I never point out the vibe, but on a Saturday night, the lack of vibe was concerning. Food wise. Mac and cheese, 3/5. That's a lot of corners being cut to make this. Tritip. 4/5. There was bit of uncomfortable burnt flavor on it. Like bit too much. Beef ribs. 5/5. This one was great. Overall, between 3 or 4 stars. I will go for 4. Also, can you give us an option of having bbq sauce on the side and table salt on every table?

I was really looking forward to trying Lil Alex BBQ, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing…read moreexperience. The pulled pork sandwich had several small bone pieces in it, and the meat was extremely burnt and tasted like it had been reheated. The BBQ beans also tasted burnt, to the point that I couldn't eat them. The mac and cheese tasted like it had been frozen and reheated, lacking the fresh, creamy flavor I was expecting. I understand that every restaurant can have an off day, but based on this visit, the quality of the food did not meet my expectations. I hope they take this feedback into consideration because I had heard good things and was hoping for a much better experience.

So make sure you check out the days and times they're open prior to coming. I've been craving the quail eggs, also known as qwek qwek. They have so many options. Most are $2 each. Last time I came here we got to grill our skewers ourselves but today they grilled it for us. They have ample seating, indoor and outdoor's. I love the concept of the skewers, very different from any other Filipino restaurants in San Diego. And if they still let you grill your own food, what an elevated and fun time to share with family and friends. Everything tasted really good. Will come back to try other stuff.

To an empty restaurant with only 1 small party in front of us so we sat there for no more than 5 minutes and our table was ready. Lady came around to give us our grill and turn on the tablet menu for us. I LOVE how you can order as you please and don't have to wait for anyone to come take your order or deliver it to you. They have the little kitty robot server things! Makes the experience so much more pleasurable, fresh food and you don't have to worry about anyone getting your order wrong. Service was super nice. Restaurant was very very clean. My usual manna bbq is the one up by Bonita high school but I think I'd rather come to this location for now on just because of the little robots. Super pleased with my experience today

We stumbled into The Balboa South while we were in Chula Vista for a Little League baseball…read moretournament. Our family was exhausted, hungry, and looking for a good burger. We found so much more than that. The burgers were outstanding, the drinks were ice cold (exactly what we needed on a hot day), and the service was exceptional. As we were leaving, the manager stopped to ask how everything was and when we'd be back. We told him we might return to SD the following Tuesday if we win the game the next day. That's when things got interesting. He smiled and said, "You're going to win tomorrow, and when you do, come back Tuesday and dinner is on me." Then he went one step further and predicted the final score: 6-4. My wife laughed and asked, "By the way... what's your name?" He replied, "Angel." Fast forward to game day. It was an absolute nail-biter. Late in the game, the score was tied in extra innings when our son stepped up to the plate and ripped a line drive to center field, driving in the two winning runs. Final score... 6-4. We couldn't believe it. Whether Angel has a crystal ball or was simply sending us off with some incredible encouragement, we'll never forget that experience. It's one of those stories our family will be telling for years. The Balboa South earned our business because of the delicious food and outstanding customer service. The unforgettable prediction was just the icing on the cake. If you're looking for amazing burgers, genuine hospitality, and maybe a little good luck before your next big event, this is the place to go. Thank you, Angel, for making our family's baseball tournament one we'll never forget.

TL,DR: Outstanding food, priced right, great service and great atmosphere…read more I had driven past this place a few times and the name always cracks me up, reminds me of Jim Carrey from Dumb and Dumber. My wife tricked me into going with her to Walmart to pick up some shit, so I got to pick the spot for lunch and this is what I picked. Got there about 2 PM on Good Friday and there were a few people there but nothing crazy. Got seated right away and ordered drinks, a Pacifico for me, Sprite for the wifey - got them right away. For food, I got a BBQ bacon cheeseburger with tots, wifey got a regular bacon cheeseburger with everything plus fries, and I was curious so I also got the $10 chocolate (fudge) shake. Shake was delivered first. Expectations were high, and I was not disappointed. The shake was served in the metal tin, made with loads of real ice cream, whipped cream, fudge, drizzle of chocolate syrup, and chocolate sprinkles. Honestly not sure what I was thinking when mixing beer with shake, in hindsight I wouldn't do that again... but it was one of the best shakes I've had in a long while. Burgers came out shortly afterwards. Wifey's was cooked perfectly medium, which is an unusual thing for most burger places these days; most of the time when I order a burger medium, it comes out medium well or well done. These were both perfectly medium. Both burgers came out with a generous amount of potato products, more than either of us could hope to stuff down our gullets in one sitting. The food was outstanding. The service was great. The music was too loud for the wife but it was the kind of music that is supposed to be played loud so no points off for that from me. A nice vibe overall. I'll definitely be back.
