    Hawaiian BBQ mix
    Mele C.

    Brand new Hawaiian food to Vista! Food was plentiful, fresh and delish. Got 4 coupons for future visits which is awesome. Meats could have been marinated longer for deeper flavor, but loved all the steamed veggies

    I had some opening day coupons to use so I came for dinner & it was all very yummy! I tried plate #44 chicken katsu & bbq I asked for double Mac & rice and my coupon was for a free musibi & a young coconut drink both were sooo yummy! I also tried the guava pop tart by the register that was amazing also!

    Love this hot sauce!

    Ono finally opened! I got the #44 (BBQ/Katsu Mix) so I could try a little bit of everything. The katsu was crispy and well seasoned. The bbq was yum and the veggies were a nice and fresh addition to my meal. I'd come back again! Give this place a try!

    What a wonderful grand opening! I really enjoyed the live entertainment especially the dancers. Tropical fun vibes were everywhere in celebration of this new business. All the staff were super friendly and welcoming especially those at the counter taking orders. And of course, my food was sooo yummy bursting with Island flavors. Ono!! It made me want to take a trip to Hawaii. I'll be back to try the other Aloha-style dishes. I definitely recommend Ono Hawaiian BBQ to the Yelp Community :-)

    Not as good as the L&L in San Marcos. Very tight space and the Macaroni salad was mediocre.

    This place is one of my fave bbq spots. It's the perfect place for some finger-lickin ribs and…read morechicken. The place is pretty big, and they also have a full bar with TVs, making it a fun place to watch a game at. I had their half chicken and half ribs plate with beans and coleslaw today... and it did not disappoint. Can't get enough of their bbq sauce, so of course I asked for another. We sat at the bar to avoid the long dine in line, and the bar tender was amazing and very attentive. There were 4 of us, and since the portions were pretty big, we had to have a to-go box by the end of our dinner. Overall this is a fun and lively place with good food and drinks.

    The North County Phil's BBQ is my preferred Phil's location due to its shorter lines compared to…read morethe original Midway location near Point Loma. Service is efficient and it's a lively busy atmosphere inside. We needed food to last us a few days and I was very pleased at the catering take out from Phil's. We got beefy ribs, baby back ribs, chicken, sausages and an assorted box of sides which included macaroni salad, coleslaw, cookies, cornbread, and salad. It was an absolute feast. Typically when I go to Phil's I get a baby back rib tickler, down it and call it a day. I think my new strategy moving forward might honestly be more catering orders like this because boy was it fun to try such a variety of meats. There's something about a bite of beefy ribs then moving on to some bbq chicken and sausages then finishing with some baby back ribs all slathered in that wonderful BBQ sauce. Is this real authentic BBQ? Definitely not. I've been to Texas- specifically Austin and Houston. But it's really good value and in my humble opinion tastes really solid and the variety which is the spice of life really has given new life to my Phils BBQ experience. I'll be getting a catering box again very soon I hope!

Tiny tiny little space with a big outdoor build-out. Fam and dog friendly. Group friendly. Draft list awesome and I'm a buyer. Had checked out their Yelp and website. Weekly specials. We happened to go when there were $1.25 wings and you can mix and match flavors. I didn't even order them for myself but bit a friends. Both flavors were super yummy and even when tossed, the skins were crisp through the sauce. Both flats and drums. I'm a tiny bite person and ordered hummus. Don't judge. Came out just as the website suggested in their photo. Consistency is everything. Thoroughly yummy for chat nibbling at $11, great 'share with a friend' food. Hands down the SERVICE!!!!!! We arrived shortly after they opened and I'm currently randomly on crutches so we sat closest/easiest outside. Our Server Deity, Lalah, was: 1) able to answer all of my random questions regarding menu and restaurant history/ownership 2) humorous 3) attentive and.... as the patio filled up, I saw how many regulars arrived that she unrolled the welcome mat for. I will def be suggesting and returning. Had a lovely first time. Appreciate you.

Service is always good and attentive, the brews are refreshing, and the food menu still offers our favorites. As a bonus they offer many daily specials. The atmosphere overall is aways inviting and we enjoy having seats on the front patio and watching the occasional classic cars go by. Keep it up guys and see again soon.

They get really busy, and seem to have a coordinated system, like theme parks, to seat customers efficiently. Someone greets you immediately and gets your party size and has you stand by a number. Someone else grabs fresh bread and a bag of peanuts as they seat you. Then your server is right around the corner to get drinks and apps started and answer any menu questions. We decided to try to eat lightly and shared a combo 12oz ribeye with ribs. Came with two sides -- we chose chili and mashed potatoes. And of course we had the warm bread with honey cinnamon butter, as well as the peanuts to start. I was definitely stuffed by the end! Loved the bread and the steak - would order again. Ribs were okay, sauce on it was a bit sweet for my liking. Sides were okay too. Service was awesome. Ethan was our server and took note of it being our first time. He was super helpful in answering my questions and giving us some tips and recommendations.

It made it a little too salty. And it was an extra cost which the server didn't point out when asking if we wanted it. Overall the ribs were the best. Next time if I go again, it will just be ribs.
