Boll Weevil 53 - Santee

My Father in law took me here for lunch today. They have a Wednesday Special which is a 1/2lb Steerburger for $3.99. We both got that (I got mine with American cheese), some fries and a Pepsi. Burger was tasty. Seemed a little light for 1/2lb though in the sense that I mowed through it rather fast and wasn 't really full . Fries were cooked perfect...extra crispy and good. Pepsi was Pepsi. Service was great! Our waitress was really friendly. Price=? My father in law paid for our meal. Probably somewhere around $20 or so. Not too shabby. I probably won 't ever crave this place, but if someone wanted to come, I would join them because the burgers are pretty tasty. They even have an AYCE 1/3lb burgers and fries for $9.99 with the purchase of a beverage on one night (forgot what day the sign said...think it was Fridays). Not too shabby.

My girlfriend and I came into Bollweevils with a mean appetite. We weren't the easiest customers because of this, ad you can imagine. Yet Tiffany, our waitress, handled us with the softest gloves there are. She patiently took care of all our demands. Despite it being an extremely busy night, she was calm, cool, collected, kind, and efficient, as she got us our food in a timely fashion less than 5 minutes . This girl is incredible, and the food was just as great as well. The cook, too, deserves a lot of credit for putting out a quality product so fast. Hey, it's not McDonald's, but you would've thought it was because of how fast they serve you, except for the food being so delicious. It truly was a gourmet restaurant without the wait. Truly nothing short of great.

Went here for the first time yesterday. We had a coupon and decided to give it a try (lunch) as we are both patty melt lovers. The place was quite full but only one server was working. She was very friendly but way too busy. We ordered two chocolate milkshakes, two patty melts and one order of fries. After a considerable wait, she arrived with the two milkshakes both warm. Then the patty melts came very dry and cold nearly inedible and she stated the fries would be there shortly (10 minutes later). The fries were also cold. Other than a very friendly, over worked server, this place rates at the very bottom of burger joints . Really, really bad!!

Food was hot and pretty damn good. Service sucked. Our waitress looked like she hated her job. Place smelled like a dirty sponge.... And they all had shirts advertising different places to eat... oh and beware there is no welcome committee at the front door .. you have to walk to the kitchen to get any attention.

Was craving chicken wings, but didn't want to dish out too much dough. I decided to go to Boll Weevil during their happy hour. Thank goodness that it's baseball season because it is happy hour whenever there is a Padres game and M-F, 4-6pm. At 60 cents a wing, it's a steal. The wings are huge. They are larger than other places I've been. They have a variety of flavors, but I stick to the mild buffalo sauce. I know, I'm weak. I also ordered zucchini sticks. I prefer those over mozzarella sticks because you just get more. Ten wings and an order of zucchini sticks later, I am stuffed and very happy. They are famous for their half pound steerburgers which a lot of people do get. On Wednesdays, they're $5.49. I used to order their burgers, but the bottom bun always got soggy and I hate soggy bread. Needless to say, I don't order the burgers here. The beer selection is pretty good. They have their usual, but change their selection enough that if you want to try something new, you can. Every time I've gone, the service has been great. Tiffany is really good. I try to sit at one of her tables whenever I can. I noticed Kelli didn't have a good experience with her. Tiffany might have been having an off day that day. I guess I've just been fortunate to have attentative servers, even when it isn't Tiffany. Parking can sometimes be a pain, but the 60 cents wings are worth circling the parking lot. The tables are clean when I've been there and if there are tables that need to bussed, they don't sit dirty too long.
