Lots of shops for shopping, food restaurants and outdoor activities for the kids and lots of parking. Had lunch at Baron Long today and went with the soup & salad. It was good and a large portion.

Big lounge, lots of machines, lots of smoke, limited seating area, decent restrooms. I think the…read moreonly thing that irked me about this was how long it could take to get a drink. The bar, and the waitresses seemed constantly overwhelmed. I didn't mind too much simply because the drinks were cheap (5.75 for a jack and coke). But I could tell it bugged some people in my group. Went when a live band was playing, off the cuff, and loved them! Super entertaining. Noticed you could order food in the upper lounge seating area, I think that's pretty neat. We had really great service from an older woman though, I forget her name but she was very easy to talk to, was very helpful and as a group we felt she went above and beyond just being a great server.

The waitress has got to be the flakiest, dumbest person in the world. She typically gets orders wrong or completely forgets them. When asked a question, her face is a blank - no brain activity going on here. Do the smart thing - grab a free soda or coffee near the bingo parlor and take it with you so you can AVOID the waitress. Enjoy the music.

All the bartenders are fast, efficient and friendly. I love sitting at the center bar because I like playing slots while sipping my raspberry love.I also found out that I can order food at the bar which is a convenient plus. The bar opens at 6 a.m. and shuts down at 1:30 a.m. All good vibes at the center bar.

Becky and I stopped at Center Bar for a few beers and to watch the NFL Championship games. We threw some money at the machines too. Elizabeth and Tanya were excellent bartenders! They were friendly and funny. They were busy, but very attentive. They were a lot of fun too! Be aware that Center Bar is located in a smoking section of the casino. Becky and I were able to surround ourselves with non-smokers. Ventilation is pretty damn good, but there is still smoke in the air. Center Bar is doing an excellent job of COVID cleaning and spacing. Every other seat is roped off, they diligently clean between patrons. Beers and drinks are served in one-time use plastic cup.

They were out of steak, I normally order the steak sandwich. I ordered the Chicken Cobb sandwich. My friends ordered the seared ahi salad and the prime rib sandwich specials. The food took awhile to be delivered. My friends orders came out first, mine came out a couple minutes later. The presentation looked great. The tater tots were cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, the chicken and prime rib were overcooked and dry. I'm not sure if I'll go back. I used to enjoy eating here.

There's plenty of free structured parking, which already makes me happy, and valet is there too if you want to keep it simple. I'm not patient enough to wait for valet. The venue is outside/open-air seating, nothing super fancy or over-the-top, but it's clean, well-kept, and nicely laid out. They have general admission (standing) and reserved seating. They also have a VIP section with dedicated amenities. They sell various drinks and a few food items. The venue is part of the Viejas Casino & Resort, so you can easily make a full evening out of it with nearby dining, shopping at the outlet center, or even staying overnight. I would definitely come back for another concert or show.

I wish they had more food choices. The only food outside was a hotdog cart where you could get a hotdog, nachos, or chips. They also had a bar that had two kinds of cocktails or beer or hard seltzer, no wine. I got a peach vodka cocktail for $12 that was pretty good, not overly sweet and not super strong. Good vibes in the crowd too. I don't love that you have to walk through the casino to go in and out, it was so smoky. But I would come here again for a concert.

There's a larger back patio filled with various succulents and bushes, ample seating with plenty of natural shade from trees along with tables with umbrellas. The beers I had were world class.

Places like this are what elevate this industry and I'm glad that I was able to visit. Definitely a destination that anyone should seek out.

The chicken sandwich was burnt and so dry and all falling apart the burger was just a bun, jalapeños and 2 patties . My bf never complains about food and he was saying how bad it was . Don't wana bash their business but also at the same time would love to give feedback . Maybe people come here for the drinks and not the food ? I'm not sure.

Our waiter, Nolan, not Simon... was funny, helpful, and even though they were busy he handled everyone like a champ. Nolan recommended a few options, which we took his advice on and ordered. I had the HOP CLOUD HAZY, very good and my husband had the GOOD TO GO IPA (2) so obviously it was good. The pretzel bites were delicious! We split the Jalapeno popper burger and fries. Very yummy, and a bit spicy but followed it up with my Hazy and it was all good. Highly recommend this place and kudos to Nolan for making it a great experience for us.
