I took the family out to the beach for Mother's Day. Ended up walking by this place and got lured in by the "$4 mystery shot". Trust and believe... it's a $4 shot, ain't gonna be some quality drank! However, it got the job done. The service was awesome! Our waiter was cool, he was attentive, didn't make us feel rushed, and did a good job servicing our table. Keep in mind, I had two kids that couldn't stay still. He handled it well. The food, was ok. We ordered the BBQ plater for two, a classic cheese burger, got the kids a cheese burger, and chicken tenders. The burgers were good! Good classic burger, seasoned well and came out hot. The fries were nice and crispy, could have used a little more salt, but I do like my fries extra salted, The chicken tenders... honestly... was the best dish that we had, it was the kids meal, but you know... I gotta pick at my kids food lol came out piping hot, well seasoned, great texture... and sauced down with their BBQ sauce... fire Now for the actual BBQ platter, I was disappointed in it... we got it with brisket, chicken, and tri-tip (we replaced the pulled pork for tri-tip, an $8 dollar upgrade). Our sides were Mexican corn, fries, & Mac n cheese. The proteins came out kinda cold, they had no smoke taste at all, tasted oven made, and not actual BBQ. The tri-tip was over cooked, and chewy to eat, it's a lean piece of meat, and is easy to over cook, I had to sauce the heck out of it. The brisket had a good texture, was under seasoned in my opinion (I like heavy pepper and salt on my brisket) but it didn't have any bark. I'm use to my bbq have a nice smoke ring and a good bark. The chicken was sauced, and was mid. The sides were aiiight. The Mac n cheese was the best side, the mexican corn was served in a cup, and was just ok. I'm use to Mexican corn being on the cob, rolled in mayo and cotija... with hot sauce! Messy and stuck in my grill. The BBQ sauce carried the whole dish... Overall it was a great experience! I would definitely return here for the vibes, burgers, and those bomb chicken tenders! Not for the bbq. read more

We came to go to Belmont Park but needed dinner first. Chose bbq brisket and chicken strips. Get the chicken strips it was fried right, tender inside with some nice mild spicing outside. Pickles too vinegary but I still ate them. Our waiter was really cool and very good at checking in with us throughout our dinner. We played fooseball until our dinners showed up. Then crossed the street to the amusement park. read more

You have to try this place! I ordered the brisket and hot sausage with bacon potato salad and coleslaw. My food sat in my uber drivers car for over an hour and it was still SO good. I have ate a lot of bbq, and also smoke my own food and I was incredibly impressed with the taste. This will be my new go to when I'm in San Diego. My only suggestion is if you are in a hotel bring your own pack plastic forks. No option to add one, so I had to eat with my coffee stir stick in my room. read more

AMAZING STAFF! Gabby, Steve & Maciej really helped to make me feel super welcomed, even though I was by myself I had such great conversations and such great customer service from them.

Stopped by after walking the Mission Beach boardwalk and stumbling upon this spot, and it did not disappoint! We tried the pulled pork nachos and they were absolute fire -- loaded with flavor, perfectly cheesy, and that BBQ sauce on the side? Insane. Sweet, smoky, and the perfect pairing. The vibe here is just as good as the food. They've got a cool backyard-style area with games like giant Connect Four, which made it a fun and laid-back hangout spot. read more

This large restaurant and sports bar has large indoor and outdoor seating areas with a large bar area in the center of the restaurant. It was weekday mid afternoon and only a few tables were occupied. TVs line the walls enabling patrons to watch any game televised. Hailey was our server and greeted us warmly. My wife and I ordered cocktails to start. They were strong and well made. It was a great way to get our evening kick started. We ordered the TJ Burger (4/5) and the Kuba sandwich (4/5). Each sandwich came with an abundance of crispy French fries (5/5). My burger was juicy and well made. The grilled jalapeno added some great spice to the burger. The Kuba sandwich is Coasters take on a Cuban sandwich using smoked pulled pork in lieu of roasted pork. They press it so the bread is super crunchy/crispy. I got a few bites of my wife's sandwich and it was pretty tasty. We had a good late lunch at the coaster saloon. My only request to the ownership would be to purchase a flame grill so burgers get that same smoky charred flavor that BBQ lovers appreciate. A chargrilled burger would be a difference maker and set coaster apart from the hundreds of smash/flat top burgers throughout San Diego. My opinion.... read more

Had a great time. I didn't trust that something in such a touristy area could be any good and Came because such great yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. Had the best service with Steve who was super attentive and made great recommendations. Bbq was awesome loved the brisket and the pork ribs were the best. We loved the chicken and waffle too will definitely be back! read more

I came here on a whim looking for a place with cold beer and bbq. The half rack of baby backs was the perfect size and left me content. The cole slaw and baked beans were seriously on point. Beautiful day + beautiful beach location + delicious food + friendly service = 5 stars. Keep it going guys! read more

Was craving BBQ and I wasn't expecting much from a spot right across from Belmont Park, but I was pleasantly surprised at the value and quality of food! I got the bbq feast for a party of 2 and split it between 3 people and we still had some food leftover. The chicken was my favorite of the meat and I was a big fan of their potato salad as well. The baked beans had ground beef in them which threw me off a bit, but overall the platter was great. For a Sunday evening it wasn't too busy and the food came out super fast. read more

I was recently on a work trip and stayed just down the street from the Coaster Saloon. I took a walk there to grab a bite to eat and have a beer. I was extremely happy with my choice. I'd read reviews and decided this was a good place to check out. I ordered a couple local craft beers throughout the time there. I also ordered their Party Fowl chicken sandwich with Carolina Gold sauce. What a tasty sandwich! The entire time I was there, staff stopped over to check in and make sure food was warm and the beer was cold. The atmosphere of this bar and grill was perfect for a low key Wednesday evening dinner. The decor was great! I was glad I made the walk to eat here. There wasn't a whole lot of other sit-down places in the evening in this area. They do a good job of making this a welcoming joint. read more

We ventured out to Coaster Saloon tonight to give it a try. Our server, Steve, made the night so pleasant. He was so friendly and accommodating. My husband and I both ordered the Q burger, medium rare, and street corn. The burgers were huge, and even though they did not get the medium rare part right, they were flavorful. The meat could use more seasoning though. Steve was so sweet and apologetic that they were not cooked correctly and had them remade for us. We will definitely come back, because of Steve! Next time we will try the bbq meats. Thank you, Steve, you made an impression on us. read more

A group of us had lunch at the Coaster Saloon today. We all had burgers. 3 people had the classic burger and I had the TJ burger. The burgers were delicious and the fries were amazing! The fries were crispy on the outside and creamy inside. The burger had a nice char and a grilled flavor. We celebrated a birthday and the banana pudding was creamy, flavorful and rich (in a good way). What really added to the experience was our server Steve. Steve was a wonderful server. He has a great personality, never rushed us and checked in on us regularly. He made our lunch very special. read more

Tucked in near the boardwalk of Mission Beach lies this hidden gem. If you're around the Belmont park area, it's only a short walk away. It's a small interior, but they do have outdoor seating also. The outdoor seating is great if you like people watching. The food is actually surprisingly good. There's not a whole lot of good bbq in San Diego, but this place has some of the most tender brisket I've had. The ribs are also fall off the bone tender! The sides are pretty decent too. Staff were very nice and attentive. They would swing by and check up on us and see if we needed refills on drinks. read more

The service is fantastic and everyone is attentive to you. Oh, and if you like sports, great place to watch the games. read more

I got the blue cheese burger with Mac and cheese. The burger was well done, but the cheese strong! April and staff were very attentive, checking up on us often. I would recommend this place over the others nearby. read more

Oh my goodness is all I was saying my whole time here! The food, the drinks, the service all 10/10!! We we're staying in Oceanside with my in-laws, but decided to go to San Diego right before heading back to the heat in Arizona and decided we wanted to grab some lunch so I immediately yelped what was around and was immediately drawn to coaster saloon. We also did have our two doggies with us and we're delighted that they are also pet friendly! But onto the important part, the food and the drinks, not only did they have very fast and friendly service. The food was so fresh and the drinks were delicious. I normally don't get a frozen cocktail, but this one did not disappoint! I ordered the best chicken salad, the SOB Salad that I would just drive back for this salad!! My girlfriend ordered the party fowl sandwich which also comes with the best fries and she loved it!! Definitely will be visiting again! read more

Great food, great service. Kids chicken tender is huge! My husband and i spilt the pulled pork meat on top of the burger with a side salad. It was very big. A few games for kids to play while you wait for food. Justin from Hyatt recommended 10/10 read more

Service here was excellent. Gabby took care of us She was very friendly, provided excellent guidance when we were trying to decide what to order, and was very attentive ( never let our drinks disappear before she offered refills). One of the best servers we have had in San Diego. Food was good. Not great. Brisket was not as juicy as I would liked. A little dry. But the baby back ribs were pretty good. The portions were very good size and I did like their baked beans and potato salad. The wife had a lot of fries with her order. Price seemed very reasonable for the amount of food provided and Gabby suggested a frequent customer program that saved us more. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. read more

Went to mini golf nearby & was craving BBQ after! I came in with pretty low expectations with it being in such a popular area - like who's going to get great BBQ at Mission Beach? WELL I WAS WRONG! Our server was consistently checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. If we had any questions, she would always answer everything patiently. Sometimes when you're being served, you can tell it's just a job but our server really made you feel taken care of in a genuine way. We got the 2 meat BBQ plate (hot links & brisket), chicken tenders & TJ Burger. The BBQ plate came with hot links - the most pleasant experience that these hot links had bits of jalapeño AND cheese in them. They were succulent with a kick. I'm still craving them as I write this and it's been months later. The brisket was tender and I like all the sauces they have you can choose from. The TJ burger has a roasted jalapeño on it which makes it sooooo good. It was packed with ingredients & was well balanced. The chicken tenders were huge & had the right amount of crisp. Great job Coaster Saloon! read more

Surprisingly good food, friendly service, fun Christmas decor! Definitely recommend and will come back if in the area.

After dancing by the beach, we decided to get some food and this joint was within walking distance and was still open. I had this spot on my list to try, but didn't realize it was located by the roller coaster haha. There was 3 of us and we decided to share the party of 2! This platter is served with Texas toast, house pickles, onions, and comes with brisket, smoked pulled pork, bbq chicken breast, and 3 sides! For our sides, we chose fries, green beans, and mac n cheese! It didn't look like much, but it was a lot of meat! The sides were filling and everything was good. The brisket was tender and flavorful. Service was okay at first, but got friendlier as the night went on. read more

I don't understand why a dish that can be meatless has meat! BBQ restaurants already have plenty of meat-why not have some side dishes that can be enjoyed by people who don't eat meat (pork, specifically, in my case). The potato salad, collard greens, and baked beans ALL have pork. So, I ordered a pastrami sandwich. There was one slayer of meat! Considering that I substituted two meats (pulled pork and ham) in the Kuba sandwich for only one meat (pastrami), I should have been given a bit more meat. The meat that I was given was very fatty, too. By the time I forked off all of the fat, I could only eat 1/2 of the sandwich (there wasn't enough meat left for the other 1/2). Also, the fries (frozen) were overcooked and dry. The waitress simply said, "Sorry," and walked away. I don't plan on coming back... read more

We unpacked and everything was great. Brisket was super tender. Cornbread was delicious. Brisket chilli was delightful...hearty with a kick! And the beans were very good. My husband even complimented the bbq sauce. Will definitely be on our SD list of places to eat when we come back! read more

This place was just alright. We got the tri tip special and were not super impressed. It was a bit dry and bland and expensive for the quality.

It did the job but likely wouldn't go back for the food. read more
