OK Place. Music blaring, hard to have a conversation and would not recommend taking anyone for a reasonable conversation. I've gone there a couple times alone and with a guest. Hamberger every time. Hope this joint makes it past first year. As a local I have seen over 15 different joints go in and out of this corner within a year or two. If you want a truly outstanding burger, try the Bullweavel on Wintergrdens in Lakeside. It is the best burger that has been around for over 40 years. read more

Mixed news from me I'm afraid - party of 4 adults Saturday 1/28 around 6pm. Positives: great burgers and fries, really loved them, also very good service from our busy helper (didn't get a name), and great drinks selection. So why the indifferent score? (Side note, it's a "family friendly" place so a little chaotic with kids running around off the leash etc, but we understand having had kids of our own etc). However....... Negatives: It was really hard to find a seat away from intrusively loud "clubby" music! We managed by hiding away round the back, not ideal on a chilly night, but the music being pumped into the restaurant was WAY TOO LOUD!!! When we walked back through (around 7pm) to leave we noticed diners having to get close and shout at each other to make conversation over the ridiculously loud generic club dirge blasting across the room. I'm pretty sure we decided that was a bad idea in 2020? If this volume is normal I'd urge the accounts people at HH to start reserving for the staff class action lawsuit that will come once tinnitus cases inevitably arise. Also I'll bet there's a health and safety code against exposing staff to loud noise for hours on end. It's such a shame because the fundamentals of food, drink and service are all good - but we won't be back to be deafened any time soon. Sorry! read more

So I went with my friend and my 2 dogs, since it's dog friendly.. and I was not happy when there was a big group of parents and children who were allowed to run around screaming and breaking glasses while their inattentive parents ignored them. When my dogs were so scared they wouldn't come out from the table, I had had enough.. and left. The waitstaff was sympathetic but said NOTHING to the parents. When one of the men said very snotty, " you better leave this is a kid's restaurant ". Well it's also an adult and a dog restaurant! It isn't Chucky Cheese!! What a jerk... I will not go back... maybe learn how to raise respectful children... but that's not gonna happen. read more

Usually when I write my reviews, I'm one to take pictures. For this one, I forgot to with how indulged I was with the amazing atmosphere and customer service. The burgers are smash style so if you're hungry (hangry even) I'd suggest the double hut and some fries. If you're down to take a cocktail or two I'd try the Yacht Club. The food was phenomenal but what made our experience worth another visit was the company of Everett and Gary. Considering it was our first times Everett was extremely helpful with guiding our order. Sitting at the bar definitely made our experience here amazing from the drinks to the food to even the small talk. Definitely planning on coming back again soon- we're hooked! read more

One of my favorite places to eat in North County. Burgers are great, fries are too skinny and sometimes overcooked and dry (but I like them thicker). Good beer selection and great cocktails! Sometimes there is a DJ on Saturday nights. read more

5/10. This place is just not as good as In-N-Out but its not bad either. I have nothing else to say.

The food was fantastic. My husband and son both ordered the Double burger. As soon as they were done, they ordered ANOTHER!! It's THAT GOOD!! We also tried the Poke. It was excellent (don't assume this burger place can't do fish!!!). The drinks were equally great. I suggest just sitting down, settling in, keep a menu and chill. Try everything. My 4 star review is only because the place wasn't full and the service was STILL super slow (?!). Maybe it's a beach thing, Anyway, go here. It's awesome! read more

Burgers and service was great! They have the best pickles in North County! Skip the line at In-n-Out and grab a slushie at the bar while you're waiting for your food! read more

Exceptionally good burgers. Nice outdoor seating area. Free Pac-Man game for kids. Highly recommend.

Man, that Fish sandwich slaps! They must have affiliation with mikkideez cause the fries are on the level. Weekend vibes are are really fun with Live vinyl DJs fri-sun. Cruise out and check it if you haven't already!! read more

Hamburger Hut - DJ ABBY NORMAL - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Encinitas, California

Great burger and fries. They have gluten free buns if you need them. Friendly service. We'll be going back there.

The quality has gone downhill since their first few months of opening. We ordered the classic hut and the patties were very well done, close to being burnt. We asked the people next to us if theirs were cooked the same and it was. Our order took 30 minutes to come out and there were 2 people ahead of us. Seems like the cook took his sweet time flipping burgers. If the place is called, Hamburger Hut, they should be really good at making a burger. There's absolutely no reason for me to come back. Ditch this place and go to in-n-out. read more

Hamburger Hut - Burnt, charcoal patty. Waste of money. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Encinitas, California

Hamburgers are delicious, every time. Fries are great too. We go here weekly. The staff is really nice and welcoming, it's a very family friendly atmosphere. I love how dogs are totally welcome, they have a nice patio. We also go here for the cocktails, Sammy makes super good tiki drinks. read more

This place is amazing. Partner and I drove up from Hillcrest/ University Heights area for lunch and so worth it. We brought our pup and sat out on their doggo/ kiddo friendly patio. Outdoor vibes v chill. Burgers were delicious, drinks were amazing and salad was very fresh. Can't wait to come back and show this gem to HC/ UH folks. 12/10! read more

First time at hamburger hut and the service was amazing! Not only was Sam informative and gave great recommendations, but the cocktails he made were the best I've had in Encinitas! The vibe here was perfectly chill and comfortable, yet fun and lively! Definitely coming back. If you come here don't forget to ask for Sam! read more

On the way home from dinner and stopped in for a drink. Very respectable craft beer and wine menu. The cocktails are unique and flavorful. Our mixologist, Samuel, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Who would have expected such a great little bar in a hamburger joint! We will definitely return to see what other creations they have to offer. Next time, we'll try the food as well. read more

Food, Service, and Ambiance were all great!!! I'm excited for north county to have a cool cocktail bar with good food. Plus they serve food late read more

Sammy was the best! The kind of bar you want to hang out at good drinks good food but even better vibes!

Delicious burgers. Fun vibe. Would love more wine options! Perfect spot for families with kids.

This place just can't seem to get it together. They have good food, but they act like they just opened for business. Why is there a line of 7 people trying to order food with only one person at the front taking orders? It takes 20 minutes to order food... get another register going. Staff is just standing around while one person handles orders. Further, their online ordering app is terrible. It's not easy to use and you can't order food easily so everyone waits in line trying to order food Vs doing it remotely. It's 2023... get your act together and make it easy to take a consumers money. I don't get it? Why have a QR code on each table if no one knows how to order food? Not coming back with how disorganized the customer service is. Truly disappointing. read more

We paid more than double what we pay at In & Out for the same thing. No wonder we were the only people in the place. I really wanted to like the place since it is a close walk from our house. But it's nothing special. We won't be going back. read more

The food is so good like the best burgers I've ever had. It's like in and out but 10 times better! The service is great people are nice and chill atmosphere. read more

We visited hamburger hut for the first time. We bumped into the supervisor Arash. He was soooo friendly. It was an amazing experience talking to him. How passionate he was about hamburger hut. And also recommending us drink off the bar. I will surely visit again read more

Basically In n out with inflated prices but with more salt. The worst bartender I have ever encountered, just completely ignored us. This place does NOT deserve to be in north county, especially Leucadia. read more

So excited the new location opened! Went today with the fam.. it was even better than I remember. First off, the staff was so friendly and on top of it! We all got burgers, fries and the salad on their super short but sweet menu. ( I love a small menu!) Everything was amazing. Got the double burger with grilled onions and it was cooked perfect. Fries on point. Salad was delicious. Everyone kept checking on us to make sure all was good. Excellent customer service. The new location has a full bar, so I can't wait to go back and try some of their delicious sounding cocktails! They did and awesome job with the new space. Two thumbs up. read more

Been here once before and had a great experience so rallied the family to try it together. Upon entrance I could tell the business was at high capacity, so I ordered the food to go and a couple of adult beverages while we waited. My husband pointed out those after us received their food first and shortly after we received a partial order for our food to go. I communicated with several employees trying to get the rest of our order and it wasn't resolved until I connected with the manager who was quick to respond. I can't give the business 5 stars but I would give Gary, the GM 5 stars for his customer service skills! read more

Want a great tasting burger?, get one here! Atmosphere, bar, food, everything is what you would expect !

I was driving on the coast 101 from Solana Beach because traffic was so bad on the 5 north . I was dying for a hamburger and stopped in the Hamburger Hut. I've lived her all my life and don't know how I've missed this place. Small, clean, friendly with a small bar and a few tables. Loved the decor especially the texture weaved ceiling and walls. Ordered a double burger with everything-- to go. Hands down, the best burger I've had in a long time. Moist, sloppy, cheesy, abundantly beefy. Pure heaven. Far more delicious than any drive-thru quality. This is the real thing. I'm definitely going back. read more

Burgers are amazing and such a great vibe. The lady at the counter was so sweet. I think her nickname is "Mama Hut". Fun environment and they were busy. Hard working lady and still a pleasant person. You can tell she loves her job and really likes people. We are big fans of Hamburger Hut. Definitely will be back, we just found our "local joint". read more

Burgers are fabulous! Cicso is the man! Mama Hut is the vibe and the best!!! Best spot in town!

Inn n out is considerably better in all aspects (service, taste, price). Don't come here for the burger or fries.

One of the best burgers I have had in North County. Great drinks, nice patio and big parking lot! I will definitely return soon.

OK, so far starters, we, with some friends are on the search for the best burger (with a beer) in North County...so this was our latest stop. Truth be told, I don't eat meat, but the other three do, so...Their reviews on the burgers...small, but the Hawaiian roll was a nice touch. Our friends ordered the Jabba fries (meat, sauce etc on top). They came out cold, but a server took them back and came out with a fresh batch of hot fries! I had the Hut salad...nothing special...a pile of spinach, a few thin spiral cut beet pieces, dates, a few northern beans and a sprinkling of quinoa...but for a burger joint, I was just happy to have something other than fries for me. Oh and those fries were very good. Hot and well seasoned. The beer selection was lacking. They had a bunch of taps, but only six beers to choose from the evening we were there... There is a nice backyard area to eat, but the whole place is very loud, so don't come if you want to have a conversation inside or out back. That being said, it would be a great place to bring the kids! read more

Very good burger, I loved the Hawaiian bun. Fries were crispy and were large enough to share with my kids. The fact they have a kids burger is nice! We all enjoyed ourselves. Worth a try! read more

Disappointed here as I like the other restaurants from this group. Unfortunately, between the food and service, I would not go back. The burger was so oversauced it was fully soggy. Fries tasted frozen. Cocktail was mediocre and oversweetened. It took our server over 40 minutes to get to us - and the place was half full. read more

Hunger hut has changed my life: This is the greatest burger place I have ever been too. I got it once on a short road trip and I've never been the same. Every burger I eat now is just average compare to hamburger hut. They masterfully have created such a perfect, simple burger that' I crave to put my hands on again. /10 read more

I wanted to leave a better review because the burgers are very good and reasonably priced. However, the bathroom was disgusting (no excuse, the place was quiet) and the beer list was BORING. Yes, they've got a full cocktail bar but they had 5 beers on tap and nothing special. With all the great beers available on the 101(including at HH's sister restaurants), you need to step up your game. read more

This place was terrible! One of those smash burger places where they cook the meat until it's burned leaving zero flavor! What a wast of time, gas and money! read more

Amazing. Unsuspected gorgeous interior. Loved the food, loved the cocktails. Extra points for having an impossible smash burger! Love!

We have been there twice since it reopened. We really like the burgers. Friendly staff. OK prices. I think we may be regulars. read more
