Went there for lunch after completing our Seal Tour nearby, with my Navy daughter and granddaughter. We enjoyed an Kansas City barbecue meal (mainly ribs and chicken), which was comparable to other decent barbecue restaurants. But the “stand out” dish was the corn ribs, which were extremely tasty, hearty, and very unique, at least for us. The atmosphere is fun, historic, and nostalgic, especially the piano and alcove and bar, which we immediately recognized from the movie, “Top Gun.” We loved the “Top Gun” references, photos, and memorabilia, which included other naval aviation history. It is definitely worth the stop!

For such a famous, popular place, its a pity the waiting staff don’t engage with the customers more and ask or offer information about when the original film Top Gun was filmed there, which is why people come here. The food was ok, the service was a bit below that, it was all a bit flat, unfortunately. I loved both of these movies and was excited to go to lunch here, but it didn’t hold up to my expectations, sadly
I’m not in the habit of writing up bad reviews, but I have to be honest.

We came here initially because of the fact the “Great balls of fire” scene from the original Top Gun was filmed here, which alone made it a really cool visit. However, we were super impressed by how good the food was! I had the pulled pork sandwich with Onion rings and fries, along with a canned Moscow mule cocktail. It was all extremely tasty and I was thoroughly full after! However, this didn’t stop me from also having the s’mores brownie, which was so big the rest of my table had to “assist” me with finishing it haha.
On top of this, the atmosphere outside was really relaxed and it made having conversation easy, and the music in the background was a mix of great songs.
Overall, really 5 stars all round.

I stop here every time I’m in San Diego to see Chris and Chris (my favorite bartenders) and get my bbq and BS fix. The bbq is on-point for KC style bbq. I know because I grew up in KC. But before you walk in here, maybe you should ask yourself a few questions in order to spare this amazing place future weird reviews:
Am I afraid of bras? Will my life be diminished by reading a few irreverent bumper stickers? Am I put off by people who are unapologetically authentic? Do I prefer whitewashed, soulless, corporate places? If your answer to these questions is “No” then you won’t regret stopping here. If ya do stop, give Chris and Chris high fives and hugs for me!

We had a great time after the Padres game. We stayed across the street and decided to give this place a try. The wings were good. The food was delicious after ballpark food. The waitress was nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance of the place is very nostalgic to all 80s and 90s kids. The place has cool photo areas to see. The place is small and tight in certain areas. The place has a history and needs to be visited if you’re in san diego. The beer choices were good. I bought a t shirt at midnight. No regrets.

Great place that I had never known existed, until now. We went on a Sunday afternoon so place was not busy or hoppin. But the drinks were cold, service fast, Onion Rings great. We ordered one meal with 3 meats and shared. The ribs I did not try and were the least favored by hubby. But the Brisket was tender, and the Burn’t Ends were even better! We got a pic of the 4 of us by the Piano that Goose played, so that was cool.

Great Bar and REALLY GOOD FOOD. I definitely recommend visiting. Plus, all the cheesy Top Gun memorabilia. How can you pass that up? I ordered the rib tips, and they did not disappoint. Also, the fried pickles with their spicy sauce is legit.
