I'm waiting for my OG double burger with no cheese and only raw onions l. My son Jordan is getting the fatty melt on Texas toast. French fries with mango habanero sauce on the side. In replacement of the no Lumpia I chose the Fried Pickles. They are still the same ownership so I will have to make a visit to their other location soon") I am not going to compare their burgers and just go with their own style and take. Fried pickles came out first and it was breaded and as I bite into it the pickle pulls away from the fried breading. It it well seasoned though ")! Waiting on our burgers for 30 minutes. They finally bring them to us. So the burger patties are like crumbled into the burger bun and doesn't hold up as well. There is a slight char going and patty is a little dry. I was not expecting the raw onions to just be cube cut and not round slices either. I don't know how how I feel yet but my son likes his Fatty Texas Toast Patty with the aoli sauce. Maybe try something else down the line. At least I tried it. Am not comparing to others l.

Is this place gonna stay open? I came here on a Saturday night, and I was the only customer from…read morethe moment I entered to the moment I left. Well....if I said I thought closing this place would be a loss to the community, that would be a lie. I got the loco moco. I gotta say, you guys have some cajones calling yourself a Hawaiian joint and using bland ground meat for your loco moco, truly a courageous decision from the owner. Is it that difficult to afford or make a patty? For some reason, if I look up loco moco on Google images, I just can't seem to find one that looks like this. LMAO The macoroni salad is alright. I must've been living under a rock though because I didn't realize this macoroni salad was famous. Finally, the rice seems like a slightly shorter grain than you would normally use for loco moco maybe? Is this....rice for sushi? It's a tad too sticky for my preference. It both looks and tastes like cafeteria food. Although, to be fair, it'd be good cafeteria food. As someone in the military, I can report that I've had worse food than this in the galley. Lol Okay, the fried eggs are good. But I can make that. Actually, I could make this entire meal, but better. Well okay, I'd have to buy the macaroni salad.....but that's what you guys did too, right? You know, maybe it's my fault. The cashier did say that their teriyaki chicken was the most popular item, but I didn't order that. Although, my standards for any Asian-coded chicken is higher than most other food, so I somehow doubt I would've been satisfied. The OMG IPA is good I guess. In recent years, I dislike most IPAs. Like, I'm not categorically opposed to bitter beer, but I feel like most IPAs are just bitter without much other flavor. This one balances that with some strong fruitiness. I find the balance enticing. This could be a passable space to get a beer and socialize with other people......if there were any.

Came down here from Stockton, California to see the Padres game. Me and my friend had a hangover…read morefrom the night before so we decided to look for a brunch or breakfast spot along the Imperial Beach. It was a little cloudy that day but we finally found the place. They had a huge brunch menu. I didn't really have an appetite so I ordered the green pozole with tortilla chips and a side of biscuit and gravy. $10 was a reasonable price for the portion and the soup was very good. Helped out with the hangover! My other friends ordered other breakfast plates and it seems they give a lot for the bucks. Very cozy grill, we were situated near the entrance and we had the view of the beach and the streets. Very clean location! Server was extremely friendly and talented too. She was on roller skates while serving us, now that's dedication! I would recommend this spot!

Product itself: I ordered the half rack of baby back ribs, the potato chicken soup, upgraded the…read morefries to their garlic Parmesan fries and an avocado bacon burger. To drink, water and a 22oz Pacifico. The burger was good, tasted like it came from the grill and the bacon came extra crispy without even having to ask (I love crispy bacon!). The ribs were underwhelming :( I know it's a sports bar so food is expected to be fast (which it was) but they just lacked any flavor and had very minimal bbq sauce (I asked for extra). Customer service: I was served by Maria P and she was AMAZING! It seemed like she had a full section and was running around every which way and still have the best energy when she was serving us. She is the reason we ordered the soup and she did not fail us! It was very good. She seemed very hard working. Value: The bill total was $55 so overall I would give the value for what we ordered an 8/10. It was a big volume of food which I can appreciate, but the ribs were just underwhelming when it came to flavor. Atmosphere: I can say for atmosphere I give them a 10/10 because it gives entirely sports bar vibes, but clean. You don't feel dirty small town sports bar vibes like some of their competitors in the city and the vibe is very uplifting. Overall experience: I have been going to the IB forum ever since I was a little girl and I have ordered the fish and chips before (usually my go to), the wraps, and salads. Everything has always been decent that's why I'd I could go more detailed than 3 stars I would say 6.7.

They were absolutely perfect. Far exceeding my expectations. The outside was exceptionally crisp but not oily. The jicama and cucumber slaw added such a great freshness that enhanced every bite. An exceptional experience overall. Especially coupled with the ocean views. I'll be back!

We arrived during…read morehappy hour, and although there weren't that many patrons on a Tuesday afternoon, service was a bit slow. We ordered the fish tacos, calamari and oysters. The calamari is different than from other places. It is softer rather than crunchy but the taste is pretty good. The same cannot be said for the fish taco. It left much to be desired. It was very bland, the tortilla was soggy , and the sauce appeared to be at the bottom of the fish rather than the top. It was a generous portion of a taco, but it really lacked in flavor and was messy to eat. The oysters were decent. The happy hour price did go up by a dollar and the Moscow mule was on point. I wanted to like this place more but the food was okay the slow service did not help.

If you are into mouth-watering crispy wings, locally brewed beer and beach vibes, then Pizza Port…read morein IB is the place to be. Let's first talk about the location. It is about a block away from the beach, has the that local-scene type of vibe where people show up in their golf carts or on their bikes. The location has both outdoor and indoor seating. And those of you who are like me that is sometimes cold but also likes the outdoor area, they have seats that give you the best of both worlds. The menu is simple but yet it has variety within its options. They offer pizza, wings, appetizers like tater tots, mozzarella sticks, and such. I think they even offer salads but let's be honest, I am there for the wings. There is something about their crispy freshly made wings that makes you just want to devour them. They offer teriyaki, buffalo and bbq wings. The best part? On Wednesdays they have a special where the wings are 75 cents. Actually, I lied . The best part, is the 5 dollar beers they offer when the Padres are playing. Our favorite go to is the Amigo-Lager. The staff is super friendly and they even offer military and teacher discounts. the only downside is that parking is limited but there is plenty of street parking.

Which I didn't take for an answer and glad I didn't... because I made him double check with the guys in the kitchen. Our pizza was DONE and had been sitting in the warming oven...... That means the guy at the register completely forgot about us.....as we sat and waited for 35 minutes in his direct line of sight....

They've got both indoor and outdoor seating, but on a hot day I'd definitely recommend sitting outside because it gets pretty warm inside. Atleast outside on the deck you can get a breeze. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. We tried a mix of pizzas. Kids got classic pepperoni & cheese (NY thin style) I got the mushroom pesto (good, flavorful and light) Hubby got a Hawaiian with jalapeños (deep dish style) Loved that they offer different styles depending on what you're craving. Overall, it's a laid back, spot with good pizza and a great beachside vibe. Would definitely come back. And the ranch is really good.
