Easy to order food and easy to get drinks. They were friendly with kids running around. Food was also tasty and fast to deliver. Parking was a big tight as it is located alongside an apt complex.. not sure what they do when the lot fills up. But all in all we had a great night and would return and recommend. Definitely a unique find!

Food: Chicken sandwich which comes with potato chips & I ordered Chips and guacamole. The sandwich…read morewas great & the corn chips were good, but what happened to the homemade guacamole? no wonder it's now in a tiny plastic container because noone would want more than that tiny spoonful of guacamole. It was disappointing but the sandwich was delicious. Service: It was a to-go order. Would be nice to have somewhere to sit while waiting for an order to be done. Ambiance:Very cute, industrial barn style Noteworthy: I don't come often because I want to order to go, but there is no way to call or any way to order online.

They still have their large pretzel with mustard and cheese sauce that we love. And their sandwiches are delicious. As for service, you order from a QR code at the table, and food and drinks are brought to you. Not a lot of interaction with staff, but that's okay. I highly recommend a visit.

The staff is consistently friendly, attentive, and keeps things moving without ever feeling rushed. The Turkado sandwich is my go to every time. The turkey is fresh, the avocado is perfectly ripe, and everything is layered on warm, toasted bread with that signature sauce that makes it unforgettable. You can really tell they care about quality and consistency. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food, great service, and a chill vibe. I'll definitely be back.

I got the chicken club and…read morewhile the french baguette was soft and fresh, I felt the chicken was super thin and the sandwich was half shredded lettuce. I felt the sandwich was just average. My husband got a tuna sandwich and said it was just ok as well. The location is in a shopping center and had plenty of parking. They did have a bar and a nice outdoor seating area. We received our sandwiches pretty quickly as well.

This has quickly become my brother and I'm go-to spot! We're both pretty upset that our first…read moreexperience was take out, but let me tell you..we fixed that VERY quickly. I can proudly say I have tried quite a few things on the menu already and have not been disappointed. I'd say at this point my brother and I have been here over 5 times. We even brought our parents here twice already. Once for dinner and once for breakfast. My brother and I have done breakfast, lunch and dinner at this point. The first item I tried was the Sun-Dried Tomato Rigatoni. This was so creamy and delicious (later found out you cam add another meat). Which my mom tried her first time around with Salmon. She said it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. From that first pasta, I tried the March Month Special, I got the chopped cheese with no cheese (lactose intolerant) but man did I devour it so fast!! There tater tots never miss btw ALWAYS crispy. The Grilled Chicken Sando, mannn was thay superr good too. Chicken was juicy and always love me some avocado. I told my brother I am going to make it a priority to try everything I cam here. Also, the presentation on the plates ESPECIALLY the Fresno 1/2 Chicken *chefs kiss* The service is NEVER misses. Soo attentive no matter the time of day. Tony's drinks are UH-MAY-ZING. We had Mckellen as our server and he was great. The biggest shoutout to James (the owner) seems like he knows how to create a phenomenal work environment and keeps his people happy. We've seen him walk around often and checking in. You can definitely see thay he cares. I HIGHLY recommend coming here if you have the chance. Also, try the Espresso Martini my brother who is far from a coffee drinker even loves it!!

It's really nice to have a local brew pub in Escondido! I've been multiple times and really like…read moreit. Very open concept that has a modern feel to it. There is a nice indoor/outdoor vibe as there are some really big glass garage type windows that open (or close). The service has always been very prompt and friendly. I keep going back to their pizza's as they are quite good. I also suggest checking the special of the day as they usually have some pretty cool ones. They also have beer! Quite a few to be honest and if you aren't sure they are great at helping you figure out what works for you. For good food served by nice people in a clean and modern environment, this is the place!

Something feels off here. The vibes in this place are weird and looking into the yelp page…read moreconfirmed my suspicion. First off, Im 100% sure the owner here uses ChatGPT to answer all negative yelp reviews. Any business owner worth their weight is able to think for themselves and use their brain to answer unless they're completely illiterate or too incompetent to think of a good response. Second off, are they even a brewery? I see cans and taps of their own beer, but looking into the business, I dont think they own a brewery at all. This is more along the lines of a taphouse/pub. THAT BEING SAID, the food is quite nice. I think the pizza is great and it feels like they make and roll their own dough which is respectable and ambitious for a random little spot like this. But It is quiet...too quiet. The beer tender would constantly hangout at the handicap table talking to any co-worker with free time on their hands for a long time. Seems like a cushy job honestly. I'm assuming they would hold conversation with customers, but unfortunately There were no customers... its a ghost town, and i left thinking, "This place is creepy." I'll just pick up and eat the pizza at home next time. I'm waiting to see what generic CHATGPT response the owner gives me.

We ordered the classic burger with avocado and jalapeños and the mushroom Swiss with avocado, both cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The ingredients taste fresh, the buns are soft and toasted just right, and everything comes together exactly how a great burger should. Even the fries are excellent--crispy and seasoned well. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the whole place has a great atmosphere. It's clean, open, and comfortable with a cool modern vibe that makes it a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Every visit has been solid. If you're a burger fan, this place is a must.

I really enjoyed my visit to this place for an early dinner. One complaint is the workers could be…read morea little more pleasant to interact with, but it wasn't horrible either. The order was right and they didn't cause any scenes from when I was there. Everything was kept clean and there was no particular area that I felt the need to avoid or ask to clean up. The food was the main star of the show - especially the smokehouse burger/slider. The flavor was all there and the patty was juicy and just over all delicious. The grilled chicken club was a little dry, but it was in a slider version so I imagine that's bound to happen. The cheeseburger slider was good, but not amazing - patty was still cooked enough to be juicy, and it was enjoyable. The fries were yummy, but not out of this world. It's possibly because I'm not the biggest fan of steak fries, but I'd eat them again. Overall, a great place to stop by in the area and would definitely visit again to try other items. Will definitely look into what others enjoyed so I can try those too!

Another shout-out to the awesome staff here. Every single employee every time I've come here has…read morebeen super nice and helpful. This is also my favorite spot to come with a group for beer (& cider & kombucha!) and pizza. Great selection on tap and in cans, and very legit thin-crust pizza. Chill patio, which you can call ahead to reserve for a group. Plus their warm chocolate chip cookies are the bomb. Thanks for letting us close the place down tonight, Kaylee (sp?) & the crew!

Staff was super friendly just like before. I was happy with my slices. Will always return to this place when I can. I got slices of the Hawaiian and hot honey pepperoni and the only thing I would change is I couldn't really taste any honey. I also got the meatballs to go for my partner and, especially after a 24 hour fast, he loved them.

Churchill's Pub & Grille is a lively neighborhood dive bar with games, music, and a super fun,…read morelaid-back vibe. Pros: This spot is a good place to hang out if you're looking for a casual bar with activities like billiards and darts. The vibe is fun without being overly packed, which made it easy to enjoy the space. They have darts (which are free, you just leave your ID), a pool table, and a music queue system where you can pick songs to play, which adds an interactive element to the night. I didn't try the food but the drinks were solid and did not disappoint. The overall energy of the place was welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. It's one of those spots where you can relax, hang out, and have a good time. Cons: Parking here is probably the biggest downside. The lot is really small and gets packed quickly, so I wouldn't recommend relying on it. We parked nearby after eating at Copper Kings Burgers and just walked over, which ended up being way easier. Verdict: If you're looking for a fun, chill bar in San Marcos with games, music, and good drinks, this is a great spot to check out. Just plan ahead for parking, but overall it's definitely worth it and I would come back again!

Came here for my fiancé's birthday…read more There were a lot of cars in the parking lot, so I thought the place would be packed. But I can't tell if most people were just in the bar area - we were able to get a booth! The place was nice and loud since every one was having a good time. Several parties of 3+ and I saw 1 party of 6. They were doing an explorer menu from Yucatan. Interesting thing to do during Black History Month - I won't lie. I was surprised to see it. But we ordered from that menu. We ordered the fried plantain that came with a sauce and cilantro, sausage and pepper soup, and the BBQ pork. I enjoyed everything except for the plantain. They were basically a huge disc that was slightly crunchy. I was not expecting that since if I want a crunchy plantain, I will eat actual plantain chips. The soup was fantastic! It was a bit spicy but not overwhelming and full of flavor. Wish I ordered a bowl instead of a cup. And last but not least, the BBQ pork was very good. Served on lettuce as well, so if you are doing keto you can omit eating the tortillas that came with the dish. It also had pickled red onions and a salsa. The salsa was mild and with everything in the taco, flavors were balanced. We also ordered 6 Cajun wings. But today, they didn't seem as flavorful, a pity really. A grilled cheese was ordered but with hamburger meat inside. That seemed good and it came with fries. Washed all of this down with a sour that was called Boozy Berry & my fiancé had a West Coast beer. Food was enjoyable, atmosphere was fun. We will be back again.
