50 Best American Restaurants near Bonita

“It was okay, it just took a little too long for the server to come back to check on us. It wasn't super crowded but I think they need more servers. The ones there were taking care of the inside tables where our group was AND the tables in the outside patio.“

“We are from “the beef capital” of Australia and discovered The Lion’s Share during SDCC 2023. My husband has very high standards when it comes to meat (his family owned a cattle property) and he could not fault a single dish. We tried camel sausage for the first time and were amazed at the flavor. Every dish was delicious, and make sure you try the brussel sprouts. A restaurant that specializes under exotic meats that can make brussel sprouts that delicious is doing something right! It is our must visit restaurant when we visit San Diego“

“Just spent five nights at the Wyndham Baysidd and had breakfast every morning at Hazelwoods. Great food, fabulous staff. Highly recommend them. Ann & Steve from NJ“

“I attended Juniper & Ivy for a small post-wedding reception. The space was nice and sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant, although it was loud at times because it’s separated by a curtain. It did still feel private, which was great. Although I was the photographer at this wedding, the staff was still super nice and was able to get me a vegetarian meal. They also let the couple bring in their own cakes, which was great! I’d recommend this spot for a smaller reception for sure.“

“Always great service and delicious food prepared fresh. Family atmosphere and worth the wait.“

“Yummy food. Had the 805 fries and #5 Lumpia“

“Best breakfast we’ve ever had! Absolutely delicious and great service! Would 100% recommend 👍“

“Bivouac Adventure Lodge is such a gorgeous space! Every little detail is extremely intentional and you can tell so much thought and love has gone into curating the space. Lara was gracious enough to let me host my journal club in her space and everyone loved it! The food and drinks were delicious and it was the perfect ambiance for a Camp themed event! Cannot speak enough about how much I loved hosting here!“

“Such a great dining experience in the heart of Balboa Park.

Emiliano was our waiter and absolutely made the experience. We let him help guide us through the menu, and he did not disappoint.

We started with the pear and beet salad and masa-fried squash blossoms, then worked our way through the Vietnamese pork meatballs and lamb seekh, and finished with the Wagyu burger. Every dish brought something completely different to the table, which made sharing everything even more fun.

The food was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and just adventurous enough without trying too hard. Add the atmosphere of being right in the heart of Balboa Park, and it made for such a memorable meal.

Definitely ask for Emiliano and let him help you choose you won't be disappointed.“

“If you want a spot to watch a Philly game, this is very clearly the place to be in San Diego. I've watched Birds, Flyers, and Phillies games here. It's absolutely packed for Eagles games, with the crowd spread between two indoor spaces and a large outdoor area. IMO, the IPA choices here have been comparatively weak when San Diego has so many great IPAs to offer, especially at both nearby North Park and Pure Project, but there is a decent selection of other styles. However, the pretzel is the real selling point. Whether on its own or as the bread of a sandwich (the Spicy Turkey was recommended to me and it is quite delicious!), the soft pretzels are the real deal. I saw lots of people coming in just to eat, and I can't blame them.“

“Soft toasted Bagel with Cream cheese, Orange juice. Hot Coffee with honey sugar tow . Honey Sparkling Water. Daniel Smith.“

“Absolutely loved the spicy mission burger it was worth the price Motr greeted us with a warm smile and was very helpful explaining what comes on the burgers 12/10 experience we will definitely be coming back and hopefully see Motr and everyone else’s cheerful attitudes❤“

“Excellent steaks, great service and wonderful atmosphere!!!“

“Great food and drinks! The service is superb!“

“Service was top notch! First-timer with a party of 9 for a birthday dinner. I always get nervous when going to a new place for a special group meal, but Topsail exceeded our expectations! Our server was amazing as were all the others who assisted. Beautiful views of the bay. They offer couch seating and high tops. We were seated at a high-top for 9 people which worked out great. Food was good but nothing stood out, probably because we were focused on celebrating the birthday gal. Overall, everyone enjoyed their experience and atmosphere. Would definitely come back to try other dishes and encourage others to go as well! Thank you, Topsail!“

“Retro arcade conveniently located in La Mesa. Don't drink so can't speak to the beer selection but they have a wife variety of taps. If theres a beeryou wanted to try this is a phenomenal opportunity. Played for about 45 min, 2 ppl cost $27 incl good tip. Sundays are free play all day. I'll be back“

“I got the potato, poblano & chicken rolled tacos which is delicious. Both me and my daughter enjoyed it. The cantarito is also very good. We also got churro and the sauce is so good.
There's parking in the front. We went during October fest so we parked kind of far. We sat outside and they have the fan blowing with a mist which is so nice. Customer service is excellent!“

“Service 💯 Food 💯 Drinks 💯“

“2 Sundays a month guaranteed! We love an old school diner that gives back to the community.“

“we have been going to this place for years. with that said service was outstanding and the food was great as expected. I had surgery on my Right Knee and still not that comfortable sitting at bench tables. no problem here they sat us at a table with both chairs and bench. Now that is great customer service. They listened and accommodated us for lunch. Thank you Islands for paying attention to detail. we will be back . oh and if you like chicken. Try their Sandpiper. I get it every time .“
