We had a great time watching the World Cup final soccer game between Spain and Argentina here. We ordered three appetizers to share: nachos, Mexican street fries and chicken wings. The portions were large and more than enough for the four of us. The chips in the nachos were fresh and crisp and I really liked the crema. It could have used a bit more spice (I.e. hot sauce). The fries were good, but weren't crispy. The buffalo chicken wings were my favorite. They were tangy with a subtle kick. For a drink, I had the Island Breeze. It was balanced margarita with a hint of pineapple and coconut. It was very good. The restaurant is spacious with lots of televisions to watch the game. It is located on the grounds of the Town and Country Hotel. Service was prompt and friendly. Parking was plentiful and was free with validation from the restaurant. read more

We were staying at the town and country for a dance convention tonight before we ate at Arlo and we definitely take lapper over Arlo anytime minus the service. The general waiters and service staff didn't really know what they're doing and kind of walking around aimlessly. You're sitting there for 25 minutes so I just went up to the Barr staff to order. She was absolutely wonderful extremely helpful food came out quick service was fantastic. She was killing it. They could probably benefit from having a team lead to organize everything more efficiently. There was a manager there, but he was more reactive than proactive. Food: the burgers were actually quite good chicken was decent price relatively decent too. Things came out of the kitchen fast and hot. We had a gorgeous raspberries and they had the World Cup match on the TV. It was great good vibes. Would be 4/5 if their wait staff wasn't so green. read more

Located on site at the Town and Country Resort next to their pool. They we have both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can also bring your dogs to come eat with you. They have fire pits outside. Staff is friendly and helpful! Some of the standout items we had were: - The nachos with carne asada - The 12hr braised short rib - ahi tuna salad - As well as their dessert, we got strawberry churros, and then they had a fruity pebbles tres leches cake, which was also really yummy. For the cocktails, the standout for me was the cucumber jalapeno blaze. Must try! read more

Stayed at the town and country and decide to try one of the restaurants here. The highlight here is definitely the drinks, they tasted amazing! The cucumber jalapeno was one of the best I've ever had. Food is good but not the best. I would pass on the pizza next time and the nachos needed more toppings as we had so many chips leftover. read more

Was talked into going for the Wednesday line dancing.... So glad I did! so much fun!!! People and kids of all ages, all sizes, all walks of life, just dancing and having fun. Staff was very short handed... only down fall. Hoping it was just a one off situation. They have a lot of good happy hour deals as well as line dancing menu. It's in the center of the Town and country hotel, which why have I never been. The grounds and pool looked amazing!! I will definitely be going back!! read more

Came in during happy hour and was seated immediately! My server, Marx, was extremely friendly, attentive, and welcoming. It was my first time here, and I wasn't familiar with how the happy hour worked, but Marx took the time to explain everything thoroughly, gave me some great recommendations, and was very patient while I looked through the menu and decided what I wanted. I ordered the carne asada nachos, and they were delicious! I especially loved the green onions as a little extra touch. The restaurant itself was very clean, and the A/C was definitely a plus, especially during a busy happy hour. Angelo, the manager, also stopped by my table to check in and make sure everything was tasting good. He was very attentive and made sure I was doing okay throughout my visit. Even though it was a little busy because of happy hour, Marx and Angelo made sure I was taken care of from start to finish, and I really appreciated that. Overall, I had such a great first experience and will definitely be coming back to try more menu items and cocktails! Highly recommend! read more

Before we start, a huge shout out to Dwayne who did an amazing job at keeping our drinks full and our stomachs happy. He was also super friendly and just added to the relaxing ambiance of our stay at the pool. Did a resort pass and got a day bed. Check in with Lapper Sports Bar or one of the poolside servers to snag one of the daybeds near the restaurant (premium day beds with umbrellas vs the basic day beds across the pool). Drinks: -Cucumber Jalapeño Blaze and Sunset Smash (both $18) were just alright lol. -Cadillac Margarita ($23) and the Mango Twist ($18) had much more flavor and much better balanced than the two aforementioned cocktails so def go with these two Food: -The Fish and Chips ($21) subbed with Onion Rings was pure perfection. A huge portion of Cole slaw, crispy onion rings with a bunch of lemons, remoulade and that delicious batter were a perfect poolside treat -Mexican Street Fries with carne asada: a super flavorful carne asada with crispy fries, pico, Guac, cilantro and chipotle crema. Asked for a side of jalapeños and was another great shareable. read more

Lappers Sport Bar + Kitchen is a cute spot with wonderful outdoor seating, perfect for a relaxing meal. Our host took our order quickly, which was much appreciated since we were on a tight schedule for a conference. I ordered the Watermelon Spritz mocktail, and it was incredibly refreshing--light, flavorful, and the perfect complement to my Baja tacos. The tacos were absolutely delicious! The batter was so fluffy and crisp, making every bite satisfying. Overall, great service, a lovely atmosphere, and tasty food. I'd definitely come back! read more

We've come a few times for their game day specials and happy hour. The service has always been great. Food has been good. We checked their website before coming down to watch a Padres game and their site had their special menus still up. When we came, our waitress said they no longer offer game day specials. Annoying because this was one of our spots during football and baseball season that we'd frequent because they had great deals. Also that the website still advertised these specials but it was not updated. Our waitress was still great. Food was fine. I hope they update their site soon in order to prevent more confusion. Mainly will come here for the ambiance. Their outdoor seating is always nice with TVs and some fire pits. It can be really loud during the summer. They do validate parking which is a plus. read more

Lapper Sports Bar + Kitchen - OG Crush Burger (bunless) with side salad - Sports Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

I visited in mid September, while traveling for a conference in the Town & Country resort. I dropped by for lunch on the first day of the conference and the restaurant was fairly slow. Given that there weren't too many patrons, our party of 3 was sat quickly. As one would imagine, the menu isn't super extensive, but features many American classics. I opted for the pizza and a soft drink (Dr. Pepper), and tried a few of the fries. The pizza was neither spectacular, nor bad. Just okay -- though it did have plenty of toppings. As far as service goes, our waitress checked in on us maybe once while we were there, but we didn't mind, since we didn't need anything. Would I eat here again? Ehhh, while the food wasn't bad, I think you're probably better off going somewhere else in the area. read more

I visited The Lapper on Wednesday, August 13 for a night of line dancing and drinks with friends and it was just what I needed to break up the week. It's located inside the Town and Country Hotel & Convention Center in Mission Valley, and the vibe is always so fun and welcoming. Dan, the line dancing instructor, is fantastic--super friendly, encouraging, and keeps the energy high. Whether you're a beginner or just there to enjoy the music, it's a great time. The atmosphere is great for a midweek unwind. Good music, great people, and plenty of space to let loose and dance the night away. That said, my only critique is the bar service. This isn't the first time I've noticed the bartenders seeming a little... irritated, almost like ordering a drink is an inconvenience. One of my friends asked the bartender what his favorite drink was, just to be friendly, and he just stared at her with no response. I get that it's a long shift, and we all have tough days, but in this industry, attitude really does matter. These days, people are more selective about where they spend their money, and hospitality makes a difference. A helpful tip for first-timers: there is no valet parking, but they do offer free self-parking as long as you get your ticket validated at the venue you're visiting (like The Lapper). The policy has recently changed--you don't go to the hotel front desk for validation anymore. Just head to the venue directly and they'll take care of it. The dance floor is not very big but people are respectful about giving people space . I do like the dancing better on the turf. Overall, The Lapper is a great spot with fun energy and a welcoming vibe. With just a little more attention to the customer experience at the bar, it could easily be a five-star place. I'll definitely be back and will keep recommending it to friends! read more

Drove down from the Central Valley for a weekend conference. We hadn't eaten all day so we went to Lapper here at the hotel! Bellman recommended the Street taco fries (which is what I ordered) and my wife got the fish taco. Both were so good! So much food! We were so full but I got the peach cobbler to go! Absolutely sinful!! Our server, Elissa, was awesome!! Friendly, funny and on totally top of it, even though she handling all the tables!! They have ample seating. We sat inside to watch basketball, but.they also have patio seating. Oh, they are just as friendly to fur babies!! Definitely worth stopping in! Ask for Elissa!! You will not be disappointed!! read more

Nice alternative to ARLO at Town and Country. Sports bar feel and food. Great service. Kid's Chicken fingers and fries were pretty good. Chicken was moist with a nice crisp. Fries were seasoned well. Portion was huge. Baja Fish tacos were great. Last but not least, the surf/turf nachos had that wow factor. This was definitely for at least 2 ppl. If you're in the mood for some loaded nachos - this is it! Next time we're in SD, we'll be back! read more

Ate here for lunch during a conference. We slammed the restaurant. They were not equipped to handle the large number of us. I missed most of the first talk after lunch. After the Long wait in line (15+min) I waited a crazy long time for the food. The salad with salmon was good. The fries were fresh and good but needed a little more time in the fryer. Our waiter took pity on us and gave us some chips to hold us over. We also waited for the check but the bartender Ian helped out. Ian also took care of me one afternoon when I came in for hot tea mid afternoon to work a few e-mails. Came another day for breakfast but everything is prepared ahead. Breakfast sandwich was meh. Would eat lunch here again but not breakfast unless made to order. read more

Alissa is our server today, she is amazing! Oh first, we ordered the chips and salsa ! Then we ordered the shrimp, Lappers kitchen, makes their own cocktail sauce. It is fresh and delicious. Then, we ordered. Beer, battered fish, Alaskan, cod, fish and chips with coleslaw and french fries. The ambience here is so vibrant. We are having such a great time. We are giving Lappers Kitchen five stars mostly because Alissa was such a great server. read more

These hooligans had us WASTING our time. That's all I really gotta say. The manager had us sit down at a table and told us she would get someone to serve us.... Then proceeded to pace around as if she was doing something. This girl was doing everything BUT getting us service gadamn read more

This was such a great experience. My group decided to dinner outside. The weather was on the cool side, but perfect for our evening out. The server was amazing. He took the appetizer and drinks orders right away and there wasn't too long of a wait for either. He also was patient with some of us because we couldn't decide on what to order. Everything looked too good. I started with the BBQ chicken wings. They were crispy and tossed in a smoky sauce that had just a bit of a bite, but not so spicy where it would've rivaled buffalo sauce. There was enough sauce to coat everything, so there weren't any wings that didn't have any. I had the Watermelon Arugula Salad. It was so light and refreshing. It was definitely summer on a plate. The sweetness of the watermelon, strawberry, and cucumber were perfectly balanced with the balsamic Vinaigrette and mini mozzarella balls. I also had an order of sweet potato fries. My only gripe was that I forgot to ask for no salt. Some of the fries had so much on them that the salt overpowered the flavor. Otherwise they were delicious. The others in my party said they loved their meals. I just wish I got pictures of the food. If I ever get the chance to come out this way, I'll be back to try something new. read more

Didn't want to wait 15+ minutes for a table during lunchtime just for solo dining anyway, so got a seat at the bar. The bartender Roger was great, friendly, and attentive. This was the day that Mission Valley flooded due to overflow of the San Diego River so that was definitely a convo starter...oh and the NFL playoff games lured us back to the bar later that evening. Got the Fish & Chips ($18), and just a fountain drink ($4) since it was midday. Came with lemon, tartar sauce, and ketchup for the fries, and I didn't even have to ask for the malt vinegar bottle. The fish tacos and Ballast Point Sculpin IPA did sound pretty tempting though. 4 good/decently-sized pieces of battered fish, and skinny fries a generous portion, did not finish these. Slaw on the side was just okay. I also didn't even have to ask for the itemized receipt (probably noticed my corporate credit card), nice! read more

I'll start with the good. Panzanella Salad add Shrimp was really good. (But maybe I was also super famish, so it was good. The BAD. OK, I get it. There was a conference going on, so there was a lot of people there, but how can a team NOT prep for it? Basically everything we ordered they were out of! Ahi for the Ahi salad - 86'd Watermelon Spritzer - 86'd There was something else, but I can't remember bc the next things were what docked their score down. SUPER LONG wait for the food. Minus 1 star. HAIR in my food. Minus 1 star. I know things get busy and kitchen's fall behind. Things can get sloppy. Which can be upsetting for some. But the Panzanella Salad was solid so I'll still give that to them, if they promise to leave the hair out of it next time. :P read more

A convenient location while staying at the Town and Country Resort on business. This is a good place to do some tequila sampling after work hours. The server was nice when he took my order and my tequila shots were right to the top with some limes on the side. A cold beer was a perfect complement (although the plastic glass was a bit off putting). I had the ribeye steak with mash potatoes and veggies. Everything was delicious- tender and well cooked steak with a nice sauce. read more

The Lapper has become one of my favorite spots on Wednesday nights thanks to the line dancing lessons with Dan Moon. He makes the lessons fun and approachable for all levels, and creates such a great sense of community. That said, I do think there are a few areas that could be improved. In the past, lessons were sometimes held outside on the turf, which gave everyone plenty of room to dance. Lately, most lessons have been inside the bar. While the setup works, it can get crowded, hot, and a little confusing since it's often advertised as being on the turf. The turf option really does make learning easier and more enjoyable. I also feel the bar staff could work on their hospitality. A friendly, welcoming vibe goes a long way, especially on line dancing night when so many new faces are coming in. Dan sets the standard with his energy and inclusivity--if the bar team matched that, it would make the whole experience even better. I haven't had a chance to order the food yet. I'll order the food sometime soon and i'll try to write a review that . Overall, I look forward to Wednesdays here every week and hope to see some of these small changes so the Lapper can really shine. read more

My friends had their wedding here and it was such a cute place located inside the Town and Country Hotel. When we arrived, we traded our parking tickets for a validated one, so that was very easy and efficient! They had the entire inside space, patio, and outside area as well. There was an omelette station in the patio, which some people didn't know that it was part of the event. The donut station was pretty cool- you can add your favorite toppings without an attendant! Other food that was offered were the following items: avocado toast, chilaquiles, roasted chicken, ricotta tortellini, organic baby field lettuces, chocolate fudge brownies, and blondies. The food was tasty and very filling! The staff was very nice and friendly, going out of their way to get hot sauce for one of my friends LOL. The bartenders were a bit slow though. A drink would take at least 15 minutes to make and they weren't even that great. I liked that there was cornhole and a ping pong table to keep us entertained as well. I think it was the perfect casual place to celebrate something special, so if you're looking for something like that, this is the perfect place! read more

Lapper Kitchen & Bar is the last business to debut in the new lineup of on-site eateries at the Town and Country Hotel in Mission Valley. The structure is essentially a large clubhouse adjacent to the swimming pool in the courtyard of the property. You can park in the deck and have the ticket validated by the hostess. I came here twice over the past few months, once for dinner and most recently for a private event. The menu was typical of a bar and grill with burgers, nachos, pizzas, salads, sandwiches, tacos, and wings as featured items. Of the three entrees, I picked the Chicken Frites for my dinner. A grilled chicken breast covered in white barbecue sauce was served with sea salt fries, baby squash, and zucchini. White sauce is not found in SoCal very often as it's a signature product of the deep South, specifically Alabama. The sauce's mayonnaise and vinegar base elevated the flavors of a pretty basic dish of meat and vegetables. The place was quite large with several TV screens mounted above the center bar. The capacity to easily host a couple of hundred people was a key factor in why my friends chose this venue for their wedding reception. Between the setting, service, and food, I felt a four star rating was justified for my two experiences at the Lapper. read more

This spot unfortunately was just not it for me. It just felt average to sub-par all around for me. The iced tea was your typical, so that was fine. The shrimp nachos weren't bad, but nothing special. The ahi tuna salad was disappointing. FYI, the "salad" base is essentially coleslaw/carrots. I was expecting fresh salad/veggies, not something covered in mayo. The ahi itself was fine, nothing to write home about. I tasted someone else's fries and potato fries and they weren't crispy enough for my liking. Service wise could have been better as well. Ambiance is okay-it's on campus at the Town and Country Resort. Overall, I can't recommend this spot. read more

Decent food and drinks if you are around town on business or at a conference. Friendly staff and they are fairly quick.

Good food and even better service. Hotel prices though. The burgers at yummy and we loved the Cobb salad.

3.5 stars. Located at the Town & Country Hotel, I came here between conference sessions and enjoyed hot wings and fries. The wings had buffalo sauce on the side, as well as an abundance of celery and carrots, which I rarely see. The fries were plump and filling. I was seated immediately at the bar when I walked in. They weren't too busy, but service was slow, and they were clearly understaffed. My order of fries was originally forgotten... not a big deal. Overall decent for a hotel eatery and well-situated in the middle of the property! read more

I was at the Town and Country resort for a conference and tried this place out a couple of times and totally loved it! The sweet potato fries were seasoned to perfection and had just the perfect amount of crisp to it. I also tried the beyond burger and it was very flavorful. One small drawback was that they had put a little too much butter on the bun which makes it a little difficult to thoroughly enjoy it. My friends tried their chicken burger, creme brulee and surf and turf nachos and they loved it too. Their chipotle aioli is delicious and had a good strong chipotle peppers flavor to it. The staff were very friendly and nice. They have a shuffle board in the restaurant which is always fun. The restaurant is slightly on the expensive though. read more

I really enjoyed the food and am so grateful for the above and beyond service. Kurt made sure that me and my friends had food that did contain ingredients that could have ended our lives and that is a bigger deal. Kurt also made me one of my favorite drink after we bonded over a shared love for it. Kurt made the drink even though it was not on the menu. Kurt also had a really good sense of humor and introduced me to a new beer! Olivia was so kind and supportive in answering our questions and making sure we were taken care of. I enjoyed the salmon, cilantro rice, carrots and my friends really enjoyed their ribeye steak, veggies and honestly I don't remember what else because we were so relaxed in the environment. And after inviting myself to one of my friends custard stuffed churros, I was in so delighted. Crispy and fluffy with just the right amount of sugar and cinnamon and then I believe stuffed with custard...it was sooo good! Thank you again for taking care of us! Also, for those who are needing non binary and/or non gender marker assigned restrooms, they are located past the lapper by the water slides. read more
