    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

I've gone here several times and each experience has always lived up to the great expectation of each burger I've tried.

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.

    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.

    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.
