Service was great. Waitress was holding the place down by herself very impressively…read more I got the famous rosiemac burger double patty and it was very delicious however I think the cheese may have overpowered it and I think next time I would choose one without the cheese completely. Onion rings were ok. Nothing to rave about honestly. The seasoning on it made them seem nicer but I think it just took away from a good ol fashioned onion rings, they also added a seasoning to the ranch to pair with the onion ring and I wasn't a huge fan. Next time I definitely want to try a different burger and opt for the elote fries or no fries at all. I'm just happy to finally be able to cross this place off my list of must tries, lol. Looking forward to my next visit

WuzupWuzup! Location…read moreis fairly small, but does it pack that punch with flavor and great customer service. I've gone here several times and each experience has always lived up to the great expectation of each burger I've tried. Prices are a little up there given "the size" of the burgers, but you're paying for the ingredients and quality of it. The flavors of each burgers are truly incredible. Everything is fresh, cooked to perfection, and explained very well when brought to the table. I forgot the name of the burger I tried, but it was chicken based that was like a curry infused (it was yellow) and I thought it was a nice edition to the menu. Side note, you might want to wear gloves or eat with knife and fork as you'll be using a lot of napkins for sure (haha) I will continue to show the love for this place and enjoy this as one of my "special treat meals". Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Food wasn't anything crazy, like the decor. Was crazy good though, if you really want to add crazy to that part of the review. The burger was cooked to perfection and full of fresh ingredients that made my tastebuds happy! The onion rings were also cooked to a nice crispy, golden brown. Don't need to order the big burger unless sharing with someone else or if you are super hungry. The small portion filled me full. Definitely recommend if in the area.!

Its San Diego time again!…read more I have been to the original Hodad's in Ocean Beach, so during a staycay in the San Diego Gaslamp, I said I gotta hit up this location on Broadway. The portions are big and the quality of the food is very good. The breading and seasoning on the chicken was tasty AF. Secondarily, the burgers are 1/4 lb and a single is plenty for a normal person. Lastly, the rings were thicc and GBD. Unfortunately, we sat in traffic for 3 hrs from OC, when it normally takes 1 1/2 hrs: We were really hungry, and Hodads met our needs. Regarding the ambiance, its a bit grunge but np for me. The name has a whole lot of nostalgia in SD. The service was friendly & warm. Our food came out quickly. The only downside was the chicken & rings needed some kinda sauce, but otherwise everything else was great. Would def return the next time I am in the area.

I was worried we'd have to wait a long time for a table, but we were seated almost immediately. They clearly have a well-oiled machine that keeps things moving. My burger was delicious. It did start to fall apart after the first bite, but it still tasted amazing, so I didn't mind too much. We noticed almost everyone was ordering the onion rings, so we had to try them--and they did not disappoint. They were super crispy and perfectly crunchy. Next time, we're definitely getting one of the giant milkshakes we saw come out. They looked incredible!

Rocky's Burgers is a casual burger spot located in Pacific Beach, known for its juicy burgers,…read moresimple menu, and convenient location in a busy beachside area with a laid-back, local vibe. Pros: I got the half-pound burger with fries and it was really good overall. The burger was super juicy, well-cooked, and had that classic hearty, satisfying taste you want from a solid burger spot. The portion size was generous, especially with the half-pound patty, and the fries were a great side to round out the meal. The location in Pacific Beach is also a big plus. It's in a great area with lots going on, so it's easy to grab food and walk around afterward or make it part of a beach day. The overall vibe of the spot feels casual and fitting for PB--nothing overly fancy, just good comfort food done right. Cons: Since it's in a busy beach area, parking and crowds can be a bit of a challenge depending on the time you go. It's more of a casual grab-and-go or quick dine-in spot, so don't expect a sit-down restaurant experience with a lot of space or quiet seating. During peak beach hours, it can also get pretty busy. Verdict: Overall, Rocky's Burgers is a great spot in Pacific Beach if you're craving a juicy, satisfying burger in a fun beachside area. The half-pound burger and fries hit the spot, and it's a solid choice for a casual meal before or after hanging out in PB.

In this case, The Friendly deserves its recognition as a no nonsense establishment that embodies Bourdain's wisdom. Let's get into it. Cuisine: 5/5. The Dirty Flat Top Cheeseburger and any of their pizzas by the slice merit waiting in a short line. Who would have thought that a medium size smash burger could pack in the flavor without breaking the bank? It's simple. It's flavorful. And it's affordable. You can enjoy the burger while your pie is being prepared. I've tried a few of the pizzas and they're all solid, and still better than Lou Malnati's in Chicago. Look, when you're jaded from overpaying for whack burgers in L.A. (Wally's & Marvito come to mind), it's easy to be shocked back into reality by good food at reasonable prices. Beverages: 4/5. Beer. Sodas. $1 off if you shotgun the beer. Say less. Service: 5/5. No frills. No performative friendliness. Just a direct style of communication and the efficiency of the staff. Thank you! Buen provecho

This place is a rough diamond for certain, and I hope they never try to polish it up. My usual order is the Shitkicker burger, onion rings, and something on tap, though I've select a can now and again. The flavor of the burger never fails to satisfy, with perfect patties, melts cheese, and bbq sauce. So many burger joints do crumb crusted onion rings, so the Friendly's battered beauties are a treat of an alternative and always golden brown and crispy. I enjoy the patio setting, even in the summer heat, because there are usually enough shady seats to go around, and the family and dog-friendliness is a plus. Should I add the prices can't be beat? Enjoy the Friendly. Everything you want, nothing you don't.

A good size chicken breast breaded and with a good amount of buffalo sauce. Bonehead burger - you can have it single or double. However you want it!! It's a combination of smash burger and In-N-Out with boneheads signature sauce. Definitely juicy and delicious. If you're looking for a burger to fill you up. Definitely this is the burger to get. Bonehead tots - excellent choice for shareable meal. Tots with bacon and their signature sauce hits the spot. Bonehead wings - do the wing lovers. The buffalo sauce is spicy and wings full of meat. Great for 1 person or to share. One thing that we did notice is the service. They were very attentive. Being a family owned business they know how to take care of their customers. Definitely recommend them for your next lunch meal.

I did find some shelves in it, which were a little unpleasant, but at least I know that it's real pecans. It does have a strong bourbon flavor so it may not be the best for kids. To drink, I got the guava lemonade. I arrived with my pup and we sat outside. Everybody was super dog friendly. They brought a nice bowl of water for my guy.
