Stopped in for a quick couple of drinks. Found a spot at the bar. Service could be improved but maybe they were short a bartender? One area that mgmt should pay attn to is when a server cashes out a ticket for someone paying cash, the register automatically opens, whether the server is close by or not. We had to flag down a bartender to show them and they closed the register. Good vibe tho and close to the beach so it's a great location. read more

Great view and friendly staff. Great chilaquiles! My only complaint was that the Chiliquiles don't come with eggs. You have to add them on for $4. Very generous with the guacamole and the chips are nice and Crunchy. But you have to add on eggs? And beans? WEIRD. I do have to say they are absolutely phenomenal. And yes, they were so good that we ordered a second plate for the table. read more

Don't get the fish and chips. They are overly battered like a bad Chinese chicken finger! Still though, if you sit at a table on the boardwalk and have a $14 20-ounce draft beer, life is good! read more

I would only recommend this place for sporting events because of the projectors. The food and service were not good and the prices are outrageous. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the food. I expected this place to be a basic tourist attraction that had average food, but I'm glad I was wrong. The pretzel charcuterie appetizer was an excellent idea and was delicious. However the burger was the standout! And the fries are superb! read more

The worst of the worst we will never return to this place bad food bad service one hour to bring our food to the table

We've been here multiple times in the past when we've been in town and have never really had issues. Stopped in yesterday and had the worst service ever. The red headed man with a man bun working the bar had such an attitude right off the bat. He gave us dirty looks and stared at us and didn't wanna help us. When my husband walked up to the bar to order drinks for me and a friend, he scoffed and rolled his eyes. We wanted mango margaritas. My husband asked him "are you alright?!" cuz he had the crappiest attitude and was so rude and he said he was fine. There was also a customer behind my husband who was shocked at how that red headed man bun guy acted (we were the only brown people in the bar so not sure if that had anything to do with it)... It was our friends first time there and they will never go back due to the crappy service we got from this man... he was also rude to another gentleman who wanted to order food for himself and his child. I also watched him blow his nose and toss the tissue and grab boxed to go food without washing his hands! I was so disgusted. Food was okay, we all order sandwiches which took forever to receive. Will not be returning because of the poor service we received from him. Hope management or someone talks to him and makes sure he straightens out his attitude because several customers did not seem happy with how he treated them from what we saw when we watched him, us included! read more

We love coming here for the beautiful view and pretty good food. The servers are super friendly and helpful even when they are busy. read more

Draft - Sunset view - American Near Me - San Diego, California

Good view, touristy place. C- service, food OK. Prices are high for what you get but that's to be expected in a tourist spot. Overall, it's the place you could take out of town guests but not a place locals where us would hang regularly. There are way better options. read more

The BEST buttermilk pancakes we've ever tasted!! In town for a conference and ran across this place walking along the boardwalk. The service was top notch, beautiful view, and delicious food and drinks. Highly recommend! read more

It was fine. I had the blue burger. Good beer selection. Nothing stood out. Service was okay considering it was pretty empty. We had a party of 8 and all of it was fine but not worth more than 3 stars. read more

I'm the dumb b*tch that ordered a cocktail from a place called "draft" and was disappointed. Get beer here. This spot is right off the boardwalk. I assume by the same company as the sushi restaurant upstairs since they had the same cocktail menu. I've been twice. The first time I grabbed a beer and an appetizer. I don't remember what I ate - it must not have been very memorable in a good or bad way. My most recent visit was while waiting for a table at a different spot and I just got the spicy watermelon margarita. I'd be shocked if it wasn't just a store bought mix with spicy tequila. Nothing craft or made in house. It just tasted like a watermelon version of that strawberry margarita mixer you can find just about anywhere. I love spicy cocktails- but this wasn't it. *Don't*get*a*cocktail*at*a*beer*spot* - I'm dumb and rounding up on my review because I should have known better. It's not a place I've ever gone out of my way to visit, but it's been a solid option when I'm in the area. read more

Sit outside on the patio, get a meal and a show. Great people watching spot. So what should you expect? First, if you don't have a smart phone, memorize the menu before you go because they don't have table menus. You have to scan a bar code to bring up their menu on your phone (from their website). The portions are huge. We over ordered. If I could do it all again, I would have ordered to share. The quality of food was tourist trap. It was fun though. If you want healthy, this isn't your spot. This is a great place to eat if you are just looking for fun while at Belmont Park. read more

On the beach. Tons of beer and bite options. The bartenders are awesome. They have move tvs than people (and thats a good thing). The beers are cold, the whiskey works, this place knows what they are doing. Start here, go upstairs when you get hungry, trust me. Great bar. Did I mention, its on the beach? Literally. read more

3.5 stars. Came here for a late afternoon snack and drinks on a saturday afternoon. Its pretty big, has a restaurant + pub + beach eatery vibe to eat. Would've preferred to be seated close to the ocean, but well. We ordered a margarita and gin and juice and a shared plate of the chorizo tostadas. The margarita was pretty good. I just asked for a simple house margarita, rather than the spicy mango one they have on their cocktail menus. The gin and juice was mind-numbingly sweet. Like really. We ended up adding some of the juice from the smoked and charred lemons that came with the tostadas, to balance out how diabetes-inducing it was. Next time, will stick to a gin and tonic only. The tostadas were delicious. Chorizo was well-made, the toppings were great and the crunch was excellent. Also the lemons were awesome! By themselves. Overall, decent place to come to. If you reserve a table by the entrance, you have beautiful views of the boardwalk and the ocean. Price wise, its moderate - as you would expect at a restaurant on the beach. read more

We got seated right away at this place right on the beach! We were so excited we were seated outside with a perfect view. My Mai Tai was delicious and my boyfriends beer was great! Unfortunately my second drink was AWFUL...it tasted like straight up medicine I think it was called something sunrise. My fish tacos were HUGE and super filling especially for so cheap. My boyfriends burger was pretty good. Service was great and for some reason drinks with certain alcohol was five dollars off--awesome! read more

Waited 30 minutes for a table, not an issue. Once seated, no one came to wait our table. The table next to us was complaining to the hostess that their food never arrived. We got up and left. read more

Came to mission beach after my trip from Dubai to show one of new wife the beach. We got hungry and decided to stop here since it was there at the beach. Ohhh my halal that was the worst decision in my life . Worst then when I married my wife. Bad service and the food is not good at all. The ambiance is nice though. Maybe a good place for a quick drink but other than that I'll just bring my own tiki masala or go somewhere else that's not a tourist trap. Thank you but don't come again. read more

Garbage business with garbage employees and clearly, a worthless, clueless manager. We stopped for lunch and the clueless hostess acted like it was her first day on the job and didn't know what she was doing. I asked if we could sit outside and she was very confused by that question. She then rolled her eyes, grabbed two menus (there were four of us) and led us to a table on the patio. I went back in and grabbed two more menus since the hostess was incapable of counting how many people was in our party. Outside on the patio, there were two other tables with people waiting for service while inside, a server was sitting down at a table with a couple, laughing, having a great time and she was even drinking sips from their beer! I assumed she was off the clock, but nope....ten minutes later, she looked outside and realized she had customers being ignored. She then came out, ignored our table and started to chat with the other tables. We waited for 30 minutes and not a single server approached our table or asked if we had been greeted. Another ten minutes went by and we decided 40 minutes was way too long to sit and be ignored. When I walked out, I told the clueless host that she needs to find another job and that the service sucks. We then went upstairs to Canon Ball sushi and had a great time! We were greeted immediately, ordered and had drinks within 15 minutes!!! An hour and a half later, when we walked by that dump Draft place downstairs, two of the couples were still waiting for their food!!!! They had been there before we tried to go and had not yet received their food or their drinks. The only reason that this dump is still in business is because of its location on the boardwalk. From the other reviews I have read, it seems like horrible customer service is what they do best. If they were located anywhere else, they would have shut down long ago! This place sucks, management sucks and the employees are blithering idiots who like getting drunk on the job. read more

We were met immediately by a kind hostess who was able to work with us on getting a table outside to take in the views. Within 5 mins we were sat but left waiting. And waiting. And waiting. Until our server finally took our order. The atmosphere was nice and people were kind to us despite our curious toddler who loves to talk and stare at ppl. I ordered some French toast with a side of bacon and my wife got the chilasquiles with sunny side up eggs. I got French toast but with a giant scoop of butter? It wasn't butter but I don't think it was necessary or at least so much. My wife got a bowl of crushed Chilasquiles with tons and tons of onions and cilantro. The French toast and chilasquiles were NOT good at all. BUT we did get some great wings as appetizers so that saved everything. Drinks? I had a diet soda. Which ran empty a few times and had to wait a little bit for a refill but there were a lot of people so I was understanding. My wife got a Michelada, which was watered down. She gulped it and was asked for a refill but got it about 10 mins later. And again it was watered down. THEN came the bill. 110$! For 3 meals and a couple of drinks. Overall. This is a place to get a beer and have some wings. Not to have a lunch with a family. The food wasn't good. The drinks were watered down. Service was very slow except being seated. The atmosphere is wonderful and they have tons of TVs to watch sports. But... take your friends and have some wings and a beer. Fries were also very good. It's expensive for what we got out of it. read more

Draft - Draft Burger** - American Near Me - San Diego, California

First off I want to say our server, short blonde, served us on 09/17/2021 from hours around 4-6. She gave us excellent service (attentive, fast, and even got our dog a bowl of water). We chose this place first off, because we were looking for a beach front restaurant that was dog friendly which the Draft was. Ask for a table in the patio which faces the beach so you can enjoy great people watching which my wife, dog, and I did. Cannot beat the the view of the boardwalk, beach, and Cali life going on here at Mission Bay. They have a huge selection of draft beers, wines, and solid selection of seltzers. I had an ice cold, creamy Cali Creamin Vanilla cream ale while my wife enjoy a Truly Strawberry lemonade seltzer. We ordered their Buffalo wings with a side of fries. The size of these wings were huge, had just enough Buffalo sauce, and a nice crisp on the outside. Fries were hot and crispy. We enjoyed them with their creamy ranch sauce. The food and drink were a bit pricey, but well worth it as you are paying for the good food, quality service, and the ambiance of being in the heart of the boardwalk. The inside of the Draft is filled with lots of flat screens, is very spacious, and the decor very contemporary read more

We love, love, LOVED this place! It was so fun to be right on the water and we went right when the sun was setting so it was incredibly beautiful! It was fun to sit outside because of that and also because it was really fun people watching! We even had friends who went on vacation to this same area the week right after us and this was the one place we told them they should go eat at and they did and they loved it just as much. So the ambience was what we came for but the food was just as good or better which we were not expecting! It was incredible! I would fly back there in a second just to do that meal again! Ha so it was amazing! The service was good too! Idk if I could say we loved it more! Highly recommend! read more

We came here to celebrate my friend's birthday during their brunch hours. Our waitress, Rachel, was very dull and not helpful when it came to service. I ordered a hot latte and she came back with an iced latte. I said I ordered it hot and she just stared at me. I just told her I would drink a cold one (since it took about 30 minutes to get that one in the first place) and she didn't apologize for the mix up or anything. Then I noticed the cup said "non" on it, and I ordered mine with soy milk. My friend kindly asked her if it was made with nonfat or soy and she said that mine definitely doesn't have dairy in it (i'm lactose intolerant). I am now in so much pain because I don't believe that mine was made with soy. I was really disappointed when she placed my friend's birthday cake at the table with no enthusiasm or care. The severs who brought our food to the table were fantastic, and I wish this waitress could have been like them. The food was good, but the service ruined the experience. read more

There is literally not one single thing special about the food at this place. Fish and chips tastes like it's from a freezer bag. Neither mine or my fiancés food tasted good at all. Tons of other choices around that are amazing. Best thing here is the view. 10/10 do not recommend read more

Draft - Soggiest mushiest batter on the planet - American Near Me - San Diego, California

Brought friends here from out of town and was disappointed with everything overall. Extremely loud drunk people and screaming kids completely engulf the place and just ruin the whole vibe. Food items were basic and very limited. Bathrooms had no paper towels the whole time we were there and there was no hand dryers in there as well. Service was fine but waitress kept trying to push us out with little hints. Got food to go and later found multiple short thick black hairs imbedded in the food that I just ended up throwing out anyway. The only nice thing of that place was the sunset and that's pretty much the only reason to go there cause it's sure not anything else the restaurant can offer. $230.00 of nothing but regret. read more
