This is definitely my favorite spot in Vista to grab a glizzy!…read moreAlso, it was National Hot Dog Day, and they had a free hot dog coupon in the app. Winning! Got 2 of my friends to join the app and brought them along as well. The guy running the register was extremely helpful and kind. A+ service! I decided to get the Old Town. It's my favorite. Bacon, caramelized onions, and pickled jalapeños! Yum!! I also ordered a tray of hot tots. They were really good! Can we talk about their fountain machine selection?! ALL of my favorites! Root beer, orange soda, Hawaiian fruit punch. Wow!! The food is always delicious, and I definitely like to sit out on the patio to eat, but we are in a heat wave, so we decided to sit inside!! I hear their hamburgers are really good, so that is what I will try next time.

I had driven by here quite often but it was never really on my radar. Friends of mine (K,W & P, I'm…read moretalking about you), had told me about a deal they had for national hot dog day. I looked it up and decided I needed to partake too.. It's a big open space with a lot of seating. I waited in line. There were a few people ahead of me but I placed my order for 2 dogs to go when they finished. Then I sat outside in the shade and waited and waited and waited. There were quite a few open seats outside. It was trivia night so I listened to that to pass the time. People were pretty into it. I used to play a lot at other places in the past but these questions seemed kind of hard. Finally a female server came up to me and comment on how long I had been waiting (30 minutes at this point) and said she'd check on my order. I had noticed others after me getting their orders so I'm not sure what happened. She disappeared for another 10 minutes or so but returned with my order. I appreciate her. I get that they were busy but a heads up upon ordering would be nice. I didn't order anything difficult, just two hot dogs, one plain and one with a few condiments. My hot dog was really good. I love sauerkraut and theirs is good. My friend loves his hotdogs/sausages and enjoyed his. He wants to come back now! I also had no idea how extensive their menu would be, bfast burritos, chicken, smash burgers etc. I'll come back but maybe check their calendar first so as not to have a repeat.

Service was super friendly and helpful. Food was fantastic, especially the chili. Wow, the chili. Burgers were legit. Double burger was way huge. Chili fries were amazing.

Get a big bowl of chili. Large dining area, clean, nicely decorated. Parking wasn't an issue for us.

This is a long overdue review for Water Shack. I stumbled upon this place a few years ago when I…read morewas craving a no frills mom & pop style burger. To my surprise Water Shack's burgers were delicious and satisfying that I find myself coming back here ever so often. Their burgers aren't the heavy, greasy/high fat patties you would get from other places. However, their 1/4 lb patties are their smallest patties and heft makes for that ideal bun to burger ratio. Did I need to order double patties on most of my burger orders? Probably not. Their patties are on the leaner side but they aren't dry; and the fixings from any burger you choose will satisfy that meaty burger fix you're looking for. The Chicken Patty Melt is also a very tasty item. Very cheesy, buttery and crispy toasted bread with chicken breast. Their fries and onion rings also come air-fried so this place focuses more on the healthier comfort food options that wont leave you feeling heavy and drowsy. This place is also doubled as a purified water dispensary and also serves baked goods and ice cream. Love this type of no-frills, unassuming place with very friendly staff and serves up some delicious food!

Lately at the office we have been on a burger kick trying all the popular burgers joints in the…read moreCarlsbad/Oceanside area. Recommended by a coworker I recently had the pleasure of visiting MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes. With so many options I always love to go the traditional route on any first time visit to get a sense of the meat quality, toppings and bun taste. Their signature burger is the MDC which consists of a Double Certified Angus Beef, American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, MOOYAH Sauce on a Signature Potato Bun. This burger was perfect, two good sized beef patties cooked to perfection, melted cheese and just enough sauce to not overtake all the goodness. The bun really stood out as MOOYAH uses a potato bun and it was really fresh and buttery. I think the bun is a difference maker in terms standing out from other burgers I have had in the past. With a combo you get a generous portion of fries which were decent as well as a refillable soda cup. This combo meal got me stuffed and the value was spot on. Definitely put MOOYAH on your hamburger destination list as you will not be disappointed with its vast menu of burger options. Fun fact about Mooyah is that they started in Texas and this Carlsbad location is the first in California as part of the westward expansion.

So when my wife and I were in the general area, I popped in the address into the GPS, and away we went. Straight to a strip mall I pass through once a week. This place is tucked inside, near the CVS - easy to miss (obviously)!! We went inside and ordered - FRIENDLY crew! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries to share - my wife ordered a basic cheeseburger. We were given a pager (the kind with lights to alert you to pick up), and we sat down. VERY cool little touch - the tables have Qi charging stations behind them. When the pager went off, I picked up our burgers - DAMN they looked great! The fries to share? Umm.....for about four people - seriously huge pile! And tasty! But the burger - this was absolutely a great burger - cooked to perfection, and just quality all the way through. We'll be back - a GREAT burger joint!!

So bravo on consistency. Theyve also consistently gotten something wrong, every single time, even when ordering one single burger. Never fails, we request one plain cheeseburger and they repeat, just cheese and the burger patty? Yes. We receive a burger with extra mustard extra cheese and even pickles. *facepalm*. Gotta love today... tea 'no ice please' no ice? No ice. See photo *look*. Was filled with ice. Seriously filled. Had a meeting so no time to send it back plus I absolutely loath having to send anything back for fear of them doing something to it or just putting anyone out. Even though they made the mistake. Forgetting sauces with things that comes with sauces. Undercooked corndogs. Always ask for well done. Always. Then they will actually give you one not doughy. Each time I've decided why not and have return, 4 times now, I've regretted it. It's not the workers fault the food is greasy and chemically. But it is their fault when orders are missing things it's suppose to have or has extra stuff you've asked they omit. And I've tipped well before realizing the issues. But then think, was it that person who messed up or were they simply bringing me the food, so tip still should be given in my opinion. Same for dine in restaurants, it's my opinion it's not the servers fault the cook undercooks or over cooks something. So still tip for service. Anyways. Two stars for consistency. I do know what to expect each and every time.
