Slappy's Burgers and Brews, National City CA

Burgers.pizza.fries.and football what more can you ask for. I got the 1/2 lb Angus classic cheeseburger combo.omg it was so yummy.highly recommended hubby had the pizza while watching the eagles game with a buddy.it was really fun!

The burger was good. Except for one thing, as I was sitting there eating a huge rat ran across the floor and went straight into the kitchen. I was no longer hungry.

Service suckes you have to ask 3-4 times to get anything including the check the food came out room temperature if not partially cold rude customer service and crowded area great place to get pickpocked

I had a beer and onion rings and really enjoyed the atmosphere and service! A hidden local gem!

I went in for dinner, decided to start with the mac and cheese (I'm glad I didn't order more). It was barely warm, there was no chance the shredded cheese on it was going to melt. Too much bread crumbs. And most importantly it didn't taste good, I couldn't really eat it even though I was very hungry.

If this place is a "local favorite", I feel bad for the locals.

They had some draft beer on tap, but no craft beer.

Great place in National city. Fun sports bar great friendly service Nlug Mellissa Jenny Bernadette Rosie Zay not in any particular order. All sweet and nice waitresses

Called in the order, guy on phone was sweet and CSR oriented. Double checked the order. Showed up to pickup the ladies were nice. Burgers were HUGE and delicious.

The girl who came up to us didn't even say hello. Just said to sit somewhere ANYWHERE. We sat at a slightly bigger table and she told us we have to move if a bigger party comes. First of all, the place was almost empty not a lot of people there. Why tell us to sit anywhere if we can't actually sit anywhere. What a rude dumb broad. She has a bad attitude so we decided to leave. If you hate your job, you make it very obvious! Never returning again.

Fun sports bar. Televisions, food, drinks. Open dining area, easy access from the road
Had the Cubano burger and it was delish! Fries were golden, crispy, and very satisfying.
Service was wonderful. Courteous and fast.
I will definitely be returning with my whole crew Yar!

Apparently, this is a local favorite as it was busy the whole time I was there, and many people appeared to know each other

Had an excellent chef salad with grilled chicken on it and my friend had loaded potato skins. Both were very good.

First time customer.

The hostess looks bored and unapproachable, qualities not wanted in a hostess. Got seated fairly quickly.

Once seated, drinks were quickly taken. After that, we were ready to order, but had to wait about 5 minutes for the drinks to arrive and then were asked to wait so a table could get their order in first because they too had been waiting.

Root beer float arrived, but then 20 minutes passed before the food arrived. I would have liked to enjoy my float with my burger.

A piece of my bacon was burnt at the end, but overall, the food was decent. The food wasn't bad, everything just took too long and hampered our dining experience. Little things from waiting for silverware to having to get the employee's attention to ask for the check. Once the check was dropped, I had my credit card ready, but she scurried off.

In terms of ambiance, it was really cold and dark like a dungeon. Another customer used her cell phone flashlight to read the menu.

The party after us got their food much faster even though they arrived and sat down much after us.

I recommend either bringing in another server, or at minimum train the hostess and do more frequent table touches.

The food is okay. The service however is garbage. I didn't catch her name but if your waitress has a Dr. Simi BBL with thighs that don't match be prepared for the slowest service and a nasty attitude (she doesn't care because the tip is mandatory). She has short term memory loss. I asked to change the fries to onion rings and she said I didn't ask in time (how do you ask when she disappears for 30mins at a time?).

The food was very delicious and the portions were large, the only thing is that it took a while to serve, but the service was very good.

Food was desent, Horrible service.
Waitress was not attentive she kept gossiping with the table next to us.and receive food in 45 mins. First time here and my last.

Had food from here a lot. Just sucks that their delivery (no matter what it's from) says I live too far away. I'm less than a mile away from here and they won't deliver with any of the food delivery.

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The customer service was on point, the fries are beautifully amazing and crispy, the chocolate shake is perfect and not too heavy on the chocolate. I am very impressed with this business and will definitely be back! Thanks Slappy’s

Waitresses were super helpful being it was our first time, wings were awesome! Mac and cheese was great! Atmosphere was good, highly recommend

Rosie my server was very nice, burgers tasted so good after jujitsu practice. Definitely sports bar vibes. Love it.

Love:
Meat had a great crust and seasoned well. Bottomings ratios were spot on. Enough cheese for the 1/2lb patty. Buttery bun. Fries were amazing! Perfectly crispy and seasoned.

Don’t love:
I asked for medium and didn’t get that.

Price: $14 1/2lb with fries.

Rec Level:
Overall a solid burger worthy of a visit if you’re in the area!

Tip:
Order a side of slappy sauce for your fries!
