Came here after moving our daughters into CSUSM. I had seen this place on maps before I came down. It did not disappoint. Our server was very friendly and very attentive. Food was amazing and there was a lot of activities to do in the restaurant from bowling alley to video games and even a small library room.

Great place and good atmosphere. We were seated near the arcade area with lots of traffic and noises. Good selection of beers and drinks. The food looked good. I picked the Fairy Mozzarella Burger which was a big disappointment. For whatever reason it had raisins in it which is not mentioned on the list and Mozzarella was bon existent. One key issue with this burger was it lacked any spiciness. The ketchup on the side was more spicy than the burger. I would not recommend this burger. Our party had a variety of items and they all seemed good and enjoyed them. The place also offers arcade games for kids and adults to enjoy.

Great location with an upbeat vibe. Lots of outdoor space for friends get together and family meetups. They have games like cornholes that you can play outside. They also have a bowling alley! It's a wonderful place to hang out! Service was so so. We all individually ordered our food using the QR code. The server came to drop off the food that didn't bother to tell us the name of the person who ordered the food. We had a big party and we all ordered similar food. It got quite messy and it was very inefficient. Food was mediocre. I was expecting so much more. Looking at the pricing of the food, I was expecting quality food. I had surf and turf quesadilla and it was greasy. Salad was okay but it was overpriced. Cauliflower appetizer would have tasted so much better if it was grilled/roasted. Lastly I tried the s'mores dessert and was extremely disappointed that it was placed in a plastic jar. would have been nice if it was in a mason jar... Overall, I think I will come back if I just need a place to hang out with friends. I wouldn't come back for the food/beer.

Super fun place to go and have a lot of different games, food and drinks. Full bar, very high-end alcohols and all of the different food is yummy. Also a good brewery, enjoyed all the beers. I had the burger with a beer combo for happy hour is the best deal ever!
