    Their original crispy smashburger was fantastic! Perfectly seasoned, and completed with the brioche bun well. Service was great. Plenty of seating inside

    Juicy smashed burger with a nice crisp! Food is made to order with fresh ingredients. The first time we dined in, we met the owner who was serving guests with a huge smile and a lot of energy. He was doing it all when we came in. He took our order, made our food, and checked on us. Both of my kids got the kids' meal that came with 2 sliders, fries, a drink, and crispy candy. It's freeze-dried Skittles, which my kids are into right now. Parking: Limited Free parking. There is construction going on and most of the parking is taken in the back parking lot by the workers. **Military Discount** We have come in several times since then and have been met with the same great service by employees. Seating: Theres several booths and tables inside. There is also sitting outside. Overall we will keep coming back. Good burgers, and good service

    Kids loved this one in Carlsbad so glad one opened up closer to us. The hamburger was juicy and big for a double. You could customize it and stuff. The sauces were a hit for my kids. The French fries at crispy level were great and I would say using avocado oil is such a rare thing these days. We ordered DoorDash and this was the second time because the first order was cancelled by our dasher. Friday night they took some time. However I would say great place and the onion rings were so good.

    I ordered the Half Fries - Half Onion Rings on Sunday evening through Door Dash The onion rings were cooked perfectly, but the fries were soggy and overcooked. I had to throw away as well over salted. My first bad experience atEat Crispy Burger .

    Got a single classic burger and it was really good! Great flavor and the prices were pretty fair. It was great in between for a juicy, dirty burger and a slightly cleaner, everything burger (e.g. in-n-out)! Definitely coming back for the fries too!

    OG Burger - good then half way point it started to be really salty. Fries - extra, good Onions - lots of it. Fast service.

    My coworkers have been raving about this place so I decided to try it out! It's in a convenient spot in an area with offices and a lot of people come here for lunch. Double burger - 10/10, I'm not really a smash burger person but this was great! Sauce was delicious and beef was kind of crispy which I liked For the price the taste and quality is good. I would definitely stop by again for lunch!

    Original Single Crispy Burger with lettuce
    Ryan N.

    I got an original burger combo (burger, fries, large drink) for $14, and I think the value of it was pretty good. I added lettuce to mine (can also add onions and peppers for free). Burger was big for a smashburger, fries were a nice portion, got a free sauce, and they had lemonades/jamaica/horchata as other drinks along soda. Open kitchen design so I saw them cook/fry everything fresh. Burger patty was seasoned well, smashed for the crispy edge, and the center still had some meat to savor on. The brioche bun was toasted and soft, but super big and hid the patty flavor a bit. My preference are smaller buns like potato rolls because it allows the patty to shine, so it would have been nice to have that option. The grilled onions could have been cooked a lil longer for the browning and caramelization, because mine lacked a bit in flavor. Overall, chill spot if you are in the area and want a savory smashburger. Inside is super clean, and I super appreciate them for making everything fresh given I came at a random time. The two people working were so friendly and nice. Also given this place is family-owned, I appreciate that they have been able to keep the prices good while using good ingredients. They fry everything in avocado oil and that stuff is not cheap. Nothing in the burger felt "cheap" or trying to cut corners. I got good value for my purchase, and I'd probably stop by again if I was craving a burger nearby.

    Mushroom double burger

    Good burger spot! Got the Mushroom double burger and fries. Food had good flavor and burger was good well, there's lots of customization available for their menu. They will validate parking (La Jolla location) and it's attached to a boba shop. Order on a tablet or at the counter, plenty of spacious seating inside.

    The Eat Crispy Burger empire is growing.  I started eating at Eat Crispy Burger back in 2022 when the first location opened in Encinitas.  The delicious burgers and the warm family atmosphere was a winning combination.  I was happy to see the 4th location is within biking distance and there is bike parking in the parking lot. I ordered a double burger with bacon, lettuce, and tomato.  Beef was tender and had a nice char which accentuated the mild beef flavor.  Bacon was crispy with a smoky flavor.  Lettuce and tomato was fresh, adding some moisture to the burger.  Very good tasting burger. Onion rings had a crunchy outer layer and was full of fried onion flavor.  Fries were crispy and had a tasty fried potato flavor. I found out they make their own lemonade here.  Strawberry lemonade had a mix of sweet strawberry and sour lemon flavor.  Mango lemonade had a mix of sweet mango and sour lemon flavor.  Both were very good.  Much better than the lemonade I've tried from soda machines. 2nd visit I ordered a Monster Burger.  There are a ton of flavors from the hash brown, beef patty, sausage, ham, and eggs.  Awesome breakfast with the ham being especially tasty. Vanilla shake was handmade and full of sweet vanilla flavor.  Nice and thick the way I like it and delicious. Service was excellent and it was great seeing the owners again.

    double original crispy burger

    I have been in search of the best smash burger in San Diego and Eat Crispy Burger is among the best. I have been a regular a Regent's pizza for years and have walked past this place many times without giving the place much notice, and now I wish I had given the place more attention earlier. The checkout was easy and quick, you add your order a kiosk and then get a text a few minutes later telling you when your order will be ready for pick up. I tried the double original crispy burger. The burger is simple and well executed with grilled onions, two smash patties with melted cheese on a brioche bun. My favorite burgers are the simple ones that don't overwhelm you by combining too much on sauce with unnecessary toppings. This burger hit the mark by combing great taste with a crispy patty and minimal ingredients all for a reasonable price. I will be coming here again very soon.

    Service was great. Waitress was holding the place down by herself very impressively…read more I got the famous rosiemac burger double patty and it was very delicious however I think the cheese may have overpowered it and I think next time I would choose one without the cheese completely. Onion rings were ok. Nothing to rave about honestly. The seasoning on it made them seem nicer but I think it just took away from a good ol fashioned onion rings, they also added a seasoning to the ranch to pair with the onion ring and I wasn't a huge fan. Next time I definitely want to try a different burger and opt for the elote fries or no fries at all. I'm just happy to finally be able to cross this place off my list of must tries, lol.

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.

    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.

    Rocky's Burgers is a casual burger spot located in Pacific Beach, known for its juicy burgers,…read moresimple menu, and convenient location in a busy beachside area with a laid-back, local vibe. Pros: I got the half-pound burger with fries and it was really good overall. The burger was super juicy, well-cooked, and had that classic hearty, satisfying taste you want from a solid burger spot. The portion size was generous, especially with the half-pound patty, and the fries were a great side to round out the meal. The location in Pacific Beach is also a big plus. It's in a great area with lots going on, so it's easy to grab food and walk around afterward or make it part of a beach day. The overall vibe of the spot feels casual and fitting for PB--nothing overly fancy, just good comfort food done right. Cons: Since it's in a busy beach area, parking and crowds can be a bit of a challenge depending on the time you go. It's more of a casual grab-and-go or quick dine-in spot, so don't expect a sit-down restaurant experience with a lot of space or quiet seating. During peak beach hours, it can also get pretty busy. Verdict: Overall, Rocky's Burgers is a great spot in Pacific Beach if you're craving a juicy, satisfying burger in a fun beachside area. The half-pound burger and fries hit the spot, and it's a solid choice for a casual meal before or after hanging out in PB.

In this case, The Friendly deserves its recognition as a no nonsense establishment that embodies Bourdain's wisdom. Let's get into it. Cuisine: 5/5.

Who would have thought that a medium size smash burger could pack in the flavor without breaking the bank? It's simple. It's flavorful. And it's affordable.

Look, when you're jaded from overpaying for whack burgers in L.A. (Wally's & Marvito come to mind), it's easy to be shocked back into reality by good food at reasonable prices. Beverages: 4/5. Beer. Sodas. $1 off if you shotgun the beer. Say less. Service: 5/5. No frills. No performative friendliness. Just a direct style of communication and the efficiency of the staff. Thank you! Buen provecho

The flavor of the burger never fails to satisfy, with perfect patties, melts cheese, and bbq sauce. So many burger joints do crumb crusted onion rings, so the Friendly's battered beauties are a treat of an alternative and always golden brown and crispy. I enjoy the patio setting, even in the summer heat, because there are usually enough shady seats to go around, and the family and dog-friendliness is a plus. Should I add the prices can't be beat? Enjoy the Friendly. Everything you want, nothing you don't.
