    My kid is a smash burger connoisseur, and Crispy Burger tops the list of crispiest, most delicious burger in the area. For a spot that's kind of inconveniently located without any seating, Crispy Burger is poppin! Very busy, and the man on the grill didn't stop smashing burgers the entire 20 minutes we were in there. The menu is extensive and very customizable. Not in the mood for a burger? No problem. There's also egg breakfast sandwiches served all day. No seating was a little annoying, but it was a great excuse to trunk picnic at the beach. We'll be back for sure.

    Crispy Burger with a gluten free bun
    Kirsten K.

    Ordered online, stopped by to grab it to go. The parking lot is a bit challenging with the coffee drive thru. The burger was great!! Gluten free bun was great too. AND NO UP CHARGE FOR GF!! Not sure if it was because of all of the stuff on the burger but it was great. They had an advertisement on the door for a double cheeseburger for $3.99; which I didn't see on the online ordering platform. I would definitely go back!

    Went by for some lunch, staff were nice and the food came out quick. The OG double burger: Really rich, greasy, well seasoned. Almost falling apart from all the fats, exactly what you expect from a burger. 4/5 1/2 fries and onion rings: Fries looked to be coated in a batter, which had a different texture than straight fried potatoes. The onion rings, near perfect. 5/5 All American single: Rich like the OG, but the vegetables, and acid from the condiments and pickles balance it out. From the two I prefer the American more 5/5 Overall I'd come back again

    Why is this place called crispy burgers, should be mushy burgers. Way over rated and how. My son didn't even eat his burger after one bite, he will eat at all cheap fast food burgers, I have never seen him not eat a burger. Meat is whatever, cheese sucks, fries boring. Staff was nice. Don't review on ambience, but none. Oh and it's a Pepsi place enough said, they do have coke in a can, have you ever been to a coke place and they have Pepsi in a can, nope because coke is what makes the meal complete. Don't go been passing this place for a long time always thinking about trying it but my own tuition was keeping me from a bad experience. This place is a chain, crazy. Really makes San Diego look bad

    CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH

    The most mid hamburger that doesn't even taste like a hamburger. I got the OG after a friend of ours said it was a place to check out. We all thought it was very mildly tasting. My friend who got the crispy chicken sandwich said it taste like something she got from Carl's Jr. Mine doesn't even taste like a burger. It tastes like a meat patty sandwich. Thank God, I added jalapeños because without that this thing would have no taste. $18 with fries is a huge rip off. Not going back.

    Talk about an amazing burger joint! I had the 2025 deal at Crispy Burger to start off the new year, and it was the best ever! Mouth watering, perfectly cooked double on a brioche bun, with cheese! The sauce and onions are fire! The burger is like a smash burger and In N Out combined but a million times better! The fries and ranch dressing were delicious too! The staff were working so fast and so friendly! They were amazing! Can't wait to visit the Oceanside location when it opens!

    Some friends of mine insisted on bringing me here even though I'm not a big burger guy and I absolutely see why now. I love that they have Impossible Burgers as an option. To be honest, I had no idea what a crispy burger was. Apparently they roll the meat into a ball and smash it down for cooking. Honestly I thought that the idea of thousand island dressing on a burger sounded strange but I decided to go with it and end up loving it. It was delicious and obviously unlike any burger I'd had before. They also cook the fries in avocado oil, which was also something I hadn't experienced before (but also loved). This is a very small place where you just grab your food and go. We got our burgers and ate them at the nearby beach. I loved my meal from here and would absolutely be a regular if I lived around here.

    Half Fries Half Onion Rings

    I loved these thin patty burgers, not salty, and the bun is so soft and has a hint of sweetness to it, the grilled onions have a subtle crunch. Definitely would come back, not a local so this is a gem if you live near by try it out. The fries and onion rings were perfectly cooked to the right about of crispness. The employees Offer you an option for thousands island or ranch or both, tried both and they seem home made, very good. No seating area, just take out.

    Yay for using avocado oil!

HIGHLIGHTS (in case you don't feel like reading): SERVICE: 10/10 FOOD: 10/10 AMBIANCE: 10/10 BAR 10/10 Wait Staff: The Henry seems to have built a genuinely great culture among its wait staff. Across roughly 8 to 10 visits, I've never had a poor experience with a single server. Every interaction has been overwhelmingly positive. Being realistic, these men and women are on their feet for hours, constantly moving and working, yet every server I've encountered stays upbeat and makes you feel genuinely appreciated as a guest. That level of consistency doesn't happen by accident! More recently, ELENA and GRACE have been my servers, and they embody everything described above and I hope to see them every time I go!!! Food: I'll be honest, As far as entrees fI refuse to order anything other than the prime skirt steak and the braised short rib because they're both that good. Prime skirt steak: Order it medium rare and expect a perfect sear, a beautiful crust, and a perfectly cooked steak. Over the many times I've ordered it, it has come out virtually identical every single time, and the presentation is equally impressive. Flawless dish. Braised Short Rib: It's textbook perfect. The sauce hits that sweet and savory balance beautifully, and with the mashed potatoes, everything just works. Presentation is excellent here, too. You'll see some variety from time to time, and it's fun to see it. This is an easy ten out of ten dish. SUSHI: ORDER THE SUSHI! Neither of the aforementioned dishes are especially large and this is where the sushi comes in! They have EXCELLENT sushi rolls as well! Ask about the yellowtail specialty roll! High praise for the 3 different rolls that I tried! Ambience. The ambience deserves its own mention. There's an energy to the place--lively and upbeat, but not chaotic. No bad seat in the restaurant. Immaculate vibes!! MY OFFICIAL FAVORITE RESTAURANT!

There's parallel street parking throughout the area, so you might get lucky and find a spot nearby. I ended up parking on one of the side streets, which worked out perfectly. I came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was definitely busy. We had to wait a little while for a table because several tables still needed to be cleaned before they could seat new guests. The staff was incredibly friendly, though, and we were seated as soon as they could. It did take about 15 minutes before a server was able to come over and take our order, but the restaurant was completely packed, so it's something to keep in mind if you're in a hurry. After spending the day at the beach, we were really just in the mood for drinks. I ordered the Blood Orange Margarita, which can be served with Tajín, sea salt, or no rim at all. It was really good and definitely on the stronger side, which I appreciated. My only complaint was that there was a bit too much ice, but the flavor itself was great. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, large open windows that let in plenty of fresh air, and a fun, lively vibe that makes it a great place to relax after a beach day. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the ambiance and cocktails, just be prepared for a little wait if you visit during peak hours.

I love that everything is intended to be shared so you can try a little bit of everything. FOOD REVIEW: * Cornbread - strawberry, basil, goat cheese, balsamic. Absolutely delectable, moist and flavorful with every bite. * Prawn - ember roasted, prickly pear, mezcal, candied habanero. Literally so good, fresh and full of flavor. * Tomato - smoked blue cheese, piquillo pepper, meyer lemon, opal basil. Very fresh and great for summertime but nothing you can't make at home if I'm being honest. * Broccoli - chermoula, lime, peanut. This was unbelievably amazing and not your typical broccoli. I'm sure even those who don't like broccoli would enjoy this. * Crudo yellowfin - aji amarillo, charred avocado, guava. Omg, I loved this and could have eaten the entire plate by myself. The aji was just enough without being overpowering. * Pork belly smoked - stinging nettle, snap pea, wasabi. Once again, another amazing dish. It had that melt in your mouth kind of texture and was so smooth but not spicy. * Octopus - smoked celery root, spanish chorizo, basil chimichurri. Really amazing & tender + it was recommended from our server since "you can't just get good octopus anywhere" and I 100% agree! They have a fairly extensive drink menu as well with lots of delicious options. I will say their espresso martini is especially pleasant and isn't too sweet.

Good. A bit dry. The butter was not quite strong enough. Could have done with a bit of honey or something on it. Something a bit thicker. Still above average. - Crudo - amazing. Just simply amazing. We loved everything about it. The guava taste was unique and the sauce was thick enough to not be overpowered by the yellowtail. - Ribeye - Good, but nothing special. The charred outside had a since flavor. The chimichurri hit the spot. - Potato side for the ribeye didn't show up even though we ordered it. - Cheesecake was solid. Food was above average but not WOW except for the crudo. The service needs work. Server did not put in our potato side dish so it didn't come in time for the meal. Drinks were not refilled on time. We sometimes couldn't find a server to help us when we needed little things. Then when we did manage to run one down it took forever to get something. Overall, this place is a cool concept. I'd give it a 4 for food and a 3 for service.
