The Hills Pub - Happy St. Patrick's Day! Enjoying the Corned Beef Sliders. - Pubs Near Me - La Mesa, California

I have typically had a good experience here. Unfortunately, this time I was served the skimpiest margarita I have ever seen and waited 30 minutes for an order of to go sliders that we're not prepared for "to go". It sadly made me regret my tip and makes never want to come back during any time besides the mornings when it slower. Total bummer read more

Great food. Good service. Just wish there were better seating. Gets busy inside, tables fill quick. Not a lot of spots for singles or couples. read more

Great food, vibe, and service. I really liked the queso dip and sliders. I definitely plan on returning. I didn't bring my children, and actually, I don't plan on it--the vibe was certainly more for adults (music is shown with videos). read more

Located on a busy street, very few street spots. There is a lot in the back it's just hard and confusing to get to. Make sure not to park in the other business' lot nearby. Be advised they only have a small menu available on the weekend until 2pm due to their brunch. Must go after 2pm to get their speciality burgers. Family friendly bar, saw lots of kids. Was reluctantly greeted when we walked in, awkwardly stood there a few minutes until someone said to sit wherever. Got the Hills burger: basic burger, upcharge for anything other than fries but given the $10 base price it's understandable. Cheese is $1, side salad is $2, you can add bacon/avocado/egg for an extra charge as well. At the end you are looking at around a $15+ burger. Taste was okay, shredded iceberg lettuce was a disappointment, wish it would have been a whole slice. Sautéed onions good. Chipotle sauce was meh, the burger really lacked flavor. (Pepper crust at Islands is much better). Fries were basic, needed salt, but good and crispy. Try one of their speciality burgers instead. Country fried steak- good, recommend. Eggs were perfectly fluffy, English muffin nicely toasted. Lots of fruit given as a side substitute no upcharge. Might be back for another country fried steak in the future and to try their specialty burgers. read more

Was visiting a friend in La Mesa- this is one of his favorite spots he goes to for food and good drinks. I can see why- it was a cool little spot- serves food pretty late which is always nice and hard to find these days. I got the chicken strips and fries and they were actually legit lol. The only thing I wish is that they had Coca-Cola products instead of Pepsi lol. But I mean- obviously that is all personal preference. Bartenders were very kind also, always checking in. read more

This was my first time at this pub and the environment was chill and the outside seating was nice. I ordered the "Get your roll on shrimp roll" and let me tell you it did not disappoint. This shrimp roll was so DELICIOUS and FRESH and the flavors were so well balanced! This is Perfect on a hot summer day like today. When the waiter brought my food to the table it looked very appetizing. And the waiters were very polite and friendly. I would definitely go back to order this delicious shrimp roll again! This is a MUST TRY! read more

So I have not been to the Hills in a bit. It's always crowded which is good if you're judging by hipness. But what the heck? Why did you get rid of the sweet potato fries? It was the best thing on the menu. Tatter totts are for 8 year olds! The service is still top notch. Our Server Jade was great. One of the best I've ever had. She asked our name and called me by name all night. That's how you do it. I'll be back, for the service, not the tots! read more

Place is loud!!! Got patio, outdoor seating and indoor. The time we came thru was a trivia night. The music was bumming loud, you seriously can't heard one another. No dance floor with the music playing . I think that is the only lacking aspect of it. Overall It's a chill vibes and soon enough the whole place filled up with its regularly attended people. read more

The outdoor patio is such a great spot. My friend had a birthday out there and it was great for all us friends to mingle. Caleb's service was amazing. read more

A nice place to eat, chill & drink. The bartendreses are talkative & quite friendly. Everything you'd need to quench one's thirst. And check out the food menu. You can graze, chow down or snack. Get there early tho. It gets crowded n a hurry. read more

Kari Anne and Jade are the best. Drinks and food are good but will mostly come back just for the service. 10/10

The Hills Pub - Pubs Near Me - La Mesa, California

We've tried to support The Hills through the pandemic but I don't think we're coming back. They switched from table service to ordering at the bar. In pandemic times, who wants to stand in a line where people are really close to each other, with no one wearing masks? Of the staff, only one is wearing a mask, none of the customers are, and it does not seem they are enforcing mask use. Plus the line to order gets LONG, and the space is much too small to socially distance. The orders take as long to arrive, or even longer than before. But now, nothing comes at the correct time. Appetizers come with mains, but everything takes at least half an hour. We were done with our drinks with the food still not having arrived. But now there is a line of at least 10 people so we don't want to get up and join it just to order more beer. When the food did arrive, it was only the main dishes, the appetizer wasn't even part of it. So we canceled the app. The wait staff did ask if we wanted more beer so we ordered from her. By the time it arrived back tho, the long line was almost done anyway. The one redeeming thing is that the food still tastes good. Because of the paper trays they are served in, the portion sizes do look smaller. I think I can excuse that because costs are probably higher. While we canceled the appetizer, it still came out a full 15 or 20 minutes after our mains. We were actually done eating already. We told the staff that we canceled the order but they decided to comp it because it's cooked already. This is another reason why ordering from the bar sucks, we would have gladly paid for the appetizer we ordered but because it came too late, they ended up comping it. Final straw was they gave my husband the wrong credit card when they came back with the bill. So he had to go in the line AGAIN to find his credit card. When he got to the front of the line, there was another lady who was looking for her card because they gave her the wrong one too! It turns out ALL the credit cards were in a stack and they don't know which card goes to which table. How easy is it to have a box with the table numbers filed inside to keep the credit cards separate? They ended up comping the beers too for the card mix up. How are you earning anything if almost everything is getting comped because of this stupid new system? I really don't think wait time for food became any less, and now all these stupid mistakes are being made that can be directly attributed to ordering from the bar. ‍ read more

Nice , chill place to meet up for a drink and some good food, better than just a grill or pub.

Great place for brunch. Reserved a softball brunch and they were very accommodating with 40 of us. The staff was great and our server Aja (Asia) was truly perfect! Fast, welcoming, patient, and amazing. Thank you! read more

Having been so impressed by breakfast here, I'm happy to say dinner proved to be pretty great as well. This place is bustling, and getting both a parking spot and a table could be challenging at peak times. It's certainly worth the crowd. Great food, nice local tap selection, really friendly service. The outdoor space is perfect for soaking up a beautiful day. Worth a visit read more

We came here to watch a Raiders game one Sunday. It was pretty crowded with various fans, which was definitely a cool atmosphere. The openness of the building itself was also very welcome while we're still in the middle of a pandemic. They had pretty good food and drinks, but what I was really impressed by was the service. If we had a "complaint," their team was really great about fixing it, i.e., a hair found in the fries (they remade the whole plate including the burger), the Michelada felt watered down (they gave extra mixer on the side). We will definitely be coming back to enjoy more games. read more

The arcade in the back is amazing! The sliders were also excellent. Service was great and place was super clean!

Jade Kyle and Rylan are the absolute best. Jade hands down made my experience though. Will definitely be back!

This place is happening! GlIt has a good atmosphere. I appreciate the ample of street parking. Its not quite in the center of a busy plaza or shopping area which made it really stress free coming in for brunch. The space inside is a bit packed and definitely a bit louder than most brunch places we've been to. If that's your jam then you won't mind it here. We ordered a Country Fried Steak with sunny side eggs and potatoes. We also got the Dragon Tiger Phoenix (curious about origin of name...) with sunny side eggs. All were really good everything came out as expected and with a healthy amount of food. You're going to regret it if you pass on those french toast sticks. They were so good, not your average french toast. It was a nice dark cinnamon bread with walnuts inside. The outside was nice and crispy. It was paired with some sweet syrup for dipping Of all the things, the french toast sticks stuck out! No pun intended. Worth coming by for weekend brunch. read more

Vibe is always right !bartenders always get your drink right and well happy hour spin the wheel always makes it better!

Wow this place was good, we tried a Benedict & a fried chicken dish that had wonderful sauce all over it!! We also had some devilishly good Bloody Marys, with bacon, olives, lemon slice, so great!! This place may have just become my new favorite local breakfast spot, with really good food & drinks, who can complain?? I see this place getting more and more popular so lines may follow, it was packed while I was there. This little place is inconspicuous and I wouldn't have guessed it would be as good as it is. On the inside it's essentially a "dive esc" style of a little bar restaurant. Which utilizes it's space well & has warm welcoming waitresses. I'll wrap this up by saying, if you want good food and drinks come here. Happy eating & drinking!! read more
