Sunny Grove Brewing Company

We held our fantasy football draft here, and Scott and Tessa were more than accommodating. Thank…read moreyou both so much for your help. This brewery has phenomenal beer, plenty of options, and the best service around.

We visited Sunny Grove Brewing Company for the first time on a recent Sunday…read more We arrived around 11:00 AM. The L-shaped bar was about a quarter full. The space is really great. Inside and out on the patio. They have a very nice and large bar top. The place is quite large with an open and airy feel. Definitely cool brewery vibes. The bathroom was really impressive; huge and spotlessly clean. They have a great selection of beers on tap from light to IPA. Stouts, darks - a beer for everybody. Beer only right now. I enjoyed a very tasty Mexican Lager (La Bamba). Becky begrudgingly enjoyed one as well. She no longer drinks beer. She lost nearly 50 pounds by switching to low carb, low calorie seltzers a few years ago. That was our only disappointment, no seltzers. Not even in cans in the cooler. If we ever return, she'll have to bring her own. Sunny Grove does not have a kitchen, but they do host a different food truck or pop-up nearly every day. Check the calendar on their website for details. sunnygrovebeer.com Definitely a cool spot, just wish they'd add a seltzer even if it is canned.

Burning Beard Brewing

Cool joint with really nice people. Haven't been in a while and felt like old school brew. Always…read moregreeted with a smile and the beer is interesting. I think they're more into the Belgians, but I found a couple of West Coast-like IPAs. The cool thing about Burning is that they have food or an attached food truck. We went for Patty Melt/fries and a wedge. It was good and just my helpful two cents, if you're going to stay away from Rye bread in a Patty, you need lots of grilled onions. I love the white bread idea but it's more of a Chester than a Patty melt. Better news: Burning Beard is moving to a larger local, much larger, and a dedicated kitchen. Can't wait.

Burning Beard is my emotional support brewery at this point. I show up for the strong Belgian beers…read moreand stay because suddenly the world feels like a better place after one or two. Their patty melt also deserves its own fan club. It has no business being that good at a brewery. Do I love the music? No. It feels like my ears lost a bet. But after a solid Belgian, I find myself being way more forgiving. Funny how that works. The staff are ridiculously friendly too, which makes it hard to complain about anything when someone is handing you great beer with a smile. Come here for the Belgians, stay for the patty melt, tolerate the music, leave happy.

For dessert, bread pudding was the winner. Cobblers would have been 10/10 with ice cream. All in all a good eat, save for that single roach sighting.

The last time we dined at Tabu in Santee I tried the Spicy Shrimp Ramen and loved it. This time I…read moredecided to try a different ramen. Tonkotsu Ramen Rich creamy pork broth with thin wavy noodle and pork. Not quite as good as the shrimp but excellent, in its own way. The broth was super rich and creamy. The noodles were plentiful and the pork was tender and juicy. I love the addition of the soft-boiled egg. I just wish they would include both halves. Could've used more pork also. Excellent ramen though. Becky, of course had the Crunchy Roll with a side of Chicken Fried Rice and loved both. As per usual. Our friends very much enjoyed their Bento Box and Chirashi Bowl (assorted fish over sushi rice) which he customized with the fish of his choosing. Four great meals at Tabu.

You're usually…read moreseated almost right away, and the waiter comes in a timely manner to take drink orders, bring food, and check on refills. Sometimes servers can check in a little too often and interrupt conversation, but the staff here does a great job of being attentive without being intrusive. They are fast, intentional, and always friendly. Now for the food, it's delicious. Their specialty rolls never miss. The Sexy Roll will always be my favorite. The edamame and miso soup are also great appetizers to start with. The prices are a bit high, so we tend to come here more for special occasions or date nights, but the quality makes it worth it. Overall it's a great spot with consistent service and really good sushi.

Phil's BBQ is my favorite BBQ spot. Whenever I am down in San Diego, I always make a trip over to…read moreone of their locations. I wish they had more locations up towards LA or in the LA area, even better. The staff here is great, from the moment you walk in, you wait to place your order at the counter, cashiers are really nice, then they have employees coming around checking in with you at your table, help with drinks, cleaning the tables, etc. Great service all the way around. Phil's does it right, great BBQ, great service, cool vibes, nice large bar area and a huge amount of food, what's not to love. Now to the actual BBQ, I love their BBQ sauce, chicken is juicy and full of flavor, they have really tasty sausage links, if you buy a link, you get a free drink as well. Then finally, their monster beef bone ribs, these are a must for you to get while you are there. Even if you only get one, you will be happy you did. Their sides are great as well, BBQ beans, Mac salad, yum and they have colossal onion rings which are great as well. Hard to find something you won't love. Fo check them out, support local, get great BBQ, great price, huge portions and friendly service. Winning combination for a super successful business. Enjoy!

The best thing about Phil's BBQ is the smell. The aroma. It'll hit you from nearly a mile away. If…read moreyou shop anywhere else in the shopping center, the smell is unstable. It's aromatic, intoxicating. It promises amazing food and an amazing time. Unfortunately, that's also the worst part about it because nothing inside the restaurant lives up to this promise whatsoever. The interior is about as Midwestern/country tacky as you can get. The customer service is just fine, the employees are doing the best they can with what they've got. There's really not a lot to say with that aspect, for better or worse. Although the line system and how long you wait for the subpar food is a crime in and of itself. The food itself is the most disappointing part: the majority of the offerings taste cheap, virtually all the meat is incredibly dry, and the sauce will do a little to nothing to fix that. The best thing about the food is that they have Cajun seasoning at the table that you can overload your food with, making it taste slightly more edible. This hardly fixes the fries, though, which might be the worst part about it, emphasizing the dryness of the restaurant's to a degree that can only be compared to a sprawling baking desert in the middle of July. And you can forget about healthier eating options here. All of it is mediocre at best. It would be nice to recommend a local business like this. Unfortunately, it's impossible to do that in this case. Until the restaurant completely overhauls its menu, service style, and does something to really spruce up the place to bring it up to a higher caliber, it's best to steer far clear of aroma tempting roasting aroma that lingers across the neighboring parking lots.
