If you're going to burger and fry it, this is the way! Price is a little up there, but your taste buds will understand why. The beef tallow fries were sooooo good. Crispy edges, fluffy center, ACTUAL potato. The garlic fries had bold fresh garlic and are cooked in avocado oil, but leaned a little soggy. Shockingly, I preferred the classic tallow fries. Husband and I split two doubles. The Garlic Mushroom Burger was juicy, savory, and loaded with mushrooms, pickles, American cheese, and garlic spread. The Flamin Smash had jalapeño, pickles, American cheese, and chipotle spread. Big flavor, gentle kick, & hella satisfying. Washed it all down with the Cucumber Lemonade that's sweetened with agave syrup. Not too sweet! I didn't catch the cashier's name, but he was super friendly and helpful. Cozy, clean spot with a patio on the side for extra seating. Service was crazy fast. This place is a bit far from me and I am already planning the drive back! That's how you know it smash-ed!

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.

We came with friends from church after service on Mother's Day. One family suggested this place and it seemed interesting from the Yelp! Reviews. It was early evening and the rush hasn't started. I got the Chorizo Diablo and my wife got their mushroom cheese burger along with fries and onion rings. They offer stubborn soda line so had the root beer. My burger was messy but delicious and my wife thought that her burger was a bit bland. I never consider mushroom burgers an option, always the beef for me! Fries and onion rings were tasty. Next time I'll try their fig jam sliders, this sounds interesting. There's plenty of seating both inside and out. And it's dog-friendly...we might bring our corgi the next time we come. Yes, we'll return to try their other offerings.

My visit to George's Burgers started off disappointing when we arrived shortly after 10am and…read moreimmediately noticed a strange smell inside the nearly empty restaurant. There was only one cook and one cashier, and although the cashier was somewhat friendly, her attitude and expressions made the interaction feel uncomfortable. The food took a while to come out, the restroom was dirty with a strong odor, and the burgers tasted unfresh while the fries were just okay and the zucchini had a strange flavor. The chili cheese fries were especially bad, the chili tasted burnt, and after only a couple small bites we couldn't eat them. When I asked for a refund on the chili cheese fries, the cashier hesitated because we had taken a few tiny bites, and although the cook eventually approved it, the poor customer service and low food quality, we will never return here again.

The burgers are smaller than some other places but they come with fries which fill you up leaving you very satisfied with the quality of the meal. Highly recommend :)

First time here for Trivia night! Brewery pub feel. They also have retail (sweatshirts, t-shirts,…read morehats etc) love the cute pins too! Skateboards. They have tables and bar stools etc. Mixed seating. They have a selection of brews, I tried a seltzer because I don't drink beer. The kitchen closes early, last call is around 8pm. Burgers and fries variations and a hot dog. Only thing is I wish they had chicken wings! Bummed about that, especially for a pub? Their fries were my fav, hot and crispy! Seasoned well. They have free parking, which is a bonus. They are located in Escondido, San Diego. Sunset Trivia night on 7pm Thursdays! Awesome host Jason did an entertaining job.

I don't write Yelp reviews lightly, but The Side Yard absolutely deserves the praise…read more From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is something special. The atmosphere strikes that rare balance between relaxed neighborhood charm and thoughtfully curated design. It feels intimate without being cramped, lively without being loud. Whether you're meeting friends for brunch or settling in for a long, unhurried dinner, the space just works. The food is outstanding. Every dish feels intentional--fresh ingredients, bold but balanced flavors, and presentation that elevates the experience without being pretentious. You can taste the quality. The menu manages to be creative while still delivering comfort and approachability. It's the kind of place where you start planning what you'll order next time before you've even finished your plate. Service was equally impressive. Warm, knowledgeable, and attentive without hovering. The staff clearly take pride in what they're serving and genuinely want you to have a great experience. Hidden Meadows is lucky to have a spot like this. The Side Yard isn't just a restaurant--it's a destination. Five stars, easily. I'll absolutely be back.

You can either close out right away or keep your tab open. There's bar seating with TVs and also patio seating available. It has a cute, comfy vibe that was welcoming. We had the Classic burger, Chicken Caesar wrap, and a side of Parmesan garlic fries. Everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked great. We can't wait to come back and try the wings next time. My only complaint is that their burgers, sandwiches, and wraps are $15/$16 and are à la carte. At that price, I think they should come with a side.

There is a nice indoor/outdoor vibe as there are some really big glass garage type windows that open (or close). The service has always been very prompt and friendly. I keep going back to their pizza's as they are quite good. I also suggest checking the special of the day as they usually have some pretty cool ones. They also have beer! Quite a few to be honest and if you aren't sure they are great at helping you figure out what works for you. For good food served by nice people in a clean and modern environment, this is the place!

Something feels off here. The vibes in this place are weird and looking into the yelp page…read moreconfirmed my suspicion. First off, Im 100% sure the owner here uses ChatGPT to answer all negative yelp reviews. Any business owner worth their weight is able to think for themselves and use their brain to answer unless they're completely illiterate or too incompetent to think of a good response. Second off, are they even a brewery? I see cans and taps of their own beer, but looking into the business, I dont think they own a brewery at all. This is more along the lines of a taphouse/pub. THAT BEING SAID, the food is quite nice. I think the pizza is great and it feels like they make and roll their own dough which is respectable and ambitious for a random little spot like this. But It is quiet...too quiet. The beer tender would constantly hangout at the handicap table talking to any co-worker with free time on their hands for a long time. Seems like a cushy job honestly. I'm assuming they would hold conversation with customers, but unfortunately There were no customers... its a ghost town, and i left thinking, "This place is creepy." I'll just pick up and eat the pizza at home next time. I'm waiting to see what generic CHATGPT response the owner gives me.

The girl at the counter was very friendly and helped me to order. I ordered the original double combo. I filled my drink and grabbed a seat. It wasn't long before my order was ready. There were several sauces to choose from. I liked that they were different than other burger places. My burger was good but I added a bit of salt. 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.

The fries are like horseshoe style, which I could live without no meat to bite down Into. But the onion rings were great. Crispy. And the batter was light and air and didn't completely disintegrate when bent or bit ( I will say that with my burger they only gave 7 rings and was told the next size up would be double so like 14 rings) they were delicious. They are also giving a single serving custard, vanilla with sprinkles or chocolate with chocolate chips, with their kids meal in lieu of a toy. Service: friendly quick service and personable. Take away: I would definitely come back opt for the triple and double up on the rings and leave with a concrete which they will prepare at the end of your meal.
