    Large Fries - LRG
    Alice C.

    Burgers were really yummy! Pretty big so be ready to get messy. Fries were really yummy as well; good thing to note is that they have organic ketchup. Service was super nice as well and food came out hot and fresh!

    Great spot to come to and enjoy a delicious burger and fries. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They have a nice patio area to sit and enjoy the food. One of the best burger I have had in a long time, so worth the drive.

    Tried a new spot for lunch on the way back home from the Temeculawineries. YUMMY!! Everything is fresh & they only cook with beef tallow. Great service & vibes. #DiningWithTheAndersons #SmashBurgers #YummyGoodness #Escondido

    The original double
    Erick M.

    Must Try DELICIOUS clean burgers. Background: -They ground their grass-fed beef -Use beef tallow -Seed oil free Food -The Original Smash Burger (double). It feels that you're chewing into a soft, flavorful perfectly assembled soft chew cheeseburger. It's DELICIOUS. (5/5) - Fries (Classic): they are cooked in beef tallow but they NEED TO BE CRISPIER IMO, or offer a secret well done option (3/5) -LOADED FRIES ARE DELICIOUS. We got ours without bacon and they were amazing! (5/5) Atmosphere -You order and pick up, you're there for the food not the ambiance. They do have an outside area which is nice Service -They are friendly and help with recommendations. The staff is amazing! Overall -You'll love their burgers (double is suggested) and are clean (fresh ingredients no preservatives). The small sizes are not small and a great value! Their burgers and loaded fires are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    We were in the mood for a tasty burger and something we have not tried before! Farm to Smash was SCRUMPTIOUS! All fresh ingredients. We both got the Rodeo Burger with Bacon and Grilled Onions. My Husband got the regular lemonade and I got the strawberry lemonade. Both were refreshing. We shared large fries and those fries were so good. Cooked in Beef Tallow. There's no combos so everything is A la carte. Farm to Smash is small, but has a nice high top table along the wall where you can enjoy your burger. You can also eat outside out front or on their side patio under the shade. The cashier up front was super helpful on guiding us through the menu and making sure we knew our options. I really enjoyed my lunch there and would definitely recommend checking them out if you haven't done so already.

    After seeing all the social media hype, we finally decided to give this place a try on Father's Day. We ordered The Original (one single and two doubles). The burgers were decent, but we felt they could have used a bit more seasoning. Food was just okay in our opinion, not a bad meal. The shake was the standout item for me. Service was friendly and the outdoor patio was a nice place to sit and enjoy our meal. We can definitely check this one off our list.

    I ordered The Original (no pickles) with grilled onions and American cheese. The .33 oz patty was super smashed--ultra thin with crispy edges; get a double if you're looking for a filling meal. The bun was suuuuuper soft, probably too soft. The spread tasted ok, but it didn't match burger all that well. Good price point, not-so-great presentation. The front-inside was simple and nice with stools around the walls, but it had some serious ventilation issues, with smoke from the kitchen spreading and lingering. The front door kept blowing open and closed on the windy day i visited. No salt on the very crispy fries, but they provided salt packets. Order at the front and wait for you food to be called.

    It is self serve restaurant with friendly cashier. It has a shared patio with adjacent restaurants but patio is not clean. HOWEVER, food is definitely delicious, fries are cooked in beef tallow but it was not crispy

    Rodeo burger and fries
    David F.

    Holy crap!!! This place was to die for. First time here, I snagged the rodeo burger. And my mouth completely melted with the awesome taste of this burger. If I had to rate this burger out of a 10, it's an easy 11. Succulent to every bite. Made to order, juicy and absolutely delicious. They have hand crafted lemonade drinks which were super tasty. Please try this burger!!!! The staff were super nice and good on recommendations, the ambiance is similar to a fast food place, small indoor seating and a large outdoor side seating area with shade canopies. Not the best, but it's extra seating. Don't take the appearance of this place for granted. The burgers are where it's at!

    BYO Double
    Andrea A.

    So let me just say their homemade ranch is PHENOMENAL!! My brother found this spot and I was blown away by that ranch. Im a ranch girlie, and this one has some flavor that makes me soo happy! The burger, not quite sure what they do but it definitely hits the spot. Its not your average fat patty, its thin so I would recommend getting the BYO Double. Personally, because you can never go wrong with the extra meat. I would love if they had the option for avocado because I cant do cheese. Thatd be my one hope that they add. Ive never been inside, so not quite sure how it looks in there. I can say they do have a great turnaround time. My brother and I went to grab some food after a hike and he was in there may e 15 minutes while I waited in the car. So they do work quick and its delicious. The fries are crispy too!

    Chipotle fries

    Went here, cause I was recommended by my neighbor. The location is in a Very unassuming strip mall area of Escondido. Not really much room to eat inside the restaurant, but there is a patio on the left side of the building however, it is extremely sunny and not great for rainy days if that occurs. You order at the counter and you wait to pick it up and bring it to your own table yourself basically like In-N-Out but with a a lot higher price tag. My husband and I ordered the chipotle burger and a burger with the garlic aïoli, chipotle fries, chocolate shake, and strawberry lemonade. First off the chipotle fries with bacon is incredible. I didn't expect much from it, but actually, it was the favorite. The chipotle burger was good, but the garlic aïoli was very strong raw garlic flavor which if you're not a fan of you may not like. Overall, the burger was great, but without the extra garlic aïoli sauce that I got on the side, it would've been pretty dry honestly. The chocolate shake was good, but it took them a long time to make it because they make it from scratch you could say with a malt machine. I would personally skip on the strawberry lemonade next time, though it wasn't really that good. Not sure if I would really come back, but it is a solid Smash burger spot. It honestly is the one of the top places in San Diego for Smashburgers in my opinion.

    Beef is freshly ground, not frozen

    So glad we found this place! Thank you Yelpers. The build your own smash burger was right up there to challenge others we've had and enjoyed. It was a very good, flavorful, fresh, tasty burger. Their original sauce was delicious...recommended. The fries also appeared and tasted to be freshly cut. There aren't any fountain drinks, but they do have cold bottled drinks. It was nice and clean inside and the employees were friendly and helpful. Parking lot is fairly large, but can get crowded.

    Nancy T.

    Yumm is an understatement! Tried this place after girlie recommended and mannnn the menu hits HARD! I went with a double after being told the single was a little lean... but the single would have been perfect. The garlic fries --- kicking! My breath smelled like it too. I love their organic drink options, and the decor was quaint and cute. You can see them work in the kitchen through a side glass window while waiting. It was nice to see their farm to smash concept.

It's hard to find a burger place with all my favorites: an egg, bacon, and avocado. The bacon was crispy, the egg was medium and wasn't too runny, and the brioche bread was a little sweet and fluffy. They use angus beef for their patties. You can also split your fries which I love! I got to try the onion rings and sweet potato fries. I wish the sweet potato fries were crispy. They were more on the soggy side. The onion rings batter was a lil thicker than I like. The batter overpowered the onion. We also got the Cajun wings to try which was nice and crispy! They give you a few sauces on the side so you can dip it. I got the ranch which was so good with the wings, fries and burger. The milkshakes are pretty delicious! We got the classic vanilla one. It was a pretty thick shake so you know they use legit ice cream! I also liked the peach lemonade. I would check this place out if you're in the area!

Brgr Shack has almost perfected the smashed burger grilling and I appreciate the unique style of giving you a selection of variations of a the Brgr to choose from. 1) Shack Brgr: very tasty and the grilled onions was a nice addition. The Maillard reaction still produced a very juice Brgr with a soft tasty bun. The juices soaked into the bottom bun making it a soggy mess. A little salty, but, good. 2) Mushroom & Swiss Brgr: wife ordered this, but, got full on the Beef Loaded Fries (more on that later). Yet, she brought it home and reheated in microwave and she loved it!!! The Brgr reheated well. She said it was still juicy and well seasoned. Must have been good because she ate the whole thing!!! 3) Beef Loaded Fries: well, my wife also loved this and ate half at the Shack. The fries are thick chips, topped with crumbled Brgr, grilled onions, cheese and pickles. This was a favorite for us. The meal was good and filling. Something happened with the order and the kitchen didn't get the order slip. Had to go up and asked and the cook profusely apologized for the mixup. He quickly put our order together in a little over 5 minutes and the counter person also apologized for the inconvenience. Brgr Shack comped an order of plain fries which turned out well because we used those chips to scoop the toppings of the Beef Loaded Fries. The fries underneath got soggy quick. And there was no forks to be found. Stars subtracted for lost order and no forks. Will try again of course. The dining room was clean with ample tables and chairs. They have a wall full of studio quality pictures of the menu items. There is lots of parking in an older (the surface of the parking lot were full of cracks and pot holes) strip mall. Definitely a return visit call!!! Returning on a Wednesday to take advantage of the Crazy Cow 50% Discount on 2nd Brgr. Yes!!!

    How good was my experience at Old World Meat Company? So good, I cried. I grew up eating Balkan…read morefood and my first bite of the cevap (minced meat sausage but there is no casing; just the meat hand-formed and grilled) tasted like "the olden days" and tears started flowing because of the happy memories and flavors it brought back. Bosko and his family own, operate, and create the menu at this restaurant and they are friendly and welcoming and passionate about the food and service they offer, and it felt like coming home. The Food: I had the Mixed Plate, which comes with grilled minced meat sausage, grilled pork shoulder and a side of coleslaw (prepared the Balkan way with oil and vinegar). I chose the Balkan toppings, so the meat was served on a naan type bread topped with the Balkan toppings which consists of white onions, kajmak (feta cheese/cream/butter spread), diced bell peppers, and ajvar (bell pepper and eggplant spread). The sausage is perfectly seasoned, the pork shoulder tender. A friend and I also shared a half-order of Balkan Fries with sausage topped with Balkan toppings. The combination of the fries, sausage and toppings is a tantalizing, mouth-watering marriage of flavors. Bosko brought a sample of the chicken since we hadn't ordered it and it was full of flavor and oh so tender. If you've never had Balkan food, you are in for a very delicious treat. The first time you eat here, I suggest you get the Mixed Plate with Balkan Toppings. Ask them to add a side of chicken to your plate so you can sample that too. I think you'll find you've died and gone to Balkan heaven. If you want to know what every person of Balkan heritage grew up eating, this is what we were eating. The Drink: They offer a good variety of beers on tap, both local brews and name-brand. Soft drinks and iced tea are self-serve. Nice. The Ambiance: The restaurant is located in an older, tiny little shopping mall almost at the end of East Valley Parkway. Bosko's father bought the building back in the 70s so this is a location that is near and dear to Bosko's heart. As you first walk up to the restaurant, the first thing you notice is the wonderful smell of the smoker filling the air with the unmistakable scent of good-meat-things-happening. Taste buds, get ready for a grand ride. There are picnic tables outside but it was a warm day and we wanted to sit inside. Inside you are greeted with a clean, open and welcoming space, newly decorated with bright white tile in the kitchen and service area, and rustic wood boards on the wall. Seating is at either picnic-style tables or taller tables with stools. Two TV sets were airing sports programs, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. The ceiling features open duct work that's shiny and new and there's corrugated metal sheet on the bottom half of the walls, which all together makes the place feel fresh and warm and comfortable. The menu is easy to read and straight-forward. While we were there, a softball team was hosting their end-of-year party. The place was full to the rafters but we never felt like it was too many people or too loud. Value: The prices are extremely reasonable. Let's just say my eyeballs didn't pop out of their sockets like they do at some restaurants. Everyone in my party was pleased with the portion sizes, and we all felt like we got more than what we paid for in terms of the quality of the food and the taste of the food. Catering: Bosko was telling us a little about how he came around to opening the restaurant and we learned that before this he did catering, serving whole roasted pig, lamb, sausages. He shared that they are going to cater for an event that will have 1,200 people!! The softball team I mentioned in "The Ambiance" section had their food catered in-house by Bosko. They had hero sandwiches which looked fresh and delicious and fully loaded with deli ham, turkey and toppings. These were served with fries and a green salad. Old World Meat Co also caters the traditional Balkan foods they serve at the restaurant, which would make any party a hit with guests. Bosko is passionate about his food and culture and is eager to share it with people, so if you have a party coming up, give Bosko a call and see what he can do for you. Take Some Home: You can purchase a package of frozen sausages to take home with you. I forgot to ask if they come pre-cooked or if you grill them yourself. But either way, they would be a great addition to any meal you serve at home. Final Thoughts: Do yourself a favor. Come and partake of this oh so delicious food and I think you will find yourself wanting to come back again and again. The food. The ambiance. The value. The nicest people you'll ever meet. Old World Meat Company is the whole package. A five-star experience for sure.
