Sports hats these days aren't cheap. This Lids had a discounted area with a decent selection. I ended up with an adjustable cap I purchased for $25. The store employee brought up they do embroidery for all hats should I want to use this service in the future. Not a bad deal. read more

Wanting to get a hat made so I go in to this spot and at first over hearing a sales rep talking to another about a customer on a discount, this guy says the customer should of read the sign first. Besides that I'm still looking into getting a hat, the guy was just short with me and saying ( I got you). I picked my hat and asked for embroidery and wanted the text to be upside down. I paid 50 plus dollars for this and when I get it, holy shit not what I wanted. The lettering was backwards and upside down. I am not satisfied or happy. I told him this isn't what I wanted but he didn't want to try and fix it or try and do anything about the hat, I even said I'd have to buy another and do it again and he just walked away, so I'm stuck with a 50$ hat and would of liked to get it fixed but this guy didn't want to help me. read more

I recently started visiting malls again - an activity I used to love to do here in San Diego but had to work hard to overcome some things to get the confidence and desire to go back again. Lids has always been a favorite and the first thing I did after entering the store was to renew my membership, which comes with a sharp discount on all products, either 20 percent on ball caps or 10 percent off on items like jerseys. It's a great service and with the high cost of many ball caps these days, it's nice to have something that at least covers a little more than the tax on the product. There are four or five sports shops at the Westfield Plaza Bonita Shopping Mall. I have to say that they are all good and I imagine that there's some steep competition between them. But Lids has one thing that the others don't. The ability to create designer ball caps for its customers. This makes Lids stand apart from the rest. I won't say it is the number one sports shop at this mall, but no doubt it helps keeps the shop in the running for number one. And as I have had excellent custom designed ball caps in the past at a Lids in Jacksonville, FL, this Lids here in National City did not in any way disappoint! I think I drove the employees crazy as I took so much time to choose a ball cap, but they were all very courteous and lent me the time needed to make a good choice. I wanted to get a Padres ball cap too, but I'll save that for another time - I have two or three already with my few Padres jerseys. To get the best out of Lids, make sure you spend the annual $10 fee to become a member! After two or three hats you purchase, it pays for itself. Also, get on the Lids mailing list as there are times they have outstanding discount sales on ball caps and other gear. I've gotten great team ball caps between $10-$20 in the past when these deals roll around a couple of times each year. I have purchased items at the other sports shops in the San Diego area. But Lids is just about always my first choice when it comes to buying ball caps! Recommend: VERY HIGH read more

First off I think it's very unprofessional to take my hat off of the machine for a customization I've already paid for to help out your friends. I had a pick up time on my receipt showed up 10 min prior and patiently waited watched someone come in high five the employees and ask for something and you take my hat off the machine multiple times and watched multiple hats get customized even though mine was already on the machine. I waited almost an hour past my pickup time because they did that. I already had to go somewhere else to purchase my hat because they didn't carry the hat I originally wanted and I come in as paying customer to this ...... Mind you not once did they approach me to let me know that theirs a delay on my hat.... I was waiting patiently right outside the door and they saw me waiting as well.....I left my number as well and didn't even receive a phone call. They didn't apologize for the wait and were to busy laughing and talking to people they know..... read more

Lids @ plaza bonita is doing God's work. My homie is a huge SD Padres fan, lives that G.O.A.T. life as a prior Medical type Navy Chief & became a Navy badass mustang officer so I wanted to commemorate his commissioning day with this custom lid & not only did Lids get it done in 2-3 hours but they called & told me when it was done & the homie that hooked it all up was also a retired Aviation type Navy Chief. Sheeshhhhh read more

Time to update my review. Had a very good shopping experience coming in today. Needed to buy some new baseball caps for my son. Due to him wearing mine. Which I felt was not acceptable. Time to get his own. Going to Plaza Bonita. Even though other stores were selling baseball caps. The Lids store in Plaza Bonita had the best selection. My son is having a birthday coming up so I was solving two problems. Him not wearing my hats anymore as well as buying his birthday gift early. He is happy. I am happy. Everybody is happy. The sales guy (Francis) was really cool. Easy to talk to, no pressure selling and didn't treat us like we weren't worth his time. The guy was there when we needed him and wasn't when we didn't. Ended up getting three ball caps. So we were successful. Support local businesses especially the good ones. The Lids in Plaza Bonita is one of the good ones. Best hat store in the mall. Buy your hats here. read more

I went to return a hat that I got for Christmas. It was brand new unworn, and I have the receipt. They said even though I have the receipt and is brand new, they can only give me a gift card. There's vendors at the swap meet that are more honest than these guys. read more

Frank helped me for LITERALLY 1 hour...he was professional, informative, and PATIENT! It being Fathers Day weekend, this place was ALREADY busy. Their selection was good, they have a *buy 1 get (almost) EVERYTHING 1/2 off. It was neat, clean, and filled with not only costumers...but employees willing to help with ANYTHING, which to me is hard to find and ONE of the most important things in ANY store. My husband is CRAZY picky when it comes to his hats, so that alone was tough. He's really into gaming...so i was in this search to find his gamer ID (to stitch on the hat), but my phone was dead, Frank literally helped me find it (which included: using HIS phone, THEIR charger, and him researching his PS4 app, to find it) *** AND THE CRAZY PART IS, that it took an additional 15+ minutes to find the RIGHT hat for my picky husband, and it wasnt because of the lack of selection, it was because of how picky he is, and for me to find one, was a pretty big deal! ALL in ALL, my 1st experience in LIDS @ Plaza was a success! I DEFINITELY recommend the place, and i will DEFINITELY come back again! Hope this long review helped!!! read more

Came in looking to buy a hat. Was never greeted or acknowledged (which isn't a big deal) and when I wanted to get this one dudes attention to see if they had my particular size, I swear it was as if he was avoiding me or something. There were other staff but they were helping people so I ain't gonna put the blame on them. This dude would ask everyone else that walked in after me if they needed assistance. Maybe my money wasn't good there or something. His bad. Walked out with my money still in hand. read more

Paid $60 for a hat with flames on the front. Special Order. Was supposed to be just the outline of the flames, the guy in the store even showed us a sample. The final product didn't look ANYTHING like the sample. The guy filled in the flames. It doesn't even look like flames now; it looks like a Christmas tree that's on fire. He should have just been honest with us that he doesn't know how to use the machine, and maybe ask us to come back when someone else with better training was there; or offered to give us our money back for the obvious screw up. It's de-threading already and we bought it only a few hours ago. My kid doesn't want to wear it. He's too embarrassed to tell me he hates it. It looks ridiculous! read more

This store is better than most Lids stores and has a great sale every week. Thugs tend to hang around and window shop so be warned.

Thank you Plaza Bonita lids for having the hat I wanted I was at the Fashion Valley lids and she was NOT helpful

Service was acceptable up until the point the representative asked me if I wanted to get it labeled by adding a nick name. So I was like sure how much, price was reasonable. I was told it was gonna be 30 to 45 minute wait. Mind you I have been at the mall for an hour already. He didn't finish the hate until almost 2 hours. In hindsight if I had of knew it was gonna take the long I would have never of got it done. read more

I went to this place earlier today, and I asked for my name to be in a certain spot on the hat . The guy who first helped me was polite and nice, but the manager, JP was rude and dismissive. They had told me my hat would be ready in 30 mins but I had to call back after an hour because they hadn't contacted me yet. When I went to go pick it up I noticed that it wasn't how I asked for it. When I asked for them to fix it JP (the manager) was being rude to his younger employee and being dismissive towards me not really listening to what I wanted it to actually look like. When I would try to explain how I wanted the hat he would respond with an attitude and would ignore me to talk to other customers, even after I waited for him to attend me. Misunderstandings happen, but when they do they should still be handled in a professional manner. The stitching on the hat was coming off extremely easily, and it was overall not what I told them I wanted. I has also asked JP to capitalize the first letter and said it's how the font goes. Now I have to come back for the hat tomorrow if I want it to be the way I initially asked for it. read more

We came to go last minute shopping, the gate was closed but people were in there. It said it would be open at 12:30, we came and it wasn't open then it said 1:00, we came again and it wasn't open, it now said 2:00. With 5 workers in there. Unacceptable read more

Do not ever buy anything from plaza Bonita lids. Bunch of scam artist they refused to refund my money back to my credit card, also refused a gift card as well. I bought a yankee hat that they charged on there online website with a gift card for me. They said it would be Ship to there location. Well with that said the item was sold out they failed to tell me that, when I asked for a refund they admitted to throwing the gift card out. I asked for it to be put on another gift card or refunded back to my card they refused and made excuse they are unable to. The manager literally handed me a piece or receipt paper with a number on it saying here your gift card. Dude you must have me fucked up lucky I did not punch you in your mouth. Do not ever shop here read more
