    Blackened Mahi Taco
    Lauren H.

    Stopped here after just touching down in SD! We had a couple drinks and a late lunch. The tacos were great, they had excellent flavor and were super filling. The guacamole was good but was lacking in flavor - would have loved to see a little more seasoning or focus on the flavor profile. Overall drinks were great and the restaurant is in a great location next to the beach! Would love to swing by for brunch.

    I love duck dive for the vibes, food & staff but I came here with my friend yesterday on a Tuesday and was disappointed. Our server seemed new. I started off with the house margarita that was one of the specials. It was good and strong. My friend really wanted to try the spinach and artichoke dip. It was mid, really runny, not cheesy or flavorful. I wouldn't get it again. We both ordered a single carne asada taco. When our food was brought to us, we were given the carne asada taco plate that comes with 3 tacos each. On Tuesday, tacos are $5 each so that's all we wanted. Our server ended up charging us $5 for each taco and let us keep the rest. I hope when I come next, it's not disappointing again because I love duck dive!

    Baked oysters
    Anna V.

    I always have a great time here. It's not a luxury restaurant, but it doesn't need to be. The casual beach atmosphere is what makes this place special. It's perfect for relaxing with friends, enjoying fresh seafood, and soaking up the Pacific Beach vibe. The baked oysters are hands down my favorite in San Diego--they're the reason I keep coming back. The staff is always friendly, the service is great, and the weekend bottomless mimosas are a fun bonus. If you're looking for a place with delicious food and an easygoing beach atmosphere, this is it.

    This was my first time here. We came for a celebration in a large group. Our server Lauren couldn't have been nicer. We had two tables worth of people, and she consistently checked on us and made sure that our drinks were refilled. Service could not have been better. I will definitely be back.

    Cooked oysters
    Chinyere E.

    I went to The Duck Dive with a friend and we got some appetizers and drinks. I had the oysters and a mock Shirley Temple, and my friend got fries. Everything was really good, and I loved the overall ambiance of the place. It has such a fun, lively vibe. It was definitely pretty crowded, but the bartender made the experience so much better. I cannot remember his name, but he was genuinely one of the nicest people ever. He was super sweet and really helpful when it came to finding a non alcoholic drink option that I would actually enjoy, which I really appreciated. It is a little on the pricier side, but for the atmosphere, service, and overall experience, I would say it is definitely worth it.

    The Bloody Mary was wonderful, the service was great, and our server was awesome. Overall just a really nice chill spot with a good vibe. Would definitely come back.

    I was really happy with the friendly service, the food was great too. We had the fish tacos which were true to San Diego in fabulous quality. It's sit down and nice, invites you to take your time and enjoy. I'd recommend!!

    Chilaquiles Con Salsa Verde Dagwood Sandwich Chorizo Potato Hash
    Gianna S.

    Came here for Galentines Brunch. I got the Dagwood Sandwich (bottom of picture). The sandwich was great. The bread was extremely crispy and buttery. The cheddar cheese melted greatly with the eggs. Avocado was fresh. The potatoes could've used more spices and flavors though. The mimosas we had were soooo good. We got Guava and Orange Juice with our champagne. Overall good time, you always kinda know what you're getting into at Duck Dive. It delivers

    Bottomless mimosas
    Georgina R.

    Duck Dive in PB has become a birthday tradition for many of my friends, especially for weekend brunch and bottomless mimosas and for that reason alone, it's worth it. If you're celebrating with a group, the bottomless option delivers: bottles keep coming, and with a big party, some servers will even drop off two bottles at a time and keep them rotating. That said, the food and customer service could use some improvement. I understand how extremely busy weekends can be, so I went back during the week to see if my opinion would change but unfortunately, the food still took a very long time to arrive. Overall, I'd say yes to the bottomless mimosas, especially for birthdays or group celebrations, but be prepared for slower service. The experience really depends on your server, and while the vibes are fun, consistency in service could definitely be better.

    mango cocktail
    Haley T.

    A perfect spot for great food and bottomless mimosas with your friends! Came here with a party of 4 on a Sunday Food 5/5: I got the dagwood sandwich and if you like garlic bread, this is a must! The flavor was phenomenal and paired well with the side of potatoes. My boyfriend got the eggs benedict and he enjoyed it as well. I really enjoyed how they gave guava juice and orange juice for the mimosas. My mango cocktail was super strong though which unfortunately is just not my cup of tea but the presentation was great. Service and ambiance 4/5: We sat out on the patio which was a pretty cramped space. Service was quick and they had another bottle of champagne ready for us right as we finished one. I overall will be coming back and highly recommend this spot!

    We have been coming here for years, especially for the weekend bottomless mimosas. They have great brunch, fun drinks and we just discovered they have Oysters Rockefeller! Definitely a PB staple. It can get crowded on weekends and evenings with lots of young, college kids, but during the week is a bit quieter.

    Jordyn J.

    Duck dive really lives up to the hype. This sandwich was absolutely fantastic and enough to feed two people. I had an espresso martini (or something along those lines), and really enjoyed it. This place is always busy and it's nice to know that despite the crowd, they still keep up the quality.

The SERVICE 4/5 stars. Our server was truly amazing. She deserved the 5/5. Great recommendations, super genuine and fun, had the best energy and was CONSTANTLY checking in on us; however, a couple of the other workers could have been a little bit more open with communication. We were sitting against the window at the high top wraparound bar tables (feels like an extension of the bar), so the bar is easy to order from and was our go to as soon as we arrived. The bartender took our order, but was standoffish as if we were doing something foreign or a big "no no". Finally the server in charge of our area told us that the bartenders are in charge of the bar and there are other servers for all the other tables/zones. If we were told that from the beginning, we would have made sure to follow the order of the place and order from the correct server. A few of us truly felt bad, but now we know when we go in next time what to expect. Barleymash is always a great time, so we always want to make sure we are doing it right! I truly recommend sitting anywhere else but that window/wall on a packed night, but sometimes you have to deal with what you are lucky enough to get!

You have to be within 7 days of your requested reservation date so as soon as I was closer I set up a reservation through Open Table. They do require a deposit which was fine because it made sure that we had the lanes needed for our party. I actually ended up calling the Tavern and Bowl to see if they had any earlier reservations and they told me if the person who requested an earlier time didn't pay the deposit I'd get the time slot. I am so lucky because these people didn't pay their deposit and we got the time and the lane. Cute thing, you can actually have kids come too, my niece who is 5 got to come along and they had a little device for her so she can push the ball, she ended up beating me. Everyone was so kind and service was so smooth and efficient, we got to bring donuts for our party and my husband and I ordered the carnitas nachos, they were delicious. Seriously such a great time, obviously this is before the Padres season so we lucked out on parking but this is a great place to host birthday parties. Thank you again for letting us have such a great time!

    Captain's Log, Stardate 21483…read more This past Sunday, I charted a course to Nicky Rottens in Coronado, a delightful establishment located at the end of Orange Avenue. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by an uplifting open-air environment, truly a breath of fresh air that felt like stepping onto the observation deck of the USS Enterprise. The amazing views of the bay were nothing short of spectacular, bringing a serene beauty that rivals the finest star systems. Over the years, my wife, her girlfriend, and I have become frequent travelers to this culinary haven, beaming back for nearly 15 years--a testament to its enduring allure. The selection of IPAs and mixed drinks is impressive, catering to even the most discerning palates in the galaxy. The choices are vast enough to satisfy anyone embarking on this flavor exploration, whether you prefer a refreshing drink to toast a successful mission or something bolder, like a phaser on stun! The menu features a delightful array of options, including fresh salads, tantalizing finger foods, and, of course, their famed burgers. My wife's enthusiasm for the offerings has always been infectious, and during this visit, she and her girlfriend were on a culinary adventure of their own, indulging in the flavors that have made Nicky Rottens a local favorite. The burgers are truly out of this world--juicy, flavorful, and expertly crafted to ensure a warp-speed experience with every bite. You'll find that each dish is prepared with precision, as if overseen by a skilled chef with the abilities of a Vulcan and the passion of a true culinary Starfleet officer. In conclusion, Nicky Rottens is a prime destination for anyone seeking a vibrant atmosphere, stunning views, and a solid meal. I can confidently say that if you ever find yourself in Coronado, this establishment is a must-visit. After all, it's just one small step for man, and one giant leap into deliciousness!

Aside from that, they're generic normal tasting tater tots. For the burger, I liked the bun and other ingredients, but thought the savoriness of the meat was just okay.

I don't feel that it fully leans into being a sports bar or dive bar or even as a burger joint. It's just.....a bar. Apparently, it prides itself as being an original coronado spot, but I didn't get that kinda vibe here. I don't know.
