Someone at the bar mentioned I should get the sauce on the side because they end up soggy. I had no issues with them personally. They're not breaded wings which was a nice change. *I believe cornstarch is involved. The buffalo isn't spicy, it's buttery. There's room at the bar, a side bar, and they have half-circle booths that would be perfect for groups. Bonus points for the hospitality. =)

Currently one of thirteen Johnny Rocket's branded burger and shake stands on Royal Caribbean boats,…read morethe Johnny Rockets on the Navigator of the Seas/Royal Caribbean is located on the main pool deck. The partnership began in 2007, and continues today. Our location is located outdoors, opposite to the El loco Fresh mexican cantina. It is an a la carte menu, very focused on burgers, fries and shakes. I've never tried a burger from them on a ship, but decided to try an ice cream shake (since it's not offered at any of the complementary eating places). We were on a back to back cruise on the Navigator, so once we were back on the boat, waited till 11 am (when they opened) to get two shakes (oreo and strawberry). Normally $5.50 (non-alcoholic), any previous sailing customer (i.e. someone with at least one previous sailing on RC) will get two 50% 'coupons' for a shake. Everything onboard automatically gets charged a 18% gratuity, so total for each shake was $3.54 (including the LA tax since I got it while in port). Like everything else here, it gets charged to the room, being settled up right after we disembark. The shakes were handmade, using soft serve vanilla ice cream as the base. Oreo crumbles or strawberry syrup was added along with milk, to make a pretty decent shake. Enjoying it right now while writing this review when I still have cell service before we head back to Mexico.

Okay ! I have been avoiding this place because I loved Spiros ! BUT I ordered it via Uber Eats…read moretoday. I got the burrito with all the meats but requested not to have ham and if I could replace it with either asada or chorizo and to my surprised they did !!!!...okay this is an extreme honest review ! Because I love breakfast burritos and because I truly think this place can have one of the best Bfast burritos if they work on some things...let me start of with the green salsa, honestly sucks ! Very bland, almost watered down (easy fix) ... the burrito was good but a little disappointing in a weird way !!!!, Listen !!!! Oddly enough it had asada trough every bite ! Plenty of sausage and bacon cooked to perfection ! But even though it didn't lack protein for some reason it was still not "packed"...trust me I'm confused as well ! "How can it have plenty of protein/meats but still be empty or soggy?" ... I have no clue ? But I'm not bashing it ! I truly think if they figure out how to pack it in better, maybe more egg and potatos? (Be careful because too much potato can kill it) ... also do not be afraid to season the eggs and potato's....a 10/10 breakfast burritos is usually packed ! When you hold it there's no flop or empty hollow tortilla.... I want to highlight again I'm not bashing it !!! It is a good burrito but can be worked on if you want it to be "top breakfast burrito in the southbay"... I give it a 7.7/10 at the moment ! Once they can Jam Pack it like ALL great breakfast burritos and work on their salsa I can see people traveling all over the southbay for this, also don't be afraid of seasoning! I know it's risky because some cooks over do it. Over all the hate for classics do to spiros legacy is not valid to me! This place was good and the fact they replaced the ham with asada shows they care. Hopefully this review didn't come off as hate because it's the complete opposite! I truly think this can be an amazing breakfast burrito !

A quick yelp search turned me to Happy Diner, about four blocks from the museum on Centre Street in San Pedro (a 15 minute walk, although we drove due to mobility issues). They were in their last hour of service, but were friendly and welcoming. It was diner food, but honestly, hit the spot in that moment. I got the chili, and it was good. I would return if in the area again.

We were thrilled to see a few menu options that were marked as vegan. Bonus points for being affordable! I completely missed their attached parking lot when I arrived and ended up parking across the street in the neighborhood, where there was ample free parking. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half full and there was live music occurring on the patio. We opted to sit inside where it was a little less noisy and there was a comfy and cozy booth calling our name. The vibe was great, with fun and eclectic decor. The service was really upbeat and friendly and our server was so kind and helpful. We asked him if the espresso martini had dairy in it (which I just discovered that is a thing at some places) and he double checked with the bartender to ensure there wasn't my dairy in it! I ordered that alongside a falafel wrap I must say, both of these worked so well together. The espresso martini was light and refreshing yet still had a bold flavor. The falafel was nice and crispy with a delectable inside and the tahini sauce was so rich and creamy. The meal felt indulgent yet hearty all at the same time. I left feeling so uplifted and relaxed all at the same time. Despite it being on the noisier side, I was still able to hear my friend well and it was such a great place for us to catch up. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely return the next time I'm in the area!

I ordered the pastrami on rye (basically a Reuben) which was good. I wish it had more meat and it was half sliced, half chopped. Theirs seems to be all chopped up and crisped, which gives it a nice texture and almost bacon-y vibe. Messy but good. I had a side salad which was also good. Overall our meal was great and there were TVs visible from anywhere you sat, which is perfect for a sports bar. My big gripe is being charged $1 for pickles to go with a sandwich. Maybe you get more if they put them directly on the sandwich, but they forgot mine so the pickles came in a ramekin. 6 pickle slices for $1.

Listen, San Pedro Brewing Company…read more.. I don't know who is responsible for those Gaffey Fries, but I'd like to personally thank them for their service. Those things showed up looking innocent and left me questioning every other order of fries I've ever had. The wings were fire, the hot fudge sundae was the perfect grand finale, and Sloan behind the bar was an absolute gem. Every recommendation she made was spot on, and whatever she shook up behind that bar should probably come with a warning label because it was that good. This place has that neighborhood hangout feel where everybody seems welcome, the food comes out hot, and the drinks keep showing up exactly when they should. Between the fries, the wings, the sundae, and Sloan's hospitality, I'd say this place earned itself a regular customer. -Health, wealth, and extra cheese to everyone involved.

Funny what writing helps you remember, and hopefully what you remember is good stuff. Before I stepped into this bar, I expected it to be a Diver bar, in the grittiest sense, but I was wrong, it is a Dive bar in the most exciting of ways: It is a collection of tchotchkes (a fancy word for trinkets) that when admired as a whole and then independently give this place a whimsical personality. Imagine having a friend that when invited to a pool party wears a bikini with a fun print--- like cherries or flamingos, and is always down for a shot and playful mayhem. Being around this type of personality amps up the party soul of a moment because their vibe is that of a buzz-nurturer. Meaning that when I was in the bar, and all it has to offer, made me want to have a good time, regardless of what I carried in from the outside. The place gives immediate Tiki Bar vibes but does not carry the moment to full fruition. For example, in my pictures I show curtains with Tiki Idols, and a light fixture adorn with its own hula skirt but the Tiki motif does not transport one to a Luau where dancers sway as they wait for a pig to finish roasting. Instead, the Tiki vibes are sharply contrasted with posters and other keepsakes that are both aspiration and life lessons. For instance, one reminds us to leave your drama outside. Another hanging placard lists advisories that (straight) men should adhere when hitting on women. One of these is the fact that some women's sexual preference is NO. Another poster explains what happens when girls drink too much. One of the 10 outcomes is that women confuse the kitchen floor for their mattress when laying down. Like I said, all of these small and bigger touches combine to give this place a personality that draws one to have a good time. For me, there were two standout items in the place- 1) a jukebox and a 2) pool table. I was with three people that played pool better than me. One of them explained the purpose of a chalk mound. One is suppose to rub the place between their thumb and index finger to get chalk right in there. Then rub the chalk on the stick. This will create less friction which will help you shoot better. I did all that. This moment also allowed me and another member of my group to have a lot of hard wood jokes-- what are you going to do, we were having a good time at this place, and these jokes felt right. The jukebox was also free. I played Ariana Grande's version of Popular from Wicked and I felt the song. I was warbling loudly, and off key, and dancing because I was feeling the tune and the drinks. At the end, some of the people in the bar clapped and hollered. I went to put in another song I was stopped, the regulars were watching football on a Sunday, go figure. That is the thing about this bar, it is a regular's bar. People knew each other, people knew I was the first timer. Like when I spoke, two or three people answered my question. When I was looking for the key a customer directed me to it. So this place is definitely a place where regulars are at. And if you know anything about dive bar culture, regulars who know each other make a community. So you will need to navigate these dynamics if you attend. For instance, one of my friends was in the bathroom, doing the business of two. A regular opened the door and my friend was like, I am here, closed the door. The regular did not close the door, instead he made a joke about leaving the door just a bit open, while being a bro about it. I was horrified just being a witness. But between bar flies these type of jokes might be understood as joyful. But it would take me an alternate life to find humor in potty politics. I was introduced to the White Tea shot and it has become my new shot so this place left a mark on my taste buds. The shot at the end had this strong green tea taste. The prices were right too! I can't wait to go here again, when the party vibe calls me forth! Oh and it is cash only, unless you spend 40 and above then it is card appropriate.
