Chipotle ketchup ! The food is pretty good. Limited menu, but just order something you can put the ketchup on! It's amazing!! Indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the marina .. Def going back

Next time you're in SD, try Jimmy's on Harbor Dr. Sitting on the boarwalk with Marina just ft away, great for sunsets or any time of day. Gotta try the fried chicken . Some good local drafts on tap .

Onion rings were amazing. I didn’t know this place has a ranking for them!We also had taco and burgers ! Fresh and juicy burger made my day after a long time of not having burgers .

Great Burgers , Great Onion rings & great service. Nice beer selection . Sit out on the patio & enjoy the Marina views . A must if looking for a great place near Point Loma .

Never had a bad meal here. Burgers are a great go to, truly one of the best in San Diego. Pulled pork and fried chicken are also phenomenal. Hard to go wrong with anything though.

Don Carter

Fantastic food. Blue Burger is one of the best I've had. Apple coleslaw is delicious and refreshing. Don't forget the home made chips . Heather was attentive and friendly .

If you want a low carb option , try one of their burgers without bun and a side salad !

Great burgers ! Great place to enjoy a waterfront view and have lunch . Little pricey but worth it. The breakfast is not worth it, food is bad for breakfast if you ask me.

Good appetizers . Good drinks. Beer list is a little small for San Diego.

The O-rings rock and the steak salad satisfies. Great place for lunch with a pint of Woodie Gold-or two.
