We went on a Friday night. We got there and ordered a drink, the bartender said they were closing…read moreearly because it was slow (not even midnight when they close at 2). We sat on the patio and another worker came and told us they were closing soon and we had to wrap up, with our brand new drinks. He came back not even 5 minutes later and said "ight guys you gotta get out." And made us leave while there were still 6 or 7 people inside sitting at the bar. Honestly pathetic, made us feel like we were very unwelcome even though we were paying customers. I never leave reviews but this place sucked so bad I had to. The employees always seem so annoyed to have any customers at all. There's always rumblings in town of this place closing down, and if they continue to treat people like that, it's only a matter of time until that's going to be true.

Went to do our normal bar hopping experience today and stopped in to say hello. Had a little…read moremisunderstanding from yesterday and the bartender Elizabeth and Luke handled it very well. Wanted to give a big shout out to the both of them. They definitely know how to make you feel welcome in there. Also, Jerry is one class act as well. He came over and visited with both my husband and I and it was wonderful for us both. Looking forward to next weekend again.

Wound up talking with a guy that game in and when asked why I picked that place, I told him I'd been there several years before and had the best burger I'd ever had. Within a few minutes, I found out he was the owner! We had a great conversation and I learned all about the bar, the owner, the employees and some civic activities the owner is involved in to support others in the community.

Food is good.

First time they forgot my chicken wing order. Luckily they have my number so they called and offered to bring it to me. Second time they forgot my cheesecake. This time they didn't have my number since I ordered it at the front. I was two months after surgery so was still feeling discomfort when getting in and out of the car so didn't go back to ask for it. So remember to check your order if you order for pickup to make sure.

Stopping on my way to Anaheim and Ale's came up as one of the highest rated places. It was…read moredefinitely decent. Just gotta drop a star because our waitress was a bit short and irritable, and the food was really nothing crazy amazing. Ended up having the shrimp and lobster fries appetizer which was pretty yummy, the shrimp on it is the best part. Even the kids loved the fries and ended up also splitting a chicken sandwich that was pretty basic, but cooked well and had a tasty bun. Wife and I split a pastrami burger, and gotta say the pastrami was really good, that was a great choice. It had a bunch of creamy cheese sauce on it as well and was gone in seconds. Ambiance was fine, place was really clean, and service was SUPER QUICK. One critique is when we asked for extra plates to split out food, the waitress told us they were out of plates because they used them all on the party that was in there. This was at max a party of 10, and the restaurant had to only have 10 more people in it total. Kinda weird to be out of plates at 20% capacity... she did end up getting us additional "trays" to use. Totally fine, just a bit odd. All in all, if you need some quick grub, stop in here on your way through. Price was pretty fair, 2 burgers, and an appetizer with ice teas for $50. Decent.

Absolutely amazing staff!! Quick, attentive, friendly and efficient!!…read more The food? Chef's kiss. A must for anyone who loves seafood. But fear not, my land-loving carnivores -- their burgers are legit too. The drinks? On point. I'm convinced they put magic (and possibly happiness) in their margaritas -- best in town, hands down. The vibe? Laid-back, spacious, and beachy enough that you'll forget the nearest coastline is hundreds of miles away. Close your eyes and you might just hear seagulls... or maybe that's just me after round two of margaritas. In short -- great food, great drinks, great vibes. If you leave here unhappy, you probably ordered water.

Just the perfect portion with the right amount of gooey cheese and over medium eggs. The hash browns are also crisped to perfection! Can't complain about the service. Food comes out quick and everything is very hot once you get it. They don't bring the check out to you, so make sure you go to the register towards the back near the kitchen to get your bill settled.

Food tastes exactly the same. The real disappointment during this meal was the eggs Benedict-- one of the eggs was severely overcooked, which defeats the purpose of even ordering this dish. I think a chef, or even a cook, should know this. Everything is overpriced, but especially the slice of banana cream pie at $7.95. Things I liked: the garlic toast, the busser did a great job, the bill was dropped on our table, and when I put my debit card on the bill, the busser kindly took it up to the register and rang me up. I didn't have to get up to pay my bill, which I really appreciate.

The day we went was surprisingly busy because of course it was their 20th anniversary celebrations and we had no idea! Even with it being incredibly busy things came out quickly! I got to try a peach slushy margarita thingy (I forget the cute name) and that was delicious and refreshing! All the food was delicious and well made! My husband really enjoyed the burger and commented how much he liked the meat mix. The server was a delight, and all around it was a good choice to stop by!

Decent place to come grab a beer and watch football, but will never live up to Schooners that it…read morereplaced. I was surprised when I finally tried Happy Hours that their menu is almost identical to what I remembered of Schooners, so I thought maybe I could come around. They have a decent draft beer list, and long cocktail menu, as well as very similar daily deals throughout the week to what Schooners had. The interior is pretty dark, with black and white decor - they removed the rustic charm from Schooners without really adding any improvements imo. The chicken caesar salad I had my first visit was not very good, the chicken was clearly from frozen. However the buffalo chicken fries my table shared were pretty good. My second visit I got the buffalo chicken wrap which I enjoyed, but the service that visit was awful. They seemed severely understaffed, and it took over an hour from when we sat down to when we got our food. Overall probably won't be trying here again for a while.
