First visit here and I have to admit I wasn't too impressed with the quality of the burger. I ordered the guacamole burger quarter pounder with fries. The meat tasted like it was very low quality as well as the buns. The fries are straight out of a frozen bag. Not very impressed especially at $16.95 for the burger, fries and soft drInk. On the other hand the customer service was awesome! The people that work the tables do an awesome job. Maybe they were just off their game today with their burgers. I will be back soon and hope for a better burger experience. read more

The Weevil Burger - Guacamole burger with fries basket deal $16.95 - American Near Me - La Mesa, California

Food was good service but they gotta clear out the tweakers outside... dude claiming to be waitresses boyfriend was drooling on himself mumbling right outside the front door ... trying to try follow female customers read more

I was pleasantly surprised how they have refresh the interior. It used to be such a hole in the wall. The food is excellent for what it is and it's a pleasing environment. Not what I'm used to from 20 years ago. read more

Great food and service, very refreshing! Condiments take us back to when Boll Weevil began!

Our waitress was great. Very attentive and friendly. Loved the Arcade games in the back and it was a very large space. Food was okay. Burger was not one of my favorites but the sides were. We also loved that each table gets their own containers of pickles and peppers. read more

So I saw this place while shopping next store at the mothership ((Michael's) and knowing my husband likes a good burger I put it on the list to try. We got the smaller pitchers of beer and the appetizer platter to start. It was surprisingly delicious. Hubby got one of the burgers, a double, with onion rings. I got the club with regular fries. The burger was pretty good and they bring you a tray of accoutrements to really finish it out. Onion rings were good with a nice batter. The club was not what I was expecting/ hoping for. It was a single sandwich not by definition a club. However it was very tasty. Served on a nice sourdough. Fries were good but just fries. There are pool tables and old fashioned candy machines and a few video games. While you can bring kids here, it is still a BAR and grill. Is there beer at ChuckyECheese? read more

Love their "secret sauce" and tray full of goodies to put on your burger. Reasonable prices. Same interior as the original Bollweevel restaurant. Good service. No frills. read more

My family loves this "greasy spoon" but I have never liked it all the much. A simple menu, small arcade, and tvs for sports events

The burgers are really good! Definitely don't judge a book by its cover. You won't be sorry

2/3/23. Had a hotdog and fries and it never disappoints. Great seeing my favorite server Maddy as well. Always with a smile and kind words. Next time I'll try to take a picture of the food before I scarf it down :0) read more

the website is inaccurate says pick up or delivery right on the websit. I went to order food took me to door dash. I click on it and it says sorry can't help you closed. I then called the restaurant they said we do not do delivery only picku. I asked then why does it say pick up or delivery on your websit? she said. I don't know. come on people and I lo this restaurant. read more

I have been watching this place progress since I first saw the sign go up saying "Coming Soon", every time I went to the Michael's. It finally opened on July 2nd I think and we tried to go there the 4th of July but they were closed for the holiday. I was out running errands yesterday afternoon and decided to pop in for a look around. When I saw they had a special Mon-Thurs of a hamburger and fries for $4.99 I just decided to go ahead and order so I could try it. I was very impressed. They are using the same basic menu and format of the Boll Weevil with large tray full of condiments, pool tables etc. The hamburger was very good, the condiments were fine except the top onion slice looked kind of beige and the slice below it had a couple of tiny brown spots. I plucked those off and what I ate was very good. The bun had been browned on the grill, which gave it a little crunch, though it could have stayed on a little longer to keep it crunchy after soaking up the meat and pickle juices. The fries were not homemade but perfectly respectable. The place was moderately busy when I arrived, to my surprise since it is so new, but during the half hour or so I was there, throngs of people came in so it was very loud and full of exuberant customers by the time I left--families, the Lake Murray All Stars baseball team, tons of kids playing pool, very vibrant! I asked my waitress if this was unusual but she said it's been like that since they opened. Wow--good for them to be so successful as soon as they opened! I would definitely come back with my family. read more

Great prices great food, what's not to like. Can get a little loud sports bar atmosphere with a family vibe. Always leave satisfied. read more

Very close to the original Bill Weevils with a somewhat expanded menu. Good service and they handle large groups well. Great vibe inside.

Such nostalgia! My family always used to go to Boll Weevil as a kid, but our go-to location (Shelter Island) closed long long ago. The ambience here isn't quite the same (Pt Loma was dark and cozy, and such a vibe!) but the food is just like I remember it. This was my first time at this location as all the others I've been to recently are also closed. I hope they stay around a while, I almost missed them due to the slightly different name. They have great specials here, can't go wrong with a steer burger and a coke but there's happy hour beer so I opted for that this time. 1/4 pound if you have an average appetite, I was starving so I got a 1/2 pounder and that really hit the spot. Juicy burger on a sturdy bun that won't fall apart, add as many toppings as you like since they bring you a tray full (so glad covid is on the way out). This really brought me back to my childhood, glad I found it out here down the street from my tax guy. I'll have to make the trek out here from downtown more than once a year from now on! read more

When I just want a good no frills Hamburger . This is where I go ! Service is good , and it's old school style Ambiance eating area! I like how they put a tray with condiments out on table! Good Peppers ! read more

The 1/2 pound mushroom swiss burger was definitely a frozen patty. It was flat & perfectly round like a machine made it. It had very poor taste. Actually it didn't have much taste at all. It had very few mushrooms too The waitress was very nice. read more

Wife and I decided to stop in for lunch as we were in the area. First off, love the fact that you seat yourself. The server immediately brought us a menu and took our drink order. We had our drinks and our order placed in less than 5 minutes upon arriving which was surprising because she was the only server and had about seven tables she was taking care of. Wife ordered Patty Melt Combo with onion rings and I opted for the 1/2 LB Steer Burger with fries. Our burgers were cooked perfect, the fries were hot and delicious and lots of them. Between the great food and the awesome service we will definitely be back soon. read more

Excellent, not trying to be anything but a really good burger and fries. Old school vibes. Totally yum when you just want a classic no frills burger. read more

Great food, great service, local gem. Fair pricing, good portions. Pool table, games, and tvs. Good Weekday specials and fair priced beers.

Server Sally is mean!! Brenda is always keeping my change. Heidi is great. John's son, Sivan is a great young man.

Honestly. This is probably the worst burger of my life. 2 burgers and fries over $40! No flavor. You can tell they were frozen. You can go to in and out and have a better burger. It's really bad. read more

Very disappointed that the hours says open till 9pm amd I arrived at 8:35pm to be told the kitchen was closed. Open sign was still on, they need to change their hours. read more

This place is not the old Boll Weevil that we all remember. Starting with the price which for one quarter pounder a half pound burger and fries came to 30 bucks. The burgers were okay but not great. I probably would have given it two and a half Stars if it weren't for the Fox News Channel being played at high volume throughout the place. I think it was the owner who was watching the Fox News. Does he not know that 65% of Californians do not agree with what they say at Fox.? It didn't kill me listen to Fox News for the 15 minutes it took for them to make my burger for takeout but I just wonder whether they are losing a lot of business by that jerk sitting in the corner watching Fox News at full volume. read more

Came here last night and they have a good deal which is a quarter Pound burger, fries, and a drink for $10. What a deal! They even have trays with pickles and condiments on it. They have 2 pool tables and games. They had sports on TV. What more could you want? Saturday nights They have nachos for $1.99 & Friday night they have gyros for $1.99...regular price for gyros is 3.99...when the burger came I was a little bit underwhelmed but it was good for the price. It was decent. Next time going to try the chili. Also Friday is half price apps. read more

I love this place. Good food, decent price, and AMAZING customer service. They really take care of you and make you feel welcome. We had a little get together for my Sons birthday. Everyone had a great time! Great for kids/families Check out their daily specials, they can be some great deals! read more

Waited an hour for service. They forgot about us. If they would of served us, then I would have given my thoughts on the food served.

It was good. Heard Milkshakes are amazing. Prices are a little high. But, what isn't expensive these days. read more

As an older woman, I sometimes get ignored and others are helped first. It happened tonight as I sat waiting to get a menu. I watched as the waitress completely ignored me while clearing tables, waiting for orders to come up (you couldn't come get my order while the orders are not on the counter yet?) while seeing a couple being waited on that had just walked in. When she finally did come over she asked me a couple of times if I wanted a drink and then again when she came back to take my order. No, no, no, no. I don't want a drink. While I waited, I saw the cook come out of the restroom and start touching the buns. Whether she washed her hands inside the restroom or not, she still touched the bathroom door to get out. I almost walked out, but then I said that this probably happens more than we all know, so I just wanted to eat and I had waited enough time. I ordered my cheeseburger well-done. My burger sat a few minutes on the counter while my waitress talked to a couple of guys, so the other waitress picked up my food and tray and brought them to me. When I got the burger, it wasn't well-done, the bun was all scrunchy and soggy and the cheese was gross-looking. The burger and bun were dripping grease so I had to put a lot of the bun aside. I ate maybe four bites and then went to the cash register to pay and leave. Usually when I come to this restaurant, I get the same outgoing lady and the food has been very good. This time, I had a blonde/brown haired heavy-set woman. I told the lady, "the food was not good, so I left it." She was snappy and said to me that I should have told her so she could fix it and then she huffed away. Possibly could have told her, but I seriously doubt the next burger would have been any better. Why? Because she didn't care enough to take my order, pick up my order to see if it was right and when I told her the food wasn't good, she snapped at me instead of checking the food out herself. I guess when businesses say they need their customers, and waitresses say they need the tips, they don't really if they don't care about the cleanliness or food they serve. Shame. read more

Did you know you can get a half pound Steer Burger with French fries for $4.99 Sunday thru Thursday? And for $1 extra, you can add tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and cheese at this place. Well you can, and addition to the above, I added a appetizer of nachos for $2.99 (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-weevil-burger-la-mesa?select=6nXyeVVdJmBSMxYSyYmsPg#7QKFLMjqGBIgkQ4u1hpiYg), and instead of fries, I asked for onion rings for .75 extra. The nachos were pretty simple but good. They came with warm tortilla chips and hot melted cheese sauce. Whether the sauce was made from real cheese, I do not know, but it had a good viscosity and tasted alright. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-weevil-burger-la-mesa?select=6nXyeVVdJmBSMxYSyYmsPg#LbM8CVCPoQ_Dc_Ab227jtQ) It was not spicy, but with a few jalapenos, that spiced it up. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-weevil-burger-la-mesa?select=6nXyeVVdJmBSMxYSyYmsPg#AqU6Wvjy0h14tLkyuHly3g) The Steer burger was good and came with a good amount of crispy onion rings (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-weevil-burger-la-mesa?select=6nXyeVVdJmBSMxYSyYmsPg#i2mSR6Ecznqg6jYFqRTMSA). They prepare the burgers medium, unless otherwise noted. My arrived a little over medium, but that was okay. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-weevil-burger-la-mesa?select=6nXyeVVdJmBSMxYSyYmsPg#wc20yDfdHe5HDdpzy96g4Q) The meat had good flavor, okay texture, and with a bit of juiciness. The was probably previously frozen, but still good. All the other ingredients, including the bun and greens and such, were fresh and tasted good. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-weevil-burger-la-mesa?select=6nXyeVVdJmBSMxYSyYmsPg#pOdyqfddL0XdxnEn0dRmsQ) The onions were well prepared, but they arrived with absolutely no seasoning, so I had to take care of that on my own. The use whole onions in the rings, which I like, and were a tad greasy, but nothing that was a nuisance. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-weevil-burger-la-mesa?select=6nXyeVVdJmBSMxYSyYmsPg#xewFRhAKb6ef8JCpHXfu4Q) Service was okay. My server was a little absentmindedly, forgetting a few items I requested, including that I wanted onions rings, instead of fries, but at the end, it all worked out. read more

I been searching of hamburger eateries online, and found the title of Weevil Burger; (to me) I that is only the reversal of the original name of the older business I known as Boll Weevil. So I called this place and asked "Is Weevil Burger related to Boll Weevil." I was given a reply within a couple of seconds, in the saying of "No." I was replied to, in a SHREWD, strong fashion. As if I offended his male. I then went to search online. As the online search of YELP PROVED, In Images (and later in reviews) that "Weevil Boll" is only the current format of what used to be of the (original) "Boll Weevil." The same design/format signage, the same design menu, the same format seating, etc. I don't know what this person who answered the phone was so worried, via his shrewd, concealing attitude. Nowadays, there is so much more selection in the heavy-patty burger market. read more

Had dinner at the Weevil last night with my wife and we were very impressed. The burgers were huge and delicious and the salads were quite good as well. The menu was large and varied, not just burgers. Overall very reminiscent of the original Bol Weevil restaurants, which this location was originally. We especially appreciated the service provided by our server, Maddy, she was great. We'll be back. This review was originally posted to someone else's name, I am reposting under my account. read more

The last few times we've been here the servers were not attentive at all. No refills on our drinks. Took forever to get the check. The server seemed more interested in standing at the bar talking to some guys drinking beer and watching football than serving her tables. Last time we'll be coming here!!! read more

I needed something to eat and rest a bit after shopping, so thought I'd stop for a hamburger, or?? Well I decided on the Gyro and some onion rings, which were utterly delicious. The Gyro meat itself was tender, tasty and the lettuce, tomatoes, onions were fresh and crunchy. The sauce was very tasty too. The Weevil Onion Rings speak for themselves, even at $5.99. The Gyro was only $3.99. Best of all was the young lady that served my food. I don't know her name, but my ticket says clerk ID 3. It was late on a Sat.afternoon, and the place was empty , just a few customers, which was very surprising, but after looking at what I thought was a very expensive menu, I wondered if that might be the reason. read more

We went to Weevel Burger today and had a coupon that brought us in. Buy one entree and 2 drinks and get a free entree up tp $10 free. There was no where on the coupon that said must be printed, there was even a bar code. The waitress said you must have the coupon printed. We told her no where on the coupon did it say must be printed. We assumed you could save a tree and use the bar code. We got up and left. read more

I haven't stopped into weevil burger on Fletcher Parkway in probably close to 6 years because It is always a place that I forget about but with the coupon that they send to local residents in the community, my mom and I decided to stop in on a rainy day and grab some burgers. Weevil Burger deals seriously cannot be beat! From Monday to Thursday, they have a 1/2 pound steerburger and fries for 7.99! This is honestly a deal you cannot beat and is what my mom and I both ended up ordering. The burger was cooked perfectly and I really like how they have a tray of all of their toppings so that you can add pretty much anything that you want to your burger to customize it. Our server was really considerate and caring and checked on us frequently to make sure that we had everything that we needed/wanted. The Weevil Burger prides themselves on fantastic service and I think this is truly what has kept them in business for all these years. I look forward to taking advantage of another deal here soon! read more

The Weevil Burger - 1/2 Pound Steerburger - American Near Me - La Mesa, California

I've been here twice. Two different servers. My experience was less than pleasing. Last night, I went to eat. I was there about an hour and there were two severs and five tables occupied. No large parties. Just parties of 2-5 people around. Got there stood at the front for two minutes, no greeting and went to seat myself and the server said sit wherever. Told her I needed a minute to order. She immediately asks what I would like and said I need a minute. She comes back 15 min later. Meanwhile I saw her talking to other employees and wondering around. Irritating. I almost walked out and I should have, the service didn't get better. Asked what I wanted and I told her. She then asked one of my friends what side they wanted with their meal. "What would you like for a side?" Not once did she mention an additional cost. Waited another 15, while eating she came over and began to take the tray with the condiments. She was stopped. We didn't signal or say we we're done. Drinks were empty. After all the waiting I didn't dare ask for a refill that would have taken too long. Every time I looked at her to see what she was doing she was talking or just standing there. I received the bill and saw a charge for the side when she specifically stated "what side would you like?" Not even acknowledging an additional cost. Not once did she ask how is everything for you? No follow up questions. This isn't a big luxary place however neither is Applebee's and they check on you and make sure your drinks aren't empty. The bill was $50 with the cost of the "side" she then walked off and another employee had to finish the transaction. She didn't ask how every thing went either I replied I just want to get out of here. I might as well have served myself. I didn't see a manager on duty. But my experience was less than anything pleasant. read more

Good food and excellent service. I've never had a bad meal and I've been there dozens of times. It's always clean and everyone is treated the same. There specials are great for us retirees on a budget. Plenty of parking is available. read more

I am so excited to write this review. I want to take a moment to recognize a server at this establishment named BRENDA!! Yesterday was my sons birthday dinner that I had planned for 7pm. I messed Up and told my guests 6:30pm, silly me! As my family showed up they were shocked at by amount of people that were there! A party of 50 or More came In last minute because of the weather (they were originally at a park). To be completely honest it was overwhelming for me. Loud and too many people to my liking. However, Brenda made me and my family feel like we were the only ones there! She took SUCH good care of us (a party of at least 25) in addition, she was taking other tables too!! Big shout out to the kitchen staff too because our food was not delayed and came out fast!! I couldn't believe how calm, cool, and collected Brenda was with so many people! She was also very Patient with me. Originally, my guest total was 15 but, grew to 25 and added tables and chairs as we needed them (even when another server told us NO!) my baby boys birthday was seamless. Thank you Brenda! read more
