Campus JAX 3950 Campus Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660

"Such a great local venue for great live music. I go there often. BUT, they recently changed the menu (deleted their beloved Cubano sandwich), and their kitchen is just overworked. Your order comes out an hour later. Servers are overworked… it’s not their fault. And last night, a new bartender poured ZERO vodka into my girl’s three vodka and cranberry drinks, but had the nerve to up-charge us $1 per drink, for less ice and more juice. When she forgot to add the vodka? Sympathies to the owner. Not his fault his people are embarrassing him. BUT, beware! Wait-staff and bad bartenders do not deserve to be tipped, until they act professionally and show some respect towards their customers, before they cost the owners thousands in lost business, cause despite the good bands, the terrible service is what this place will be known for."

"This was my second time at Campus Jax. The musicians are very talented and the staff is great, except for the server that took our order that night, Cambria. My husband's fries were cold and my salad was drenched in dressing. We didn't send it back because we were pretty hungry and just wanted to enjoy the music performance. I ordered a mango madness margarita. I was looking forward to it because it came with tajin on the rim. When I got my drink, it was missing tajin. I waved the server down and asked "is this supposed to have tajin?". She said she would get some for me and left before I finished my sentence. She came back with a small plate of tajin. I didn't want to take it, but she placed the plate on the table and left before I could say anything. I wanted to explain to her that I could not add tajin to the rim of a full margarita cup. I had been dismissed twice and was not able to wave her down until much later. I finally just asked her to take the drink back. She looked at me so upset. She didn't offer an apology, or offer to remake the drink. It felt like this server just had it out for me from the moment I ordered. It's unfortunate that this incident changed the direction of our night."

"09.13.23 totally totally loved my experience here. It happened to be my first time. The featured band was the Rabbi Blue Quartet. Rabbi Blue was incredible and so was the rest of his musicians. I checked YouTube videos afterwards and it's best to see the show to truly appreciate their performance. It so happened that it was the sax player's birthday so there were additional impromptu live performances from a few in the audience. What a night! It was so much fun because they were all great singers / musicians - Rabbi Blue is scheduled to be there again on Oct 11th so check it out if you see this post before then. Good line up of musicians, too. The food we had was absolutely delicious. This is one of the best parts about making or enjoying time here. Customer service rocks! There's good free parking in the back. Campus Jax - great place to go to for food and music!"

"Went to see Shine On: A Pink Floyd Experience. First time at Campus Jax. The venue is awesome, intimate, with great acoustics. And Shine On was quite fantastic, that is really what I think. We had dinner there, the Jambalaya and Pulled Pork Sandwich both very good. The prices are reasonable. We had great seats. I’m definitely becoming a regular."

"We came for Side Pony. Been here twice now and I've been so very pleased each time! It's a small intimate setting, so every seat is a good one. Often, places like this tend lack good service, but I felt well taken care of here. Definitely a great place to hear good music!"
