    Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Crispy Calamari
    Stefanie P.

    Family in town so we hit Sammy's for happy hour. Great service, friendly waitress, beautiful outdoor table and view. The highlight of our tapas was the crispy Brussels sprouts. Tender baby Brussels sprouts, split and grilled to perfection. Lots of free little leaves charred and so crispy. The walnuts, Romano cheese, and balsamic drizzle complemented them perfectly! 10 out of 10

    VIEWS! VIEWS! VIEWS! From IB pier to Point Loma this is a great place to watch sunset. They also have HH every day, including weekends, that is unbelievable - you have to try the duck tacos!! The pizzas are always great. This location even has a brunch menu that is so great. Recommend: lobster avocado toast or salmon benedict. In short... get here asap because you will be coming again and again!!

    Updated review: We had Sunday brunch and enjoyed the experience immensely. We were promptly seated outside near a large heater, with expansive views of the beach and pier. We ordered the ABC Hash, Smoked Brisket Hash, and a Bacon Benny. Cappuccino, Hammerhead, and a Green Bloody Mary completed the meal. The ABC hash, standing for avocado, pork belly, and cheddar, was a surprisingly light tasting dish with a primary flavor of avocado. It needed more seasoning but improved with hot sauce. Everything was nicely cooked, it was just under seasoned. The smoked brisket hash was outstanding, with rich Smoky flavor and nicely seasoned potatoes. The over easy eggs were cooked perfectly. The thick slice of rosemary sourdough toast was worth the extra $1.50. The star of the show was the bacon benny, with soft poached eggs, four slices of bacon and spears of asparagus under a pile of hollandaise. Accompanied by truffle fried potato balls which were soft and creamy inside, very tasty!! The garlic roasted tomato was the perfect extra touch. We all decided that's what we would get next time, or at least one of the Benny sandwiches anyway. It was a very nice experience, we all left with full bellies and smiles, promising to come back again soon. Highly recommended. Service was a little bit slow, but they told us from the outset that they were short staffed. It wasn't that slow and the service we received was perfect otherwise.

    Jose was great and the food was amazing!!!

    Love this this place from the minute that you walk in you get treated like family. It's keep on forgetting his name but he's like the best waiter. He's got a beard a black hair anyways he's been there since 180. Excellent service just love coming.

    Had a great time! I'm an SD native that came home to visit and found this place by happenstance. Beautiful patio, great food, great service. I recommend the steak and eggs breakfast and tell them if it's your birthday.

    Mimosa flight, bacon, Benny, and brisket Benny and bloody Mary

    Food Service Drinks I had the short rib benny and the mimosa flight OMG! Mi novio had the bacon Benedict and the Bloody Mary. All delicious, all unique and fantastic! service by Alfredo was outstanding This was my second time at Sammy's this week. I am a loyalty customer and an IB local. Everything was fantastic, but I wish Sammy would do better with marketing and demographics on his happy hour alcohol prices. I would guarantee there would be better attendance for this great venue by our locals and our tourist. Just a couple bucks cheaper could make all the difference in the success of this fantastic venue. The other night our server was Michael who was very attentive very professional. Our food that night was amazing as well. Just a few tweaks needed here to make it a full-time success.

    Super chill pizza spot right literally steps away from the water in imperial beach…read more The location alone is a win , you can literally grab a slice and walk straight to the sand. They've got both indoor and outdoor seating, but on a hot day I'd definitely recommend sitting outside because it gets pretty warm inside. Atleast outside on the deck you can get a breeze. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. We tried a mix of pizzas. Kids got classic pepperoni & cheese (NY thin style) I got the mushroom pesto (good, flavorful and light) Hubby got a Hawaiian with jalapeños (deep dish style) Loved that they offer different styles depending on what you're craving. Overall, it's a laid back, spot with good pizza and a great beachside vibe. Would definitely come back. And the ranch is really good.

    The last pizza stop I made was Village Pizzeria on Coronado. I definitely like the crust here more…read more It was nicely crispy after going back into the oven. I got a slice of the buffalo chicken looking one and a slice of the ricotta, marinara, and meatball concoction they call "crime scene." The lady at the counter said that's their best seller and a customer favorite, and I can taste why. Something about the way the marinara is portioned makes it super appetizing. Like, I'll take two bites of mostly ricotta cheese, and it'll almost start to feel cloying. But then I get to the next section of marinara, and it's like my taste buds are refreshed. In contrast, the chicken one was not great. I thought it was drier than it looked, and the chicken was too lean, bland, and overcooked for my preference. But the crust was still good. I may come back, but not for any of the chicken ones.

    If you are into mouth-watering crispy wings, locally brewed beer and beach vibes, then Pizza Port…read morein IB is the place to be. Let's first talk about the location. It is about a block away from the beach, has the that local-scene type of vibe where people show up in their golf carts or on their bikes. The location has both outdoor and indoor seating. And those of you who are like me that is sometimes cold but also likes the outdoor area, they have seats that give you the best of both worlds. The menu is simple but yet it has variety within its options. They offer pizza, wings, appetizers like tater tots, mozzarella sticks, and such. I think they even offer salads but let's be honest, I am there for the wings. There is something about their crispy freshly made wings that makes you just want to devour them. They offer teriyaki, buffalo and bbq wings. The best part? On Wednesdays they have a special where the wings are 75 cents. Actually, I lied . The best part, is the 5 dollar beers they offer when the Padres are playing. Our favorite go to is the Amigo-Lager. The staff is super friendly and they even offer military and teacher discounts. the only downside is that parking is limited but there is plenty of street parking.

    Pizza is delicious but I wish they were a bit better about the toppings! We got the Monterey pizza…read morewhich has mushrooms and artichokes, on a large pizza we counted 6 small shards of artichoke We ordered up at the counter "to-go" and the tall guy at the register conveniently forgot about us... We waited for 35 minutes and finally went up to the counter to ask where our food was...and he told us "they're still working on it." Which I didn't take for an answer and glad I didn't... because I made him double check with the guys in the kitchen. Our pizza was DONE and had been sitting in the warming oven...... That means the guy at the register completely forgot about us.....as we sat and waited for 35 minutes in his direct line of sight....

    Great value and insane portions…read more For $25, I ate this for like two days, and I'm not even talking about the pizza. I ordered pasta. And I eat more than an average person. I guess, this was called a "family combo," but at $25, I just kind of expected I could finish it no problem. Instead, I got a soup, a huge salad, a ton of bread, spaghetti, lasagna, and ravioli. It's definitely not a super classy place. The salad is mostly cheap lettuce, but it does have tomatoes, banana peppers, and whole olives with the seeds. The soup is fine but generic. The marinara base sauce is generic, but the combination is good and the tomato umami is exquisite. The texture of all the pasta is pretty consistent. I was particularly impressed by the size and flavor of the meaty ravioli. They already provided a bunch of bread, but since I ordered this combo, they then provided another large portion of garlic bread. The appetizer bread is soft and warm; I much prefer this to the rock-hard bread at a lot of faux classy American-Italian joints.
