Hmmmm where should I begin? I have actually had some good times at the 5th Q especially on trivia nights. The Beer is solid and the food while mediocre is at least predictably so in a comfort food sort of way. However after tonight I doubt I'll ever go back. I van understand being in the weeds but at 6:30 pm they were already out of one of the main menu options and were unsure about the half chicken dinner. Waited about 15 min for my drink to hear "we have the chicken and I ordered it. About 10min later out came the chicken, clearly lacking the color of being roasted. More like a pale off grey and clearly under cooked. But sometimes chickens can look bland especially if there's alot of steam in the oven. I cut into it and the blood started flowing. If that thing had been in the oven more than 10 min I'd be surprised. TOTALLY disgusting and absolutely unacceptable!!!! I said to the server "I'm out and left." I called back a little later to see if there was a number to contact the owner and they wouldn't give it to me and told me to email at the website. Yeah I'm never going back.

OK I go to the 5th some what often....today i ordered the chicken strips...WTF, they were dry a F! Did they start buying pre-cooked chicken or what? NOT HAPPY! My wife ordered the Beet salad with chicken....WTF! Chicken dry as F!

Dear 5th Quadrant owner...you brew beer and serve food! You can afford to serve quality meats.....how about this....quality control too. Get off your bike and check in on your business!

Sincerely...your neighbor!

I have to agree that there is one total bitch who works there but the rest of the staff is fine. Can't argue with cheap beer on Tuesdays and the food is typical good Lompoc bar food. Lighting sucks ass but eh who really cares. Outdoor patio is great, didn't know about the $4 mason jars, that's amazing!

The waitress was a bitch from the start. The appetizer we split was fine. The heated smoking patio was awesome. But when our table got cut off after 3 or 4 drinks (mostly High Life) from the bitch of waitress, that was the end. When discussing amongst ourselves about canceling our dinner order, the waitress called me assultive and told me to leave. After speaking to the manager and getting nother but a "uh sorry", I can tell you I will never go back and never recommend this joint to anyone. What happened to good ol' customer service?

I live right around the corner from this place. Its too damn convienent, and too damn good to deny. Best thing ever? 4$ Mason Jars of whatever beer they have on tap. Oh yeah, 2$ bloody Mary's on Sundays are great too..

Was here Sunday, then again today; had the same things: Gimlets and Fish&Chips. Consistent. 5Q's just fine; for the price of some of its menu cocktails: C. For its food: B. For its service: B+. I was able to get a good deal of clinical text-studying done here during rush hour, whilst getting my drink on. Service was good; funny folk. Pix, a neighbor, is an interesting establishment.

Why did you have to bring the Hedge House to NoPo? I love the Lompocs beer and food. Been a fan since the pub opened on 23rd 7+ years ago. Lunch time help is great and attentive but if you go in the evening time the staff seems to forget you are there, which really sucks when you just want a couple of beers and some light snacks. Bees have become interesting as of late and dont seem to be as good as they use to. Not sure what is going on but please give us back our original 5th Quadrant! Please!
