    What can I say about this place. It's my go to hangout. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Just to name a few of the waitresses; Dani, Ashley, Aubrey, Sabrina, Bree, they are not in any particular order all beautiful, all helpful.

    One of the friendliest bartenders, Adriana, currently works Thursday thru Saturday. She's kind, beautiful and is always smiling. Adam, one of the managers, has been working here the longest, great guy, hard worker and a real interesting character.

    They have great specials. Every Thursday and Sunday they have the prime rib special, which is a very thick cut of meat served with a baked potato and broccoli.

    They brought back Filet Friday, which is an 8oz cut of filet cooked to your specifications served with a Demi glaze and mash potatoes all for $19. I hope they keep this special it's a great price for a great piece of steak.

    Like I said, it's my go to hangout. Lots of regulars people are treated like family.

    This was an interesting experience  started by the waitress with the long Blonde hair and big eyelashes. On her way to the Kitchen she plows into me ,and doesn't apologize.  My wife says something to her then she says "oh I'm so sorry" I definitely noticed she was was on drugs or drunk.
    I laughed .  Food was so so. Chicken Philly was dry as the Tuna wrap.
    good portion of Onion Rings which they were average. They were  Rubbery . Based on the waitress ,and the sub par food, I doubt I'll return.  Dig The Las Vegas style atmosphere though.
    Changes needed: 1 : Drug test employees   . 2. Improve the food quality and craft Beer choices.

    Like are you kidding me? Sat at the bar as the only non male customer there for other reasons ... ordered FRIES right away and waited 45 minutes without the bartender saying ANYTHING.
    For someone who works in food service I was fine waiting and didn't say anything because I can be patient. But just tell your customers what's going on and we can be totally chill if it's going to take long.
    Left without my food and still paid for my drink.
    DUDE.

    I stopped in for the first time the other day and was surprised by how great my experience was. Super cheap happy hour, free wifi that was easy to connect to, and friendly staff. The bartender chanel was so sweet and made amazing drinks. Will definitely be going back soon!

    Probably my favorite spot in San Diego!
    Let me start, the service is excellent. Happy hour can't be beat. $2 wells and $5 food. Just ate the best burger and fries for $5!! They have a beautiful venue, nice chairs, and multiple TVs. You must come here!!
