My friend Desiree and I were in the mood for some Happy Hour goodies unfortunately Spoons did not offered a happy hour on a Friday night, so we went for some appetizers which were a little pricey so if you taking your friend on a casual HH time this is not going to be the place if you want to stay within your budget, in the other hand food and drinks were good and tasty, we ended up getting more food than we can chew on it. About the place on a Friday night 7ish it had a good environment and atmosphere they offered inside and outside seating which was very good actually excellent perhaps its been a long time since covid hit the US that I didnt enjoy such a pleasant atmosphere, servers were attempt and courteous, food didnt take too long to get served, it was hot and tasty aside from been pricey but we enjoyed it!If you are not in a budget this place its just perfect to take a date and have a pleasant dinner, they have social distance in place and the requirement of wearing a mask when you enter, I just didnt see no one enforcing it as every one was enjoying they food and drinks, we ordered Calamari, buffalo wings., and fish tacos even they were good the way in which they serves it didnt look as good as in their menu pictures. Calamari was real good, buffalo wings were good. Drinks I had the Long Island Ice Tea and my friend had a Paloma it look like a margarita in the rocks and it tasted like a lemonade with tequila in it, so I gave this place a 3.5 stars based in their overall pricing, food is a 3.7 stars and drinks a 4.5 stars. Now an image can tell more than a thousand words .

Convivial atmosphere, charming service staff. Grilled salmon w/ steamed veggies (lightly salted w/ mild spices) was well prepared w/ a pleasing presentation. A small but cozy sports bar compliments the modest dining facility. Wishing the owners of this establishment the best!

I love this place, especially RAID (Random Acts of Irrelevant Dance) were our dancers (BTW, I Love, love, love all of them), DJ Adrian, my lovely photographers from scene snaps. This past weekend was no exception to the craziness that happens monthly on the first Saturday of the month. My first experience was from Prom last May (the first one! woo.)

After a long day at Disneyland, we were looking for something to eat, before heading back to the park for the parade and fireworks. We decided to try Spoons Bar & Grill. Our choice was a great one! The chips and queso were excellent, as were the tacos and chicken we added to our meal. The food was fresh - which can make or break a good taco, in my opinion. We also added a glass of white wine, which was perfect as well.

I ate at Spoons back in January 2020 because I was staying at a hotel across the street. OMG!!! This place had the most delicious food ever. Customer service was also great. I can’t wait to return on July 27th! Loved their food! All I can think about is going back there very soon! Highly recommend!

Always a good time here. Ive done bottle service with my coworkers and Ive done bottle service for my birthday, they take care of me and my friends every time. Love the diversity! Friday nights they have Reggaeton and Saturdays are Hip Hop, DJs know what to play to get everyone to turn up!!!

Let me start off by sayung this place is horrible, starting with management. He was rude and made horrible sarcastic comments to me. And the fact he wasnt able to help me is beyond the point. But to know that they can just easily tipped themselves without our consent isnt okay! A trip is errands based on service and if the service wasnt up to my standards, they dont deserve any. Trying to talk to someone above the horrible A.hole of the manager.He talked about if I wanted to take legal action, to do so and to get myself a lawyer, which was totally uncalled for, because that wasnt my intention to began with. Im disappointed with the costumer service he gave me.

Ordered a smothered chicken burrito.Only thing full service was the price.I opened the burrito after several chicken-less bites to see if it was completely chicken free. It had so few pieces of chicken, I lined them up on the plate for a photo. Does that look like a great stuffed chicken burrito to you? Not me.After a very long wait the staff arrived and offered a half hearted inquiry, as to if anything was wrong with the meal. I asked if it was normal to have such a small amount of meat in the burrito, he thought so, but wanted to know if it was alright?A bland flavoured rice burrito for $10 and he wants to know if its ok? The food situation explains the rest of the restaurant package.I shouldnt have ignored the warning signs, but hunger and a desire to give the place a chance were ignored and this is the result. Stay away and save the experience, you have been warned.

Traveling through southern Cali, I stopped at a hotel and this bar/grill was next to it. What a great surprise.The food was excellent. I had chips, queso and salsa for appetizer. Came out hot and very good. I had the fajitas with steak and shrimp for my main entree. It came with lots of steak, shrimp, grilled veggies, rice, beans and tortillas. The food was sizzling hot and stayed cooking on the cast iron plate it was delivered to my table on. I often am underwhelmed with fajitas at many restaurants, but this little place really hit a homerun with their treatment of this dish. I was delighted and left full.The staff likewise was fast, efficient and gracious. They constantly checked on my drink and the food came out in quick order. The pricing was reasonable for the top end dish I ordered. If I stay in the area again, I will certainly return. While I dont normally recommend bar and grills for mexican food, I thoroughly enjoyed this fajita dinner. Enough for two.Great stuff.

Decent food. It was definitely reasonable pricing for being a hotel! I ordered the chicken strips with fries. Chicken was crispy. The fries were seasoned really well. There is a pool that you overlook at the outdoor tables. Would be good for kids and parents.

It was within walking distance from the hotel. I had the street tacos which were delicious, and a margarita that was less than impressive. No chips and salsa were offered, which with tacos and margaritas just didnt make sense.

Everything my group had was delicious. Crispy tacos with beans and rice, pasta and shrimp skewers are what we ordered. They also have sandwiches, salads, burgers and steaks. We were the last table of the night and they still made everything fresh. We arent from the area so we werent sure where to eat, found they had good ratings so decided to give it a shot.

Used to have one of these restaurants back in the day in my home town. Drove past this location a few times. Glad I stopped in and tried it. The staff was really good and the food and drinks were well above expectations. Food was hot and good portions. The drinks were good without being too strong. I will be back!!

Perfect spot to find a mix of food for everyone. Everything my group had was delicious. Crispy tacos with beans and rice, pasta and shrimp skewers is what we ordered. They also have sandwiches, salads, burgers and steaks. We were the last table of the night and they still made everything fresh. We arent from the area so we werent sure where to eat, found they had good ratings so decided to give it a shot. I probably wont have the chance to eat there again before I go home, but I would definitely go back!

Spoons was part of my childhood so was excited to go back once again with my husband. We get there and can hear music outside. We walk inside to blaring Mexican music. Security went to find the hostess. We couldnt hear her over the music and when I leaned in to hear what she was saying she told us we had to pay to enter. Um... You want us to pay to enter your restaurant to then have to pay to eat the food yeah no. The 10 minutes we were in there gave mr a headache. Not to mention if we did eat there all the lights were off. Not sure of this is a normal but it was a waste of time and gas.

The front desk worker at the hotel I was at recommended this place to get food from. I got a taco trio (mainly because I couldnt decide what I wanted) and was blown away by the flavors. It was absolutely delicious and the margarita was just as great. The cheat code is to go during happy hour to get the most bang for your buck.

Service is ok. I order the trio fajitas I wouldnt order them again there spicy. The sad part is they put your rice,beans in the same skillet wich makes the beans all dry and stick to the skillet same as the rice. To little beans and rice for the price of $24.00.

Review №79

Very good food and service, with one caveat: The online menu is only a rough guide. The menu at the actual restaurant is a loose subset of the online menu, so I suggest before you get your heart set on a certain selection, call ahead and ask if the item you want is available. If you like to watch sports while you dine, this is a good place to go. I counted no less than 6 TV screens that had 5 different sports events playing. I saw 2 different soccer games, a basketball game, an American football game, and ice hockey, all playing at once. (If, like me, you care little for sports, just learn to ignore the distraction for sake of the others in your party. The food alone is well worth the visit.) I saw one dining room which had several long rectangular tables, some white booths, and decor featuring sheer white curtains. I couldnt help but wonder if a wedding could be held there. It looks like there is room for a small party (small for a wedding, that is) of about 50 guests. I wonder . . .? Anyway, this is a good place to come for good food, maybe watch a game or two, and shoot the breeze with friends. Thumbs up!

I wasnt too happy with this place. I ordered a drink and they didnt have lemons which are cital to the flavor of the drink I ordered so they gave me a lime and still charged me full price. Then they wouldnt allow me to order a lunch special to go. The specials were only for eating there. So I ordered the special took a bite and asked for anyone go container.

Its was so so. The food was made correctly. Got the burger with guac, wasnt the most delicious thing Ive eaten. Good the next day though microwaved. Menu is deceptively limited. It looks like they offer a lot, but they have two burger choices...this is a bar and grill?

Very good service. The tortilla soup is excellent. My husband ordered fish tacos and they were not spicy but very tasty. Kids ordered a spicy shrimp dish with steamed broccoli cooked to perfection and a burrito. It really is a worthy place to stop and dine.
