10 out of 10 for me best burger I've ever had so juicy and the Mac and cheese is to die for. They always have great seasonal drinks as a well as a full bar so you can quite literally get whatever you want. Great music and chill vibes not to far off the beach

Fantastic BLT, wonderful salad and The brussel sprouts could have been perfect had they been clocked a bit longer. They were delicious but on the raw and hard to chew side. Regardless, the atmosphere is great, service was perfect and Will definitely return for the food and beer.

Great vibes at this place. Service was really good on Sunday with Nicole being our bartender. Ordered the smash burger and it did not disappoint. Hopefully will be back during happy hour.

My fiance and I were on the way to another establishment for happy hour and saw this place on the way there. We decided to stop by for a drink on our way home. We had the mule with Tito's. Very yummy and great service! We actually decided to go home for a bit and come back for dinner. He ordered the meatballs to start and he really enjoyed that, especially the cheese, he said the cheese was ridiculous. I had the Mac n cheese and he had the chicken sandwich with tots, and oh my...both were so delicious!!!! The chicken was perfectly thin and crispy. **He got the fresno chili mayo with his sandwich instead of the regular mayo it comes with, 10/10 recommend** The mac n cheese was perfectly flavorful and the crisp topping was great. I will say, our server was less attentive once we received our food and they got a little more busy, so someone else had to cash us out, but still a great experience overall and we will be back!

Quick stop for lunch before heading out of the area. We really made the stop because the Costa Mesa location has a better menu than the San clemente one. Loaded TOTS, ceaser salad, Arugula salad, mac & cheese, palomas, coconut shrimp. I'm not of fan of coconut but I'm a fan of this !

First time here, it was a Wednesday, not too crowded, amazing staff and amazing service. Loved the atmosphere, parking lot is small, but still was able to park. Also, great options on the bar back and menu. Didn’t eat here so can’t judge the food. Bathroom is around back, and a little sketchy as a single female, especially after drinking. Just be safe and aware of your surroundings. Ultimately highly recommend and would return.

This is really an awesome place to go to and highly recommend. I sat at the bar and the service was awesome and the staff was really nice. They have a wide selection of drinks and cocktails to choose from. The vibe here is friendly and it’s cool because you can only sit outside because there really is no inside seating here because it’s basically like all open. Bathrooms are located on the backside too so keep that in mind. They closed at midnight here so keep that in mind as well. They do have limited parking here but you can make it work. Food selection was fair here too and other people’s food certainly looked good from what I could see.
