When I worked at the nearby mall, my co-workers and I would often visit Rock Bottom for a good, southern comfort food lunch. I'm not a drinker, but there is a gigantic bar for people that are and it looked like all the bar occupants were having a good time watching the game on the huge TVs. I receomend the Macaroni and Cheese dish, seriously the best I've ever had! Kinda tasted like it was made with alfredo sauce, too. My coworkers said that Rock Bottom turns part of it's dining room into a dance floor at night or on weekends, and almost becomes a club! There were alot of colored lights in the ceiling and a DJ booth as well as a nice speaker set up. Supposedly, it's more of the geeky military crowd that comes to the Rock Bottom Club at night. They are definatley all about the beer at this place!

Whenever you feel like a meal but aren't sure where to go, just head over to Taco Bell and I'm positive you won't be dissapointed. My favorite location in the area is the Mission Valley Taco Bell next to In-N-Out. My least favorite location is the Normal Heights Taco Bell on El Cajon Blvd next to CoCo's. (Can you say ghetttttooooo?) My first job was at a Taco Bell when I was 16, so I know there are no "weird" things they put in their food and there are no disgusting ways they prepare their food. The beans are real refried beans and the ground beef is good quality beef. They do a very good job as a restaurant to keep things clean, organized and friendly. I seriously love everything on the menu, but my favorites are the Taco Supreme, Nachos Supreme, Steak Quesadilla, Meximelt and Baja Chalupa. Taco Bell has been around since the 60's and will continue to grow, I'm sure. Even though I don't work there anymore, I definatley eat there and am always impressed with their service and quality of food. Taco Bells always love when you fill out comment cards, too. The employees are usually proud of the work they do.

When you feel like something other than Starbucks for your morning snack, definatley turn to Jamba Juice. (Most locations are right next to a Starbucks, haha!) You can pick from 40+ menu smoothies to satisfy your fruit craving, and most are excellent combinations. I recall the place smelling like crushed vitamins, which was kind of a turn off. I like very sweet things, and my personal favorite is the strawberry one. However, these smoothies are blekkk compared to the Surf City Squeeze Smoothies in the mall who I find much tastier. A Jamba Juice will fill you up, but does run about 600 calories and packed with sugar (a whole meal!). I like the idea of adding in one free "boost", which is an assortment of extra vitamins and minerals, depending on which ones you're lacking at the moment.

Pat and Oscar's is known for their awesome breadsticks, and we haven't found better breadsticks to date. The salads are tasty and the pepperoni pizza is pretty good, but the gourmet pizzas, chicken and ribs and sandwiches are just gross. We've had mixed experiences with the staff, some are friendly, some are just very unhappy people. The atmosphere is very relaxed and casual. There plates, napkins, to-go bags, and bottles of condiments all at your fingertips. It's a good place to go if you've got free meal tickets like we did, lol!

I visited the Los Panchos location in Pacific Beach on 1775 Garnet Ave.. When I walked in, I was expecting an order at the counter and take your seat style location, but was plesantly surprised to see a "Come in and Sit Down" sign. I sat down at a table near the door and waited. A hispanic family was eating at the tabe in front of me and got up to leave. A waitress started clearing their table and started putting their dirty dishes on my table! She didn't even look at me, it was like I wasn't there. Finally, another waitress came over and said something to her in spanish like "No, est a Muchacha", meaning I guess "Hey what the hell are you doing, this girl is eating here!" She apologized and said "Oh, I thought you were just waiting". Yeah, thanks for assuming. I ordered the taco and enchilada meal and was served chips and salsa, hot carrots and grilled onions while I was waiting. I wasn't sure what to do with the carrots and onions and the salsa was disgusting. As I was munching on my chips, a disgusting bum who I saw earlier living in the corner of the parking lot came to the front door and STARED at me through the glass. He then proceeded to circle the building several times, continuing to stare at me. I felt very uncomfortable. I kept looking outside at my car to see if the bum was near it. The restaurant looked as though it hadn't been cleaned in a week. Finally, my food arrived and the waitress said nothing to me as she dropped it off. There was no melted cheese on my rice as I had requested, so she brought me a small cup of grated cheese. I was not impressed with the taco, and the enchilada tasted as though there had been cinnamon sprinkled on it. Weird, I know. When I went to finish and pay, the two waitresses behind the counter were engaged in conversation and did not acknowledged me. Finally, after about 30 seconds of standing there, she slowly turned toward me and smiled "I'd just like to pay", I said. I paid, and left, and will never go back. Santana's down the street is a much better, nicer, cleaner Mexican place.

Bronx Pizza has recieved the San Diego City's Best Award for Best Pizza 5 years in a row!! My husband and I consider ourselves true pizza conissuers, and I think it's safe to say Bronx is the best pizza we've ever had!!! I have told everyone I know about Bronx, and so far everyone has agreed with me. This New York style place is a small, comfy pizza joint on a busy street in Hillcrest. The walls are filled with images of famous boxers, the real Bronx in NY, NY baseball team jerseys and critically acclaimed awards the pizza place has one. The staff is a little gruff, and will not wait for you to "decide" what you want. Make sure to come in with your mind made up. Whole Pizza Pie orders ($13.50) are taken on the outside window of the building and Slice orders are taken inside at the register. They have a great 2-Slice and Soda deal for around $5. The crust is thin, the sauce is minimal, the toppings are plentiful, and the cheese is out of this world!!! A truly PERFECT pizza. They import their water from New York city to make their dough to give it a truly original taste. You hungry yet? :)

It's so funny to think that pizza can be fancy, but not after you try this place! Sammy's is top notch in their service, atmosphere, and quality of food. I love the fact that they wood fire the pizza fresh right in front of you! I order the Margherita pizza with pepperoni every time I visit and am never let down. The pizzas are small "personal size", but very filling and very tasty. They have local sports on next to the bar if that interests you. This is a good place for a casual first date. If you want a REAL pizza, though try Bronx up the street in Hillcrest.

The Corvette Diner is a world famous legendary restaurant! This is where my husband and I went on our first date. We are a rockabilly couple, so we definatley enjoyed the decor, the waitresses' attitude and the loud music. Every seat in the place gives you a great view of the whole restaurant. Service is a little bitchy on purpose, and they all have fake 50's names. They shower you with soda straws the minute you take your seats and shower you with Bazooka bubblegum as you're leaving your table. On weekends, the waitresses wear huuuuge wigs and there is a live DJ that you can request old rock n roll songs to. Sometimes the waitresses and busboys even have to organize a dance routine in the middle of the floor to entertain you! The wait can be pretty long on Friday, Sat and Sunday nights, and they won't seat you until your whole party is present, so make sure you come early. The menu items have cute, kitschy names, but I'm not impressed with the taste of the food. (Ruby's Diner has much better food.) The Elvis shake is my personal favorite (marshmallows, peanut butter and bananas). Parking is a little tough, but they do have a small valet lot right next to the place. I like to bring people to corvette who have never been, but then I regret it once we pay $10 for a not-so-awesome hamburger. At least the shakes make up for it!

My fiance and I went here to check it out as an idea for our wedding location! We were so impressed with the service, the food and the decor that we decided this was going to be our place. The restaurant was built in the 1950's and is all polynesian-tiki style. The great big windows over-look San Diego's harbor and the tables are lit with candles at dinner time. The dining experience is almost like a very romantic getaway dinner on an island! Unfortunetly, our small wedding budget didn't allow for the extravagance of the restaurant, so we married at a friend's home. I still wish we would have taken out a loan and married at the Bali Hai. Super fabulous place!

I had heard so many great things about the Hash House, so I took my husband one morning for breakfast. We didn't have to wait long for two, only about ten minutes, but I can see how the wait could have been much longer. The place was small, bright and cozy, with very artistic upscale decor, so we weren't sure what to expect in pricing. They had Saturday morning cartoons on and all the servers seemed to be in a good mood. When our food arrived we were SHOCKED. The plates were seriously three times the size a normal plate and piled high with potatoes, ham, fruits, vegitables, bacon, EVERYTHING! They had 4 people bring the two of us our breakfast. I wish I could have seen the look on my face. Our server said "don't be scared, just dig in!" We were so impressed with the quality and quantity for the price we paid for our meals. We were full until dinner that day and still had some left over that we ATE for dinner!!
Hash House now opened up a dinner version of their restaurant down the street called the Tractor Room. We haven't been yet, but are definatley planning to go!
