# 5 Chicken with Bacon and chesse
Sal F.

Mastiff Kitchen has a great selection of pizza. I want to point out that Mastiff Kitchen value (HINT) on their "lunch menu". (See photo) This one came with a burger or sandwich, with fries or salad and a soft drink.

Korean Wings
Amy K.

We had the best wings and pizza here. Have to also mention all of the beers on tap!!! Keith was so attentive. The ambiance was relaxed and welcoming. We will be coming back soon.

Usually 5-star and I hate this because I love this place. Monday is happy hour all day and that's great. We had the HH Mastiff Fries, chicken wings and two slices of the burata pizza. The food was stellar as always. The service was great. What was not great was the fries came out and about 5 minutes later the wings came out (my order) and 10 minutes after that the pizza came out (my boyfriends order). He had to watch me eat (or I let me food get cold) and then I had to watch him eat. Always better to have all the food come out at the same time. Just not a great experience with the food timing but I stil love this place

Garlic wings
Monica P.

Wow total flavor explosion! Go now! Order items to share. The pizza was crispy, juicy, moist! So dang good! I will return soon! Kids grilled cheese and fries were delicious we all tried it! My daughter was in heaven with it! Pork belly pieces were delicious! Unique flavor so it was a nice change from the norm. If you are an adventurer try this! Wings were hot and crispy. Excellent ranch! Chicken sliders crispy with pickles and a yummy sauce! Fountain sodas, lots of beer options. Everything made to order. Worth the wait! Get the pizza for sure! Had a small parking lot. Most tables are tall bar tables. A few short tables. 1 large big party booth. Call ahead to reserve it. I went for lunch. We all loved it! Staff was friendly.

Drink menu

LOVE LOVE LOVE their weekend special. Double smash burger and a beer for only $15!!! I love to add mastiff fries for only $4 more. The smash burger has lots of flavor with their aolie sauce and grilled onions. I like to sit at the bar and order so I'm able to try the drinks. The bartenders are always nice and make jokes as the games are on. I love coming here for any football, baseball, or basketball game. They always have them playing, sometimes with the sound on.

Mastiffs is one of our favorite spots for game days! During big games, like the playoffs, or upon request, they'll play the game with audio, which is a huge plus. The staff is always very friendly. Our go-to order is the weekend special, a smasher burger and a glass of beer for $15. The smasher burger is perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. This last visit, I ordered the potato wedges as a side, and I'm honestly not sure why I hadn't tried them sooner. They were incredibly flavorful and delicious.

Double smashburger with mastiff fries
Crystal B.

Great small, local pub. We had the double smashburger, That's My Boy Pizza, and Mastiff fries (with cotija on the side). Everything was great! I loved the "fries." The harissa aioli was unique in a good way. The young woman at the counter tonight was super friendly and pleasant to interact with. I'm glad we stopped by.

Crystal M.

I've had this place on my list for years and I'm glad I finally came in to try it. The service was great and the bartender was so nice and patient and helped me with suggestions on beer and a slice of pizza. Sometimes when you go somewhere new, you don't know where to start. The food was good, the beer was cold, the service was great. The bar isn't too big, but it is a nice place and great spot for locals. I'd recommend.

Catrina R.

Came here a second time. Burgers and pizza still slap! This time we came for lunch and holy cow their lunch specials are fantastic. Same for their regular specials. Chill spot to catch a game and have some solid food with friendly service. This place is perfect if you want to hang out with your boys, stop and watch a game as a family, or just chill with friends.

Crispy Brussels Sprouts
Erika S.

Went back tonight for Tuesday $5 pint night and tried the KAC Salad and Hot Hawaiian pizza (we subbed jalapeños for the ham). Both were seriously delicious. Pint night with the Padres game on made it even better! If you're looking for a more filling salad, go with the KAC over Caesar!

Rosanna B.

Great local spot that's family friendly serving American food. Not quite the place I'd recommend if you were wanting light, healthy entrees. Came to celebrate a birthday and everyone enjoyed their food as well as their beer selection. The seating is tight but I get it, there's not really other options. They have a small parking lot, but I generally find street parking fairly easily. Staff taking our order was friendly, but we didn't have much interaction outside of the order.

Fried chicken with honey garlic sauce and Mastiff fries
Ed M.

This is a nice little sports bar. Ton of tap options for beer, the food was flavorful, service was great. I'm all about those honey garlic fried wings. Need to return just for those. They had a decent sports bar set up for the World Series.

Thats My Boy
Bianca G.

Came to San Diego for a grad my friend decided he wanted a beer! He recommended this spot as it's his usual go to. This place is similar to a sports bar but with great food! I haven't had deep dish pizza since Chicago because I love Chicago pizza in Chicago, sorry CA. I was hesistant on trying the pizza here but it was damn good. The pizza was rich in flavor and 10/10. The drink I got was fruity and paired well with the pizza. I wished for the first time I was a local so I could come here as well! Service was awesome we got a large water for all of us to drink from and staff was friendly and accommodating. The actual area was a chill vibe, somewhere people come on any day to eat some good food and have a drink. Also reasonably priced. Definitely a spot I will return to.

Why have a "loyalty program" when they add points then reverse it later that same day. I went today and ordered my usual 2 burgers, fries and drinks. I gave my phone number for the Points. I then asked Vieann H (who identified herself as the manager) when I showed her my receipt from last time I visited and questioned why they reversed the previous points and why I got none from this receipt I produced. She tried to act like it was my fault I received no points and couldn't tell me why the points were reversed from the previous visit (even after she went back in the office to do the research. She told me when came back from the office, she could see all my order history but she couldn't give me back any points from my 2 previous visits. I told her this will be the last time I come and she is losing a customer over 29 points. SHE COULD CARE LESS. Her response to this was "I went in the back to do research". Beware! They don't even deserve the 1 Star I had to give them.

I went on an adventure trying to find a new lunch spot.  I found this place on Yelp as Janna's…read moreBurgers, Fish, and Fries and the map took me to the Aztec Food Hub.  Using the street address I was taken to Grossmont Center.  The signage indicates this place is called BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries. I was feeling lucky today.  So I ordered my fried fish with onion rings and paid $1 upcharge.  The problem with onion rings is they range from not good to great.  With fries they are usually fine. White fish was fried in a tempura batter infused with herbs.  White fish had a mild flavor and was nice and moist.  Batter was crunchy. Onion rings were mostly crunchy except the batter was too thick so some parts of the batter were not transformed by the frying process into crunchy goodness.   I didn't like the flavor of the herbs in the batter which distracted from the fried onion flavor. Service from the guy in charge was friendly and efficient.  My combo was $12.99 which is a great deal.  I'd order the fish again but not the onion rings.  Doing further research I found they are also listed on Yelp as BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries.  So that's the story on my lunch adventure.

I went here after work for a double cheeseburger. I had read the reviews, and they were very…read morepositive, so I took a chance--and I must say, I was very satisfied.

It sounded good but we also weren't really feeling like going "out" and something that could be delivered or that we could pick up seemed like the better play. All the typical poke places showed up when we searched but none of them really sold us. Well, good thing I remembered that Valley Farm's poke game is strong... really strong. Believe me, I know that those of you who don't know Valley Farm will likely say "really?" when I detail that this sleepy little Spring Valley market kicks out poke as good as anywhere else in SD, but it's true. It's a sleeper of a choice but the quality and price will make you a fan, trust me.

Valley Farms Market is one of San Diego's hidden gems. From the moment you walk in, you can feel…read morethe difference. The store is clean, beautifully organized, and filled with high-quality products you don't always find at larger chain grocery stores. What I love most is their fresh selection, especially the produce, specialty items, and unique gourmet finds. Everything looks vibrant and carefully displayed. You can tell they take pride in what they offer. They also have a full butcher shop with everything you could desire. The selection is impressive, and it's wonderful knowing you can get high-quality cuts prepared fresh right there in the store. It adds such a personalized, old-fashioned market feel that you just don't see everywhere anymore. Another favorite of mine is their fresh-pressed cold juice blends, which I absolutely love. They taste incredibly fresh, and you can truly tell the difference in quality. It's such a treat to grab one while shopping. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It truly feels like a neighborhood market where customer service still matters. Whether I am picking up everyday essentials or something special for a gathering, I know I will find something wonderful here. If you appreciate quality, variety, and a pleasant shopping experience, Valley Farms Market is definitely worth a visit. I always leave happy!
