Having a great happy hour/ burger special hour here on a Saturday! Specials on a Saturday are rare, so we came to check this one out and they did not disappoint. Leo took great care of us, we didn't have to wait for a single thing. Food was generous and delicious, came out fresh, fast and hot. Great drinks. Seemed like good teamwork amongst the staff, everyone seemed to be helping each other. The $6 burger is a steal, it is delicious and you almost feel guilty that you only pay 6 bucks. Good vibes, they had the game we wanted to watch on TV right in front of us, and we felt like everyone cared about the customers here. Thumbs up to Garage! read more

How can you beat a six dollar burger and fries for lunch? Not only is it a good deal, but it's also a great burger. I was pretty surprised on how big the burger was too, coming with two patties 8/10. The place is also a fun and quaint bar with cabin or lodge like vibes 7.5/10. Service was great, seems like they work in teams, so someone was always asking if we needed anything 9/10. read more

My friends and I came for the lunch special on a Friday: $6 for burgers and fries! Servers were helpful enough, though they didn't seem to pay much attention to any of the people there for lunch other than to take the initial order, which was fine. The burger and fries were fantastic for $6, would definitely come again. It came out pretty quickly so we made good time on our lunch hour. The restaurant itself was clean and had good bar vibes. read more

Home to the Minnesota Vikings fan during football season. I'm surprised I haven't ate here at this restaurant. My Bestie and I went here before our comedy show and we were not disappointed. There was no wait when we went , I was able to see the ambience of the restaurant. It is so cute when it's stressed up for the Minnesota Viking fans All we ordered was Parmesan truffle fries, and pork belly fried rice and even though it was just a little appetizer we had before our show it was so delicious. We also had some of the cocktails. My favorite is the " young, dumb and broke." That Drink, it is so tasty. This bar is also connected to the shout house, so definitely this is worth coming back again! read more

Stumbled upon this place in Downtown SD for brunch, we were seated right when they opened and they took care of us right away. It's such a cute restaurant, the door is literally a garage so there is an indoor and an outdoor. It has some western vibe to it, they even have an upstairs which I assume they open later in the day. They play some good music too, it was nice to just hang out with some breakfast and dranks while watching the football game. My husband enjoyed it! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was delicious, it was very filling and my husband ordered an omelette. We both enjoyed our food and our drinks, we stayed there for awhile while waiting for our massage appointment. Servers were attentive as well, even though it started to get busy. Highly recommend this place for brunch in downtown SD, hope you enjoy your time as much as we did! read more

Wow, pleasantly surprised how good the food was. We went here to celebrate a friend's birthday and expected typical bar food, but shocked how good it was. The menu is small which makes sense if everything is good. We ordered the tacos sampler and ahi nachos. The tacos were really good and flavorful that we ordered a second serving. The ahi nachos with the edamame paste was also great. Others in our party ordered burgers, steak salad, and wings which all looked very good. As for service, good service overall. Drinks were reasonable good and priced. read more

Girls weekend in SD and we chose the Garage for our Saturday get up and go. Such a fun place! Wait staff was nice, attentive, and welcoming. If you love Bloody Mary's...just get the 32oz. It was perfect! Only thing missing from the accoutrements, was bacon and or pickles. All of our breakfast choices were DELISH! The atmosphere was fun, and they play fun, dance in your seat music. Don't forget your photo opp on your way out. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. We were walking around looking for a place to eat and stumbled upon Garage. The gentleman at the door was super nice and asked us where we wanted to sit and we chose the bar. The bartender waited on us immediately and took our drink orders. We ordered the fries with 3 dipping sauces for an appetizer and knew we were in for a good dinner because they were delicious. When it was time to order dinner. My wife ordered the short ribs and I ordered the French dip sandwich ( those who read my reviews know I'm a French dip snob). Both were DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! The French dip was maybe top 5 which is very difficult to crack my top 5. My wife's short rib was amazing, the only feedback is the carrots needed a little more time. Both bartenders, male and female were outstanding. The door gentlemen was outstanding and the manager was outstanding. If you are in San Diego Gas lamp area stop here, you won't be sorry. read more

We stopped at Garage Kitchen + Bar for our Wednesday pre-Padres game lunch. We'd heard about the "Crazy Bob's Burger" deal. A burger and fries for six bucks! Served only twice per day between 11:00AM-noon and 3:00PM-4:00PM. It is a screaming deal! A juicy burger topped with white cheddar cheese, LTO, pickles and Thousand Island dressing all in a fantastic brioche. A very generous helping of hot out of the fryer fries, perfectly cooked and salted. Even a pickle spear on the side! Deb was our bartender, and she was outstanding! Super friendly, super cute and attentive. Four of us started at the bar, but decided a 4-top would be better. Deb happily helped us move to the table. We would absolutely return. read more

If I could do 100 stars I would. Genuinely the best food I've ever had in my entire life. Order the steak with your mac and cheese you won't regret it. The staff is also super sweet and helpful. I've literally never written a review in my life but I was so moved to do so. read more

Came here on a Sunday after I found out this was also a Vikings fans bar. Their season isn't going well so there wasn't much of a crowd but I still wanted to see myself. There is an upper deck with a big screen to show games so very spacious spot. Not sure if it's every touchdown but they give the Vikings blood shot each time for free. I got their crazy burger deal and oh man! What a great deal and meal! Would definitely go back just for that!! This spot shares same bathrooms as Shout House which is right next to this spot. read more

Disappointed. I will preface this by saying I have extremely high expectations. Eddie V's sets the bar very high. Made brunch reservations for 11am. Arrived shortly before and they weren't ready. The host seated two tables before us who didn't appear to have reservations, and she couldn't have been less friendly. Could not even muster a smile. It amazes me when people have customer-facing jobs who don't appear to like customers. Our server on the other hand was super friendly, but overworked as she appeared to be the only server despite a full restaurant. My French toast was undercooked, and the bacon was cold. My husband's burger was outstanding. He had a big ass Bloody Mary that was expensive but barely had any booze in it. There are a lot of places to choose from in the Gaslamp District, I wouldn't choose this one. read more

5/11/2025 - Garage Kitchen + Bar - Gaslamp Edition Parking? Forget about it. It's Gaslamp--park like a local and emotionally detach from your car for a few hours. Once you survive that urban jungle, Garage Kitchen & Bar makes it worth the trauma. They were going through a theme glow-up, so the vibe was a little "Pinterest mood board meets identity crisis"--but honestly, we were into it. It's like the bar was trying on different personalities and we were here to cheer it on. The bartender was a gem and whipped up a mystery cucumber cocktail that was so refreshing, it had us flirting with sobriety (but only for a second). We brainstormed names like "Cool Runnings," "Spa Water with a Kick," and "Cuke Me Up, Scotty"... nothing stuck, but the buzz did. The chicken & waffles? Golden. Crispy. Sweet and savory perfection. Like brunch and soul food had a delicious little love child. The pork belly hash was hearty and dense so not for the faint of heart. And don't you dare leave without trying the cereal shot flight--nostalgia in a shot glass, with just enough booze to make your inner child feel scandalous. 10/10 would return... if I can parallel park without having a breakdown. read more

Heard about this place and wanted to try it out. It's located in the Gaslamp district and is very family friendly. They have happy hour 3pm-6pm everyday. That included 51% off all drinks and $3 off all apps. I loved the ahi tuna poke nachos! They were delicious and will definitely get these again. There wasn't much of a wait and they got us seated within 10 minutes during happy hour. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a more casual vibe! read more

Happy hour on a weekend in Gaslamp SD? Yes! On top of that $7 for Bob's burger with fries. Burger was delicious! The pickle was crunchy too. The fries could have been fresher. We also got the coconut shrimp and they were pretty pricey for the quantity and taste. I wouldn't get it again. Service was great! Did wish they served milkshakes. read more

Stopped by on a weekend to check out their specials, which is always a nice surprise. The atmosphere was lively and comfortable, and it's a good spot to hang out for a game. The food came out pretty quickly and was fresh, though a couple of items felt a bit average compared to expectations. Drinks were decent, but nothing particularly memorable. Service was okay overall not bad, but there were moments where it felt a little less attentive than it could have been. Still, the staff seemed to be working together and keeping things moving. Overall, it's a solid place with a good vibe, just with a bit of room for improvement. read more

We got here 5 minutes before they opened on a Saturday morning and there was 3 parties ahead of us. Once inside, we quickly ordered. We had the cereal shots which were so yummy but definitely felt it later. The espresso was ok but not something I'd recommend or get again. I had the chicken wrap which was so juicy and delicious. A friend had the bottomless mimosas but a couple of glasses in, they ran out of OJ. Service was good and fast at first but then you could tell she was busy. With tables inside and outside it was hard to flag her down for another mimosa and her attitude started to show (at another table) This place is definitely a must try when in town! Music is loud and gets you in the mood to have a good time! read more

Trash racist place asked every table upstairs if they need another drink or anything except our table! Didn't even want to bring out check. The Ethiopian girl from the front had to come and close is out. Overall food was trash and the worst "michelada " I've ever had. Sunday Nov 2nd 11am upstairs. The 2 girls serving one white the other some what Asian were awful. I am middle Eastern my friend is white/Philippino. They intentionally ignored us, and when the white girl came to me grabbed the plates of our finished food didn't even ask if we wanted anything else but asked every other table. read more

Sat at the bar and had a few beers a margarita and a Bloody Mary while watching the game. Service was amazing, they were always checking on us. Cool vibes here, we enjoyed it so much we came back the same day but in the evening and sat at a table and had some wings and more beer, jeez I sound like I got a problem. Anyways it was all very good you should check it out for yourself! read more

Decent food. Good happy hour. Kicking playlist. Really bad service. Server was more interested is chatting with friends and coworkers than getting our drinks. She was fast on getting our check tho. read more

Great happy hour deals -- $9 beers for $4.50 and a $6 burger & fries. But when the bill came, the 25% tip suggestion was based on full menu prices, not the discounted happy hour prices. In 40+ years of happy hours, I've never seen that -- it's deceptive and not fair to customers. read more

Came here after a padres game! Started our night out with cocoa puff shots (so good!!) they had 3 other shot choices made with cereal milk, all sounded fantastic. We got the fry started (came with three sauces), the fries were okay, probably wouldn't get them again. Service was good for a busy night! read more

Have walked by here for years and never gone inside. Decided to try it today. It was freezing inside. The waitress was extremely nice. Everyone I interacted with was. I got a cheeseburger and added avocado. The burger was great! Would have been better if it did not take over a half hour to come out read more

Found this spot by accident while hunting for Happy Hour! Garage Kitchen + Bar has an amazing $6 burger special that is a total win--it was huge, fresh, and came with a ton of fries which had some kind of delicious seasoning on it as well. Their margaritas are also spot on (not too sugary, just enough alcohol). I really loved the vibe, friendly service and the high energy of the restaurant. If you're looking for a great, cheap happy hour option in SD, check this place out! read more

The bar is located right next to the Shout House. We went here for Happy Hour before our party next door. They had a great happy hour with 51% off drinks, excluding some specialty cocktails. Some of the food items were $2-3 off. We ordered a lot of drinks and food. It was good bar food. My favorites were the Ahi nachos and Carne Asada fries. The 5 side chicken wings were a little plain and shrimp tacos were soggy that night. read more

Garage Kitchen and Bar in the Gaslamp district of San Diego. Limited street parking. Private garage parking was under 40 bucks which was ouchie :( and we still had to walk 3 blocks, not happy when inconvenienced. The garage is quiet honestly a sports bar with full bar service, a restaurant with multiple tv screens in a brick walled space with additional seating upstairs, indoor and outdoor. The owner is a Minnesota football Vikings fan and many customers do come here frequently to support the Vikings football team and watch the games. My friend is of Norwegian descent and is a hugh Vikings fan and birds of a feather flick together... lots of Vikings here :) Ironically, it's been since 1992 that the Vikings won at home against the 49ers. Todays game and ultimate Vikings win was a nail biter, exciting and fun. I like to think that Fendi and I being present here were Lucky Charms for the teams win lol The menu offered is Sunday brunch with limited selections. I was disappointed that wings, pizza and pasta were not on this brunch menu. I instructed our waiter to tell the owner, that's what we wanted or we would leave. Evidently the owner and kitchen staff agreed and accommodated my request. Because when watching NFL football, you should be able to eat whatever you want regardless of the time of day, especially wings! Ordered the buffalo wings naked with the dipping sauce on the side. Also tried the wings with asian spices called Beijing wings and they were delectably good. Again, during sports events on tv, the menus should offer popular football foods all day long. Service by the staff was great, our waiters today and from our previous visit were great. Staff were attentive, nice and followed up to make sure we were good. Our table and other tables were cleared immediately. The crowd around me were mostly Vikings fans and they were all loud and vocal. All our positive energy helped the Vikings win. Everyone was feeling good. Go Vikings!! The Garage made it a fun experience. Recommend. read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place while walking around looking for a place to eat. We got there at a good time they had happy hour going on so we ordered the Ahi Nachos and side of fries. Omg the nachos were so good! The serving size was big, enough to feed two people. The food and service were great! Servers kept checking in on us and were very attentive. The vibes were great, music was good and food was amazing! I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to others! read more

Stopped by here for happy hour as they give 51% off drinks and they're not weak drinks either. Really good deal! My friend and I also decided to try their Beijing Style Wings and Ahi Nachos. The wings were weird and all you could taste out of the 5 spices was cinnamon, which fell apart like a churro when you bit into it. It was a very strange texture and flavor. The ahi nachos, on the other hand, were delicious and beautifully presented! It could've used more ahi tuna for all the wonton chips that were provided, but I thoroughly enjoyed everything. The edamame puree at the bottom of the plate was a delicious addition that I had never seen before. This is something I would never get tired of no matter how many times I eat it. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was fun as well. I loved that they had hockey on the tv without me having to ask. Honest, I would be more than happy to come back here and try some of their other foods. read more

This alone has been the best experience I've had during my 4 day SD trip and I knew I had to leave a positive review. The boys and I were trying to find a nice burger place and after being disappointed with WEREWOLF for not having their full menu after 3pm, we went next door to GARAGE Kitchen + bar. They seated us quickly on a Saturday evening. We were greeted with live performer playing the piano at the front. We were seated quickly and our waitress took our order. The burgers came out fresh and I was extremely happy with the juiciness of the meat and flavor combination of the burger. I would definitely come back in the future if I am ever in town! read more
