    The Deck
    Michelle K.

    We were looking for a new burger spot and decided to stop at the Burger Deck based on the high rating. However for 9pm on a Friday night, this place was dead. Still, we decided to give it a chance. I had a pretty negative initial reaction when we first got there. Not only was the staff initially quite rude, but there were also multiple cockroaches in the deck area that gave us the heebie jeebies. I imagine it is a nice spot during the day when the sun is shining, as it looks out west towards the airport. The food at least somewhat made up for the sour initial experience. We got the Deck, the Baja Deck and the truffle fries. It had good flavor but was also extremely greasy. However for the price it's quite reasonable. Skip the milkshake though. It's prepackaged and mixed with water, not worth the $8

    Baja Deck

    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. 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. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for a smash burger.

    Truffle fries
    Bobby T.

    Absolutely delicious. Only drawback is the parking and the stairs. The burgers are amazing. The fries are crispy and coated. Love the truffle fries. The food came out quick and hot! Service was good! The meat to bun ratio is absolute perfection. The cheese was melted perfectly. Fresh lettuce and tomatoes. Grilled onions is a must! Love that they have all outdoor seating. There's also a bathroom and it's needed. The burgers are all messy in the best way possible.

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

    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!

    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.

    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. 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!

    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

    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.

One thing that's cool about this spot is that it's open until 2:00AM--yeah you heard that right! Big backs have a new late night home in central San Diego! Anyways, I ordered the single-patty SmokeShack burger combo with regular fries and a large Diet Coke. The staff member who brought me the food asked if wanted sauces and happily obliged my request for their signature Shake Shack sauce and ranch. The food showed up looking very tasty and well-presented. The fries kick In-N-Out's butt any day, though that's a pretty low bar to set if we're being honest. The burger was a little greasy, but it was super flavorful and tasted like pretty high-quality meat. I liked this a lot more than In-N-Out--sincerely. One downside is the ranch. It's kind of not that ranch-y to me. I think it's lacking dill and a bit too heavy on the mayo. The house sauce shreds In-N-Out spread though. The other primary downside of this place is the price tag. It's debatable whether $20 for this plate is justified, but in a world where a Big Mac meal costs about $14 after tax, I guess it's fine.

Perfect amount of sauce and sides. Delicious & the beans had bacon flavor but no bacon bits, really good. None of these would have been complete without the salsas, chile queso, AND ask for their spicy salsa (which is more of a hot sauce style salsa) but it's soooo good and adds such a perfect acidity to the dishes. 3) the Chocolate Tres leches I'd give a 7/10- it wasn't as moist as I expected but the crunchy topping and sauce made it yummy! Actually took most of it to go, and poured the remaining sauce on the plate on top -- it was soooo much better two hours later with the moisture being absorbed!!! Margarita pitcher is worth it if you are getting two - three margs on happy hour. For the queso dip (in enchilada photo), enchiladas, and tres leches on restaurant week was $30. Regular menu prices are also worth it, but happy hour is key, too! Good vibes, great service. We'll absolutely be back!

I enjoy eating authentic Mexican cuisine. I parked my car in their parking lot then I walked inside their front door. I talked to the owner Caesar and asked him How long has he been in business at this Starling Drive location in San Diego, CA? Caesar said he's been operating his California Burrito Restaurant business for 20 years now. Caesar also said to me that he works with his wife and grown children at his Mexican restaurant every day. My order was placed by Caesar today for my lunch time meal at 12:30 PM. I ordered one Beans and Cheese Burrito. The price is $7.50. Then I had to pay a tip of 20 percent that came up to $1.25. The tax was $1.50. My total purchase today was $9.25. I had to wait at least 30 minutes later until my order number 109 was called to the front counter today. There was non stop walk in customers coming into this California Burrito Restaurant at the lunch hour between 12:30 AM to 2:30 PM today. Their majority of their customers were of Mexican descent and I saw only 3 Black People placing their orders with Caesar today. I was the only Asian person ordering from this California Burrito Restaurant this afternoon. I also noticed 2 Nurses picking up their orders today who work for Sharp Memorial Hospital today. This man and woman nurse were of Caucasian descent. It's interesting for me to get to know the population of people who are living nearby this Starling Drive location. Caesar called my order number 109 today. Then I was served a really HUGE Beans and Cheese Burrito. I also drank cold ice water today. It was a beautiful day today because the weather conditions were very cool and cloudy. I sat down at this window seat so I could see the outside. The Beans and Cheese Burrito was very tasty the beans were refried and thete was a very generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese. The Tortilla was heated up and slightly toasted. This Beans and Cheese Burrito was a HUGE Size. I wasn't sure that I had an appetite to finish eating this Beans and Cheese Burrito but the flavor was amazing! I kept taking small bites on this Beans and Cheese Burrito for my lunch time meal this afternoon. I also received excellent customer service from Caesar and the rest of his family I saw was working very hard in the back kitchen area preparing and making their very popular Carne Asada Burritos. I also saw Caesar and an older lady sweeping up the floor and also mopping up the floor inside their front entrance to their California Burrito Restaurant Caesar told me to come in again soon to try their Steak Carne Asada Burrito. This item is the most popular food in their California Burrito Menu. I told Cesar the owner 3 I will dine inside his restaurant again soon. I love Carne Asada Burritos.
