The food here is really good. We had a smash burger, fries and salad with coke and it was great. Seating is just meh. You are kinda packed in like sardines and it's very busy, but food and service were outstanding. read more

Really liked this little beer and pizza place! Ambiance is casual and good for dates or groups . They have TVs and I like the high stools and tables. You order at the counter and then find a table so it's pretty chill. Service was great event though it seemed short staff. We noticed the tables given wasn't the cleanest and our waitress quickly replaced them. Regardless, food usually came in an aluminum tray with parchment paper so you probably don't really need the plates anyways. They have so many options for beer including kombucha and seltzers and I love that they have small and big pints (I think 8oz and 16oz). Prices are also super reasonable. Beers comes cold and filled. Went on a double date around 11am (early brunch) and tried the hash and pizza. They do not skimp on the meats and it was so delicious and made me so sleepy after. The pizza was heavy with cheese and toppings but I also enjoyed the crispy and crunchy crust. We definitely had to take the rest to go. Parking was easy with their own lot in front. This spot is definitely slept on and I highly recommend it! read more

Excellent food. I always get the tempura Udon, and they bring out the food really quickly

Great food and service. Pizza is delicious and ambience is pretty much a bar. If you like lunch specials this is the place to go. Lots of choices. read more

This some dam good food, especially coming at around 1 for lunch prices. Staff is so friendly and that smash burger is great. Had the pork fries too and the crunch on the mastiff fries was a pleasant surprise too. Well seasoned and just a good experience. AND GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS that are equally as delicious. read more

Came here for happy hour and was not disappointed. Awesome deals! We got one of everything on the happy hour menu. Small plates but just enough for the two of us. My favorite were the Brussels sprouts and smash burgers. But everything was really good! Also, draft beers are $2 off. I will definitely be back! Can't wait to try their brunch as well. Great addition to La Mesa. read more

My husband and I came here on a Thursday night and it wasn't crowded at all. We sat ourselves down and a worker came with the menus and once we were ready to order we could go up to the register to order. We ordered the pork Nuggs, mastiff fries, and pig fries and for dessert the cookie with ice cream. The pig fries were bomb! The meat inside was so tender and flavorful. My husband thought it was a little on the salty side but I enjoyed it! There is a bar area as well and a couple of cool old school arcade games in the corner. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and would come again to order something different on the menu. read more

I know I give quite a few 5 star reviews but this spot deserves well above 5- why we waited so long I can't say, but we will be eating here on the regular and so should you... why? Dare I say the best wings I ever had? They were crunchy, lightly sauced, large and priced right. The best slider smash burger I ever had? It was that lacy meat spilling out from the buttery bun and delicious sauce and onions. They are bigger and so much better than anything you have tried. The most delectable apple pie cider and delicious unique Mastiff fries.. so many options even though the menu may not seem huge- the flavors are giant and service is oh so friendly cool! They have wine- bonus points! Great weekday lunch specials and pizza by the slice- salads with chicken...They cared enough to hand my elderly Dad a hard menu- knowing it's more comfortable than looking at the screen. Don't wait like we did, hurry on over for the best creative crave worthy food in these parts. Outstanding guys!! read more

Ok most might not complain, there really wasn't anything really wrong, we got some happy hour samples.. the slider, not bad good flavor but greasy as hell.. garlic honey wings.. very crunchy. And flavor was ok.. not a favorite... Also the hatch chili sausage, didn't really care for it... We also got the meaty meat pizza.. could have used more meat... Not enough pepperoni for me, the sauce seemed thin a bit runny... The crust was was good, the crunchy part very enjoyable.. the rest was just plain .. could have been sweeter. Or more seasoning.. but it was enjoyable read more

Visited this place for lunch. Got the burger lunch special. Double smash burger a cider and upgraded to mastiff fries ..Friends got the sausage and the pizza lunch special. All the food was really good. Will def come back. read more

First time in Mastiff for a late lunch. Quaint spot. Lots of beer on tap...30+ actually! Not too many people fit there so if going at high times I would imagine, you would expect a wait time unless you sit at the bar and order food. Food was pretty tasty! Totally a 5+! Got the sliders and they were very good as were the shoestring fries. All the food people got around us looked and smelled delicious too! I do have to give it a 2-3 on service. Not very friendly and we literally heard our server/bartender say 3 things. This was not only us, but to anyone being served at the bar. Totally understand when people get slammed, but that is when a good attitude, smiles, and some sort of conversation help. read more

Great staff and service . Came with kids were very well taken care off food and drinks came quick . They even took our order at the table which they don't usually do . They must have seen our hands were full with our toddler . Amazing customer service and attention to detail read more

Delicious food. The service was great. The ambience is definitely a place you could hang out and watch the game. Have a beer with your friends and family and just eat all day lol read more

When I see brussels sprouts on the menu, I always order that. Theirs is WOW!! Every time I go there, I get that. The place is pretty small, but I go there for the brussels sprouts lol read more

Wow, so good Mastiff !!!! This unassuming place is casual and approachable and yet the food craft is next level Great !!!! And service was the great kind where it is there when you need it and not when you don't. Also one of the owners took extra time with us and gave us an intro to the menu details including house made sausage and delectable sauces he let us taste before ordering to make sure it wasn't too spicy for us. We selected a couple different types of pizza (you can get by the slice or a in a great four piece all corners pizza), salad and sliders along with crisp ciders and wine. The smash burger sliders are the zenith of the genre and the deep dish with its wonderful crunchy cheese corners made the entire table sing it's praises. Mastiff we will be back. Thanks for a great meal and great service. read more

Need a solid place for crafts? Mastiff never fails. Delicious food that should be more expensive for the quality. Thank you for keeping neighborhood friendly. Warm ambiance. Happy people. read more

Ordered the smash burger sliders and shoestring fries for lunch. Delicious! We easily split this for lunch. Square pizzas are on display and looked good as well. The person who served me was super friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back! read more

Pretty cool spot with lots of craft beer options. Seating is a bit limited. Vibes kind of feels like a local neighborhood bar. Service was ok; you order at the register and they bring it to your table. Ordered the sliders; they were good. Ordered naked chicken wings and their 3 options on the side, didn't care for of the flavors. I liked them better naked. Meet meat pizza was ok; lacked flavors from the meats, I was expecting a combination of flavors from the meats but didn't get anything close. Pretty bland. That's my boy pizza was good; had honey on it which tasted great on the pizza. Mastiff fries were ok, they were hard. Ordered the happy hour portion and they were super small. Brussels sprouts was great, probably the best thing we had. Overall, worth coming back for the sliders and trying out all their craft beers but pretty pricey. Would probably give them 3.5 stars if Yelp had .5 as an option. read more

The food is really delicious. The service was great and I will definitely come back for seconds. The pork nugs are delicious. The Brussels sprouts were also delicious- no picture to show because I devoured them read more

Some co-workers and I decided to try Mastiff Kitchen during our break and can't wait to return! We all wanted the pizza lunch special, and our waiter was nice enough to do the math so we were able to get the best deal. I can't speak for anything else on the menu, but I'll vouch for the Sicilian style pizza all day. They also have a great beer selection.The vibe here is casual and laid back, with attentive service. We'll definitely be back! read more

The price was right, and we will definitely come back again! read more

We came on a Sunday evening and there wasn't much of a wait. Good place to watch the game. We could tell that the guy helping us really liked working there. We ordered a double smash burger and a pepperoni pizza. It didn't take too long for our food to come out. I've been waiting a long time to find a Detroit style crust in San Diego and I'm happy to say I found it here. Can you "cwisp"? The crust and edges were so crispy. The double smash burger was on point. The was amazing. A little on the salty side and I would've liked the bun to be warm, but the flavor was still there. Definitely coming again, but open up a location in Eastlake read more

Busy Friday spot, we ordered take out from here for the first time. It wasn't bad, burger is flavorful, the pork nugs is a bit too much sauce for me, goes well with the burger tho. The pizza was great, the dough is on the thicker side. It's a good spot to watch sports if that's what you are into while hangout with your buddies. read more

Stopped here on the second day since opening. I definitely like the warmth and atmosphere better than what I remember Craft Kitchen looked like. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We ordered the Mastiff Fries, Siders, and the Caesar Salad. I would say that the food was slightly heavy in salt, but good. I usually avoid smashed burgers because I like my meat medium rare, but the burgers were tasty. The fries were a bit heavy on the sauce, but also really tasty, and I'd order them again. Not being a fan of IPAs or American lagers, my options were somewhat limited, but apparently they're going to have more beer options on tap soon. My friend said that this Caesar Salad was the best he's had in a long time. read more

We love this place! We've been two times, once for happy hour and once because we were craving the smash burger! Happy hour is a great deal, we ordered one of everything! Lots of beer choices and bartenders are very friendly and helpful. The pizza wasn't my favorite but not bad. Place is small and I heard can get pretty busy but we've had no problem parking or getting a seat either time we went. Will definitely be coming back more! read more
