Every bite was delicious! Of course, we had to get milkshakes to go, and our absolute favorite is the strawberry shake! the death by chocolate one is a close second!!! It's seriously SO good! The food, quality, and overall experience make this place a 10/10 for us. We'll definitely be back again, and I would highly recommend Duke's to anyone looking for a great meal!

Duke's Old Fashioned Onion Burgers has become a pretty popular spot in La Mesa. Every time I've…read moredriven by, there's always a steady stream of people coming in and out, so I figured it was finally time to see what the hype was about. They also rotate fun milkshake specials, and when I visited they had an Apple Pie Milkshake that sounded really good. I just wasn't in the mood for something sweet that day. I kept it simple and ordered the Single Onion Burger ($13.95) with mayo, ketchup, and lettuce, plus an order of the Original Fries ($5.75). The onion burger is made with fresh ground beef that's smashed with onions on the grill, and you can customize it with toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, jalapeños, cheese, mustard, and ketchup at no extra charge. Bacon is available for an additional charge. The restaurant itself was really clean, and I appreciated the self-serve condiment station stocked with ketchup, spicy ketchup, ranch, plenty of hot sauces, and to-go containers. The fries ended up being my favorite part of the meal. They're fresh cut and double fried, coming out piping hot with a crispy exterior and fluffy center. The portion was also super generous. They packed so many fries that they were spilling outside of the container into the bag. Paired with the ranch and spicy ketchup, they were honestly worth ordering on their own. The burger was a little more disappointing. The patty was overcooked, which made it pretty dry. You could even tell by the color that it had spent a little too much time on the grill. Since I usually keep my burgers pretty simple, there wasn't much to balance out the dryness, so I found myself dipping almost every bite into extra ketchup and ranch just to add some moisture. I can definitely see why Duke's is a neighborhood favorite, and I still like the concept behind their onion burgers. It just didn't completely satisfy the burger craving I walked in with. I'd come back for the fries without hesitation, and I'd be willing to give the burger another shot hoping I caught them on an off day.

Private parking lot, 2 gender-neutral restrooms and space available for large groups…read more We drove down to La Mesa just to check out this place and it was worth it. We ordered the 'That's My Boy' and 'Meet Meat' pizza plus their fries. Their deep dishes were light and crispy. I loved the sweet sauce, jalapeño and ricotta cheese combo on That's My Boy pizza. The Mastiff Fries had a wonderful crispy texture. They are like thinly sliced potato wedges. (Our order is without cilantro which normally comes with it) The staff was super friendly and the restaurant was clean. They did have two tv screens playing the sports channel and had a variety of draft beer options.

I had never had a smash burger before so again my expectations were a little more than the average person. They did not disappoint the flavors were so delicious. I especially enjoyed the garlic aioli more than I thought I would (it is more like a mayo for this burger). The burger came with a a handful of pickled peppers and mini pickles on side. They were good but felt a little out of place for my taste. This place is definitely more of a bar feel than I expected and smaller than I thought it would be, and the seating was tight with most all the tables being bar height. The last thing to keep in mind the parking lot is small but there is street parking, but is leads to residential area so it can be limited to. Overall the burger had good flavor and I will be back to try more on the menu. If you are looking for a beer with your burger there was a lot of choices. Also, if you are into sports, there are several televisions on with a few different events playing.

Big Dawg was more traditional. Cheese and pickles. Fantastic Burgers are smash style. SO MUCH FLAVOR! Buns and toppings were great. Legit a wonderful burger. Both of them! My buddy got the garlic parm and wouldn't stop raving. Fries were fire. Straight up. They gave me yellow peppers with both burgers and plenty of sauce with an offer for more if needed. The guys were great! Very helpful and nice and friendly and great!

Plenty of parking in the free parking lot off Paradise Valley Road. March 22nd was the day four friends found out the hype - is real. Tambayan makes you wanna slap yo lolo. Masarap! From the Güd Burger and that ube milk bun, to my personal favorite, sisig fries with calamansi aioli. Friends didn't complain about the pork belly in their sisig bowls either. When it came time for dessert, we met my second favorite mahal, ube churros with dulce de leche ube sauce. Jammed with hot halaya. So, of course we came back itching for more. Let the photographic evidence before you be proof of this customer's satisfaction. Special Kuya Dan shoutout to bro who hooked us up with the complimentary lumpia! GALING. Sisig fries remain the main character in this NPC's game. Pairs perfectly with a taste of Hawaiian Sun, Luau Punch. The fries stayed crispy until the last bite - and I nearly ate clear through to the table. The restaurant serves a handful of open tables. Dine in, or carry out. The plate is the same. Everyone's doing it. Service is simple. Order, snag a seat, and standby for sisig. If your kind of dining requires Instagram worthy ambiance, or you're worried about calories - Tambayan maybe too much for you. I dare you. Kain na! Until your pork belly meets mine once again. Thank you, Tambayan! P.S. This review was written by my hands - not Chat or AI, nor the influence of social media stardom. And I, thank you. Edit: I came back for the 5th star that kitchen is good for.

She recommended the wings which is what I typically go for whenever I'm at a sports bar but I decided to try something different and went with the Slappy Dog. I got it without any alterations and it was pretty good. My husband opted for the bacon burger and as you can tell from the picture, it was massive. He was kind enough to share and it was delicious! Burger had a little bit of a char taste which we enjoy :-) Ambiance of the place was like a typical sports bar, plenty of tv's all around so it doesn't matter where you sit, you'll have a great view. We will be back in the future and I will go ahead and try Diana's recommendation of the mango habanero wings.

Coming back last night and seeing all the changes was pretty neat! The owner, Sarah, came out to greet us and personally took care of us, which made the experience feel even more special. I ordered the single burger, and my buddy went with the sliders. Both were solid not dry at all, and you could really taste the great quality of the meat. Sarah shared with us that she and her husband source their beef directly from Monterrey, Mexico, just three hours from the Texas border (you can even fly straight there from the TJ airport!). The meat is grass-fed and hormone-free, and it definitely shows in the flavor and juiciness of the patties. My single burger was juicy and packed with flavor, and the truffle fries were amazing crispy, savory, and perfectly seasoned. I love supporting local spots like this, especially when you can feel the passion behind what they do. Thanks for the great night, Sarah and the Lopez family can't wait to come back soon

Great recommendation! Absolutely delicious!!! I felt reallly good after eating it, and I am sensitive to certain breads and cheese. Knowing me I'll probably make the 35 min drive sometime again this week. And I got a Shirley temple to go from the bar and they don't use regular grenadine, but some other delicious syrup that is so much more flavorful and not full of red dye 40. Only thing I would suggest for anyone coming is to know the sign on the building is hard to see, so you will see the Chinese restaurant sign, that is basically where you are looking to go. The sign is flat against the building and I didn't see it while driving.

The BBQ bacon burger was good, but the bacon wasn't crispy--it was very thick and more like a slice of ham. It was okay, but I would have preferred traditional crispy bacon. The Greek burger was also good, but not quite great. However, the boys' basic cheeseburgers were amazing! We would definitely come back just for a basic burger. The fries were also amazing--definitely a highlight of the meal. They have a great selection of beer and alcohol, and I tried the watermelon drink, which had a spicy kick and was absolutely delicious. Overall, a solid spot with great fries, drinks, and burgers. We'll definitely be back for those basic cheeseburgers!
