Went here for my sister's birthday and it also happened to be happy hour. My parents were so excited for the half-off apps lol. We ordered almost one of everything, some things twice, and a couple cocktails. More specifically crowd favorites included calamari, truffle mushroom pizza, poke nachos, and ahi sashimi, but everything was good! My sister also received a complimentary birthday dessert. Our server was great! Appreciated her patience with my parents lol. They loved YH so much we came back for HH again the next time I came to visit. Service seems to be consistently great, even during the busy rush of HH.

To start off, coming here I already had low expectations. You guys have to understand there is no…read moremixed food buffets out here in San Diego anymore. Especially now that Barona is gone! This place reminds me of hometown buffet but just a tad bit better. For the amount of money it cost it ain't all that bad!! I enjoyed the Mongolian beef station and the sushi bar for sure and the grilled chicken as well that they make right there in front of you on the grill. I was a little skeptical to try the sushi section at first but glad that they roll it in front of everyone. As far as dessert goes, I only tried the brownies which tasted great and chocolate chip cookies which were average. Don't come here and expect to get Las Vegas type of buffet. You definitely get "good average food" for a great price especially during lunch time hours. A little over $35 for 2 people for lunch for a full buffet. Employees were great to me for the most part!

Yesterday, August 3, 2026, I visited this buffet for the first time after being invited by my…read moreelderly parents and several of their friends, who are all in their late 70s and have spoken highly of this restaurant over the years. We were celebrating my mother's birthday and arrived around 2:29 PM. The restaurant was busy with many senior customers, the buffet offered a wide variety of food, and it seemed like it would be a wonderful afternoon. Unfortunately, our experience took a very upsetting turn. While we were eating, a manager or owner approached our table and, in a loud voice, accused my elderly mother of serving herself lemonade from the beverage machine without paying. My mother calmly explained that she had only filled her cup with water and squeezed fresh lemon slices into it. Instead of quietly resolving the misunderstanding, the manager brought over cups containing lemonade and continued insisting that my mother had taken lemonade from the machine. This created an embarrassing scene in front of our entire table and nearby guests. I respectfully asked if we could step aside and discuss the matter privately, explaining that we were not trying to take anything without paying. I also mentioned that my parents are longtime customers and that this was my first visit. Unfortunately, the conversation remained confrontational, and I left feeling that the situation could have been handled with much more professionalism and compassion. The experience was especially difficult because my parents are elderly. My 87-year-old father became extremely distressed, and what should have been a joyful birthday celebration for my mother turned into an uncomfortable and embarrassing experience for everyone at our table. The buffet offers plenty of food choices, but after being publicly confronted and embarrassed, it's hard to enjoy a meal. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Every customer deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, especially senior citizens. If there is ever a concern, it should be addressed discreetly and professionally rather than through a public accusation. I sincerely hope management reflects on how situations like this are handled in the future so that no other family has to experience what ours did.

We also took home some baked goods. It's so hard to find gluten-free French toast and baked goods that are actually good, and these were UNBELIEVABLE. You would never guess they were gluten-free. The vibe was cute and laid back and the service incredible. Despite the fact that it was very busy, the food came out really quickly. I will absolutely head back down to IB just to come here again. 10/10 recommend.

They also have a young man who plays jazz piano there every Sunday, so the ambiance is pretty awesome along with the nice weather. Sometimes it can get windy so bring a sweater, but otherwise, it's usually a really nice day to hang out with friends and family. I also had a matcha ginger thyme latte with oat milk which was just tasty since ginger is a rare flavor in coffee drinks. I loved it, and it was so good that I took an extra one home. The service is amazing, and on busy days you may have to wait a bit, but it's worth it. If you have any questions about a dish, don't hesitate to ask!

Dang...go here much??? LOL!…read more There is always something new at TBS! I ordered Tio Will's chicken sandwich. Oh man...sooooooooo good! Daveed had his original with bacon but with a salad...trying to keep it healthy! i still had to have my garlic fries. I also love how cold their beer is, and the Tierra Madre never disappoints! Of course, Ms. Cako had to have her puppy patty. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly! Because of the heat, they put us in the private dining room, which we appreciated! I wonder what new delicious burger/sandwich they'll come up with for this month! Whatever it is, looking forward to it!

Tho I didn't get full eating mine wish they were a bit bigger but next time I'll get a double that should fill me up. Burgers are fresh, flavorful & juicy with a good bun & affordable. As for the fries I was a fan of the Salt & Pepper fries, Garlic fries were ok, not enough garlic & it would fall off the fries easily I'll stick to Salt & Pepper fries. Don't forget the beers, they have a good selection of beers which go perfect with the burgers. Customer service was good as well. Very attentive, polite & friendly & a very good vibe inside. It's 's chill during lunch, can get busy on weekend nights tho so come early. Overall it's a very good burger & beer spot & glad they came to Chula Vista because we need more good burger spots in the South-bay. Keep up the good work Balboa South & see you soon :)

I loved the French toast, very flavorful(I think it was a chocolate banana French toast with a cream cheese whip). The chilaquiles were really good, but even their green sauce was pretty spicy.

We were looking…read moreforward to breakfast, especially since my dad loves omelets and was excited to try this place. Instead, we left feeling humiliated. There were four of us, and after we were seated, my dad politely asked a staff member which omelet she would recommend since it was our first time visiting. Without any kindness or explanation, she abruptly set his drink down and said, "I'm not your server," in a harsh, dismissive tone. We had just been seated and had no way of knowing she wasn't our server. A simple, "Your server will be with you shortly," would have been enough. What happened next was even more upsetting. We waited about 25 minutes without anyone taking our order. During that time, we watched other tables around us receive service. The table next to us had their order taken and was already being served food while our table hadn't even been acknowledged. There were multiple employees on the floor, including staff at the front, yet no one came over to help us. Sitting there while everyone around us was being attended to made us feel invisible. It was embarrassing, degrading, and incredibly uncomfortable. My family and I couldn't help but wonder why we were the only table being ignored. As a Hispanic family, we left feeling that we were treated differently because of the color of our skin. I cannot know what was in anyone's mind, but I do know how we were treated, how we were spoken to, and how it made us feel. No family should have to sit in a restaurant wondering whether they're being treated differently because of their ethnicity. This review isn't written out of anger or to get anyone in trouble. I'm sharing our experience because no one should have to leave a restaurant feeling unwelcome, embarrassed, or less worthy of basic respect. We came in excited to enjoy breakfast together. We left without eating, questioning why we had been treated so differently. I sincerely hope management takes the time to reflect on how their staff interacts with every customer, because everyone deserves to feel welcome, valued, and treated with dignity.

What a surprise! I happened to be in the area and I knew I had to try this restaurant out…read more I saw this restaurant on instagram. And it's a little bit of a drive from where I live. But today I happen to be in the area and I told my husband to try this place out. He was so happy! Once you place your order our waitress came with a big plate of sweet bread and you get to pick one! I picked the concha and my husband got the pineapple empanada! We ordered a bit of everything. My husbands go to meal always is chilaquiles. So he ordered the DIVORCIADOS $16.50 Half green and half red with carne asada and beans. We also got the CARNE EN SU JUGO $15.99 And I got the MENUDO ROJO $15.50 Let me start off by saying everything was amazing! It all tasted like it was homemade! Perfectly seasoned, with hand made tortillas. The carne en su jugo was really good! I understand why they are known for that dish. I loved my Menudo! I was craving it and it was perfect. The chilaquiles, the chips weren't soggy, they still had a bite to them. The sauces had so much flavor! My husband and I left with full bellies and a big smile on our faces! All the waitresses and waiters were so nice! Diego was telling us the story of the restaurant. Which was nice to hear. All family owned. Hopefully they open another restaurant closer to us!!! Fingers crossed! I will definitely come back to this restaurant and recommend it to all my family and friends!

I asked for a second cup, hoping it would be different, but it was just as sweet. The jamaica had very little flavor, and the mole chilaquiles were bland and lacked the rich flavor I was expecting. The only highlight of our visit was the waitress. She was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. Sadly, the food was very disappointing, and I don't see myself coming back.

Especially considering it wasn't even busy. We were there on a Sunday for brunch/lunch. Our server also picked up his check without asking any of us if we needed to go boxes. My husband finally had to track him down and ask for them. Our food & cocktails get four stars because everything was fresh and delicious. Our guests had the Steak sandwich, pancakes and Garden salad. My husband had the Green Chilaquiles and I had a Chicken Caesar salad. We also had Bloody Mary's, Mechelada, and a mango mimosa. All were good. My husband and I would rather have restaurants raise their prices then try to say they need to charge a "5% fee," on our check. That being said, we still leave a 20% + gratuity when we dine out. We will try Farmer's Table again because we always give places a second chance.
