Description

You can excuse most patrons of this Costa Mesa restaurant if all they concentrate on is getting hammered heavenly. After all, the Karl Strauss brewing process is so refined it could probably make a fine lager out of Santa Ana River water. But to obsess over their brews does disservice to their smoky steaks, surprisingly tasteful salads and magnificent hoagies.
