Pastrami Reuben at Public House 131 in San Diego's beautiful Scripps Ranch neighborhood was excellent! Prepared "New York Style" with 1000 Island dressing, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and mustard on rye bread. Comes with a pickle spear and your choice of side. I always love their hot, crispy onion rings. This Reuben is among the best you'll find in SoCal without going to an old-school Jewish deli. The sandwich is stacked with a generous amount of pastrami and thoughtfully constructed. It's really the perfect balance. It's not so huge that you have to dislocate your jaw to eat it. Public House 131 is a fantastic local gastropub with a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.

Stopped in for lunch. Was seated quickly. Jane was our server and she was so lovely and kind. The lobster roll was amazing, thr fries remind me of the fries I had in the UK. The space is really nice, bright and the music wasn't super loud. I'll definitely be back to try more.

Decent 4/5 experience Food was cooked hot and fresh I ordered the Salmon while my mom ordered the lobster roll. She loved the lobster roll. Sometimes places make lobster rolls with more bread than meat but this was the perfect balance of lobster lettuce and bread. My salmon was alright. I think my expectations were too high. But I enjoyed the veggies and how hot & fresh the salmon was cooked. Mom loved her lemon drop I didn't enjoy my P.O.G punch it wasn't as sweet as other punches it tasted like captain Morgan's with a splash of lemon or pineapple juice The bartender was also our server and she was very attentive and kind. I enjoyed the relaxed vibe of this place. There's even a cute little tic tac toe area with comfy seats. Outdoor seating is available and as we left we noticed there were shades coming down to keep the area nice and shades which is amazing! If we knew they had shades we probably would've eaten outside because it was nice and quiet outside as opposed to inside. We will most likely return as it's a convenient and cool little spot with a variety of items on the menu. There's also so many cocktails at this place. I'm looking forward to trying other items next time for a better experience for sure.

Came in on a Sunday afternoon, not too busy and was able to be seated immediately. Started off with an order of fries and a pretzel. Fries were fresh and d crispy with the right amount of seasoning. Pretzel was warm, buttery and soft. Ordered the Wagyu beef burger with sweet potato fries (extra cost). Beef had great flavor and moist. Sweet potato fries were warm and crispy like the regular fries. Lot of TVs around the bar to watch sports. Good spot to eat, drink, and watch sports on the Scripps Ranch area of San Diego.

English Toffee Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream is I ordered fish and chips. Their fried fish was ok but their fries were perfectly seasoned and with right amount of crunchiness. I also really liked sweet potato fries. The place was busy but our waiter was attentive. He recommended the dessert and it was worth the calories. They also have a long list of beer on tap and offer happy hour. Don't forget to check in for a treat!

Loved it here! Met up with a couple of friends. We stayed indoors but they have outdoor seating too! Plenty of beer options...see picture. I tasted two different IPAs and they were amazing. Service was fast and efficient for beer and ordering food. I also ordered a double burger (recommended from the server) and it was phenomenal. The burger was cooked perfectly medium and the flavor was delish! The fries were crunchy and amazing as well. I'd definitely come back here!

Came for a late lunch with friends at 2pm on a Tuesday. There were 4 of us in our party and we were seated immediately upon walking in. The booths were all taken up, but there was a nice table available in the side corner by the window that the host suggested. We were seated and the server asked us about drinks. 3 of us wanted water and 1 of us ordered a juice. Drinks came out right away and we were also able to order the Birria fries appetizer. That Birria Fries appetizer IS DELICIOUS! I recommend it fully. Food entrees ordered: Beef Sliders x 2, Wedge Salad with Shrimp added, and Mashed Potato Flatbread Pizza. Everything was very tasty according to everyone in our party. The customer service here is awesome. We appreciate the staff, ambience, and wonderful food. We will continue to visit because they are still outstanding.
