    Sausage Grilled Cheese Breakfast Sandwich? Why no round sourdough bread? It was plain white bread. Smashed too.
    NB A.

    Wrong order I ordered a chicken grilled burrito and that's what the receipt indicates. Didn't open it til I got home - NO CHICKEN, a few bits of carne asada and I mean a very few bits, mainly beans and rice. I guess this is what I deserve for not going to a taqueria instead. And it cost over $10.

    It's been a year or two since I had a beef taco salad from Carl's Jr, I was surprised to see that they had one in San Carlos. I placed my order at the drive thru. For one beef taco salad the total came to $10.61 so I gave the cashier eleven dollars even. I knew something wasn't right when the cashier gave me back 78 cents change? Of which I only kept 39 cents and gave him back the rest. So I pulled around and parked inside the parking lot and was just about to dig . This is when I noticed both the lettuce and the guacamole were brown! The ground beef tasted strange also. So no taco salad for me today. I took it back and they refunded my money.

    Supposed to be grilled - but it wasn't

    This is what they consider a GRILLED burrito. A CJ's soft anemic tortilla. I should've known better than to order Mexican food from the CJ's Green Burrito section.

    $11 grilled steak quesadilla. ( Got this sorry looking quesadilla non-grilled & cold )

    Ordered a "GRILLED" steak quesadilla ($11 - PRICEY for what you see in the photo I included) & got this cold non-grilled quesadilla. Complete waste of food, time, and money when Carl's Jr can't even train its employees to make the item on the menu correctly. Ended up throwing it out. They also charge for sauces beyond 1 packet. Never coming back again. See other people's reviews complaining about the same problem ordering food and not getting what they ordered and half ass food making attempts while charging you full price

    Been here a couple of times. Tried there beyond burger. It taste somewhere between a garden burger and a famous star. Quite expensive, even for the sandwich by itself. You get 2 patties for only $6.99 at safeway. I can say there organic hamburger is pretty good.

    Loveeee it

The restaurant was somewhat busy when we got there. We waited for a few minutes before the host came by and told us we have our pick of tables. Menus were already on the table when we sat down. Here's what we got: - Soprano chicken with salad (mine) - Outlaw burger with onion rings (his) The burgers were pretty tasty. My chicken burger wasn't dry and the salad that accompanied it was refreshing. Zach said he liked his burger and the onion rings.

I ordered the Maverick classic burger with American cheese and a side salad. It tasted fresh and I finished all my food since I was pretty hungry. Like two hours later my stomach felt really sick like my intestines were twisting inside of me. The pain was excruciating and lasted for a couple of hours and all I could think of was maybe I got "food poisoning." Most likely the food poisoning came from the bad ground beef or cheese. Unfortunately, since it was my first time and the experience I received, I will not be returning to this restaurant. First impression is everything and this place didn't meet that expectation! To reply to the owners response not true. It does not take 8 hrs for someone to experience food poisoning. Before you reply to a customer comment, please do your research first! I've included in my pics below that food poisoning symptoms can be experienced within hours of eating bad food!

By day, it's warm, welcoming, and family-friendly. You'll see families enjoying dinner, friends catching up over drinks, and locals stopping in for great food and hospitality. But once Friday night hits, the entire atmosphere transforms. The lights dim, the music turns up, the dance floor fills, and the energy becomes something you'd expect to find in a much bigger city. Friday nights bring a fun mix of crowds; from younger groups looking for DJs, dancing, cocktails, and nightlife energy, to older guests enjoying the live music, atmosphere, and social vibe. Honestly, I'm a little older myself and still absolutely love the younger, high-energy scene here. It's fun, welcoming, and never feels out of place no matter your age. That's what makes this place so unique. Everyone fits in and everyone has a great time. Then Saturdays bring a completely different experience with live artists and an incredible variety of music. One weekend you'll hear young country performers getting the crowd singing along, and the next you'll find authentic Irish fiddlers creating that classic pub atmosphere everyone loves. That variety is what keeps people coming back..every weekend offers something different and memorable. The food is outstanding, the beer and cocktail selection is excellent, and the hospitality is second to none. I finally had the chance to meet Molly, the owner, and it's easy to see why this place has built such a loyal following. Her passion for creating a place where everyone feels welcome shows in every detail. From the amazing service to the live entertainment and unforgettable atmosphere, this isn't just another local pub. It's become a destination spot and one of the true nightlife gems in San Carlos. Highly recommend checking it out, especially on the weekends.

A traditional Irish breakfast must contain Black and White pudding (a ground sausage, oatmeal and spices), Irish sausage (tastes like a banger), Irish bacon (more like thinly sliced ham), eggs. and tomato baked beans. It's delicious! I hope they get more business though! I really like this place!
