Best WLM Reviews
Hello Chula Vista, what a hidden gem of a spot. The positive is the fact that the female part owner goes out of her way to make sure that y you feel like part of their familia. The food was flavorful, filling, and great tasting. The location is in the heart of downtown Chula Vista. I felt the price point was slightly high. The adult beverages seemed to do the trick. I drank Diet Coke. I did not finish my Centennial burger or my salad. FYI the fries can be their own addiction.
I love this place so much!! The owners are fantastic and they have the best vibes! All the servers are incredibly amazing. Now the food is a 10/10 we loooove every single burger from here and the drinks are to die for!!! We come at least every 2 weeks and we’re planning on making it a weekly thing!
Great place for cold beer and a quick bite! Staff is very attentive. Someone even had a birthday party for their dog here
I’ve been meaning to come and eat here for years. I finally stopped in for a burger after following them on social media.
So the burger was fresh, juicy and delicious! The beef really tastes great.
I ordered the side of garlic fries and while they were tasty, they really skimp on the portion of fries. Not sure if this was just a fluke or a common thing.
Service was great and fast. Lots of seating on a busy Sunday afternoon. Lots of parking in the rear if you can’t find any on Third Ave. Parking is free on Sunday (metered).
It is a bit loud with crowd + music and the room’s acoustics so you may have trouble hearing your lunch companions while inside. Outdoor seating available too.
Very slow service. No one came to take our order until 20 minutes after we sat down (not even for water or drinks). It took another 30 minutes to get our food. The burgers are very very good, but the wait is unacceptable.
The food was amazing. I went there for the balboa makeover of the Double western bacom from Carls JR. and it was so juicy and delicious! The salt & pepper fries were so addicting and the service was really good too. Everyone is so polite and has good vibes. I recommend anyone to try out !
Really good bacon cheeseburger. The meat was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The bun needs work though. The burger was messy and did not hold together well. The salt and pepper fries were delicious. Service was fast and very friendly. I would definitely come back.
Stopped by for some burgers as I recently decided I would search for the best burger in San Diego.... The environment and service are definitely the standouts at this establishment. Everyone was very helpful and friendly and that always makes for a good experience. The food on the other hand was disappointing. I forgot the names but we ordered a western bacon burger, a double stacked burger and a single order of salt and pepper fries. Both looked absolutely delicious when they were brought out... Unfortunately there was very little flavor in both of them. The highlight of the meal would probably be the salt and pepper fries, although they were slightly oversalted. Overall, a pleasant experience in terms of the environment and staff but will not be returning because of the disappointing food.
