    Cheese burger and fried
    Mercedes A.

    We came here after a long night from the parade, My boyfriend got the chicken salad which we liked 8/10 I got a cheeseburger with fried, my burger was way beyond brunt, and they fries were good. How ever since it was close to closing time I felt like they rushed the food in order to close.

    Loaded Fries
    Vanessa S.

    We've given this place several chances because we really enjoy their beer, but the food has been consistently disappointing. We've tried the pizzas, chicken tenders, and loaded fries. The pizzas were just okay but left us with stomach aches, likely from how greasy they were. The chicken tenders were dry and overcooked. Today, the fries were barely warm, hard, and dry, like leftover fries that had been sitting out. There was hardly any beer cheese on them, and what was there was clumpy and hard instead of the smooth consistency beer cheese should have. When we ordered, we noticed the two people in the kitchen just chatting. No one was cooking, and our food came out within a minute of them stepping back in, makes sense now why the fries weren't fresh. The only reason they're getting any stars is because our server and bartender were friendly and attentive

    Mike Hess Brewing is a personal favorite and go-to in Alpine! We met here for my grandma's birthday party on a Saturday afternoon. There was plenty of space for our party of 11. I love going to restaurants with family, not only for quality time, but also because it's fun to try everyone else's food! ;) We tried several pizzas, loaded fries, a couple of burgers, and boneless and bone-in wings. Everything was delish! And of course the beers are top-notch as well. Great service; our waitresses were very accommodating and patient with our large party. Fun fact: when this building was first constructed, I worked in the original restaurant, which was called Paparazzi. It was the sister restaurant of Mediterraneo, which is on the other side of the parking lot! :)

    Having live music with delicious pizza is awesome! Jamie King played from 2-4 today and it was great! The patio is so nice and they are really dog friendly!

    Mushroom pizza with sausage
    Jules F.

    Stopped by Mike Hess after going to the pumpkin patch. I absolutely loved the ambiance here with Jonathan Ford playing music. Service was top notch and the recommendations were on point. Beers were crisp and cold. The food was delicious between the wings, pub burger with fries and the mushroom pizza with sausage. We will defiantly return the next time we are in the area. There's merch to purchase in the back. Restrooms were clean.

    Flights

    I've been here three times, and every time Katie has been awesome! I can vouch that the margarita pizza and the smash burgers are great. The seltzers, beer and cider are also really good- my favorite is the triple jam! Also, if you order the flight you get to collect a free glass cup to take home which is super chill. I think my favorite part of this place is the outdoor seating and lights it's so cozy, and there's a fountain stream too! Oh, also I recommend trying the pineapple cream soda it's so different from anything I've tried other places.

    Live music!

    Absolutely amazing. Love the life music, and the bartenders are very kind and personable! 10/10 would recommend!

    Sangria spritzer
    Julie T.

    My husband and I, and friends of ours, enjoyed a delicious lunch on the patio today after hiking in Alpine. Our server was great, though I didn't catch her name. The donut burger and Thai chicken salad were both delicious! The salad was perfectly dressed, and a great mix of flavors. I would love to re-create it at home. I thoroughly enjoyed the sangria spritzer, and I'm glad that our server shared this is readily available in the North Park location as well, as we live in South Park. We will definitely be back!

    My search for great food continues in this town. Still haven't found a place that knocks it out of the park. Outside was nice but service was pedestrian at best. Our server forgot a request for salt and pepper which should be on the table to start. My wife got a garden salad which was served in a metal tray. Not sure who thought that was a good idea but it was really not appetizing. I had some wings which were fairly uninspired. Not crispy and not especially yummy. Great beer though.

    Spicy Meat Pizza
    Becky L.

    Nestled in a business park in Alpine is another Mike Hess Brewery.. but this location had food and a relaxing outdoor ambiance. I can only compare this to their North Park location. With plenty of outdoor seating and a small grass area for corn hole or to let the kids run around, this is definitely a family spot you can come to and enjoy San Diego's good weather. The kitchen is primarily Burgers, Pizza, and Salad. We got the spicy meat pizza and the guajillo honey chicken wings, with a side of regular fries. The pizza was delicious, with the right amount of spice. I'd say a 14" is good to split with 2 people. The wings were similar to a BBQ, with additional layers of spice and flavor. They were served with a home made ranch and blue cheese. The side fries were thick cut and lightly seasoned, the only miss for me was the homemade ketchup. I ended up using the ranch instead. The meals were pleasantly washed down with cold beer - they have a wide variety, even two non-alcoholic kinds that were almost too real!

    First time at Jays Southern Café and wow... what an experience! Vi was a whole vibe--super sweet,…read morefriendly, and really helped my hubby and me decide on what to order since it was our first visit. She made us feel right at home. Now let's talk food... the brisket was out of this world! Tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of smokiness. Paired with the coleslaw (so fresh and delicious) and their BBQ sauce that was sweet but not overpowering, the whole combo was dynamite. I even had to snap a "before" pic of the plate--and let's just say the "after" pic didn't survive because it was THAT good! They were out of dessert during our visit, but I'll definitely be back to try that cinnamon and lemon pound cake that customers around us were raving about. Big shoutout to Vi and to Penelope (I believe she was the cook that day) for serving up not just a meal, but an experience. The layout was super cool and very clean. I never knew this place was in Alpine but I found my new barbecue spot. Definitely come and support as they are a hidden gem We'll 100% be back soon--thanks again for the warm hospitality and amazing food!

I didn't have to wait. Thank you!! Whenever you're in the area, you have to stop by to eat some delicious authentic Southern food and support a local family-owned business.

When this Jack in the Box first opened, it was honestly a five star experience. Unfortunately, over time I've seen a noticeable decline, mainly in cleanliness and a bit in customer service. The last 4/5 times I've chosen to eat inside, every single table has been dirty. I've had to grab napkins and water from the bathroom just to clean my own table before sitting down. The windows are covered in greasy fingerprints, clearly from little kids, and the floors under the booths are visibly filthy. This is not a one time issue, it has been consistent over multiple visits. To be fair, I have not experienced the order issues that other reviewers mention. My food has always been correct, and the food still tastes good for fast food, especially for takeout. I will continue to come back because I do like the food and want to support this location. That said, cleanliness really matters to me, and customers should not have to clean their own tables. I truly hope management sees the feedback and makes improvements, because this place has the potential to get back to the great experience it had when it first opened.

    Had such a great dinner tonight at Mediterraneo in Alpine!…read more We started with a few appetizers and honestly...they were the highlight. The MELENZANE RIPIENE (eggplant stuffed with ricotta, parmesan, and cherry tomatoes) was incredible: rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The calamari fritti was crispy and delicious, and the TONNO ASIATICO (seared ahi tuna with sweet chili glaze, ginger, teriyaki, and wasabi) was a huge hit at the table. We also had to try their house-made mozzarella sticks, don't skip these...the cheese pull alone is worth it For the mains, we had the CAPELLINI ALLA CHECCA and the RIGATONI ALLA NORMA, and both were fantastic. You can really taste the difference, the pasta is imported from Italy, and it shows in the texture and flavor. My husband also ordered the margherita pizza and said it's the best he's ever had, which says a lot! The space itself is big, welcoming, and super versatile. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, plus a large bar with a full menu. We tried a couple drinks from their spring menu: the pistachio espresso martini and the berry margarita both were so fun and tasty. The staff was also incredibly friendly and attentive, which really made the whole experience even better. Bonus: they have a great family-friendly area with arcade games and a pool table, which makes it perfect whether you're going out as a couple or with a group. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!
