    $34.00 (before tax & tip) for two burgers: Patty Issues (3 patties) and This Burger Understands Me…read more(2 patties). I'll definitely be back for the bar, the pinball, and those burgers! We walked in and found out that they have a strict age limit, which I discovered when they insisted on scanning my ID into a machine. I'm closer to the tomb than the womb, so I'm not entirely sure what they were expecting to find. But apparently, the machine needed to verify that I'm legally old enough to be there. Afterward, the bartender thanked me by name. My person who is closer to the womb than the tomb forgot their ID. It could have been Justin Bieber, or myself for that matter, but it wasn't going to happen. The burgers would have to be, to go. First impression is the decor is classic, and the place was absolutely immaculate. Later, I noticed the bathrooms were spotless, and perhaps most importantly, there was no graffiti on the walls. It's a class act establishment where civilization survives. There's a back covered patio surrounded by ferns, a great game room, and then the backyard where the food trailer is located. It was Sunday around 2pm, and while talking to the bartender, they mentioned that they had wings out for happy hour and the games. But I had my sights set on the Wagyu burgers. If I must say so myself, it was an excellent choice on my part. The patties were perfectly seasoned, and the toppings mixed with the Wagyu juices to create a delicious little sauce. I happened to have some chips underneath the burger, and they basically became the lucky recipients of all that wonderful burger grease. Very, very yummy. Walking around while waiting for my food, one can't help but notice that the bourbon selection is fantastic. While my person was booted, I can still say that all the employees were cordial, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. No attitude, no nonsense just good service. While it's listed as a dive bar, it's way too chic for that classification. I love a welcoming bars with great burgers, an excellent bourbon selection, and enough character to keep me coming back. Which I plan on doing in force!

    I started coming to Holy Family because it is close to my house and the priest at my old church was…read more90 or older and sounded like Mumbles from Dick Tracy. This church has a fast pace to it and the congregation seems really tight nit. The church is unassuming from the outside. Once inside, it is rotunda-like in appearance with most of the pews pretty close to the altar. Fr. Peter does a great job of connecting with the congregation by speaking about issues that are present in society. It's super easy to follow him, because he adds humor into what he's saying. The bulletin is pretty informative also. That's one of the things that should be a no brainer. If you want people to come to your church and keep coming back, there should be announcements of activities to build a sense of community. Holy Family seems to do a good job of that! Lastly, and most importantly haha - the service is like 45-50 minutes tops. None of those marathon mass sessions that plague some other churches where everyone in the congregation is falling asleep after the first 15. Looks like I've found my new church!

    I came here for mass the other week for the first time. They have a pretty early Saturday vigil…read moremass compared to other churches in the area. I realized when I got there that there's a large Vietnamese community. The church is really nice inside, it's smaller but has a nice bright interior. The priest was great, good homily too. Parking lot is a bit tight luckily there's an overflow lot that a easier to get in and out of.

However, when a bunch of my elders, whom I greatly respect, give up their Saturday gaming and agree to get their requisite whites dirty to show a bunch of hoodlums how to play, they have my attention and best effort. Forget that we may or may not have been drinking and we may have made an unsavory joke or two in what we were informed, quite promptly, is a family establishment (can establishments be a well groomed grassy playing court in a park?). Those little snafus aside I was going to give this lopsided ball rolling my best go. Did you know that not only are the balls lopsided but they are weighted heavier to one side so that there will always be a curve out or in when you roll them? I didn't either but thanks to my stellar lesson I do now!! So, I roll the balls for the first time and, wow, its fun! In all of my alcohol induced glee I decided it was a great idea to take on the ultimate challenge and play the US Lawn Bowling Champion. And. I. Beat. Him. What??? Yep, the crowd went wild. I won a very nice polo shirt. Bells were rung, I, one by one, shook the hand of each of the lawn bowling club members present that day, who also happen to have a great sense of humor about these things. I was invited to watch this very same player compete in the World Championship happening in San Francisco this September. Lawn Bowling. Who knew?? I am going to buy some white pants and do this again. Yes. I am purchasing white pants. If that doesn't say love I don't know what does.

    After years of walking by the lawn bowling club and seeing the older folks decked out in all white,…read morehappily rolling balls across a meticulously coiffed field, I finally decided to try it. I saw a daily deal for a party for 10 at the lawn bowling club and jumped on it. When we arrived on the day of the party, we were met by a handful of ... well, lawn bowling people. They were all super helpful. They helped us all pick out our "bowls" (a set of 4 lawn bowling balls that fit your hand) then we went to the field to play. They explained the rules (there are a LOT -- way more than I expected!) and then they helped us while we played. The bowls are oblong and have a weight on one side, which means you have to really think about where you are aiming. The helpers were all patient and nice, but if I had any small recommendations, it would be that they hang back after a while and just let us play without critiquing and commenting on every shot. But they were just trying to be helpful. Everyone in my group had a great time and some even signed up for a membership. There was a big discount for the membership that day ($68), but normally it is $165/yr. With a membership, you can pretty much go to play whenever you want. If you are curious about lawn bowling, you should give it a try. Call them up and see if they have any special deals or rates for a first timer who wants to try it out. It's a great way to spend a day in the lovely San Diego sun. (And the all-white clothing is only required in Sundays!)

Delicious tacos and large hand size portioned tacos! My favorite was the Carne Assad tacos and the Birria Taco that does come with a small cup of consome. Amazing flavors for both. They also have drinks specials and the margaritas are perfect for a hot day out. They have a small quaint indoor seating and a large patio area which both are decorated so sweet and have a very inviting hostess and bartender's.

We were seated by the host who had a…read moredry, rude and very unpleasant attitude, kinda like "I don't want to be here, but I have to be" No, hi, greeting or anything. We waited at our table for a while (mind you it was empty) then finally our waiter came over, we asked him a couple questions then he proceeds to tells us there is no more breakfast, then with an attitude he looks at his watch and says "well, it is 2pm" after that I just gave up on anything with this restaurant. We ordered a coffee then he proceeds to give us this whole explanation on why they don't serve coffee or don't have any milk for the coffee. Coffee comes and he brings us oat milk for a regular coffee that had no flavor. We got up and left. When we walked out we said bye to the host and again with her dry attitude just say "goooodddbyye" To the Manager/Owner of this restaurant. You need to train your hosts to have good customer service and a better attitude. If she is the first person your customers interact with, you're going to lose customers. I gave it 2 stars because the outside decor is cute.
