My visit to George's Burgers started off disappointing when we arrived shortly after 10am and immediately noticed a strange smell inside the nearly empty restaurant. There was only one cook and one cashier, and although the cashier was somewhat friendly, her attitude and expressions made the interaction feel uncomfortable. The food took a while to come out, the restroom was dirty with a strong odor, and the burgers tasted unfresh while the fries were just okay and the zucchini had a strange flavor. The chili cheese fries were especially bad, the chili tasted burnt, and after only a couple small bites we couldn't eat them. When I asked for a refund on the chili cheese fries, the cashier hesitated because we had taken a few tiny bites, and although the cook eventually approved it, the poor customer service and low food quality, we will never return here again. read more

A local staple for decades near the heart of downtown Escondido. This shop has been in business for a VERY long time, everyone knows about George's. It's been awhile since I've been and wanted to check them out. The menu has definitely expanded from Greek options to burgers, wings and pizza. It was slow and short staffed, one gal at the register and one cook in the back but it wasn't too busy for a quick lunch break run. Food was good, but it's definitely fluffed up by a lot of shredded lettuce, but a decently cooked burger. The fries were good, but I didn't notice too much of a different in the size of a small vs regular fry either. read more

Growing up my father used to take me here for burgers before an outing. I started coming back here in 2013 working down town. As an adult my food habits changed and they offer plenty of salad options as well carb overload plates if you're hungry . Service is always good. Dinning room simple and sweet and a view of Grape day park across the street. Sweet spot for families with the children museum next door. read more

I got the garden burger. My father got the wings: They did not have any coffee. I ways start with the fries, Which I slowly eat, then I notice an old trash still left over on the floor, everytime I take bite then continue to notice it. The burger was great, glad that this place cooked it the way I liked it cooked without even telling them how well done cook I liked it. I think this is almost the same as the Georges Burgers in San Marcos? Maybe a franchise? But all in all the food os great, the only thing that gets me is the dirty floor with the something that is just chilling. read more

I hate to leave a bad review because I genuinely really liked this place but this is disgusting! I had to throw away a recently opened salad because I found a dead fly In it and a bug on other side of the salad! Mind you this was about to be the first bite!! Who knows how long that thing was flying around in my food. For a place that charges $25 for a salad,fry and extra ranch (that they forgot to put in the bag) they need to pay better attention to their food and wash the lettuce! Sadly I was on my lunch so I couldn't go back in person. read more

George Burgers - Bugs - Burgers Near Me - Escondido, California

I've been coming here for decades, and saw they recently started offering pizza. Not just pizza, but Carne Asada pizza, I had to give it a try. I will always love the Gyros from here, and look forward to being on this side of town and visiting them again read more

Food is really good. You have a great mix of Greek and American food. They have pizza, gyros, salads, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and all the sides. This place has a small town feel. I didn't catch the name of the girl at the counter, but she was great. We would have made a mistake and ordered a large salad if she hadn't told us how big it was, so thank you, we don't like to waste food. Everything had such a good flavor, I hope we can get back while we are here because I want to try one of the burgers. Great little place read more

I'm back again and again because of the great food at a great value plus the staff is wonderful. Alejandra is a gem!!!!

What isn't there to like, a local ma and pa type vibe burger shop that offers a variety of well made and filling choices. The service is good, the staff at the counter are friendly, enthusiastic, and conversation engaging. The cook staff as well, has on occasion chimed into the conversation on the several, yes several times I have frequented this location. Thumbs up and recommended, if you are looking for a good and tasty burger they also have chicken sandwiches, fish and chips, salads, etc . All the usual suspects. Close at 8:30PM read more

Pastrami sandwich: Horrible, tiny bits of meat burned to charcoal and drowned in mustard.

This place has false reviews cause there ain't no way this is nearly a 5 star location. Was excited to come in for lunch spent $20 on a burger and took two bites before throwing it away. The meat taste like actual dog shit the whole thing just tasted off read more

George's in San Marcos is so great! The one in Escondido is not as good. Love the Fish in San marcos. Amazing. Great burgers too

Stopped here to have lunch one day. I must say, it reminds me of my favorite old style greasy spoon burger joints like Ox or Douglas Burgers in LA, it's great to have these out here in San Diego county too. Food was good, large portions and service with spunk and a smile. Place is small but accommodating. Keep this one in mind when you're out this way & want your typical no frills burger joint grub. read more

George burgers is consistent! However, for the price of the food, I would expect a better quality Patty and fresher fries. Gyros are the best! read more

This place was a favorite of mine because the Gyro was always great! The meat was always perfect, and it matters to me! Recently, 2 times out of 4, I would've went somewhere else altogether. This particular time the meat was cut super thick and chunky, only like 2 strips were the right thickness but not cooked well, or to that golden brown perfection. If this is normal for the "Gyro Sandwich" somehow, please let me know so I can update my review. I have ordered this b4 but mostly the get the "Gyro Salad". Seems like meat would be the same tho. Also, I don't remember these little mushy tomatoes either. There was way too much. Seemed like almost half ratio to meat. read more

After 10 years of not being in a George burgers I would like to say that I was pleasantly surprised we got there just after opening on Sunday and we were the first customers. The young lady behind the counter wearing The Nightmare Before Christmas shirt was very pleasing very helpful and the cook was a very nice guy and since my wife had just come out of surgery and was deaf they were very accommodating. We ordered a gyro sandwich and also a chili burger combo with chili fries and I must say that this food was excellent. The chili fries were amazing. Unfortunately due to my wife's surgery she became ill and she needed to use the restroom and there was somebody in there, the young lady behind the counter let us use the employee bathroom for this emergency which really showed me how much they cared. And I really appreciate the links that she went through to help me. So far I have not found any reason why anybody would not enjoy going to George burgers, we have been patrons since the original George burgers in the 1970s in San Marcos, and we we will be patrons for a long time ago. Thank you George burgers and the crew that works there for caring. read more

The food is alright..pretty good; the man at the front counter is really nice, and service was fairly fast on a busy day. I would definitely come back to try something new! No drive-thru, but lots of seating inside, and the option to-go. read more

We were in the area to take our son to the Children's Discovery Museum next door. Unfortunately, I didn't order/pickup the food due to our sleeping toddler -- I stayed in the car with him, while my husband got the food (service was a bit slow). They make a damn good garden burger! It was so simple, but they packed it with so many delicious and fresh ingredients. The fries were really good too! My husband got the chili cheeseburger (he said it was good) & we got a corn dog for our son (he picked at it much later). I would definitely grab a bite from George's again the next time we're in the area. Apparently they're adding falafel to the menu next week -- keep an eye out for that my fellow vegetarian peeps! There's lots to choose from on the menu (breakfast items too! + some Mexican/Greek goodies). read more

Super disappointed with the experience we had last night. Had a $60 takeout order for a grilled chicken salad and 3 cheeseburgers with sides. The chicken was so horridly overcooked the ends of each piece looked like rubber. And the patties in ALL the burgers were so overcooked it took effort to even chew them. My kids refused to take more than one bite. The restaurant was absolutely dead I was the only order at the time so being busy can't be used as an excuse, which makes the lack of effort the cooks put in even more pathetic. I do want to mention the young guy working the front was extremely friendly. So this review is strictly about the food. Definitely don't plan to come back any time soon. read more

It definitely changed it's no the same, my food was horrible and went to the bathroom to wash my hands since I'm eating there, and the bathroom was like walking dead apocalypse, awh!! So disgusting!! Graffiti everything looks broken and I don't understand if they want customers at least have a decent bathroom for customers, anyways not coming back ever, and I hope they see my post so they can improve to get good business in the near future. read more

Their food is always made fresh. Reasonable prices and quality you can taste! Staff are super friendly and welcoming. Walking distance from the Children's Museum, which is very convenient. I'll be back again when taking my son to the museum. read more

George Burgers - Cali BLT Sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Escondido, California

Georges is one of those classic spots that brings you back to a weekend with your favorite parent taking you out for a treat, a first date in junior high or going in for a quick bite and leaving with extras for the whole family. North county institution! read more

Stopped in last night on our way home from a busy day. Ordered a 1/2 pd. Cheeseburger and a pastrami with a large fries . When we got home and opened the bag we were shocked to see how few fries there were. The pastrami was pathetic. More bread than anything else . The burger was tasteless. It was $32 for 2 sandwiches and a very small potion of fries , none of which was worth going back for. Stay away...They should look around and see what their competitors are doing for a far cheaper price tag. read more

Honestly, great food, great prices. Can't go wrong. The Mediterranean food is delicious. You'd never think to expect that from a place called Georges Burgers but they kill it. The pita bread is addicting. The restaurant itself is a typical diner aesthetic. I always get my food to go though so can't touch on that much. The service is always great though, feels like your typical mom and pop shop. Honestly I always say, if you're going to spend money on a burger at McDonald's, don't, come here! read more

Nice people, friendly, a variety of food choices, good discounts too. And you can dine in or get it to go. Lot of seating tables, and if you trying to cut back on calories they have a few options besides some good salads too. It's a place for the whole family. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and desserts, are all good and the size of your meal is good too. So relax at one of the comfortable tables in this place and enjoy, or get it to go. read more

Their food is delicious. We always order the fish and chips (fries) and yesterday we asked for frings. They gave us two paper to-go trays full of fish and the other frings. Then we ordered a George's ABC burger (avocado, bacon, cheese) and my favorite zucchini fries. Which was amazing. We had enough food for a meal later at home. We have been a customer of George's for many years and we have never been disappointed. We give the a A+ read more

Service was great. The gentleman at the front was very nice and kind. Food wasn't amazing. I got a western and it was okay. My fiancé's pastrami sandwich was lackluster. Barely any meat. Also, drink refills cost extra.... read more

1/2 cheeseburger with mushrooms. Freaking amazing flavor. The fries are so crispy on the outside and flakey inside, and the ranch is that dinner style ranch that I love so much. Combo is $19 bucks and worth every penny. I'll be for sure coming back. read more

A solid four stars, just because . . . Really was pretty darn good. Standoutish! I haven't eaten at a George Burger in some years and I've never eaten at this Escondido location. I wasn't necessarily expecting this high quality of food, so I was definitely surprised. The serving sizes were very good. Fries and rings were overflowing in the bag. I had the 1/4 lb w/cheese burger meal. The burger was tall and well loaded with super fresh 'everything'. The fries were pretty much on point and the onion rings definitely rank up there. Service was really friendly and prompt. Much of the staff that was working the counter and behind in the kitchen seemed to know just about everyone (obviously repeat locals), and the (I suspect) manager was taking orders on the phone in one hand, calling out orders to the kitchen and filling different orders with the other free hand. He was pretty crazy to watch and seemed to be having a pretty good time. I think I may be doing this again when the next time I have my vehicle serviced next door. I will definitely try other menu options. Do stop by and give it a try. Dicks read more

So I was cruising down Broadway in Escondido contemplating lunch about a month or so ago craving something filling. I spy with my hungry eye a George Burger sign so I pull in to their lot across from Grape Park. Maaaaaaaaaaaan bingo bango did I score. Michelle was one of two girls ( Leslie was the shorter one ) that worked the front counter . Not only was she fast and efficient she knew all about the place. Bought in 1976 she knew who was who and when they became who !!! I thought that was pretty cool. Now the food. Be still my heart !! I asked for the biggest burger they had in a meal. I got what I asked for. A whole 1/2 pound of beef with fresh lettuce, cheese, onions and a sauce that I couldn't quite figure out. Not that I didn't know or had never seen it before, this burger was awesome !! I had officially found the best Hamburger in Escondido. I have eaten and yelped many a place in North County San Diego on everything from steak to Chinese food and beyond. It takes a special place to not only bring me back but brag about. This is the place. Accompanied with a huge order of fresh hot fries that came a little too salty for me and free refills I walked out stuffed and satisfied for less than $15. I have been back three times since then and I'm stuck on the food. Ya want the best burger for your buck......come here. I do now. Tony Valenzuela 760-497-1217. read more

This was my first time at George's Burgers. The food was okay, and the service was good (we had a take-out order). Unfortunately, when I got home, I prayed that the bug on the lid of the drink, that I was ALREADY drinking from was on the outside of the lid. Sadly, for both the me and the bug, he was on the inside of the lid. I cannot go back. I rarely eat out,....and this is why. Try it for yourself. Some people aren't bothered by a gnat or two in their food/drinks.... read more
