This is the very first pity 5 stars I've ever done. I didn't order any food nor any drinks. So to…read moregive it anything less than five stars is completely unfair. The service was excellent so that's all I'm going off of. The menu did look pretty fire though, so I'd be willing to give it another shot cause for all intents and purposes, the other people in the restaurant seemed to be really enjoying the food! But anyways... I'm a skillet cookie connoisseur. Any place that has a skillet cookie, I'm going there SOLEY to order it. If I ever get married, instead of having cake, my guests will be having skillet cookies for dessert instead. Some might say I love skillet cookies even more than Scottie Scheffler. My love for skillet cookies runs deeper than the Mariana trench and I've been to more than (at least) 11 restaurants to exclusively try them out. With that out of the way... I'm horrified to report this is the worst skillet cookie I've ever had in my entire life. It somehow felt overcooked, yet undercooked at the same time. It was also like they cooked it at an angle. Because it awkwardly occupied 3/4ths of the skillet. It had the consistency of a cake but the taste of a cookie? It was like they couldn't decide whether or not they wanted to make a cake or a cookie. So instead, they decided to half bake something that was in between. I couldn't believe it. It was also completely lacking in the chocolate chip department. All in all, this skillet cookie had a worse performance than Michael Jordan during his high school varsity tryouts. I'll admit it too... I completely lied to the waitress when she came over and asked me how the cookie was. Instead of telling her the truth, I gave her two thumbs up and said, " it's good!".... It was not good. It was terrible! I'm a coward.

This wasn't the first time I've been to Tavern, but it's the first time I've been in probably a…read moreyear or two and, while I love the atmosphere of the place, the food isn't what I'd call one of my favorites on Coronado. The bar in the restaurant is great, with a couple of nice TVs for sports, and the somewhat dark, basement-oriented style of the restaurant is really cool and unique. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Grilled Bacon & Blistered Shishito Pepper Burger. While the burger looked delicious, and tasted decent, I had higher hopes for it. I was wanting the burger to be a bit more juicy and spicy. While there is some room for improvement there, it's definitely still a place I'll be back to!

Captain's Log, Stardate 21483…read more This past Sunday, I charted a course to Nicky Rottens in Coronado, a delightful establishment located at the end of Orange Avenue. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by an uplifting open-air environment, truly a breath of fresh air that felt like stepping onto the observation deck of the USS Enterprise. The amazing views of the bay were nothing short of spectacular, bringing a serene beauty that rivals the finest star systems. Over the years, my wife, her girlfriend, and I have become frequent travelers to this culinary haven, beaming back for nearly 15 years--a testament to its enduring allure. The selection of IPAs and mixed drinks is impressive, catering to even the most discerning palates in the galaxy. The choices are vast enough to satisfy anyone embarking on this flavor exploration, whether you prefer a refreshing drink to toast a successful mission or something bolder, like a phaser on stun! The menu features a delightful array of options, including fresh salads, tantalizing finger foods, and, of course, their famed burgers. My wife's enthusiasm for the offerings has always been infectious, and during this visit, she and her girlfriend were on a culinary adventure of their own, indulging in the flavors that have made Nicky Rottens a local favorite. The burgers are truly out of this world--juicy, flavorful, and expertly crafted to ensure a warp-speed experience with every bite. You'll find that each dish is prepared with precision, as if overseen by a skilled chef with the abilities of a Vulcan and the passion of a true culinary Starfleet officer. In conclusion, Nicky Rottens is a prime destination for anyone seeking a vibrant atmosphere, stunning views, and a solid meal. I can confidently say that if you ever find yourself in Coronado, this establishment is a must-visit. After all, it's just one small step for man, and one giant leap into deliciousness! Live long and prosper. End log. Captain 619

Aside from that, they're generic normal tasting tater tots. For the burger, I liked the bun and other ingredients, but thought the savoriness of the meat was just okay. Also, can't say I'm a huge fan of the tiny lettuce whenever I see it. Overall, this joint is not bad, but I can think of very little about it that stands out. I don't feel that it fully leans into being a sports bar or dive bar or even as a burger joint. It's just.....a bar. Apparently, it prides itself as being an original coronado spot, but I didn't get that kinda vibe here. I don't know.

We looked up how to get to Burger Lounge, added their app, and looked at the menu to figure out which burgers we were craving. We were extremely impressed with the service we received for a restaurant that wasn't a sit-down restaurant, the taste of the burgers, and the quick texts we received from the restaurant when signing up with the app. We arrived to Burger Lounge around 7:15 PM on a weekday evening. There were a number of people sitting down in the chairs just outside as there was limited seating inside. We went right inside as someone else was wrapping up their order at the counter. We then were able to place an order almost immediately. I went for The "Classic" which consists of grass-fed beef, American cheese, organic ketchup, mustard, onion, and pickles. I substituted cheddar cheese. My wife chose the Ancient Grain Burger with a quinoa/veggie patty, choice of cheddar cheese or vegan cheddar (she chose regular cheddar cheese), lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and BL 1000 (which she left off). I also ordered a Real Chocolate Milk Shake. My wife, who usually just says that a meal was "okay" was raving about how great Burger Lounge is, and I also thought the burger and shake were amazing! The cashier and server were also so helpful and answered our questions and made sure we were doing well. The place was clean, and we felt comfortable sitting there while eating. When I added the app (https://www.burgerlounge.com/promotions/download-our-app), I entered my info and birthday and received a $5 off $30+ online order code. Also, since this is my birthday month, I also received a promo code for a free shake with no purchase necessary. When I was at the register and showed them the code, they gave me the shake with an in-person order. If you go to their website (https://www.burgerlounge.com), you can see their online menu, order catering or an online order, host a fundraiser, download the app, and more. This particular location has a heated patio, serves beer and wine, offers catering, is pet friendly, and offers delivery. It is open Sunday through Thursday from 10:30 AM to 9 PM and Friday and Saturday from 10:30 AM to 10 PM. You can read more about this particular location at https://www.burgerlounge.com/locations/coronado. We do go to Coronado every now and then, so Burger Lounge is now on our "must have" list of places to visit even for a casual meal at some point during our visit.

Veggie burger was also burnt (black on both sides), terrible consistency. Decorative panels outside look dirty.

I'm sure this is a company wide decision, not specific to this location, but what a bummer they don't even give you a choice. Sad to say I'm never going back.

Definitely make a reservation! There was already a wait when we arrived, but thankfully we had reservations and were able to get seated without the hassle. Overall, another great experience at The Henry. Great food, beautiful restaurant, and great service. We'd definitely come back!

I know a lot of tourists come to Hodad's but it's a staple for me whenever I'm craving a burger. Whenever I envision my ideal burger, it's this place/spot! 5/5

Its San Diego time again!…read more I have been to the original Hodad's in Ocean Beach, so during a staycay in the San Diego Gaslamp, I said I gotta hit up this location on Broadway. The portions are big and the quality of the food is very good. The breading and seasoning on the chicken was tasty AF. Secondarily, the burgers are 1/4 lb and a single is plenty for a normal person. Lastly, the rings were thicc and GBD. Unfortunately, we sat in traffic for 3 hrs from OC, when it normally takes 1 1/2 hrs: We were really hungry, and Hodads met our needs. Regarding the ambiance, its a bit grunge but np for me. The name has a whole lot of nostalgia in SD. The service was friendly & warm. Our food came out quickly. The only downside was the chicken & rings needed some kinda sauce, but otherwise everything else was great. Would def return the next time I am in the area.

Bonehead tots - excellent choice for shareable meal. Tots with bacon and their signature sauce hits the spot. Bonehead wings - do the wing lovers. The buffalo sauce is spicy and wings full of meat. Great for 1 person or to share. One thing that we did notice is the service. They were very attentive. Being a family owned business they know how to take care of their customers.

The Bonehead burger alone is $13...it felt like it was almost reminding me of a fast food burger...it was flavorful and overall pretty good, but for $13 I felt it was a rip off. It was mostly toppings of chopped up bacon, fried onions and veggies. Next were the tots, they were a HUGE portion (which I would've appreciated in the burger) and covered in what I can only imagine was that fake nacho cheese in a can. soggy and disappointing. The tots by themselves were delicious and crispy, but covered in the cheese they end up soggy and falling apart. I guess that's on me though to order cheddar cheese, I should've clarified what kind of cheese it would've been. Service was slow, only one person working the front helping people order, cleaning tables, grabbing condiments and bringing food to the tables. They definitely needed another person there to help out. I watched my burger sit under heat lamps for at least 5+ minutes. I had heard good reviews about this place, so I'm glad I tried it but overall just ehh.

I've gone here several times and each experience has always lived up to the great expectation of each burger I've tried. Prices are a little up there given "the size" of the burgers, but you're paying for the ingredients and quality of it. The flavors of each burgers are truly incredible. Everything is fresh, cooked to perfection, and explained very well when brought to the table. I forgot the name of the burger I tried, but it was chicken based that was like a curry infused (it was yellow) and I thought it was a nice edition to the menu. Side note, you might want to wear gloves or eat with knife and fork as you'll be using a lot of napkins for sure (haha) I will continue to show the love for this place and enjoy this as one of my "special treat meals". Thanks for the wonderful experience.
