Came here for breakfast right after a fun surf session at Blackie's. It was right next to the…read moreparking lot, we were hungry, and we thought, why not give it a try? Big bonus... it was already open! The three of us sat at the counter facing the boardwalk, so we could people-watch and enjoy the outside. This place is definitely a local's/dive bar... but not in a bad way! It's fun, has lots of ambience, great service, and really good food. It wasn't overly crowded, so we had no problem finding a spot...but then again, it was only 8:45 a.m. One friend ordered the huevos rancheros and, oh my gosh, that thing was HUGE...and delicious! Another friend ordered the breakfast burrito, which was also big and packed with bacon crumbles and egg. It looked really good, too. I've eaten a LOT of breakfast burritos over the past couple of weeks, though, so I wasn't overly interested. I ordered the corned beef hash with hash browns and two eggs. It was really good! The hash was homemade, so it wasn't overly salty, which I loved. Didn't take pictures of our food... we were hungry! Highly recommend this spot. The portions are big, the food is delicious, our server was so friendly and nice, and we really enjoyed the whole vibe. Definitely feels like a fun local place to grab a good breakfast after a morning surf! ‍

We visited on Saturday, September 26, around 9:05 a.m. Unfortunately, I didn't get our waitress's…read morename. She appeared to be in her early 20s, around 5'3", with light/blondish hair and light-colored eyes. I'm only including the description so management knows who I'm referring to. My brother and I were seated and ordered coffee. Our waitress brought it, but no creamer or spoon. I asked for both; she brought the creamer but never brought the spoon. More importantly, she never came back to take our food order. A couple was seated literally right next to us, and the same waitress took their order, brought their drinks, and continued attending to them while completely overlooking us. I even said "Excuse me" three times as she walked away, and she never acknowledged me. Eventually, we decided to leave. My brother specifically told another woman working there that we wanted to pay for our coffees, and she told us, "It's okay, don't worry about it." As we were walking out, our waitress suddenly came running behind us, apparently thinking we were leaving without paying. The other woman had to tell her it was okay because she had already told us not to pay. I can't say for certain why we were treated differently, but my brother and I are Hispanic, and we both left feeling discriminated against. We couldn't help but notice that the table directly next to us received attentive service while we were repeatedly ignored. Then being chased as we left--after we had offered to pay--only made that feeling worse. I do want to thank the woman who told us not to worry about paying for the coffee. We absolutely intended to pay for it, but I appreciated her kindness and the gesture. I just hope management speaks with our waitress and reminds her that every customer who walks through that door deserves the same level of service and respect. We came in intending to sit down, order breakfast, pay for our meal, and enjoy our morning just like everyone else. Unfortunately, we never even got that opportunity. It's 2026. No one should walk into a restaurant and leave feeling discriminated against. Everyone deserves the same kindness and respect. We ended up going to another restaurant nearby, where we received wonderful service and happily left our waitress a 20% tip. Kindness and respect really do make a difference.

No bad things to say about that along with no bad things to say about the food. I've tried tater tot asada fries, smash burger, traditional wings, fried pickles, and their breakfast burrito.

The food, drinks, TVs, and atmosphere are always great, and we actually drive quite a distance because we enjoy coming here so much. Unfortunately, today was disappointing. The drinks were PERFECT as always, but something has definitely changed with the chili. It used to be one of the best things on the menu, but now it suddenly has tomatoes in it, which completely changed the original flavor. I honestly didn't enjoy it at all and ended up leaving half my plate. I really hope this was just a temporary change and that they bring back the original chili recipe. We love coming here and would hate to see one of our favorite menu items changed for good.

To not make complete waste of a day driving down from the valley, decided to come here and grab one last table available with my family to have lunch and watch the World Cup final. We ordered the house nachos with chicken it was decent they were so busy I honestly don't know how they kept track and got the orders out so you have to take that into consideration. We asked for house salsa and pico de gallo on the side because it's dry without it even though it has some pico on it already. A nice portion and we all enjoyed it with some Dos Equis beers. The next item was the steak fajitas. I like the plate that comes with which is loaded with toppings refried beans and rice plus of course corn tortillas. Some of the parts of the meat were a little bit hard to chew but it wasn't unedible over all the dish was pretty good as well. Our server did a fantastic job considering how swamped she was and it was an absolute Madhouse. They charge 5% service fee on all tabs to offset costs and all that bullshit. There were lots of people standing around inside coming late...I didn't like that because they kept bumping into me and invading my personal space. They should not be allowed inside if no seats are available PERIOD. Either be sat at a table/ bar or get the fuck out. Very chaotic couldn't wait till the game finished of course went to extra time and then some.

We were visiting Newport Beach and checked this place out when we were looking for a spot to watch…read morefootball. We ubered, but there appeared to be plenty of parking in the lot. Bathrooms were clean and nice, however there was only one stall for a very large restaurant. When we arrived the place was (predictably!) PACKED! We were still able to find a couple seats toward the back of the bar, against the rear windows, behind the pool table. A server greeted us soon and was friendly and very nice. The drinks are on the pricier side which is understandable for Newport. We ordered the bagel bites and they were good but sitting in a pool of grease. However, I 10/10 would order again-if I were to return-because they were delish!! When one game ended we were able to move seats to another table in the actual restaurant area. Prior to this our friends who were visiting from out of state saw a couple at the bar cash out and asked them if they were leaving soon. The response they received tainted the entire experience as they were clearly locals and NOT FRIENDLY. This was not the only bad experience with entitled patrons at this spot. For this reason we will absolutely not be going back as we got the message loud and CLEAR from the regulars that we were not welcome and also not to speak to them. Not our kind of vibe and we expected much more from a divey pool bar, but regardless, NOTES, and highly recommend not going here if you are not from Newport. (Even though we are from up the road in LBC).

Then, when we came back, the bouncer said he was just informed that he could not let in people wearing shorts. I did not have a change of clothes, so we had to leave. Luckily, ClassPass refunded us. OC Salsa & Bachata, the company that teaches the lessons, states on their website, "you can wear anything you want to our salsa and bachata classes or events." The Mamba's website does not state anything about a dress code. Last I checked, I went to a place that has the words "sports bar" and not "nightclub" in its name.

Even if someone spent money at your location, the valet is going to charge you extra where there's no signage that says anything about $25?

The place is small but decent, with a side room, pool table, outdoor area, and a fair number of TVs. However, it lacks the flow and atmosphere of a larger sports bar. The food was average: my medium burger arrived overcooked and dry, and the $3 upcharge for sweet potato fries felt steep. The bigger issue was that the TVs froze for about 30+ minutes, leaving us watching the game on our phones. I understand technical problems happen, but the response felt lacking. The manager or owner seemed stressed while trying to fix the issue, but there was little communication or customer recovery. A quick acknowledgment or small gesture would have helped - free beer or fries goes a long way toward recovering after your tech fumble. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but between the average food, TV problems, and limited response, I'd probably choose another place next time.
