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

Coaster Saloon - TJ burger - Beer Bar Near Me - San Diego, California

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

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

Coaster Saloon - Party of 2- brisket, Smoked Pulled Pork, BBQ Grilled Chicken Breast, Texas toast, fries, Green Beans, Mac & Cheese, house pickles, onions - Beer Bar Near Me - San Diego, California

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

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

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

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. The beer and drink selection was nice and appreciate the gigantic sizes. Staff was nice and accommodating despite some weird interactions with seemingly in-training waitress. It did the job but likely wouldn't go back for the food. 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

Amazing food! Amazing service! Really cool spot. Wasn't sure what to expect with a BBQ place right by the beach but it far exceeded my expectations! read more

We did have a great experience. Street corn is the best in the business. Top 5 best coleslaw I have ever eaten. Mac and cheese is also a top 5. Great BBQ sauce. Be careful, the prices are getting high. $19 for a burger, yikes! We have no problem coming back here one day. See our YouTube channel Coolest Life. read more

The guy who sat us down was kind and considerate. I also appreciated his humor. His colleague, on the other hand, needs to take some notes about how it's done. Maybe she was still in-training? Not sure, she never introduced herself. Just showed up and stood there staring at me for a solid handful of minutes. I felt mildly uncomfortable. Food was just okay. The tri tip was pretty dry, and the Mac and cheese was bland. What I appreciated the most was that they had a "big" option for their beers. I got a kick out of their big beer mugs. read more

Came here during a Sunday afternoon during Sunday football. There's plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Getting seated was quick. Server took our orders and food came out pretty quickly. There's plenty of TVs all around so this is a great spot to watch sports. We ordered the corn nachos and added brisket and the ribs plate. Food was delicious. read more

Just came back from a weekend in Mission Beach. Staying at a resort down the street while in town for a music festival, we arrived Friday ready to kick off the weekend. Just a couple of short blocks and we found Coaster Saloon and can say honestly. Can't wait to go back. We decided to sit at the bar and were warmly greeted by the bartender Kuba. He was super friendly, made great recommendations on the menu and took great care of us. My husband ordered the wings with the dry rub and got the Carolina gold sauce on the side. He was in heaven! I opted to try one of their bbq meats and picked the hot link plate. Wow, they were delicious! As sides I got coleslaw and the bbq baked beans-was not disappointed. Shared it all with my husband and we agreed it was some of the best flavors we've had. Kuba then shared about their awesome loyalty program-immediately signed up! It was so good, we ended up coming back later that night after checking things out around the area for a night cap and to order some food to go. Thought it would be the perfect meal after a day and night at a music festival when we got back to our hotel the next night. Again Kuba took great care of us, ensuring our take out order was handled with care and packet up neatly with utensils, napkins etc. I'll tell you, it hit the spot! Husband and I went to bed happy and full! Thank you Kuba for such a great experience our first time visiting. We'll be sure to come in again soon! 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

I can't lie I was a little skeptical about this place simply, because of its location. Tourist locations & bbq on the west coast do not usually pan out to well. My older son wanted bbq, which turned out to be the best bbq spot on this side of the map without a doubt... the beans & the brisket were the star of the show for me. The wife & I had a shareable tray with chicken included which was equally as good. The smaller kids loved their burgers & my older son loved his order of loaded fries. Customer service to top it off was superb too. The manager coming out to assure we were gettin the right dishes only confirmed we made the right choice by stopping here. We definitely will return here whenever we're in the area again! read more

If you're looking for a place that's conveniently located just a few feet from the sand, this is a solid choice. I came here with my daughter, looking for a good burger. I had the Boss Hog with pulled pork, beef brisket, and fried onions. There was no shortage of meat on this burger. It hit the spot. It was nice to sit on a patio with just us on our single table. The boardwalk was only a few feet away so after lunch, we were on the beach in seconds. I would definitely visit this place again the next time I'm at Belmont Park. read more

Happened upon this place while visiting San Diego with family for my daughters 21st birthday! When we first got there it wasn't very busy but the hostess was struggling to get our party of 10 sat together. She basically said your choices are here or there. They were not willing to move extra tables. She finally resorted to asking other people to move from one table to another - which was super embarrassing for us! Very kind of them to move. Food was good. Nothing AMAZING. Beer was cold. read more
