    Huge Cheeseburger
    Ms. M.

    I've seen this place pop up on my IG page a few times with great reviews, so while headed to San Diego, I decided to finally stop in and give it a try. It's a small, quaint little shop with walk-up windows and a few outdoor tables. The menu is pretty limited, and everything is à la carte. I will say, it's a little on the pricey side. I ordered **two cheeseburgers, a small fry, and a drink for $40**. I must admit, the burgers are HUGE, but unfortunately, they were pretty flavorless to me. They tasted more like a big chunk of ground beef without much seasoning or flavor. Overall, it was okay, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to stop here again. If I do return, I'd probably try another menu item to see if it changes my mind.

    Love stoping here when going on road trips! Been a fan since 2015! Best burger stop ever! Service is fast and the food is ready fast too so that's always a plus! Place has an outside seating and one bathroom for customers. It's a nice place but too hot when it's summer time. I will be coming back when I'm in area best burger I've had!

    No disrespect, but Nessy burger was Not worth the $14.00. The meat patty had chopped onion in it,which makes me wonder if that caused the burger to taste sour,the polish dog was topped with onion and tomatoes, also had a sour taste and smell,there were no bees near the drink machine and the bathroom was clean. I Do Not recommend this place for you, if you're looking for flavor and no chunky onion,lettuce and tomato. Not for me.

    $12.95 original Nessy burger and $5.75 onion rings.

    Impressive name, but an unimpressive burger, onion, rings, and experience! I remember eating here once, but it was a long, long time ago, and I remember it as being good, but this was actually gross! The burger is big but flavorless. Did not like the batter on the onion rings and they were so greasy! And then on top of that, the only available seating is outdoors, and they were inundated with bees and paper wasps everywhere! You had to shoo them away from your food, otherwise your next bite may come packed with more than bland flavor! Not a great experience! I understand why the Loch Ness monster is in hiding! On top of a bad experience, they spelled her name wrong!

    I grabbed a burger and shake to go but couldn't resist eating some in the car before continuing my drive. The burger is huge and the chocolate milkshake is fabulous! It's a good old-fashioned shake with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup and even had a cherry on top!

    We were in the area and heard this was a must. It's ok here. I had the sirloin steak burger. It was good but not worth the price. Family and Nessy burger and chicken breast burger. I was not as impressed/ the fries though are really good. They serve huge on fries. Fresh and not salty.

    On the way home from the OC we decided to pick up a couple of Nessy Burgers with fries and Onion Rings. The service was quick and our order was perfect. The outdoor seating was enticing but we wanted to bring our meal home. Being a small building, you would never think it provides great food. This venue has the best Burgers in the IE. If you get a chance and love good burgers, this is an absolutely must visit.

    Frozen fries, but decent serving. Good burger but wouldn't drive past jacks to get it. A bit out of the way.

    Onions in the burger patty. Some people don't like that but if you like onions then boom. Super good. Chili fries too.
