Had a great time at Garage Bar! Big thanks to Mimi, who recommended the perfect IPA—it really hit the spot.
I ordered the Tex-Mex Burger, and it was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The jalapeños added a great kick without overpowering the other flavors. Their French fries were also a standout—crispy, golden, and clearly made in-house, not the frozen kind you find at most places.
The vibe was laid-back and fun, and the staff made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu on my next visit!

Was looking for a great experience on Halloween night of food fun but was disappointed greatly. 1st the location was not overly busy so there was no excuse for the service we received from the server NAOMI 1st she was not inviting at all made no suggestions and was very rushy which we really didbt appreciate. We ordered the loaded fries which was good and buffalo wings which we ask to be fried extra crispy which they were not because our waiter was rushing and didnt Write anything down. Happy hour drinks were on point so cheers to the bartender! Additionally it was game 6 of the world series and the waiter kept coming back asking if we’re ready to check out…WTH should you be trying to keep us there and offer us other food items or drinks wile we watch the game??? She was very poor at her job and needs an attitude adjustment and some training. Again food and drink were ok but with better service this would easily be a 4 plus!

Home to the Minnesota Vikings fan during football season. I’m surprised I haven’t ate here at this restaurant. My Bestie and I went here before our comedy show and we were not disappointed.
There was no wait when we went , I was able to see the ambience of the restaurant. It is so cute when it’s stressed up for the Minnesota Viking fans
All we ordered was Parmesan truffle fries, and pork belly fried rice and even though it was just a little appetizer we had before our show it was so delicious. We also had some of the cocktails. My favorite is the ” young, dumb and broke.” That Drink, it is so tasty.
This bar is also connected to the shout house, so definitely this is worth coming back again!

Enjoyed a lunch with Garage Kitchen and Bar with Friends. It is really nice rustic atmosphere with a full bar and seating for about 100 people. During football season it is home of the Minnesota vikings. It has plenty of atmosphere and plenty of viewing screens for sporting events. The restroom are clean. The host and service team are very good. The kitchen and bar get your items out quickly. They check on you often which is appreciated. It’s often crowded and worth the wait. A solid menu of bar food and select entree dishes. Their specials definitely attract people. Drink and food specials throughout the week. It’s popular. The manager Clifford is very active being sure your experience is satisfying. Today we went for the $6 hamburger and fries combo special for lunch service. It’s an amazing value and is very tasty. A solid burger at any price and they have good wings as well. If your a drinker their pricing and specials are a great value. Check their Instagram and Facebook. We highly recommend the Garage Kitchen for a good time.

I sat at the bar, got greeted right away with a glass of water. I ordered an angry orchard and a veggie burger. I got my food in less than 20 minutes . The service by the bartenders was amazing and very attentive. The food was really tasty and the background music was old classics .

Went here for brunch with family. Tried to order the 1.5L mimosa for the table and they were out. Tried to order the short rib benedict for myself and they were out. Ended up ordering steak and eggs (with minimal help from the server) and the steak was overcooked. It was very loud, I think the room just amplifies all of the voices in there. It wasn’t even that full but I felt like I had to yell to my family members to talk. It was very mid. I won’t be returning.

Walked by 1000 times and decided to try it. Got a french dip. It was really good, but even better was the value. $17 doesn’t get you much downtown but this was generously sized with ample condiments and really good fries. Was expecting a lot less – will be back!

Found this spot by accident while hunting for Happy Hour! Garage Kitchen + Bar has an amazing $6 burger special that is a total win—it was huge, fresh, and came with a ton of fries which had some kind of delicious seasoning on it as well. Their margaritas are also spot on (not too sugary, just enough alcohol). I really loved the vibe, friendly service and the high energy of the restaurant. If you’re looking for a great, cheap happy hour option in SD, check this place out!

We had an amazing neuroscience group get-together at Garage Kitchen + Bar! The vibe was energetic and fun, perfect for a night out with friends. I tried the chicken tacos, and they were delicious fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The drinks were great too, and the service was friendly and fast. Overall, a fantastic spot for food, drinks, and a good time. Highly recommend for groups!
