Bayside Landing has such a fun, casual neighborhood atmosphere and a menu with a surprising amount…read moreof variety. It has that comfortable local gastropub feel where you can grab a drink, watch a game, share some food, and easily hang out for a while. We started with the crispy pickle fries and also tried the teriyaki plate, fish and chips, pear and Manchego salad, and mac & cheese pizza. The teriyaki plate is their top-selling dish, and after trying it, we could see why. We also learned that even British customers regularly rave about their fish and chips, which feels like a pretty solid endorsement! The pear and Manchego salad was a great lighter contrast to some of the richer dishes, while the mac & cheese pizza was indulgent comfort food and one of the most unique things we tried. The service was another highlight of our visit. The husband-and-wife manager duo were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and personable, and really made us feel taken care of throughout our meal. That kind of hospitality fits the friendly neighborhood atmosphere perfectly. Great food, relaxed ambiance, and genuinely warm service. We would happily come back!

Our waters were never refilled, they rarely checked on us, and the only time they came over seemed to be at the start to ask if we wanted another drink. At one point, they walked away for about 40 minutes and were gossiping inside with other staff while we were left waiting. We eventually had to flag them down ourselves just to ask for a water refill and place our order. The food was okay and the drinks were decent, but the service really took away from the experience for us. The atmosphere looked promising, but unfortunately, we didn't feel welcomed or cared for as guests.

Sandbox Pizza earned a customer for life! We came in right at closing time, and instead of making…read moreus feel rushed or unwelcome, the staff greeted us with a smile and treated us with outstanding hospitality. The team was incredibly friendly, patient, and happy to serve us even though they were getting ready to close for the night. That level of customer service is rare these days and speaks volumes about the people who work there. The pizza was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Great food combined with exceptional service made for a fantastic experience. It's clear that Sandbox Pizza truly cares about its customers. If you're looking for great pizza and even better people, this is the place to go. Thank you to the entire team for turning what could have been an inconvenient late-night stop into such a positive experience. We'll definitely be back!

I would die for their wings and the truffalo sauce, which you can order by the bottle for take home. Forgot to take a picture during my visit but they were piping hot, large wing that were sauced up beautifully. Staff is always friendly and the ambiance is a vibe. A classic tap room for sure. Beers are excellent and they even have ones that are rare to find like Cascade brewery (once the keg is empty it's gone forever, since Cascade closed). They note freshly tapped kegs which is nice too. 100% recommend. In fact I gotta go back for more wings soon.

Decided to stop in SD taproom for one of the World Cup games. The restaurant was pretty full, but…read morewe found two barstools open. I immediately enjoyed the open environment and the bar set up, but the high top tables were scattered seemingly randomly throughout the restaurant, making it very hard to weave your way through if you need to get to the back of the restaurant for any reason or to use the restroom. Our waitress was very friendly and always smiling, which was really refreshing. We ordered two drinks (not pictured), but I had a hard kombucha or cider that was made by the taproom and very delicious. We ordered the chicken wings and spicy tuna melt with sweet potato fries. Both items came out hot and we're satisfying, but you're not going to have an aha culinary moment here. All in all, I would definitely return for the drinks and atmosphere, but would not run back for the food.

I came here with friends after an awesome workout down the street at PB Fitness. Needless to say we…read morewere famished after said workout. The owner/bartender was welcoming and efficient. They offer tasty food from a window towards the back. I believe the gentleman taking the orders was also the owner of the kitchen. He was so patient and kind making suggestions and helping me make my final decision from the variety of tempting dishes from their menu. I opted for the bacon cheeseburger and chicken wings, sharing with a friend. The chicken wings were perfectly fried and crispy not soggy like some places. The buffalo sauce and ranch dressing were yummy. The burger was cooked well and so delicious! The owner was gracious enough to sub out the onion for sautéed onions and it was the perfect addition. Latitude is kind of a hybrid of indoor and outdoor allowing for good people watching and enjoying the breeze from the nearby ocean. They have ciders in a can which is much appreciated for this girl who can't really drink beer. The sports paraphernalia is fun, there are tv's to catch a game and they use wooden clogs to hold the straws which was a funny and cute touch. Check them out!

I'm leaving this review after multiple negative experiences here. Every time we visit, the staff…read morecomes across as consistently rude. Most recently, the bartender deliberately gave me a poor pour and told us to move away from a large table while we were simply looking at the food menu--even though the bar wasn't crowded. This was done in front of other customers, which felt unnecessary and embarrassing. We were also spoken to in a condescending way, being told this is a "shared experience," followed by a suggested tip range of 20-30%, which felt inappropriate given the service. Overall, the service has been disappointing, and the cheesesteaks were equally underwhelming. I would not recommend this place at all.

Came here for the USA world cup game so I expected it to be busy, but I did not expect the worst…read moreservice experience I've ever had. Long story ahead but I really hope management uses it to improve because this just wasn't okay. Short story -- 40ish minutes to get a drink, 2 hours to get the wrong order, server totally ignored us after our 3rd attempt to order the same things. Skip it and go somewhere else. The man at the door was great and had me and my friend seated right away - we shared a table with strangers but that was just the way it was and no problem at all. Server came up and took our orders - couple beers and some burgers and sliders. He was a bit frazzled from how busy it was but that's to be expected, again no big deal. 20 minutes later he checked on everyone at our table. We hadn't received anything, so we reminded him of our orders. Said the kitchen was backed up - fair. Reminded him of the beer orders. 10-15 mins later, a runner came by to drop off beers - got snarky when we said none of them were ours despite us apparently being the right table number. So be it. Wait continued. Another 10-15 later, server comes back to check on us. Told him we still hadn't gotten anything. Reminded him of our orders, he said that he missed the beer order earlier and one of the food orders. We reordered and simplified the order. 3 beers, burger, and sliders. 20 mins later, beers show. Just 2 but whatever, we accepted it. He also brought water (first time bringing them). No food. Kitchen still backed up apparently. Reminded him again of our food orders. 30 mins later, still no food. No other beers. No new orders taken. He actively started ignoring us at this point. Literally talking to the rest of the table but not myself and my friend. Others around us getting food and drinks, even those who came in way after us. 10-15 later, he comes up with the wrong burger order. Rejected it. No word on the other food order. After this point we were very literally ignored the rest of the game. He took orders and shared bills with the rest of the table but not us. Not even a look. Friend went to another server to just ask to pay for the beers after the game. Server had to pass it back to him to get us that. He AGAIN tried to ignore my friend and pass a check to another table and my friend had to call him out. End of the day - no food, 4 beers, and truly the worst service ever. I've never been ignored like that. We didn't complain once during the whole event, we were nice and kindly reminded him of the orders but no stress over delays with the kitchen. The reality was that he just didn't put our stuff in (which he admitted about the food on the 3rd or 4th check in) but no apologies, just no eye contact. It's one thing to be busy, it's another to repeatedly not take an order and then act like nothing was wrong AND ignore patrons with NO apologies. Truly bummed about my experience here and cannot recommend it to anyone else. Maybe hit the bar or get one of the actual waitresses if you can. Otherwise, avoid avoid avoid.

I was surprisingly impressed with the food here. Expecting mediocre bar food on the PB garnet drag,…read moreI was surprised to be presented with some very nicely executed tacos using high quality ingredients and a good sized portion for the price. 2 tacos was plenty filling for me, who came with a pretty big appetite (though I wouldnt call myself a veracious eater). HIGHLY recommend the Chili Verde taco - slow braised pork, crema, oxaca & queso fresco, onion, cilantro, radish, chicharron on a flour tortilla. Typically I stray from flour tortilla items as I personally prefer corn... but I couldnt pass up some slow braised pork! Glad i didnt, as this was definitely my fav between the two I got. Al Pastor - with Avocado-tomatillo salsa, grilled pineapple pico. Ya know, I have never been disappointed by Al Pastor and it usually always is the favorite of my taco selection, but their take on it was just not what I expected nor desired. It was coated in a thick layer of sauce that was insanely too heavy and sweet... Al pastor should shine on its own! Oh well, so it goes. I wouldnt get that again. It was still satisfying, though. Got to have a bite of someone's bacon and shrimp Machete quasadilla before my food arrived, and it was also good. Obviously this extra long quesadilla is a unique offering and a great shated app between several people. I don't find myself in this area much, and you especially don't typically find me in a country environment...but it was enjoyable and they have oodles of bar games all over in the part indoors, part covered patio bar & restaurant. Fun place for a big group.
