So me and the hubby decided to take a ride to the border today, we were looking for a spot to have a quick drink and a snack and we stumbled upon Steele 94. As we entered the restaurant a man came up to us and welcomed us in! We thought maybe it was a local only type vibe, but he was actually super welcoming and kind and introduced us to everyone. lo and behold he was the owner. Super rad guy, extremely personable, and passionate. It was truly a pleasure to meet him and be introduced to some of the locals. We ended up sitting at the bar to grab a drink, Shay was our bartender not only was she beautiful, and kind but she also makes the best michelada I've had since living in San Jose. We ordered a sample platter and we headed outside for the patio to play some darts.. the sample platter was amazing. It came with elote bites (which were phenomenal), habanero, wings, onion rings, and flautas. Honestly, it is some of the best bar food I've ever had. The flautas, especially were amazing.They did not skip on presentation or aromatics. The patio had just enough shade and sunlight to be warm but comfortable. We've already decided that we're going to be making a trip back to visit Shay, we spent the better half of our time there talking about motorcycles and we really enjoyed her company. Thank you so much for welcoming us in. You definitely made us feel like we belonged and we can't wait to take a trip back over to visit you all. read more

We were coming here for Taco Tuesday pretty regularly for a few months. Service was always friendly until the regular bartender left the bar/found employment elsewhere. By that time, we had seen inconsistencies our fish tacos. One made it perfect, the other over fried the fish and made it un enjoyable. The saving grace was the green sauce. Sometimes, there was an off flavor with the tortilla chips (which you have to pay for- sigh). The new server never jived well with us. She was okay. But after seeing their multiple closures from the health department, and it seems like they are always closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (and last Sunday, we drove by and saw they were closing around 6, and not at the posted time of 8), it's like why even bother. I can't look past the gamble with the food and the health violations (GROSS). Also, they don't have a good house margarita, just a cheap one. I remember coming here twice for breakfast like 3 years ago and I really liked their breakfast- especially biscuits and gravy. read more

We had passed by this restaurant all the time. So today we stopped and had breakfast. We walked in and was greeted very nice and said have a seat were u like. Then Melissa came over got our drink order. Gave a couple tins to look at the menu. We order food was hot and delicious. We got the weekend porkchop and I ordered pancakes. Then surprisingly the owner Miguel came over and greeted us. Very nice man. I like the ideal he came and said hello. Very great customer service. We will be swing by again. Thanks for a great breakfast and great customer service and great food. Rudy and Paula read more

Came here to try their menudo! They serve menudo daily, which is a major plus! Steele 94 is located in Campo (San Diego county) has live music every Fri and Sat 6:30pm - 9:30pm. Great customer service and such a great vibe! Their hefty portion of menudo ( $18.94) was tasty and they give you plenty of tendon, which happens to be my favorite menudo ingredient. They also include beef pata. (leg). Thankfully, they didn't stuff the menudo with too much hominy. Definitely will return again in the future to try their steak. read more

Totally recommended!! We went there just because it was on our way back from a Winery and we were hungry and what a great surprise it was wonderful!! The best Quesabirrias I have ever had!! And the service was fantastic! read more

Sign says 94 cent tacos. I pull in and then another sign says 94 cent tacos 4-8PM. Here is a beautiful 1 star review for wasting my time.

We drove quite out of our way to try this place after seeing their hype. Inside was dark and the booths were ridiculously high that my 6ft husband's feet dangled also. Received the tri tip sandwhich. There were 3 strips of overcooked meat that had no flavor and looked and tasted as if they were microwaved left overs. The cheese was plastic-y and the roll was straight outta a grocery store bag. Reheatable walmart sandwhiches look and taste better than this mushy microwaved mess read more

This place is dope and recommend you stopping in! Visited a friend in East SD and was looking to for a good breakfast spot before meeting up. Found this place and was stoked I did. The place was pretty laid back and chill and fit my vibe. The bartender and staff were super friendly and helpful! I got the ham and eggs and they were delicious, and great priced! Good spot to chill and grab some food and a drink! Thanks for having me! read more

I recently stopped at Steel 94 in Jamul with a friend to celebrate both of our birthdays. We were immediately seated and welcomed by an extensive menu with various options. We started with chips and salsa and a quesadilla, which was incredible--the cheese pull on the quesadilla was amazing, and the chips and salsa were really good too. You can't go wrong with either one. My friend ordered the nachos, and I went for the Tuesday special $5 tacos, getting one fish and two carne asada. The carne asada tacos were packed with meat and guacamole; they were so stuffed I had to eat the second one with a fork! The fish taco was just as good. To finish, we had churros for dessert, which were phenomenal and comped for our birthdays, making the experience even sweeter. Our waitress, Shirleen, was amazing and really made the meal enjoyable. It was a quick lunch, but we had a great time and would love to come back for more! read more

Pros: fairly empty so quick seating. Cons: small parking area, service is SLOW, coffee is lukewarm and the food is hit and miss. For example, came once and the biscuits and gravy were phenomenal. This time, old biscuits and they were not good at all. No hazelnut creamer, only half and half and French vanilla. Had to wait for utensils. You are eating in a bar. They also charge a 4% credit/debit surcharge that you don't notice until after you hunt down your bill. Bottom line: I might give them another shot a few months down the road. read more

Definitely a neighborhood place. Very relaxed and just overall friendly people, both staff and patrons. Good American bar and grill. Had waffles with sausage and they were good and fluffy. If you're a meat eater and you like bbq sauce then get the cowboy burger, the tri tip added was really good. Heavy on the bbq sauce, so you may ask for it on the side, but definitely done skip it. Get extra napkins. The fries were battered and seasoned, hot and crispy. We try to stop here when we are in the area. read more

The bar itself is a great spot with a good atmosphere, but unfortunately the bartender on duty really brought the experience down. She came across as rude, condescending, and seemed like she didn't want to be there. Her attitude was unwelcoming and negatively affected the overall vibe. I've had a similar experience with her before, so it doesn't seem like a one-time issue. Because of how unpleasant the service was, I won't be coming back. Aside from that, it's a solid place--I'd just hope management addresses the customer service experience behind the bar. read more

Had the menudo today. Hands down the best I have ever had. I don't have a abuela but have lived in San Diego all my life and menudo has got me thru some ruff hangovers. Came with a side of onion oregano dried chill flakes and cilantro. The soup was already spice hot and had a huge pork terlion in the middle . Delicious read more

This place is so close to us and we really went in wanting to like it. Greek Sombrero was a regular hangout back in the day. How was it? It was okay. The food was okay - nothing special. The service was pretty terrible. It is obvious there are the regulars and then the rest of us poor unfortunates who wandered in expecting to be treated the same. Both our table and the one next to us (other first timers) were almost purposely ignored. The table was sticky, the floor was dirty. We were so disappointed - again, we went in REALLY wanting to love it. We won't be back. It was a couple months ago when we were here and I was reminded I forgot to write a review when I read the "restaurants closed this week for health code violations" report. Not really surprised to see Steele 94 on the list. read more

A small gathering of friends met at this restaurant. Had lunch breakfast and other items. Food was good for everyone. Fun atmosphere.

Man ... all this time passing by to gamble and seeing this place with a sign of menudo .how good can it be ? Must try before judging . Authentic delicious food . The staff members are very kind and welcoming. The owner Don Miguel greets his client and is on the floor assisting . Real authentic MEXICAN MENUDO WONT disappoint. Let them know Angel /vicky refer you to this place . read more

Ok so service fair at best, never asked if we needed anythingor if we were happy with the food. Hamburger $16 and really nothing special Ordered medium came well done. Glass of milk.$4.75 Look out for the 4% added for card even if you pay cash it's on there. Of course they'll take it off if you catch it. When did a $8 Hamburger become $16? read more

When we went we weren't aware reservations were necessary because of the popularity of band playing. It was my birthday and I wanted to go there. We did get seats and ordered drinks and food. My husband felt his enchiladas were dry inside and not enough sauce. My friend had the sliders which she said were just one burger cut into smaller parts for the small bun. I had the Santa Maria tri-steak which was tender and juicy but not very flavorful. The best part were the onion rings. They were very good. We would come back and try different food. read more

I have lived in East County my entire life. I am always looking for something 'different', something that stands out from the rest, a hidden gem, if you will. I had heard of Steele 94 many times and heard great things about it. I/ we finally went out to try it. I was in love with the place the second we walked in the door. It had a great feel to it and it was very welcoming. Speaking of welcoming, the owner Miguel greeted us and we were sold! We had breakfast as it is my favorite meal of the day and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed our time there so much, we returned for dinner. Once we got out of the car we were hit by the intoxicating aroma of the outdoor grill. Guess who was manning the grill, that's right- Miguel! We had a tremendous dinner and a great evening. I do believe I have found that hidden gem I have been looking for. We will be back, and very soon! read more

We have been passing by this place on the way home for 3 years now. Most recently the parking lot have been packed every time we drive by. We finally decided to try it last week and so glad we did. We came in and we were warmly greeted and told we could pick any table to sit. As we sat down we met the owner Miguel. He is such a humble sweet man. We talked about their new weekend breakfast menu, and he went out of his way to get us a copy. For dinner he recommended we order the Culichi Shrimp and man that did not disappoint. The sauce was AMAZING!!! I didn't want to waste any that I was scooping it up with chips lol! Tim tried their Cowboy Burger and it was so good. Moist burger and the fries was nice and crispy. We also tried their chips & salsa and shrimp ceviche for apps. It all went well with Jack and coke and their famous $5 margarita. To top it off we had a great server named Terri! She was accommodating and had such a great sense of humor. If you haven't done so, give this place a try. Nice home type vibe. Felt like I was in cheers set where everyone knows my name haha! read more

Came here on a sunday morning, the waiter/host didn't even say hello or goodmorning. Just a "take a seat anywhere" Never mentioned her name, did not look like she wanted to be working. I ordered scrambled eggs with pancakes and sausage. The pancakes were a solid 7. The sausage was cold, and the eggs weren't even real ones, they were powdered eggs which we're disgusting. We didn't get asked once how we're doing, if we needed anything until she came to give us the check. Probably not coming back here again. read more

Their menudo is as good as it gets! I kept driving by this place and had to try it out. I'm sure glad I did because this place was the bomb!

The food was extra greasy and tasteless, the item I ordered which is on the menu has never been served , per server, the coffee was barely warm, we were the only customers and when we walked in I said good morning and she didn't even respond, a little bit of customer service training would go a long ways. The ambiance was ok for a country joint and to top it off their prices definitely do not reflect the quality or quantity of the food. read more

We stay in Jamul often and have wanted to try this place for a while now. Our daughter came to visit so we couldn't wait to bring her too . What a disappointment. I understand staffing issues these days and we are very patient having been in this kind of business in the past. But I don't believe this was the reason for our experience being not up to standard for the kind of restaurant it is. First of all we never knew who our server was. Someone took our drink order, then another took our food order. We were looking so forward to trying their waffles after seeing all the advertisements of them. Everything came looking incredible. The plating was pleasing to the eye . But then it went down hill from there. The waffles were just ok, not fluffy or light as we thought they were going to be. The butter and syrup were in little take away containers. The butter was very cold not melting on the waffles. Too many little throw away packaging just adding to our landfills and trash problem . The home fries were good a little dry. The biscuits and gravy looked amazing but lacked flavor,the biscuits were a little heavy .My husband got the Fried pork chop with country gravy, he liked it ,he just felt it lacked a little flavor as well. The best thing we got was the omelette , that was very good. Our food came one plate at a time , delivered by an older gentleman I believe was trying to help. We had to ask for refills of beverages and condiments. They are pricey for breakfast ,which I would not have minded if the food was good. They do give nice huge portions though . The table next to us had issues as well getting food they didn't order . As of now we will never patronize this place . read more

TL;DR: Good quality food if not a bit pricey per person. Tons of seating, live music during the week and on weekends, and lots of variety for specials. The Good: the quality of food is great, seemed fresh, still hot, and well-made. I had the cowboy burger, my wife had three California burrito, my kids had the kids meals, with others having the enchiladas and shrimp cócteles. Prompt service too. The Bad: in spite of the good quality, my beef on top of the burger was overcooked, making it a tough eat. Outside of that, it's a great place to have a meal in Jamul. read more

Great easy to get to restaurant right on the 94! We had the delicious sweet chili wings. Big and juicy! We have also had the barbecue wings which are also awesome! Just get plenty of napkins! We also had the breakfast burrito that was big enough for two! Very delicious and was packed with eggs and bacon and potatoes! Since it was my birthday we had a couple of draft beers that hit the spot. The ambiance is great since I love sports and big screen tvs all around us. The service was great as our waitress was very friendly and attentive to us! read more

The quality of food was bad. Eggs overcooked, one piece of bacon was raw, the other was burnt. French toast presented beautifully, but was undercooked. Potatoes were horrible.

I don't care about the other reviews..the place is good. The ambience is nice, clean and they try hard keeping it up . The food is good and drinks are good . I'm not coming Lin here expecting some fancy steak house restaurant but I came in here expecting a country style kind of feel. The two girls working were extremely friendly. Meet the owner and seen his full dedication to improving the restaurant! His goal to make it a family oriented restaurant and not a dive bar ! I give him props because I see he's on his way ! I the owner is down to earth and business minded,Mich respect. My food was good both my son and I had absolutely no complaints!! The prices are not cheap but not expensive, this is October 2023 and everything dam thing is expensive! You won't find gas less than 6 bucks on this dam town so don't come here expecting 2 dollar burgers. Portions size were worth the money ! I believe the prices are average compared to other places in the area ! I'll be back again it was chill ! read more
