We really enjoy the food and service here. It's pretty hot inside temperature wise in the summer so if you can grab an outside table it's a little better. The employees are really putting up with a lot inside the restaurant with the heat yet they are really nice and take the service to the next level. Note: The bathrooms are around the corner from the store front and you will need a key code from a server. Seating outside has umbrellas for shade and oftentimes there is a nice breeze which is pretty dang amazing. This location is in the middle of everything. You can grab lunch, go see a movie adjust a few doors down and after the movie there is an awesome ice cream shop in the same area. Our table had the Philly cheese steak sandwich, Good Ole Burger, the Hombre and The Great Patty Melt. Most of us opted for the sweet potato fries for a little extra spend. It was all perfect! Pricing is great for the amount of the food and the perfection of the presentations. In my pics the Hombre burger is cut in half by me to show the perfectly prepared patty. Give this a shot, you will not be disappointed! read more

Hidden gym for sure. Prob the best Mac and cheese I have had from a restaurant like this. Friendly staff, food came out hot and fast. Burgers were cooked to perfection, not dry or over cooked.

I was looking for a burger joint for my son and I to have dinner. I didn't want to spend a fortune. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but a 1/3 pound burger can now be in the range of $20 and your lucky if it comes with fries. Well, that is not the case here. For around $12-$14 you can get a 1/3 pound burger and fries. I'm appreciate that it's Butcher N Cheese is still making a week-day night out dinner still affordable. When we arrived we were greeted within a few seconds and asked if we were dining in or take out, we said dining in and we were given a table. My son ordered the Good Ol' Burger, with just meat and cheese. I ordered the the Roadhouse. Both burgers came out within about 10 minutes. The patty itself was a good size, flavorful and juicy. My son ate almost all of his meal. The egg on my burger was a little under cooked, but honestly, I prefer that than a over easy that is over cooked where the whites are crunchy. It was a good messy burger. I'm a big eater and I could not finish my fries and had a few bites of burger left. Overall it was a good burger and I'd definitely eat here again. The service was great. No complaints here. read more

The Butcher N Cheese - The Roadhouse Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

An excellent local burger joint that fills a great need in a community lacking such. It's a cute looking restaurant that tries to look like a local bar/restaurant on the inside and creates some nice ambiance. The burgers are quite good, not the best in San Diego but definitely worth the price and guaranteed to satisfy. I had the Bison burger and my mom had a patty melt; both were tender, juicy and flavorful with good toppings and especially good bread. Kudos for them using bread from the nearby Ariely bakery which is an excellent location versus buying something from a Sisco. Their bread takes what's a good burger and makes it great. They also make good fries, especially crispy sweet potato fries which is hard to come by. I love how many options they have including chicken, turkey, lamb and bison, makes them very unique. Maybe my only critique is their house salad dressing wasn't that good and I wish they'd have more options available but that's a pretty minimal complaint. If you're coming out of the nearby theater or need a good burger in the location, definitely worth visiting. read more

Dang! That was an awesome burger. Going by the location I would not have thought this would be one of my new favorite spots! The drink menu had some great choices, I did a 2 Towns hard cider. The burgers were fantastic! The bourbon burger was cooked perfectly and the topping were an awesome flavor balance! So good, I will definitely be back! Great service, great food! read more

I had a burger here that added shrimp to it .. say whaaaar? Yes, and it was delicious, and was the highlight of my visit, I don't remember anything outside of that. Lol. Seriously, I stopped in just for a burger, as I heard they were a must have, and if you like burgers, they have a pretty good selection. They are in the mall off at Clairemont Mesa Blvd and Clairemont Drive in across the parking lot from Burlington Coat factory, in the food court. read more

I wish I took pictures!! Ugh - well, I usually roll my eyes at a burger above $15.00 - however, I HAPPILY paid nearly $20 for a burger here! The staff was friendly and the wait time was not a problem. I went on my lunch hour and I didn't feel like i had to rush it was a nice day, so we sat on the patio. The shopping area is a little "dead" on that side, so it was quiet. They offer a nice variety of burgers. I would suggest to order the garlic fries - yum!! burgers are cooked well, you'll need extra napkins! Messy is good!!! read more

This place was just okay. The fries were nicely seasoned and extra crispy, but the burgers were dry. I got the teriyaki burger and my friend got the turkey burger. I would not recommend coming here for burgers, but just get a side of fries. read more

Oh my goodness this place is amazing. The burgers are the bomb. Our fave is the Bourbon burger and their basic fries are delicious. My new go-to dinner option in the steak with veggies and mash potatoes but sometimes I ask for fries instead. Great staff and great service. read more

The service here is very nice, quick, and accommodating. The garlic herbed fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned. My bourbon burger was very juicy and there were a lot of flavors (sweet, savory, tangy) overall it was very good. I plan to come back to try the lamb shank. read more

Easily became my favorite burger spot in SD. Got the Garlic fries with the Bacon Onion Jam with the Pineapple Cider. The flavors were great. The patty was cooked right- juicy and flavorful. The bacon, onion, cheese and brioche bun complement perfectly. The wasabi mayo served with the garlic fries is delicious (but not spicy). The owner has been there every time I've been and he shows his customers a gentle hospitality that's refreshing. You can tell he enjoys giving people good food. It's a place I like to go on my own to enjoy a tasty burger in a quietish setting. read more

We got into town later than we had planned. We were actually going to Isa.Bella Pizza, Pasta, Craft Beer next door. To our surprise, they shut their gates/doors and hour before their scheduled closing time so we ended up trying The Butcher N Cheese place. SCORE! This restaurant is smaller, but it seems to be relatively busy. There's a few tables and chairs inside and they have outdoor seating as well. We were greeted right away. We were told to pick a table and they'd be right with us. We saw quite a few people ordering to go orders as well as phone in orders. For a small family owned place, they offer quite the wide variety menu items. They offer grass-fed beef patties, bison, lamb, wild turkey, chicken, and veggie, and beyond burgers as well. They offer a variety of different salads. They also have mac n cheese, fries, sweet potato fries, tater tots, and crispy onion rings. They also have steaks, fried crab cakes, fish and chips, and more. There's kid's menu, too. Something for everyone. We had the steak dinner. It was delicious! As you can see from the picture... a CLEAN PLATE. We were checked on several times and asked how our meals were. GREAT FOOD and SERVICE!! We will be back.... read more

I recommend Checking out this company's menu ahead of time, because you'll need to walk up to the counter and place your order , but there's not a lot of room to stand inside and look at the menu. This is a good place for small families with kids and it has outdoor seating so you can bring your dog as long as you have somebody go to the counter to order. I wouldn't recommend this for large parties just because there isn't a ton of seating except for small round tables outside. There are a ton of Burger and other options that left my mouth both wandering and my brain puzzled. After a few minutes of hungry frustration I finally decided on the bourbon Burger which was A mildly spicy bourbon sauce onion ring bacon cheeseburger. I decided to get a side salad instead of fries. The Salad came with some sort of yogurt dressing which tasted like a mild flavored tzatziki . Unfortunately the dressing wasn't a hit but the salad itself was full of fresh and delicious ingredients. The Burger was so big I had to cut it in half and use 3 napkins just to eat my 1st half. After sipping on a delicious and refreshing IPA with my Burger I tapped out after the 1st half. My husband happily enjoyed my leftovers when I got home. I don't typically go out for expensive burgers, You'll usually find me at some drive thru Burger place but it's really nice to appreciate a well crafted and delicious Burger every once in a while. read more

If you're looking for an artisan burger, then this is the place! This is quite possibly the best tasting hamburger that I've ever tasted. The California Guacamole Burger was superb! The beef was high quality, cooked to perfection, and the brioche bun was buttered on both sides. The Waldorf Salad was also fresh and delicious. The salad dressing is more of a thick aioli that may need to be diluted 1:1 v/v with water, but it was tasty nonetheless. The chicken was absolutely phenomenal! It was seasoned to perfection with herbs and grilled without losing the moist texture. Arlene took great care of me while she provided a sample of each of the dipping sauces, which included Dill Ranch, Garlic Horseradish, Chipotle Mayo, and Sweet Honey Barbecue Sauce. I will definitely be back again... Great job, Butcher 'N Cheese! read more

Friends and I met up here last week for dinner. We went inside, it's a small place with a few tables. We decided to eat outside. The young lady behind the counter brought us our menus and offered to turn on the heater. She was very nice and helpful. They have a good selection of dinners, butgers and so many other things. Two of us decided on the Patty Melt, one got the Beyond Burger They come with Fries. One of us upgraded to the Parmesan and Garlic Fries. Drinks come in a can or bottle with a cup of ice. Everything was delicious. Sitting outside made for some interesting people watching. This is a perfect place to enjoy a meal and visit with friends and family. read more

A great burger - there are plenty of other places that are the whole package. We sat outside where they had patio heaters. It was plenty warm for a 59F evening. There are a number of restaurants, ice cream and a movie theater all in the same plaza. Everything you need for a date night! There's a large parking lot with plenty of spots. The mozzarella sticks were so good they didn't need to be dipped in sauce, but the cheese inside wasn't fully melted which was disappointing. The sweet potato fries look terrific - sprinkled with parsley - but they were underwhelming and tasteless. The bacon onion jam cheeseburger was fantastic! read more

Surprisingly good Mac n' cheese! They actually make a bechamel which is impressive. If they just cooked the noodles a little less, it would probably be the best Mac n' cheese I've had from a restaurant! We also had wings and chili cheese fries. No burger this time around as we had burgers at home recently. The chili could use more seasoning but they definitely load up the fries. We got the sour cream on the side. I appreciated the pickled jalapeños a lot. Buffalo wings were pretty standard but they did give a decent amount of carrots and celery sticks! read more

The Butcher N Cheese took over for Extreme Pizza at this cluster of restaurants in the Clairemont Town Square shopping plaza. So much has changed as the BBQ, Italian, pizza, and sushi spots have all disappeared and been replaced with another entity or a vacant suite. There was roughly an equal number of seats inside as well outside on the sidewalk patio like before. You grab a menu, take a seat, and the staff will provide table service. At the time of my visit, eleven different types of burgers were available along with four salads, two hot dogs, a fried crab cake, a cheese board, fish and chips, and other small plates. I decided on the Grassland Bison Burger cooked medium rare which came with a side of french fries. The grass-fed bison patty was dressed with red cabbage slaw, American and cheddar cheeses, and a house made dijon-naise. The quality of the burger was good, but I wouldn't say it was memorable. The plate could have used some more fries to back up the price tag. I gave my dining experience at The Butcher N Cheese a 3.5 star rating and rounded up because the service was very good. read more

Absolutely recommend this place. Great selection of burgers and other not the plain usual choices. Everything was very tasteful and perfectly prepared and served. Perfect portions even with the salad(mixed greens). Chicken wings were crispy and came with nice selection of different sauces. Inside seating was very clean and comfortably cushioned. There is also outside seating with heaters. Service was absolutely outstanding making us feel like we were at a fancy upscale restaurant. We will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

Came here on a Sunday evening, a little later, so not too busy. A small place next to the movie theater and other restaurants.. there are indoor and outdoor tables. The staff working were friendly. Burgers and other diner type foods. We ordered a few things: onion rings were a battered and crispy. My kids like the macaroni and cheese. Their burger (we got the teriyaki) was juicy, and their Philly cheesesteak was also pretty good. A decent place to check out read more

Came for dinner and was surprisingly pleased with the meal and service. The menu pictures don't really do justice to the burgers. The fries seemed to be double fried (if you like them that way), option to pick salad or sweet potato fries too. Ordered the Bourbon Burger on sourdough and it was delicious. Meat was great with the right amount of condiments and bread toasted. Chicken tenders were good as well, oil wasn't burnt like other places could be. Staff was very amicable and attentive to needs. Ambiance has a "hole in the wall vibe" with a table tucked to a (closet?) door but the establishment has modern signage, contemporary indoor and outdoor seating. Branding throws me off a bit but worth a visit. Reasonably priced. read more

Small shop/interior seating. Does have outdoor seating though. Mainly a burger shop but had some new entrees that were like pork chops and mashed potatoes and fish entree. Also have a good selection of wine and beer if you'd like with your burger. I ordered the New Orleans burger which was very juicy. Burger didn't have the most going on like some of the other burgers, but it was solid. Supposedly came with Cajun fries, but I think they were regular as my friends had regular fries and they looked similar and tasted the same. The fries were very good though - fried a little bit darker but great crunch and seasoned. For the price I paid I do feel like it's an elevated burger and the fries were good as well. Would come back again. read more

Fantastic burger place with vegetarian/vegan options, and non-burger selections too!

A lot of selection, but had a generic feel to it? Not much indoor seating also, but there's outdoor seating available. It was too hot to sit outside. The place is decent, the burgers are good, but I ordered a wedge salad and it wasn't in the shape of a wedge, it was chopped up. A little confusing, but live ya life if that's your rendition of a wedge salad? read more

Food was good. Many types of burgers, chicken sandwich, ribeye sandwich, and wings. Sides were fries or a side salad. For $3 more you can order onion rings or sweet potato fries. Their regular fries were yummy. Burgers were tasty. Everything was cooked well. They offer beer, wine, and other assorted drinks. It's a very small place inside but has outdoor seating with umbrella shade. It's a very casual place. Service was very good. Sandwiches and burgers range from $13.99 to $19.99. I would go again if I was craving burger. read more

Awesome place great food. It's a shame they are closing. Thank you so much for the great service and the ambience.

Closed between 3-4. Arrived at 2:30 pm. Weird. They have a high star rating but it is nothing special inside. Don't need to try again and please post your real hours. . read more
