big big shout out to Gabby, nice server, very helpful, and smiling the whole time. she was quick to take our order and the food was delivered quite fast. The ribs, chicken, and pulled pork was fabulous. The brisket not so much, however they replaced with a couple slices of tri-tip without us asking. Overall really nice luncheon, atmosphere was super, Gabby was a complete joy to work with and we will definitely bring more people there next time. Thank you! Get the family pack it's the best value!

I can't lie I was a little skeptical about this place simply, because of its location. Tourist locations & bbq on the west coast do not usually pan out to well. My older son wanted bbq, which turned out to be the best bbq spot on this side of the map without a doubt... the beans & the brisket were the star of the show for me. The wife & I had a shareable tray with chicken included which was equally as good. The smaller kids loved their burgers & my older son loved his order of loaded fries. Customer service to top it off was superb too. The manager coming out to assure we were gettin the right dishes only confirmed we made the right choice by stopping here. We definitely will return here whenever we're in the area again!

Very good service i love the bald dude definitely coming back, best dinner sport for vacation, food taste like a backyard bbq on steroids. place gives off amazing vibe next to the beach

Ok, so I wanted tacos and my son wanted bbq. we ended up playing rock paper scissors shoe, and he won lol so we ended up at this spot and I'm so glad he won!! The food here was delicious my son got the loaded fries and we also got the plate for two with chicken and brisket it comes with three sides, so we got the bbeans, collar greens and corn plus corn bread and it was just the best! Service was also great!! Will definitely return

5 Stars! I can't say enough great things about this place! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. Our server, Maddie, was absolutely fantastic--so insightful and energetic. She kept checking in on us and made sure everything was perfect. Her kindness really made our experience special! The manager also went above and beyond, taking the time to check on us personally and offering more recommendations. It's clear they really care about their customers. Now, let's talk about the food... WOW! Everything we tried was amazing. The brisket was tender and flavorful, the ribs were mouthwatering, and their brisket chili and cornbread were to die for. We loved it so much, we had to order some to go. The to-go packaging was top-notch--felt like we were taking home leftovers from a family BBQ. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves BBQ done right! And they have really great taco Tuesday's and happy hour! You won't be disappointed!

I'm upset that the string beans were unremarkable... bland...Because the ribs and bbq chicken entrees were amazing in the church pan that Sista Marvin sent you home with after a long assed service. The Mac n cheese was savory (not baked from church) but still very good! The collards were impressive & I'm so happy they were actually collards and not Swiss chard like these jokers tried to gaslight me in NY years ago... I digress ... I actually shared the two entrees with my boy toy and two wee ones . We were full! Portion sizes were perfect! Texas toast was delicious & some even enjoyed the pickled veggies under the wrapping ! We will return . Not sure about the ambiance- ordered the food for pick up .

I was recently on a work trip and stayed just down the street from the Coaster Saloon. I took a walk there to grab a bite to eat and have a beer. I was extremely happy with my choice. I'd read reviews and decided this was a good place to check out. I ordered a couple local craft beers throughout the time there. I also ordered their Party Fowl chicken sandwich with Carolina Gold sauce. What a tasty sandwich! The entire time I was there, staff stopped over to check in and make sure food was warm and the beer was cold. The atmosphere of this bar and grill was perfect for a low key Wednesday evening dinner. The decor was great! I was glad I made the walk to eat here. There wasn't a whole lot of other sit-down places in the evening in this area. They do a good job of making this a welcoming joint.

Tucked in near the boardwalk of Mission Beach lies this hidden gem. If you're around the Belmont park area, it's only a short walk away. It's a small interior, but they do have outdoor seating also. The outdoor seating is great if you like people watching. The food is actually surprisingly good. There's not a whole lot of good bbq in San Diego, but this place has some of the most tender brisket I've had. The ribs are also fall off the bone tender! The sides are pretty decent too. Staff were very nice and attentive. They would swing by and check up on us and see if we needed refills on drinks.

Went to mini golf nearby & was craving BBQ after! I came in with pretty low expectations with it being in such a popular area - like who's going to get great BBQ at Mission Beach? WELL I WAS WRONG! Our server was consistently checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. If we had any questions, she would always answer everything patiently. Sometimes when you're being served, you can tell it's just a job but our server really made you feel taken care of in a genuine way. We got the 2 meat BBQ plate (hot links & brisket), chicken tenders & TJ Burger. The BBQ plate came with hot links - the most pleasant experience that these hot links had bits of jalapeño AND cheese in them. They were succulent with a kick. I'm still craving them as I write this and it's been months later. The brisket was tender and I like all the sauces they have you can choose from. The TJ burger has a roasted jalapeño on it which makes it sooooo good. It was packed with ingredients & was well balanced. The chicken tenders were huge & had the right amount of crisp. Great job Coaster Saloon!
