Burger Deck - I think this was called decker fries - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

I came here as I had heard that the burgers were delicious, and I can't lie and say it wasn't good. The burger was tasty, the service was a little absent, and the atmosphere was nice. Outdoor seating, umbrellas over some tables, and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Back to the service, I waited a moment (2 min, wondering at first if someone was away for a moment) and the staffer appeared from the back area, and took she took my order, which was simple enough, a couple burgers, The Deck (double smash burgers with cheese). I waited by the counter overlooking the street, and people watching, noticed of the two occupied tables only one had food, and the other table of 3, were chatting, so I was not sure if the were just hanging out or waiting, as there was another restaurant, Shakespeare's next door (their fish and chips is delicious). After about 7-10 min, I realized they were also waiting on food, so I went downstairs to order food from Rubicon, and my house had a few separate orders. I was down there for about 25 minutes, getting one sandwich, (another review, which I cut my order to only 1 sandwich, and we split at home, just due to the service). When I came back upstairs, my food didn't seem ready, but then from a side door the group had their burgers, fries and onion rings delivered hot and fresh to them with an apology that they were short staffed today. The cook, came out again and handed me my food , and offered the same apology. The connecting dot here is this was the attendant from downstairs, who seemed to be going up and downstairs, he was giving the cook a break and I believed didn't plan on it being a busy day ... Or busier than expected. The burger 4 stars, unfortunately shortcomings regardless impact especially service. I appreciated the handling, though being forthcoming at the onset would have shown concern for the client base and allowed for understanding. read more

So so good! The service was great and the place was super clean for being all outdoors! Food was yummy, will definitely return!

Legit smash burger spot. Crispy edges and the ratio of meat to cheese to bun is spot on. Also, every time I've been here it wasn't busy. So it's a great place to grab lunch without the crowds. read more

We were looking for some place new, and BD came up. They have outdoor seating, and it's in this cool little area of India Street with other restaurants and a theater space. The young girl was friendly. My friend asked a lot of questions that not only annoyed me, but her too...LOL! The Dirty Deck was really good! Nice flavors on a good bun! I liked the crispy shoestring fries. They have sodas and beer and I got a Stone Delicious, not bad. I didn't take photos of the burgers because we were so hungry and just dove in. Looking forward to coming back! read more

If you're hunting for the best smashburger in San Diego, Burger Deck is it. We tried The Deck, Deck Fillet, Dirty Deck, and Dirty Deck Fries--and honestly, everything was on point. The burgers were crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Simple ingredients, but done perfectly. One thing I really appreciated: no post-burger bloat. I left full but not uncomfortable, which never happens! My kids loved theirs too (which says a lot). Also, don't skip the spicy aioli--it's the perfect balance of heat and flavor. The outdoor seating is super chill with an amazing view--perfect spot to relax and enjoy your meal. Ratings: Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 We'll absolutely be coming back. Great food, great vibes! read more

This little spot is a deck right by Shakespeare's pub. It could be tricky to find parking if it was a particularly busy day, but we were luckily in and out. The girl working at the front counter was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the burger was great. They also had their own version of animal style fries, which I preferred with the pickled onions. I would definitely recommend trying them out if you want a good burger. Prices are good, but just so you know it's one of those places you order fries separately from the burger lol read more

Burger Deck isn't fancy, but it doesn't need to be. The food was solid, and the person behind the counter was incredibly nice--he even gave me a free refill while I sat there enjoying the beautiful San Diego scenery and watching the cars go by Great vibes and friendly service. read more

Certainly not for everyone! We liked it. Simple menu. I used to be a mandatory french fries person, but no longer. I loved being able to order just a burger. My friend generally doesn't like smashburgers, but enjoyed this one. It was a gorgeous day to sit outside. So easy. I appreciated the simplicity. read more

Service, food, and ambience. Those are the things that I have never experienced in such a profound degree until coming to this establishment that was sent from the realm up above. I got the mischievously named dirty deck, and oh boy I looked like I ate the dirty deck afterwards XD. Seriously, amazing place with wonderful customer service, can't wait to come back!!! read more

Checked out Burger Deck in the Mission Hills / India St area. Got the $12 Baja Deck--a smash burger with thick-cut bacon, fresh jalapeno slices, lettuce, tomato, and a tasty chipotle aioli.. and their really well done medium thickness fries ($5). I'm a sauce guy; and I can't tell you how I deplore needing to ASK for sauce of any kind. This place does NOT make you do that, which earns them extra high marks from me. The ketchup and Chipotle aioli are all right on the counter for you, along with a cilantro lime aioli (which I dipped a few bites of my burger in) and I think regular ranch--all freely accessible and yummy. Note: it's UPSTAIRS (which explains why I didn't see it when I first arrived), and has outdoor seating with little picnic tables that have umbrellas over them. There's also a quirky little shop up there with British gifts, foods, teas and things. Recommended spot! read more

Burger Deck - The Baja Deck with truffle fries - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here because of reviews obviously... can't say I was impressed. The bun was just a little too much. Patty had good flavor but it was just an ok burger. The loaded fries were better but I feel like they could do without raw chopped onion and pickled onion. May try it again in the future but won't drive out of my way. Maybe I came on a bad day. Wait wasn't bad. Pricey. The girl at register was really nice. read more

Lovely burger joint in mission hills to satisfy your burger cravings! Their burger was juicy, slightly crisp on the edges with a lovely bun that was pillowy and soft. The pickles and sauce tied everything together for a symphony of heavenly bliss for your palate. Please get the truffle fries, they were simply amazing ! Thin and crispy with a subtle truffle flavor, it was the perfect texture and flavor in my opinion! They offer several sauces like ranch, chipotle jalapeño ranch, chipotle aioli, ketchup, etc. The sauces were the perfect complement to the fries. These fries will definitely live rent free in my mind! This establishment is located above rubicon deli and there is metered street parking right in the front. Prices are very fair for the quality and deliciousness you will be getting! read more

Better than I thought it would be! We tried both the regular bun and the pretzel bun but the pretzel bun was definitely superior. The fries were also really well seasoned and didn't even need the sauces they offer - they were that good! I'll be telling everyone about this place now! read more

Tried their Dirty Deck burger during their 1 year anniversary event. On this day, your Dirty Deck burger is only $1, with a purchase of fries and drink, no substitutions/alterations. I paid $9/meal and I'm glad I came during this event because I wouldn't pay original price for this. The smash burger tasted good and was a hearty size, but not worth the original price of $13... $20 if you make it a meal. Fries are nothing special. Drinks are just bottles of sodas and water. Could find better and cheaper smash burgers in SD. Service was nice from the gentleman but our pager didn't work so we didn't know our food was ready until we checked up on it. Limited seating just outdoors. Noticed cockroaches by our feet which wasn't cool. Street parking only read more

Burger Deck - Single smash and fry combo and a Double Dirty Deck with onion rings! (Hazy IPA not pictured!!! lol) - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

We're new to the neighborhood and have been trying different restaurants in the area. I was excited to try the burgers here, but unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. When my daughter and I came in after school, the first red flag was that no one was at the register for a while. While I was ordering, another customer came up asking about her food, which had already taken over 20 minutes. Our own order took 27 minutes, and the restaurant wasn't even busy. The cashier was rarely at the front -- customers waiting for refills had to call her out from the back. When our food finally came, it was not what I expected. My burger was mediocre at best, and my daughter's burger -- a $20 burger -- was really poor quality. I was charged extra for add-ons, which I didn't mind, but then my order came missing bacon, and when it did show up, it was just a single piece. The tray was dirty and hadn't even been wiped down, which added to the frustration. We ended up paying $57 for two meals, and honestly, it was not worth it. I was hungry so I ate it, but I won't be coming back. read more

Best Burger in town!!!! Truffle fries is a must get. The customer service is excellent.

Amazing Fries and the best Onion rings I've ever had. The burgers are very well seasoned and awesome presentation.

Great service, great food! Nice deck area with 5 tables and bar top seating. Space heaters around the tables for chillier evenings

This is the burger joint you have been searching for. Patties smashed thin and griddled to slightly crisp. Damn fine. I had the dirty double deck and I am already hooked. A side of truffle fries and some of that chipotle dipping sauce.... Mmmmhmmmm these are the burgers that I smoke up my kitchen for when I make them at home. Setting off the smoke detector... no more! Burger deck can hook these up for the family for now on! If you are looking for thick meatloaf like patties where you got to take a temp on them this is not your burger joint. These puppies are all about the surface area and a very hot griddle to crisp up the fat. It yields a particular type of burger and I am 100% here for it. The fries are shoestring, crispy and salty and I am sitting here reminiscing about my lunch 7 hours later wishing I got an extra order to go. read more

Amazing burgers-- we came after reading reviews and it was worth the hype! Great service. We left very happy after a long day at the zoo.

First of all, the shoe string fries are wonderfully crispy! I'm a big fan of shoe string fries and the seasoning they put on it was delicious. I got 3 burgers to share with my boyfriend and our favorite was the dirty deck. The caramelized onions and mustard added a really nice element to the burger. Most of the burgers come with two patties so come hungry! The whole sitting area is also a really nice place to just eat and chill with some friends. Overall a great burger joint! read more

We came to go to Rubicon, but after looking at the menu here, we had to try it. It was super good. The burger was a good size, which it would have to be at the price. I love the sauces, they have Ketchup, Chipotle Aioli, Ranch and Cilantro Jalepeno ranch all out and free to get. The fries were tasty, definitely a big enough basket to share. I will definitely be back. read more

Burger Deck - Deck Burger and Fries with all the sauces - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

To be kind their burger is most assuredly horrendous; I say this without an iota of exaggeration. I have submitted over 640 reviews and unequivocally this by far is the worst, period, full stop. Minus 10 stars. Fellow Yelpers, Jack in the Box, and Sonic offer Smash Burgers that are definitely far superior to this abomination (truly) and they do so at HALF the price of this tragic atrocity they dane to call a Smash Burger. Save your $$$ Yelpers and look anywhere else for your Smash Burger. Thank God they are Not Handicap accessible, long staircase to ascend. Terrible parking, no indoor seating. Terrible service, they have a bell on the counter (Not unlike the bell you'll often find at those cheap motels) I had to ring it thrice. I descended the long staircase and so the dude ran after me begging me to return upstairs once again and without asking, even gave me cookies and then charged me ($3.50) for those same cookies what a piece of work. LOLOL Also, the dude overcharged me on the Credit Card, I called Visa and got it reversed, always check your receipt. read more

If you love Smashburger, this is definitely the spot for you came here because I've been going to Rubicon deli forever and wanted to try out this new spot which is right above it on the deck obviously. Me and my wife both got appetizer she got the dirty fries. I got the onion rings which were amazing. I got to take a bite of her fries and they were tasty She loved them. We each got a burger. Also I got the Baja burger, which is a double smash patty with cheese and jalapeños on it so yummy. She got the dirty deck, which is also a double patty with caramelized onions and she also loved it. Lots of seating. Seating is outside so it's nice and a good vibe. Definitely coming back and don't forget to ask for a side of their deck sauce. read more
