- burgersAfter failing to get tickets, I decided to try a restaurant near the stadium, and it turned out to be a great choice! Although the burgers are a bit pricier than other franchises, the sweet potato fries are the real deal – a menu item not even available at Super Duper. The tacos are also delicious.
- foodI only received it after asking an employee about the delay. The food itself was good, scoring a 4 out of 5, but the service aspect was clearly lacking.
- garlic friesGrabbing a drink here is significantly faster and cheaper, and it's also a good place to use the restroom. I particularly enjoy their Vietnamese Chicken Salad, garlic fries, sweet potato fries, and their burgers and sandwiches are quite good. They offer a selection of wines and beers, including the highly sought-after Pliny the Elder.

Frequently criticized
- burgersburgers were quite expensive for how small they were
- burgersoggy falling apart greasy mess of a burger.
- foodFor twenty bucks, I would expect the food to be cooked. The food was very basic, not much different than what you'd get at Burger King.
- chicken sandwichI had the chicken sandwich and garlic fries. The ingredients appeared to be high quality, but there was just no flavor in the chicken, sauce, or bun. I did taste a bit of the curry, but it wasn't complementary and was all I could taste along with the saltiness of the pickled turnips.
- meat" Unfortunately, I've concluded that the burgers must be frozen. They tasted so bland with no texture to the meat. I'm unsure what I'm paying for, but it's definitely no good.
- picklesI asked for pickles got zero
- sauceFor a more standard lager, I'd recommend Modelo. The Avocado Tacos were delicious, but the sauce was a bit spicy, so I recommend eating it with the sauce on the side. The Avocado Tacos are described as: Crispy fried avocado served on a soft blue corn tortilla with a cilantro-lime slaw, cotija cheese, salsa verde, red onion, lime, and chipotle mayonnaise.
- American cheeseplease quit using American cheese! to have such high quality food and then use that gross cheese
- Chili Cheese FriesThe Chili Cheese fries were also not that great.
- Fried bressel sprotusI ordered a Vietnamese Chicken and Fried bressel sprotus on 10/20 for lunch. That same night and the following day I was vomiting and with diarrhea.
If youre craving classic pub fare like burgers and fries, youll likely find something to enjoy, especially with the great variety on offer. Just be mindful that some dishes might lack flavor or be a bit pricey for the quality, so choose wisely.

- serviceI ordered the Lobster BLT, Street Corn, and a Guest Draft beer. While the service was quick and efficient, the prices were surprisingly high for what felt like a glorified fast-casual experience. The Lobster BLT, at a staggering $28.

- delivery processMy husband ordered a cheeseburger. The delivery process was very good. While the fish tacos were awesome, the cheeseburger was raw, leading to my husband spending four days sick and incurring an additional $200 at the ED.
- employeesThe employees were wonderful tho, very friendly
- foodThe batter is crispy, but not too thick. I’ve been to this location at Warrior Way, and the food comes out fast, and there’s usually somewhere to sit even if it seems like there isn’t.
Frequently criticized
- serviceI'm leaving this note for myself to never come here again. The service is super slow; with 15 parties seated, only two had received their food. The food is mediocre at best.
- attitudeextremely disrespectful and discriminatory attitude
- order accuracyMy husband asked for no blue cheese and they put so much on there
- tipThey asked for a tip at the point of sale device but no service was provided during the visit
- waitNot worth the 30 minute wait
- Doordash driverscreaming and yelling to the Doordash driver
- ID checkI waited at the front counter for a few minutes and had to speak up because the lady behind the counter refused to acknowledge my presence. After I spoke up and she grabbed the order, she immediately asked me for ID. I told her it was in my car, which was parked many blocks away due to a lack of parking.
- Uber callhe didn’t feel comfortable with letting me do my job
- acknowledgementAs a colored male, I entered the establishment behind a non-colored male who was immediately served alcohol without being asked for ID. I waited at the front counter for a few minutes and had to speak up because the lady behind the counter refused to acknowledge my presence.

- alcohol service" Unfortunately, that was not the case. As a colored male, I entered the establishment behind a non-colored male who was immediately served alcohol without being asked for ID. I waited at the front counter for a few minutes and had to speak up because the lady behind the counter refused to acknowledge my presence.
Service here seems to be a bit of a mixed bag. You might encounter quick, friendly staff, but be prepared for potential waits or occasional hiccups. If you're in a rush, it might be a gamble, but for a casual visit, it could be perfectly fine.

Disappointing Food, Efficient Service
My partner and I visited for dinner before a concert at Chase Center. It was busy, as expected, but the staff worked efficiently to keep the line moving. The restaurant was packed, making it a challenge to find seating.
I wish restaurants would implement a rule where you couldn't sit at a table until you ordered at the cashier, as I saw many people saving seats while someone waited in line. I recommend ordering your food to go and eating it outside. Unfortunately, the food wasn't great.
The patty was between medium rare and rare, and the cheese was barely melted. I tried to stomach it and got about halfway through the burger before throwing it into the compost bin. The garlic fries were okay and the milkshake was semi-decent.
Hoping it was just a fluke because I'd rather eat before an event at Chase than eat at the venue.

Delicious Burger and Great Vibe
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the Burger Californien, which was delicious and among the best I've eaten in the USA. The Hazy IPA from Fieldwork Brewing was also incredible.
While the meat could have been a bit rarer, everything else was perfect. The sweet potato fries were very good, especially with their special sauce. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful.
The terrace and tables were super clean, and the welcome was very warm. The musical playlist was also top-notch. Frankly, it was perfect.

Great Food, Nice Atmosphere, Minor Cleanliness Issue
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive. The staff was nice, and the food was good. I particularly enjoyed the Baja tacos, the California burger, and the onion rings.
The soft serve ice cream, especially the chocolate flavor, was a delightful treat. The location itself is exceptionally nice, offering a spacious and clean environment. While they could pay a little more attention to wiping down tables, the overall cleanliness was good.
The outdoor eating area is lovely, and the indoor dining space is also spacious.

Mission Bay Favorite: Great Sandwiches & Beer!
This is one of our Mission Bay area go-to places. We ordered our usual favorites: the ahi tuna sandwich and the chicken sandwich. To drink, we enjoyed the Plint the Elder beer, and for a treat, a coffee shake.
We also couldn't resist the onion rings. The food was excellent, and the service and atmosphere were top-notch.
