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!

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.

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.

Andrea M.

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!

Amanda H.

Omg the crispiness!!! Add a hash brown to the breakfast burger, you won't be disappointed! Always fresh beef and eggs! Delish!

Jack M.

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

Melissa R.

We were so excited to see that sizzle shack finally opened, since we live close by. We decided to place an online order and pick it up. We ordered a single Sizzle Burger and a double sizzle burger. We also ordered Bacon Cheese Fries and a mocha Iced Coffee. We arrived and they looked pretty busy. I did not see a sign for pickup orders, so I just went up to the register and told them who I was. They handed me a bag and my iced coffee that was sitting right by the register. The restaurant had seating available and was very clean. Both burgers were very tasty and pretty large. The Bacon Cheese Fries were good, but they were very squished in the container, so it was awkward to eat them. We would definitely try sizzle burger again, maybe next time we will try breakfast.

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. Can't wait to try their mushroom Swiss burger next. read more

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

The service was good and fast. The quality of the food was okay--fresh hamburger in a round ball pressed on to the griddle. Condiments were plentiful as requested. They used an old fashioned shake maker, but no vanilla added to the vanilla shake. All in all, it was a throwback to the old fashioned way we did it in the 1950's and '60's. But nothing really special. However, it was far less crowded than the big corporate producers. The burger was better than anything at McDonald's. read more

The burger would have okay, had it not been pink in the middle, I don't know how a burger that thin could be under cooked But it was which also meant it wasn't very hot.

The pancake was solid, and the coffee... well, it wasn't exactly coffee‑ing, but caffeine is caffeine. Clean space, good food, great service. I'd definitely recommend giving them a try.

Very unique and we totally would've tried some ribs had we not gone to Phil's for the first time the night before and had a ton of leftovers. We split a Country Benny and the Jalapeño scramble, which had their homemade pulled pork in it. Julie was an outstanding server. Super patient, attentive, and helpful. You can choose muffins or coffee cake (only $1 extra!) instead of toast, which I love by the way, but I really appreciated that she asked if I had tried the coffee cake because it's not what I thought it was. She explained it as more of a vanilla cupcake with nuts and white icing? Which is kinda random that they call it coffee cake, but it made us opt for the zucchini muffin which was definitely the right choice. Moist, warm, and delicious to nibble on while we waited for the rest of our meal. She also asked if we needed anything else, like salsa, when our entrees came. Which, I usually alwayyys have to request but she was 2 steps ahead of us. The Bloody Mary was tasty and just strong enough to start our afternoon. I'm a huge sucka for biscuits & gravy and theirs really hit the spot. The sausage patty was so good and definitely homemade. Perfectly poached eggs harmoniously smothered in yummy gravy and fluffy biscuits. Crispy hashbrowns, great country potatoes. The scramble was good, too. Pulled pork had a nice smoky flavor and I've never seen nor had it with eggs before which is awesome. The portions were just right.

The food is terribly priced for what you. $24 for a steak salad, but the steak had no flavor whatsoever. It probably dried out in the fridge while waiting days or weeks to be ordered. Now, since the location was good and you spend a while there anyway, I might try it again; but only for guac & chips with a cold beer. That should be pretty good.

The place feels lively in a calm and familiar way that teenagers would appreciate a lot because it has that friendly neighborhood energy that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. I noticed right away that there were a lot of teenagers eating there, talking with each other, and enjoying their time without feeling watched or rushed. Seeing that made me realize how naturally this cafe fits into the kind of environment teenagers love, somewhere they can relax, laugh, and feel like they belong. The food at Bonnys Cafe surprised me in the best way. It tasted exactly like the kind of comforting breakfast you hope for when you walk into a classic cafe, and it made the whole experience feel even more inviting. Even though the dishes are simple, they have that homemade flavor that teenagers would enjoy because it feels real and not overly fancy. The atmosphere inside is bright and open, and the staff treat everyone with the same kindness, which makes it easy for teenagers to feel comfortable being themselves there. As I walked around and looked at the different tables, I did not realize how much there was to appreciate about the place until I took a moment to really take it in. It is the kind of cafe where you can sit for a while without feeling like you need to hurry up and leave. I really appreciated how easy it was to enjoy my time there without any pressure. I never doubted that the experience was going to turn out the way I hoped it would because everything about the cafe, from the food to the atmosphere, felt genuine and welcoming. I only visited Bonnys Cafe one time in my life before making this review, but it left a strong impression on me. It was one of the most comfortable and inviting cafes I have been to in a long time, and I would highly recommend that teenagers go there because it gives them a place to eat good food, hang out with friends, and feel relaxed. I lived for 24 years. I am not physically or mentally 24 years old. In the summertime in the year 2024, I learned that I am still physically and mentally 18 years old. I also learned in the summer that year that my prefrontal cortex is way more developed than average 25 year olds prefrontal cortex in the human brain.

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
