    Came here to stop for a quick lunch! My husband and I are BIG fans of all things truffle, so we ordered the truffle burger and truffle honey tenders to share. To our disappointment, the truffle flavor of both items were barely there. I'd say my favorite thing from the two was the burger, which was still pretty good even though there wasn't a truffle flavor. The chicken was good but considering there's so many fried chicken places open now, this one was nowhere as good as many other options. Both items were priceyyyy for what they were as well. This store is located in Windmill Food Hall which is a cool spot! There was plenty of seating when we went on a Saturday afternoon and service was friendly. Overall, although it wasn't bad, I probably wouldn't return here in the future.

    Chicks Fries
    Maddie P.

    Not that good, Oceanside location is way better. Chicken wasn't really edible on garlic chicken sandwich. Fries sauce was too rich to enjoy, garlic burger was flavorless mainly hard stringy pieces of chicken once you bite off the breading. Unfortunate.

    Prices

    $14 for 3 chicken tenders, $7 dollar fries. Food average, nothing out of this world. Expect to wait at least 30 mins for your food. I do not

    Garlic Parm Chicken Sandwich
    William M.

    It was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had! Wow, did I really just say that? Isn't that pretty strong language for a lowly piece of fried poultry? Did I imagine it? The loud crunch, the tender meat, the flavorful crust, on a soft brioche bun with fresh lettuce, pickles and garlic parmesan mayo (sorry "aioli" is too foodie for me to say) made for an epic sandwich. Service was friendly and helpful with plenty of comfortable seating in the Windmill Food Hall. Fries very good, too.

    Britt S.

    Best burgers in the area. Son got the basic burger and fries.... I couldn't keep my hands off either. The burger was so good. Fries were better than anyone's. Everything was fresh, hot and tasty

    BBQ Burger was fantastic.  I would get this every time.

    This location is inside the Windmill food hall. The hall was absolutely bustling on the Friday night we visited. Wait time for three burgers and two orders of frings wasn't bad--maybe 10 minutes. We tried the BBQ burger, the Cosmos burger, and the Blue Cheese burger. They were all very good but the BBQ was, by far, the best. It comes with two enormous onion rings, bacon, cheese, and tangy BBQ sauce and your very best snake jaws probably cannot bite this beast. It's an outstanding burger. The Cosmos burger comes with carmelized onions and it's a solid choice. The Blue Cheese burger comes with just a hint of blue cheese and it was undetectable and a disappointment. The burger meat on all three burgers was very well seasoned and delicious. But if you're going to sell a blue cheese burger, put some blue cheese on it, guys. Blue cheese fans love the flavor of blue cheese. You get a very good portion with the frings (onion rings and fries). The onion rings are not greasy and they are very good. The fries were not seasoned and were very average. They were better than In-n-Out fries but that's not saying much. Overall, these burgers are very good. They just need to add a lot more blue cheese to the blue cheese burger and season those fries.

    Blue Cheese Burger - so good!
    Erich C.

    Ordered a Blue Cheese burger at their Windmill location, along with some tater tots and I have to say the burger was EXCELLENT. It's the "smash" burger type where the meat is flattened and charred a bit on the edges. That combined with arugula, blue cheese and I think there's sauteed onions in there that make this an outstanding burger. Tots were good too, hot & fresh. Wish there was a non $8 option. I don't need $8 worth of tots. Half portion would be nice. Granted I did ultimately see an option to add fries & a soda to your meal for $3 more (check price on that tho). Prices are high. $16 for a burger, with no fries is kinda steep but it's hella good.

    BBQ Chicken tenders
    Trevor T.

    Ordered the BBQ Chicken Tenders which is PRETTY PRICEY for delivery. $14, but with gratuity, delivery, and tax it is $18.44. The order arrived and was just bbq sauce poured over chicken strips with garnish and pickles. I do give props for the tenders being MASSIVE and filling. My wife had one and was disappointed though which was shocking because she was high as a kite. I believe I ordered wrong though because the title is Cosmos Burger and not Cosmos Chicken. Will try a burger in the future.

    Nothing says summer like hamburgers and hotdogs...but what about some of the BEST elevated BURGERS and HOTDOGS in San Diego? Handcrafted, juicy masterpieces! Quality you can taste!! Their smash burgers are a cheesy adventure you won't forget!! Their meat is never frozen and comes straight from the butcher!! Their house-made sauces ROCK!! Freshly shaved Parmigiano that's been aged for 18 months!! Their OG Hot Dog is beautifully plated and tastes just as good as they look!! So brilliant!! This is a wonderful food hall. Love the outdoor dining area! This is the spot to satisfy your cravings!! Excellent customer service! tried: The Cosmos Burger Truffle Honey Chick Sandwich The BBQ Burger The OG Hot Dog The Garlic Parm Chicken Tenders Onion Rings Monkey Fries

    The Basic Burger
    Dung N.

    Cosmos burger is located inside the Windmill in Carlsbad. For drinks, we both got a lemonade. Based on the cashier's recommendation, I ordered the garlic Parmesan and the hot chicks flavors. One of them was supposed to be tenders and the other, a sandwich. Both ended up being tenders, but it was alright. The lemonade was refreshing and tart. The tenders were delicious. We also ordered the artisan hot dog, which came with a brioche bun. It was pretty good! Hubby also got a spicy jam smash burger. He said it was so yummy that I needed to get my own LOL. I ended getting the basic burger and the frings to share. These burgers are so great- so flavorful and juicy!

    Eating area, forgot to take a pic of my food!

    The truffle burger was a winner with my son and I appreciated the variety of choices! This was located in the Windmill food court, formerly a Pea soup Andersons! Windmill still there. Really liked the back seating area that was styled like a library. I just had the kids burger and fries as I wasn't that hungry. Nothing terrible or terrific, just decent. Food came out fairly quickly

    Hot Chicks Sandwich
    Kaitlyn W.

    This place is awesome. We tried the Hot Chicks chicken sandwich and the Cosmos fries and both were delicious! Although not really comparable to a nashville hot chicken sandwich, the Hot Chicks was flavorful in a different way - the herb aioli was super creamy and made the whole sandwich come together. The fries were perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the onions and the savoriness of the cheese fries. On top of that, the service was quick and friendly. I will definitely be coming back to try their burgers and other chicken sandwiches!

Parking can be a little tricky since the lot is small and usually pretty full, so you either have to get lucky or street park farther down and walk over. The line can get long too, but this time we waited about 30 to 40 minutes total from getting in line to receiving our food, which felt pretty reasonable considering how busy they were. The staff was also friendly and welcoming throughout. On our first visit, we got the Tanner Prime Burger with a single patty and left wishing we had tried the double. This time we finally did, and it completely changed the experience. They definitely don't skimp on the meat, and the double patty makes the burger significantly heavier and much more filling. I still enjoyed it, but personally, I actually preferred the balance of the single patty and will probably go back to that next time. The Tallow Fries were also great, with a really flavorful, crispy texture. I may have gotten a little ahead of myself with the double patty this time, but Tanner's is still a spot I really enjoy and look forward to coming back to.

Our party of three were immediately greeting with a smiling young gentleman standing behind the register. At first glace, the restaurant was massive is size, very spacious, modern, and 100% well kept/tidy. Seating and decor was simple enough but still had a classiness to it. We placed our order with the smiling gentleman [whom I learned was ANDREW].

The order was made beautifully- presented well and cooked flawlessly. A+ for taste and presentation, which I totally didn't expect. Brioche buns were fluffy yet charred just enough on the grill to house all of the ingredients. The patties were flavorful and juicy. The goodness didn't stop there- BD mentioned Burger Lounge's onion rings being the BEST he's ever had!! Quality is absolutely undeniable. Above all, this burger joint runs smoothly thanks to the incredible staff. Each and every person we encountered was kind, polite, and so very eager to help with whatever requests. The only complaint I had was the terrible internet connection. Come here expecting to put your phones/tablets down even if you don't want to. LMAO. 5/5 stars but I'd easily give them so much more.

Their signature burger is the MDC which consists of a Double Certified Angus Beef, American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, MOOYAH Sauce on a Signature Potato Bun. This burger was perfect, two good sized beef patties cooked to perfection, melted cheese and just enough sauce to not overtake all the goodness. The bun really stood out as MOOYAH uses a potato bun and it was really fresh and buttery. I think the bun is a difference maker in terms standing out from other burgers I have had in the past. With a combo you get a generous portion of fries which were decent as well as a refillable soda cup. This combo meal got me stuffed and the value was spot on. Definitely put MOOYAH on your hamburger destination list as you will not be disappointed with its vast menu of burger options. Fun fact about Mooyah is that they started in Texas and this Carlsbad location is the first in California as part of the westward expansion.
