Phileas Foggs - San Diego

This place worth five stars! I?ve tried the scotch egg, Irish stew, and my husband had classic fish n chips and a cup of black beer. Both of us like the food! It made us feel comfortable and warm. Actually it?s my first time dining in an English restaurant. The atmosphere is amazing. There are flowers on each table. The light smell of rose was just a hint and could level up the dining experience. The only thing might be improved is that the service is relatively slow, because they only have two people working during lunch time. But nothing to complain about because they are really nice people, sweet and friendly. Strongly recommend!

Unassuming little restaurant bar in a strip mall. The furniture seems somewhat out of place and cluttered, but still comfortable. Great selection of beers on tap. The food was shockingly good! We had the Fish n Chips and Irish Stew. Seasoning was perfect, food was really outstanding. I probably wouldn't go again since the atmosphere was meh, but I'm absolutely hooked on their English food now so I can't wait to eat there again.

I had to try it (Sun 11-6-22 1:30pm) because of rave reviews by an acquaintance. I opted for the fish and chips take out. I have to note the fish, as well as the batter was not seasoned with any type of seasonings, not even salt. I had to use the dressing it came with for taste. The fries did not taste fresh, soggy. Disappointed by the taste (for the price $20), I could have gotten fresher/tastier at Long John Silver's for 1/2 the price.

Definitely a Britash Pub hole-in-the wall, but don't let the decor fool you. The food is really good. We had the lamb Shepard's pie which was excellent! Lots of black pepper if you like that. The fish and chips looked really good too!

Understanding it is a bar, not all come in for alcohol. Was surprised the only Iced Tea was canned Sweet Tea. Food was excellent, had the French Dip. Other restaurants offer an option to add bacon to a French Dip, when I asked about doing that I was given a wierd look and told no. Other than no Iced Tea or not being allowed to add bacon to sandwich it was an otherwise great experience.
