    Food was okay 3/5 nothing exciting here prices a bit on the higher side for the quality it didn't justify it

    Blue Cheese and Spicy Jam

    This is honestly probably our favorite burger spot in downtown Oceanside due to the food itself. The burgers are always SO GOOD! Staff is always very friendly & helpful. The inside of the place is nice and clean, however the outside can be hit or miss. It's located on a busy street which can sometimes be flooded with people. Parking is pretty bad, truly depends what day/time you come but be prepared to walk.

    Cosmo Burger. What can I say? Unexpectedly, one of the top 5 burgers in my life. After I finished I had to ask for the manager and compliment the quality of my burger. Atmosphere: 4 Stars. Kind of a trendy vibe. Service: 5 Stars for friendliness. Value: 5 Stars. More expensive than the rest but it was my day off and I wanted to treat myself to something that might be worth it. Quality: 5 Star. It feels expensive and rare but I felt like I got a burger that was worth the money I paid for it.

    My first time eating here an it was delicious. Possibly have a heart attack from the grease and cheese but definitely worth it. Came by in the afternoon and it wasn't busy. Bonus: got a window seat and people watched while eating. I ordered two Better Mac burgers, Monkey fries and two daft beers Me and a friend were having lunch Not a bad price for all of it. Burger was juicy and flavorful The fries crispy and good with bacon and cheese. Definitely nothing was disappointing If I'm in O'side again I'll be hitting this place up

    Probably one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I have had at a restaurant and this is not in comparison to like Chick-fil-A or a fast food chicken sandwich, but we're talking about a storefront that really prides itself in burgers. They are actually making an amazing crunchy perfectly sauced with pickles type of chicken sandwich that you can eat and enjoy your meal. The sauces you have a variety from their house sauce to a mustard sauce that's very specific to each of the burgers and sandwiches. I would have to just rave about the unique brioche bun that they use then the sauce that they include inside, which is a mayo type of mix with the pickles and then you have the actual dipping sauce that I don't know how I can describe so overall great place to have lunch and I would say they have a variety of sides like tater tots and french fries and onion rings my friend and I opted for the onion rings and I'm really glad I did because they were very crunchy not overcooked and it was probably not the healthiest meal, but it tasted delicious.

    Had a delicious burger and a side of loaded fries. Nothing wild, just really flavorful grub that is reliable in Oside. The staff member was very laid back and friendly when I asked for suggestions, so I took her word and it did not disappoint! I went in on a weekday for lunch, so it wasn't busy. I dig the burger decor too (Kenan and Kel shout out). Look forward to recommending this spot to locals looking for a good burger in north county.

    Cosmos Burger

    Cosmos Burger is a restaurant located in the downtown Oceanside area. There's street parking nearby. It is walkable to the beach and pier. The burgers and fries were pretty good- it's not the cheapest, but still affordable for the portion size and quality. I tried the Cosmos Burger for $13 and the Chicks fries for $12. The burger felt like a standard cheese burger, but the chicks fried is the true stand out for me - the flavors of all components married each other well, and the fries were cooked to perfection. The surrounding areas walking to the restaurant can feel sketchy. Walk with a friend, not alone. There were suspicions characters lurking around the block that called others unkind names. Overall, I recommend coming here for a quick bite when visiting Oceanside.

    Cosmos Burger ($13) - This is my new favorite North County burger spot. The Cosmos Burger is as close to a perfect burger as it gets. The two patties were perfectly grilled and so tender, flavorful, and juicy. They nailed the caramelized onions and blew me away with their Cosmos sauce, which was like an elevated In-n-Out spread with hints of garlic. Highly, highly recommend!

    Lettuce wrap kids burger (fries not gluten free)
    Annie S.

    I've come here every year since discovering this spot during my first vacation at Oceanside when they were new and just opened. Since then I have had a positive and tasty experience every time! The workers are so kind and even remembered my family just from the first time we came, they always come to check in on you and make sure you enjoy your food which shows how much effort they put into their customer service. I recently become gluten intolerant so now I'm just subject to order their gluten free burger option which is a lettuce wrap and I was worried it wouldn't be that tasty (I have to admit) but I was so fortunately wrong!!! The wrap was crispy and the burger was seasoned perfectly it was still just as delicious and as their fries weren't gluten free I did start dipping some of my lettuce into ketchup as a substitute and to be honest it was still pretty good lmao . The portions are always filling and it's one of the only spots I eat at in Oceanside despite the other spots because it never does me wrong and is so reliable, when you're done with your food make sure you go up the street to 1022 gelato to truly capture the full flavor tour downtown Oceanside has to offer some of the most authentic gelato to pair some of the most authentic burgers is a perfect pairing.

    Hot chicks sandwich

    Hands down the best spicy chicken sandwich I've ever had! Went to the San Clemente location with my mom and we were blown away! 10 out of 10! No notes! Definitely going back.

    Lorean W.

    Smash burger was delicious and good flavor and size. So many good choices and hard to choose. I tried their tots and they were the best I've had! service was great and friendly. it's right on the main street and has an open air dining area plus bar. This may become my new favorite smash burger place!!

    Bbq burger and Monkey fries.
    Mikey S.

    I had the BBQ burger. It had 2 onion rings, house made bbq sauce, bacon, and cheddar, on a brioche bun. It was absolutely delicious. All the components were perfect and the burger patties were very flavorful and juicy. The monkey fries were tasty as well, with bacon, house sauce, green onion and served with spiced sour cream. Fast service with takeout. Parking is a bit tricky, it's right on a main drag, but I would circle the block a few times, no problem, because the food was kick ass.

    Lemonade hibiscus
    Shonci H.

    We ate at Cosmo's Burger as a family. We ordered the Basic Burger, Truffle Burger, Bleu Cheese Burger, and the truffle fries. The service was great! And everything was delicious! Our daughter got the hibiscus lemonade, which she loved. The restaurant was right off the road and walking distance from all of DT Oceanside. Inside was super cute as well!

    Update: Thank you,…read morethey were very responsive and resolved the unintentional overcharge. Looking forward to supporting your business when I get a chance, thank you! I attended my nephew's family dance at his school today and purchased four 8-ounce mini water bottles. I clearly heard the staff say the total was $2 for all four bottles, but I was actually charged $2 per bottle. Charging $2 each for tiny mini water bottles is excessive and feels like taking advantage of families attending a school event. What makes it even more disappointing is that later I visited a different booth at the same event that was selling full-size 16-ounce water bottles for just $1 each. The difference in pricing was shocking and says a lot about this catering service's pricing practices. I would not recommend them based on this experience.

I looked it up and decided I needed to partake too.. It's a big open space with a lot of seating. I waited in line. There were a few people ahead of me but I placed my order for 2 dogs to go when they finished. Then I sat outside in the shade and waited and waited and waited. There were quite a few open seats outside. It was trivia night so I listened to that to pass the time. People were pretty into it. I used to play a lot at other places in the past but these questions seemed kind of hard. Finally a female server came up to me and comment on how long I had been waiting (30 minutes at this point) and said she'd check on my order. I had noticed others after me getting their orders so I'm not sure what happened. She disappeared for another 10 minutes or so but returned with my order. I appreciate her. I get that they were busy but a heads up upon ordering would be nice. I didn't order anything difficult, just two hot dogs, one plain and one with a few condiments. My hot dog was really good. I love sauerkraut and theirs is good. My friend loves his hotdogs/sausages and enjoyed his. He wants to come back now! I also had no idea how extensive their menu would be, bfast burritos, chicken, smash burgers etc. I'll come back but maybe check their calendar first so as not to have a repeat.

To my surprise Water Shack's burgers were delicious and satisfying that I find myself coming back here ever so often. Their burgers aren't the heavy, greasy/high fat patties you would get from other places. However, their 1/4 lb patties are their smallest patties and heft makes for that ideal bun to burger ratio. Did I need to order double patties on most of my burger orders? Probably not. Their patties are on the leaner side but they aren't dry; and the fixings from any burger you choose will satisfy that meaty burger fix you're looking for. The Chicken Patty Melt is also a very tasty item. Very cheesy, buttery and crispy toasted bread with chicken breast. Their fries and onion rings also come air-fried so this place focuses more on the healthier comfort food options that wont leave you feeling heavy and drowsy. This place is also doubled as a purified water dispensary and also serves baked goods and ice cream. Love this type of no-frills, unassuming place with very friendly staff and serves up some delicious food!
