A perfect 5. Just a fabulous restaurant to find. We started with cocktails - the bartender has a great pour - with chips and an amazing refried bran mix with, I have no idea - but it was delicious. It was also free and we enjoyed every bite. We shared a citrus ceviche and I thought I was in heaven. The ceviche was perfect - fresh, tasty, spiced perfectly and we ate every bite! Staff recommended we split a steak and that was perfect. The salad, loaded mashed potatoes and steak were so delicious. Lizbeth provided good service, as did everyone else at the restaurant. We will certainly be back. An excellent 'steak house' with multiple seafood options. Great service, great cocktails, phenomenal ceviche, good steak - we have no complaints, only praise. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended. read more

Hospitality at its best! While visiting beautiful San Diego, we were craving a great steak--and with so many options, we're so glad we chose Grandson Steaks. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance: upscale yet relaxed and inviting for everyone. With the gorgeous weather, we opted for outdoor seating, and it was stunning. The attention to detail--from the coordinated colors of the furniture and dishware to the unique textures of the glassware and even the napkins--created a beautifully cohesive experience. This is the perfect spot for date night, a special lunch with friends, or a family outing. The owner, Roger, personally came out to greet us and offered helpful tips on navigating the menu so we could get the most out of our experience. And the food did not disappoint. The service was prompt and thoughtfully attentive. We started with the pork belly chicharrones and ceviche--both excellent. For our main, we had the Prime Family Ribeye, and it was unbelievably tender... the kind of dish that makes you want to thank the chef personally. If you're in San Diego, this place is a must-try. 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

Loved the food here! The tacos were the star of the show. Loved the Sonoran style with the thin bistec. The Carajillos were a perfect nightcap too. The ambiance outside was nice although the service was ok, not the best flow. 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

My husband, myself and another couple were looking for a dinner spot in Liberty Station on a Friday night. It was about 8:30 and we saw that it had closed at 9, but it was still pretty packed, so we decided to give it a try I guess the word I would use to describe our experience is "strange". We were greeted and seated outdoors readily. There we studied the menu, which was definitely unusual. It had some appetizers, salads, three types of steaks, and an eclectic selection of tacos, as well as a few other items. For appetizers we chose the shrimp fritters and the chips and guacamole. The chips and guacamole was a very small appetizer. We did ask for more chips, as that was needed, but it is probably really only enough for two people to share. I will say that the guacamole had a nice flavor. The shrimp fritters were not at all what I would consider fritters, but more lightly battered shrimp with a sauce. However, they also had a good flavor. Our server was nice and gave me a few white wines to taste so I could make my selection. I liked the fact that they did serve wine from Valle Guadaloupe, which I don't see in too many local restaurants. The liquor selection was quite limited, but two members of our party had cocktails that they enjoyed. It was tough to decide what to order for dinner. After reading the menu and talking to our server, it appeared that some of the taco selections came with two tacos and some of the tacos came with one. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted and how to have the right amount of food. I wanted the octopus taco, but it came with only one and if I added the shrimp tacos (two) it would have been too much food. Also, I had no interest in the marrow that came with the octopus taco. After, contemplation, I chose the shrimp and bacon tacos. I seemed odd that they came a' la carte only. My cousin had the ribeye and she stated that it was cooked to her liking. My husband enjoyed his burger, though didn't find anything notable about it. The other patrons were starting to leave. I had asked our server for more water, but she did not return. Another staff member stopped by to politely let us know that the kitchen was closing to see if we wanted anything else. We declined, but then I asked again for water. At that point, we were just left outside while they cleaned and worked on closing. It was clear that we were forgotten about, as we were waiting for our check. After some time, I think they realized that they had left us, and brought us a flan on the house to make up for the wait. It was nice, but it was brought with three spoons instead of four, which was odd. All in all, the food was good, but the menu was limited and service was a bit challenging. I'm uncertain of the vision of the restaurant. It's not really a steakhouse, nor is it a taco shop. 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

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

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

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

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

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.

Drop in for a casual meal at the bar or reserve a table for a special occasion...you won't be disappointed! read more

Had a lovely lunch today at Grandson with a couple friends after the ArtWalk. It was a warm day, but we sat on the back patio, chose a table in the shade, and there was a nice breeze back there. Our server Christian was awesome. He was friendly & attentive & made sure we always had water. He was so thoughtful that when one of us moved to the other side of the table to get out of the sun that was creeping in, he opened up an umbrella without us even having to ask, making sure we stayed comfortable in the shade (and even adjusted it later when the sun started to move in again). I feel like those sorts of things are rare these days, so I definitely appreciate it. They had a nice selection of wines from California and a dedicated section for Valle de Guadalupe wines, from which I chose the Concha y Lola sparkling rosé. Loved! It was fruit-forward & refreshing on a warm day, and it paired perfectly with the food. We had the guac & chips, tuna tartare, and the shrimp fritters. The guac was tasty & and the perfect size for the 3 of us to share. We asked for more chips & Christian happily obliged. We all enjoyed the tuna tartare & it was also a good size to share. And my new favorite thing: the shrimp fritters! Not at all what this southern girl expected a fritter to be, but they were so freaking delicious that we each ate two...and then promptly put in a second order. Lunch also came with a couple little jars of yummy sauces on the side that added some deliciously flavored heat. 5/5 highly recommend. 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

My family and I have been in San Diego for the last two days. We love great new spots to eat. We've tried a few places since we've been here and Grandson steaks has been the most outstanding place to eat so far!! The food is fresh, well presented and delicious!! The hospitality of the staff and the owner were courteous, friendly, welcoming, and paid attention to every detail of your needs. The restaurant was also elegant and inviting. I definitely recommend you to come eat and enjoy the ambiance and the food! Next time we come to San Diego and the family's asking "Where shall we eat?" I know what my answer will be! 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.

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

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

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

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

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
