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

    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.

    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!

Our waiter was pretty cool, although his name is escaping me now. We ordered a few appetizers, wings, steak taquitos, and the pretzel. We noshed on these before we ordered our meals of bison burger, and two single patty smash burgers. Not sure if it's because it was around 7:30/8 o'clock at night, but the food was not up to par according to the two that I was with, who frequent this place. The steak taquitos tasted a tad overdone, but still pretty good since it was the first time I've had them. The pretzel was really good, but the dipping sauces not so good. I still cannot figure out why one of them was a hot caramel sauce. I have never put caramel on my pretzel and it tasted like crap to be honest. The queso must've been the bottom of the pot because it was hard and kind of burnt tasting, so pretty disappointed in the pretzel choice. Our meals came and honest to God the Smashburger looked like a kids meal. This tiny burger plopped on a big white plate with onion rings, and the burger was not good. The bison burger did not have any of the sauces on it that it stated in the menu so he needed to ask for some love on the burger. So the waiter brought over a bunch of sauces. It's a shame because they talk about this place all the time and I really wanted to try it and it just wasn't up to par. I ended up taking my Smashburger home, and the next day I scraped the nasty sauce off it, added mayonnaise to the bun and an extra slice of cheese and it was actually pretty good. I definitely wanna come again because they talk about this place all the time and how good the food is. Maybe it was just the night we went.
