    Delicate, crispy Baklava
    Betty C.

    Everything smells and tastes fantastic here; their fried mushrooms and gyros are epic, never dry, perfectly seasoned, very moist because the chef sprays moisture on the lamb as he grills it. Now, I know Im not supposed to have Baklava, but the way the lady gently tongs it onto a pretty napkin before bagging it gave me goosebumps, and I had to see it again...plus eat a bite. Wowwww my tastebuds are dancing

    Bacon, eggs, potatoes with sour dough toast.

    The breakfast latter with, home fries, scrambled eggs with onion, bell peppers, and cheese, plus 6 slices of bacon with sourdough toast was awesome. The service was very good and the atmosphere was quiet. That's enjoyable.

    Bacon avocado burger w onion rings
    Dave L.

    Wow!!! The staff is SO friendly! Food was great too. I had the bacon avocado w onion rings on their recommendation and they didn't steer me wrong.

    A 3 egg breakfast, breakfast potatoes, and 4 slices of bacon, with toast not seen.
    Rodney G.

    I really enjoyed this place. It reminded me of breakfast at home. My eggs and bacon cooked to perfection. The bacon is crispy and flavorable. The potatoes seasoned and cooked crispy. The service was great, and the time received food was acceptable. I overall give this place 4 stars. A must try if you are in Oceanside.

    Food is good, sadly prices have increased considerably. Many sandwiches used to come with fries but no more.

    Okay OMG... Tanner's Prime Burgers might honestly be the BEST burger place we have ever been to!…read more This place is so much more than just a burger joint. There are tables inside, comfortable bar seating, and outdoor seating, so you can enjoy it however you like. It's a restaurant, a bar, and even a great spot to watch a game with a good burger and a drink. And their menu goes way beyond burgers! Unlike most burger places, Tanner's has coffee, their own beer, homemade lemonade, cocktails, house-made sauces, and even beef tallow that you can actually buy to take home! I mean... how cool is that? Of course, the burgers are the star of the show. Their Prime beef smash burgers have those amazing crispy, caramelized edges while staying juicy and incredibly flavorful inside. You can really taste the quality of the beef, and every ingredient comes together perfectly. It's the kind of burger where you take that first bite and immediately look at each other like, "OMG, this is GOOD!" And we couldn't leave without trying the chocolate milkshakes. They were thick, creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious--an old-fashioned milkshake exactly the way it should be. Seriously, every sip brought back that classic milkshake feeling. The atmosphere is fun, relaxed, and welcoming, and the whole experience just feels like Tanner's really knows what they're doing. From the food and drinks to the atmosphere and service, everything comes together beautifully. Tanner's Prime Burgers is definitely one of our new favorite spots in Oceanside. If you're anywhere in the area and love a great burger, do yourself a favor and stop here. Come hungry, because you're going to want to try more than just the burger!

    The devil is in the details right? You can have great ingredients but to make a burger truly tasty…read moreit's how you bring it all together. Tanner's does an excellent job executing the smash burger. One of the best I've had! The patty was well seasoned and nice crispy texture. The bacon adds smokiness. The brioche bun is soft and light. It does not dominate the bite like so many bad burgers. And the tallow fries??? Pure ! The fries reminded me of the original MacDonalds fries cooked in beef tallow. But way better execution. Crispy and cooked just enough. The size was perfect. And the salt the used amped the flavor. Super good!!! Overall the food is 5 stars. The overall setting is perfect for burgers. Everything is open air so the place stays cool on a hot day. Lots of seating. Service was efficient. In this place moving quickly and turning tables is a must to keep the line moving. Overall 4 stars for setting. I must warn you there are lines. You will wait. And when it is sunny it gets brutal right before you enter the ordering area. There are umbrellas so use one if you don't want to get burnt. And the parking is good if you ride your bike. But there are places to park in the neighborhood. I will be back. The burger and fries are too good not to!!! PS Try their house lager . Just a great example of the brew and perfect for hot days.

The burgers were phenomenal! The blue cheese was sooo good! The truffle burger was incredible! I thought the Better Mac would have been my favorite, and it was still good, but surprisingly, it wasn't my fave over the three. The chicken sandwiches are HUGE but I wished the tenders were tossed in the sauce/seasoning. They add the garlic parm on top of the tenders as they're assembled on top of the bun, so it doesn't completely coat the tender. IMO, it would be more flavorful tossed. However, the aioli sauces are just so delicious and to kill for! Even though this is also a smash burger leave, their burgers aren't thin and had a lot of bite to them! They're so worth it and hands down much better than across the street!

I instantly set a reservation (didn't really need it) and we arrived around 4pm on a Tuesday and sat on the patio. Happy hour is daily from 4-6pm and if you sit on the recently renovated patio, drinks are 50% off. I ordered the Ribeye as my birthday entree and we also ordered the Fried Zucchini ($7), Popcorn Chicken ($9), Guajillo Braised Pork Shoulder ($21) and several cocktails ($7 each during HH). Everything was great honestly. No complaints. My wife REALLY loved the braised pork shoulder. My steak was excellent and even though it was free, $32 for a ribeye is the lowest you'll find anywhere. It was nice having not having to fight for a seat. Enjoying a cocktail on the patio in perfect weather is something everyone should try.
