Had a delicious hamburger and onion rings at the game. The produce in the burger is SO fresh. Nothing tastes processed. The meal was heavy and hearty which is nice because it was filling. The service was great and fast. You hand them your receipt and they give you your items right away. Plenty of good seating at the park to watch the game and enjoy your burger. read more

A solid food choice at Petco Park is Hodad's. We usually hit up the Mercado location on field level, but there are a few other locations around the ballpark. You really can't go wrong with the classic Hodad's burger that San Diegans have come to know and love. Add a side of those delicious wedge fries! The ballpark version sticks to the Hodad's formula and does it proud. read more

Hodad's - I am the Duke! - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

Hodads is known for their juicy burgers and great food, but the stadium location I'm sorry to say was quite a disappointment. The service was below average and it's annoying that they can't customize any food orders because all the burgers are pre-made and wrapped up ready to serve. I wanted to order a hamburger without onion, but that wasn't an option. I was prepared to pay ballpark prices for the food, but $18 for a lukewarm cheeseburger that tastes like cafeteria food is NOT a good value. The was expecting a juicy burger but instead found it to be a well-cooked, dry patty that lacked much flavor. Overall, I regretted getting a burger and wish I had tried one of the other restaurants in the stadium. read more

Hodad's - Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

Recently ordered cheeseburgers to go from Hodads downtown. They had our order ready upon arrival but it was soggy by the time we got home less than 10 minutes later. The bun being soggy ruined it for me. IMHO, there were also too many onions, but that can be easily fixed. After a few bites, I bit into something hard on my teeth and I'm not sure what it was, but I couldn't eat it after that and just thinking about it makes me nauseous. The person I was with really liked it and didn't have the same experience, so I added a star for that. To each their own. read more

I got the vegan burger at hodads. It was a frozen veggie patty with lots of nice fresh veggie garnishes. It was bland and dry so I smothered it with ketchup and mustard and that made it fine. The wedge fries were solid, though, and only $5 more. Step up Petco! read more

Living in Ocean Beach I am going to be a little bias of Hodads but being being able to get it while at a game or concert (Green Day was awesome) is amazing. The ballpark prices are a bit brutal but you expect that going in. Eating a Hodads burger while at the ballpark was great. They don't allow any modifications at Petco Park but that didn't bother me. Tomatoes are easy to take off. Lol. Even though I paid a pretty penny for my burger and fries, there was so much I couldn't even finish it. Gotta love Hodads! read more

Hodad's - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

First time trying Hodad's. Thinking we will try the actual restaurant next time to get the full experience. Overall, it was good! Service was fast and they let us get our burgers lettuce wrapped! The portion was a great size and wrapped good. Only feedback, is that it needs some type of "sauce". They offered ranch or bbq sauce on the side but I found this kinda odd. Yes, you could put mustard or ketchup on as well, but most burger places have their own type of burger sauce to put on them. read more

Fast and friendly service. Good food. Much better than the typical ballpark faire. They'll even prepare lettuce-wrapped. Our go-to dining choice for events at Petco Park. read more

Hodad's - Lettuce wrapped cheeseburger. - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

Stadium food will never be as good as a sit-in restaurant. But having Hodads at Petco Park is a great upgrade from their previous offerings. Everything is pre-made. So you don't get the freshness as you do in the restaurant. But they are pretty decent, especially the onion rings. Your order comes out very quickly. Just don't be shocked by the hijacked prices. read more

Fast service, great prices for a ballpark, and vegetarian/ vegan options! I'm typically more if a mock-meat fan, but Hodads vegan patty was pretty good. If you like toppings, you're in luck because my burger came with tons of onions, tomatoes, and pickles. Thankful for a vegan option at Petco Park! read more

Best burgers in town have moved into Petco Park. It's been a while since I caught a ballgame. So glad I'm taking time to enjoy baseball again in downtown San Diego. I've been to their locations in Ocean Beach and downtown (on 10th). Both have great menu options. The Petco Park location has a limited menu. But what they do offer is so spot on and fulfilling, you'll want to go back for more. I recently got the FTD Burger and a hamburger. Not both for just me, but sampled each for sure. Both burgers had patties that were thick n juicy and cooked to perfection. The hamburger was basic, meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion. They give you ketchup, mayo and mustard packets to suit your tastes. The FTD Burger had meat, cheese, onion rings, Mayo and pickles with bbq sauce. The sauce wasn't overly tangy, but had a nice flavor. Exactly how I like it. Also ordered a side of onion rings. Crispy and delicious! They have locations throughout the ballpark on each levels. Make sure you give them a try if you're craving a great burger while visiting the ball yard. Keep on Yelp'n! read more

I was extremely confused because Hodad's main location is amazing. But the Burger here was definitely sitting a while and was a 5/10 at best. Onion rings are okay but still not like real Hodads. read more

I bought the overpriced bacon cheeseburger and onion rings at the Petco Park stand, looking forward to having me some Hodad's (been to the OB location several times over the years) before the game started. They placed my purchase atop one of those flimsy POS beverage trays (I did not purchase a beverage from them). The tray was flimsy, as noted, and I made it to my seat carrying it with both hands. After parking my ass I began to indulge. I got through a couple bites and although it was decent tasting, it was lacking something based upon my previous experiences. After those couple of bites I made the mistake of not keeping both hands on this "tray" and lo' and behold the flimsy POS bent downwards and I was unable to stop my burger (and a few onion rings) from tumbling off and to the floor. I was pissed, needless to say, and took a photo (attached) of where it landed (behind the seat in front of me) for your visual enjoyment. What onion rings I had left were edible, but that's about it. On a side note the Padres left a stinker (aka pathetic loss) wearing those terrible/ugly looking Friday home game jerseys. read more

06/11/2024 6:40PM padres vs. Athletics 1st time ordering here during a padres game: Really like their ordering system and that it comes quick and ready to serve after you give them your receipt in the other line. Make sure you stand in the right line between order here and pick up. Ordered 2 FTD burgers, chicken strips & fries! & side of onion rings. Came out to be about $54, which is expected since it's conveniently located inside the park. Burgers were great i like the sauce it comes with and the potato wedge fries, the onion rings mightve been overcooked and kind of hard to eat but it could be an off day.. but overall super quick! 5 stars for ERICK A (Spell check) phenomenal service!! Super polite and patient when we were still figuring out what to order, gave us recommendations, even explained how the line worked cuz we stood in the wrong line lol, flagged me down when I almost forgot my receipt! OVERALL, he was the BEST employee that I've came across coming to petco park, and I've been coming here for a longggg time. read more

Not the greatest first time experience trying Hodads. Cashier didn't tell us we needed a receipt, so when we asked her for one, she gave us the wrong receipt. Luckily noticed the receipt was 2 burgers and fries, and our order 4 burgers and one fry - which luckily they corrected. Long line 40 deep and then about 15 people waiting for their food. Stand in a line to place an order, and then stand in another line to pick up; yikes. Got our food, could tell it was ice cold. Was trying to find sauce on it... couldn't find it. Maybe served plain? Literally got 8 thick slices of onions and about 12 pickle chips. Assuming to make up for the mid quality of the beef and the now cold cheese slice. The fries wedges were actually good. I'm going to guess Hodads at Petco isn't the best representation of the brand. It unfortunately is available at the Stadium, with the Hodads name attached to it, and I couldn't be more disappointed after this experience. Will definitely swing by the other locations sometime, read more

Had to have a burger while here for a Padre's game! There was a location on the concourse right by our seats which was really convenient. The staff was friendly, though the girl who took our order at the register seemed to be new and unfamiliar with the POS system. We were stoked to see that there was a vegetarian option on the menu for my partner, since not many burger spots have options on their menus for vegetarians/vegans aside from sides. We went ahead and ordered a vegetarian burger for her, I got the chicken tenders, and we shared an order of half order frings. Our food came out pretty quick and was fresh. The staff offered us plenty of dipping sauces and any other utensils that we needed. The food was great! Great vegetarian burger patty, and tons of toppings, making it a flavorful burger. The chicken tenders were nice and crispy, and the frings had an equal amount of fries and onion rings that were both fried perfectly. Great meal here that just added to the awesome visit to Petco Park! read more

Let me start by saying Hodads in OB is good, if not great on most occasions. Please do not let this review sway you away from eating at Hodads in OB. Now the look, it looks like a Hodad burger. You have 1inch thick onion, 1inch thick tomato slice and a beefy burger for $12.50. All your condiments... BBQ sauce, yellow mustard, mayo and ketchup.... BUT unfortunately your eyes will just be deceived into thinking that the Ballpark is actually going to have amazing food... nope wrong again. This was a complete let down. The burger had NO FLAVOR ... none... like an oily burger with no flavor. I even dipped in mustard and BBQ sauce... and it just wasn't even enough to give it flavor. I mean I get it... its the ball park... nobody is allergic to pepper and salt... pepper and salt does MIRACLES... unfortunately I saw no salt and pepper packets. It was very disappointing... their wedges were okay, it looked like it should have been flavorful but we ate one and tossed the others... So if you have no taste buds, love and onion/tomato burger... by all means hit up Hodads at Petco Park. If you want a good decent burger from Hodads, then hit up Hodads in Ocean Beach. The staff was friendly and efficient... you wait in line, place your order on the right side... you are given a receipt (and drinks if you ordered drinks) and told to go to your left (make sure not to walk into the pole and walk around)... It is at that time you wait in another line and give your receipt to the staff and they prepare your order... you grab your condiments and be gone. The tables are really cool... actual wood slabs with succulents in the middle. read more

Solid burger option at the ball park. Not as good as the OG location due to the limited menu but the burger was decent.

If im craving hodads I'll go to their original locations. read more

I had attended a Padres game against the Diamondbacks during my recent visit here with a friend. Prior to the game, both of us were hungry and I decided to get some food before the opening pitch. I went to Hodad's on the east side of the stadium just down the hallway from Section 114 where we were seated at for the game. I've heard so many great things and read a lot of great reviews regarding their burgers which are considered by some to be the best in town. However, the issue here isn't so much the food but more of the experience in receiving it which is the reason for the one star. The lines were steady and I had no problem approaching the counter. I ordered two cheeseburgers with a side of fries and onion rings which came up to around a whopping $45 after tax. I reluctantly paid and waited off to the side. The pick-up side was crowded and a source of frustration for those standing in the hallway waiting for their orders. It took about 10-15 minutes for our order to be called, but there were no chairs or tables for anyone to sit at. Some people sat on the floor or leaned against the wall while waiting as the crowds continued to grow. I told my friend to go ahead and settle down at our seats while I bring the food. This was a mistake. Once our order was called, we were given two cardboard holders for the burgers and sides, but had nothing to secure the drinks. A tray for all the items would've been convenient. I tried to look for my friend but she disappeared into the crowd and there was no way I was going to track her down in such a massive crowd before the game starts. Leaving the drinks behind was also not a good option with the massive influx of pickup orders piling up on the counter and the people huddled in front waiting. So I took a foolhardy approach and carried everything to the seats. This was a tedious and stressful experience and our seats were just down the hallway. I had to walk along the edge of the hallway carrying the two burgers with the sides stacked one on top of the other and the drinks cradled around my arm as I was going against the flow of the crowd. I had to stop at one point to place it on a bench to regain a secure hold. One person saw my situation and offered to help carry the drinks which I was struggling not to drop, to our seats. The stranger was very kind and didn't have to do this, but I couldn't take the chance of dropping the drinks along the way. I was very grateful yet very unhappy at the same time. By the time I got to the seats with the stranger's help, the food was slightly warm and it took several minutes of walking from the counter to the seats. The burgers were good, but disappointed that it was no longer hot. The fries and onion rings were nothing great and it was also slightly warm. At almost $50, this was not worth the trouble and effort to order from this location. Hodad's would benefit greatly if tables and chairs were added off to the side to dissipate the crowds waiting at the counter and serving trays would be a tremendous improvement for larger orders instead of having to carry them individually to the seats. Finally, a system should be put in place for customers to have the option of getting their food delivered to their seats like some movie theaters do instead of having to navigate through the crowds like I did. The consolation for both of us was that the Padres won big against Arizona that day and everyone went home happy. I would not recommend ordering food from this Hodad's due to the prices and until they make improvements on the issues I experienced. read more

Hodad's brings ballpark food to a whole other level. I enjoyed a cheeseburger and my friend enjoyed a veggie burger - solid option when the whole stadium was sold out of veggie dogs.

Hodad's - Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

I am mostly going to review my burger. Getting it was fine at the park because it was Tuesday taco night so everybody was getting tacos. I only waited about five minutes. So the burger was nicely grilled with some crispy edges. The size is not huge but perfect for me. I get mine sans onion but I do like all the veggies on it. My husband complained his tomato was thicker than his meat, but for me that's ok as last Ng as the meat is good and it was! I need more veggies in my diet anyway according to my doctor. But if you're looking for a thick burger go elsewhere. The potato wedges were cooked to perfection with a nice crispy edge. For me it's all about the crisp. read more

Long lines and confusing pick up station. Cashier was nice and friendly. I didn't think the $10.50 price for cheeseburger was terrible. But I did find the $9 price for bottle of Dasani water to be egregious. They only have single burgers at this location (no double patties). I requested extra onions and mayo. Not sure if there was extra mayo. The onions tasted fresh and delicious. The patty was over charred so had a burnt taste to it. The bun was grilled nicely though. This didn't ruin my fun time that evening watching the Dodgers v Padres game. A better pick of food choices just would have made that baseball evening perfect. read more

$50 for a cold burger.... Maybe if you wanna just to say you did? One star for the onion rings as part of the $50 meal deal

Bomb-ass burgers at a baseball park. It's a decent copy of their original location, minus the milkshakes of course. Anytime you put a storefront in an airport or stadium it's not going to be as good, and it will be twice as expensive. Overall it was great burger at a ballpark venue. Worth the price. Tips: - These messy burgers aren't the easiest things to eat while sitting in your seats. There are wet components and you'll need two hands to eat these tall burgers. There's not a lot of elbow room when eating in the tight ballpark seating. - I'd order it without onions. They give you about an inch of white onion slices.. - Onion rings are tasty but not worth the extra charge to upgrade. read more

Hodad's at Ocean Beach is where Woodstock meets ocean front. This laid back hippy culture may not be for everyone, but if you are looking for something different and want to try one of the largest, best tasting burgers on the planet, this restaurant is worth a visit. We received excellent fun customer service. I am however removing one point for a lack of restroom cleanliness. This place is a popular hangout for locals. In 2007 Hodad's was featured on Guy Fieri's Food network program "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" read more

Just got back from a padres game and had two cheeseburgers from Hodad's at petco park...the burgers were undercooked and it was all onions and pickles. nasty and a waste of $$. It is NOTHING like Hodads at pacific beach...more like it came from vons or something. GO PADRES! LFGSD! read more

Food was absolutely horrible. Burger was dry and cold. I asked for "no tomato" and they said "no specials". Seriously? Fries were undercooked and lukewarm at best. Burger and fries were $17 and inedible. Skip it, skip it, skip it. There are plenty of other places to eat at Petco that are much better. read more

0 stars if possible, pretty dang sh**ty. A stadium hot dog is better than this and on top of that they close at 7:30 and this is speaking on a Tuesday on the 28th of may. Nothing states that they close at that time and they do, just a fair warning for anyone who wanted to wait after the dinner rush, you can't. They close at 7:30 so you better be there before or they will close the shutters on you. I literally saw them do it to someone. All in all, if you wanna $45 for a burger, fries and drink you can get at the same quality of Douglas Burger, or less and if you and don't wanna burn the money instead go for it. read more

COSTCO FROZEN PATTY. Do not be fooled by this imposter. $88 dollars later for 4 hamburgers, 1 fry and 1 drink. Never again Petco. Stick with eating outside the park.

Hodad's - Hodads burger - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

Pros: 1) We love that we can eat one of our best burgers in San Diego at PETCO Park, and that they have 2 different locations within the ballpark so you're never too far to make the walk to one difficult. 2) The burgers are just as good as they are at their OB or downtown locations. Cons: 1) Price! I believe their burgers are $12 at the ballpark and $8.50 at their other non-PETCO Park locations. 2) Inability to hold pickles, or any other included item in the burger, customization just isn't possible with the number of patrons in line at the ballgame. That said, it's still a good thing... Despite the two Cons mentioned above, we'd rather have a Hodads location at PETCO with the mentioned shortcomings than no Hodads so kudos to them for having not just one, but two locations to buy one of San Diego's finest burgers while you root for our San Diego Padres. Keep up the great job Hodads!!! read more

Hodad's has been our "go to" burger place for 20+ years, but after eating their cheeseburger & fries at Petco Park, it's as if it were a different burger joint all together. The burgers & fries were dry, cold and tasteless (Burger King would've been tasted better); I ended up trashing the $14 burger because it was terrible!!! Customer service was NOT good - the staff was rude and acted as if it was a bother to place an order. In order to preserve the reputation that Hodad's has built over the years; it might be advantageous to have a Veteran Hodad's employee overlook the Petco Park restaurant - such a disappointment!! read more
