These burgers are expensive, but three of us all agreed they were very good and the fries were also top notch. The buns, the cooking, the quality were all dialed in. Thru the custom lemonades, too! read more

Showed up at 7:10 to order a burger to go and was rudely told they are closed and the hours are posted on the door. I've never encountered a burger joint that closes at 7...my bad! Isn't that dinner time? Oh well, at least in-n-out was open. Management obviously made a calculated decision, hope it works for them. They should address the attitudes though. read more

Area is nice, the restaurant is clean and trendy, the service was good too. I had the classic burger and it was ok. I came with 7 people and 3/7 said it was ok. The 4 said they loved it. Their burgers are fresh and taste healthy. I'd say they are pretty bland for their high price. I enjoyed their fries and loved their chocolate milkshake. I'd come back if I had to. read more

Rude staff, dirty tables, bonkers prices. Dry, overcooked patty. Tasteless fish. Cardboard chicken. Nice homemade ranch dressing. Was it just an off day? Bad enough to make me not come back, but apparently appealing to others because it was also total chaos trying to order or get your food. read more

Best burgers I've ever had. We ordered 4 different burgers, and a side of fries passing through El Cajon to LA. We all split and tasted all the burgers. Each one was better than the last one. This knocks any in and out or fast food burger out of the waster. If we go back down to San Diego we WILL be coming back. Burgers are super expensive tho. Spent around $46 for 4 burgers and one order of fries. If you have the time and money definitely go there. read more

The burgers were just eh. Nothing special. The onions rings are dipped in cheese stick style breading. The cups we got were dirty twice and the bathrooms were disgusting. The fries were pretty good. read more

I really think this place is closer to a 4. It's mostly because of the level of cleanliness and friendly service I received. I mean even the bathroom was extremely clean. My fiends had the burgers. Juicy and tasty is the the description of choice. I chose the garden salad with Cod. I was impressed with the level of cook on the Cod and juiciness of the fish. But the salad itself was just OK. Nothing to really complain about, just nothing that set it apart. I'll be back for sure, next time burgers up! read more

Just before dining at one of the neighboring restaurants, my girlfriend had noticed one establishment that caught her eye. With us traveling between Los Angeles and San Diego every month, we were always in an adventure to find some new places to check off on our Yelp Bookmarks. With healthy eating on top of our list, my girlfriend wanted to try out Burger Lounge in Del Mar. Located in the Flower Hill Promenade just a block east off of the I-5 Freeway exit at Via De La Valle, you will find the trendy, Burger Lounge. There is plenty of parking and there is an added parking garage. So, NO EXCUSES to not try Burger Lounge. As you walk towards Burger Lounge, you'll have two places to dine at: Patio and inside. The main dining area is a little small, but there a few tables that can fit a family. At first, I wasn't sure if I was ordering drinks or doing something else. Oh right, I was ordering food. At our last visit in the area, my girlfriend took a Burger Lounge menu. I was already intrigued with their burgers. Normally, I would choose a salad at healthy burger locations. Instead, I had my set my heart on a certain burger. If Burger Lounge had BBQ Chicken Salad, Burger Lounge will be PERFECT! Before we ordered, my girlfriend noticed a glass case of....**Drum Roll Please**: "Hostess Style" Lounge Dongs. Of course, she had to try it out. My girlfriend ordered the Turkey Burger ($7.95) with a side of French Fries ($3.49) and a homemade fountain drink of Shirley Temple ($2.49). I ordered the Organic Quinoa Veggie Burger ($7.95) with Onion Rings ($4.49). Of course, she ordered "Hostess Style" Lounge Dongs ($2.95). The wait for our order would be about 10-15 minutes. As we sat down, I noticed that the tables were very smooth. I am not sure if it was marble or some sort of hybrid glass-marble. I loved the table. A staff member brought us our food and the food was presented in its highest class as it could be. My Organic Quinoa Veggie Burger looked so delicious that I know that before I could eat it, I knew it was going to disappear before my eyes. The Onion Rings were served in a little paper bag. If Onion Rings had their own bag, it would look like this. Standing Tall!. I took one bite of the Organic Quinoa Veggie Burger and it was heaven's delight. You can taste right away the the quinoa. As you take your first bite, you'll notice that the interior of the patty is green. It was crunchy and delicious. I believe it may have been the zucchini and rice that was mushed in together. With the white cheese and grilled onions, both melting and sizzling in the same burger. Sometimes I wonder what other healthy burgers I have been missing in my life. As for my girlfriend's Turkey Burger, I did have a concern with her order. She noticed pink liquid oozing out of her Turkey Burger. We weren't sure if it was blood. We notified the staff and told us that it was natural. I am not so sure of it. They told her it was cooked well-done. I do hope they were correct. At the end, the staff brought over the "Hostess Style" Lounge Dongs. I thought it was going to be served just as is. I thought wrong, It would be served masterfully on a dish with whip cream. Say what?! Perhaps, I might do that at home some day. I am not sure if it was homemade, but it sure was delicious. My girlfriend loved it and I enjoyed the whip cream. Actually, on second thought, I will try it at home soon. They made something simple so marvelously GRAND! My girlfriend found a great place and I love her for it. I haven't had burgers in a long time, but if I did, it would be just like how Burger Lounge serves it. If only the big chains could just follow suit. Quinoa Burgers...Who knew that it could be that delicious. I think I saved a lot of chickens by devouring this grain. So...looking forward to coming back.

Soo good! Best turkey burger I've ever had, hands down. The onion rings were really good, too. Super friendly and attentive service and warm outdoor heaters, which I always appreciate! :) read more

This reviews isn't about the Burgers,, it tasted pretty good. it's the customer service, so yes i'm short guy 5'2 and i have bad handwriting from a small stroke i had a couple of years ago so when asked to sign the receipt i had no idea that i would be the object for your clerks to call me names and make fun of how i signed the receipt. I walked out and sat in the patio area. only to overhear look at that guy did you see how he signed the check, i thing he's retarded, what an idiot. so i thought ok it's some kids no big deal. but as i was leaving i overheard look there he goes, what an idiot. I was the only person leaving the patio. Ok i'm a short guy with bad handwriting. why treat me like dirt, if this is what you call customer service i'll pass and i'm sure i'm not the only one this has happened to. excellent burger, but after this i will never come back. read more

Burger Lounge is good premium fast food. I have been planning to try them for some time and finally made it for lunch today. The customer service was first class! While ordering at the counter, the conversation was friendly, encouraging, courteous and authentic. I love the authentic part. So many places that have good service, the interaction comes off feeling scripted and it is nice to instead walk away feeling like you just met someone who is genuinely nice. When my food arrived, I was offered to fetch some ranch for my onion rings which I accepted. Later in the meal, the runner also offered to get me a refill of my water. Perfect at every point. The decor is bright and upbeat. I sat inside since it was a bit cool but they have a large comfortable looking outdoor patio which seemed worthy of taking advantage on a warmer day. The food was clearly made with good quality fresh ingredients. Preparation was also right on the mark. Unfortunately, both the burger and the onion rings had elements that didn't match my tastes. I did not like the style of breading on the onion rings or one of the flavors in the sauce on the burger. With that said, both were good but not home runs for me. Next visit, I'll probably go with fries and leave off the house sauce... read more

Absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, the grass fed, organic, awesomeness Burger Lounge delivers EVERY TIME!!! Oww! I alway order the vegetarian quinoa burger, and let me tell you... It is to die for. The veggie quinoa burger is huge. For those of you who think veggie quinoa sounds like it's not filling, you're very, very wrong. It's a good "filling you up" kind of feeling... because you're not left feeling so guilty for eating so much good stuff! (Btw I do realize my burger of choice isn't grass fed, or fed anything for that matter, lol) And the staff is awesome, everyone is sweet & genuinely helpful. It's all a totally great bang for your buck. So for the record, this is a great spot for lunch, or pick up, as I generally do. :) So head on over and get a little healthy in ya! You'll be supporting safe & humane cattle farming. XO read more

Super fresh, super friendly in a modern decor with patio seating and heating lamps in a semi crowded parking lot. As for the food, no need for introductions on their grass fed beef that is simple, yet super delicious. The fries with onion rings (though I think it was quite expensive) are really good. 4 onion rings on top, fries in the middle, and 4 more onion rings on the bottom. I really love that they clean the tables here periodically. Actually sometimes too much. We've seen 2 different people cleaning the same table. Yes, a person came to clean the table next to us, that has already been cleaned. Not kidding! Shared bathoom is super clean. I did wish that I ended up trying the chicken strips with fries instead. The table next to us got them and it looks amazing! I like traveling south so this is the closest location to us. I hope Irvine will be open soon! read more

Was craving a burger so we popped on over to grab one here. I thought they always had Bison but I guess it is seasonal. My guy had a traditional burger and it was good, juicy with all the fixings. I ordered the chicken burger. It is supposed to be pan fried but I asked them to broil it and they were happy to. It was a jalapeno chicken something and was tasty. I also was craving one onion ring, so they happily gave us a sample order of a few onion rings and a few fries which was so sweet. Hit the spot. Great front patio in Flower Hill Mall. read more

Burger Lounge - Chix burger - Burgers Near Me - Del Mar, California

First time at this location, but not my first time at a Burger Lounge. This particular BL is located in a small strip mall that underwent a pretty major makeover a few years ago and now with more high end shops and eateries. For as much as there is in this little strip mall, there never seems to be a problem with parking. I normally get the "classic burger" but they are doing a double burger they call "The Husky" so I opted for that today along with a regular side of onion rings. They have indoor and outdoor seating and although it was a perfect 75 degrees this evening, I ate indoor. To drink I had a black iced tea and they make is fresh brewed! It wasn't long before my burger and onion rings were brought to my table on a nice white serving plate accompanied with knife, fork and condiments for the onion rings. The Husky burger consists of two fresh beef patties cooked probably about medium rare which was perfect and both patties were covered in a generous amount of cheddar cheese. The burger comes with tomato, onion, lettuce and topped with 1000 island dressing. The lettuce was fresh but the slices of tomato were not quite ripe and lacked any flavor of a typical tomato. They put a full slice of onion on the burger instead of a few rings from a sliced onion. The onion was too much and overwhelmed the taste of the burger. Ultimately I removed most of the onion except for a ring or two. And they use a white onion which is probably the worst tasting for a burger. They should use a red onion or at the very least a golden onion but never a white onion. And for some reason, they did not put the 1000 island dressing on my burger so I had a dry burger. The onion rings were okay. They actually tasted better by themselves instead of dipping them into any sauce. They were freshly cut, battered and fried but compared to onion rings from other restaurants, these were just average. My bigger disappointment from this restaurant comes from the customer service. When I arrived, the line was too the door. Granted, it is a small restaurant but there was only one person at the register. This wouldn't be worth mentioning, however, it was a Friday evening at 5pm. On one side of the restaurant is the Del Mar Fair and the other side was a huge Lacrosse Tournament going on. It is summer time and you would think places like this would plan accordingly to accommodate dinner crowds particularly given their proximity to all that is going on. And what was more bothersome is the fact that I counted no less than 8 people behind the counter and that's not counting the cooks. I heard one of the employees talk about what she did Thursday night. Again, I did not have to wait long for my food; they refilled my drink when it was low and they brought out my food to my table. But if you have that many people just standing around talking about last night, possibly you could open another register? Last, I was at the table by the windows because all other tables were full. The sun shines in through that window and the glass amplifies the heat from the sun making it almost unbearable. Possibly you could invest in some inexpensive shades that could be lowered during sunset? I had my back to the windows but for the person sitting facing me they were basically blinded. Over, okay burger but not sure if I would go back when there are other choices and customer service is better. read more

Burger Lounge - Husky Burger with Onion Rings - Burgers Near Me - Del Mar, California

I am not a gourmet burger type of person. I love In-N-Out and Hodad's. I think the best burgers in the world are in the $5 or less range, so this is not really my type of place. Nevertheless, I came with a friend because I wanted to give it a try. I saw that they had a new item on the menu - the seared albacore sandwich and ordered it because I love fish. Great choice. Great texture, a really yummy pesto and tomato sauce on there, so delicious that I ate the whole thing, plus fries and onion rings, even though that was definitely way too much food. read more

Burger Lounge is one of my favorite So Cal burger chains. Excellent food and service every time. Great menu for veggie and meat eaters alike, nice space, clean, spacious, all around great. I always get the veggie burger and veggie salad and love them both every time. The guys get lounge burgers and are always happy as well. Fries are great, onion rings ok but a bit like the ones at Burger King, so I pass on them. Fair prices and nice portions, always a great meal! read more

3.75 stars Haven't had a burger in years, didn't have high expectations as I am not a burger fan. Then our food arrived..... LOVE the Onion Rings and French Fries! They were light, not too salty and perfect with Buttermilk Ranch and Ketchup. Fresh Vegetable Salad was good but the beef patty was thin and overcooked. Really like their better burger concept serving Grass-Fed Beef with vegetarian and gluten free options. Will try Paleo Lounge with bacon and jalapeño next time! read more

Stopped into this place for the first time right around lunch time and the line was going out the door! Two cashiers working at the time so the line was smooth and quick. I ordered the Husky Burger , it took a while to receive it but it was well worth the wait. My double burger was cooked EXACTLY as I requested and I was full and satisfied after finishing it. It was much better than a B.J's burger or any other chain burgers. I most definitely will be back. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very friendly. Definitely worth a 6 star yelp review!!! Is that such a thing...no? Well it should be, great job Burger Lounge!! read more

What would happen if In-N-Out and Tender Greens had a baby?....they would produce Burger Lounge. This restaurant is an upscale burger place that prides themselves in having organic and grass freed products which go into their food. They recently started offering nitrate free bacon. If you do not eat beef like a lot of my fitness they also serve a turkey and veggie burger. Chicken strips are available for kids of all ages and beautiful salads for the figure conscious. The fries and onion rings are very properly fried. Don't forget to ask for the house made BBQ Sauce and Ranch. They also serve natural sodas and milkshakes. If you need a great burger swing bye they have multiple locations around San Diego County. read more

Burger Lounge - Burgers Near Me - Del Mar, California

Burger lounge has always been one of my favorite burger spots, and I love the fact that this is so close to work! The walking distance is perfect literally only 30 seconds away. The burgers are grass fed and are always so juicy and tasty! The fries have the perfect balance of saltiness to them. But by far... My favorite is the chicken digglers. I was really hesitant to try them, but ever since I've been ADDICTED! I get them all the time I don't even remember what the lounge burgers taste like now! The chicken digglers come with a chile lime sauce and a jicama/carrot slaw that really helps balance the sauce. It's not spicy which is nice but I always ask for extra chile lime and ranch! The customer service is phenomenal here which is great bc it keeps me coming back! Macarena and Hannah are such a joy to be around and make my visit during my lunch break more enjoyable! read more

Burger Lounge - Chicken digglers! I didn't get the jicama slaw today tho but my faves!!! - Burgers Near Me - Del Mar, California

An absolute junk. Meat wasn't cooked properly. Who ever cooked it didn't even bother to clean the grill first. The patty had a lot of burned grease on it. Threw it away just after a few bites. read more

I have been here many times but finally got around to writing a review for it. My boyfriend and I decided to have dinner here last night. We came around 7:45pm so there was plenty of seating. FOOD - He got the lounge burger and I got the little lounge. Little lounge is perfect for me since I do not want to overdue it. We both got the organic cheddar with the burger and it was perfectly melted on the patty. We also got the half and half to share. I am a huge French fries person and could have probably eaten the whole thing but good thing we shared [: SERVICE - We always had great service here. Yesterday in particular, there was an older gentleman who brought our food and refilled our water. He was SO NICE. He would make eye contact with you, smile, and was genuinely friendly. I wish I asked for his name so I can write it here and let him know how great he was. PARKING - It is in a shopping center so parking is relatively easy unless you come during peak hours (lunch & dinner). We have been on a burger, burrito, and fish taco hunt. For burgers, I would say this is one of my favorites spots being that I have lived in SD all my life. read more

Came across the Burger Lounge in Del Mar when I stopped for gas at the Chevron across the street. The burgers are good, onion rings are good, and I like the ketchup. They have crafted sodas which are tasty as well. They market grass fed beef, organic ketchup, and all those other good eating marketing keywords. I would recommend a try if you like a good burger and stuff. They also have a fish sandwich, boar burger, and salads. It does get a little busy at peak hours and finding seating might be challenging but don't let that deter you from trying the place. read more

Came here cause my gf wanted some fries and saw the half and half fries on some yelp pictures. Gave this place 5 stars because firstly, the food was great. Bacon inside the burger was crispy. Some places have the bacon soggy and chewy by the time it gets to you, not this place. Crunch Crunch Crunch. They were right about the half and half fries being good enough for 2 people. Comes with onion rings and French fries. See the pic I posted and you'll see why. Second thing was the staff. Super friendly and attentive. Waitress greeted us promptly and made sure we were taken care of until we left. Always checking if we needed more drinks or if we needed anything else such as sauces for dipping the fries. Third and last thing was the environment. Came here around 7 and it was dark out so pretty chilly. Outdoor seating has heaters everywhere. Gf wanted to sit inside until I pointed it out and now she's sitting in front of two heaters. All warm and whatnot. "This place has a special place in my heart." -GF We will be back if we are ever in the area. read more

I was in the area for a few days and decided to stop here on a whim. I'm really glad we did. It was really good. I want to start by pointing out the staff is super friendly and helpful. Excellent customer service. I had the lounge burger on recommendation from the nice lady taking orders. She said it was the most popular and now I know why. I added bacon because thats just what you do to a burger. I decided to go with grilled onions but they offer fresh onions as well. It also had lettuce, tomato and thousand island dressing. You also had the choice of chedder or american cheese. My friends and I shared and order of onion rings and fries. Both were pretty awesome. One order of their "half and half" were enough for the three of us. I also had the lavender mint lemonade. It was good but if I eat here again, I would try something different. read more

Ordering online takes way longer than it needs to at this location, around 30+ minutes from placing the order to receiving it. Staff still kicks you out if you're waiting inside for your order even though there is indoor dining right now. Overall the price is just a bit too high to justify the wait. Their fries are not worth $4.50. I ordered the half and half onion rings / fries and got only about 4 of the scrawniest onion rings I've seen in my life and the rest filled with fries, obviously not half and half. Other burger lounge locations are better in terms of speed and quality. This location is also smaller than other locations I've been to. read more

Food was greasy and bland despite the high prices. Even the bun was soaked in grease. Could do a lot better making it at home. read more

If i could rate this negative stars I would. Expensive for terrible flavor.The burger was SUPER dry especially the bread.Its very cheap I could get better buns at Costco. No flavor or seasoning on anything. Fries don't even taste fried. I thought i ordered fries shaped cart board.To make matters worse, I ordered a lemonade and they gave me lavender infused water. In what world is regular lemonade purple. DONT COME TO THIS PLACE. natural grass fed stuff should taste better than the mcdonald's across the street. read more

very consistent with the other burger lounges in SD, which means i enjoyed it! FOOD/DRINKS: Im a fan of gourmet burgers since i lived in SF for years, but this was the very first one i had in SD when i moved back 4 years ago and still come here every now and then. the bun is a huge part of making the burger, aside from the protein obviously haha, and they definitely have a quality bun. This time we ordered the Lounge burger, which is similar to The Classic but it has a choice of grilled onions, choice of cheese, no mustard, 1000 island dressing made in house, and no pickle. If you want they have an option for salads, veggie burger, turkey burger, and even kids orders. you can also have a beer, rootbeer float, or shake with your meal! PRICE: about 8 bucks for a burger that will make you feel content, not overly stuffed AMBIANCE: look and feel like the others but this one has a bigger front patio since its in Del Mar SERVICE: the dudes were all smiles and had a good convo about the random things. They bring you your food so you can grab a seat after ordering. :) read more

This joint was amazing! They were support fast and super friendly! The burgers were tasty, soda was delicious, lavender mint lemonade was refreshing, the fries... the fries were fantastic and please please get a side of ranch! Yummy! A bit pricey but would go back in a heart beat. The service was friendly and fast. A couple of servers came out (we ate outside with the heaters which kept us nice and toasty) to ask how we were and if we needed anything. Got us refills right away and gave us extra ranch. Also offered to-go drinks. My family and I LOVED IT! Glad we went and will definitely be going back! read more

Finally tried this freaking burger place! I see they have popped up everywhere, and I wanted to know what the hype was. I didn't know they served grass-fed meat, and I could definitely taste a difference. The meat was very fresh. The bun was also very soft and fluffy, and that's one of my favorite parts of a burger. Only thing I didn't like were the tomatoes. They were mushy, so I couldn't enjoy my burger as much. The tomato fell apart fairly quickly, so the burger didn't keep it's shape much. I'll probably go back and try to get a burger without mushy tomatoes... read more

Burger Lounge - Burgers Near Me - Del Mar, California

I've been here several times with family. The food is very good, and while a little bit pricey, it's worth it. The half and half, as others point out, is not a whole lot of fries and onion rings for $5+. You can't get out of here for under $10-12 per person, so it's definitely not your "cheap" burger joint. However, the burgers and veggie burgers are pretty generous-but that doesn't make up for skimping on what are very cheap ingredients-onions and potatoes. My son loves the hamburgers, and the chicken fingers are moist and tender. The whoopie pies are great for dessert. What I have noticed on more than one occasion at this location is the kitchen forgetting to put on the extras. This time, two of us ordered the veggie quinoa burger with all the extras, and they managed to forget the lettuce, tomato, and dressing. When they came around to ask if everything was fine, we asked for the lettuce and tomato, but they only brought it out for one of us! Lack of attention to detail shows a lot, and it's missing here. This is my one complaint. I would have been more vociferious, but they place was packed, we were hungry, and we just wanted to enjoy our meal. I will be back, but I will demand more! read more
