Things to do in La Mesa
7. BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries
Reviewed By Lilush14
Let's face it, how bad do you have to be to earn a terrible review online? Fried food is fried food, which is usually tasty. Right?The problem with BFF Burgers and Fries is the acerbic owner. Sadly, she does understand the concept of customer service. Given the many burger joints in town, I recommend choosing another establishment, one that does not have a snarling owner snapping at customers. My family and I don't need her attitude; we're going elsewhere for our burgers and fries.Skip this place.P.S. Portions are on the small side and prices are on the high side.

The magnificence of the undersea world of Anthony's Fish Grotto cannot be overstated! I have the happiest memories here! For stunning architecture, charming atmosphere, delicious food and gracious service, Anthony's is simply the best.Scroll to see Anthony's 1959 menu and read about Mama Ghio: "An uncommon early menu from Anthony's Fish Grotto, with b/w photographic vignettes of Catherine "Mama" Ghio, her two sons, Anthony and Tod, and her son-in-law, Roy Weber to the front. Catherine opened the restaurant in 1946, when she was in her fifties and a widowed mother of three. It soon became a landmark of the city's cuisine, opening several other locations and moving to its most well-known location on waterfront in the 1960s. After over 70 years of business, the San Diego restaurant closed in 2017 when its lease with the city expired." The La Mesa location survives. Menu courtesy abaa.org.Dear Adrienne: Thank you for the kind words and the retelling of the Anthonyâs history. Our remaining La mesa location is truly a gem; an oasis in East County. The pond, the ducks, the dog friendly dining, the serene patio and lush landscaping create a relaxed and rejuvenating atmosphere. And of course one of the cities largest selections of fresh seafood and Mama Ghioâs original recipes keep guest coming back for over 73 years. Thank you again for the kind words; I canât wait to share them with our wonderful staff.Regards, Craig Ghio

We recently ate here as a Church group. It took quite awhile to get seated so we were now in a hurry to eat and get to our play. The waiter was really great about moving things along. The food is always good and those bread rolls they serve are delicious. We're pleased to hear this, and we're already looking forward to welcoming you back soon, GetAwayGma!

I hadn't eaten here in many years because the last time I ate there it tasted very commercial-ly, get-your-meals-out-fast. I had a hard time understanding what people liked about it. I am happy to say that the food tastes much better now!
