Incredible meal. Fish taco was excellent and ribeye was great. I really like the concept of a more casual steak restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

Had a wonderful dinner with my husband at Grandson's Steaks this week! The bone marrow and oyster appetizer were outstanding, and the ribeye prime rib was excellent. The spicy sauce was a pleasant surprise--even for someone who doesn't usually enjoy spicy food. I also love that it's family-owned. Thank you, Marcus, for the great mocktail and enjoyable conversation. We'll definitely be back! read more

The steak was tender and flavorful. Drinks were refreshing. Atmosphere was good. Service was friendly. Sides are unique for steak restaurant - such as quesadillas and guacamole. Now the downside: The service was somewhat on the slow side, but they were really busy. They probably needed an additional waiter/waitress? Idk. While I was there the couple sitting next to me wasn't served or greeted. They were about to walk out. The waitress asked them to stay and they received impeccable service - almost as if they were the only ones there. Probably the best I've ever seen. This kind of bothered me a little due to the fact they weren't the only ones there. Anyhow, I'd go back, just hope the service is better and equal. read more

Where to start? I debated 3 or 4 stars to account for being new and service being awkward. The food itself was 5 star. But the ambiance and the service could use some work. So let's talk about the food. The ribeye agua chile is one of the best things I have eaten this year. The sauce was bright and smoky and flavorful. The guacamole was plentiful. You are really getting your money's worth. The family feast is an excellent deal. Came with 8 quesadillas. They brought half as corn since I am gluten free. The ribeye was cooked to medium perfection. Came with beans and birria and adobada on the side. Odd but it worked. But back to the service. I know they are busy but we felt a little abandoned. But I will be back and hope the service improves. read more

Restaurant just opened 2 months or so ago, and it has received a lot of buzz! Rightly so! Grandson Steak is located in Liberty Station (so parking can be tough to find at times). Small eating establishment with minimal indoor seating and mostly outdoor seating (which can be challenging on rainy days). We opened with Shrimp Fritters (which were good) and Bone Barrow (fatty but lacking on flavor).. We also ordered the Ribeye Family Feast (which includes 24 oz ribeye, 1/2 pound Adobada, 1/2 pound Birria, 6 quesadillas, guacamole, fried beans, grilled peppers and onions, and 6 corn tortillas) . So much food and so filling! The steak was so good! We selected the Prime option. Service was good but she was definitely busy. Patio seating by street can be noisy with planes flying overhead, vehicles driving by and noise from nearby bar. read more

Grandson Steaks opened recently in Liberty Station in Point Loma. It was steps away from several art studios in Barracks 19 where they're all located. This space was formerly held by WildFlower restaurant, which I was not a fan of and evidently everyone else thought so too because that restaurant failed and closed. The location here is fantastic however, it's just a matter of getting it right for the new restaurant... I was reluctant coming here, as my standards for quality steak is very high. I've dined at the best steak restaurants primarily in Beverly Hills: CUT, Steak 48, and Mastros. I wanted to give Grandson Steaks the benefit of doubt and decided to visit. The restaurant was practically empty, no diners inside, but a few diners outside. The outdoor patio with the umbrellas were festive. The menu is very limited; basically one page of salad, steaks and tacos. Even though it was Taco Tuesday, I passed on tacos, and chose to order the ribeye since steaks are the house's specialty. The server Jose was helpful with menu selections. I specifically asked for the steak to be medium rare and NOT overcooked. Upon presentation, the plate looked appealing but the steak looked flat thin and overcooked. I cut through the less cooked part of the steak to find it was too hard to cut through and not even pink inside as a medium rare steak should be. Feeling angry and disappointed, I summoned the server and pointed out the tragic steak prep and rejected it back to the kitchen as it was inedible. My furbaby sensed my disappointment and just wanted to leave as we did. He The server took meticulous notes of my medium rare request but the kitchen cook didn't read the notes or doesn't know what medium rare means. Too bad because, this negative dining experience left a bad first impression in terms of the food prep. Despite a nice restaurant atmosphere and nice service staff but if the kitchen can't even get my steak order correct it's not a good start for a steak restaurant. This may be my first and last visit. read more

Service was quick. Prompt. In the historic building of liberty station, it was a nice cool summer evening. Very limited wine list. Steak for 4 is a good deal for a family. They replaced pork with another helping of birria. Taste is good, texture is good, but nothing extra ordinary. Appetizers shrimp, octopus were ok, fusion type, not authentic. read more

Grandson Steaks - Steakhouses Near Me - San Diego, California

A delicatessen in the Arts District of Liberty Station lasted less than one year and has been converted into this new casual steakhouse. Grandson Steaks was named in homage to the grandparents of the sons who own this business. Parking was available either curbside or in one of the neighboring common lots surrounding the complex of buildings. I believe they now have steady operating hours as that wasn't the case when I first tried to visit on a weeknight, only to find they had closed earlier than usual. The layout remained unchanged with a bar that could seat 10 customers to the right and then a few tables in the middle of the dining room. There were also several covered tables outside between the sidewalk and curb. Raw cuts of beef and desserts were on refrigerated display to the left where the kitchen preparation area was located. The top half of the food menu listed seven choices of tacos, three salads, and four seafood items. The bottom half displayed the three kinds of steak, a burger, sides, desserts, and non-alcoholic drinks. I ordered a Jamaica Agua Fresca after tasting a sample which wasn't too sweet. For my dinner, I selected a house cut of the Ribeye steak cooked medium rare. It came with two sides, and my picks were the Mashed Potatoes and Refried Beans. The sides were served in separate ramekins that were delivered on a round plate. An additional side of grilled onions was included. The beans were fairly standard while bacon bits were added on top of the mashed potatoes. The steak was served on a different plate that to my surprise, also contained bone marrow and two quesadillas. Those extra items were other sides that I could have chosen but did not. The kitchen was generous that evening to include the marrow and quesadillas as complimentary offerings. The steak was approximately a 16 oz serving. It was cooked well with visible grill marks. The marrow was fatty and unctuous as expected. The quesadillas contained melted cheese inside. Other than the snafu that I encountered with the business hours (unsynchronized times listed on different social media), I had a positive experience at Grandson Steaks. read more

We were at Liberty Station to try this Grandson Steak, and upon arriving, I recognized that it used to be Wildflour Delicatessen, which was here last year, in March 2025. We came here to try their Tacos, we had the RIBEYE TACO, QUESA-RIBEYE + PORKBELLY TACO, QUESA-BIRRIA TACO and OCTOPUS + MARROW, and SHRIMP BAJA COCKTAIL. All the tacos are great, good size. The Birria and the Steak are our favorites. The Birria is very tasty and Rib eye very Tender and good. The Octopus is a no for me, it's over cooked and hard. Also, I wish that the Sauce for the Tacos came out at the same time as the tacos, or the sauce was brought out first coz it's just a sauce, pour it in a container, and deliver it. We already ate 2 TACOS before they put out the sauces. Shrimp cocktail was good too. The services were great, and parking was easy. read more

Came here for dinner with a party of five on a Sunday. Newer place with a steak/Mexican vibe. Tried a few items like the grilled oysters and bone marrow which had a good ponzu sauce. Shrimp cocktail more like a ceviche, but light and delicious. Went with the $99 rib eye fest to feed my family of 4, but with 2 teenage boys it's wasn't enough so we ordered a little more, the ribeye and pork belly taco was probably the best thing we are. Cheesecake desert was better than average. Wine selection is pretty good and I like that they have some from nearby Mexico vineyards. Overall a good spot to give a try and I'll be back. Shout out to Lizbeth for her stellar service. read more

We had a fabulous dinner here over the weekend. The prices were really reasonable and the service was attentive and super friendly. We sat outside since we brought our pup. He approved! They have a nice little patio area and the weather was perfect. We had the shrimp and Birria tacos and the ribeye. We had a really yummy bottle of wine that was VERY reasonably priced. Sorry I forgot pics but trust me, it all looked as good as it tasted! We will certainly return! read more

The room is fairly small which gives it a close feel and all of the staff seemed happy that we came in even on a somewhat busy evening. I was very impressed with the blueberry whiskey sour right off the bat and the shrimp cocktail felt very fresh and almost like a ceviche. When I come back I might just load up on the ribeye and pork belly taco because it was unreal. The shrimp in the shrimp taco was generous. The New York could have used a few more minutes on the grill but was excellent with the little tortillas they gave on the side. read more

Wow! I am left speechless over this wonderful new addition to Liberty Station. Grandson Steaks is a beautifully curated food experience from the moment you walk in the door. They have a huge selection of dining options- from single tacos to platters to share. Exceptional wines are served by the glass, and the Service and staff are on point. Drop in for a casual meal at the bar or reserve a table for a special occasion...you won't be disappointed! read more

New restaurant at Liberty Station is Grandson Steaks! Specializes in quality meats like ribeye and tomahawk! Tacos are excellent; pork belly, queso birria, shrimp, fish Ensenada style, carne asada and more! Don't miss the house made sauces; smoky, spicy and delicious! Spices are deep and vibrant. The Baja shrimp cocktail is savory and bright; chopped avocado on top is the perfect finish condiment. Drinks are fair priced! Espresso drinks are well made especially the cortado. Patio seating outside is nice too! Plenty of street and free parking lot! Service is friendly and fast! read more

I showed up without a reservation but was able to get an outside table on the patio. Very nice atmosphere, although airplanes do fly over as they prepare to land at the airport. The noise is loud and interrupts conversation. The ribeye was delicious and the chef did an excellent job in cooking it to perfection. The staff is outstanding! Highly recommend although try to sit inside. read more

Food and drinks were excellent. I loved the apple rosemary agua fresca. The ribeye was great, not the best Prime Ribeye I have had in San Diego, but it was good for the price! This place is on the less pricey side for a steakhouse. Side portions are on the smaller side, not really shareable, but you can! I would recommend for them to get a bigger chip dish to serve chips in for sharing. The small bowl for chips with the guac was hard to share amongst the table. Unfortunately, service was not the best.. Friendly! But the etiquette needs work. The server would talk over us or interrupt us when trying to order or ask questions. The server forgot multiple times to refill our waters for the table, also forgot a couple drinks we had ordered, so we constantly had to remind them. We had a reservation at 8 and the restaurant closed at 9, but the ENTIRE time we felt like we were being super rushed, which took away from the nice ambiance the restaurant could have provided. There were multiple instances were our table was surrounded by table bussers, taking dishes and cleaning while we were eating, even a couple sauces and dips we were still using. I get it, if our server takes a few dishes here and there when they check in or bring us food/drink is totally okay, but to be swarmed by table bussers taking dishes and cleaning in the middle of eating took away from the experience. We also ordered extra dessert to go, but the portions in the to-go were smaller than what we had received while dining in. It should be consistent across the board, especially if you are paying the same price, you should get the same size portion. There will be pictures for reference. This restaurant has great potential and it is just barely a month and a half old, so I will give it time to work out the kinks. I am curious to see how this restaurant does in the summer time with closing on the earlier side for a steak house. Again, food is great! Loved the apple rosemary agua fresca. read more

My husband and I came for a quick dinner, we sat at the bar and Jorge was our bartender. Really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, the service really took away from our experience. Our server was friendly when he first took our order, but after that he never came back to check on us--not once--to ask how the food was, see if we needed anything, or offer more mezcal margaritas. Meanwhile, the guests sitting next to us seemed to receive much more attentive service, which made us feel overlooked and honestly a bit discriminated against. We finished our meals and had our dishes pushed aside before he finally noticed us, and even then we had to ask for the check. After that, we waited again while he continued serving and offering drinks to others, and I eventually had to wave him down and say, "can we please get the check? After we had patiently waited a while. The food was okay-- the Birria tacos were definitely the best thing we ordered but the poor service made the overall experience disappointing. It's sad because it really overshadowed the meal. read more

Grandson Steaks - Steakhouses Near Me - San Diego, California

Wow! This is a great addition to Port Loma and liberty Station! Something unique. Stopped by tonight and tried the ribeye taco and shrimp taco as well as the burger. The ribeye taco was amazing. Steak like butter. Tortilla and accoutrement flavors really elevated everything. Highly recommend the habanero sauce. Not as spicy as it sounds and incredible depth of flavor. The burger was delicious and it came with two sides. I recommend the mashed potatoes with bacon. This place is definitely affordable, especially considering the huge increases in prices in restaurants around the city. The vibe is pretty cool too. Great for date night, but also family oriented. I want to come back and order the ribeye platter where everybody can build their own tacos with different flavors. The owner was kind enough to bring us a dessert which was also authentic and just that "something different" we've been craving lately. It's open for both lunch and dinner, which is helpful. I'm really hoping this place takes off! Give it a try. read more

The kindness shown by the staff for the last minute booking was amazing! To top it off, the food was outstanding. We ordered the Guacamole and Chips and the Citrus cured Ceviche for appetizers. Both were so flavourful I only regretted that I could not stop them before our main. We finally finished with the Ribeye Family Fest (prime) it was quality cut and cooked perfectly and was well priced for the quality and quantity. Lizbeth was professional, kind and extremely welcoming. Highly recommend!!! read more

Incredible. We stopped at Liberty Public Market but nothing spoke to us so we walked to Grandson Steaks to see if it was suitable for a casual lunch. When we got there it was bright, airy, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and very welcoming staff. We ordered the vinaigrette salad, the tuna tostado, the steak taco and the steak and pork belly taco and WOW. Each bite was full of flavor and it was so clear that the ingredients were quality, including in house made tortillas. I've lived in San Diego for ten years and this was one of the best most flavorful tacos I've had. I can't recommend this place more. It's steakhouse quality food in a more inviting atmosphere. Incredible prices as well. We look forward to returning for a date night to have ribeyes. Bravo! You must try Grandson Steaks!!!! read more

I had a pretty bad experience at this restaurant. I know they just recently opened, but that's not an excuse for how disorganized everything was. To start, we ordered the "creamy" salad with ribeye. I'm not sure if they don't know their table numbers, but every time a dish came out, they walked it around asking each table who had ordered it. They first brought us the salad without the ribeye, and when they finally brought it correctly, the ribeye was the saltiest I've ever had. Next, we ordered the yellowfin tuna tostada. It actually tasted good, but the presentation looked nothing like what they show on their Instagram. The quesabirria was also good. We also ordered oysters, but when they arrived, they had already taken our utensils and didn't bring new silverware. We had to use our hands to separate the oysters from the shell. Again, the presentation didn't match their Instagram photos at all. Our third course was their grill platter, which is supposed to include 8 quesadillas, 8 tortillas, ribeye, adobada, birria, guacamole, refried beans, chiles toreados, and mashed potatoes. Once again, the ribeye was extremely salty, and we never received the chiles toreados or the adobada. At the end, we ordered tiramisu (which was actually more like a tiramisu cheesecake) and espresso martinis. They were just okay--nothing special. It's worth mentioning that after finishing our meal, we had to wait about 20 minutes before anyone came so we could order dessert and drinks. Overall, I wouldn't come back and I wouldn't recommend this place. P.S. Even after I pointed out the missing items from my order, they offered to pack them to go. I kept waiting, but they never brought them, again. Ironically, they did pack up the marrow bones (which we had already eaten) to go. read more

My family brought me here for an early Father's Day meal and I was very disappointed at the service. I wasn't paying but if I was she would not get a tip at all. Barely came by our table and when she did it was very lack luster.

Wont be letting people know about this place. Pricey place for such a cheap server. read more

Went for our anniversary (53) and thoroughly enjoyed this place. Good service, great food, and classy dining experience. Don't miss the shrimp fritters appetizers.

We won't a year to come back here, the cook on the steak was perfect. read more

Came for prime steaks & but I keep coming back for their version of tacos and the high vibes. I think I may have had every food item on the menu so far. The steaks hit the spot, and the tacos live rent free in my mind. The queso ribeye taco with pork belly, the octopus with bone marrow taco, the prime ribeye taco, and the tuna tostada are heavy hitters and I visit weekly to remember KO punch of flavvvvurrr they consistently deliver! Solid selection of beers on draft, localish wines, and gotta try their popular margarita! Service is attentive and kind, food comes out super fresh and relatively fast, and the flavors and ambiance drive an absolutely joyful experience. Quality eats with outstanding value through personable service and super reasonable pricing. Highly recommend making reservations because the word is getting out quickly about this gem and lines are becoming far more common for small groups, especially on the weekends. Lovely addition to Liberty Station with a strong culture driven family owned modern yet nostalgic casual steakhouse. The icing on top is my kids (5 and almost 2) love the food and especially the desserts here, so it's a major win for family time. Bravo to what you've already built Roger and Tommy and it's still only in their soft opening phase. Spectacular! read more

Thought we'd try this restaurant on a Saturday at 5 p.m. without a reservation (already very busy) and was so glad they were able to accomodate us with patio seating. The patio seating has a grass area buffer between the street and is great for people watching. Of course, Liberty Station is known for the noisy planes due to the proximity to the San Diego airport but has not been a deterrent over the years for the large amount of people who frequent the area. The free, easy parking is in close proximity to the shopping and restaurants. The shrimp fritters were tasty, ribeye + porkbelly taco (with added sauces) was seasoned perfectly and the ribeye steak was very tender and cooked to order perfectly. All the dishes were reasonably priced and delicious. The service was very attentive and responsive. Very positive experience and we will definitely be back. read more

Went with the family to Grandson Steaks based on a recommendation and we all truly enjoyed the food, the service and the atmosphere. We were greeted with a smile and sat immediately. My party of four tried a little bit of everything. We ordered a salad which was a nice blend of greens and well dressed. The shrimp cocktail was similar to a traditional coctel de camaron and the cucumbers and onions were crunchy and fresh. Then the main meal was the ribeye family feast. The char of the ribeye was really tasty and the sides were enjoyed by everyone. The guacamole was really good but the quesadillas with their homemade birria and adobada were really tasty. Very friendly service with tasty food makes for a really nice experience. read more

Phenomenal service! The staff was very friendly and attentive. Really nice and welcoming space, great on a nice sunny day in San Diego. The tacos are bigger than what you'd expect. The Quesa-Ribeye + Porkbelly was flavorful. The Grilled Shrimp + Bacon was tasty (great balance with the pickled red onion!). Fish Taco Ensenada was the most favorite. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Visited on a Thursday, and unfortunately the service was pretty rough. It appeared they had one waitress, two food runners, and a busser handling the entire dining room. We had to get up and retrieve our second drink order, ask multiple times for items we had already requested, and overall the restaurant felt somewhat disorganized. Hopefully it was just an off day. The food was good. Although the steaks were overcooked, and given that the family meal steaks are barely half an inch thick, they probably should only offer medium or well-done options. Even the tomahawk was cooked beyond the requested temperature. That said, the flavor was excellent and the meat was still juicy rather than dry. The burger was decent. My main complaint was that the patty didn't cover the full surface area of the bun, making it feel a bit bread-heavy. On the positive side, the beef tasted fresh and clearly wasn't a frozen patty. Overall, there were quite a few things that missed the mark, but also plenty of positives. Would I give them another chance? Absolutely. Does the food show quality and potential? Yes. If they focus on the smaller details service consistency, execution, and presentation they could become one of the standout dining spots in San Diego. In a city with so many great restaurants, being average isn't enough. They already have strong reviews, so I'm hoping my experience was simply a one-time exception. read more
