Boll Weevil

Total scam place in advertising ..Big sign lunch special $9.99/up withdrink purchase.12-3 PMWalked in and waitress was very slow to give menu and I said I wanted to get oneof those lunch specials and then order a drink,as required.One special..grill cheese for $9.99 and all the other lunch items werethe price of a full dinner and no deal at all..$25/with drink and tip isnt a lunchdeal. After sitting 10 minutes for that required soda and saw the (1) 9.99 grill cheese offer I cancelled the soda.Your price are more than similar places so no drink requirement should be required.I say you get far better value for your money at other known restraunts chains andwould definetly not fall for Boll Weevil scam deal.Enjoy your meal at a place with professional servers and fair prices.

They have a cute little play area for kids that my son LOVED. But the restaurant didn't feel that clean to me and it had a slightly unpleasant odor.The food was REALLY greasy. I had a garlic cheese burger and the grease was dripping off with every bite. The fries were greasy too, but not as bad. Nothing was really seasoned. My son's burger was very bland. However the fried pickles were in spears and they were pretty darn good.The waitress I had was really kind when she checked on us. They were a little busy with a big party in, so she didn't come by but twice while we were there.Overall, not my favorite.

If you are old enough to remember the Boll Weevil commercials in the 80's, this is the restaurant they filmed them in. A San Diego institution back then, only a couple left. Opened because the owner of a high-priced steak house in the Midway area needed to do something with the aging steaks. So they ground them up and made steer burgers... Boll Weevil was born!But you gotta say the restaurants are old and dusty, but we love them. Best burgers, best onion rings, best good old fashion hamburger joint anywhere.

Food is good!People are nice and helpful!Have always like food quality!Best beef in California! Thank you!

Tracy was the sweetest. Food is good but a bit overpriced. Busy place, so expect to wait for your food a bit. Lots of kids running around screaming. (You've been warned.) But honestly a pretty good experience all in all.

We love coming to our local Boll Weevil. We like the food and atmosphere. Jana is our favorite server. She remembers our drink orders, food orders. She always has a smile on her face, she's just the sweetest.

They actually have the best burgers. And the onion rings are awesome also. Don't overlook this place just cause it's been around a long time. Try it again you will like it.

It took at least an hour and half just to get my food.......and the food wasn't even that good no bap

Boths are torn tables are sticky and dirty food was good not sure I'll be back...... ........................

Stopped into this Boll Weevil for lunch with my son. I used to eat at the location that was on Miramar Road DECADES ago before it closed. I was in the area and thought it would be fun to try out the same place, different location. I found the atmosphere and food to be just what I remembered. I had a chocolate shake, fries, and the classic Steerburger. They bring you a tray of condiments when you first sit down - there is a container of yellow sauce they call "Steerburger sauce"..which to me is what makes Boll Weevil the place it is. It is a very unique sauce...if you eat a burger you really need to put this on it. I remembered the Miramar location had a giant turtle shell on the wall with menu items written on it. I have no idea if it's a real shell or just a replica..but I found one on the wall here just like I remembered at the Miramar location and snapped a pic. the shake was really good too. It was real ice cream, milk, and chocolate syrup..not something out of a machine. Boll Weevil is NOT a fancy restaurant. Yes, the seats have some rips, and it is dated looking inside.... But that is how it is supposed to be. They have video games, a juke box, and all the stuff you remember form the old burger joints. The Boll Weevil is NOT fancy like Burger Lounge or Islands... it is a simple burger joint with an older vibe. I love both of those places as well. But if you just want a basic burger with some killer secret sauce - and you don't mind the "basic" surroundings - it is a solid burger. I will be back next time I am in town.
