Kaminski's Sports Lounge and BBQ

Came here to watch the Canelo PPV boxing fight on a Saturday night. The place was not super crowded which was nice, they did charge a fee per person to watch the fight, but no minimum food or drink required. Shoutout to Gabe one of the servers, he was awesome and provided get recommendations on what to try.We ordered the Bbq Sampler to share it came with 2 types of pulled pork, chicken, beef brisket, baby back ribs, fries, coleslaw, and choice of Texas toast or rolls, we chose the Texas toast. Our favorite was the beef brisket it was juicy and tender, our least favorite was the chicken. It was dry and needed more seasonings. The baby back ribs and pulled pork were also good. Also make sure you opt for the Texas toast it was very cheesy and flavorful.

I had to update this review based on the total lack of service received (never got food/water) and increased prices in my recent visit for trivia. This comes from someone who used to be a regular here going weekly for 2-3 years until Rick left. I was shocked that a server NEVER came despite being there from 6:20 - 9 pm. No water, never took our orders. After waiting a hour and making eye contact and smiling at servers we decided not to go out of our way to chase them down as we were busy playing trivia, which was nearly half over, (plus it's gotten expensive). They were busy, but there were a couple open tables and we were seated in doors at our former usual spot, so I don't think this was acceptable.Regarding the food/prices- I usually order a couple sides as a vegetarian because their veggie burger isn't very good for $18 (extra $3 if you want an impossible patty) and they don't really have any other worthwhile vegetarian/vegan entres unless you want a pricey salad without protein or a $14 basic grilled cheese. My jaw dropped when I saw the baked potato was $9 - and this is the version with just butter and sour cream. If you want cheese or chives that costs like $3.50 extra. I remember when it was $5 just a few years ago. The slam dunk sampler used to be $22 is now $34. I could go on. Overall, we used to go because we had fun at trivia and enjoyed the experience - it was never about the food itself for me or my boyfriend who does eat meat. So, now, it really doesn't have much appeal at all with the lack of service and costly average/mediocre food.Another note, a while back we had purchased a coupon card from the Poway High School football team at trivia one night because it would take 10% off our orders during that calendar year. We solely purchased this card due to the discount at Kaminskis, but after using it a few weeks they stated a change in policy where they refused to honor it on trivia nights. That was pretty lame seeing as that was a retroactive change that wasn't communicated/posted, and it's the only night we and others who purchased the card go. I would come from Carlsbad, so I certainly wasn't going out of my way to eat there anytime else.

The food needs a serious upgrade The atmosphere in this place was decent There seems to be Karaoke on Fridays along with a Trivia night during the week Parking is decent there's only a few spots in the front but about 15 more towards the back But we were Seriously Disappointed The food tastes as if it was frozen then microwaved No seasoning, bland and cold My daughter enjoyed her BBQ ribs and fries which was great My mother asked for spinach instead of steamed veggies and they gave her Raw spinach as if she ordered a salad My veggies were watery The salmon was even cold and bland We ordered a side of Texas Toast and received cheese bread which was another disappointment My drink tasted like sweet sugar water Then I switched to a Trojan tini which was another candy drink wasteThe bartender left for about twenty minutes and the people at the bar had to ask waitresses nearby to serve them which interesting to witness Unfortunately we will not be returning But again the atmosphere is nice and the outside seating area was nice as they have games like Connect 4 for the family to enjoy

Great bbq , great family owned restaurant, great service, and great atmosphere, love this place

Came here for an impromptu dinner on a Tuesday and had great service! This place definitely deserves to have "sports lounge" in their name, it would be a great spot for a game day of any kind. LOVED the nachos. They were very impressive and are a great meal to share! We also got the hot links and peppers flatbread (not pictured) which was great. Would visit here again.

Just an ok place to be. This is certainly a family spot with food that is fine, nothing to write home about. I had the beef ribs which were super fatty, tater tots, and baked beans. I felt like the tater tots and baked beans were something I could replicate from the freezer aisle at any grocery store. I won't be back.

Service was amazing and the margaritas from Mike were great! They have plenty of space to accommodate my large family! So happy we found another delicious place to eat!!

We reserved this location for an office holiday lunch, over 40 people total and we did pack in the reserved back area of the restaurant.Mike was our waiter and he managed the group incredibly well. Big shout out to Mike and the whole staff for making this an incredibly memorable lunch. Orders were taken and food came out incredibly fast which was a shock for a group this size. With this many people I am totally shocked that everyone enjoyed their food and not one person had a negative comment! We tried a large majority of the menu and I can tell you the food looked great and plates were going back completely empty. Beautiful indoor and outdoor seating, lots of room for a date or large groups. Drink (soda fountain) area is clean and constantly being wiped down and kept free of clutter or spills. Super clean and well organized. Clean restrooms as well. Large parking area in front and rear with easy in and off access from the main road.Highly recommended!

Service was great! Our server Mike was very knowledgeable and friendly and kept our drinks and plates full! Food was good, it was nice to have some vegan options. We were there to watch a soccer game and the large screens didn't disappoint! Can't wait to return to watch more sporting events

Mike at the bar is great! Marsha the owner is amazing and took care of us. Very family friendly and great sports bar with great food & atmosphere !
