    NEW Blackened Shrimp & Andouille Sausage Penne to go with
    Lina P.

    Haven't dined here in a while. Great specials and deals. Got this for to-go. Comes in a cute container and actually has a lot of shrimps. Sausage was cut in half to make it seem more plentiful. Actually pretty good for Applebees. Def would come back.

    Tipsy Cupid valentine's day $6 cocktail (with a gummy lip topper), so yummy!

    I really like this location, the staff is friendly and the restaurant is always very clean. My food is always delicious too and the waiters/waitresses are always helpful with any accommodations. Our server Julia was so nice to allow us to move from a table to a booth when we asked, even though it was a busy Friday night. They always have fun specials going especially around the holidays. I got their new valentines vodka cocktail and it was super yummy! And my oriental chicken salad is always superb.

    We rarely go to Applebees but stopped here after we had a game in the area. We were welcomed and seated by the manager who was very nice. He said our server was a little backed up so he also took our orders. Everything came out very quickly and server was very nice as well, she kept returning to check in on us and kept our drinks full. We got the $9.99 burger and chicken sandwiches, the food was just ok for us and not super filling. The restaurant was warm and clean, love all the neighborhood specific pictures and art everywhere.

    Chicken Wonton Tacos - crunchy n yummy! Great app to share.

I've tried some of the other locations (liberty station especially can sometimes overcook their wings) but this location always gets it right. The location is fairly large- many tables and a bar area but it does fill up on nights where there are games being shown. There is sometimes a bit of a wait but always a good vibe here. The servers are friendly and check in throughout the meal.

    First time coming to this iconic San Diego wing spot/sports bar. The interior wasn't very bright…read morebut you could see and there were a good amount of TVs to watch the games they were playing. I was seated quickly on this bar table thing (not the actual bar) and it was high up. The prices were pretty expensive at $12.50 for five wings, not including any sides/sauces. I came here on a Monday and got the Monday AYCE wing special. The AYCE made it more worth it but still a bit pricy at $31 per person. For AYCE, it comes with fries or tater tots, a sauce, 10 wings, and some carrots and celery for your first order. After that, you get 5 wings per refill. The wings were a good size though the skin wasn't really crispy or anything. I tried buffalo, lemon pepper, and flaming honey mustard. Buffalo and lemon pepper are my go to flavors but I didn't really enjoy any of the flavors I tried. There were an overwhelming amount of flavors so it was a bit hard to choose on the spot with AYCE but now I wish I tried some different ones. Our waitress was pretty nice and checked in on us a good amount. Overall, I felt like the food was just okay, and for the value made it less good. My rating is a bit higher because of the service. I might come back to try some other flavors since this is such an iconic San Diego chain.

Natalie definitely knows how to make an Old Fashioned--carefully handcrafted and finished with an orange peel. It doesn't get much better than that. This experience was a complete turnaround from my last visit, when I sat for quite a while without a greeting or any service. Other customers who arrived after me were served first, so I eventually walked out. Amanda and Ashley , thank you for addressing my previous review and making things right. Great job by Natalie and the team. I'll be back.

I ended up getting the breakfast burrito without the bacon to make it vegetarian and it was sooooo good. The salsa it came with was a wonderful mild red salsa. I would definitely order this breakfast burrito again. Plus the burrito was only $12.95, that is not bad at all. I also loved that they host a lot of fun themed nights and events. This really seems like a fun place to work and attend regularly, I wish it was closer to me. The day I went all the of the staff were dressed in PJs because they had a PJ party event planned for that evening. They had indoor seating as well as an outdoor back patio. Plenty of seating and plenty of TVs.

My son was actually asking for the bathroom and the cashier mentioned the places to eat that had indoor bathrooms. That 7-eleven only had porter potty. We came on a Sunday afternoon and the game area was full of people hanging out. My kid was excited to discover they had a pinball machine, which kept him entertained while we waited. Food: I ordered the smash burger with added mushrooms and bacon. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and the bun was soft and toasted just right. My son got the cheeseburger. He asked for everything on the side but ended up getting just cheese and lettuce. It still worked out. He also ordered a vanilla shake with Oreos mixed in. We were supposed to share it, but he ended up drinking most of it while my husband managed to sneak a few sips. My husband ordered the wings, which were saucy and satisfying. He was able to get half BBQ flavor and half spicy buffalo. They had several beers on tap. For my drink, I asked for the sweetest wine, and our server recommended the Rustic Ridge Pomegranate. It's from a nearby vineyard and was good--sweet, smooth, and easy to drink. Service: Service was friendly and attentive, and we were checked on throughout our meal. Military Discount: 10% off! Great food, good service, and a relaxed atmosphere. If we're back in the area, we would stop by again.

My husband and I have driven past many times and always felt curious. So finally we made a stop on our way home. Let me just say, it did not disappoint! The workers were very friendly and patient with us while we decided on what to order. Once we finished ordering, they actually let you play a game of chance to see if your meal is free! Roll the dice and if you get double fives it's on them. I did not win but I thought that was fun! I cannot stress this enough, the food was amazing! It's definitely a MUST try! Just be warned; cause like I said before this is a food cart in the parking lot of a liquor store. Nothing wrong with it but there isn't a lot of sit down options or anything like that. So if you're looking for a place to stay a while and sit to enjoy your meal. This place might have to wait for another day!

They offer their signature Bomb…read moreBuns, Bomb Bun Bowls, loaded fries, smash beef burgers, grilled chicken wraps, and beef shawarma wraps. What really makes them stand out is their use of Hot Cheetos and Doritos throughout the menu. We decided to try the Hot Cheeto Beef Burger ($12.99), which comes with a smashed beef patty, pickles, caramelized onions, arugula, Swiss cheese, Rizzo sauce, and fries underneath the burger. I ordered mine without pickles and added avocado. Presentation-wise, it was just okay. It definitely looked better on the menu. The burger came out looking a little rushed and the bun wasn't centered. Not a huge deal, but it didn't have that wow factor I was expecting. Service was pretty transactional from start to finish. Nothing negative, but there wasn't much interaction beyond taking the order and handing out the food. As for the burger itself, I have mixed feelings. It wasn't bad at all, but it didn't quite live up to the concept. The beef tasted fresh and good quality. I really liked the avocado addition. It added a nice richness and freshness that balanced everything out. I just wish there had been more caramelized onions because they were barely noticeable. Oh and no clue where the arugula went. My biggest issue was that the Hot Cheetos didn't really do much for the burger itself. Most of that flavor ended up on the fries, so the burger never really delivered the wow factor I was expecting based on the name and photos. Ironically, the fries ended up being my favorite part of the meal. The Hot Cheeto flavor came through much more there, and I liked that there was melted cheese underneath with their signature sauce throughout. They felt more like loaded fries than a side dish and honestly stole the spotlight from the burger. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were fair. For me, it landed right in the middle. Decent, but not something I'd specifically go out of my way for again.
