The Weevil Burger Restaurant — Restaurant in La Mesa

I ordered over the phone for takeout, I wanted a fish sandwich and a regular hamburger with an order of frings, when I went to go pick it up the girl told me it was $37, I don’t mind paying for food but she completely missed led me and got the entire order messed up, She did not tell me that you have to order the fish sandwich with fries otherwise I wouldn’t of got the frings, then on the hamburger she gave me the largest hamburger and put cheese on it I originally told her a regular hamburger with lettuce and tomato. being that we don’t eat a lot of fries I had her take out the frings and didn’t notice the larger hamburger and cheese on it until I already was home, The girl that took my order is not the brightest apple on the tree she had the personality of a piece of paper and I will never be there again I asked her with the fish sandwich can you make the fries with onion rings she said absolutely no substitutions, I will no longer go to this particular bowl weevil I will only go to the one in Lakeside where they treat you and greet you nicely, Find another bowl weevil and enjoy this one looks like they just wanna charge...

As someone who’s lived close to La Mesa for more than 20 years, I REALLY wanted to love this place… unfortunately, it was disappointing. I went and seated myself and asked the waitress to give me a couple minutes to order since I’ve never been here…. She proceeded to leave me alone for almost 20 minutes. I was about 30 seconds away from getting up when she finally came and took my order… I’m not sure if it was intentional or an oversight but it felt passive aggressive, especially since it wasn’t busy at all. A plus is that the food came quickly- I got a guacamole burger and fries and the burger was ok… the guac was a tiny spoonful of mashed avocado with no seasoning, so that was disappointing. However, the patty itself was flavorful and having an entire condiment tray given at the table was a plus since you had everything you needed. All that said, I will give this place another try and hope it’s better the second...

So, its an old school burger joint with comfy diner booths and sweet, scatterbrained waitresses. Don't come here if you're in a rush.

Food is greasy but, mostly, in a good way. Fries are basic but you can dress them up with the AWESOME condiment tray (see picture). Ask for mayo. Portions are big!

This place is perfect for watching sports/ football with their beer picher specials and huge viewing screen. They have a few draft beer options and plenty of domestic options as well as tasty milkshakes and root beer floats.

They have a tiny arcade section with a billiard table in the back. Huge parking lot.

I threw everything up later that night BUT it was probably a new medication I was on and the huge beer I forced...
