Small place located off Los Coches road. Friendly staff. About 6 tables for dine in. You can see the magic on the grill while you order. We ordered the single classic and double classic, with fries and a fresh lemonade. Burger was cooked to perfection. A real smash burger. The burger had good flavor and toppings were perfect. Good size at a good price. The fries were cooked perfectly with the right amount of crunch and salt. Served fresh and hot. The sizzle shack lemonade was perfect for the hot summer day. I highly recommend this place. A simple menu of burgers and great also do all day breakfast. I give this place a 10 for 10. A must try. Will definitely fine back again

New to me. Right off the 8 Freeway in Lakeside. Lupita was friendly and helpful. Very clean restaurant with 4 tables of 4 seats. Opened about 1 year ago. Tried the sizzle burger, fries and a chocolate shake. My plus 1 had a California Burger. The burgers are smash burger style and made to order. The verdict-Delish! It's like if In and Out and Smash Burger had a baby. Chocolate shake for dessert and it's a winning combo!

I went to Sizzle Shack the other day when I was looking for some lunch. My coworker and I walked in and were greeted by the cashier, who I think might have been the owner. He was super nice and polite, explained the restaurant's concept, and even recommended some fan favorites. I went with the classic with some fries, and my coworker got something else. The burger was so good and tasty; it was cooked perfectly, and the fries were great. He makes a homemade ranch sauce that's really tangy and full of dill, but it still tasted really good. We'll definitely be back!

The place was nice and clean. No public bathroom even for customers. The sizzle burger was tasty. Hit the spot while I was doing laundry. The chicken sandwich was good too BUT it wasn't really a chicken patty but one chicken tender. I don't have a problem with them using tender instead of a patty but just a single one wasn't enough for the sandwich. Way too much bread. Either use 2-3 tenders to fill the whole bun OR serve it as a chicken tender hot dog in a hot dog bun.

Updated menu includes chicken sandwiches.

MOVE OVER, In 'n OUT!!! Sizzle Shack has moved IN & came to impress!!! Not a drive-thru, not a chain, and not a frozen patty in sight! Mike, the owner, talked to me about how important it was to him to find quality ingredients that tasted good. He took his time to create a sit down burger spot that stands out in quality and flavor. From the hand-scooped milkshakes, to the freshly ground (in house) beef and lightly breaded (not frozen) chicken to the hand made Sizzle sauce, everything was curated for a no-frills, yet yummy experience. The simple dining room is clean and inviting. No soda fountain, but if you decide against the milkshakes, there are bottles of Coke products. The menu isn't overloaded with unnecessary items, just enough to make your mouth water. There is a burger of the month for something different. Today, we chose the California burger, the chicken sandwich, Sizzle fries, a vanilla milkshake, and a chocolate chip milkshake. Everything was so tasty, I had to ask questions. Which is how I learned about Mike's search for the right ingredients. Let me tell you, nothing was greasy or overdone. Everything was tasty & perfectly cooked. Even the pickles were perfect. The chicken surprised us, it was so light. Most chicken sandwiches are overbreaded, over- seasoned, or are greasy. This was lightly and not the slightest bit greasy. He buys them pre-made, but not frozen. According to my wife, this was the best chicken sandwich she's ever had. The smashed patties in the burger were a perfect touch. Happily, my burger was delicious and the right amount of messy, meaning, they don't skimp on anything. There was enough smashed avocado to have some in every bite. The Sizzle fries were crispy, cheesy, messy goodness from the first fry to the last. The sauce is also made in-house. Crispy fries, grilled onions, cheese, and Sizzle sauce make this a yummy sidekick for your burger or sandwich. Even with the milkshakes, our taste buds & tummys were completely satisfied!

This is a great hidden gem in San Diego County! While hamburgers may appear ordinary, this place makes them special. We were told they fresh grind all their meat, and that attention to detail shines through in the final product. You can taste the actual beef along with their "sizzle sauce," and condiments. My mom and I had the "sizzle burger," the entry-level burger, but it was hugely satisfying. My husband opted for the monthly speciality, the jalapeño popper burger, which he said lived up to its name. There's also the option to add more patties, which we may consider next time. Seeing as all the fast-food places are charging double digits for their burgers and are mass-produced, this is where you want to put your money - and support a small, local business. The French fries were thin and fried perfectly. We saw other customers ordered milkshakes, which were blended upon request - we'll have to try them next time! Seeing as all the fast-food places are charging double digits for their burgers and are mass-produced, this is where you want to put your money - and support a small, local business. They're kind of tucked away in the corner of a tiny strip mall and behind a gas station, but definitely worth seeking out!

Have you ever received something and you can tell it came from a professional? Like, the craftsmanship just speaks for itself. Strange to think of a burger like that, but you can taste the freshness. The burger and fries were cooked to perfection. The burger was so good, that after I was done, I wished I was still hungry so I could go order another burger, but, alas, I was full. I will definitely return. 5/5 does not do it justice, this is a 10/10!!! The restaurant is clean and has a small area for seating. The grill/kitchen area looks very clean as well. Staff is very friendly, she said they have been open for five months (as of Oct. 2025) and the beef is ground fresh in house, also all the sauces are made fresh In-House. You can taste the difference, I thought I had fresh stuff before, but maybe not. Since this is my first visit, I will have to try a few more times before I can say "this is the best Smashburger" and take the title from Friendly Tavern. For those coming from San Diego you may say to yourself the drive is not worth it, but after that first bite, you will change your mind.

This place is great! The staff were friendly and happy to have us there. The smash burgers were delicious and cooked perfectly. The meat, bun, topping ratio was great. Don't forget about the fries they were crispy with a hint of salt. They grind their own beef in house and make their our ranch. You can definitely tell and it makes all the difference in an awesome burger. The restaurant itself is nice and clean. Nothing fancy but exactly what I'm looking for in a great burger spot. They have burgers, sides, shakes, and they even serve breakfast! We will definitely be back. Thanks Sizzle Shack for a great burger!

Update to add a photo of the actual food! (Which, we came back only two days later. Just couldn't stop thinking about it, and it's so close by for us!) We went a little closer to lunch time, and so there were more people coming and going to pick up their orders for take out. Got the same sizzle burger combo but this time with double patties. Tots and ranch were so good. The owner recognized us for coming back so soon, and he was cutting up some steak so he let us sample it. So good! They're so friendly. Hope they stay a long time!

James S.

This is a top tier "hole in the wall" burger spot. You walk in and it's nice and clean with a neutral vibe and very friendly service people and owners. I ordered the classic cheeseburger double combo with fries and my girlfriend got the sizzle double with pepper jack. Food was on point! Don't let the location deter you, this is a bomb spot to eat at, as good if not better than all the smash burger places we've been to around San Diego.

I had a nice breakfast sandwich and iced coffee from this new burger joint in Lakeside. I had the ham and eggs on brioche for $5.49 plus tax, and the regular iced coffee with no sugar for $3.99. The breakfast sandwich was simple yet tasty. I liked it. Both the ham and eggs were cooked and seasoned well. I do wish that they expand their cheese offerings outside the choice of American Cheese. The iced coffee was good. It reminded me of a medium roast. It was smooth and easy to drink. The service was very friendly. They offer a good amount of inside seating. They specialize in burgers but also offer a variety of breakfast sandwiches and burgers.

American Burger, with fries, tots, and a free cookie

If I blinked wouldn't know this place was here. Great welcoming customer service with a smile. Really cool that they grind their own beef. That is a huge plus. The only thing they don't make fresh are the buns. For sure will come back as this place is nice, clean and well organized with a simple menu

I'm a big fan of the "In and Out", figure I would try the Sizzle Shack Burger. I order the single patty combo, after a few minutes the burger was delivered to my table. The burger reminded me of my dad's smash burger with toasted buns. I could see the melted cheese and dripping with juices. I took a healthy bite and "Wow" it was amazingly delicious full of flavor. I have to admit it was better than the In and Out. Try this place out you won't be disappointed. read more

Went on a random Thursday afternoon, I had seen it reviewed (on TikTok?) and had put it on my list. The place itself is bright and clean, with some tables, a fridge with bottled sodas, and a counter with a view of the kitchen. My husband got a burger and I got the special which was a Ruben, he got fries I got tots. We could hear and smell (yum) the food being freshly prepared. It was done quickly and came out piping hot. The tots were 10 out 10! The fries were the right kind of skinny, the burger was delicious the patty nice and smashed with crispy bits, the Ruben was fine, but not enough of any one thing, not bad just not great. That being said we will definitely go again, I'll just get a burger. read more

Came expecting a typical cheeseburger but what I received was so much better! The meat they used for their smashburger was ground fresh at the restaurant and the burger was well flavored with crispy edges. Their sizzle sauce is house made and VERY good and puts the burger over the top. We also tried the sizzle fries and I dare say I liked it more than animal style fries from in-n-out. The owner suggested we try the house made ranch dressing which was very good and quite unique and went great with the fries. The restaurant was clean, the service was good and the food was amazing...we couldn't ask for anything more. My family will definitely be back!! read more

The food was outstanding. I had a double California burger and we got a sizzle salad as well. The burger was so huge it fell apart. An absolute monster. Generous helpings of meat, avocado, sauce, bacon, lettuce, etc. The bun was soft and still managed to not totally disintegrate despite the juicy burger and generous helping of toppings. The fries were pretty plain but fairly tasty. Nothing special there, although they do have other options as well! The staff was friendly and stated they grind their meat all in house. You can order via a kiosk or with one of the friendly staff members. Prices are on par with In N Out, which is awesome. I would 100% make this a stop over In N Out. I HIGHLY recommend stopping by here and giving it a try! I don't think you'll be disappointed! read more

First time there. Went off the reviews. Good but not great. I got the California burger and made it a double for $3.00 more. I asked the girl at the register, do you have a combo with fries and a drink, she said yes. We asked what's the price of a combo. She said $9.99 for the burger $3.00 for the extra patty $4.50 for fries and $3.00 for the drink. I said that's not a combo, that's regular price off the menu she said well yeah. ( Not the brightest bulb on the chandelier ). So we had 2 burgers and 1 Diet Coke for $27. I almost dropped a doogie in my drawers. I'm going to say......we probably won't be back. read more

I went to this place to try the burgers since they were at a fair price and when I saw the chicken sandwich on the menu I just had to try it. This was easily the best chicken sandwich i've ever ordered from anywhere ever in my whole life. It had a perfect ratio of sauce and toppings to chicken. It was very crispy and juicy and not overly oily like other places. Everything about this chicken sandwich was done perfectly and I do consider myself a chicken sandwich connoisseur. In addition to the sandwich I also got myself an order of the sizzle fries and let me tell you, they were also amazing. They are comparable to In n out animal style fries, but way better. Similar sauce but better in every way. Fries were fantastic and the cheese was melted to perfection. I would eat these fries over the animal style fries any day. The prices here were also great for the quality you get. You should for sure go here and try the worlds best, crispiest, juiciest chicken sandwich ever. Luv it xoxo read more

This place is an absolute gem in East County. Tucked away in a little plaza close to a gas station and a few other restaurants, it would be easy to drive right by this place, oblivious to the delicious food (at INCREDIBLE prices) right there. Came here at 1pm on a Saturday and got a double bacon cheeseburger, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, tater tots, French fries, and chocolate chip cookie. It all came to just $27 tax and all. In this economy, I TRULY appreciate affordable food like this. Now, what matters most, the food itself. The food was all prepared fresh while I waited (about 10 min). The meat was juicy and well seasoned, breakfast sandwich was super tasty (and only $3.99...WHAT?!?) and everything else was a hit. Be sure to go support this small business, enjoy a delicious meal, and save yourself the ridiculous fast food prices! read more

I never write reviews but i NEEDED to write this one. DO NOT EAT HERE. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. The place was completely empty and yet the service was horrible. The owner of the store is SOOO rude and made me feel SO UNCOMFORTABLE to be there because he was yelling at another worker instead of quietly talking in the back. Another thing I noticed was that no one washed their hands and no one was using gloves when prepping food or making online orders. They say their meat is fresh but you can tell it isn't because I watched the workers pull out a patty that was COMPLETELY GREY. I was so disgusted by the rude behavior, the lies about "fresh" meat and the lack sanitation all around. The health department NEEDS to go check this place out and their documents because i promise yall this, THIS IS NOT A REAL BUSINESS. People really do just open up shops without any knowledge of what it takes to run an ACTUAL business and it SHOWS! read more

I had a Classic Cheeseburger with fries and a vanilla shake. The burger was excellent! Exact right amounts of everything, including the sauce which is delicious. The shake was good too, though a little thin. I got a huge amount of fries, they could be a little thicker and crunchier; but I took my order to go which could explain the lack of crunch. PLEASE support this business as numerous establishments have been unsuccessful in this location, but we need good burger joints in the East county. read more

We're adding this restaurant to our roster. The burgers are delicious. The bread is pillow soft, the beef tastes like actual beef, and overall it has that home made taste that you don't get at fast food restaurants. I also got full a lot quicker than when I eat at other fast food places. I think it's because they are using quality ingredients. Customer service is great too.

I was looking for a place to eat close to my Airbnb and stumbled upon this place. When I first came in, I noticed it was very clean and everything looked in order. I was warmly greeted and was given some food recommendations. I ended up ordering the double sizzle burger, loaded breakfast sandwich, tater tots, and chocolate chip milkshake. Sizzle Burger: the patty was made in a smash burger style. Meat was well seasoned and juicy, but could have better crust. Sizzle sauce in the burger was just the right amount and is essentially in-house thousand island sauce. Bun was soft and warm. The components in the burger made it really complete. 8/10 Loaded breakfast sandwich: think of all the protein choices you'd have in an American breakfast and it's in the sandwich. A little dry, but some sauce would definitely help it out. Solid nonetheless. 7/10 Tater tots: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Warm, seasoned well, and had a nice golden color to it. Pairs really well with their sizzle sauce and ranch (has a noticeable garlic taste) 9/10. Chocolate chip milkshake: wanted to get something else other than cookies n' creme/oreo shake that you can get anywhere else. Vanilla milk shake with crushed up in-house chocolate chips made fresh everyday. Not too thick and not to think. I'd compare the consistency close to Carl's Jr. 8/10 Would recommend checking it out if you're in the area. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area again. read more

Just tried it for the first time. Remarkable that it was not filled up in the 12:00 hour. Kind of a hard location. Burger was good with a nice balance of flavor. Avocado was smashed into guacamole but still was good. Only downside for me was upon opening the door was greeted with the instant smell of lavender Fabulosa instead of grilled onions. When will owners realize that food is what you should smell not chemicals. I usually boycott once I smell Fabulosa. Hopefully they will read this and make a change. Also just grill a pile of onions already! The smell will draw people in more than you think. read more

If you're looking for a solid, no frills burger spot in Lakeside, Sizzle Shack is absolutely worth a stop. We went on a Saturday around 2:30pm and had no issues with parking, which was a great start. We ordered five burger meals, California, Sizzle, and Classic, and every single one delivered. The burgers are smashburger style, with that perfect sear, and the toasted buns added a slight buttery crunch that really elevated each bite. The fries came in generous portions and were cooked well, crispy and satisfying. My daughter tried the Sizzle fries and loved them; she's already planning to order them again next time. One standout was their house made ranch, super flavorful, garlicky in the best way, and not watered down like you often get elsewhere. My son is a tough critic when it comes to burgers, he rates everything on a 1 to 10 scale, and he gave this one an 8, which says a lot. The staff really made the experience even better. They were friendly and attentive, even stopping by to check in and make sure everything was good. The inside is small, about four tables with four chairs each, but very clean and comfortable. Overall, this is a great family owned spot with quality food and excellent service. We will definitely be back, and next time we are trying breakfast. read more

If you're a smash burger fan, SizzleShack Lakeside is a must-try. This place nails everything you'd want in a burger joint -- crispy, juicy patties, melty cheese, and bold flavors that seriously hit the spot. I had the Double Sizzle Burger with their signature Sauce, and it was absolutely unreal. The edges of the patty were perfectly crispy, the bun was soft but held up beautifully, and every bite had that crave-worthy, griddled flavor. The fries were golden and seasoned just right, and the loaded options take things to the next level. You can tell they care about the details here -- from the quality of the ingredients to how well the food is presented. Staff were upbeat and helpful, and service was quick even during the lunch rush. It's got a cool, casual vibe -- the kind of place you'll keep coming back to, whether you're grabbing a quick bite or catching up with friends. Hands down one of the best smash burger spots I've been to in a long time. Highly recommend. You won't leave hungry. read more

Finally found a burger spot that does it right. They grind their own beef, and you can actually taste the difference--fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. The lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles taste like they came straight out of a home garden, not a warehouse. And the fries? They brought me all the way back--like the old-school McDonald's fries from back in the day. Crispy, flavorful, and somehow still good even after reheating (which says a lot). Definitely a spot worth checking out if you care about quality and real ingredients. read more

Using the street address I was taken to Grossmont Center. The signage indicates this place is called BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries. I was feeling lucky today. So I ordered my fried fish with onion rings and paid $1 upcharge. The problem with onion rings is they range from not good to great. With fries they are usually fine. White fish was fried in a tempura batter infused with herbs. White fish had a mild flavor and was nice and moist. Batter was crunchy. Onion rings were mostly crunchy except the batter was too thick so some parts of the batter were not transformed by the frying process into crunchy goodness. I didn't like the flavor of the herbs in the batter which distracted from the fried onion flavor. Service from the guy in charge was friendly and efficient. My combo was $12.99 which is a great deal.

This place has been open for a year and they did not disappoint. I have drove by this place so many…read moretimes and always want to try it but never had a chance. I finally came in and got to try these two sandwiches, and they were absolutely delicious. I am highly picky with my sandwiches and I was a little scared, specifically when it comes to my pastrami, but the quality they have here is top notch. They serve Dietz and Watson premium meats and I am so glad I came and gave this place a chance. On top of all that the owner is so down to earth and clearly makes these sandwiches from the bottom of his heart. Thank you so much for the amazing service. PS. Every 9th sandwich gets you one free!!

Everything tasted fresh and made with good-quality ingredients. We've been here several times, and the restaurant is always very clean and organized, with plenty of seating and lots of TVs playing sports. It's such a comfortable, family-friendly spot. My family loves coming here, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Definitely one of our favorite local spots in Lakeside. Great food, great service, and a small business we're happy to support!

Free Lunch Friday from my employer was from Antonelli's Deli in El Cajon…read more I brought my lunch but took advantage of the offer and ordered a sando knowing it was going to feed me at home over the weekend. It was a phenomenal sandwich! I mean, easily one of the best I've ever had. The #12: Capocollo & Provolone Sandwich on Marble Rye. I asked for mayo and mustard only. The capocollo was sliced wafer thin and piled high. The provolone was thick sliced. Both were of excellent quality. The capocollo was like butter, it just melted in my mouth. It was peppery and had a superb rich flavor. The provolone complimented it extremely well. And that marble rye! Wow. Soo good. Excellent sando. Antonelli's, get some!

I had to try the the #1 as it's the house special and a true hero/sub.... whatever you call it where you're from. I decided on the 8" since I wasn't "hungry enough" for a footlong. Well, it turns out I wasn't hungry enough for an 8" either. These things are huge! The bread is as fresh as it gets, spongy with just enough pull. Stays together without getting soggy and turning into a mess. The meats and cheeses are fresh as well and it's just an all around great sandwich. The interior is simple with a few tables and a big enough area to wait for your freshly made food. Be patient, they get busy and for good reason. It's not fast food, but it's good food! I'll come back when I'm in town. It's definitely worth a stop.
