Love it! We had a party of 6 so we had to wait at the bar until a table was ready. Only took about 20 minutes (January travelers) so it wasn't peak season. We ordered the Mystic Midnight at the bar and it was delicious. The bartender gave us the tip to keep our receipt and we could get 10% off in the gift shop. Got our table and they have QR codes for the menus since Covid. We got each of the appetizers. We liked all of them. The goat cheese is on the fancier side and I probably wouldn't reorder but it was nice to try something new. Got burgers for our main course. They are huge! Easily could have

I had read about the sweet tea honey fried chicken. It sounded great, this would be the under statement of the year. This was the most tender, greatest chicken I've ever had in my life! The mashed potatoes and green beans were perfectly cooked and as yummy as can be. Considering I had two drinks an appitser and two entrees it was only about $60. So for a restaurant that is prominently featured in a television series to be this reasonably priced was outstanding! We had the best server I've had in a long time. I'll definitely dine here again before I leave town.

It was truly lovely. I believe the inside was remodeled and it's a bit smaller than the show (no surprise and no biggie) but the food was super good (try the grilled cheese, you won't regret it... and I never get grilled cheese at a restaurant) and on the side is a little gift shop with a show meauseum with awesome things to do and a map of the neighborhood to help you find the houses from the show. Next door is the clock tower and across is the statue center as well. Nonetheless is was phenomenal experience I had with two best friends who also love the show as much as I do. Don't forget to grab

We loved the Mystic grill! As big vampire diaries fans we had to try this place. We went the week before Halloween and the were doing a Harry Potter theme which was cool. The sweet tea fried chicken was delicious, next time I will order extra gravy and substitute the green beans as they were a bit too crunchy for my taste. The sinful Salvatore drink was amazing. We sat on the rooftop which was perfect. Our server was Andrew and Addie also helped us out, I have to say that was the best service I've had in a long time! They were very friendly and informative about the area. We already can't wait

Their falafel here is just ok. Not super flavorful but not near as dry as most falafel so it is one of the better ones.
Their spinach pie is pretty good with the garlic sauce.
Service was just average. Nothing over the top friendly plans helpful but definetly didn't go out of their way to engage the customers.

I've gone back a few times since this review. I must say I did see a notable dip in quality and quantity during the 2020 pandemic time period and reduced my patronage. However, they seem to have realized this and my most recent visit was spot on like the place I used to know. Because of the back/forth I'm going to move down a star but not firmly declare them either perfect or mediocre.

It's all about Vampire Diaries
Fried green tomatoes are good excellent. Sweet tea chicken is good. Nothing spectacular about the burger.
They brought appetizer at the same time as entrees after waiting about 45 min.to.get a table. That's annoying
We sat at the high tops next to the bar in our primary waiter was the bartender so it's difficult to get his attention because he had duties else where.
Decor is great, staff is nice.
Wait is long....long. long

This was our first restaurant in San Diego, and boy were we surprised! We're not a huge fan of middle eastern food, as we didn't have the best experience before, but this place was definitely the exception. The restaurant was clean, and the food was delicious. The owner Umar and his son Muhammed were excellent hosts--one of the best middle eastern restaurant we've been to.
As this was our first time here, Umar suggested we try the mixed shawarma plate (chicken and beef) and beef kufta (ground) kabob as they didn't have the beef tikka (pieces) kabob. He even gave us a skewer

Great quality food from this local restaurant. If we're ever stuck on what to eat for dinner, Mystic Grill is at the top of our list. The chicken shawarma wrap is my favorite, the meat is so tasty and the sauce is delicious. I literally order it every time. Their prices can't be beat for the quality and quantity of food that you're getting.
Mystic Grill is also an excellent catering option. We had them cater for our COVID wedding in my parents' backyard. The set up was so clean and professional, the food was top quality, and it made the whole day feel a little bit more special

SCHWARMA! They got beef schwarma, chicken schwarma, gyros, kabobs, seafood, and all sorts of wonderful Mediterranean dishes at very affordable prices, most plates cost $11-14. These plates come with a side salad, pita, yellow rice

Look no further for authentic, and some of the best Mediterranean food in San Diego! Mystic Grill is a local mom and pop shop with delicious eats. Dare I say fusion, as they even have pizza!
The atmosphere is casual, clean and friendly. You order first at the counter, they'll bring your food out to you. I came during the lunch rush, and tried the chicken shawarma plate.
Let me just say I was blown away - best hummus I've had in a long time! They're very generous with their portions, so you'll definitely leave feeling happy! The chicken was flavorful and the salad refreshing

Fantastic experience at Mystic. Located in the back corner of a strip mall, don't let the unassuming outside deter you from trying it.
Upon stepping in, you'll notice the extremely clean and bright decor. I've been eating more plant-based recently and was immediately drawn to the vegetarian plate per the recommendation of the employee.
It features a bit of everything: from classics like hummus and falafel to their homemade spinach pastry and vegetarian mousaka.
To be candid everything was absolutely delicious with massive portions and reasonable pricing. I find myself frequently
