We recently went there for a late lunch, I must first state that my husband and I were loyal clients when Trophy's was there...specially after going to a game or to watch a game! So, we finally decided to give Randy a chance...
The kid's pizza was DELICIOUS!
My husband had the Charger Burger, the meat was good but the burger needed mayonnaise, it definitely could have done without the arugula (that's what I think it was) lettuce could have done just fine! Now their "home-made" chips, too bland and a bit to greasy for our taste, fries would have been great! Wish you could get Trophy's fries recipe hehe. He rated his plate as AVERAGE.
I had the Petco Park Pork Sandwich, it was a good sandwich, the salad/ salsa it came with lacked, yet again, flavor, NOT A FAN AT ALL, it looked pretty thou! Coleslaw would have gone great with this dish, and I'm not a big fan of it ;) It also came accompanied with chips, blah!
Service was average, it was a bit slow due to time I think, but yet there was no one in the front to greet us; towards the end of our meal I asked for a 2nd refill as our pretty server rushed by our table....we noticed her reaction to be as if I had asked her for a favor, OK I WON'T BE NIT PICKY ABOUT THIS LOL. Â
Overall, we loved writing on our paper table covers (kids got a kick out of it as they remembered when we used to go their), the placed look great, loved seeing screens everywhere!
WE WILL be going again, everyone deserves a 2nd chance specially because of the nostalgic memories we have of that location but most importantly because we are TRUE PADRES AND CHARGERS FANS and just feel the need to "keep the faith!"
At this point I find myself back at Randy Jones. Sometime in between writing my first review and now, Randy Jones has become some sort of Mecca to my frequent out of town visitors. It's their little slice of local. Case in point, my Salt Lake buddy arrived last week and says, "We watching the fight at Randy Jones?" He's great with the rhetorical questions.
Onwards!
So my friends now take my previous review far too seriously and just assume we can show up to Silva vs. Weidman ANY TIME and Randy Jones himself will just escort us to a free table. WRONG! I finally got them in gear and we arrive to a packed house and no tables. We found some stools near a pool table and posted up for the undercard. I'm sitting their with my Texas lady friend extolling the virtues of Dave Winfield, Randy Jones, and Tony Gwynn (all of which she possessed no knowledge of, an absolute tragedy, BUT she'll be happy to tell you all about how Texas is God's gift to mankind and show no proof whatsoever). We get beer. We ask passing waitress for a menu and proceed to live life. And this is where our story gets awkward... Mr. Manager, I love you guys, you don't charge cover on fight nights and you simply rock, but we couldn't get a menu or food all night. I'm all for a night of a few beers and watching a fight, but I like to think of my relationship with Randy Jones as a partnership. You buy the fight, I buy food. It's a win-win for both of us. Unfortunately, I think we had a lose-win last weekend and it was you who didn't end up on top. I left feeling like a leech who clung on to a cheap night, but we tried. Really we did. So next time let's agree to this: get us food. Cause I couldn't drink as much as I wanted to due to an empty stomach and keys in my pocket and I just don't want to leave with that feeling that I was cheating you out of your due.
4 stars again because I got to watch whatever that Silva vs Weidman-thing-was-cause-it-certainly-wasn't-a-Âfight on the cheap.
I hated this place. It really sucked. The waitress was sour and the food was sub-par. We ordered the fish and chips, the chips being -actual- chips. I guess they want to keep it "All-American." Okay. That'd be alright if they weren't all burnt. The fish was soggy and there were only three pieces. For $11 you'd expect better. Â The tartar sauce was interesting. I'll give them that.
This place gets one star for the beer selection. It was decent. Also, the waitress wrote her name on the table upside down and backwards. That merits another star.
I'll probably never come here again and I'll probably steer people clear of it.
