Curbside Eatery & Drinkery

A La Mesa staple! Curbside is great, good food, good drinks, and positive vibes. Definitely recommend checking out their happy hours 3-5 and 8-10 pm every day.My go to's are the gyro and falafel plates. As a Greek who loves Mediterranean food these are solid. They use green chick peas so you know it's good. Also you have to get the tzatziki, it pairs perfectly and is well made.The staff is super nice and welcoming. We had a bit of a mix up one time with a reservation but they were great about getting us seated.The only reason I gave 4 stars is it's a bit steep in price for some of the items.

The food was ok, prices were way too high for "meh" quality, but the atmosphere was.... not ok. I wasn't comfortable at all. The first clue was when the song "we gotta get you a woman" by Todd Rundgren was playing.... "they may be stupid but they sure are fun"... wow. I dunno if that was a pandora thing, and that really isn't my problem, but no. Just no.Then i looked around. Most of the servers are women and this song is being played? Seems like fun to work here.. not.To top all of this off, there are political fliers up. WOW. Idc what side you play for, that's just tacky. Won't be returning.

I want to preface this review by mentioning that this review in no way reflects on the wait staff. However, the food was extremely disappointing.We started with the poke nachos, which were a huge letdown. What we received was mostly chips with a very little poke. For the price, I expected a much better balance of ingredients and definitely more poke. The shredded carrot on top felt like filler.Next, I had the cheeseburger. Initially, I noticed the fries had been lazily thrown on the plate in a haphazard arrangement, which doesn't really matter because Curbside isn't fine dining - but it sure did foreshadow what was to come. Upon taking a bite, I noticed the bun was incredibly dry. This alone would have been disappointing, but then I discovered a large piece of wax paper in the burger, presumably from the cheese slice. I am a bit concerned with how much paper I actually ate before noticing it. This kind of mistake is unacceptable and raises serious questions about what goes on in the kitchen. From the fries, to the bun, and the wax paper - whoever plated this burger does not care about the customer.My wife had the Greek salad, which was priced at $17 with an additional $7 for chicken. The salad was laughably small and only included four tiny pieces of chicken. Also, for $17 ($28 including the chicken) you'd think a Greek salad would have Greek olives and not cheap black olives. For such a high price, we expected a much more substantial and authentic Greek salad. The portion size and quality were extremely disappointing.We were informed that some changes had been made to the menu and kitchen, but these changes have clearly not been for the better. Despite the decent service, the quality of the food was so poor that we will not be returning. We have already warned our friends to avoid this place. Very disappointed.

Such a good vibe in here from the decor to all of the giant windows that give you an indoor outdoor feel. Good tap selection. The beer is always nice and cold. We go there a few times a month for our go-to food item of poke nachos. Delicious big chunks of tuna, super crispy wonton chips and all the yummy toppings. So delicious!

We decided to come here on a Monday Night, instead of Mastiff Kitchen. We were welcomed right away by a host sitting at the front door. After overlooking the menu posted outside, we decided to be seated. The host was very customer service oriented.Shortly after sitting down, our server arrived. She was very enthusiastic and offered a fresh greeting. She answered any questions that we had about the menu and the drinks, in such a positive manner. She is truly the expert.Tried the Societe IPA and the Tequila Old Fashioned. Both were definitely great. The Tequila Old Fashioned IS AMAZING! This is the new go to drink for me this Spring. We also ordered: CAULI ONION SQUASH Shareable, THREE BERRY SALAD with Short Rib added, and SHORT RIB SLIDERS with Housemade Potato Chips. Our food came out in an appropriate amount of time. I had a chance to visit the restroom in between that time. I try not to visit the restroom before I eat, because it can potentially ruin my appetite. This place had a VERY CLEAN AND PRESENTABLE RESTROOM. I was impressed and pleased. Everything tasted great and the vibe here is throwback and nice, plus they play 80s & 90s music. The only thing that I regret is not realizing that there was no dessert on the menu. We were here to continue to celebrate a birthday, but could not indulge in any desserts here. Otherwise, we will visit again for the great hospitality, service, and yummy food.

The drinks, staff ( shoutout to Paul ), and atmosphere were great! The music was a vibe and plus. I would definitely recommend this place for a great drink and happy hour.

I want to like this place so badly, but it's very mediocre. The service is mediocre, the food is mediocre, and the drinks are mediocre. The one bright spot is the Tequila Old Fashioned.

First off, let me say that I have been going here for years - since they opened! The atmosphere is always so upbeat and open, so I'm always happy to return here! The owner, Brenda, is very involved and very interactive with the customers which makes you feel like home. The menu is consistently changing while still keeping fan faves on lock! Their espresso martinis are one of the best ones I've ever had, and trust me I've had plenty! Their staff is amazing and attentive, which also goes to show what the owner puts into it! One of my go to in the menu is always the BLT salad (sometimes I add shrimp), firecracker shrimp is amazing as well! The Poké bowl is also a favorite of mine! They do also have some of the best fish tacos around! You could probably find me here at least twice a month because it's our go to place and it's conveniently near our house! Big thanks to Curbside for sticking through it all, to include Covid, brining us what we want and updating the menu to keep us on our toes! If you're ever in town or looking for a great place to eat is the place to go! It will not disappoint!

I met my gf here to grab a bite to eat, and I must say I was very impressed. The drinks were good and the burger was amazing. My gf had been there before and she said the shortrib melt was up to par as usual which happens from time to time. I had a good time vibe was very relaxed. Looking forward to coming back to this area to check it all out.

Curbside is a neighborhood cheers. The food is amazing. If you question what to get i encourage you to ask the staff. I had the BLT and chips and it was just enough. I've been coming for years and this is my 3rd menu to try and every time it hits the spot! Love curbside!
