The service from Tori & Sig was excellent, but I recommend that on busy sports days, bring your patience as they are a bit under-staffed. I was surprised to see so many people with their laptops using the WiFi at the pub. This place seems like it caters to a crowd of regulars who work in the area. The outdoor patio looked like it had more seating outside than there was inside, and there was a large TV outside for viewing of sporting events. Although I wasn't impressed by the specials menu posted outside, the regular menu inside had similar prices and better options. I was also very surprised that they were no women in the pub to speak of, so be aware that this is mainly a guy's hangout, if you're planning a night out. Thanks for the experience, O'Brien's!

Excellent tacos! We went on "Taco Tuesday" so we all got the 2 for $9.00 tacos. There are many…read morechoices and we each got different tacos. We each loved our order of carne asada, cochinita pibil, bacon wrapped shrimp, and chile relleno tacos. I had the cochinita pibil and it was divine: orange marinade was perfection, the small black beans were a nice contrast and of course, the homemade tortillas wrap it all in delish corn flavor. The other tacos were said to be cheesy (chile rellano), crispy (shrimp & bacon), and flavorful (all). The two tacos were more than filling and a huge side of rice for only $4 was a great meal!! I love how they varied the taco topping based on the type of taco. Great care in developing full flavored tacos. The design of the restaurant is great and it does create a feeling of neighborhood with humor. The staff were helpful, patient, and more than welcoming. We'll be back, even though parking is a challenge (no fault of the restaurant).

I would say be cautious if you're looking for a more sweet and spicy wing, as these were very habanero forward- still delicious though. They were still smoking hot by the time it got to our table! Food came out fast, the burger was immaculate. Fries were perfectly done too. They've really nailed their ratio of sauce and burger. The prices are a little on the steeper end, but the quality of the burger was worth it. Decor was awesome too! I definitely want to come back to try their other stuff as what we had was already so great, another table nearby had gotten their beef stroganoff and that looked delicious. We'll be back!

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon at 2:30, and it appears we were just in front a busy wave…read more The restaurant has a car theme with a large selection of burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads and a few barbecue items as well, not to mention a nice selection of beers. I ordered the Hell-Cat burger with tots and was not disappointed. The burger was spicy, could have been a bit more, but very well done and cooked. Tots were great, I always opt for the tots when they are on the menu, but because the tots were so good, I'd have t believe the fries will be superb ( need to come back and try them fore sure). My bride ordered the Mac-and-cheese with burnt ends, the dish was amazing. My brother and nephew ordered the Motorcycle Monkey (burger with bacon and maple infused peanut butter) and they loved it. I will have to come back for that one. The service was ok, it was clear that they were not expecting the rush of people that came in at the same time, but the staff was kind and worked hard to make our experience great. This is a unique burger stop with some impressive grill items and you should not underestimate. I'll be back a few more times, there are several menu items that we'd like to try. Thank you for the great food STP, you rock!

There is a nice ocean/bay breeze through the bar and plenty of tables and stools to sit at. TVs for watching sports are always on.

Rocky's Burgers is a casual burger spot located in Pacific Beach, known for its juicy burgers,…read moresimple menu, and convenient location in a busy beachside area with a laid-back, local vibe. Pros: I got the half-pound burger with fries and it was really good overall. The burger was super juicy, well-cooked, and had that classic hearty, satisfying taste you want from a solid burger spot. The portion size was generous, especially with the half-pound patty, and the fries were a great side to round out the meal. The location in Pacific Beach is also a big plus. It's in a great area with lots going on, so it's easy to grab food and walk around afterward or make it part of a beach day. The overall vibe of the spot feels casual and fitting for PB--nothing overly fancy, just good comfort food done right. Cons: Since it's in a busy beach area, parking and crowds can be a bit of a challenge depending on the time you go. It's more of a casual grab-and-go or quick dine-in spot, so don't expect a sit-down restaurant experience with a lot of space or quiet seating. During peak beach hours, it can also get pretty busy. Verdict: Overall, Rocky's Burgers is a great spot in Pacific Beach if you're craving a juicy, satisfying burger in a fun beachside area. The half-pound burger and fries hit the spot, and it's a solid choice for a casual meal before or after hanging out in PB.

It was a generous cut that I had medium rare. It was juicy but the salt wasn't distributed well, with parts of it super salty and the rest ok. It came with broccoli + baked potato and I added all the fixin's which they charge $2 for. All in all a good deal especially in this day and age. Our waitress Ellen from down under was excellent. She was super friendly, attentive, and at my request made sure the manager turned up the volume when the game started. Thanks Ellen for also making my friend feel welcome and well served. It was his first time here. I will for sure be back for the post season games in October to root for my team!

Sadly, it's just not what it used to be…read more Perhaps it's the expansion of this location, perhaps it's the new ownership, or perhaps the buzz has just worn off. Starting with the good, Alex was awesome behind the bar. Although he was training a new associate, he still took great care of us. Even when I had questions, he was quick to respond in a knowledgeable and understanding way. The garlic fries were solid, but I was definitely disappointed to find that they no longer offer their house made ranch. I do not care for their dirty aioli so it was a real bummer not to have that herbaceous ranch to go with the fries. The $15 dollar HH burger was just average. Prepared WELL DONE, the patties became dried out and pretty blah. This was partially on me though as I totally forgot to ask for the burger to be prepared to a medium temp. Although it was a larger burger, $15 on happy hour, along with a $10 order of fries put this meal in the more super premium burger range. I know a place not too far from here, in a more expensive neighborhood, serving up a super premium burger, including fries and an amazing aioli for $17! And that's without HH! Besides the burger being dry and just average, my biggest gripes were the cleanliness and the Clover cash processing fee. Starting with the cleanliness, the new expansion on the north side of the business is just gross. Absolutely everything in there was super dirty, including the large area rug which seemed to be 50 years in without even a spot clean. Aside from other odds and ends, there were also some old movie theater chairs that were so dirty that I can't imagine anyone wanting to sit in them. I know it's a dive bar, but I hope they reevaluate the state of this part of the expansion. And why am I paying a Clover processing fee when I'm not using a credit card. According to Google, Clover strictly prohibits the use of charging the customer the Clover fee for cash transactions. The fact that you pay nearly a 4% fee just for them to use the Clover POS system on a cash transaction is buns. A number of places reduce the cost when you pay with cash, so this baffled me. Thanks to Alex and the chef for getting us through. I've been coming here since it was Doods Foods, so I hope they can get back to the good old days.
