Tumbleweeds Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Huntington Beach

Ok lets be honest, it's less than 6 days before Christmas 2024 and I came here on a Wednesday night. Bar is in a great location, really busy strip mall setting. I got here at 6PM. The Plaza was pretty busy, lots of ppl in the parking lot of this Shopping Plaza. However, the bar had 9 ppl in it, 3 of those were staff. I ordered some food, which to be fair was actually pretty good and the price was set well for the huge plate I received. I see the place boast they've been around 30 years, that's really a great achievement, but let's be honest. It's changed hands a few times and new owners ALWAYS want to change things and make the business grow. Ppl buy names of bars more so they they buy the content. This place needs to have those 2 dilapidated coin pool tables re - done, add at least a CC Swipe option vs coins. Get rid of the dusty decor tucked up on the walls. A coat of paint could do wonders. The mens restroom needs an update too. No one uses a lone bottle of cheap soap sitting on the counter and there be no paper towels available at all to use. This place should be a high point in this neighborhood and be full quite often. The Verizon store across the parking lot saw more customers while I was here. I left here at 8 PM after trying to play a few games of pool on 2 heavily bad pool tables.I drove 9 minutes away and found another pub that had at least 60 ppl in it drinking and engaging w...

I've been here a few times over the past few years. Went there on a Saturday evening recently to get dinner, have a few drinks, and watch a friend's band. The place has never been great, but not terrible, either. My first beer had a brown sludge on the rim on one side of the glass. Luckily, my wife stopped me before I took a sip. I got another beer from the bartender, as my server was nowhere to be found. It took almost an hour to get our food, and it wasn't even crowded yet. What we had was not great. We waited over 45 minutes to get a second drink. Our server was nowhere to be found most of the night. The bar was understaffed for the crowd that came in to watch the band. Some of our friends waited over 20 minutes to get a drink. We finally got fed up and tried to leave. We had to track down our server to get our bill. They were totaling the bill on a cell phone calculator at the bar, as there is no p.o.s. system in place. The prices for the drinks were higher than posted on the menu. When I asked about it, they said that was the bar's policy to charge more when there's a band, even though it didn't say anything about that on the menu, and most of our drinks were ordered before the band went on. The place was just dirty and run down. Other than our friends' band sounding great, the night was a total disappointment. We...

The establishment in question is a dive bar, and as such, one should not anticipate a high level of quality. However, even with this reduced expectation, the establishment falls short in several areas. Firstly, the pricing structure is rather excessive. For instance, a simple soda water consisting solely of ice was priced at $4, while a non-alcoholic michelada composed entirely of ice and bloody mary mix was $6. This constitutes price gouging for items that are typically quite inexpensive. In comparison, Sharkeez offered a superior michelada for $3.50. It is possible that the bartender was displeased by my decision to abstain from alcohol.

Furthermore, the nachos served at this establishment were of exceptionally poor quality, possibly the worst I have ever encountered. It appeared as though an intoxicated individual had haphazardly assembled the dish, and the preparation time was excessively long, approximately one hour. To compound these issues, the service, while polite, was extremely slow. It took approximately another hour simply to...
