    Haven't been here in 30 years. While home on a visit we ran up to Pala. On the way back I had to stop in and see if the place had changed. They had a great band playing. Service was a little slow but the people were all friendly. It was a Friday night and the place was full. Loved that they were celebrating 40 years. I used to come here for Karaoke back in the 90's. When I go back home and am in the area, I will stop in again. Thanks for the memories. Visit was 7-28-23

    I was refused service here, because I was wearing this riding vest. This isn't a club cut. The only patch affiliated to an organization, is the VFW Life Member patch. The only "colors" on it are the American flag.

    This place used to be nice and welcoming. Now there is a sign stating "no club patches or club colors" . Bartenders and bouncer have always been nice and provided a great service. I will not be back again.

    Good popcorn and good band. The 2 stars is because I asked for a Modelo and the bartender grabbed someone's water glass from the bar top, rinsed it with water, and then filled it with beer before handing it to me. Not the most sanitary place but what do you expect from Bonsall??

    Used to love coming here with friends on the motorcycles. Not sure what's happened but hope it gets back to the way it used to be.

A local spot with a sports bar vibe. Perfect for a quick bite on the way home. We were seated immediately by the hostess. It was pretty busy for a Sunday evening. Noticed a patio in the back of the building and asked if we could be seated outside. Not a problem. Our server promptly came over and greeted us. She was great. We mentioned it was our first visit to the restaurant. She gave us some suggestions on menu items and they turned out perfect. We enjoyed the AED Eggs to start. Julie had the Driptorch Salad for her entree. Added salmon for protein. I had the Code 3 Burger. The jalapeños added a nice bit of heat to each bite. For dessert, we enjoyed the Rescue 10. A flourless chocolate torte drizzled with raspberry sauce. Had to get it à la mode as well! Overall a great find. Don't let the small entrance fool you. The food and ambiance behind the door will keep you coming back for more! Keep on Yelp'n!

The Cobb salad was excellent, and the dressings were top-notch. Our server was quite pleasant and attentive. All of our service was quick and spot on.

You get one free bread basket (of 6 pieces) and some olive oil with balsamic vinegar. I found it interesting that they charged $2.50 for every bread basket after, but ultimately I didn't ask for more. The staff was nice and friendly and checked on us enough. I ordered the pasta of the day, a tortellacci pasta with short rib and cheese covered in a cream demi glaze sauce, and my partner ordered the ravioli al formaggio di capra, a goat cheese and parmesan cheese stuffed ravioli with spinach and tomato cream sauce. Upon arrival, my dish looked quite lackluster. It was about 5 pieces of stuffed pasta covered in a beige sauce and dribbled with squares of short rib. There was a thin film over the sauce, which made me think it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a bit, which would have been okay if the food was good. The taste was underwhelming yet a little too salty. I should have taken a picture of the food, but imagine a hamburger helper beef stroganoff colored pasta sauce--bland and tan. My partner described his dish as something that was once frozen, then reheated, as the pasta felt a little undercooked. He says it was "mid" but "not as bad as Olive Garden". Overall, this place seems nice for a few drinks and maybe some apps. It's possible that we ordered their weakest dishes, but I fear I will not be returning to find out.

It took her a long time to come back out to tell us that the muscles were in a sealed bag in the refrigerator. Who knows how long in the refrigerator? My friend got food poisoning from it. Kept throwing up and slept for the rest of the day. Still felt woozy the next morning. We called the restaurant and the gal took our name and number down and said the manager will call us. To this date we have not received a call. I guess it's time to call the San Diego Health Department? The pizza was good but too expensive!

It's really cool. And cozy. We sat at a high-top table away from the bar. We usually sit at bars, but that's ok. Got there late. TV's are everywhere. Not a problem finding a tv with our game on it. Our server was perfection. I think her name was Kelly but can't swear to it. Very attentive and very nice. Good looking, woman, too. The food was good. I ordered the wings. I don't like wing drumettes, especially the really large ones. I prefer the wing tips. Wing drumettes are supposed to be small. The whole idea is that you eat many of them like you would a snack or appetizer, not one or two really big ones where you get full, like a KFC wing. But the wing tips were normal sized. And they were flavored well and cooked properly. We also ordered the nachos. While I appreciate the thought, no thanks. Sports bar nachos should be sports-ish. I mean, melted cheddar or nacho cheese smothering yellow corn chips and chili or ground beef, and beans and jalapenos. The nachos at Junkyard are boutique, like something women would eat at The Henry or Viggilucci's. The Junkyard has a sort of rough and tough motif, you know, steampunk/biker/mechanic/car enthusiast. The nachos should reflect that theme. Other than that, we will definitely be back. OH!..one more nuance. The back corner tv's are blocked by this huge "Junkyard" sign over the pool table. Hope those tv's weren't the expensive ones. Maybe raise or lower that sign. My view in photo.
