THE LIQUOR STORE The attached liquor store was an amazing addition with an impressive selection that honestly could make BevMo blush. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and eager to help. I met Chilean aka Chillin and he had many suggestions and nearly everything I was looking for--except my favorite Sandeman ,10-year 20-year or 40-Year Tawny Port or Sandeman White Port. No worries though, because the tequila, whiskey and Gin I wanted that evening were well stocked and easy to find, and well priced. 4/5 stars for no Sandeman Product in the entire store. IAfter reading about 30 5 star reviews of this place wanted to give this location 5 stars ...... so here's goes. Overall, Cheers Deli is well worth the visit for its incredible sandwich variety ,outstanding liquor selection and genuinely welcoming staff.

It tasted good, but it honestly reminded me of something I could easily make at home. There just wasn't much of a wow factor. The sandwich came with pickle spears and your choice of macaroni salad, potato salad, or another deli side. The side portion was fairly small, a couple of bites worth, but the macaroni salad was great. My total came to nearly $15, which felt pretty expensive for a sandwich on sliced bread and a small side. While I really appreciated the friendly service and enjoyed the food, I didn't think it offered enough value for the price. Overall, it was a decent lunch, but not memorable enough to make me want to return.

I recently organized a catering order from I QUE BBQ for our company's luncheon, and it was an absolute success. The food, as always, was nothing short of delicious, leaving our staff raving about every bite. What truly distinguished this experience was the exceptional level of customer service provided by Noemi. From the initial inquiry to the final pickup, she guided me through the process with unwavering patience and professionalism. Noemi's recommendations and willingness to accommodate our preferences made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly endorse I QUE BBQ for all your catering needs! With arguably the best BBQ in San Diego and unparalleled service, you're guaranteed a memorable event that exceeds expectations. Don't hesitate--choose I QUE BBQ and prepare to be stuffed! read more

We had the delightful opportunity to sample I Que BBQ at Taste of San Diego East. What a great surprise! The BBQ sauce was perfect- not to sweet/spice. The chicken was tender and Mac n cheese was vert cheese. They served the best Mac n cheese at this event. We likes that they served their Hugh samples in sealed containers. Perfect for this type of event. We had not heard of them before and will be returning customers. The staff was friendly and had great smiles. My only disappointment was I only sampled one of their cakes and should have sampled the other two they offered. We wish you guess the best and will tell our customers/friends about how great the food is!! read more

I Que Barbecue is a top-rated BBQ spot with delicious food! The restaurant was full of people eating and enjoying their meals, and there were TVs on the walls. I ordered the pulled pork plate with mac & cheese and baked beans on the side. They let me try the baked beans first to make sure I liked them, and they were sweet and tasty. The portion was big, and I couldn't finish it all--I could have shared! I also wanted to try the hot link, so I ordered one, and it was really good too.

Checked out I Que BBQ and overall it was a solid experience. I went with the dry rub ribs and got the sauce on the side -- ribs were on point, super flavorful and cooked right. Honestly, I originally pulled up for the banana pudding and it did not disappoint. Definitely a highlight and worth getting if you go. Only downside for me was the sides. The potato salad just wasn't it -- potatoes were kinda undercooked and not really my style. All in all, good BBQ spot with some standout items, just might be a little selective with the sides next time. read more
