    It's always a joy to visit this quaint quirky neighborhood spot. Food and banter are always spot on. Highly recommend their homemade marmalade and other jams. We like to sit at the bar so we can chat with the folks behind the counter and the conversation is always delightful.

    Great old school spot with amazing milk shakes as well as the food! Hot open face sandwiches are my favorite. Great service from sweet people who feel like family

    Chicken fried steak with gravy.

    Finally a simple diner. The feller serving folks at the counter was very kind and had a welcoming sense of humor. Also kind of looked like the actor Gary Busey a bit. The food was simple diner fare, no frills but when you're hungry and just want a meal with no fuss this is a great option. The chicken fried steak was a little tough and chewy but it was a decent sized piece of meat. The diner itself gives you that hometown feel with fridge magnets and tin wall art. A nice change from a lot of places that try too hard to make an identity for themselves. All in all I would recommend this place for sure. Only change I would make is adding biscuits and gravy to the menu (I didn't see any?). I would say add grits but they probably aint eat that around here.

    This mom and pop place was fantastic. You can tell people come here on a weekly basis. My steak, potatoes, eggs, and toasts with strawberry rhubarb game were delicious. My steak could have been a tiny bit more rare but I still enjoyed it. Bob, one of the owners, was a hoot. He is such a people person. He chatted it up with everyone. It was seriously a wonderful experience. I can't wait to come here to have another steak. Let's be real. I'm coming back for Bob. Lol. I recommend this place when you are in Mission Hills in San Diego County. Fun and yum!

    They made me feel extra special on my birthday!

    I lived in San Diego from 1996 to 2006 and never stepped in this place until June 17th, which was my birthday. I was greeted by a nice man named Corey and I believe the grill lady's name was Janet (I might be wrong on that). I was told what the daily special was and given a menu and a cup of coffee. It's a small cafe with counter seating and several tables. Very old school just the way I like. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, Scrambled Eggs and toast. While talking with Corey, he asked if I'd been there before and I said no and that I was in town to celebrate my birthday. Well, then the Red Carpet was rolled out. I received a birthday counter mat and a delicious homemade Red Velvet cupcake. You have a good feeling being there and everyone was friendly. One of the things I miss about living in SD. I recommend folks to try this little gem in Mission Hills. They'll make you feel welcome!!

    Cute diner

    ​Gravity Heights saved the day with available seating for Father's Day dinner!…read more ​We arrived around 5:30 PM and had the option of happy hour or regular seating. We chose happy hour since they have such a great HH menu! Everything looked good on the regular menu as well, but we went with the HH food and kids' meals. We enjoyed two orders of the cauliflower, the cheese pizza, and the smash burger with fries--all of them were so well done! ​Our kids wanted the mac and cheese with fruit (which came with fresh blueberries and blackberries), and my one year old had that plus a side of snap peas and carrots. Both kids loved their food and even had enough left over for dinner the following day. We also tried the "Kiwi Be Friends" drink, which was delicious! ​Service was fantastic. Amelia was upbeat, attentive, and even checked in with us before happy hour ended to see if we wanted to order anything else. I was so grateful for the friendly reminder! ​I completely see why it's called a beer garden--it is beautiful. I loved the decor, the greenery, and the covered patio with turf, picnic tables, fans, and both table and ceiling heaters. The furniture and the bar... I loved it all! The designer really took their time and did a wonderful job planning it out. ​As a quick heads-up on the layout, the bathrooms are gender-neutral. It's an open room with about six private stalls and shared sinks, featuring red/green indicators near the doorknobs to tell you if a stall is occupied or vacant. ​I am for sure coming back for the regular menu soon!

You order at the register, and they bring the dishes out to you. We got so many things and I didn't get photos of it all. The potato pierogis were a hit! So so good! We got the pizzas and a lot of appetizers. They were all executed really well. The bartenders were friendly and super helpful. The vibe is great. Pretty Fire pits, great indoor/outdoor seating. This is a great little gem for mission valley.

The bar area was nice, the music was good but the lighting is a little too dark and yellow. We started off with cocktails and ordered 2 apps, the wings and the Brussel sprouts. When the drinks came out, my wife's Chardonnay had what seemed like broken glass at the bottom and the flavor was off so we switched it for a Pinot Grigio. I had a Cool Hand Lucy, I wasn't a fan. It was a little too sweet for my taste. The appetizers showed up soon after and the Brussel sprouts were delicious but the cashew crusted wings looked a lot better than they tasted. The wings seemed pre-fried and fired up again when ordered, making them dry. The flavors were a little weird too, imagine sweet and sour with cashew crumbs. We won't be ordering that next time. My wife got The sea bass and I the châteaubriand as it was a chef special. However, I would have not ordered it if I had known before hand that this was a platter to share, something the waiter didn't mention which would have been helpful. My wife liked her sea bass. It was cooked perfectly. My meal was a disappointment. The filet was sliced so thin it reminded me of cold cuts spread over a bed of arugula with potato wedges, $120. The flavor was good but I would have like my steak to be sliced thicker. When i think about my experience at the Red Door, I feel that almost of what fell short was due to our server. My wife's Chardonnay, my meal and even my cocktail were things that the waiter did or suggested. Overall, I felt like they missed the mark. If we do come back, we will probably sit in the main dining room and make sure to ask a lot of questions when ordering.

Our food came a few minutes after we ordered. Our waitress, Karla, was absolutely amazing! She gave us great recommendations, explained each menu item in detail, had the best energy, and provided top-notch customer service from start to finish! Outside of the restaurant, there are two doors where you can pick up take-out and dine-in. The restaurant inside is spacious, plenty of seating of booths and there's also outdoor dining. For the food orders, I had the BBQ combo with the choice of BBQ Brisket and BBQ Tri-Tip with a side of mashed potatoes. The combo came with two different bbq dipping sauces. The first one was a cherry tomato which made it smoky and sweet while the other is the original that is tangy and smoky. I preferred the original. My best friend had the BBQ Tri-Tip Sandwich with a side of corn on the cob and butter. We also received fresh baked garlic rolls which was a good start for an appetizer. The garlic rolls were one of the highlights for my best friend. It has olive oil, parsley, and garlic. Everything was delicious! This place is definitely on the higher end price-wise, but the food, service, and overall experience made it well worth it. We'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend checking it out with family and friends!

    It is quite upsetting when a good restaurant goes down hill. We used to enjoy going to Wood Ranch…read more The salmon used to be very good. But now it is always overcooked and dry. Even when asked to prepare it medium rare, it still comes out dry. The asparagus (a premium side) has been stringy and inedible the last several times. The baby back ribs don't have much flavor and the steamed broccoli is very bland. The meat on the bones used to fall off and now it is a struggle. Even though we asked for the entree to come after the salad was done, it came while we were still eating salad. When eating anything with your hands, the server should automatically bring out some type of wet nap to clean up. How can the meal be so terrible when the happy hour menu is so good? The service is way better from the bar staff and the food far better. We have enjoyed the happy hour and will continue to go to that, but the regular menu is not up to good standards. Too bad!
