Reviews for Kimball Coastal Eatery in National City, CA
This place was alright. I wouldn’t say I was blown away by any means… the pizza was ok, the steak tacos were good but needed... a drizzle or sauce and some salt. Nothing was bad, but nothing I have to go back for. Nice, clean, and convenient if you’restaying the area, but I probably wouldn’t go back. Read more
Kimball retains some of the former restaurant's "goodies". New seating is very nice and comfortable. Service is attentive and... friendly. The salmon was delicious. Shrimp tacos were full of flavor and they had a little kick off spice in it too. Good placeanytime of the day. Read more
The Good: This place is very clean, the food was light and not greasy. The Bad: there is no clear distinction on the menu that... protein is a separate charge and the waitress was deceiving acting like it came with the salad. Don't be fooled. I thought I wasgoing to get a light meal split and ended up spending almost 50 dollars for a salad and a quesadilla. Steak was tough and hardto chew. The Ugly: this place is cold being sat indoors, had to wait to get a refill on water after a guy asked if I needed arefill then came back after several trips past our table. To make matters worse, the waitress brought a device to our table thendidn't have a total for me then asked for my card with out being shown a receipt or a bill. I don't know what scam this place isrunning but I will not be going back to this place ever again. Read more
Great restaurant, pleasant atmosphere indoors and outdoors. Friendly staff, everyone comes across very genuine. Large outdoor... space and the indoor dining wasn't cramped at all. The food is delicious and beautiful presentation. The bartender even offeredup a sample taste of a special NYE drink for tomorrow night. We ordered a variety of food and everything was superb.

Wow! I couldn’t be happier with our experience at Kimball! I got the ribs and they are sooo good. They really fall off the... bone and the sauce is made in house. Hands down the best ribs I’ve ever eaten. For my sides I got broccolini and sweet potatofries. I love that the sweet potato fries are waffle cut and the broccolini was surprisingly good with the chili oil. The drinkmenu is impressive. There are about a dozen different margaritas and a dozen more unique cocktails. I’m going to be back herea lot to try these bc they all look enticing. I tried their version of a Cadillac margarita and it was delicious! I love thaton both the drink and food menu most if not all of the syrups and sauces are made in house. There are a lot of unique flavorcombinations. You can tell that the menu has been curated with great attention to detail and that really shines through in thequality and taste of the food. Our service was also excellent. Our server was nice, friendly, fun, and made sure we were welltaken care of. Overall the restaurant has a welcoming, cheerful ambiance. And there is music on the back patio on the weekends. Read more
