Home Plate Ucsd - La Jolla

After we walk over this vast campus to the cool buildings and try to find the sculptures, we were in need of a break and discovered this place selling beer. Had an excellent Blue Cheese Burger and a great craft brew. My buddy had a Cesar salad that wasn't so exciting, but then it was again a Cesar salad, not the most exciting choice.

About $16 for a burger, pommes, and a soda is a little for what I received. Portions and quality were good, but not at the price. I would eat there again, safe as I am on campus, but not often. Location was clean, staff friendly. Not the fastest place to eat. It wasn't busy with any means....can be 5 people, but took some time to get my food....I think about 20min or something. It was long enough that I started looking at my watch and worried that my 1 hour lunch break would not be long enough.

A decent place to meet with small to large groups of friends. I checked this place twice with 10-15 people and we could arrange a large table on the second floor. There is a decent selection of food and beer, so don't worry about your veggie and gluten-free friends. I got a caprese sandwich, and while I preferred the martini or its urbanity, the sandwich served its purpose. The portions were goldilocks; neither leave me too full nor empty. When your order is up, they call your name, its a little hard to hear from the top floor, so if you have a large group, it is a good idea to get someone, wait on the bottom floor and act as a server. Altogether a Selfservice/10

Since the rebuild/rebrand, food has become better. Appropriately expensive and very tasty. I'm going here to eat football and watch if I have some time. Super good vegetarian options, and the food comes out quickly.
