken • $
“Oh my baGawk!Their chicken is soo ridiculously good. And that's coming from a vegetarian that had their crispy plant tenders. Pair it with their house salad and a beer and you'll be set! I look forward to eating here whenever we're around one of their 3 locations because they never disappoint! It's the only place where my very carnivorous bf and I can comfortably eat a full crispy chicken meal with our toddler , who is now also a huge fan.Vegetarian options: Plant based tenders in multiple sauce/flavor options , sides , saladsKid-friendliness: Outdoor shaded, enclosed patioWheelchair accessibility: Out door patio“
“The neighborood spot I never knew I needed. We will definitely come back. We ordered the CHIPS AND DIP*: Potato Chips, Sea Salt, Caviar, Crème Fraiche, Chives, this was chef’s kiss. We also ordered,- “THE DANDY”: Red Sauce, Oiled Cured Tomatoes, Cheese Blend, Calabresse, Crispy Prosciutto and it was delicious.Bl Be sure to leave room for dessert- GOOEY BROWNIE*: Chocolate Chip Brownie, Crème Fraiche Gelato, Butterscotch Sauce,Candied Pecans is to die for!! Enjoy!!“
“A place to get burgers & bait and beer while you're fishing. Although technically, you don't have to be fishing to eat here. If you're walking by or you're in the area and it's a nice day, it's a nice place to just grab a little bite to eat, especially on a nice day.The prices are a tad high but let's just say having a burger in the sunshine is totally worth it.Parking: Plenty of free parking. It's at a park right next to a large music venue and when there's no music, there's plenty of parking.“
“One of the few places in Old Town for our family's late flight into the area. Our party of 7 sat outside, under a heater. We enjoyed drinks, a delicious meal, and conversation without feeling rushed. Our waitress was just the best!! She knew the menu well and recommended drinks and meals. Thanks for a great start to our family's visit!!!“
Brewery • $$
“Dying for a beer? Black Plague is a great spot for a beer and a bite with a spooky theme. This North Park location is a taproom for Black Plague, a brewery with their main location in Oceanside. It's a bit cozy, but it has distinctive Plague Doctor theme, and other spooky stuff to help it stand out from your "normal" brewery. We tried a pretty large portion of the beer menu, and everything was good. None of the beer truly stood out as different or special, but not every brewery needs to experiment with new things. We got some food that was easy to share with the group, cheese curds (Curds of Doom) and poutine (Molten Mayhem). It's appropriate bar food for the location. PROPS: Unique theme that extends from how the location is decorated, to the names of every item. This is a great place for pictures. SLOPS: While everything we ate and drank was good, nothing stood out as great. It feels like they're playing it safe with the menu.“
“Really love this place! Coffee, alcohol and cigars?! Also M-F happy hour! The barista’s are so nice and helpful. I’ve had the frosty & ube cold brew so far and both were delightful. Also the banana bread is some of the best I’ve ever had.“
“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!“
“A fresh take on gourmet donuts. Vegan donuts are excellent, even if you do not have diet restrictions. I have been to this place for years and am glad to see seasonal items popping up now and then. Service is quick, and there is a friendly staff--the fantastic smell of donuts inside the store. The area does not have a lot of seating, but Paseo One has enough seating area you just have to find a spot. Great place for sweet“
“Cool and relaxed San Diego bar close to Balboa park. Free parking in a garage right around the corner! The Ahi nachos were recommended but they were too hard to eat on narrow pasta chips! Drinks were tasty and beer selection was good. Definately will go again and try different appetizers!“
“Hidden gem in Kensington! One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been in San Diego. Loved the pizza toscana, feel like every bite I had was better than the last. The best alla vodka with bacon I’ve had in over ten years, couldn’t stop eating it. We sat on the dog friendly patio which has heaters. The service was excellent and food comes out quick. Must go!“
“There are three other locations. They have Trivia Tuesday and Wing Wednesday.We just missed their happy hour from 3-5pm M-T so we just got tasters and hung out.Loved that they offer variety of food like Korean fried chicken sandwich, Bavarian pretzel, and plant based impossible burger. The beers on tap have 3 sizes.I got 5 ounce Carlsbad crush which was too hoppy for me but if you pair it with food, it took the hoppiness down and a notch.Then I had the 5 ounce Invita - Mexican lager which was light and yummy. Tasted even better with food pairing.The location is at a corner. Literally a short block from the Sante Fe Depot trolley stop. All tables were bar height except for two tables in the corner.Friendly staff and great ambiance.Dogs are allowed in the patio. However, inside dogs are reserved for service animals.“
“I really like this place. Happy hour is incredible and inexpensive. I go here even when it's not Happy Hour. Mondays bucket of mussels is the bomb, Wednesdays Wings are super and sauces are creative I usually only like Franks Hot sauce but now I go for all the other sauces. Mike the owner is KOOL and the staff is top notch. Alissa the bartender is ON HER GAME! Best unknown place in San Diego better than any spot in PB“
“Ordered the short rib burrito and thought it was really good. Yes, $20 is a lot for a burrito, but this was the first time I've actually been satisfied with my ballpark food. The quantity and quality was all there; definitely a hefty burrito.“
“I really don’t get the bad reviews… I’ve been coming here almost every week for almost a year now… it’s always a great time, any food that I have tried has always been fresh, hot and tasty. The beer selection is immense and delicious (get the bad apple cider… it’s the bees knees). I feel like anyone that had a bad experience… was a Karen ? or privileged. The owner is the best, super kind and has a great sense of humor. The other girl that gets behind the bar is also super nice and attentive.The bar is always clean and the regulars are also nice and welcoming. It’s almost like your family bar. I’ve had nothing but good vibes and energy ANY time I come. Try the fries, wings, tenders, burgers and the brisket… it’s all good… you won’t regret coming here“
“Very high quality shop in a great location. Beer selection is impressive, including European, wine and cider options are vast, and there’s even a cheese and meat case. Lots of other unique products to pair with all of their beverage options. A small selection of drafts but they’re all quality. Had a pint of Enegren Schwarzbier and grabbed a few Enegren cans. Staff are awesome, specifically the store manager who has a vast knowledge of everything available. Love the passion and the product.“
“The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, from the staff to the customers. It's never a dull moment, with TV's in all directions, to catch any sporting event's that may be on that day.. Most importantly it's the spot where I met my wife, 3 years strong now and we always look forward for our next stop @overthetapnc“
