I'll start by saying that it's definitely on the pricey side for the overall experience. One thing worth mentioning is that you get a discount on food with a Golden Acorn Players Card, which definitely helps a little with the price. When I sat down, the dining room was practically empty. The atmosphere is very quiet and casual, and there's nothing particularly high-end about the dining room or overall experience. Also, just a heads-up: the tomahawk steak has been taken off the menu. My waiter provided great service and did everything perfectly. I asked him what he recommended, and he told me I had to try the open-faced sandwich because it was something he personally liked. I decided to go with his recommendation and ordered that along with a coffee. For how slow the restaurant was, it did take quite a while for my food to come out. That being said, I'd rather wait a little longer and have the food come out right than have something rushed and poorly prepared. From the time I sat down until I left, I was probably there for around 2 hours. So, if you're traveling down the 8 Freeway and are in a hurry, I'd probably pass on this one. When the sandwich finally came out, it was massive and came with a large serving of fries. The sandwich itself was decent, although I will say it tasted pretty salty. The fries, however, tasted fresh and were probably my favorite part of the meal. Overall, the restaurant is clean and the service is good. I just wasn't completely sure what was going on in the kitchen, especially considering how long the food took to come out when the restaurant was practically empty. If you're in the area, I'd give it a try -- maybe order something different from what I had. For me, though, the experience was just so-so for the price. The Players Card discount definitely helps, but I still think the restaurant is a little expensive for what you get.

So, I grabbed a room across the street at the Mt Laguna Lodge and ate many of my meals at The Outpost. I am going to be completely honest here... I fell in love with this place because of so many reasons, but mainly because it took care of "my people"... yes, the backpackers. The service was so incredible. From the friendly guys in the back on the grill supplying me with ingredient information to the professionalism of the lovely young lady working the register... to the barkeeps to an amazingly talented woman from San Diego who was the musical talent one evening... I seriously don't feel you could assemble a more amazing cast to encounter all in one place. The food... what kind of 5-star review of a restaurant would be complete if you didn't mention the food? Well, it was equally as great ... I found no reason to claim that the selections I purchased were anythjng less than flawless.... yeah, flawless. With a lot of people coming up from Greater San Diego on the weekends, they put out some incredibly amazing BBQ offerings (but only on the weekends). I never wanted to leave and they probably thought I was moving to the mountain beeeeecause mosat backpackers stay overnight ans then they are gone. Not me, lol. I need to say that no proper review of this business would be complete without saying that the husband and wife team running the place were well beyond super cool to me. Oh, and you know you stayed in town a good long time when you leave knowing all about little league teams having games canceled because of the weather and the history of the local structures. Fast forward almost a full year, and now... needless to say that I was pretty bummed out when I did a spur of the moment, 3-hour drive to Mt. Laguna (Saturday, March 7, 2026) for a re-experience, only to find The Outpost closed due to a septic leak. I am sure hoping that they will have this all fixed up soon... especially with the Pacific Crest Trail hiker season having launched on March 1 (it runs through May 31). Since the people that run this place are awesome folks, I would hate as much for them to miss out on their potential income as I would be disappointed for the hikers who may fail to have the chance to have the excellent experience that I had in 2025. Best advice: Call ahead to ensure they're open. My fingers are crossed... Respectfully, I Remain, "Trail Chef" P.C.T. 2025

The restaurant is located in courtyard of the hotel. The dining is mostly outdoor in a wonderful outdoor courtyard and then there's some dining inside. They have large tables for groups and they have really nice decor and a rustic and farmhouse design element. This seems to be a "farm to table" restaurant. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and sourced locally. Our server was very nice. She was able to give us very good suggestions and answer any questions that we had about the menu. We ordered: Blue Corn Sopes, Mole Chicken, Wedge Salad with Steak added, Zataar Bowl with Chicken added, and 2 Poblano Burgers. They also have mocktails and I opted to have one, the "Afterglow". It's an outdoor patio so just be prepared because there are a lot of trees in the courtyard where you dining. There were several times when we saw cute little green bugs land on our hair or on our skin or on our clothing or on the table. Because we're in a really nice nature promoting environment, it added to our experience and was kind of nice. Also, there are many tables and there is the potential for several groups of people to also be dining around you. It makes the dining experience a lot more enjoyable because everybody's really having a good time talking and enjoying themselves and their groups. My poblano burger was delicious. I'm glad that I made that choice. I heard that: the wedge salad was also good, zataar bowl with chicken was ok, Blue Corn Sopes were ok, and the Mole Chicken was ok. I actually appreciated the freshness of the ingredients and that the food wasn't overpowering and super flavorful, but just right. At the end of the meal, for dessert, I ordered the cream puff with ice cream. Another person in our group ordered a vanilla latte. The cream puff was just ok. It had more of a biscuit texture instead of a fluffy and light cream puff texture. The homemade ice cream was ok. It was vanilla bean and it just was ok. We really enjoyed our dining experience here. Our server was outstanding and she was able to check on us very frequently just in case we missed anything. In this small town and probably all towns in the vicinity, this is definitely THE 5-star dining experience. I appreciated it and was happy to experience it.

The food alone is five star worthy and it's a special treat to be able to be there and enjoy the experience. Ok, here is a summary of the dishes we tried: Chicken Quesadilla- this item is probably the most bang for your buck. It will fill you up for only $22. Not even on the same gourmet level as the other menu choices, nevertheless it is good. Fries- excellent non greasy and nicely cooked, with notes of potatoes. Fruit Bowl- very nice and refreshing fresh fruit chunks with surprise additions of jacima and cucumber that actually work! Avocado Toast-great bread, lots of nicely sliced perfectly ripe avocado, a good breakfast portion. Ricotta Toast- Great presentation as well as being a great breakfast. The Cara Cara Oranges on top really make this dish. Elote: No doubt, the best elote I've had. Exceeds the Mexican versions by leaps and bounds. Quesadilla Flor de Calabaza-Simply delicious and beautiful. The squash blossoms are very subtle but the other ingredients make for an exceptional dish. Watermelon Gazpacho- Really a burst of many flavors, this complex cold soup will not disappoint. An amazing way to start a meal. Pozole- I loved this soup. The hominy remains firm, and there is lots of pork shoulder in there. Imperial Caesar-This is a good variation of a true Caesar because the anchovy taste is carried forward by the bread crumbs. Great dressing, everything was fresh. French Toast- A fabulous creation that surprisingly was not too sweet. Beautiful presentation, marvelous flavors. Spring Vegetable Potato Hash- A hearty breakfast that features perfectly cooked buttered potato's, squash, peppers and onions with a side of avocado. Bacon- The bacon here is really good, it is thick and meaty with spot on taste and aroma. Steak and Eggs- You get a rather decent portion of their amazing steak. Eggs cooked perfect of course. Carnitas Tacos- A nice pool side snack, not very large but tasty. Guacamole- Another good pool side snack, their version is creative and very tasty. Chips were not greasy, thank you, Market Fish- Red Snapper was really well presented and quite delicious. A bit small for $55. Nicely spiced! Jacumba Ribeye- one of the best steaks I've had. Unexpected tenderness from a rib eye, on par with a loin steak. Flavor was amazing and very "Steak". Well trimmed, no fat or gristle. Poblano Burger- I would come back here just for this burger, it's right up there with the best of the premium burgers. Forget the trendy smash burger BS, this burger is an inch thick and cooked all the way through at a perfect medium, as I requested. The patty is juicy and very flavorful yet the bun hold up well to the end. The bun is also not overly fluffy, you get the taste of meat, not bread. I could not decide fries or salad so the server brought out both. Harissa Carrots- Wow, these are wonderful. I never thought I'd rave on about carrots but here we are. Served on a bed of delicious humus this dish is just outstanding. Fideo de Cameron-very nice sized shrimp that are excellent, accompanied by a great sauced pasta. Tabouleh- This serving brings forth new flavors to a typically boring side. Churraco Taco- Vanilla bean ice cream in a chocolate waffle taco. Creative and delicious. Profiterol- A delicious an beautiful version of a cream puff but so much more. Affogato- very good, but I would not order it unless the server is Richard. He knows how to use the espresso machine, apparently the others do not. Unless it is Richard DO NOT ORDER A LATTE! It will be weak and tasteless. The juices are fresh and carefully crafted, The zero proof drinks are all pretty awesome concoctions by the talented bar tender. Be sure to ask for a fly fan, we used two, you may need three. The flies are not a problem when the misters are on.
