Great burger! I don't usually come out to Esco, but this is…read morea great burger place, so I may have to make an exception! Today, we ordered the classic lunch combo burger with fries-delicious and does not taste like freezer burn!!! There is a choice of not just beef, but also impossible, gluten free, and grass fed meats. All burgers are cooked to medium unless you specify otherwise. Easy to order-just go to the counter and order, pick a seat and wait for your meal. The interior dining area has plenty of seating and restrooms in the back. The outdoor patio looks nice enough for when it's a nice cool night, it is covered as well. Anyway, we'll be back since the menu looks super inviting because there are other choices besides burgers and the best thing is that they use a lot of local, fresh ingredients! Support your local eateries!

You order at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. It's hard to find a burger place with all my favorites: an egg, bacon, and avocado. The bacon was crispy, the egg was medium and wasn't too runny, and the brioche bread was a little sweet and fluffy. They use angus beef for their patties. You can also split your fries which I love! I got to try the onion rings and sweet potato fries. I wish the sweet potato fries were crispy. They were more on the soggy side. The onion rings batter was a lil thicker than I like. The batter overpowered the onion. We also got the Cajun wings to try which was nice and crispy! They give you a few sauces on the side so you can dip it. I got the ranch which was so good with the wings, fries and burger. The milkshakes are pretty delicious! We got the classic vanilla one. It was a pretty thick shake so you know they use legit ice cream! I also liked the peach lemonade. I would check this place out if you're in the area!

Well for some reason that has all changed and there are just two chairs which didn't really feel right eating my lunch there so I brought it home and suffered the not right off the grill taste. I'm sure there's a reason, but the burger was still great and it's still on my list for one of the good ones down here. Update, the owner who's a wonderful woman told me the reason that there is no inside dining is a city issue not her choice.

I also dipped it in some sauce as it was a little dry. Otherwise, it tasted good and was a big portion. I got onion rings which I liked a lot. It was too much food so I didn't order a custard, but I definitely will try it next time. I look forward to coming back and trying different options 3.5 stars.

They got the ambience and facility though. These guys know how to build, run and manage a family friendly sports bar. Service is solid, they have on all the games and lots of beers. The food is overpriced mediocre bar food and they sneak in fees wherever they can to turn your $20 burger into a $24 burger. But who doesn't do that nowadays. They are owned by the Cohn restaurant group which is notorious for Cisco supplied food but they got the decor and environment you want to hang out in for a long time. There is a reason they own so many spots and do so well. I will keep paying twice the price here than go somewhere cheaper and being around miscreants and degenerates. Appreciate them reaching out too to my review.

This is one of my all time favorite places to have a hamburger, which I rarely do!…read more I am really NOT a beef eater. During my childhood, even in a Chinese Restaurant I would order a hamburger. When I became an adult, I just wanted to eat less of that. With all the cooking I do, beef is just not one of the proteins of choice for me. And that's probably why when I find a good burger, I will occasionally go for it. Here's how that happened yesterday.... We were at a Halloween event in Oceanside, just 6 minutes away from Tanners when my daughter looked at me and said: Tanners. It's something the whole family can agree on. The Burgers are very satisfying and so are the French Fries. They use my friends beef, (Brandt Beef), so I know it's clean. And they are not using seed oils which makes it so much healthier for you! (They are using beef tallow). So when you are craving a burger, especially if you've got a couple of beef eating friends with you, go there and become the 'expert' at choosing a restaurant!

When I try a new restaurant, I ask two questions: what is this place trying to do, and does it…read moredeliver? Tanner's Prime is a smash burger spot from a Michelin-starred chef, so the answer should be obvious. Except I ordered a hot dog. From a burger place. In my defense -- it was good! But the burger was hands down better: crispy-edged smash patties, melty cheese, peppers with a little bite, on a bun that somehow stays soft under all that. The hot dog is a fine supporting actor. The burger is the star. Now, the friction. Online ordering was shut down on a weekend night -- they get slammed, I get it -- so I ordered in person and waited. Twice. Fine. What wasn't fine: I got home and the loaded fries were missing from the order. Three different employees touched that bag, and yes, I know I should check my order -- but I also think it's fair to expect the restaurant to check it first. I went back the next day, and to their credit, the manager refunded the fries and the tip. That's above and beyond, and honestly the reason this isn't a harsher review. So: great food, a service stumble, and a manager who earned back some goodwill. If/when I return -- yes, I'm checking the bag.

One of my new favorite casual breakfast and burger joints. What makes it 5 stars? - awesome food and generous portions. The food was fresh and tasty. I loved my burger and chili cheese fries. Unlimited drinks. The perfect meal. - very reasonable prices for the quality and food portions (better than any fast food including In N Out especially since they keep raising their prices) - they serve breakfast, burgers, other sandwiches, salads, and several sides. Something for everyone to enjoy. - plenty of parking in the lot and lots of seating inside. The vibe is casual diner food. - service was friendly and professional. They were busy but we got our food within 10 mins. I will definitely be stopping by for more!

The Money Pit is such a cute place with fun decor, and it's a well-known San Marcos establishment…read morethat's been around forever. I went Monday night (9/21/26) with my boyfriend and his friend. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of ordering a salad. I got the Greek Tavern Salad, which doesn't come with meat, so you have to pay extra to add chicken. The chicken was very dry and flavorless and in a big chunk on top of the salad. The tomatoes and green peppers were also in really big pieces, so I really wish I'd been given a better knife to cut everything up. I also wish the salad had a better Mediterranean-style dressing and more feta. I ended up leaving most of it behind. The other thing that really bothered me was that they started deep cleaning the restaurant around 9pm, even though they're open until 10pm. They were fully mopping and stacking chairs around us, which made us feel like we were being rushed out. I actually asked when they closed, and they said 10pm--it was barely 9pm at that point! Who wants to smell cleaning chemicals and have furniture being stacked around them while they're still eating? The decor is cute and the restaurant has a lot of character, but unfortunately the food and the way the evening ended probably means I won't be back.

Come to find out, this windmill actually has a food hall inside of it and I was pretty stoked to check it out. When I got over to Cosmos Burger and saw someone walking away with a chicken sandwich, I knew I needed to order one and give it a try myself. I ended up ordering a chicken sandwich which is basically some sauced chicken strips between some buns, and this sandwich was really good. I ended up getting the Garlic Parm chicken sandwich and the sauce was really good. I also ended up ordering french fries on the side which were fine, but this place charges $7 for fries and only offers one size.....so that sucks. It was too many fries for a side and since they don't bother to offer a small, I was stuck with it. Overall, I left Cosmos Burgers with some mixed feelings. The Garlic Parm Chicken Sandwich was really good, but at $15 doesn't really seem worth it when it's served by itself, and when you add in another $7 for French fries you are spending almost $25 to get a sandwich, fries and no drink. Won't be returning.

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!

I am surprised that the place has been around for decades. Part of me really likes the restaurant…read moreand the other half of me makes me wonder how it has still been going. Here are my criticisms that I think the restaurant can easily fix. One is that many of the dishes are a little more bare than I would have expected. I ordered the gyro platter with the sides. However, I did not get any vegetables with my pita. I'm not sure if I had to pick the salad as a side. But most places usually give some onions, a tomato slice or two, and maybe lettuce. Instead, my gyro only had the pita on the side and the gyro meat inside the platter. The tzatiki sauce was pretty good and had a nice light taste to help cut the salt from the gyro meat. I found that the price of a single platter is a bit on the more expensive side at about 20 dollars. Luckily, the portions are quite good and you can probably feed 2 or even 3 people if nobody is that hungry. I found the service to be a bit lacking as well. I asked for 2 extra dinner sets with my platter. The cashier only gave me one! I'm not sure if he was doing the math for me. I asked if I could have two more forks and spoons, he gave me two total. I guess he figured the last person I shared the platter with could just share the fork, too? The place is pretty good if you can overlook these issues. Also, if you have to do something in the area and need a quick bite, it'll suit your purposes. Otherwise, I would not go out of my way to eat here.
