Contribute Feedback What Keagan Heathcote likes about Balboa:
I had tried to go to Balboa shortly after it opened with a group of friends, but it was slammed and the wait was long. Since then I'd been hesitant to go, because I value convenience. However, this Friday I was able to get out of work a little early and managed to get a happy hour patio seat around 4:30. Let me tell you, I was hugely surprised by the quality of the food.

What Rosalyn Smitham doesn't like about Balboa:
McKenzie our server was disinterested, never came to offer refills. Stated I don't know beer so I can't help as her initial contact. Overall a long wait for food despite being there at 5:30 on a week night. Brisket tender but no flavor, desert was dry and not really edible. Shrimp enchilada was delicious though. View all feedback.
Poor service. 30 minutes after the order has not seen a waiter
I've been to ballboa before. this time, it was terrible. I took a friend for taco Tuesday and shaved about how good the tacos were, but this time they were only bad overall. all our food was cold, even the meat on our tacos! very disappointed :
I really wanted to like this place. Nice location and outdoor patio on busy Grandview Ave. Unfortunately, the food was super disappointing. My husband and I both ordered the chopped salad with a lime/ginger vinaigrette. It was tasteless. (we asked for extra dressing that didn't help) The protein (chicken) was similarly tasteless. (no grilled taste, or even the hint of seasonings) My daughter was with the chicken tortilla soup as well. We are not food snobs at all.... but will not be returning to Balboa any time soon.
This is a OUTSTANDING place. I hope our future visits are as good.
Loved our time here! Gorgeous weather and patio seating on a late summer evening. Food was great!
