We saw this place advertised on Facebook and thought we'd check it out for lunch. It looks like it was bought by new owners in 2019 but still goes by both the old name and the new one, depending on where you look. There is no West Coast Smoke and Taproom on Yelp but there are recent reviews at the same address for West Coast BBQ and Brew.The hostess/server could not have been more helpful, friendly and kind. She was right on the ball with drinks and checking up on us. I would return just for her excellent service. The food was good. My hubs had a patty melt with juicy meat, soft sweet onions and perfectly grilled marbled rye. The meat did not have a smoky or chargrilled taste, but it was still really good. It did not come with any sides, although there are fries, rings, tots, all available for an ala cart price. , We ordered nachos with grilled chicken as an appetizer, and again, they were good, but it did not taste like smokey or bbq'd chicken. Nice crunchy fresh tortilla chips and lots of guacamole and toppings, but $19 because we added chicken. We don't normally eat in a bar environment so maybe food is just more expensive? And maybe this is what 'bar food' is? I had a half sandwich and soup. The sandwich options were tuna or cashew chicken, and I had the latter. It was fine, but nothing special. The celery and cashews were crunchy and fresh, but it was just a huge stack of mixed greens and a small scoop of chicken salad on wheat bread. A decent sandwich made in your aunt's kitchen, but not restaurant worthy. The soup was meatball and vegetable, and tasted fresh. Overall, we will go back again and maybe try the brisket, since it does have the names Smoke and BBQ in their titles. I can't speak for the beer selections, so maybe the taproom's claim to fame is their beer. But again, the service was wonderful the lunch food was good but expensive, and the taphouse overall is worth another try.

Great local spot in LA Mesa! Went during a padres game and they had the bar full, took about 5 min to get a table so that was great! Staff is very friendly and make you feel like home. They have a lot of great food items like burgers, ribs, brisket. I got the beer cheeseburger which had beer cheese all over it, definitely recommend if you're a cheese lover! Also got the side of onion rings which were also really good. This is a great family spot that's welcomed to everyone!

Wow, great food, good portions, the wait staff were stupendous. Kind of a hike in the wall, but highly recommended!

Great atmosphere, casual, fun with great staff and bar and kitchen is very good also! A great neighborhood hangout in La Mesa!

Trash. The waitress was impatient, unfriendly and not good at her job. Took tables that sat after us, got my order wrong, charged for BBQ sauce on the side? If you're not going to write the order down, you better get it right. Why even ask how I want my meat if you're going to burn it anyway? Bland ass $18 burger that's dryer than the desert with no sides. Never again. Fuck this shitty dive.

The beer selection was amazing, the corned beef tacos and Sonoma salad were delicious! Our server Mallory was so friendly, knowledgeable about the beers and menu, and she mad our evening a very enjoyable one. Can't wait to come back!

Food the best/ great service/ great beer/ had their west coast salad with brisket: bomb/ had the nectarine IPA/nothing like an ice cold beer on a warm day/they even let my dog hang out while we were eating//great place to hang out

The food and the craft beer selection continues to be awesome. The service is great and you feel like you're more part of a family than just a customer.There are a lot of standards but a couple of them are the pulled pork with coleslaw sandwich and the albondigas meatball soup. check out the photos.
