Server was super attentive. He guided us to use bar code to scan on table. They serve beer, wine, and cocktails. They also have great food. Definitely recommend Brussels sprouts and truffle fries to start.

I’m glad we gave this place a try. It was a great experience. All the food we had was wonderful. The beers were good. Prices were reasonable for portion sizes, at least as far as California goes. Noemi was a wonderful server – she gave great recommendations, was attentive without being interruptive, and never made any requests feel like a burden. She well deserved the extra tip. The music was not too loud or distracting. Didn’t try the dessert as they were priced a little too high, but were intriguing options.

Nice place. Sat on the patio to enjoy the weather. Service was a bit slow at first but improved while we were there. Server was super friendly and personable. Food was awesome. And the prices were more than fair. Birria french dip was amazing and the sausage plate was so good. Tried a sausage plate at another place and there was no comparison. Beer was great too and a good selection on top of it. Highly recommend.

It was pretty good… I’m not a beer drinker, the food was so so…

I had the chicken tacos and a (very over priced) hummus appetizer… Tasted good.

We had a large party of 11 people including children ages ranging from 15 to 4. We were greeted and they were very polite. The waitress named Beth was absolutely an angel!! Very nice, very hospitable and her attitude was amazing, very helpful and nice and ready to help and get us our food after a long day at Legoland!!! Beth not only knew what she was doing, she knew what was needed before we asked!! Always smiling along with all the other employees i saw. Loved it and will definitely come back and recommend to anyone!! Let me tell you about the food everything was delicious from the fish and chips to the burgers AMAZING GREAT TASTE AND PRICE!! LARGE PORTIONS AND GREAT SERVICE!!?? WHY GO ANYWHERE ELSE!! thank you Beth for being patient with our kids and the whole hungry mob we brought to you lol

It was a fun atmosphere and they were accommodating to family groups. They had large tables and a great indoor and open air patio seating. I’ll have to leave the beer reviews to someone else, but the food sections were creative and tasty. We tried appetizers, salads, fish, and kids meals. I especially liked the generous avocados on some of the dishes, and spicy toppings on most of the entrees.

This location has a pub vibe rather than the outdoor brewery vibe. We were seated immediately. Our server was nice. We ordered the fried shrimp, the piggy bank Mac and cheese, the pork chops. For drinks, I got the Chai me a River as a trial and I loved it so now that’s what I have at every Karl Strauss. The food was good. Their Mac and cheese is quite well-known and rightfully so – creamy, cheesy and melts in the mouth. The bacon, ham and sausage were great additions to the palate. The fried shrimp was fantastic! The spicy mayo with it gave a lot of depth to the shrimp itself. The pork chops were also great but the star of that dish was the firecracker/spicy mustard sauce. Absolutely delicious and if I could just get that sauce to add to all my food, I would.

You can sit for as long as you want, no questions asked. The pricing is on par with the other KS locations. They have a parking lot and street parking in the area.

I haven’t been here in a long time. It’s still packed and loud. For a quick lunch it was fine . They did have vegan and gluten free options. Portions were fine. Prices were decent . Maybe if I were into beer I would have been more enamored with it all or just drunk.

Had a great meal here. Plenty of free parking. A ton of TVs, surprised they didn’t have audio on for the One game everyone was watching but the music selection was good.
Comfortable seating. Tables are thick and big, you don’t feel crushed at a small table trying to fit all your plates and drinks. Bar area looked great and lively.
Mediterranean salad was SOOOO GOOD.
A few things I’d change: is adding some healthier kid meal Options (chkn noodle soup, chicken and rice) basically something not fried.
Dessert options were limited and nothing sounded great to me.

So many choices for all palettes. Definitely worth paying the couple dollars extra to keep the mug Food was also good just wish they had kid menus or the coloring menus for kids. Especially since they are so close to Legoland and we saw so many kids, it would make sense. But overall we enjoyed ourselves.
