Celebrated a friends birthday here over the weekend. As a person with celiac disease who needs to eat gluten free, eating out can be stressful. I always do research before and found promising information about eating gluten free here. Union arrival spoke with our server who assured me it would be no problem, thy even have a dedicated gluten free fryer! I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich without the bun (they do offer a GG bun for those that do want one!!) and it was delish!! So were the fries! Items were makes GF in the menu. Don’t hesitate to go. My only complaint was it was soooooo loud! Maybe I’m just old but it was super hard to have a conversation.

Waitress name is Airie. Very polite and knowledgeable about menu for the questions I asked. I ended up ordering the BBQ bacon burger with rosemary fries and adding a side salad with the shallot and thyme dressing. The first thing that I really liked was that the cups wide mouth mason jars! And the water pitcher is an old style glass milk jug or orange juice container. Very very nice touches I thought. After settling in we started noticing a little bit more of the layout of the atmosphere which is kind of cool and industrial looking. It's really just stripped down there but with some nice lighting fixtures and some half split log tables for where we were seated. The salad came out first and the shallots of time dressing was very light yet still very tasty! The burger came in a small cast iron skillet, which I love as a presentation! The burger didn't have a whole lot of taste to it, but it was cooked the way that I like and paired with the Rosemary fries was pretty good. Someone else from the party had ordered a dish that had some coleslaw on it and whenever I took some of that and added that to the burger it really set it off very well. Highly recommend if you have that opportunity. That whole combination, even if it's not the usual, was very very tasty! All in all, my experience was really good. I could totally see hanging out at this place for a while. Drinking some beers and just chilling. I gave it a five star overall because I did really enjoy it. I did give a little bit of a deduction to four stars on the food because I did have to kind of mix and match a few things to really make it stand out and that cost a little bit extra but overall with the way my experience went, the trip deserves the five stars.

Kaz absolutely MADE our experience at Punch Bowl Social in downtown San Diego! 🩵 From the moment we sat down, she was so kind, attentive, and genuinely personable. She recommended the chicken and waffles, and let me tell you… they were AMAZINGGGG. 😍 I literally cleaned my plate. I also ordered the strawberry margarita, and it paired perfectly with the meal. Everything was delicious, but what really stood out was Kaz’s incredible service. Thank you, Kaz, for making our visit such a great one.

I was excited to try this place because I've never been. We walked in and were greated right away. Got some bowling shoes and paid for a lane then grabbed some drinks and ordered food. We took our drinks back to our table and honestly the drinks weren't that great.. my friend just got a vodka redbull to recover from the fail of our first round of drinks. We ordered the southwest burger with bacon and the bang bang shrimp bao. The burger was super messy, greasy and pretty bland.. the fries were pretty decent at first then got super salty as I ate them so I ended up just eating the bacon off my burger. I got a side of ranch with it and the ranch was pretty watery with lots of dill in to. It was okay ranch but it was just so watery I had to be careful dipling my fries because it was dripping everywhere. Ranch score: 6.2/10 The bang bang shrimp was just a bit too sweet for our liking. It was fried okay but put on a plate that took way too much rokm up on our table.. the breading wasn't season so all the flavor came from the over sweetened sauce on it. Needless to say we didn't finish our food.. The inside was super fun and there were a lot of activities to do and the inside was huge. We bought a card for the arcade but there weren't a lot of games and we barely used it. And the small log tables weren't too practical. The couches were so slippery and it made it comfortable to sit since the tables were so low. A good place but not the best food or drinks. Glad I tired it but I wouldn't come back

Food was super tasty, and affordable. We went there to check out music bingo on a Saturday early afternoon and had a lot of fun. The waitress we had was very nice and attentive. Many buses and trolleys go very close so that's what we did.
