    I’m not usually one to leave reviews but I ate here last night around 7:30 and I woke up this morning puking my brains out. I had nothing else to eat the previous day so I’m putting 2 and 2 together. Service wasn’t great also. Do not recommend this location.

    I really do not write bad reviews, however the experience last night was just not worth spending money here anymore. We were watching Monday night football with many other patrons and everyone was into the game. Halfway through the third quarter they turn off the sound to the game and start playing the San Diego soccer game REALLY LOUD. Distractingly, over the top loud. No warning, no notice. Everyone around us was disappointed and grumbling to the server and starting to leave. We left also and we had just ordered a tall beer and left it behind as it was too loud to stay. Earlier we had ordered the Parmesean Chicken melt sandwich and a salad. They were delivered without silverware and we had to wait about 10 min to finally recieve something to eat the salad with. The sandwich, which is $15 had barely any chicken on it and was cut in half. One of the halves had no chicken and only sauce and parmesean cheese. The was one of the poorest excuses for a sandwich (especially at that price) we have had in a long time. The server seems slow and unattentive. Mentioned the menu indicates the sandwich comes with a side of marinara and asked for it and she never brought it out. $47 for a very small lame chicken sandwich, salad, two beers and terrible experience.

    I like to drive for UberEATS, to hussle in some extra cash, and more often than any other company of their size they consistently miss items in the order. The missing items is one thing, but their reaction to it is appalling. I will never eat there personally. Here is why When the item is truly unavailable, I ask what replacement to put in. They refuse any replacement, and either ask me to deliver the order with the missing items, or to call Uber and get a refund for the customer. Like, who wants an incomplete order, that is delivered at a costly premium, with a measly side order refund. Just allow me to call the customer and let me give them some other options, regardless if the option selected is slightly more. Own your shortcomings!!!!

    ​I am writing this review on behalf of my wife, who visited this location to redeem her advertised Veterans Day meal and to purchase an additional order for me ( because she didn't want trouble and didn't speak up for herself when she was there) When my wife arrived, she was told she absolutely must dine-in to receive the meal, forcing her to change her plans and stay. Which she was willing to do and chose to dine in. (The advertisement was a bit misleading as it said available for dine in or walk-in. ) ​Issue: Unacceptable Staff Conduct (Waitress Audrey) The service provided by her waitress, Audrey, was unprofessional and made my wife feel unwelcome. Throughout the interaction regarding the free meal, Audrey's demeanor suggested annoyance, as if my wife's use of the promotion was an inconvenience. ​The most shocking moment occurred when my wife asked for to-go boxes because the complimentary meal was a large portion. Audrey rolled her eyes and condescendingly replied, "Well, yeah, it's 10 pieces of wings." She said she wasn't even supposed to give her TOGO boxes. ( How does that even make sense?) This behavior was rude, dismissive, and made my wife, a military veteran, feel spoken down to and judged for receiving a benefit your company publicly offered. How disappointing, that a veteran's appreciation offer, meant to honor service, was tarnished by staff who appear so dissatisfied with their jobs that they treat customers—especially those utilizing a promotional benefit—with contempt. ​ When my wife told me it upset me that she would be treated that way but I guess looking at the most recent reviews, it looks like a ongoing problem with customer service. I guess we will just stick to the Chula Vista or Mission Valley location.
