The drinks are very good! The food was soooo delicious! I had been looking for Baja fish tacos and I cannot believe I found them here. I wish I was hungrier be cause I could only eat one taco. Charlie was an amazing server. I will be back when I come back to town. read more

Service has always been good here, but the food is consistently over salted to the point if making my tongue swell. A French Dip sandwich shouldn't have more salt on it than the au just dip. Please stop trying to dehydrate your customers. The food has been near inedible every time that I've been here (3 times). read more

I guess they didn't want our money or our business!! My mom and I decided to stop there for lunch today, it was our first time there and we had looked at their menu ahead of time and it looked pretty good. We got there around 1:30 so it wasn't very busy and we walked in and waited in the front to be seated (as the sign stated). The one and only person we saw working was the bartender, there were no other employees walking around, no servers or waiters in sight. The bartender looked over at us once but never acknowledged us nor did she try to get someone to seat us. We literally stood there for 10+ minutes without a single person greeting us or even acknowledging that we were there! We turned around and walked out and we won't be returning. That is absolutely absurd not to have anyone around to seat customers or at least say "hey I'll be right with you". Definitely a waste of our time! read more

Wanted to try something else for my second ever trip to Junction Bar & Grill. I ordered the Thai chicken salad, someone else had the French dip and Grilled chicken sandwich. Everyone commented that they liked their food. For the Thai chicken salad it lacked crunch.....no fried wonton chips, cucumber and the lettuce needs to be cut smaller (kept getting it on my face because the lettuce was cut large. It's fine I can deal with it but those small additions would make that a real winner. Service is always good. It's a bit loud but it's a sports bar so what do you expect. read more

I came here after a Yelp Elite event for drinks... This is a cool sports bar in Scripps Ranch which is void of places to hang out or watch some sports and have drinks.... Mackenzie was our bartender and she was very friendly and attentive. It seems like they run a lot of different specials for Happy Hour and also daily specials. There were so many I can't remember all of them. I'll definitely be hitting this place for happy hour when baseball season returns. read more

Wide breadth of bar food and drinks on the menu - from wings to pasta, prime rib; beers, wines, specialty shots and cocktails. Happy hour all day and daily specials. Good service. Dog-friendly! Chips and guacamole were ok - kids liked the multicolor chips (red and green for holidays)? Carne asada fries were solid and massive - great to share or eat as a filling entree! Philly cheesesteak - also massive, super satisfying. Chopped finer than I'd like but that's a personal preference texture thing. With onions, peppers, and provolone IS how I like it though! We ended up sharing the cheesesteak and NOT ordering the tacos I'd intended on getting since we already got the massive carne asada fries but they looked good! Glad to know they can serve it on lettuce for a lighter dish since everything else we ordered was like fries, chips, tots, pizza, pasta... def want to try lettuce tacos next time. We ordered a bunch of food off the kids menu for the kiddos including the pepperoni pizza and it was maybe marginally smaller than an adult pizza - would feed couple adults. Friend loves their wings, said the burgers are NOT good (they were here day before as well), and the chopped Italian salad was good! read more

First time here for a quick HH with a coworker. We ordered fried pickles, Brussels sprouts, Junction rib tips and some nachos. I had two old fashioned drinks. Whoever the bartender was that night knew the assignment! Drinks were STRONG.. just how I like them. Normally they use Makers Mark but this not it was made with Bulliet Bourbon. What would I order again, definitely the rib tips and nachos. I would skip on the pickles and Brussels. The rib tips were perfect size and meaty. The bbq sauce was decent. The Nachos are plenty to share and were really good. Customer service was good. It was pretty loud in there so I felt like I was yelling at my friend but that's to be expected at a neighborhood bar. It's walking distance from where I live so I'm pretty sure I will return. I saw a few other things on the menu I want to try. Uber Eats- I ordered the chicken lettuce wraps and an Italian chopped salad. I could have done without all the "crispy" whatever they were in the lettuce wraps. They taste like absolutely nothing. The salad was good. read more

Just visiting from out of town, we found this place during a random online search -- and we're so glad we did! We grabbed seats at the bar, and the bartender was incredibly friendly, upbeat, and attentive. The service was great, and the tater skins were delicious -- a huge portion and definitely worth the price. We'll absolutely be back next time we're in town! read more

Wing Wednesday: get the boneless. Much more meat. The on-the-bone wings were some of the smallest I've seen in a while. Service in the back corner to the right was a little spotty. Best to sit in the main part of the restaurant or the bar so you're more visible. read more

I finally checked out this spot for brunch on the weekend and was pleasantly surprised! They do brunch until 2pm which I love for the weekend. I have gone with a breakfast sandwich and you get to pick the protein for it. I did sausage and it was so good! It is a pretty big sandwich I only ate half and got to save the rest and I got hash browns on the side. The brunch menu actually has a ton of great options to pick from! I love all of the TVs so we can enjoy baseball or any sport that's on tv that day. Service is super quick and I love sitting at the outside bar area on a nice day. read more

Cool spot! Great to hang out and catch a game. Inside and outside seating and great food with plenty of options. Service was good too.

First time dining here after a game of pickleball. They were able to accommodate 24 of us in our own section and provide separate billing. We had a birthday cake the server was willing to tuck away and bring it out when we were ready. Service was great! I ordered the #DoubleDoubleWagyuSliders and was able to switch out the fries for #TaterTots The sliders were so meaty and stacked high with cheese and grilled onions Very tasty I also ordered #FriedPickleChips I would def come back when in the mood for bar and grill grub. Great place to come watch a sports game too. read more

We came in to watch the Men's Basketball Championship without checking to see what gluten free options there were. We found a fun sports bar atmosphere for sure! Our server, Gina, was so patient and checked multiple options! At one point the chef, Luis, came out to make sure we had our questions answered. He was absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond. We were clarifying about the chips and salsa to see if it was a cross contamination issue and found out they are made in house with flour tortillas. As they were going to make some sweet potato fries as one of the GF options, we found out they had cut up some corn tortillas and specially made some corn tortilla chips for my wife! Luis also came back out to check on us a couple more times as well! The food was really good but the service was exceptional! read more

It's nice to have a neighborhood bar that has special deals for every day of the week. I came here for Taco Tuesday with some friends. Tacos were $1 off the regular menu and margaritas were $5 each (huge glass too). I ordered the grilled shrimp and battered fish tacos on corn tortillas. I didn't realize they were topped with sour cream (I don't like sour cream), so I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have had there been no sour cream. I would have appreciated a bit more shredded cabbage. There were only a few thin slices, which I thought was not enough in comparison to the size of the taco. I wasn't a fan of the grated cheddar cheese on top either. Flavor wise, it was good and I especially liked the habanero sauce that gave it a nice kick! It was a nice portion and 2 tacos filled me up. I'll have to come back and try other menu items. This is a sports bar, so I'm sure it's lots of fun to come here when there's a game. read more

Every day of the week they have a special I went in for fish Friday and the fish is amazing that great cocktail bar as well.

Came on a Wednesday evening. Heard about these wings and just had to try. Meh. They were alright. I came for their wing Wednesday which means wings are 99 cents each. There is 6 flavors to choose from - Buffalo, BBQ, Lemon Pepper, Sweet Red Chili, Honey Sriracha, or Garlic Parm In order to have multiple flavors, you have to order at least four. So naturally I ordered 20 and got five flavors. The Sweet Red Chili was my favorite. It had the most sauce and flavor. The Buffalo felt like they tossed it and had it under the heat lamp for a while. No wet wipes are necessary. Also got a Caesar salad which was the star of the show. Not because it was great but because the wings just weren't that good. Even tho I give this a 2 star, I do think it is worth coming back to. There are daily deals and a ton of TVs with sports on in the inside. It was spacious inside and doesn't feel like you're sitting on top of one another. The staff were all really great. And the drinks I had were really well made. I had their key lime martini and their version of a creamsicle mixed drink. Both really tasty. Feels like a good spot to make it your local bar or for Happy Hour after work. I'm interested in trying their Burger and Beer Mondays. I sat on the patio with my dog. So it's a dog friendly spot. There are parking spots available but it's in a plaza with a Starbucks and other businesses so at times it can be crowded. read more

Just stopped in for another visit after a disappointing first try. The food remains good, and a decent value for the price. Someone else mentioned the mozzarella sticks were microwaved grocery store caliber; I would say that's half true. They were fried, but not fantastic. Probably the one thing I'd skip until it's improved. Service was very much improved. Hopefully this will hold true consistently now. Our last visit was during an early Friday evening. This visit was a Saturday at 5PM. We were seated promptly and everything went smoothly. Noise level was better, with a focus on ambient music instead of games blaring. Although there were plenty of screens dedicated to various sports for those who care about such things. Happy to see it becoming a more welcoming place to eat. read more

First time trying this new location. We got there at around 5:30 and the interior seating and bar area was packed. The place is not huge so we had to sit outside. They have a nice patio but it was cold and I didn't see any heaters. It happened to be fish and chips Friday so I had to get that. My husband ordered the meatball appetizer off the $10 section of the Happy Hour menu. The fish and chips were absolutely delicious. The fish was nice and firm with no silver areas. It was crispy and served piping hot. The fries were good too. My husband enjoyed his meatballs. They are home made and huge. If you're hungry, it may not be enough food but he finished my fish and chips too. Our server was nice and there were plenty of tv's inside for watching sports. We will be back to try something else on the menu because everything sounded so good. Parking was a little tight. read more

We arrived 1st for a big party thinking we can order quickly and get out. NOPE ! We ordered but waited. Two tables that came after us and got their food. We asked if order was placed and waitress sed yes. So we waited. Two more tables who came after us started getting their food. We complained to deaf ears! She sed it was a big party, which is why we came early to beat the rush! We asked for a discount due to lateness but again waitress just kept talking and ignored our request. We paid and left no tip. She was not understanding to our concern. Tried to leave comment on TOAST where we got our receipt but the app sed we're too late to comment. The only reason I didn't give it a 1 star is because the food was decent. read more

The weekend brunch menu offers a good variety of breakfast favorites from Ribeye steak and eggs to chicken/waffles. The service here was very friendly and welcoming. They kept our coffee and tea topped off which was very nice. The chicken fried steak plate was very good and satisfying. It was cooked to perfection. We absolutely loved it. The chilaquiles was also good but the meat was just a tad salty but still delicious. We didn't get a cocktail today, but drinks here looked great. We will try some cocktails next time. The restaurant is clean, bright and spacious. We loved the dozen of HD monitors showing every sports event going on. We liked it here and we will be back for more yummy food. read more

Junction is a new bar & grill that has opened in The Hub complex of Scripps Ranch just east of I-15. They have locations in El Cajon and Santee too. The inside was spacious and modern. When I walked in, the staff was busy, and no one was at the hostess stand. There wasn't a sign indicating to please wait to be seated so I took a take-out menu from the stand and sat at an empty high top table. Several minutes later, a waitress came by, apologized, and took my order. Happy hour appetizers were listed along the left edge of one menu page. The appetizer sections were priced at $6, $8, and $10 and were available all day. From the $10 group, I picked the Junction Rib Tips which were smoked rib tips doused with sweet BBQ sauce and served with french fries. Some of the pieces were boneless which was nice. The meat was very tender, and I ended up liking this more than my entree. Prime rib is not typically found at such an establishment, but the menu had two cuts available (Petite - 14 oz, Hearty - 16 oz). Each was served with a choice of soup or salad (my pick) along with a baked potato and seasonal veggies. I chose the smaller cut with a medium rare degree of doneness. When the plate was brought to my table, I noticed the prime rib was not soaked in au jus, and none was provided on the side. The meat was lukewarm and not as tender as I had expected. The prices were reasonable, especially the appetizers. My entree was more miss than hit, but the rib tips were above average quality. The service was okay after the initial awkwardness of not being greeted until after I had sat at a table. I gave my dining experience at Junction a 3.5 star rating. read more

Visiting for a few days and wanted to catch some sports. Tiny but mighty place. Great atmosphere, greeted with a smile and TVs on every wall. Drinks came super fast. And the food... ( chefs kiss) we had the zucchini chips, Philly sandwich, and new shrimp item. Everything was PERFECT! Our server was attentive and friendly, gave great suggestions, was always there when we needed something. Will probably be returning a few times while in town. read more

I have to say this is my first time here, came in was greeted the weight. Staff are very friendly and attentive. The ambience and it looks like scale sports bar with plenty of items to choose from on the menu. However, the reason why I'm reading this too is because I ordered the chicken kebab plate for dinner and by the third bite in I noticed my chicken was raw. Notified the waitress who immediately took it back and replaced it and even though I brought it home, I was scared to eat it so that's why I'm giving it two. If it would've been good, I would probably would've gave it a four stars. read more

Oof, was NOT a fan of this place. Having worked in the industry I try not to be too critical, but wow... It'll get the job done if you're looking for drinks and TV's, but that's about it. Stopped by on a Friday night, around 6pm. It was warm out, and I noticed they had a single door open to their patio. We got inside and after sitting for a bit, I noticed I was sweating because the A/C wasn't on...it's not like we were by the water getting a cool ocean breeze. I literally felt grateful for people coming in and out just to get a breeze. They eventually opened a few more doors to the patio, I assume to get more air inside. Maybe run the A/C until the sun is down if you're trying to save on the utility bill? As for the service, we were seated promptly and our server was attentive. She made multiple trips back to see how we were doing. We started by ordering drinks. They had plenty of beers on tap, wines, and a full bar. No issues with there. Then we ordered our food. After placing our food order, the server made a comment about our food be delivered awkwardly. I didn't think too much about it until our first item, the grilled chicken taco, came out maybe two minutes later. The carne asada taco came out a couple minutes after that. Ten-ish minutes later, our buffalo chicken tenders and patty melt were delivered. Timing of food isn't really an issue for me, but it's worth noting if you're on a date and have to sit semi-awkwardly until your/their food arrives. But if you're just hanging out with friends, I guess it's nice to have food delivered quickly. The food itself was eh. The tacos, again being delivered just a couple minutes after ordering, tasted like they were thrown together from meats and topping are sitting on the kitchen line, ready to go. I'm not sure the meat even touch the grill a second time before being sent to the table. The buffalo chicken tenders were probably my favorite, unfortunately you only get two on top of a mountain of fries. The patty melt tasted the a freeze dried patty, heated up, and thrown between two stiff pieces of bread. I would recommend trying one of their other burgers. In short, go if you live in the area and want to grab drinks, otherwise I'd avoid it if you're looking for a place to get a nice meal. read more
