American-Stadium

Name: Stadium Sports Bar and Restaurant

Cuisine: American

Opinion: Bad

Area: Encinitas

About: The atmosphere is awesome, there are tvs everywhere. I was first caught off guard when the waitress asked us if we wanted a booth with a tv, I thought there would just be a tv next to the booth, but the tv is sitting on your table, and you have complete control of it. With that being said, I wouldn't come here for the food, maybe next play offs I'll go back just to see a sport's event there, but I wouldn't go back for the food.

What to order: Maybe a burger...Not quite sure, but I can tell you not what to order: fish and chips, and parmesan chicken.

More info: I had higher expectations for this place, on a Friday night at 6pm it was completely empty so that's gotta tell you something.

Hamburgers-Bare Back Grill

Name: Bare Back Grill

Cuisine: Hamburgers, (New Zealand Inspired)

Opinion: Great

Area: Pacific Beach

About: Great lunch specials and really great atmosphere.

What to order: Lunchbox Special (you get a soda/beer, fries and hamburger for $10), Bare B'RGER

More info: Very relaxed and unique setting, I have only been there for lunch so I can't comment on dinner time. On the wall they have a $4 spin board, where you pay $4, spin the wheel, and can earn one of their random prizes, such as a free meal or a root beer shot. The fries are amazing, very thin but have almost a sugar taste to them it's very different but very good. This place is definitely a keeper!
