    Love this spot. Casual, $20 cash cover at the door for UFC, cold beer, good food, good service, chill vibe. They have a great menu and the food is fresh and delicious. They have COFFEE!! Restrooms are clean! Outdoor patio, pool tables, lots of tables.

    Stopped by the Classic Q after work since it was nearby. Upon walking in, it seemed like a very typical sports bar. The name seems fitting, very "classic" as it's nothing spectacular nor horrendous. The service is really dependent on the bartender. I was greeted by two people when I visited, a very kind woman and an overly-talkative man. The woman was great, she checked on my partner and I an appropriate amount of times and offered help when needed. On the other hand, the man would keep interrupting conversations between myself and my partner. I appreciate it when people can read the room. Back to a more positive note, the food and drinks were solid. The woman bartender did a great job on making drinks and offered to adjust ours if needed. We also got fries to snack on and the seasoning was solid. It was reminiscent of a Cajun seasoning. Overall, very okay experience. I find myself coming here more out of convenience rather than anything else

    Took my mom here and we were both pleasantly surprised! The food was AMAZING and the drinks were on par. The gentleman bartender was very immersed in his work but still had time to converse with us. Would come back 100%!

    I like to stop in here for a quick drink sometimes. It's close by and convenient for me. It's your typical sports bar and gets the job done. I usually will get a martini or a vodka soda. I have ordered French fries from here and they were pretty good. The service is usually fast and friendly. They have pool tables and lots of tvs. They also have Tesla chargers outside which is convenient.

    Can you smoke cigars in the patio?

    Sorry, there is no cigar smoke in the patio.

    Do you have the Golden Tee golf game? Do you have any nightly beer specials?

    Hi Rob - we do not have the golden tee golf game. Regarding nightly beer specials, we have happy hour specials during the week from 3pm-6pm. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

It was a beautiful day, and we were given our choice of patio dining. Our server, Grace, friendly and efficient, was exceptional at checking on us which doesn't always happen when outdoors. She brought our drinks and meals quickly. One friend ordered sliders which she really enjoyed. She commented that it was the perfect size and tastes that she was looking for. Another friend and I split a steak salad. Sharing a salad off a plate can be an awkward feat, but they offer a split-plate up-charge for avoiding that!

My friend had to go shopping and so we decided to grab a bite to eat at kenwoods. From the outside, the windows are so darkly tinted. I couldn't tell if they were open or not. But upon opening the door there were people scattered throughout the place. So we just walked into the bar area and got a high top table. Server came up to us, asked us for drinks and handed us menus. He came back shortly after we gave him the order. I had a chicken Caesar salad and a space dust double IPA, my friend just had a cup of coffee. The chicken Caesar was really good, and the beer was as expected. The first cup of coffee that he brought to the table was cold so we had to send that back to get a fresh cup. Now it wasn't that busy so I would think that the server would take a moment to check to see that the coffee was warm, but apparently that didn't happen. I got my food and started digging in and the coffee came out a few minutes later. The salad was good, had a nice size chicken breast on top and the dressing was really tasty, not overpowering. I was a little bit stunned at the bill when it came to the table and it was $35 plus dollars, I guess the food and grocery hikes still surprise me, although they shouldn't. The dining experience was okay, it wasn't stellar by any means, but it was adequate, I didn't felt neglected or rushed in any way. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because of the coffee incident. Having been a server in the food industry. That's definitely one of the things you look for. Bottom line, I would probably come back again. But there are many other places in Costa Mesa to try.

    The cheeseburger at Karl Strauss Brewing Company walks into the room like it knows it belongs there…read moreconfident, polished, paired perfectly with a cold house brew. Visually? Strong. Toasted bun, melted cheese draped properly, solid build integrity. Structurally, it's a well composed burger. But here's the honest take. The patty itself felt like it was holding back. The texture was good juicy enough, cooked properly yet the flavor didn't quite punch the way you expect from a brewery burger. It needed more salt, maybe a stronger sear, maybe even a blend with a bit more fat to bring depth. Right now, it tastes safe. And a place known for bold craft beer shouldn't serve a safe burger. The cheese and toppings carried more personality than the beef did. Every bite had balance, but not enough edge. A sharper cheddar, a house-made sauce with some acidity, or even a slightly more aggressive seasoning profile would elevate it from "good" to "I'm coming back for this." That said, it's not a bad burger. It's dependable. It just hasn't stepped fully into its potential. In a brewery setting where flavor is the brand, the cheeseburger should taste like it belongs next to a flagship IPA not like it's auditioning for it. Room for improvement? Definitely. Foundation to build on? Absolutely
