    Experience was fun! There’s a kind lady that walks around the restaurant to take group photos & asks if you would like one. My group and I did politely decline as it was a hot and sweaty day. Overall enjoyed the food and ambience! Our only small complaint was waiting for our make server to check up on us. It wasn’t that busy when we came in, so we were slightly concerned why he kept talking so long to take care of us. He took maybe 20-30 minutes each time to check up on us.

    Amazing!! Best restaurant in San Diego hands down! The Big Baja Bucket dinner for 2 is so great! Everything from the starter ceasar, to the sauces they provide with the seafood to the delicious dessert!

    The food was amazing service perfect the only complaint would be the drinks, I don’t know what was wrong with the bartender that night but and had to return both of my drinks because they were un drinkable. What a disappointment

    We really enjoyed the food. Having a band play the oldies was an added bonus. We’d definitely go back again.

    Wow. This is must stop when visiting Old Town, especially on Mondays, when the original Lobster Bucket is discounted by $10. The food is so good and there is so much of it, you will definitely ask for a box to take home your leftovers. Lobster, shrimp, steak, chicken, corn, salad, rice, beans, tortillas with butter, chips with a variety of salsas. All delicious!

    We always pick this restaurant when we pick up a guest at the airport because it's close, has good food and takes reservations. Having dined on one of their "bucket" meals many times, we were a bit disappointed in the flavors. The lobster, shrimp, beef and chicken simply did not have the great tastes as in the past. Do they have a new head chef who changed the seasoning? The crispy calamari was excellent. Service was a bit uneven. Not a place for quiet conversation - ever. The Friday night band was quite enjoyable.
