    First time here meet with a friend with family. The food and drinks were good, and the atmosphere was normal for this type of establishment. They have an all day Happy Hour. I would definitely recommend this place.

    Sat on the patio and had a lovely lunch of Brussels sprouts and rib tips. Our dog was happy sitting next to us getting fed French fries. Our server was really nice and got to try some burgeon beer we'd never had before. I like to couple going here with a trip to the Goodwill.

    My parents-in-law visited us here in San Diego (we are located in Santee atm), and they were craving American food. I came across some great reviews for this place, so I thought, why not give it a try? I ordered the bites steak with Pepsi, my husband and mother-in-law had the tacos, and my father-in-law went for the meatballs with marinara. Honestly, it was my first time having a meat dish without salad or soup, but thankfully they served bread, and I finished everything! Sooo worth it but won't try again or I should get salad and/or soup. The food was delicious, and my family loved what they had. I'm thankful because I was the one who found the restaurant. I didn't capture many photos since everyone was so hungry, haha! They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outside for a more intimate setting, inside was more like a bar with louder music and several TVs. The server was very nice too. Definitely worth trying this place!

Welcome new decor changes and a removed partition wall provided additional bar area and table seating. The open concept, also pet & family friendly, lets us see the brewing tanks while providing a neat backdrop and unique space for the Trivia Night host. The front patio space has ample picnic table seats in addition to a front entrance area for pop-up eatery/food truck vendor to sell snackable bites. I have tried different tasty plates like skewers with corn ribs and rice from Ming Ouns to melted cheese with baguette and potatoes from The Raclette Stand. View their website for additional food options from burgers, BBQ, pizza, or tamales at https://darkblue-parrot-879468.hostingersite.com/menu/ We had a fun time at this year's 'Santa at Sunny' event. Holiday vibes, hoppy beer list, and awesome Christmas sweaters. RSVP'd as required so mini-me 2.0 got a neat gift from Sunny Grove Santa. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you to the friendly folks at Sunny Grove Brewing Company and congrats to Scott and Tessa the Besta for keeping the local craft beer scene going strong.

    We visited Sunny Grove Brewing Company for the first time on a recent Sunday…read more We arrived around 11:00 AM. The L-shaped bar was about a quarter full. The space is really great. Inside and out on the patio. They have a very nice and large bar top. The place is quite large with an open and airy feel. Definitely cool brewery vibes. The bathroom was really impressive; huge and spotlessly clean. They have a great selection of beers on tap from light to IPA. Stouts, darks - a beer for everybody. Beer only right now. I enjoyed a very tasty Mexican Lager (La Bamba). Becky begrudgingly enjoyed one as well. She no longer drinks beer. She lost nearly 50 pounds by switching to low carb, low calorie seltzers a few years ago. That was our only disappointment, no seltzers. Not even in cans in the cooler. If we ever return, she'll have to bring her own. Sunny Grove does not have a kitchen, but they do host a different food truck or pop-up nearly every day. Check the calendar on their website for details. sunnygrovebeer.com Definitely a cool spot, just wish they'd add a seltzer even if it is canned.

This was a medical necessity to ensure my safety. Monitoring blood sugar is not something that can reasonably or appropriately be done out in public, and there was no private space offered or available at the bar to accommodate this medical need. Throughout the evening, I had used the same restroom multiple times with female friends without any issue. The only time staff intervened was when my husband was present specifically to help with a medical situation. We are older adults and long-standing, active members of this community. We rarely go out -- this was for a friend's birthday, something we do maybe once a year. We were with a group of friends who are also older adults, all of whom had been there for some time, simply sitting together and minding our own business, not interacting with or disturbing other patrons. Being removed in front of our friends, without any conversation, clarification, or discretion, was deeply embarrassing and upsetting. A simple, private question or a moment of understanding could have avoided this entirely. I hope management uses this as an opportunity to better train staff on handling medical situations with compassion, discretion, and consistency.

The patio itself is super nice, everyone there was friendly right away and the place just felt welcoming. I ordered a Bloody Mary, some wings, and a fish taco and everything hit the spot. The experience overall was awesome. One thing I thought was really cool is during happy hour they spin a wheel and whatever it lands on becomes the promotion for the next 30 minutes, which keeps everyone engaged and makes it fun for the whole crowd. The bartenders were awesome too, super attentive and easy to talk to. Definitely a place I'd come back to again. Five stars all the way around,. If you're ever in Lakeside you should definitely check this place out, and their happy hour is great too. #LakesideCA #HappyHourVibes #FoodieFinds #PatioVibes #WingsAndTacos #LocalSpots

    It had been quite a while since we caught Sunday football at The Oaks Bar & Grill…read more We had friends visiting from out of town and we were meeting a large group of mutual friends. The Oaks proved to be the perfect venue. When we arrived, the group had commandeered several tables in the dining room. Becky and I bellied up the adjacent large horseshoe shaped bar. The TVs were all tuned to various NFL games. A group of Steelers fans were in the dining room next to our group watching and cheering their team on a giant TV. Becky and I wanted to watch the Seahawks. Mike, Director of the Carlton Oaks Country Club, was happy to put it on one of the many TVs for us. We wanted a snack, so we ordered the Potato Skins. Potato halves filled with cheese, bacon bits and chives. They are cut lengthwise in half for easier dipping and eating. Served with ranch and sour cream for dipping. Bottles of Tapatio, Tabasco and Cholula were provided if you wanted to spice it up. They were quite tasty and the perfect portion size. Price was right too! Because of the acoustics, the dining room can get a little loud. If you just want to chill and take in the view, step outside to the patio. Great views of the golf course. Service at the bar was friendly and on point. The large groups in the dining room were being well taken care of as well.
