Order the Double Smashburger with grilled onions with Cheese Tots. This Smashburger was spectacular! I had tried For the Win in L.A the previous day at the recommendations of several food reviewers, but this place was much better! Highly recommend!

Outside

Came in 15 minutes after they opened & you can tell this place just opened up not to long ago. They have indoor & outdoor seating with nice music playing outdoors creating a vibe. The staff was friendly & helpful with my questions about the menu. The food was reeeeeally good, prices also good. Not excessively priced! I came huuuungry and got the Bonehead Burger & Dirty Angel Tots!! Didn't even end up eating all the tots (even after I shared them) because they're loaded!! Very good can't wait to come back!

So delicious

Super delicious and great service We used Groupon for two burgers, cheesy tots, beverages, and still had a credit!

Boneheaded Burger / Tater Tots

This my family's new favorite local burger spot in SD! The food was fantastic. Love the bold flavors on the burger. Being a major tot fan...since birth...I'd say they're Tater Tots are the best in town. The best part is the customer service. Blake was super down to earth and showed nothing but gratitude. Super good dude. We are definitely coming back on the regular.

Boneheaded burger

We loved it, got a Groupon that covered enough for 3 of us. The burgers are smashed (so we knew they would be crispy and well done) we ordered the bonehead burger, tater tots and fries and taters and fries were nice and crispy. Excellent friendly service. We went on the fourth.

Even the regular order was an incredibly generous helping of crispy, seasoned tater tots, great for sharing.

Disappointed with this burger and fries. I live just a few minutes away. First I tried to call, but…read morewas asked to call back in 2 minutes, because they had to make a milkshake. Went to the website and ordered online. Had some confusion because the website says 1/2 off fries with any burger order on Fridays. No option for the discount online, or it wasn't obvious how to make that happen. Placed order. Went to pick up about 12 mins later. What a strange experience for to walk into a restaurant on a Friday night with a total of 5 diners inside and not a single person to greet you or assist in where to pick up the order. I waited a few minutes until a worker came out from the back. She asked if I was there for a different order and I said no. She said it would be a few minutes the. No big deal, I take a seat at the empty bar and watch her make a milkshake. The place is sparkling clean and the worker is nice, so I'm giving them credit there. I mentioned the confusion about ordering a that there is a special on the website for Fridays. She said that it must've been for another location because "they have so many locations now." I'm posting a pic of the website's home page in photos. About 5 minutes later I get my order and take it home. I feel a little ripped off that this was a $32 burger and fries. The burger is okay, but of the 5 ingredients (bun, burger, cheese, special sauce and pickles) it's missing pickles. The fries ($10!) were soggy and just meh. The pics were taken as soon as I got home and opened the bag. I live 3 minutes away. Maybe the ingredients are high quality, but who cares if the execution is half-assed? I can't believe that if my wife and I would've ordered together, our meal could easily have been almost $70. No thanks. Do better. 2 stars because the burger wasn't awful, the worker was nice (if only uninformed or untrained) and the dining room/bar was super clean. Please do something about those bright fluorescent box lights though, ambience killer. Disappointed with this burger and fries. I live just a few minutes away.

Delicious. The whole thing is unbelievably soft and the flavor of the meat is impeccable. It also…read morehas some extra depth to it that I can't place. I want to say it uses cumin also, but honestly I'm not sure. I guess it's not exactly cheap, but well, it is what it is. The sweet pickles also give it an extra counter that wouldn't be offered by regular pickles. For my personal preference, I might like a little of something else in it. Like a bit of onion maybe, but that's just me. Both the burger and fries use this secret yellow-ish sauce that I suspect contains honey mustard and maybe some other salad dressing. The sidewinder fries are less like fries and more like potato wedges to me in size, texture, and taste. But they're good though (but I think they could be even better) They have a corkscrew shape that I don't usually see, like a spiral staircase.

I'm waiting for my OG double burger with no cheese and only raw onions l. My son Jordan is getting the fatty melt on Texas toast. French fries with mango habanero sauce on the side. In replacement of the no Lumpia I chose the Fried Pickles. They are still the same ownership so I will have to make a visit to their other location soon") I am not going to compare their burgers and just go with their own style and take. Fried pickles came out first and it was breaded and as I bite into it the pickle pulls away from the fried breading. It it well seasoned though ")! Waiting on our burgers for 30 minutes. They finally bring them to us. So the burger patties are like crumbled into the burger bun and doesn't hold up as well. There is a slight char going and patty is a little dry. I was not expecting the raw onions to just be cube cut and not round slices either. I don't know how how I feel yet but my son likes his Fatty Texas Toast Patty with the aoli sauce. Maybe try something else down the line. At least I tried it. Am not comparing to others l.

Rey TJ Burgers - What a wonderful establishment! It truly was the best burger I've ever had.

My two hour workout probably didn't make much of a dent in the decadence of this meal, but it was…read moreworth it! I came down here because I have a friend from up north who's come down here a few times and suggested this place. He said it's one of his favorite places when he's in town, so that's saying a lot if it's a top place for him and the family. He was right. This was a juicy and incredibly tasty burger. I'd say it's up there with Amboy in Chinatown (Los Angeles) or the newer Amboy spot at Haven City Marketplace in Covina. This place is a gem. Ordering can be a little misleading; hence minus one star. This is a food court setup, and there are menus for each restaurant in these individual stands that are placed on top of a snack wall. If you're going to order from Rey TJ Burgers, it'll be to the left of the main restaurant/register that's directly in front of you when you enter. The main line is Mexican (and seafood I believe?), so I was standing for a while until a lady realized I was holding the Rey TJ burger and called me over. Ordering was easy. Rey TJ's didn't have drinks, so I hard to order from the Mexican food line. The cucumber aqua fresca was AMAZING. Definitely one of the best experiences since I've had since I've moved to the San Diego area. I'm loving it here more and more. I've also had the opportunity to practice a lot of Spanish which I absolutely appreciate. The people here are amazing and much warmer than many of the parts of Los Angeles. Buen dia!

It's a food court with its own shared parking lot. When we went in there was a huge line to the door. As you go up the line, there are multiple menus placed to your left in which they have multiple different food options to choose from. Gave me anxiety as I felt rushed coming here for the first time. A line gathering up behind us, ppl in front of me, didn't want to be rude reaching over ppl to grab the menus. So just waited as we moved up to look at them. There's so many options it's overwhelming. Once we got to the front, we were trying to place our order only to find out we waited in line for nothing. The burger line was the empty line to the left which there's no signage or nothing to explain. We did order 1 adobada taco, a horchata, & a sprite. The girl forgot my sprite, told me to go order in the left line for burgers. So when I was placing our burger order, I asked for the sprite I never received. The cashier for burger spot said I have to go back into the other line to order that. Confusing af. Luckily it had 2 customers & not a line out the door like when we first arrived. I ordered the smoked brisket burger, my son the Russel cheeseburger, & my hubby the "burgers & fries." My son did not touch his burger, literally went to waste. My husband said his was ok. As for my brisket burger, I did not like mine at all. It was super salty. It came with a meat patty & CHUNKS of cubed brisket? When I got smoked brisket I assumed it would've been like a pulled pork texture. Quite the opposite. They were chunks of cubed meat. I didn't finish mine. We took everything to go & didn't eat the leftovers once home. We paid around $50 for some less than mediocre burgers that I could've done better at home. I liked that the food court had a self serve salsa bar with plenty of salsas, ingredients, etc. The presentation of the food was good! But the food just wasn't it for us. Probably would never return tbh. Also, when we were wrapping up - the server was hovering over us to finish so she could take the boards/fry basket back. Not like we're gonna steal them. Lol. But I get it, maybe previous patrons have put them near the trash or thrown them away. As the burger place may be its own individual business aside from the food court.

The cheesy patty on rye bread was still delicious, and there were more fries than I could eat. Not much of a crowd except for the comics themselves, maybe 10-12 with a very entertaining host in between. All were good but many were hilarious including a first-timer. Fun vibe for sure, I would happily go again. I deducted one star because as a new guest, I asked the bartender if they had any special house cocktails. She seemed to hear the word special and thought I meant cheap. I said not necessarily cheap, but do you have any interesting house cocktails here. She said no, so I ordered something boring. Then I got the food menu which on the back had an entire list of house cocktails. But service overall was excellent.

This particular occasion, myself and another patron sat down at the bar and waited....and waited...and..... Finally I asked the cook if there was a bartender. He told me "no bartender. the bar is closed for an hour". Now wouldnt you think that IF the bar was closed at a Bar and Grill they would maybe close the doors and not let people sit there and wait for somebody that never shows up? Just a thought. I dont know if they changed ownership possibly, but this kind of (lack of) service is not going to fly with the general public. Its a shame. I use to love this place.
