Most definitely recommend Cosmos. We ordered the (3) basic burgers, one with tater tots, the other with onion rings and another with regular fries. It was so delicious, mouth watery. Customer service is 1000000% amazing, Kaitlyn is super sweet, the establishment is super clean and inviting. read more

Came tonight and brought some friends and my son, who missed it the first time we visited. Ordered the Truffle burger (Truffle aioli, caramelized onion, Cheddar cheese, pickles, and 6 oz Cosmos patty with brioche bun), Blue cheese (Herb aioli, caramelized onion, arugula, blue cheese, pickles, and 6 oz Cosmos patty with brioche bun), Better Mac (Think Big Mac...Better Mac sauce, onion, lettuce, Cheddar cheese, pickles, and 6 oz Cosmos patty with brioche bun), Garlic Parm sandwich (Herb aioli, pickles, lettuce, and 2 pieces garlic parm HUGE chicken tenders with brioche bun), and the Hot Chicks sandwich (Herb aioli, pickles, coleslaw, Cheddar cheese, and 2 HUGE pieces spicy tenders with brioche bun), truffle fries were crispy and seasoned well, and tator tots were perfectly crunchy outside and soft inside. The burgers were phenomenal! The blue cheese was sooo good! The truffle burger was incredible! I thought the Better Mac would have been my favorite, and it was still good, but surprisingly, it wasn't my fave over the three. The chicken sandwiches are HUGE but I wished the tenders were tossed in the sauce/seasoning. They add the garlic parm on top of the tenders as they're assembled on top of the bun, so it doesn't completely coat the tender. IMO, it would be more flavorful tossed. However, the aioli sauces are just so delicious and to kill for! Even though this is also a smash burger leave, their burgers aren't thin and had a lot of bite to them! They're so worth it and hands down much better than across the street! read more

2nd time having cosmos counting this evening. A little behind on food reviews but here goes cosmos. This evening was pretty packed with about 20 patrons. We ordered a spicy jam burger,better mac and some truffle fries. Everything came out in a decent time even with many other orders before ours. The better mac named after the (Big Mac) was just that. Similar to the Big Mac just way better. King Mac.The star of the show this evening was the spicy jam burger. Soon as you take a bite you get a sweet and savory taste then 15 seconds later or so the spice comes kicking in and kicking in pretty hard. It's a tasty and interesting burger as I have had nothing like it. Wouldn't recommend if your spice level isn't decently high. The truffle fries are also top notch but eat them quick as they seem to cool rapidly. Our previous visit we had the blue cheese burger. Again another exceptional and tasty burger. We talked with the manager and he was explaining how the recipes are all made from scratch while using the highest quality of ingredients. Great Quality burgers. Definitely give them a try. read more

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. read more

Cosmos Burger - Blue Cheese and Spicy Jam - Burgers Near Me - Oceanside, California

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. read more

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 read more

Cosmos Burger - Monkey Fries - Burgers Near Me - Oceanside, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The Better Mac sauce is in fact better than McDonalds, although it's not space themed like it said it was. I would like to come back!

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! read more

Cosmos Burger - Cosmos Burger - Burgers Near Me - Oceanside, California

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. read more

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. read more

We've heard multiple reports that Cosmos has the best burger in San Diego and had to check it out for ourselves. There are two locations but we wanted to visit the Oceanside location since I was wary of the quality of the Carlsbad food court location. We arrived late in the afternoon on a Saturday and managed to snag street parking right in front of the restaurant. They don't have a dedicated lot so you might have to circle around the block during peak hours. The restaurant itself is kind of small with a handful of tables and counter seats. I like that the windows all have high-top tables and you could people watch while eating. We ordered a lot for two people to try as much as we could. The food came out really fast but I wonder if that's the norm or if it was just because we were the only customers. Everything is brought out to your table and on pretty aesthetic-looking plates so the vibes felt a little classier than a fast food restaurant. Tater Tots and Truffle Fries: Both come with a decent amount and are great shareable sides. These came out crispy and the truffle smelled so good. On the menu, they only advertise truffle for the fries but I saw another group get truffle tots and I would've ordered that if I had known. Truffle Honey Chicken Tenders: Comes with 3 pieces and wow! These were some of the crispiest tenders I've had, even though they were covered in the sticky, honey sauce. And even though it was white meat, there was not a single tender that was dry. Highly recommend! Cosmos Burger: Toasted buns, double smashed patties with crispy edges...everything you'd expect from a high-quality smashburger. I thought their cosmos sauce was a little salty and it kind of made a mess but overall, it was a good burger. Although not my favorite smashburger in SD, it's definitely in my top 3. It's also nice that they offer more than just burgers for people craving anything else. read more

For my taste, this is the best burger in Oceanside. I mentioned this to the counter person once, and he pointed to a certificate hanging on the wall indicating that they apparently received an award for...best burger in San Diego. I love the juicy, flavorful, beefy smashburgers at Cosmos. So far I've had the BBQ Burger, the Blue Cheese Burger, and the Spicy Jam Burger--and loved them all. Absolutely delicious. Great sauces and ingredients (like microgreens) that bring a delightful balance of flavors. I've brought friends with me several times, building Cosmos up as the best burger in town, and though skeptical coming in none argued with me afterwards. They tend to also appreciate that Handel's ice-cream is just a few doors down for after. I've also enjoyed the onion rings and Cosmos fries. I'd rate them just delicious; while they don't stand out as much as those burgers, they're good and I'll keep getting sides when I'm hungry enough. All the staff I've interacted with at Cosmos have been nothing but friendly and helpful. I've felt welcomed and attended to. Near the corner of Mission and Cost Highway, the restaurant is pretty small. The ambiance is stripped down and modern, not the best if you're with a date and want to hang out and talk. I have appreciated the background music (and it is definitely background, not blaring over conversation). The restrooms are shared with other businesses in the building; ask for an access code before heading out the back door to the atrium. There's only street parking and public lots nearby. Often the spots on the street out front are all taken, but I start driving around the block and always find a spot (unless it's Thursday Sunset Market). I've always been able to find a table, though. I love to walk on the Oceanside pier, and consider Cosmos walking distance to the pier. In-N-Out might beat Cosmos when it comes for value--I can get 3-4 fine cheeseburgers there for the price of one burger at Cosmos--but if you're looking for the better tasting burger, choose Cosmos. read more

The crisp of the chicken was perfect. Not oily, chicken was moist. The sauce had a slight kick to it. Not too spicey but enough to give it the right flavor.we got the hot chicken combo. The fries are string fries. Nicely cooked and crisp. I have to say better than McDonalds! they do sell beer and a spritzer type of wine. I got the guava strawberry. It was very refreshing and only 5.5% alcohol. The ambience is low key. You definitely feel like you're definitely in the neighborhood But, the food is worth it! I am definitely going to come back! read more

Wanted to try a new burger spot but sadly left highly dissatisfied. My bf and I ordered a chicken sandwich & a regular burger meal that came with either tots/fries plus a drink. Every single one of their sodas were flat and the ice part of their soda machine looked so disgusting we opted out of ice completely. There was black stuff all on the inside and it looked moldy. It made it hard to enjoy a drink thinking about it. The Chicken lacked flavor completely and the fries were basic. The burger was VERY greasy overall, the tater tots were probably the best part of the meal which was $40 plus tip we spent $50 on a meal we will not be eating again. Although the ladies working were pretty nice and checked on us throughout the meal, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

10/10 Experience at Cosmos's Burger! My husband, my brother, his girlfriend, and I decided to stop by Cosmos's Burger in Oceanside after a cocktail at a nearby bar. I had spotted it on Yelp and suggested we check it out. From the moment we walked in, we had a great experience. The staff was super helpful and patient with our questions. My brother ordered the Basic Burger, his girlfriend got the Cosmos Burger, my husband chose the OG Hot Dog, and I went with the Spicy Jam Burger. My husband and I shared, and we both agreed--this was hands down the best burger we've ever had. He said it might be the best of his life! The fries were fantastic, especially the Monkey Fries, and we paired everything with a couple of beers. The space is cozy, and we snagged a spot at the bar, which added to the relaxed vibe of the evening. All in all, Cosmos's Burger is definitely worth the visit. Great food, great service, and a perfect place for a casual yet amazing meal. We'll be back for sure! read more

Delicious burgers, chicken, and hubby loved the onion rings! Found this place on Yelp. Thank you Yelpers. Parking can be a little difficult, but we drove around the block, and there was plenty of free street parking. The burger came out super fast, hot, cheesy, and peppery. Yum! The chicken strips were $13.99 I believe. They were huge! We ordered the spicy strips, and they definitely had a nice Nashville Hot vibe and nice kick. The service was top-notch. David was very helpful when we told him it was our first time here. A few tables available for indoor dining, and the place was clean and well stocked with napkins, silverware, etc. Side note- they actually use real plates and metal forks and knives for dine-in. Nice touch. read more

It was very hard to find a parking lot. And caution, cosmos burger is right in front of a bus stop. The entire front of the restaurant has a red kerb, so fair warning!!! Lol There isn't a lot of seating available. That said, they do try to make as much of seating possible. There are three tables outside along the walkway, and they even make use of the periphery of the restaurants to create seating that looks out to the walkway. We ordered a beer - cosmos lager and a lavender lemonade. The cosmos lager was ok - a little bland. The lavender lemonade was good, a little too sweet for me even though I requested less syrup. Nice light taste of lavender. We ordered a basic burger, the hot chicken sandwich, and regular fries. It took a while to come out, but it was delivered to us piping hot! The basic burger was delicious! Double patty smash burger with caramelised edges, and the bun was nice and soft. My hot chicks sandwich was delicious! The two tenders were crisp, hot, and delicious. Every bite was delicious. And the burger is so huge I couldn't finish it. The fries were wonderful, delicious, and crispy. It's one of the best fries we've had. We will definitely be coming back. Just FYI, if you sit along the periphery of the restaurant and look out into the street, you may end up getting blocked by those tables on the walkway. If you want privacy, pick somewhere else to sit. read more

Ok so me and a friend went to this spot because the reviews were all saying for the most part that Cosmos and their burgers are flavorful. And sadly that wasn't the case when we went. I got a truffle burger and the burger was cooked well, but I couldn't taste any seasoning, the only flavor I got from the burger was from the grilled onions and pickles. The truffle sauce had very little flavor as well but really the burger wasn't bad so if you want a burger with minimal seasoning then this could be the spot for you. Now for the chicken tenders, they weren't cooked the best. The tenders also didn't have seasoning, and were a bit dry too as well. I got the garlic Parmesan tenders and the sauce they put over the chicken was bland. So overall it's not a bad restaurant, but for their prices I would want at least decent seasoning on my food but if you're a person who doesn't care for seasoning this is the spot for you read more
