    Busted burger
    Kenneth A.

    Service was quick. Had the tuesday special Angus burger. Sad to say it tasted precooked and nuked. You know how bread gets chew when microwaved. It's hard in the center. This is my first time so I'll try it one more time. But this burger is buste

    Egg, bacon, on wheat.  Bacon was so good.

    Ordered food for work. Realky good and portions great. Each person ate half of their sandwich. Bacon was delicious. Easy order and pick up. Close to work is a bonus. Many of us go here get food for work to eat.

    All diners were men...

    I tried their teriyaki chicken rice bowl special with drink. It was a hot day with no AC, so it was a little stuffy in the restaurant but I managed. The rice was a little sticky, but the teriyaki chicken was fine. There are better options not too far away so not sure I would come back but most of it's appeal is for the offices that are a walkable distance from it.

    Love this place! It is walking distance to from my desk so it is perfect when you need a little snack, drinks (a big variety) or a whole meal for those who are starving. The variety of snacks is unbeatable and they do not upcharge like alot of convenience stores do. They have everything from chocolate to gummies, gum, chips and mexican candy. They also have a full menu from sandwiches to teriyaki bowls. I had their chicken teriyaki bowl and it was noth filling and delicious. I walked there during lunch and it didn't take long for my food to come out at all. Maybe 3-5 minutes. Pretty good for being busy. The most important thing that I loved was their customer service. The people who work there are all so nice and helpful.

    San Diegan Sandwich
    Demi F.

    Would order here regularly for work, but I found hair in between the meat slices of my sandwich just now. Saw something poking out, so I opened it up to see this thick black hair. Super grossed out

    San Diegan.  Turkey. Bacon. Avocado. And sprouts.

    Love the concept of this place !! Extra points for an extremely diverse menu!! If you are looking for a quickie meal, this place does it's job! This place is exactttttly how it sounds. It's a grill and a market. When you walk in to the left is the front where you order your food. To the right is the seating and straight ahead is sort of a mini market that is comparable to liquor store products. Line may be long but don't fret! They have several people working the front cashiers....there were 4-5 when I was there. There were about 5 people ahead of me and the lines move fast enough to where I probably placed my order within 45 seconds of standing in line. You can see the cooks making stuff and grilling stuff behind the counter which is pretty neat. Most items are cooked to order. It is really simple: 1. Stare at menu while you wait or look on the side. Menu is super diverse and includes burgers, sandwiches (hot/cold) , spaghetti , breakfast items, sides , sushi and salads. 2. Get in line. Order. Pay. Get number 3. Find a place to sit or wait if you are taking to-go. Leave your number on the table. There is additional outside seating. 4. Someone brings you your food instantly ( I waited 3 minutes after paying when my sandwich arrived ...hallelujah ) Ordered the San Diegan - their most popular cold sandwich. Choose wheat as my choice of bread. Includes turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes, and avocado and sprouts. About 7 bucks total. Not exactly the cheapest but fair for their quick service and I rate the sandwich highly. Everything tasted fresh and it even looked good. It wasn't soggy and it was a good temperature. Came with a pickle. My only regret is not taking the time to look at the menu more. Once my sandwich came ... I looked left to the table next to me and noticed this guy had a hugeeee plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I absolutely love pasta. Love. Yup there is a bathroom in here as well!

    Good value for the money. I also like the variety of options here. You can get sandwiches, gyros, burgers, and more. Some down-sides: the wait is pretty significant. I've never come here and not had to wait. This place is a lunch hub for many local engineer types, and consequently it becomes extra crazy around lunch time. Come early, or late, if you can (before or after the 12-1 peak) Also once I had a medium burger here and suffered some... unusual gastrointestinal developments, shall we say. So, definitely don't get medium or rare burgers here. Not worth knocking them down over this because I'm sure not every batch of meat is like that but anyway I think it's worth knowing about. I like The San Diegan sandwich, and when I'm really craving a gyro and don't want to go to Mira Mesa, this place does the trick and satisfies me. Definitely a good lunch spot to know about, but avoid the rush and regardless expect a wait (5-10 min) to get your food.

    Amazing food! Very clean and great Customer service. Two very clean bathrooms and many seats inside and outside available for seating. Has a great variety of liquor , snack , ice cream .... two big screen tv to watch while enjoying ur meal. The AC is great and enjoyable.

    Love the variety and selection of this spot! I loved the kombucha on tap with my delicious sandwich. The staff is also very friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. I will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area to try out the other items on the menu!

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.

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.

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.
