Never disappoints. The strawberry infused jalapeño margaritas are amazing. Ventured out and tried their "cowboy caviar" this visit bc why not?! It's Searsucker for goodness sake. PS ~ so good.

Snag a seat at the bar overlooking the kitchen to see the magic happen. And def get the Brussels sprouts as a side... the walnuts, crispy capers, & anchovy vinaigrette give it an unusual umami touch.

The drinks were perfect (dirty vodka martini w/blue cheese stuffed olives & old fashions) and the food was spectacular. Had the duck fat fries and chicken wings. Sit at the bar, amazing bartenders.

The first of Brian Malarkey's restaurant empire to open and its flagship concept; Searsucker adds a needed food-worthy dining destination to the Gaslamp. [Eater 38 Member]

Great atmosphere. The Chef's bar is noisy but a great view of the kitchen & line of sight on delectable dishes. salmon was perfectly cooked with beer blanc sauce. The bone marrow a perfect starter

great atmosphere, and a great place for dinner and drinks before you start you're night on the town! Also an awesome place to end up at after a long night of dancing in the surrounding night clubs

Awesome atmosphere and great food. You can spend alot or a little. Great selection of sharable appetizers in many different food genres with uniqe pairings. Great specialty drinks too !

I had one of the best meals in the past year at Searsucker and for two people it was only $100. I was shocked by how good the small plates were. Try the pork belly and egg!! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Cool place, great food. It's now owned by the owners of Hakkasan group so the music it's awesome.

Some of the best sea scallops I've ever tasted! The ambience is unique, the service is superb, and the patrons are gorgeous. Definitely recommend you bring a date here. Great joint!

Food was wonderful. Atmosphere was wonderful. $$$ but worth every bite. It was our anniversary & tho we didn't order dessert they brought us a little treat - very thoughtful!

Mingle with the hip and beautiful at this creative space and eatery in the Gaslamp. Mushroom toast with burrata and the homemade donuts are not to be missed!

Recommend the green eggs and ham for brunch. If you're here for lunch, the royal with cheese burger is pretty good.
E MarApril 18, 2016
Get one of their signature cocktails. If it's a nice day, sit outside and people watch. Great brunch on the weekends too!
JNETApril 10, 2016
Rich, tasty food. The duck fat fries and pork belly was yum. Pretty atmosphere and near convention center. A bit leisurely in speed of service of though 😁
Karla RenfroFebruary 21, 2012
Great food. Amazing flavors. Dessert was incredible. Restaurant was fairly loud, lots going on inside & tables are placed fairly close to each other - not a bad thing, but not a quite date spot.
Kat SmithJanuary 9, 2014
Start with pickles and shishito peppers and ponzu. Gotta try the small plate of egg+bacon pork belly
Jackie PardueFebruary 28, 2018
Absolutely the best fries we have ever had. This is one of our go to places where you know the service will be as good as the food.
Inga IntriagoFebruary 6, 2014
Been here 5+ times
What happened to the cheese puffers? They are HORRIBLE! They used to be free and the best thing! Now they are burnt and tasteless. Must order the Snake Oil Martini! Best drink in the Gaslamp :)
Roger MaJuly 13, 2015
Old Fashioned is on point! Get it with some Islay Scotch, nice and smoky!
Omar SanchezJune 21, 2016
Good selection of drafted beer and de bar food is just great....we were to early for have dinner and later on were to full...ambiance is great...
SanDiegoStreetStyleSeptember 15, 2014
Great Sunday brunch spot. 3 Eggs Benedict choices (one being Catch of the Day). Extra cool factor when their Sunday DJ started spinning real vinyls. Service was also great.
The FeastJune 13, 2011
Searsucker exemplies the vibe of the Gaslamp District: Pretty people, copious cocktails and a whimsical menu of small plates conceived by local celeb chef Brian Malarkey. Pork belly + eggs are a must.
Tedi JacksonSeptember 30, 2014
Incredible #Kale Caesar salad! I'll be back for this!! Great place for big parties and office lunches!
astamiSeptember 3, 2013
Seriously amazing food. Loved the short ribs, shrimp and grits, beef tartare, and the pork belly... and I ain't a pork belly kind of girl.
Jane NationJuly 12, 2011
Bravo's Top Chef finalist Brian Marlarkey has done an amazing job. Be sure to leave room for dessert tho Doughnuts & Chocolate = Malted dark chocolate cream & cinnamon sugar donuts. Sinfully delish!
Katharine RelthMarch 25, 2013
Definitely get a reservation on weekends for dinner. We were almost an hour late and they STILL sat us. Super accommodating. And the food was perfect.
Dan FetznerJune 28, 2016
Love this place - great food, great drinks, great vibe. Definitely check it out if you're in the Gas Lamp District and need a bite to eat.

Hubs loved the crab cake. The Tabasco gels are really good. PS) no breading in this, which means no filler!
Michæl BrettNovember 22, 2015
Food here is amazing! Service good too. Can get busy and a bit loud, plus there's a DJ at weekends.
Kristin W.September 20, 2013
my kind of place! classic+modern, abstract artwork, upbeat jams, earthy colors, full bar! note: this place is VERYeasy on the eyes :)
Steven YSeptember 7, 2013
Some of the best pork chops I've ever had - incredibly tender and complemented perfectly with the grape demi glaze and fig
Marc CarterMarch 7, 2011
This place was awesome! In town for my bday and had the best time. Megan was the best waiter and the food was amazing! Corn off the cob, health food cocktail and cowboy caviar made the night...
Stephanie SabolSeptember 16, 2012
Got in with no reservation on a Saturday night at 6:30. Had the duck fat fries, scallops, and brussels sprouts. All amazing. Skip the artichoke dip. Tongue and cheek was just okay.
Keith QuebodeauxJune 8, 2015
Cuban sandwich is fantastic and they have Societe and Alesmith on tap.
J DruniJanuary 6, 2016
Go straight to the shared dishes (aka "tapas"). The best by far is the pork belly.
Christopher FerebeeNovember 22, 2015
The duck fat fries have a "prosciutto dusting." They're incredible. Short rib is not to be missed either.
What's Good HereNovember 2, 2014
Nice interpretation of biscuits and gravy. Hint of rosemary and plentiful bits of sausage
Paul McKinneyFebruary 21, 2013
Best mussels I have ever had. Huge. Fantastic presentation and the sauce is ridiculous. Best appetizer in the Gas Lamp!
Madame No NameJuly 26, 2013
One of the best place in Gaslamp district! You can have dinner or just a drink! Everything was perfect!
Bort RJanuary 27, 2012
duck fat fries, brie triple, mussels&chorizo, mushrooms&burrata... all amazing. snake oil martini's got a bite- skip the martini glass though
Patti PierceApril 11, 2015
Good drinks and great fries. Loved the ambience. Knowledgeable wait staff. Great place for lunch.
What's Good HereNovember 2, 2014
It's brunch. Get this - Dr. Seuss-inspired Green Eggs and Ham - nestled egg + pork belly + brioche + herbs
Belinda BrownMarch 16, 2013
The smalls and bites menu is great for sharing and honestly was a meal in itself. Excellent food and atmosphere!
Jay RamspergerDecember 30, 2012
The bacon grits you have to try; even if you don't like grits. I could easily live off those. They're that good.
Sarah RoseAugust 17, 2013
Excellent meal - mussel appetizer was outrageous! Mahi entree was perfect and the Peter rabbit cocktail was so good I had two!
Jenny SoxxApril 17, 2016
awesome donuts on the brunch menu. Reminds me of the cider mills back in Michigan during fall :)
Emily LaytonJune 17, 2015
great place to lounge if you want drinks and a DJ. order the Lt. Dan with duck fat fries
Elyse EstradaNovember 24, 2010
Lunch just started a week ago and the salads are delish. Get the chop chop with fennel, salami, chickpeas, olives and Parmesan cheese in a lemon vinaigrette.
Nancy PantsMarch 9, 2014
The Sunday Bloody Sunday is the best brunch item. Order toast to sop up the chipotle bacon grits!
