    Half of a RomBomb single and half of a Western single - so good!
    Pam B.

    RomBomb serves up some 'feel good' burgers; you know the kind that you can just tell they were made with love? My most recent experience with them was a pick up order from this location. I usually stick to singles, so it perfectly hits the spot without feeling too full. But if it were at a brewery or some of their other pop-up locations, I would probably have less control and go for seconds. I think their OG RomBomb is the star, but you can't go wrong with either of the burger choices. Tots are a nice touch too, bc they stay crisp and are seasoned, also with love! I love me a small business with quality products, and San Diego, this is it!

    Let's call it a six. I've had this burger half a dozen times now and it just gets better and better. Especially with a cold beer. It's the definition of simplicity. Two perfectly cooked smash patties fried with shoe string onions and placed on a potato bun with a house made secret sauce a la thousand island with hints of sweet relish and possibly a hit of A-1 sauce. And always cooked to order right in front of you on an old school cast iron stove. It is all you need in a burger.

    They mainly have an Instagram presence, and I did not have an instagram account. But I heard such good things about RomBombBurger from other San Diegans and food blogs that I created an account just so I could try them out! I think they are a pop-up/food truck, because you essentially place your online order between Friday - Tuesday, for pickup on Wednesday. - RomBomb single burger ($6): So this burger has shown up on multiple BEST BURGER lists in San Diego. We have been trying the burgers on the list and have mainly been disappointed, but this burger exceeded expectations. Perfectly seared smash burgers topped with grilled onions, tangy sauce for contrast against the creamy cheese, housed in a soft fluffy bun. And just look at the price, which is lower than any other burger on the top burger lists. We purchased 6 burgers and ate 3 that night. The remaining 3 were reheated for lunch the next day (and still delicious!). - Tater tots ($3): Delicious crispy tots that were seasoned to perfection! Rarely do I eat fries or tots without dunking it in sauce, but these were so flavorful that I did not even need the side of sauce. As a note, they sent out the google maps link for directions to their new location, but my phone still took me to the wrong side. So I was walking around a church's parking lot, able to scent the grilled onions in the air, but unable to figure out which direction to go. The entrance is on the KEARNY VILLA RD side, and you message them on instagram when you have arrived.

    Romin is the besttttttt!!! His smash burgers are delicious and a crowd pleaser!! We had him come cater our daughters birthday a few years ago and he came back this year to cater my sons birthday! All the kids and adults loved every burger and we enjoyed the leftovers the next day! he is organized, punctual, fast and friendly! His burgers were made to order and his special sauce and grilled onions are delicious!! Thank you Romin!!

    The cheesiest, greasy (in a good way), best bites of burger you will ever have. Seriously such a good pop up, consistently great each time I've had them.

Our orders were taken quickly, and large waters with lemon were brought out to us. Our burgers came out in about 7 minutes and they were just what the doctor ordered. :) My chicken burger was especially delicious, and I'd asked for extra pickles, and let's just say that the Hodad's chefs did not disappoint. There had to be at least 15 pickles on this bad boy. YUM! Onion rings were crispy and delicious. M. loved his burger and as usual, his only complaint was that he wished it was bigger. Haha. We enjoyed our food and the fun, kitschy Hodad's dining area. I feel like every time I come here, I spot something on the walls, or dangling from somewhere, that I haven't seen before. It's always a good time at Hodad's and it is certainly worth a visit if you haven't been here before. Keep in mind they do have a limited menu (burgers, chicken burgers, veggie burgers, fries, rings, shakes & some beverages and beers.) However, the table next to us ordered shakes and they looked hella good. Next time for us, for sure!! Mahalo!

First off, if you're in San Diego, this should be your only must-visit. I rarely go back to places I've already reviewed, but Hodads is a MUST, non-negotiable!!! The dining room is not fancy and looks like a teenager's bedroom with stickers and license plates adorning the walls. While the burger speaks for itself, whether you get the mini, reg, or double, the patties are thick, juicy, with fresh veggies and a soft, sweet bun to soak up those juices. This goes for the onion rings too, that don't seem to come out of the dryer in a bag. At the end of the day, the service was fast and friendly and carried the ocean vibe a Cali burger joint should have. I even picked up my Hodads T-shirt to probably advertise on my travels! My only question and curiosity is in the fries. I'm not a fan of wedges, and I feel like my last visit, they were thick-seasoned traditional fries. Fries or wedges, it will never change how I feel about Hodads!!!

    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.

It's always popping up as one of the best burgers in San Diego. The vibe in the place was cool. Bustling and music blasting. I look around for the menu. Not easy to find. I guess it's one of those "if you know you know" but then I saw a small chalkboard that listed the burger and a tiny printout pizza menu way in the back. I order a burger and coke. So pumped to try it. I ask for no onions and the guy at the register immediately cops a huge attitude like I ruined his day. He points at the chalkboard and says "no substitutions". I reply "no biggie! I can scrape em off or something" dude looks pissed and says "they're hard to scrape off" I know reading this I may sound unreasonable. Maybe dude was having a bad day. But the way he was looking and speaking to me made me want to walk away from the counter not bother ordering. If you are great at burgers but not customer service maybe stay off the register and stick to the grill. My friend with me goes "not very friendly for a place called the friendly" so it wasn't just me. The burger comes out. Honestly I'd bet on a good day it's great. But today it wasn't. Overly greasy. Ironically all of the onions slid right off so I'm not sure why he feels it would be too difficult for me to remove myself. The burger could barely stay in the bun it was so greasy. The aioli spread was all on one side of the burger and it was a mess. I'm not sure if maybe this place used to be great and since has declined, or if the staff was just having such an off day that it reflected in the effort of the food. Or if the guy just had some issue and felt like taking it out on us today. But needless to say. There's plenty of amazing smash burger places in San Diego. Excited to try somewhere else.
