Found this burger spot online. Seeing everyone rave about how delicious it was, I made a special…read moretrip to try it myself--and it was absolutely worth the drive. No wonder it's a Michelin-recommended spot and the most popular burger joint in Oceanside. Social media didn't lie at all! They use top-tier USDA Prime Grade Brandt beef, a premium grade that less than 5% of beef in the entire US qualifies for. Made with the classic smash thin-press method, the patties are crispy on the edges, juicy and tender in the middle, bursting with meaty flavor. Must-order signature: Dirty Double -- a 2/3 pound double patty with beef bacon, caramelized onions, and house special sauce, served on a soft brioche bun. It's incredibly addictive. Their beef tallow fries are double-fried in pure beef fat, crispy outside, fluffy inside, with a rich savory beef aroma. Another great pick is the Dirty Fries, topped with crumbled beef patty and garlic aioli, absolutely delicious . The chef comes from a Michelin-starred fine dining background, so the seasoning and every little detail are perfectly executed. The restaurant is located in Oceanside, a bit out of the way, but perfect for a stop if you're heading north. The vibe is casual and laid-back with comfy outdoor seating, pet-friendly policy, and efficient, friendly staff. There's still a line even outside peak meal hours, but the wait is totally worth it . Prices are higher than fast-food burgers, around $16 each, but you definitely get what you pay for.

We moved chairs around and grabbed blankets and got it worked out without any help from staff. Porkbelly appetizer was overcooked and lacked anything special that made it memorable. The pork chop was also overcooked and the grits were very thick.. cheesy but not creamy. The short ribs were dry.... Strange for braised meat and not enough sauce. The sauce was really good as were the mashed potatoes and carrots. The burger was excellent. Really juicy with a great bun. The atmosphere is very cool and inviting. I would return for burgers and to try the fried chicken. It looked awesome coming out of the kitchen. The burger was excellent.

We got the Prosciutto and Arugula flatbread, which was very thin and crispy. The truffle fries were really good and we had them with their chipotle aioli. We also both got raspberry lemonades which were very sweet and refreshing. The coconut shrimp was really really good. My boyfriend was obsessed. I don't often love any kind of fried or battered shrimp but these were so good. I definitely want to come back!

I instantly set a reservation (didn't really need it) and we arrived around 4pm on a Tuesday and sat on the patio. Happy hour is daily from 4-6pm and if you sit on the recently renovated patio, drinks are 50% off. I ordered the Ribeye as my birthday entree and we also ordered the Fried Zucchini ($7), Popcorn Chicken ($9), Guajillo Braised Pork Shoulder ($21) and several cocktails ($7 each during HH). Everything was great honestly. No complaints. My wife REALLY loved the braised pork shoulder. My steak was excellent and even though it was free, $32 for a ribeye is the lowest you'll find anywhere. It was nice having not having to fight for a seat. Enjoying a cocktail on the patio in perfect weather is something everyone should try. Highly recommend coming to Mission Ave Bar & Grill for happy hour and to check out the new patio. Make sure to register for their mailing list to get birthday offers too!
