Boll Weevil - Lakeside, California

Excellent steer burgers! Got a medium rare 1/2 lb Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger, a regular 1/2 lb steer burger, and Onion Rings. The mushroom bacon cheeseburger had Swiss cheese, perfectly cooked crisp bacon, and sauteed mushrooms. The flavor of the meat was amazing; the best burger I've had in a long time. I think the key was ordering it medium rare. The regular steer burger meat was cooked medium and was not as flavorful. The onion rings were crispy with large juicy tender onions inside, definitely fresh made. Update: Got a medium rare 1/2 lb Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger. This time it was good, but not as tasty as the last time. Got the Fish and Chips substituting sweet potato fries for the regular fries. The fish, fries, and salad were good. The fish was flaky and moist. When we got the bill there was a $1 extra charge for the substitution we were not told about. Since both regular and sweet potato fries are the same price on the menu, the extra charge was a surprise. Update: Got a medium rare 1/2 lb Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger, and a Wing Ding basket with blue cheese dressing on the salad. Swapped out the fries for onion rings. Everything was very good. The basket had actual chunks of juicy fried chicken, not processed chicken nuggets. The substitution charge has increased to $2. Update: Came on Thursday to try the fresh made fish and chips. OMG the fish was amazing! The batter was like a thin tempura and the fish was juicy and flaky. We will definitely come back to do it again, and gladly pay extra for the all you can eat. Update: Got the Thursday all you can eat fish and chips. It was excellent as usual. Update: Got the Thursday all you can eat fish and chips. Definitely the best freshly made fish and chips made in San Diego county!

I was pulling for this little varmint. We kept seeing it there, on the other side of the road from our morning Starbucks, tempting us. Every morning we saw the mythical creature across the road, beckoning us, deviously chuckling and then hiding behind the bushes next to a car wash ... inconspicuous.

We had such great expectations, to our delight it was even cuter on the inside than we expected. This place was definitely our kind of place...ambiance wise. But no matter how much we admired the Boll Weevil's devilish cuteness, the food was a little smaller than we thought it was going to be. At a place like this at home we would spend maybe 30% less to get this much food. I was ok with it though because it was good, as long as you know you like little hole in the wall type places with tastey chili cheese fries and crunchy, crispy onion rings. The salad I got was awesome and the Buffalo sauce is reminding me to add another star back even though I initially wrote this a week ago.

As far as the food goes, it was adequate given we were camping and a nice prepared meal was extra appreciated. 👌 we gave a nice fat tip to the waitress because she honestly loves this little place and so did we

I don’t usually post a review But my experience here was horrible. From the moment I walked in It was absolutely depressing. The customer service was absolutely atrocious Even though they get paid more hourly. The place was completely empty Just a few seniors, the prices were garbage. I would not recommend this place to anyone with a family for kids.

Kathie was so awesome, she will be missed! She is our server and has been there for 20 years I believe she said, she’s the one that crocheted those little hamburgers that are around the restaurant and I actually bought A real size one that she made that is so cute! The food is really good, I really enjoyed the chili!

We were greeted with a warm welcome and were seated promply. Our server was kind and helpful. The steer burger was cooked perfectly and the secret sause was exactly the way I remembered it. I will be back many more times now that I know there are still locations open. We asked our server how long they have been open she replyed 42 years. Hopefully many more to come. One of this cities originals, thank you.
