    Chill, laid-back spot with a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind. The food is solid--nothing overly fancy, but well-prepared and satisfying, with enough variety to keep things interesting. Service is friendly and unpretentious, which fits the overall vibe of the place. The view is a real highlight and adds a lot to the experience, especially if you're there around sunset or during good weather. It's the kind of place you can sit back for a while, enjoy your meal, and not feel rushed to leave. Overall, a great casual spot for a low-key meal with a nice setting.

    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. 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! 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!

    This has got to be one of the best burgers in SD! It's located above Rubicon Deli. It's a little rooftop deck area with some picnic tables and bar seating. 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!

    The lovely patio.

    This is probably my 5th time here. Awesome burgers, pleasant patio atmosphere, 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!

    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.

    Great tasting burger. The employees were very polite and attentive. Nice spot to sit and eat.

    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.

    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

    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 !!!

    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!

    The Deck

    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.

    Single deck burger, shoestring fries, jalapeño ranch, regular ranch, chipotle ranch
    shelby m.

    The burger was seasoned so well and so crispy around the edges. The fries are crisp and well seasoned but a little cold. The service was lacking unfortunately, the wait staff was short when ordering, a member of my party asked for the space heaters to be turned on they never were, the ketchup dispenser had ranch coming out of the top of the pump even after staff took it away to be cleaned. Ambiance was casual but can be cold!! Bring a sweater. Open seating

My coworker and I got the elote and the chicken tinga cheese crisp to share. The elote was okay.

It's a small tack shop style place, made more for to-go orders. Service was fast and friendly. Their horchata is where they really lose a star, it's from a fountain and tastes like it, watered down artificial flavor.
