    One of my favorite go-to Vallejo spots. The beers are good, the view is amazing, and the food is…read morealways on point. My favorite lunch order is the Chicken Caesar Wrap - perfect ratio of chicken, lettuce, cheese, dressing, and croutons. The wrap is always well constructed and never falls apart mid-consumption. When I moved away from Vallejo, I thought about this wrap often. For dinner, the wings are always a solid choice - korean bbq, bbq, buffalo - all equally good. The wings are a good size, an even mix of drums and flats, the chicken is always moist and the sauce ratio is perfect. Best wings in Solano County. The M.I.B.C. Burger is another favorite, always cooked as requested, the meat is super flavorful and the toppings - cheese, onion, sauce, and arugula fit perfectly between the brioche bun. This is also served with fries - always served the right amount of crisp. For beers, I prefer to drink the War Bond. However, I can vouch for the fact that all of the beer here is good. Also, all of the staff here are super friendly and helpful. Best neighborhood bartenders, best views of the sunset. We are lucky to have this spot in Vallejo.

    The food was good overall. We started with the fish and chips, and the fish was exactly how we like…read moreit--light, crispy, and coated in a delicate, crunchy batter (think Sardine Can). The onion rings were good too, although I wish they used the same batter as the fish. The food wasn't served quite as hot as I would have preferred, and they were pretty conservative with the condiments. That may be intentional given the location and the likelihood of non-customers helping themselves if everything was left on the tables. I asked whether the beets in the beet salad were freshly roasted or canned, and I was told they were fresh, so I ordered it. It was good, but something wasn't quite as fresh as I expected. It may have been the walnuts--I think they would have benefited from being toasted--or perhaps another ingredient. I'm very particular when it comes to beet salads. I also ordered the crab and artichoke melt, and this was the star of the meal. It was absolutely divine. Rich, buttery crab and melted cheese layered on thinly sliced, perfectly toasted ciabatta--it was pure comfort food. I was surprisingly full after just two bites, partly because the portions are generous and I'd already made a dent in the beet salad. I skipped drinks this visit, but I'll definitely be back to check out the rotating taps and wine selection. The staff were laid-back, incredibly friendly, and genuinely helpful. The setting is one of the restaurant's biggest draws. The outdoor patio offers a beautiful bird's-eye view of the ferries arriving at Mare Island, making it the perfect place to linger over a meal. Inside, there's a large, inviting bar where it's easy to strike up a conversation with another guest, or you can grab one of the window seats and simply enjoy the waterfront views. I'll definitely be back.

    We stopped at Crush Lounge for a late lunch, and it was totally perfect for our needs…read more The service was prompt and friendly. I ordered a BLT sandwich with French fries. And it was so good- lots of crispy bacon and fresh tomato and lettuce. The bun was fresh and soft but held up well (read not soggy) against the tomato and mayo. My husband opted for the soft pretzel, was was piping hot upon arrival and came with two sauces- a mustard sauce and a cheese sauce. We finished it all. The sandwich was so large, I took half back to our room to eat for later. Crush Lounge also has a small bowling alley with several lanes. We didn't get to try it as it was reserved for an event, but this is such a cool feature of the property. This is a solid spot for a quick bite to eat or for drinks when staying at the Meritage.

    Crush has a lively, welcoming vibe with a full bar, plenty of table seating, and comfortable lounge…read morechairs gathered around an indoor gas fireplace that adds a nice touch of ambiance. There's music playing, but it's at a perfect level where you can still easily hold a conversation. The bar area also has multiple TVs if you're looking to catch a game. The space offers more than just drinks, with a small bowling alley (six lanes) and a pool table, making it a great spot to hang out. Bathrooms are located just outside the lounge, down the hall near the elevators. Service has consistently been solid during my visits. Staffing has never been an issue, and it's always been easy to get help at the bar. The drinks are well-made and flavorful, though on the pricier side. The only food I've tried so far is the carnitas nachos, and they're definitely worth ordering. Overall, it's a fun spot for both adults and kids, and it's usually our first stop after checking in.

    Came for their Taco Tuesday special! Was seated very quickly & noticed how busy it was for dining…read morein, at the bar and people picking up to-go orders. I couldn't decide on how many tacos to order so I went with 6, 3 chicken & 3 steak. I should've stuck with 4...I ended up taking my leftovers home. Loved the salsa bar, I think there were at least four different choices. I chose the green and red chipotle salsas. The chicharron/guacamole appetizer was perfect for our group as well. Big pieces of pork! We definitely will return!

    I had been hearing about Jalapeños for years but never got around to trying it. Since I was hungry…read moreand wanted to grab something to eat before running errands, I finally decided to stop in. When you walk in, you seat yourself and a server brings you a menu. My waiter was really friendly and welcoming. He checked on me right away, asked if I knew what I wanted to order, and brought out water and chips. The customer service throughout my visit was excellent. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with TVs all around, a full bar, and outdoor seating. I chose a corner table where I could watch one of the soccer games on TV, which made for a relaxing lunch. The complimentary chips and salsa were good. The salsa had nice flavor without being overly spicy. I ordered the steak quesadilla plate, which came with refried beans, Spanish rice, pico de gallo, sour cream, and lettuce. My food arrived in about 10-15 minutes. The best thing on the plate was the refried beans. They were easily my favorite part of the meal. They were flavorful, creamy. The Spanish rice was also tasty. The pico de gallo was served over shredded lettuce, which was fine, although I would have preferred it on the side. The sour cream came in a small cup, which wasn't my favorite, i'm not sure if it was buttery sour cream, but it just didn't taste right. The guacamole might've been my second favorite thing on the plate.!! The steak quesadilla itself was good, but it didn't quite wow me like a quesadilla usually does. It was generously filled with steak, but I wish it had more cheese. I like my quesadillas to have a perfect balance of melted cheese and meat, and this one leaned much heavier on the steak. Even so, the steak had good flavor, and I still enjoyed the meal overall. The price was reasonable too. I believe everything came to just under $20, which felt like a good value. Before I left, they gave me a piece of candy with the receipt, which was a small but thoughtful touch that I appreciated. As I was walking out, I noticed they have different daily specials posted outside. I hadn't seen them before coming in, so now I definitely have another reason to come back and try something different. Overall, I had a great first experience. The friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, good value, and delicious refried beans made this an enjoyable visit. I'll definitely be back to check out those daily specials.

    There's not a lot of places that stay open during the week. We were in town for the long holiday…read moreweekend and not wanting to end the night, we came here. Also a recommendation from friends who's in the neighborhood. We ended taking an uber as we weren't quite sure where it was. Honestly we could have walked there....lol... It was pretty lively when we walked in. They're open till midnight I believe and we arrived about 10:30. It's not quite a dive bar but somewhat better. Theres two pool tables right when you walk in through the back. Theres the bar counter along one side. I think there's only one bar. Besides that, food is also served. A good crowd with locals when we arrived. Both pool tables were utilized and a line was set. Drinks, we got a couple of the Moscow mules which was informed that they only had one cups left. Guess people take them. A couple of those and beer and margaritas. They were quite nice. Kitchen was still open, so we put in for some good. Heard that their fish and chips were good so that was ordered and the fried pickles. Food didn't take long to arrive. Yes, the fish and chips were quite nice. Two big chunks of fish which was nice and flaky. Served with tater sauce and marinara. Fried pickles were ok, a little too salty for my liking but good. The place was fun. A lively crowd there for the same reason. Drinks and having fun. Pool table was getting utilized the whole time. Food was quite nice. A fun local bar.
