    Baja Deck
    Ashley M.

    The burger doesn't look like much, but it's absolutely delicious! I ordered the Baja Deck, which comes with a single smash patty, cheddar cheese, thick-cut bacon, fresh jalapeño, butter lettuce, vine-ripened tomato, and chipotle mayo. The fries are crispy and taste like they've been seasoned with salt. To order, you go to a window, and it's usually pretty quick from ordering to food delivery. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating is outdoor, and the good news is that San Diego's weather is nearly perfect year-round, so you can enjoy your burger outdoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend if you are in the mood for a smash burger.

    Delicious burgers, fries and ambiance! The food is fresh and fast. Service was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a lovely patio outside with a great view![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This has got to be one of the best burgers in SD! It's located above Rubicon Deli. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a little rooftop deck area with some picnic tables and bar seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is fast and really nice and friendly! This was a huge burger! I got the double cheeseburger with bacon, avocado and grilled onions. I love my smash burger seared with a little bit of crunch. It was seasoned perfectly and hit the spot! The potato bun was soft on the inside and crispy on the edges. I got the truffle fries which were so good! I like the skinny fries because they're crispier. It had the perfect amount of truffle to it. My kiddo said it was the best burgers she's ever had. She mixed the Swiss with American with a side of fries. They serve milkshakes, glass sodas, fountain drinks, and beer on tap. I'll definitely be back to satisfy those burger cravings!

    Burger Deck is one of my favorite smash burger places. It's located off of Washington St off the 5 fwy and finding parking isn't too difficult. There is outdoor seatings with umbrella on a deck just like its name. To order at the counter, usually need to ring the bell to call for someone as it could take a while to take your order but the food comes out pretty quick. There is a self-serve water station with cups and 4 different sauce options. The burgers are pretty good. I appreciate the butter lettuce used for the smash burgers. However for the lettuce wrapped burger, they left the stump on the romaine lettuce which I thought was odd. The fries can be a bit too salty for the shoestring fries. Anyhow, this isn't a big deal and would be back.

    The guy was kind of quiet. Not much expression or talking but I could tell he was being nice. Food was good. I just wasn't sure about the pricing at $12-13. +$5 for combo of fries and soda on any burger.

    Loved this place! The burgers and fries were so yummy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor area is such a vibe, with lots of picnic tables to hang out at, and you can watch the planes fly by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely come back!

    Onion rings
    Dung N.

    Burger Deck is located on the rooftop of Rubicon Deli. I chose the Dirty Deck and he ordered the Baja Deck (double smash). We also got a side of onion rings and some dirty fries. The smash burgers were very filling and flavorful! The onion rings were delicious and crispy. The fries came with chopped beef patty, pickles, pickled onions, smothered in deck sauce. It was too loaded for me haha! I think I'd rather get some truffle fries next time!

    If you want a good smash burger no a great smash burger this is your place! While the menu is on the smaller side as is a burger chain all you need is a few options. There's burgers are so juicy, caramelized onions toasted buns and based on what burger you pick different sauce and other options. All burger meals are served with shoe string fries. Their deck top where you sit to eat is so peaceful and nice. Before we leave San Diego we are hitting this spot again. Oh and by the way they do have a happy hour !!!

    I visited for my first time yesterday to try a happy hour beer. I was very surprised by their Candy IPA, so good! Ordered the buffalo fries which came with chicken & bacon, mmmm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The deck was a bit loud with the noise from I/5, but you have a small view of the Airport, and you're drinking a tasty brew and yummy eats, so don't complain![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Laylonie was SO friendly, describing the variety of beers, and letting me sample them. She was an absolute JOY! I will return very soon & hope to be a regular!

    The lovely patio.

    This is probably my 5th time here. Awesome burgers, [[HIGHLIGHT]]pleasant patio atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and great service. Fernando was very friendly and efficient even though it was busy (FIFA on a Friday night.). Glad we have this spot in south Mission Hills!

    I love a good smash burger and the burger deck does not disappoint. Delicious burgers and fries. Will definitely come back the next time I visit SD. 10/10

    The Deck
    Marcie L.

    I came here on a Sunday around 1pm. You order at the counter, and it's all outdoor seating. They do have heaters, which is nice. Street parking was easy to find, which was a plus. When I walked up, there wasn't anyone at the register so I had to wait a few minutes before being helped. I ordered The Deck, which is their smashburger. The burger itself was really good. Great flavor and cooked well. I personally prefer a softer bun, but that's just me. It's a bit pricey for what feels like a fast-casual spot, especially since fries aren't included. On the bright side, dogs are allowed, which is always a nice touch. Overall, solid burger, but between the price and the service, there are better spots out there.

    Service was great. Waitress was holding the place down by herself very impressively…read more I got the famous rosiemac burger double patty and it was very delicious however I think the cheese may have overpowered it and I think next time I would choose one without the cheese completely. Onion rings were ok. Nothing to rave about honestly. The seasoning on it made them seem nicer but I think it just took away from a good ol fashioned onion rings, they also added a seasoning to the ranch to pair with the onion ring and I wasn't a huge fan. Next time I definitely want to try a different burger and opt for the elote fries or no fries at all. I'm just happy to finally be able to cross this place off my list of must tries, lol.

Everything is fresh, cooked to perfection, and explained very well when brought to the table. I forgot the name of the burger I tried, but it was chicken based that was like a curry infused (it was yellow) and I thought it was a nice edition to the menu. Side note, you might want to wear gloves or eat with knife and fork as you'll be using a lot of napkins for sure (haha) I will continue to show the love for this place and enjoy this as one of my "special treat meals". Thanks for the wonderful experience.

    Its San Diego time again!…read more I have been to the original Hodad's in Ocean Beach, so during a staycay in the San Diego Gaslamp, I said I gotta hit up this location on Broadway. The portions are big and the quality of the food is very good. The breading and seasoning on the chicken was tasty AF. Secondarily, the burgers are 1/4 lb and a single is plenty for a normal person. Lastly, the rings were thicc and GBD. Unfortunately, we sat in traffic for 3 hrs from OC, when it normally takes 1 1/2 hrs: We were really hungry, and Hodads met our needs. Regarding the ambiance, its a bit grunge but np for me. The name has a whole lot of nostalgia in SD. The service was friendly & warm. Our food came out quickly. The only downside was the chicken & rings needed some kinda sauce, but otherwise everything else was great. Would def return the next time I am in the area.

    Rocky's Burgers is a casual burger spot located in Pacific Beach, known for its juicy burgers,…read moresimple menu, and convenient location in a busy beachside area with a laid-back, local vibe. Pros: I got the half-pound burger with fries and it was really good overall. The burger was super juicy, well-cooked, and had that classic hearty, satisfying taste you want from a solid burger spot. The portion size was generous, especially with the half-pound patty, and the fries were a great side to round out the meal. The location in Pacific Beach is also a big plus. It's in a great area with lots going on, so it's easy to grab food and walk around afterward or make it part of a beach day. The overall vibe of the spot feels casual and fitting for PB--nothing overly fancy, just good comfort food done right. Cons: Since it's in a busy beach area, parking and crowds can be a bit of a challenge depending on the time you go. It's more of a casual grab-and-go or quick dine-in spot, so don't expect a sit-down restaurant experience with a lot of space or quiet seating. During peak beach hours, it can also get pretty busy. Verdict: Overall, Rocky's Burgers is a great spot in Pacific Beach if you're craving a juicy, satisfying burger in a fun beachside area. The half-pound burger and fries hit the spot, and it's a solid choice for a casual meal before or after hanging out in PB.

In this case, The Friendly deserves its recognition as a no nonsense establishment that embodies Bourdain's wisdom. Let's get into it. Cuisine: 5/5.

Who would have thought that a medium size smash burger could pack in the flavor without breaking the bank? It's simple. It's flavorful. And it's affordable. You can enjoy the burger while your pie is being prepared. I've tried a few of the pizzas and they're all solid, and still better than Lou Malnati's in Chicago. Look, when you're jaded from overpaying for whack burgers in L.A. (Wally's & Marvito come to mind), it's easy to be shocked back into reality by good food at reasonable prices. Beverages: 4/5. Beer. Sodas. $1 off if you shotgun the beer. Say less. Service: 5/5. No frills. No performative friendliness. Just a direct style of communication and the efficiency of the staff. Thank you! Buen provecho

This place is a rough diamond for certain, and I hope they never try to polish it up. My usual order is the Shitkicker burger, onion rings, and something on tap, though I've select a can now and again. The flavor of the burger never fails to satisfy, with perfect patties, melts cheese, and bbq sauce. So many burger joints do crumb crusted onion rings, so the Friendly's battered beauties are a treat of an alternative and always golden brown and crispy. I enjoy the patio setting, even in the summer heat, because there are usually enough shady seats to go around, and the family and dog-friendliness is a plus. Should I add the prices can't be beat? Enjoy the Friendly. Everything you want, nothing you don't.
