Personal opinion but I wish the pizza crust had more seasoning. This place is nice to hangout with buddy's. The food photos are after we ate and took home to go. When the food was served it looked a lot nicer!

This used to be the spot for our family. The wings were always a 10/10 and the pizza was amazing,…read morewe came here often because we loved the food. Over the last few visits, though, the wings haven't been the same. Each time we ordered them, we thought maybe it was just an off night, but now it seems like this might be how they're made. The flavor just isn't there anymore, the texture has been harder, and they're not as spicy as we remember. The pizza is still okay, but we remember it being much juicier and more flavorful in the past.

(This is literally the only place I've found that has carajillos on the menu.) Brussels sprouts are crisp but not greasy. I ordered a side of gyros and got a decent-sized portion. My hubby ordered a meat-free pizza for Lent, and was still happy with it. (They have gf and cauliflower crusts too, so !) We have both decided that this is the place for pizza in Santee. The weather is perfect in the spring for outdoor dining. There are shades for privacy since the restaurant's got grocery store traffic. The throwback rock music suits the establishment, and isn't too loud if you want a good convo. There are also lots of TVs both inside and out. Today's server, Lizzy, was so amazing! Super attentive, patient with questions, and quick to offer refills. And so relaxed and cheerful for a Friday afternoon! Thanks for a really nice dining experience, Lizzy!

Nah man, we don't need to return to Junction 52. It just wasn't very good. The price point didn't…read morehit either. We were seated on the patio. The NFL Wildcard game was on all the TVs, so that was a plus. We started with drinks. A pint of Buenaveza was $7, which is relatively normal pricing. But 9 bucks for a pint of Ashland Seltzer is crazy. 2 Spicy Chicken Deluxe Sliders $16 Pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, house sauce and shoestring fries. They were decent, but not even remotely spicy. Chicken was cooked well with crunchy exterior and not dried out inside. Zero spice. If anything, the sauce on them was sweet. 2 Double Double Wagyu Beef Sliders $18 American cheese (subbed pepper jack), grilled onions, house sauce and shoestring fries. Inedible. Two overcooked hockey pucks in a bun. Two bites were all I could stomach. 18 bucks for burnt burgers. The fries were good and plentiful. I appreciated the pickle wedge. Service was sluggish at best. At one point we had to flag down a different server and ask to have ours return. We had been waiting, with empty drink glasses, to order our meals. She was friendly enough, just not very attentive. Nah, don't need to return.

We have been coming here for years. Phil's has the best bbq in San Diego! I love their pulled pork…read moreand their onion rings. They always have the friendliest staff too. The place gets super busy after 11:30 on Sundays (and many other times). I have waited outside for a half hour at their Sports Arena and former San Marcos location. We buy their barbecue sauce almost every time we are there! I am kind of a barbecue snob. Their barbecue sauce has the perfect balance of sweet and smokey. Also, they make regular cornbread- not fancy or spicy- just normal yummy cornbread. It's a big, lively place. This location is nice because they have a bar in the corner, and a separated room on the far end (like a giant sunroom). Even though you order and pickup at the front, there's staff everywhere to help out or get your more sauce!

So, I hate to say it, but I wasn't that impressed. I was looking forward to trying the sandwiches…read morehere, and pair it with a nice cold IPA, which I did I will say, the branded IPA is really good. Crisp, not too hoppy, but loaded with flavor. I went with the Baja beef sandwich, strips of beef, onions, and jalapeños, griddle together, and then top with cheese, loaded into a French roll. On the surface looked good, but perhaps I was needing to try one of the cold sandwiches, which I will do next time. Like I said, it wasn't bad, but maybe my expectations were a little too high, I do resolve to try this place again, next time going with one of the turkey options, they had plenty. in the meantime, I enjoyed half the sandwich, I'll bring home the rest and maybe Inc. into an egg breakfast tomorrow.. I did enjoy the vibe, the ambience, staff was courteous and nice, the place was clean. I look forward to coming back.

Every dish that came out was hot, well-presented, and tasted like it was made with real care. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. What really stood out to me was how clean the entire place is. From the tables to the floors to the restrooms, everything was spotless. That alone makes a huge difference when you're enjoying a meal. And the service? Top tier. Lupita went above and beyond. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. She made sure everything was perfect, checked on us at just the right times, and had such a positive attitude that it elevated the whole experience. Great food, clean environment, and outstanding service. I'll definitely be coming back -- and asking for Lupita again. Highly recommend.

Sometimes servers can check in a little too often and interrupt conversation, but the staff here does a great job of being attentive without being intrusive. They are fast, intentional, and always friendly. Now for the food, it's delicious. Their specialty rolls never miss. The Sexy Roll will always be my favorite. The edamame and miso soup are also great appetizers to start with. The prices are a bit high, so we tend to come here more for special occasions or date nights, but the quality makes it worth it. Overall it's a great spot with consistent service and really good sushi.

We dine at Tabu Sushi in Santee often. Every visit I've gotten a roll, sashimi and/or a hand roll…read more This time I switched it up (on the recommendation of friends) and ordered the Spicy Shrimp Ramen $16. Excellent recommendation. Spicy garlic broth with thin wavy noodles and shrimp. The broth was rich and notably spicy. The shrimp were plump and very tasty. My only complaint was there were only three shrimp in the entire bowl. Outside of that it was a very generous portion and really good ramen. I added a side of steamed rice for a $3 upcharge. Didn't need it. I wasn't going to go without sushi, so I also ordered the Tuna Roll $8.00. Basic tuna and rice. Nothing special, no sauces or anything but cured the crave. We opened with the Creamy Lobster appetizer. It is pricey at $28.00 so it is a once in a while splurge. We used the excuse that it was Valentine's Day. LOL! Baby lobster lightly fried tempura style topped with special sauce. This is one of our favorite things on the menu. Perfectly fried and the sauce is divine! It requires 20 minutes cook time so plan accordingly. Becky chose her favorite and her go-to the Crunchy Roll $15.00 Shrimp tempura, krab, avocado, and cucumber, topped with tempura crumbs, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. She loves this roll and will never not get it. She added a side of Chicken Fried Rice $7.00. She likes to take a few bites then take the rest home for her lunches. She'll get a solid three or four meals out of it. Service at the bar was outstanding. Becky was given a small heart-shaped box of chocolates for Valentine's Day. We thought that was a nice touch.

Overhyped for What You Get…read more I honestly don't understand the hype around Raising Cane's. I finally gave it a shot after hearing so many people rave about it, and it was pretty disappointing. The chicken was dry, period. That's the main thing they serve, so it's kind of hard to overlook. The Cane's sauce is the only thing that really stood out as good -- it carries most of the flavor of the meal. The fries are mid at best, nothing special. The bread is literally just plain Texas toast with butter, which is fine but not exactly exciting. Even the sweet tea wasn't very sweet, which feels like a miss for a place that leans into Southern-style food. I really don't know why kids love Cane's so much. There are so many other places that serve chicken that tastes way better and offer more variety. Honestly, KFC feels like a better bang for the buck, which says a lot. Maybe it's just the hype machine working overtime, but for me this one didn't live up to it.

Very disappointing experience…read more My husband and I were asked to leave after briefly being in the restroom together -- which are non-gendered restrooms -- while he was assisting me with checking my blood sugar levels. This was a medical necessity to ensure my safety. Monitoring blood sugar is not something that can reasonably or appropriately be done out in public, and there was no private space offered or available at the bar to accommodate this medical need. Throughout the evening, I had used the same restroom multiple times with female friends without any issue. The only time staff intervened was when my husband was present specifically to help with a medical situation. We are older adults and long-standing, active members of this community. We rarely go out -- this was for a friend's birthday, something we do maybe once a year. We were with a group of friends who are also older adults, all of whom had been there for some time, simply sitting together and minding our own business, not interacting with or disturbing other patrons. Being removed in front of our friends, without any conversation, clarification, or discretion, was deeply embarrassing and upsetting. A simple, private question or a moment of understanding could have avoided this entirely. I hope management uses this as an opportunity to better train staff on handling medical situations with compassion, discretion, and consistency.
