Tried the Burger Bench in Vista with my friend a week or two ago and it was a great experience all…read morearound! The restaurant has a very open feeling, with lots of space and high ceilings. There's a patio, bar area, and table and booth seating. We ordered 3 sliders and onion rings to share. The sliders were 1) mushroom & Swiss, 2) Smokehouse BBQ, and 3) classic cheeseburger. Each of the sliders was unique and very flavorful, with well-seasoned beef patties and recognizable flavor profiles. My favorite was actually the mushroom & Swiss. The onion rings almost stole the show for me, believe it or not. They were some of the best onion rings I've ever had--light and tasteful breading, perfectly succulent onions. The ranch and bleu cheese they use are really nice too. Highly recommend this spot to any and all burger lovers or fans of epic onion rings!

I wanted to give it 4 stars but gave it 5 because the burger and the fries were delicious and amongst the best in the area. My only disappointment was the hotdog. My recommendation to Tanners is stick to the burgers. The hot dog, and I have had a few from New York, Boston, Nathan's, Chicago, etc... was bland and over decorated with peppers and other condiment to hide how bland it was. I was almost certain it was boiled and borderline not fully cooked. Even so, everything g else was excellent and it gets 5 stars from me.

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!

We ordered the classic burger with avocado and jalapeños and the mushroom Swiss with avocado, both cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The ingredients taste fresh, the buns are soft and toasted just right, and everything comes together exactly how a great burger should. Even the fries are excellent--crispy and seasoned well. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the whole place has a great atmosphere. It's clean, open, and comfortable with a cool modern vibe that makes it a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Every visit has been solid. If you're a burger fan, this place is a must.

The order was right and they didn't cause any scenes from when I was there. Everything was kept clean and there was no particular area that I felt the need to avoid or ask to clean up. The food was the main star of the show - especially the smokehouse burger/slider. The flavor was all there and the patty was juicy and just over all delicious. The grilled chicken club was a little dry, but it was in a slider version so I imagine that's bound to happen. The cheeseburger slider was good, but not amazing - patty was still cooked enough to be juicy, and it was enjoyable. The fries were yummy, but not out of this world. It's possibly because I'm not the biggest fan of steak fries, but I'd eat them again. Overall, a great place to stop by in the area and would definitely visit again to try other items. Will definitely look into what others enjoyed so I can try those too!

Service was prompt and I loved the open aspect of it and seeing where the beer is brewed. Also love the decor and all the picnic tables and wine barrels for seating.

Both were absolutely delicious and the side of fries were well cooked and seasoned to perfection! Everyone that knows me, knows that I love a good french fry. That burger reminded me of the ones my momma used to make. Get yourselves over there and try it, you will not be disappointed.

My 5-year-old was with me, who doesn't like burgers but can get down with a grilled cheese, so I asked whether they could make a "grilled cheese" with tomato and they were super nice and said no problem. I also ordered the standard Party Burger and a side of fries. Our food arrived at our table super quickly but that came with a caveat - maybe it's because it was mid-week they just prepared a stack of burgers ahead of time (hours ago?) in hopes it would carry them thru the evening - but my Party Burger patty was borderline cold. My daughter's "grilled" cheese was composed of unmelted cheese slices (see photo). She ate hers anyway, but I was feeling pretty wary about the holding temp of the meat on my burger and ended up trashing most of it... it was pretty much a waste of $12. The fries were the star of the show - piping hot and well salted. I would order those again for sure. The Party Sauce was a great dipping option. I would consider eating here again but possibly trying the wings which looked pretty good, or asking that this time my burger be made-to-order.

There I am greeted by a lovely young man, I pay for my pick up order and sit down to wait until it's ready. I got my order and went home. I had gotten a tuna melt and onion rings. I would say the tuna melt was 'just okay', I wish it was a little more toasted. The onion rings were not edible as they were super overdone, so I actually went back to the restaurant and returned them. Thankfully they were able to resolve that issue for me though. The young gentleman was a pleasure but unfortunately the rest of the experience was not. It's my second time coming here and both times the lady working was quite rude and food mediocre, so I won't be returning.

Since it was our first time, we went inside to order our mains first and then easily added dessert later using the table QR code. The outdoor seating is great!

The Anaconda Bar from the dessert menu was incredible. It's like a seriously elevated Klondike bar. Their entire menu looks incredibly intriguing. I'll definitely be back to try more items, especially their June specials like the Pineapple Express Burger and the Spam Musubi Fries!
