    Have to this place 2 times. Will never come back. 1st visit…read morereal bad service. I arrived and they did hand me a menu. 10 minutes later I had to flag a bartender. They were not even busy but the staff were just talking with each other. I order a beer since I was watching a soccer game. Finished my beer they never came back to offer another one. After waiting a while I decided to leave. 2nd visit. I wanted to give them another try and wanted to see a basketball game. I arrived and this time a server did sat me down and i order a beer and some apps. I asked to see if they can put the basketball game on and they did. Was there for a while this time the service was good and food was okay. With ten minutes for the basketball game to finish they change the channel. I said if they could change it back and they refused. I payed and let them know that I was never coming back. It looked that they did not care. This place is not really busy and by treating customer like this I think it never will. To bad because the restaurant looks nice and there are not very many places in playas to catch a game.

    I really wanted this place to live up to the first good experience We had... So disappointing…read more. Second time we went, we waited 15 minutes to be seated... we asked for a tamarind margarita... no tamarind.. ok. So we proceed to place an order and was told the party before us had order hamburgers and they would not have enough for our order.. So we left. This past week decided to give them another shot... Terrible decision.. Staff has no desire to be there, let alone service you. No A/c or fans !!! Extremely hot.. They weren't letting you seat outside because it was not "ready" but they sat there chatting while we were left inside and no one came to take our drink orders or any order! Very disappointed... Save yourself a headache, trip and money! Take a scenic drive and go the one in Rosarito... Much better service!

    Came down here from Stockton, California to see the Padres game. Me and my friend had a hangover…read morefrom the night before so we decided to look for a brunch or breakfast spot along the Imperial Beach. It was a little cloudy that day but we finally found the place. They had a huge brunch menu. I didn't really have an appetite so I ordered the green pozole with tortilla chips and a side of biscuit and gravy. $10 was a reasonable price for the portion and the soup was very good. Helped out with the hangover! My other friends ordered other breakfast plates and it seems they give a lot for the bucks. Very cozy grill, we were situated near the entrance and we had the view of the beach and the streets. Very clean location! Server was extremely friendly and talented too. She was on roller skates while serving us, now that's dedication! I would recommend this spot!

    Product itself: I ordered the half rack of baby back ribs, the potato chicken soup, upgraded the…read morefries to their garlic Parmesan fries and an avocado bacon burger. To drink, water and a 22oz Pacifico. The burger was good, tasted like it came from the grill and the bacon came extra crispy without even having to ask (I love crispy bacon!). The ribs were underwhelming :( I know it's a sports bar so food is expected to be fast (which it was) but they just lacked any flavor and had very minimal bbq sauce (I asked for extra). Customer service: I was served by Maria P and she was AMAZING! It seemed like she had a full section and was running around every which way and still have the best energy when she was serving us. She is the reason we ordered the soup and she did not fail us! It was very good. She seemed very hard working. Value: The bill total was $55 so overall I would give the value for what we ordered an 8/10. It was a big volume of food which I can appreciate, but the ribs were just underwhelming when it came to flavor. Atmosphere: I can say for atmosphere I give them a 10/10 because it gives entirely sports bar vibes, but clean. You don't feel dirty small town sports bar vibes like some of their competitors in the city and the vibe is very uplifting. Overall experience: I have been going to the IB forum ever since I was a little girl and I have ordered the fish and chips before (usually my go to), the wraps, and salads. Everything has always been decent that's why I'd I could go more detailed than 3 stars I would say 6.7.
