Amazing spot. Great tasty burger . Good drinks There outside patio is cool, they also have DJ on the weekends read more

Not bad. Love the combo of great drinks and simple burgers. Fish burger is a little dry and could use more sauce. But definitely the worst fries I've had. Cut thin and cooked to extra crispy leaving you with just a burnt cardboard kind of flavor. read more

If you want friendly service, great cocktails and food you should try this place! The Java hut fries hut salad and double hut burger are must tries! They have a dog friendly kid friendly backyard and a wonderful knowledgeable staff read more

When we arrived it was crowded (good sign) and were immediately told there would be a 30 minute wait after we sat down to order to receive our food. Not sure why it takes So long to receive a thin smash burger and fires? I will say the burgers and fries were delicious. Also, the where's Waldo shirts the servers wear were kind of funny, may I suggest a red polo instead? Only opened for about 3 weeks; hopefully they will iron out all the kinks and customers will be able to get food in a more timely manner, 30 min for a burger is just too long of a wait when you're hungry. read more

Ugh. No onion rings ? Tough night at this place . 2 cocktails & 2 hours in / out ( haha) got to enjoy a delicious dbl. burger . Give them some time to work things out or if you have a lot of time on your hands--go ? Last time I spent 2 ish hours in a restaurant- it was a 4 course tasting menu. Service was confusing and I had no idea where to go once I was inside the place? Couldn't stand at bar ? Couldn't sit down ? No one was seating anyone ? Let alone had no idea why I was waiting so long for a burger . I guess that's on me . So, I think they need to add a few more fuss ball tables ? Horse Shoes , Some video games ? A petting zoo? Overall , I cannot imagine having kids and waiting so long for food let alone just being hungry for a burger and waiting more than a hour for it ? What if I wasn't a boozer ? Man , that would really sucked . C'mon ,is this a bar ? Or a burger joint ? Or ? read more

Killer burgers and beers! Great new spot. Love the Hawaiian buns and fries too! Definitely a spot you need to try. read more

Amazing burgers, fries and drinks. Everything on the menu is great and is well worth the price! Service is quick and with a Encinitas smile! Great for kids, pups, late nighters and us chill locals. read more

A great burger place on the coast. Also serves cocktails - a major plus. Staff's always friendly, food's made to order and it's quick. Highly recommend! read more

I really wanted this place to be better than In & Out, Five Guys, and Habit, but they are not. Good burger, but just not amazing for a freshly made burger. Location is great for visibility but not great for parking if they are ever busy. I went on a weekday morning at 11 and there was nobody there. Nice indoor seating with a full bar...which is so strange imho for a place like this...whatever. ALSO, they do not take cash, which can be a pro or a con, just be aware. read more

Best smash burgers in the area. Best burgers hand down. Glad it's a short drive, or it would be dinner 4/7 night a week

Friendly staff, great drinks. Burger was better than other local spots. Smash style, cheese melted goodness.

Updated review!! They changed their menu. Now they offer a vegetarian burger (impossible meat), fish burgers, and gluten free buns. I'm glad they added these changes to help meet a more wide variety of dietary restrictions. They also decreased the price of the French fries - woo! I'm looking forward to going back when they have live music. read more

We have been to Hamburger Hut on three occasions. Each time we each ordered a double hamburger and shared French Fries. The burgers were paper thin and fried to a golden brown and served with tomatoes, onions, dressing, a tasty roll and lettuce. They were salted heavily, large, a bit greasy but tasty. We have not tried anything else on the menu other than soda. The place was clean and packed with regulars. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was good. read more

Cool place, amazing staff, really good cocktails and still the best burgers in North county by a country mile. I tried the impossible single hut today and I was shocked. It' s the best veggie burger I have ever had. read more

Well the burger and bun are great....That said overpriced and then unlike places like In-n-Out they hit you for anything added...$1 for grilled onion? I ordered the Hut burger and said I wanted mayo instead of the 1000 island 50 cents upcharge for a downgrade to mayo..I asked the counterperson what the logic was and got the old I just work here response. Server was cool and the place looks fun and music was NOT too loud...just prices seem high IMO $18 for a yellow tail sandwich seemed high...well gas is $6 a gallon 3 gallons of gas for a fish burger. Again the burger was good quality meat and the sweet Hawaiian bun rocked but not good enough for me to came back...too many other options in the area...just down the road in Carlsbad you can get a HUGE burger, fries and a drink at Tip Top for the price of one Hut Burger, More meat on it that the double hut and it is quality hamburger... read more

COCKTAILS. HAMBURGERS. GOOD music If your taste includes the top 40 hits of the 80s blasted at aggressively loud volume, then I suppose this place has good music. I could not stick around long enough to see if their cocktails or hamburgers were any good . read more

The food was a cross between smash burger and in-and-out. Their jabba fries were almost a direct ripoff of animal style fries. The ambience was good and they had a great DJ. However the service was terrible. read more

Hamburger Hut is a local place. You get the feel that you are family as soon as you walk in the door. People are friendly and talk with other nearby patrons. Hamburger Hut is small with a great bar area and a big for the small area seating. It is bright and clean. I believe it is a one of a kind place. Our burgers were delicious!!! They are slap style burgers either a crisp to them- in my opinion- the best type of burgers! The bun is a Hawaiian bun and the secret sauce is delicious. Truly one of the best burgers I have eaten. Fries are crunchy and the other patrons seem to devour them. My next visit will include a special frozen beverage from the quant bar! read more

Good burgers, I got that. Good cocktails, yeah I got that. Nice spot to hit up on the way down from LA. Definitely recommend the fish burger too when you want to change it up read more

Ate here today with the family and everyone loved it! My wife got the single lettuce wrapped and I hit the double double. Mine was better of course! Fries we solid and the kids meals too. Super friendly staff and the burgers were amazing. Great beer and cocktail selection as well. We don't treat ourselves like this too often but it we will be back!!! read more

Great place with yummy crispy burgers and fun atmosphere. Limited menu but what else do you need?!

Awesome. Elevated smashburgers with cocktails.

In N Out style burgers upgraded, deluxe and so delicious. They also have a fish option. Excellent cocktail bar. Best old fashioned around. Fun tiki vibe. read more

These guys know what they're doing. Super simple menu, burgers & fries executed perfectly every time. I've been a weekly regular here since they opened up in the new location & every time it's a great vibe. Tony the bar director is a real professional & his cocktail menu is on point. I'm a real sucker for great tiki cocktails & the Space Monkey fits the bill for me perfectly. Miguel already knows our order every time we come through & his service is friendly, personal, & professional. Can not recommend highly enough! Leucadia Co is a model hospitality group & I'm excited to see whatever they come up with next! read more

It is very yummy and the outdoor area is nice! The bathrooms are very clean and the food quality is impeccable. The best part was that we got to pick wherever we wanted to sit and the service was very nice and fast. read more

Used to be good when they first opened, then quality started slipping. I like to support local businesses however maybe time to crack the whip. I really like the ribs at the Moto deli location, I used to frequent the Moto deli when they served burgers at what is now Valentina. Sometimes a little feedback from the locals can be a good thing read more

Epic burger joint. My family always loves a good burger and trying new spots. Stoked on the new location, Cocktails and killer grinds. I always love supporting local businesses and spreading the good word. Highly recommend it. read more

Best hamburgers in San Diego! Really fun spot to enjoy cocktails and great food. I can't recommend Hamburger Hut enough!

Delish burgers & cocktails, great vibe and fun atmosphere. You won't be disappointed.

The vibe in this new Hamburger Hut is very cool. The burgers are great and they have a huge cocktail selection to choose from.

Burgers are very tasty, cool outside dinning area, good for kids, will defiantly return.

What is there not to love about this place?! Great smash burgers that are perfectly seasoned. , crisp fresh fries and awesome cocktails to go along with the meal. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to our next visit! read more

This place was worth the stop! Good food, best prices in Encinitas, wonderful atmosphere! Highly recommend it!

All the menu items are very delicious, along with the cocktails... and Hamburger Hut has an awesome "Old Encinitas" friendly vibe!!!

Cute! Imagine in n out, but better quality and there's a full bar. Outside seating in front and back

Hamburger Hut - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Encinitas, California

There is no logic for a simple cocktail to cost $17.50 at a restaurant where burgers are $7-$9. I would not recommend this place for drinks or burgers for that matter. read more

came in for a burger with my boyfriend on a summer evening around 8:30. ordered at the counter and then collected everything i needed myself (and later cleared and cleaned ourselves) even though they have many large tip options on the screen when you pay for your food, before you receive any service. at 9pm sharp the manager/workers blasted the most insanely loud music on the speakers with the words "you cant stay here" or something to that effect. all of the other 4 tables who remained stood up and left, most leaving their meals unfinished. i went over and asked a worker if this was a joke or are we being chased out before we could finish our food. the guy shrugged and didnt answer. it was very off-putting and weird. in all my decades of dining experience i have never encountered such rude, unprofessional, angry, immature behavior on the part of the manager and waitstaff. people dine later in summer when the light stays out, and a properly run business would have good customer service and tell their customers we are closing soon or give them a heads up or even a kind hint, like we are closed now but feel free to stay while we clean up. seems like this restaurant is completely in the dark about the service side of the biz and basic bottom of the barrel skills, like be nice to your customers, is missed on them. i would recommend going elsewhere for mediocre burgers and drinks, id give the food and drinks a C and the service an F. read more
