Best hamburgers! Matter of fact, everything is good here! Service is excellent. Servers are all friendly! Love this place.

Service is outstanding and the food is good, a good family place! It's like a family restaurant with good people who make you feel good to be there.

Great east county bar with back yard where your kids actually play and you can have some family time as well while you are watching your football game.

Pretty swell place! Same owners/sister bar to The Hills in La Mesa, so the food is just as good & maintaining the same quality & helpful service & fun atmosphere. Since it's East County and Lakeside, it's more of a western/rodeo vibe, which is apt & perfect, especially when the rodeo is in town. Overall, management does a great job of hiring staff, designing & maintaining the menu & quality. Keep it up!!!

Haven't been here in years, but the vibe is still the same. I know they definitely have gotten a face lift since I've been here last, and it looks great! Food is pretty good. Just know that since they make the pizza fresh for you, it will take a while for it to come out. Other than that, still a pretty good option for dinner!

Great neighborhood-type pub to come to for a good meal. Our server Mallory was the best; she was fast, efficient and friendly. The burgers are huge and messy with ample toppings. Sadly though they don't have the fried pickle chips on the menu here like they offer at their La Mesa establishment which are outstanding.

We needed to get out tonight and found ourselves at Eastbound though I swore I would never return. In the first two minutes Samantha greeted us with a smile as if we were friends she knew for years. She helped us choose a couple of fine beers, we enjoyed some garlic fries with that, and had fun talking about the historic pictures of Lakeside that were on the wall. We are definitely going back! When you go, ask for Samantha. You will be happy that you did!

Walked in to Eastbound on a Saturday morning and the first thing that I noticed was the fabulous remodel. New booths, the four-tops are now on the westbound side of Eastbound. Not only does it create more floorspace and better flow, It keeps the place from getting stale. It keeps it fresh and new. Well done. I took up residence at the bar. I was immediately greeted by Sierra who handed a menu to me and took my drink order. They didn't have Salty Crew so Sierra was quick to offer me a Ballast Point Speedboat. Perfect replacement! I finished my beer and by that time Ashley had joined Sierra behind the bar. Ashley was quick to offer a second round. (Both are very easy on the eyes, by the way) A few sips in was when my wife Becky (also easy on the eyes!) joined me. Without missing a beat, Sierra was in front of Becky taking her drink order. We also placed a food order. Lakesilders to share and a small pozole for me. The Laksliders are easily shareable. Four mini burgers with American cheese, grilled onion and chipotle sauce on sweet Hawaiian rolls, served with fries. These little burgers were delicious. Four per order is unprecedented in the world of sliders. We loved the addition of grilled onions. I'm a big fan of the Eastbound Pozole. A traditional Mexican soup of slow roasted pork and hominy, corn or flour tortillas and sour cream, diced onion and cilantro. (You can add a fried egg for $1.95) It can be found on the weekend brunch menu for $11.95 for a gigantic bowl of it. A smaller portion can be ordered for $5.95, which is the perfect portion size for me. I asked for corn tortillas and was given three. Good quality tortillas. Excellent friendly service from Sierra and Ashley at the bar! Excellent food from the kitchen!

This was a great spot to enjoy some beers, have yummy food with kids and the dog! They have indoor and outdoor sitting! I wish I had taken a picture of my beer, but the name has raspberry in it, which was tasty if you like a fruit twist to your beers. The food was delicious: mini burgers with tater tots, salad wrapped in a tortilla (my fav) rodeo burger, pretzel bites, firecrackers and French fries! Also, they have great BBQ sauce. :) Service was good, in the back you just go up there to order. Would def come back to this chill atmosphere :)

This is very cool place to go, you can watch sport indoor and enjoy drink or they have outside seating with arcade games for kids and you can also bring dog. I got 4 sliders and burger with fries and tater tot and everything tastes good. The meat in the slider is moist abs still a little pink inside. Good customer service and very nice place to come with the family that had kids.
