Typically people think burgers are more of a heavier meal but everyone felt so great afterwards! Very fresh ingredients and it showed. Exceptional service as well and this time we ate outside in the patio which was nice. Only thing was that there were a lot of flies back there so maybe that's something to improve upon/ try to maintain

A very unique location off Rose and E Valley Parkway. Almost like a hole in the wall (well, it kind…read moreof is) with authentic smashed burgers. A counter for eating (and an outside patio) you can watch the action in the kitchen. It does get pretty warm. Burger flavor are balanced and charred perfectly. Potato fries fried in beef tallow don't quite get the crispy skin. The toppings are good though. The original sauce is delicious. I used the Self Order Kiosk which is easy to use. Very simple setup where you grab your own utensils. They call your name to pickup your order. Menu has suggested styled smashed burgers, however, you can also create your own style. Good combinations.

Great burger! I don't usually come out to Esco, but this is…read morea great burger place, so I may have to make an exception! Today, we ordered the classic lunch combo burger with fries-delicious and does not taste like freezer burn!!! There is a choice of not just beef, but also impossible, gluten free, and grass fed meats. All burgers are cooked to medium unless you specify otherwise. Easy to order-just go to the counter and order, pick a seat and wait for your meal. The interior dining area has plenty of seating and restrooms in the back. The outdoor patio looks nice enough for when it's a nice cool night, it is covered as well. Anyway, we'll be back since the menu looks super inviting because there are other choices besides burgers and the best thing is that they use a lot of local, fresh ingredients! Support your local eateries!

This is a solid burger place! They have a variety of burgers and I like how you can get a 3 slider…read moresampler to try different ones. They have a good selection of beer, milkshakes, and drinks. You order at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. It's hard to find a burger place with all my favorites: an egg, bacon, and avocado. The bacon was crispy, the egg was medium and wasn't too runny, and the brioche bread was a little sweet and fluffy. They use angus beef for their patties. You can also split your fries which I love! I got to try the onion rings and sweet potato fries. I wish the sweet potato fries were crispy. They were more on the soggy side. The onion rings batter was a lil thicker than I like. The batter overpowered the onion. We also got the Cajun wings to try which was nice and crispy! They give you a few sauces on the side so you can dip it. I got the ranch which was so good with the wings, fries and burger. The milkshakes are pretty delicious! We got the classic vanilla one. It was a pretty thick shake so you know they use legit ice cream! I also liked the peach lemonade. I would check this place out if you're in the area!

My visit to George's Burgers started off disappointing when we arrived shortly after 10am and…read moreimmediately noticed a strange smell inside the nearly empty restaurant. There was only one cook and one cashier, and although the cashier was somewhat friendly, her attitude and expressions made the interaction feel uncomfortable. The food took a while to come out, the restroom was dirty with a strong odor, and the burgers tasted unfresh while the fries were just okay and the zucchini had a strange flavor. The chili cheese fries were especially bad, the chili tasted burnt, and after only a couple small bites we couldn't eat them. When I asked for a refund on the chili cheese fries, the cashier hesitated because we had taken a few tiny bites, and although the cook eventually approved it, the poor customer service and low food quality, we will never return here again.

It's been awhile since I've been and wanted to check them out. The menu has definitely expanded from Greek options to burgers, wings and pizza. It was slow and short staffed, one gal at the register and one cook in the back but it wasn't too busy for a quick lunch break run. Food was good, but it's definitely fluffed up by a lot of shredded lettuce, but a decently cooked burger. The fries were good, but I didn't notice too much of a different in the size of a small vs regular fry either.

This is how you do it folks!…read more Been here three times and we've had different dishes every time and so far everything is delicious. Service is on point, like I said I've been here three times in probably 5 months and the crazy thing is on both return trips the guy recognized me like this is the epitome of mom & pop business right here. You feel seen and you realize the money your paying for your delicious food is going to real folks and not some corporate overlord nonsense. The vibe of the place is an industrial-esque sports bar the style that was super popular during the hipster face of restauranteering where everyone was going for the stripped down minimalist aesthetic but for this place it works. They have high seats, low seats and a couple TVs playing live sports with no real obstructions. We always come at off peak hours so I'm not sure how packed it would get but this seems like a good place to catch a PPV fight or something IF they don't pack everyone in like sardines. The food, jeez I should have probably made this the start of the review the food is decadent. EVERY dish we've tried has been packed with flavor, healthy portions, and fair prices. I recommend anything on the menu but if you want to get out of your comfort zone get the balkan fries, they're so good you won't regret it! This is the kind of place you want to see in business the people rock, the food is great, and you feel like part of the community patronizing here.

Staff is attentive and seem like they really care about people having a fun, chill time. Always clean. Dog friendly and they have a cool patio in the back that has been used at times for events. The burgers are smaller than some other places but they come with fries which fill you up leaving you very satisfied with the quality of the meal. Highly recommend :)

First time here for Trivia night! Brewery pub feel. They also have retail (sweatshirts, t-shirts,…read morehats etc) love the cute pins too! Skateboards. They have tables and bar stools etc. Mixed seating. They have a selection of brews, I tried a seltzer because I don't drink beer. The kitchen closes early, last call is around 8pm.

They have free parking, which is a bonus. They are located in Escondido, San Diego. Sunset Trivia night on 7pm Thursdays! Awesome host Jason did an entertaining job.

I immediately fell in love with the place. They have lots of great beers on tap so you won't be lacking in options. Since I definitely sweated it out a lot this morning, I opted for a michelada. I also ordered ceviche, which is available on Fri and Sat and they use tilapia to make the ceviche. Service was a little slow but I wasnt in a rush, so no big deal. Food and beverage were good! I enjoyed coming here and would come back when in the area!

I have been coming to Money Pit for over 12 years now and I have nothing but great things to say…read moreabout the food. The bacon avocado cheese burger is amazing and it's been my go to for years with the zucchini fries. I've had many zucchini fries from many other restaurants and they by far have the best. The ranch from here is top tier as well, so it makes it all the better. This is where the 3 star review comes in. My family loves to come here after the beach on our way home, as it has become a tradition at this point. Part of this tradition is eating inside because the decor and vibes are awesome. I love movies and so this place has always been a favorite as it comes to the theme. They close at 9:00pm and they won't let you sit inside if it's closed to 8:30pm and sometimes, like tonight we got here before 8:30pm. The young kids they have working here want to get out of work as soon as possible so they start cleaning early and turn away people early so they don't have to stay longer to clean. This is ridiculous, as the closing time is clearly 9. They always seem so annoyed that you even walk inside in the first place, which with a family being told we can't eat here even though it's open is just insulting. Management needs to talk with their employees about this because I'm sure they aren't aware of this and they turn away business. Why wouldn't you want to eat inside at a place like this? Food is amazing, but if you want to eat inside be sure you get there an hour or even more before close!

The girl at the counter was very friendly and helped me to order. I ordered the original double combo. I filled my drink and grabbed a seat. It wasn't long before my order was ready.

I also dipped it in some sauce as it was a little dry. Otherwise, it tasted good and was a big portion. I got onion rings which I liked a lot. It was too much food so I didn't order a custard, but I definitely will try it next time. I look forward to coming back and trying different options 3.5 stars.

The fries are like horseshoe style, which I could live without no meat to bite down Into. But the onion rings were great. Crispy. And the batter was light and air and didn't completely disintegrate when bent or bit ( I will say that with my burger they only gave 7 rings and was told the next size up would be double so like 14 rings) they were delicious. They are also giving a single serving custard, vanilla with sprinkles or chocolate with chocolate chips, with their kids meal in lieu of a toy. Service: friendly quick service and personable. Take away: I would definitely come back opt for the triple and double up on the rings and leave with a concrete which they will prepare at the end of your meal.
