★★★★☆ 4.0 Patrick Jaime · Mar 2026

Green Chile Cheeseburger was a mediocre 6.1. Both patty and green chile lacked seasoning, but chile was nice and spicy. Liked the toasted brioche bun and fries I absolutely love. Straight from the tater. Wife had the wings and really enjoyed the spicy Korean sauce. Service was exceptional and love the atmosphere and would definitely go again to try the fish and chips

★★★★☆ 4.0 Vin Roybal · Jun 2025

I really like this place. The service this time was outstanding. The food is very good. I recommend the shrimp basket or the fried fish and chips. I’ve had a burger here. It was delicious. The tables were a little sticky.

Service was terrible, half our food was served the other half took 15-20 minutes. My mother in law was upset and I suggested talking to a manager. Both the manager and then the owner were unwilling to take responsibility. That’s a $12 appetizer as it was served to us. The atmosphere was fine, I guess.

Excellent little hidden gem. We are literally sitting in here right now. We stopped in on the way to Albertsons and boy am I glad. We ordered a few IPA’s they (have a great selection) and we got the pretzel 🥨 with the spicy mustard and beer cheese is supreme. Our waitress Kelly is just lovely and attentive. Highly recommend. Will likely be here for the Super Bowl! ***UPDATE*** 3/20/24 5 pm. It’s been a few months since we’ve been here, and this time we got actual food. I got the Grilled Chicken Club. The freshly baked bread truly allows the chicken, cheese, pickled red onions and fresh avocado to shine. Fantastic service from Aspen, paired with a wonderfully chilled atmosphere. They are open to 9 on most nights. No shots allowed, but they do serve beer, wine and mixed drinks. My husband

★★★★☆ 4.0 Christina Esterly · Dec 2025

Great food! We love eating here. Nice owner. Service has improved from a couple years ago. My only complaint is how loud it is. TVs blaring so loud that you can’t talk. Especially when we went for Sunday breakfast…can’t handle that level of noise in the morning.
