    1 star Ordered a chicken sandwich and the chicken was undercooked/raw inside. I had already eaten about half before noticing and had to spit it out. This is a serious food safety issue, not just a small mistake. Chicken should never be served like this. I've included a photo for reference. Definitely not acceptable.

    Hand can cover the burger.

    Been here before for the buffalo chicken burger. Was average. Server asked how it was and said it was okay and said we should have gotten a burger so we came back for that. And was disappointed. Hot head burger - 3/5 Average burger. Nothing stood out. Burger was only 4oz and it was very tiny. Sauce saved the burger for sure. And definitely get your own burger. Not enough to share. Basket of fries 3/5 Average fries, nothing special. Definitely recommend sharing fries instead of eating your own. Enough to share. Seating 5/5 Plenty of seating. Outdoor seating is nice and relaxing , inside seating as well. No trouble finding a seat. Overall, recommend coming to try it for yourself but prices do not reflect portion of food except the fries. But we all have a different opinion, so come and express yours.

    This food truck came by my job today. First they limited the menu down to only a few items, which was disappointing to start. Secondly, the lady taking the orders was very short with us. She wasn't rude but you could tell that she didn't want to be there. There was no human connection. My coworker wanted to the burger with no onion but no modifications were allowed. I ordered the fries and the portion was generous but the fries were just ok. Unfortunately we weren't able to try the loaded fries due to the limited menu. We were really looking forward to the experience but it didn't line up to the hype.

    My partner and I stopped by Bonehead Burgers for the second installment of our burger crawl. I'm rarely in Old Town, so it was a nice change of scenery. The restaurant has a very open layout, and on a sunny day like the one we had, it made for a great dining experience. We ordered the Hothead burger with a side of tots. The burger itself was good, but I'd say it was the toppings that really made it stand out, without them, it might have been a bit average. , The real standout, though, was the tots. Think Chick-fil-A breakfast tots, but better. Crispy, flavorful, and honestly hard to stop eating. Their signature sauce was solid and paired well with everything. If I'm in Old Town again, I wouldn't mind grabbing another burger here and of course getting a side of tots

    Perfectly crunchy.

    Yumm, great burgers and fries! My mom and I were in town and starving, and decided to try Bonehead burger because of the yelp reviews, and we were not disappointed! Great service, clean and plenty of seating!

    Just finished our meal at Bonehead Burger Co! It was excellent. We had the Bonehead burger and the Hot Head Burger. The Hot Head was amazing! Definitely the better one in our opinion- so much flavor! The Bonehead was a very classic, good cheeseburger- though not incredibly special or standout. If you're craving a good classic cheeseburger, this the one. The star of the show were the fries!!!!!! Get them!!!! Seasoned to crispy delicious perfection. Good outdoor seating with good music and vibes!

    Yum this was aGOOOOOD burger. Nice atmosphere, and friendly staff. If in Old Town give it a try! I do suggest they have cups for water though- having to buy a bottle for my 3year old granddaughter was the only disappointment.

    Really impressed with Bonehead Burger! I'd seen them around in the food trucks, and was excited to see they have a storefront! Apparently they have trivia on Tuesdays, but we didn't get to experience that. Maybe they weren't doing it this week. Their storefront is tucked away in the heart of old town and is a nice switch up from the mexican restaurants in the area. We got a regular smash burger, a plant based smash burger, fries, and happy hour beers ($5!). Everything was absolutely delicious and I appreciated how much deliciousness they put on the plant based burger (cheese, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions). Sometimes restaurants don't put as much care into the plant based options as the regular options but that's not the case here. It's definitely the best plant based burger i've had in SD. Would definitely return to this spot! Parking was also really easy on a Tuesday night.

    Happy Hour Menu (7/24/2025)

    Located inside Old Town Urban Market, Bonehead Burger has been on our list of smashburgers to try in San Diego. Street parking might be a little difficult but I parked at one of the lots around the Old Town San Diego State Historic Park for free and walked over. Happy hour is every Monday to Thursday from 4PM-8PM! There are a lot of outdoor seating and it's all covered by a roof. We went closer to sunset so we had a beautiful view and there was a nice cool breeze. Since it's part of the market, feel free to order and take your food to another area. We ordered at the front and were given table numbers to bring back. If you come on Mondays, they also have military discounts of 30%! Fries and Tots: Both come with huge portions, more than enough for a party of 4. Very crispy and not too salty. We decided to add cheese to the fries and it was good while it was melted but once it solidified, it became a pain to eat. I would just recommend ordering the regular version of either fries or tots to enjoy. Chicken Wings: Since it was happy hour, we ordered two flavors: Lemon Pepper Rub and Buffalo. Each order came with 6 chicken wings. Surprisingly, each wing was a decent size even though they were for happy hour. The meat was crispy and not dry at all. Burgers: The Kenny B Burger is a standard smashburger so it was a good baseline to compare to other smashburgers. I ordered it with a double patty and this was the perfect amount of food for me. The flavors were good and this was a very juicy but greasy burger, which I don't mind at all! But I can see people turned away because of it. The bonehead sauce is like In-n-Out's thousand island sauce and LTPO is lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion. I also got to try the Bonehead but because of the maple bacon, it was more of a sweet/savory burger and I liked the Kenny B more. Overall, I enjoyed the burger and would come back again but my friends thought the grease was too much.

    Our friend was craving burgers while she was here in town and we really wanted to show her Old Town so we were happy to find this place. The location is great. The weather outside was beautiful and we loved walking around the shops after eating here. The food itself was a lot of fun. I liked getting the taco versions of a burger and the tater tots with cheese as a side dish was so much bigger than I anticipated. Very shareable. The flavors worked well together and everything was savory. I also appreciated they had a big napkin and utensil station for us to grab what we needed. I was a little bummed they didn't have any tap water and we had to buy a bottle but other than that, full marks for a cute little place!

    During the week, we were running some errands and decided to grab dinner. Felt like a burger. Yelped around and Bonehead came up with good reviews. Food first... we got a double smash with cheese and a side of bonehead tots (flat tater tots) topped with bacon, cheese and green onions. Let's start with the burger... it was extremely dry, messy and not very flavorful. Tots were one note, globed together, it was very difficult to eat since we ordered it togo and brought it home. The tots congealed into one giant blob. But let's talk about the experience.... We came at dusk, so about 6:30 pm. They are located in Old Town at the Urban Market on Congress which has a raised deck area to order and for dining. We ordered and hubs went to use the restroom. I snapped some pics and went into the open dining deck area. While checking out the happy hour menu I immediately felt like I was getting bit. Less than a min later, I saw the hubs and told him I was getting eaten alive and heading back to the car! Thankfully we were parked just across the street but unfortunately it was not close enough! I don't know if they followed me into the car or what, but I was pretty sure I had at least a dozen bites between my legs, toes and arms by the time I got into the car! I was dying and it was horrible! I couldn't stop scratching!!! Never heard or seen them coming but my legs got destroyed! This was a horrific nightmare!!! My legs were extremely itchy for over a week! Not just any kind of itchy, it was let me scratch my legs bloody and raw kind of itchy... for almost two weeks! I had to get checked out by my doctor to make sure I was not going to get an infection from the open wounds. Was not worth it and will absolutely never go back again! NEVER AGAIN! Series: 2 2025: 59

    Thin, smashed burgers with generous side portions. It's as basic as it can get. Friendly service. TVs available for sport game days and draft beers, too. We came on a random weekday night, and they were pretty slow/empty. I would think it'd be a nice hangout spot during the day.

    The only thing good about this food truck was the French fries. The customer service from the lady was very rude! She was very dismissive.

I love that you could mix and match the chicken parts of your choice and are not just confined to 2 of the same.

The tenders were more like chicken breasts but cut into tenders. However they were still very good!! I tried the sichuan seasoning on the side and I really liked it. It reminded me of shichimi seasoning and had a mild spice. I believe you can order it spicier if you wish. As for sides, my kids got the fries and the fries were excellent.
