“Prestons' Ginger Beer is by far one of the best ginger beverages you can find in SoCal.”
Five stars. Roger had been a fan since buying a bottle at Jimbo’s downtown, recommended the original flavor first, and suggested grabbing a case for Kentucky or Moscow mules.
Stay in the neighborhood
A Miramar seafood buffet Roger rated 3 stars as average, saying the crab legs were the only reason to go (and not always fresh), while raising a cleanliness concern about tuna and salmon seen thawing on the floor near the sashimi station.
Roger found this San Diego Chinese buffet decent but unremarkable, disagreeing with its own ads claiming to be the biggest buffet in town; he noted unusual selections like fried frog legs among the offerings and said it wasn't a spot he'd hit regularly.
