RIP Alibi...rebranded as The Malt House…read more Some well placed refurbishments, additional bar tables, barstools, and moved the jukebox to make room for a new shuffleboard table. ++ Kudos for the remodeled bathrooms...so fresh and so clean clean. Was cash-only before, and now The Malt House accepts card payments. No kitchen or food trucks when we visited = byo*snacks Tried an East County Cooler specialty cocktail. It was light and refreshing. Reminded me of a boozy Squirt without the soda carbonation bubbles. We'll be back again once we figure out Cassie's work schedule ;)

Makes my day a little easier. My girl GC aka Cassie is always hooking it up with extra strong drinks, and if I had a hectic morning and didn't have time to eat, sometimes a bag of Doritos for breakfast. Thank you baby Jesus for looking down upon Santee and blessing our city with this beautiful establishment. Alibi 4 Life

The restaurant was very busy because of Bingo night. I felt like the bartender was having to do too many things at once. I felt bad for him honestly. We sat at the bar so it felt a bit stressful to watch him run around behind the bar. Hope he is able to get some help on a busier night like that night. All in all, I would go back. Nice to know I have a restaurant nearby that has the best potato skins on their happy hour menu.

The last time we dined at Tabu in Santee I tried the Spicy Shrimp Ramen and loved it. This time I…read moredecided to try a different ramen. Tonkotsu Ramen Rich creamy pork broth with thin wavy noodle and pork. Not quite as good as the shrimp but excellent, in its own way. The broth was super rich and creamy. The noodles were plentiful and the pork was tender and juicy. I love the addition of the soft-boiled egg. I just wish they would include both halves. Could've used more pork also. Excellent ramen though. Becky, of course had the Crunchy Roll with a side of Chicken Fried Rice and loved both. As per usual. Our friends very much enjoyed their Bento Box and Chirashi Bowl (assorted fish over sushi rice) which he customized with the fish of his choosing. Four great meals at Tabu.

You're usually…read moreseated almost right away, and the waiter comes in a timely manner to take drink orders, bring food, and check on refills. Sometimes servers can check in a little too often and interrupt conversation, but the staff here does a great job of being attentive without being intrusive. They are fast, intentional, and always friendly. Now for the food, it's delicious. Their specialty rolls never miss. The Sexy Roll will always be my favorite. The edamame and miso soup are also great appetizers to start with. The prices are a bit high, so we tend to come here more for special occasions or date nights, but the quality makes it worth it. Overall it's a great spot with consistent service and really good sushi.

My friends raved about this place so I agreed to go last night to see The Celebrities, a favorite…read moreband of mine. The 'saloon' is large with plenty of seating. The stage is elevated and the dance floor is a good size. Those are the ONLY positives.... The crowd, however, left much to be desired! I did not realize all the tables had been reserved so I set my drink down on a high top and leaned against it while watching the band. OMG, you would have thought I broke the law by the way the ugly tranny biatch attacked me for daring to 'use' her reserved table! This fugly tranny biatch bought along an undersized punk poser employee with a swatch of hair strategically styled so it curved around his face. He eyeballed me like I was going to cause problems. Nope! I have no time for insecure people, especially fugly tranny biatches who are obviously regulars at this redneck 'saloon' in Klantee. Oddly enough, she did not have a problem with my gf sitting at her table and she even engaged in convo with another gf who was sitting next to her table. I encountered the same thing again with another overweight scantily clad fugly biatch when I sat on 'her' stool for a moment. Like WTF is wrong with these insecure biatches? Is it because they know they are fugly and were threatened by a REAL, unassuming, casually dressed woman, minding her own business, there to enjoy the band? For the record, I have to issue with LGBT folks. Good people come in all sizes and shapes. I just happened to stumble across a couple of fugly trannies with chips on their shoulders. I may give this 'saloon' in Klantee another try some day, but not anytime soon.

HOLY SMOKES!! We are so happy to have been brought here for lunch! What an amazing experience!!!…read more Hacienda Casa Blanca made us feel welcomed like we were family. We were a large group so there were a few people rotating in and out to make our lunch special. The restaurant itself is beautiful. There is outdoor dining as well. Everything is well decorated and maintained. I would say very festive! There's live music on Sundays and Wednesdays. I would love to come back on a Wednesday for the Latin Jazz. The food was amazing! We felt like it was authentic and reasonable price point. For the table, they brought out lots of chips and salsa. It was nice and crispy and flavorful. Not spicy, though. I had ordered the Hacienda Carne Asada. It was a flamed broil skirt steak with a cheese enchilada, rice, beans, and guacamole. The beans came inside a fried tortilla bowl. OH MY! It was so good. I am embarrassed to say, I kept on eating and talking even though I was full. Overall, we had a great time! The food was delicious. The service was amazing. Ample parking. The price point was reasonable in this economy. You get plenty of food. Clean bathrooms. Look at their website for live entertainment schedule! I cannot wait to come back soon!

I didn't drink but had to peep at the gorgeous wooden bar. There was a vendor selling food from outside too. It looked like a tasty home cooked meal: rice and stirfry meat and veggies. Fairly large space for all things bar activities. Happy it was located in a strip mall for parking accessible. Will be back for other events soon!

Finally received my food at 10:08 when I went to ask what was going on since several other people ordered after me and left with their food before me. Now I am home with a cold burrito and IT'S NOT THE RIGHT ONE. Ordered Steak & Egg, received Chorizo. To add insult to injury, young boy that needs a belt busted my balls for asking for more than the allowed tiny hot sauce cups. I also asked for carrots and didn't get those either. What happened to Ferny's? Used to love this place for Taco Tuesday. It's all bright inside now since they remodeled. Maybe owner change? At least the Orange Bong is good Major bummer. Wish I would have spent the extra to order via Doordash. At least I could report the errors and recoup a little.
