    Milkshake (chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry)
    Jane A.

    JUST THE MILKSHAKES (5 stars) Love me a good milk shake... even if it can make my tummy turn! Skipped the food and went for the shake. They offered 3 flavors (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry) and I asked to have all three in one, why not?! I felt I was the first to ever ask for that because they seemed like they never tried before but happy to try. And that neopolitan flavor just hits! MILKSHAKE ($8.80) - the shake wasn't too thick not too runny, solid enough to be a shake but soft enough to sip thru the large straw without concaving your cheeks. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Until the next review...

    I ordered the 858 burger. It was a great smash burger. It also came out very quickly. I ordered fries and they were also tasty. Seating was plus size friendly. The tables move and the chairs have no arms.

    Delicious smash burger!!!! I should have done the double patty as it's very thin on the thick, buttery brioche. Very tasty. They picture basic fresh cut fries here on some photos but mine were more beer battered style. Normally I don't like that kind of fry, but these were great! People who take away stars bc there's no parking must not know La Jolla.

    While waiting for my husband to order tacos from the Taco Stand, the kids decided to get food from 858Burger. It was our first time here. The kids ordered an American Smashburger (5/5) with fries & a side of cheese sauce (5/5). The service was great. We ordered to go but ended up eating dining in. The ambiance is upbeat with music playing in the background. It's a cute and clean place.

    I ordered the 858 Burger with Fries. The food was received pretty fast. The smash patty itself was a little on the sweeter side bc of the bacon jam so it wasn't my cup of tea. The fries were super crispy but lacking in salt. The burgers and fries are on the greasier side. I'd come back to try their onion rings and classic burger though just to get a baseline on their regular smash burgers.

    Just had an American burger again to see how it compared to when they first opened. It may seem like small changes. but the onion jam has been replaced by grilled onions, it now comes with 1000 island dressing and the bun is a little more substantial. The combination makes for a very filling single patty burger. It now ticks all the boxes. It reminds me a lot of the Bob's Big Boy burgers of my youth. With a side of onion rings and a delicious chocolate milkshake, it doesn't get any more American than this. In a good way... Shout out to Andrea (one of the owners) for continuing to tweak the menu. Nice job!

    Good burger & ranch was great with the fries & the Onion rings.

    Good little burger spot in the heart of La Jolla. Connected to a Empanada spot which is good too. Customer service was good, a young tall (I'm only 5'5 so everyone is tall to me) Latina girl helped us & she was very helpful & nice. We got 3 burgers, Classic, American & the 858, I tasted all 3 & they were good. My fav was the American, wife was the 858 so she took mine & I took her American. And make it a double if you can eat like me, it's worth it. My kids loved their classics & love their Dirty Fries they said it was better then In & Out Animal Style Fries & I agree. We also had their onion rings they were amazing, try their ranch it's very good. We ate inside & it was really clean & spacious & a good vibe. Overall we liked it alot & will come back when we in LA Jolla. My kids who love the burgers from Shake Shack (similar style they smash burgers) said these burgers were as good but bigger which is a plus. Keep up the good work 858 & see you soon :)

    Clean, fast service, great food, expensive Realy enjoyed this place. The dirty fries were just great, loved the pickle garnish. The two burgers we ordered were prepared perfectly with unique bun and burger presentation. Milk shake tasted fantastic Churro and dipping sauce was super tasty and undoubtedly bad for me 5 stars even if it was pricy, everything is expensive these days

    I'm always on the hunt for a great smash burger -- and 858 Burger delivered. No fluff. No frills. Just a killer burger done right. Crispy edges, classic toppings -- everything you want, nothing you don't. The place was super clean and well-kept, and the staff was attentive and on point. You can tell they care about the food and the experience. If you're a smash burger fan, don't sleep on it.

    Great new spot for milkshakes and burgers! Love a good smash burger and this spot didn't disappoint. I loved the 858 burger, strawberry milkshake and onion rings with ranch!

    Was worki g in La Jolla and saw a review from opening week so I had my cousin pick up some burgers and we tried them out! ONE STAR for their namesake 858 Burger featuring white cheddar cheese, bacon & onion jam and umami sauce. I absolutely loved this one although my cousin said it was too sweet. I got plenty of sweet, caramelized onion which I love!! Their classic burger was good too but very thin Pattie's was disappointing. I do understand these are smash burgers but these are paper thin. Fries were just basic...nothing special or crisp about them. Wished we got the onion rings instead. I thought the burgers were reasonably priced when I was looking at the online menu but when I saw what we got I think it isn't worth it. Unfortunately I think this place will be another restaurant next year (as this venue has been turned around 5 times in the time I've worked in La Jolla). I thought a burger joint would be the cure but there's nothing truly standout about this place. Sad about it. Burgers were just ok...not bad, not standout.

    858 Burger (named after the area code for La Jolla) has taken over the space where a short lived burger vendor had operated in the village of La Jolla. The suite was connected to an empanada business sharing the same main entrance and restroom. On-site parking was limited to a couple of spaces while the dining area had eight countertop seats adjacent to a window and enough tables to hold another couple of dozen diners. Three types of smashburgers and five sides were the savory menu offerings. Milkshakes, a chocolate chip cookie, and mini churros were the sweet treats. I picked a Classic smashburger with sweet potato fries for my meal. The burger was a beef patty dressed with American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and thousand island sauce on a buttered brioche bun. The patty had crispy edges around the perimeter which was good. That being said, I thought the featured burger of the predecessor was a better product. The real disappointment was the sweet potato fries. They were soggy inside the cardboard cup and not worth $4.50 for the amount given. The service was okay as the wait to receive my food wasn't too long. The menu prices were similar to the previous business so that was a wash. I rated my experience at a three star level for 858 Burger.

Our orders were taken quickly, and large waters with lemon were brought out to us. Our burgers came out in about 7 minutes and they were just what the doctor ordered. :) My chicken burger was especially delicious, and I'd asked for extra pickles, and let's just say that the Hodad's chefs did not disappoint. There had to be at least 15 pickles on this bad boy. YUM! Onion rings were crispy and delicious. M. loved his burger and as usual, his only complaint was that he wished it was bigger. Haha. We enjoyed our food and the fun, kitschy Hodad's dining area. I feel like every time I come here, I spot something on the walls, or dangling from somewhere, that I haven't seen before. It's always a good time at Hodad's and it is certainly worth a visit if you haven't been here before. Keep in mind they do have a limited menu (burgers, chicken burgers, veggie burgers, fries, rings, shakes & some beverages and beers.) However, the table next to us ordered shakes and they looked hella good. Next time for us, for sure!! Mahalo!

It's always popping up as one of the best burgers in San Diego. The vibe in the place was cool. Bustling and music blasting. I look around for the menu. Not easy to find. I guess it's one of those "if you know you know" but then I saw a small chalkboard that listed the burger and a tiny printout pizza menu way in the back. I order a burger and coke. So pumped to try it. I ask for no onions and the guy at the register immediately cops a huge attitude like I ruined his day. He points at the chalkboard and says "no substitutions". I reply "no biggie! I can scrape em off or something" dude looks pissed and says "they're hard to scrape off" I know reading this I may sound unreasonable. Maybe dude was having a bad day. But the way he was looking and speaking to me made me want to walk away from the counter not bother ordering. If you are great at burgers but not customer service maybe stay off the register and stick to the grill. My friend with me goes "not very friendly for a place called the friendly" so it wasn't just me. The burger comes out. Honestly I'd bet on a good day it's great. But today it wasn't. Overly greasy. Ironically all of the onions slid right off so I'm not sure why he feels it would be too difficult for me to remove myself. The burger could barely stay in the bun it was so greasy. The aioli spread was all on one side of the burger and it was a mess. I'm not sure if maybe this place used to be great and since has declined, or if the staff was just having such an off day that it reflected in the effort of the food. Or if the guy just had some issue and felt like taking it out on us today. But needless to say. There's plenty of amazing smash burger places in San Diego. Excited to try somewhere else.
