    Empty water glass.

    Great Dinner, great service, casual ambiance with friendly customers. Thank you Applebee's for a great Veterans day meal. Cheyenne was my server she was friendly attentive and actually took time for a brief conversation with me. If they had a baked potato instead of mashed you'd be seeing 5 stars...

    did the 2 for 25 which comes with two entrees and an appetizer, food was pretty good and fresh ! it came out quick as well as our drinks . our server was attentive and nice and we got sat pretty quickly. we went on a saturday night and they were not too busy

    My visit was beyond anything I could ask for. My OMCheese burger came out sizzling. Emmanuel was helping me out tonight and he was genuinely perfect. Not only was he incredibly kind, but he was the ultimate professional. He was on top of my refills and was very quick with getting out my appetizer, perfectly timing my entree as well. I could go on and on about Manny but the food was great, he made me smile, and he made the whole experience 1000x more enjoyable. I hope I get to sit in his section again‍

    Triple Chocolate Meltdown

    It's been a minute since I been to an Applebees. I loved the #CrunchyOnionRings but the rest of my meal not too much. I had their #Riblets and should have tried their full ribs instead. I liked the sauce but the bones were so thin. The #TripleChocolateMeltdown wax okay. Service was nice no complaints. If I came back I would probably order a burger and definitely their onion rings. Might be fun to watch a game as their were TV screens all over

    We came at this location and was seated right away. We were told our server will be someone with a name of Lisette or sounds like it. I left my kids to use the restroom after five minutes of browsing the menu. When I came back, no servers yet and the vacant seat behind me has been occupied. I asked my kids if they were asked for ordered drinks while I'm gone, they said no. I heard a server asking the orders of the one who were seated after us (the one behind me). What happened to first come first served? Or are they being specific on whom they're serving first? I won't come back nor recommend this location. We were there for good 15 minutes and none of server to help out. I would understand that if it's busy and we can wait but I'm sure on what tables were empty when we were given seats and their servers aren't attentive or just particular on their guests their serving. Goodluck.

    The food was really good, I enjoyed the chicken and steak specifically the onions in it were delicious. The fries that came with the chicken were my favorite too. The service was great too our waiter was kind and asked us if we needed anything else here and there. The ambience itself feels pretty home like so it's a good hang out spot.

    The worst service we could have received, since the first thing the host attended to us was because we were a group of 15 people, and she called the manager and they wanted to seat us in the bar area where there are high chairs, and we explained that we needed regular chairs since we came with elderly people and handicaps, and she explained to us that they could not seat us in the area with regular chairs because they did not have a waiter on that side and that there was only a waiter on the side of the bar, which made it difficult for her to understand us or send the waiter to the other area of the restaurant while there were customers sitting, I recommend not coming to this restaurant where they do not appreciate the customer and when we told her that we would be better off going to BJ's, the manager turned around and did not care about the lack of training on the part of the franchise towards its staff

    Salad bowl.

    Visited yesterday, almost empty, which was great; BUT our daughter's food came out way too early than ours--our food came out almost 20 min after--with my daughter's drink! Wow! Food was blah, OK--and my salad had dark avocado. I mentioned it to our waitress, and that was that, didn't offered to change it or anything. Place seemed clean, I just don't think we will go back.

    Their bar service is pretty quick and friendly The draft beer is always really cold Which I love. The hamburgers have never disappointed me. For a quick beer and a simple meal I would recommend. Location was clean and not too busy for a week day. They also have good deals on happy hour drinks and appetizers.

    this is supposed to be well done..

You can be yourself and no one bothers you. It's not crazy crowded, at least when I've been there during the weekdays. I can actually find a seat at the bar or just lounge in the back area on a couch. There are also tables and chairs to choose from. There has been a DJ, live band, karaoke or just plain music jammin. The highlight for me: the bar tenders ! They were attentive and friendly. Shout out to Justin and I forgot young looking female bartender's name. Shout out to her too This bar may not be as lit and inviting looking from the outside, don't judge. Step inside, give it a try Oh and see how many frogs you can find around the bar ...I counted about 15 plus.

    Ooohh, I really like this actually. I was expecting a more generic sports bar, and I'm glad it's…read morenot that. I mean, people totally still watch sports here of course and so do I, but what I mean is the space is bright and expansive, the location is lovely, and the monitors are ginormous. More importantly, the food and drinks are at least somewhat interesting. Not even sure if I've had hard kombucha before. I probably have, but I don't remember. These are largely light, sour, and fruity, which are the sort of alcohol I've been addicted to lately anyways. And they have cool fruits like dragonfruit and lychee. The bowls and fruit salad were what originally caught my eye. I was not feeling a berry salad, so I got a carne asada bowl, and it was delicious. The steak was soft and peppery, and the ratio of ingredients was well balanced. The hummus, kale, and salsas made for a fun Mediterranean flavor, and the basmati rice was fluffy and consistent. It's sad, but it's hard to find an Asian restaurant in town that makes a rice bowl this good.

The cheesy patty on rye bread was still delicious, and there were more fries than I could eat. Not much of a crowd except for the comics themselves, maybe 10-12 with a very entertaining host in between. All were good but many were hilarious including a first-timer. Fun vibe for sure, I would happily go again. I deducted one star because as a new guest, I asked the bartender if they had any special house cocktails. She seemed to hear the word special and thought I meant cheap. I said not necessarily cheap, but do you have any interesting house cocktails here. She said no, so I ordered something boring. Then I got the food menu which on the back had an entire list of house cocktails. But service overall was excellent.

I dont know if they changed ownership possibly, but this kind of (lack of) service is not going to fly with the general public. Its a shame. I use to love this place.

    The first time I visited CV Sports Bar was during basketball season and I was watching a Lakers…read moregame. I do remember buying a pitcher of Amber Bock for $10 and it was a big pitcher. So, my first visit was a cool experience with a few laid back people watching the game. After I left, I decided I would come back again to watch a game sometime. Currently, I visited this place again a few Thursday's ago(I think it was Thanksgiving, lol) to pregame it before I headed to Diamond Jim's. Why? Because Diamond Jim's only accepts cash only and the CV Sports Bar is just a few blocks down and they do take cards. A $10 dollar minimum is not bad at all because I've been to other places where you have to have a $20 minimum. I ordered a pitcher of Fat Tire for $12, which I didn't mind paying at all because its a well reasonable price for the size of their pitcher. The two guy bartenders were OK. They just seamed they didn't give a shit about their customers. I don't expect them to go beyond customer service expectation but show some character and be more helpful, especially if its a small bar with less than twenty people. Surprisingly, there was quit a few good looking girls but most of them had company already. But, its nice to know there's pretty girls that go there, Right? No guy wants a sausage fest. It's a chill bar to pre-game it or go with a few friends and watch a game. Reading these reviews below mine, I will have to watch my next UFC match at CV Sports Bar to see if its cool.

    This is located across the street from the new Northgate store in Chula Vista. It is a sports bar…read moreonly when a big boxing/UFC/Football/Soccer match is on, all other times this is a dive with some weird regulars. For me, this is the default spot to watch UFC fights when I don't want to go downtown. In this capacity this place is awesome. There are 4 HD falt screens in the place as well as 2-3 more regular TV's. All those TV's in a really small place means you will always have a spot with a good view of the action. Not a big selection of beers but what they do have is cheap. Service is somewhat lacking but I think its because they aren't used to the big crowds when a fight/event is going on. While food isn't on the menu, they do have a crock pot with melted cheese and chips to make nachos. They have the usual condiments (jalapeno's, onions) and sometimes chili. There is also a popcorn machine that they charge for (they don't charge for the nachos though???). There is a pool table that looks serviceable and a jukebox (they don't allow it during fights). They also have a stereo system that they can turn on if they want. Parking can be a hassle, as there is a really small lot behind the place. If you get there late you may have to park across the street. Credit Cards are accepted but have a $10 minimum in place.
