    Sandwich
    Dung N.

    I've been here 3 times now! They have a cool self-serve station where you can pour your own beer and there are many different options! The food was better than expected! I tried a cider, but mostly had their food. The burger, fries, pozole, and sandwiches were quite tasty! It's kind of a hidden spot by the train station.

    Unfortunately this is not the norm. I stopped in with friends yesterday for happy hour and ordered the Beria fries and also ordered the Carne Asada fries the guy at the counter who's not normal said oh we don't have Carne asada fries. I paused looked at the happy hour menu that has clearly stated they are a menu item - looked back at him and said fine. I'll take the nachos. We're enjoying - while, the nachos are great I see two other tables get Carne asada fries. very disappointed that a rude new staffer was unable to fulfill what is absolutely on their menu, when I said something at checkout the two regulars knew. Exactly who it was and were very apologetic. I will be back to get the carne asada fries :). This review is for the one employee who derailed my normal experience !

    Hidden Craft is tucked away near the metro station and has a really nice ambiance. The service was good, and the food overall was solid. The burgers were huge and very filling. They do fall apart pretty easily, which is expected given how packed they are, but flavor-wise they were a bit on the mild side, so we ended up asking for ranch and BBQ sauce. The Brussels sprouts were the standout. The sauce and texture were amazing, and I would definitely order them again.

    Next to the Santa Fe Depot. Trendy, but casual, with over 30 self-serve beer taps. There were also a good variety of games to play with, and a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. We ordered craft nachos to start and shared a chicken teriyaki bowl. There were a lot of other dishes that caught our eye, but we were short on time. The staff was friendly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time.

    I come to this place everytime I am in San Diego. This trip we met Othman, he is very kind and provided wonderful customer service. Food: got the smash burger and it was amazing as always. But came back the next day for lunch and the burger was just okay. QA was hit/miss on this trip but still recommend coming here. Double fried sweet potato are amazing!!! Their side salad is delicious, I like the beets! Beer: who doesn't love the self service try your different beer. Bathroom: Key is by the sushi bar area and it is hot/miss for cleanliness.

    Self service beer taps, but they also had a really good red wine and sangria, as well as a Banana Foster cider (that was our dessert). I got the Portobello mushroom burger, which was really really good. You don't even miss the meat. Flavor and texture was perfection. My husband had the birria dip sandwich, which he really enjoyed. The meat was tender and delicious. The food prices are reasonable, but the tap prices were a little high at $1 an ounce. Its really bright and cute inside, and there is an outdoor patio that is clean and nice. Cute spot to try a few things without buying a whole glass of something. Main guy working there was very helpful and pleasant.

    Hospitable staff, delicious food, welcoming vibes! It's a perfect lunch or dinner spot while waiting for your train. Their menu contains a variety of appealing options. The steak frites that I had was juicy and flavorful. Quality food at great prices

    One of the perks of having Jury Duty in Downtown San Diego is the many eateries within a quarter mile radius. Hidden Craft is only a block away from SD Superior Courts located at the Santa Fe Transit depot at One America Plaza. If you're riding the trolley, or have business in DT, stop here for some amazing food and drinks! What's great at this place is the drink "buffet". You get a card which you tap onto the screen and just pour your drink yourself. You only pay for how many ounces you pour. My friend and I both had the Cali trio tacos which paired perfectly with the beer, wine , and ciders they had on tap. The tortillas were definitely house made and the salsa was exquisitely fresh- my favorite part of the meal! The fish taco was crisp, the beef brisket was soft, and the spices on the shrimp was a good balance with the diced bell peppers, celery, and jalapeños. Chill vibes with soft melodies playing in the background...Great service, fresh food, and a vast selection of drinks! They also have sushi, grain bowls, burgers, flatbreads- all of which entice you to visit again and try something new!

    This place is a real gem, there should be more places like this around town. You pay by the ounce for beers, wine ciders and hard alcohol, they have large tulip glasses if you're looking for more than a small taster glass. They had a large selection of beers to choose from, I chose some of their sour beers and cider and made a couple of beer flights. Everything was tasty and wasn't too expensive at the end of the night. The service was very helpful and we were happy to stop in here to check it out.

    What a lovely place. Great service, great food but the winner is you can pour your own beer and pay by the ounce. Pretty cool concept.

    Justin F.

    They had a decent selection of beers, though quite a few were fairly common for a pay by the ounce setup. The self-serve model made it easy to sample what I wanted, and the ability to pour small 1 and 2 oz samples without committing to a full taster was a nice touch. I also appreciated the quality glassware that elevated the overall experience. The ambiance was relaxed and inviting, with a modern, open layout that made it a comfortable place to hang out for a bit. They also offered cocktails, cider, and wine, which my wife really enjoyed. A solid stop with something for everyone. You don't have to worry about service, as you serve yourself.

    Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday in November. The lunch crowd is very busy, and service definitely took a hit. On the service side, the young ladies working that day were totally zoned out. Given the zone out service, the smash burgers were not served hot as they normally are. I don't care for a tepid smash burger. Nonetheless, the burger was tasty. Also, the house side salad was terrific.

    Reservations made by phone a month in advance. I couldn't make it on OpenTable because we were a group of 10, but it did show up on my account since I gave them my phone number. Fish Tacos - 4 stars Brussels Sprouts with Bacon - 3.5 stars. A bit soggy. $320 for lunch for 10 people.

Whether you're rolling in with friends or just grabbing a pint solo, it feels comfortable and easygoing. The beer is seriously impressive. Everything we tried was fresh, balanced, and super drinkable. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. Big bonus points for being organic--it's rare to find a brewery that commits to that and still delivers such bold, well-crafted flavors. Service was friendly and knowledgeable without being pushy. The staff took the time to talk through the different styles and gave great recommendations. Overall, 10/10 experience. Great beer, cool atmosphere, and totally worth crossing the bay. This will definitely be a regular stop anytime I'm in San Diego.

    Rodrigo was awesome and knowledgeable. This brewery is the first USDA Organic brewery in San Diego!…read moreHe provided great recommendations to beers we wouldn't normally try. We also ordered slices of pizza. He overheard us saying we would be sharing one of the slices and he took the liberty to have it cut in half. To top it off, the pizza was just as delicious as the beer (we came back later in the day to get drinks). There's a TV inside and a small fire pit outdoors. Would definitely return.

    A popular spot for craft beer and casual gatherings! I've been to Common Theory several times now…read moreand have always enjoyed my time there. It can get busy so if you have a large party, I'd recommend making a reservation! - PARKING - This lot can get pretty full depending on the time of day, but at least there are adjacent streets where you can also find additional parking. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - You seat yourself and they'll bring out a few physical menus, although they also have QR codes for the taplist if you don't want to go up to the bar. After ordering, our drinks came almost immediately, and we only had to wait 10 minutes for our food. - FOOD - Fish Sandwich ($6.00 during HH): They've got great happy hour deals, including this fish sandwich! We had plans to eat dinner later so we just wanted something to snack on. The fish was crispy and juicy, and the slaw was pretty good too! - OVERALL - I only remember the last time I had food here (probably 2 years ago) it wasn't too impressive, but after trying this new item, I'm definitely open to coming back for more of the menu!

    Tonight we tried Common Theory's $6 before 6pm Happy Hour. It's every day which is awesome…read more Especially for the people who can't make Happy Hour during the week. We tried the Smash Burger with added Fries for additional $4. Buffalo Cauliflower, Three Chicken Wings, Fried Fish Sando and Banana Milk Pudding. Each was $6. Our wine and beer was apart of the $6 Happy Hour. Everything was so delicious, except the Three Chicken Wings. They were Salt n Pepper flavor wings and the Salt left its presence. If it wasn't for it being so salty, they would have been perfect because they were juicy and crispy. Common Theory is pretty huge. Lots of seating inside with different types of seating. They also have a patio for outdoor seating. There is also a Speakeasy which is on our list of places to try. Our waiter was very nice and kept checking in on us which was very good.
