Spicy Jam
Gabe F.

2nd time having cosmos counting this evening. A little behind on food reviews but here goes cosmos. This evening was pretty packed with about 20 patrons. We ordered a spicy jam burger,better mac and some truffle fries. Everything came out in a decent time even with many other orders before ours. The better mac named after the (Big Mac) was just that. Similar to the Big Mac just way better. King Mac.The star of the show this evening was the spicy jam burger. Soon as you take a bite you get a sweet and savory taste then 15 seconds later or so the spice comes kicking in and kicking in pretty hard. It's a tasty and interesting burger as I have had nothing like it. Wouldn't recommend if your spice level isn't decently high. The truffle fries are also top notch but eat them quick as they seem to cool rapidly. Our previous visit we had the blue cheese burger. Again another exceptional and tasty burger. We talked with the manager and he was explaining how the recipes are all made from scratch while using the highest quality of ingredients. Great Quality burgers. Definitely give them a try.

Food was okay 3/5 nothing exciting here prices a bit on the higher side for the quality it didn't justify it

Blue Cheese and Spicy Jam

This is honestly probably our favorite burger spot in downtown Oceanside due to the food itself. The burgers are always SO GOOD! Staff is always very friendly & helpful. The inside of the place is nice and clean, however the outside can be hit or miss. It's located on a busy street which can sometimes be flooded with people. Parking is pretty bad, truly depends what day/time you come but be prepared to walk.

Cosmo Burger. What can I say? Unexpectedly, one of the top 5 burgers in my life. After I finished I had to ask for the manager and compliment the quality of my burger. Atmosphere: 4 Stars. Kind of a trendy vibe. Service: 5 Stars for friendliness. Value: 5 Stars. More expensive than the rest but it was my day off and I wanted to treat myself to something that might be worth it. Quality: 5 Star. It feels expensive and rare but I felt like I got a burger that was worth the money I paid for it.

Monkey Fries

My first time eating here an it was delicious. Possibly have a heart attack from the grease and cheese but definitely worth it. Came by in the afternoon and it wasn't busy. Bonus: got a window seat and people watched while eating. I ordered two Better Mac burgers, Monkey fries and two daft beers Me and a friend were having lunch Not a bad price for all of it. Burger was juicy and flavorful The fries crispy and good with bacon and cheese. Definitely nothing was disappointing If I'm in O'side again I'll be hitting this place up

Probably one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I have had at a restaurant and this is not in comparison to like Chick-fil-A or a fast food chicken sandwich, but we're talking about a storefront that really prides itself in burgers. They are actually making an amazing crunchy perfectly sauced with pickles type of chicken sandwich that you can eat and enjoy your meal. The sauces you have a variety from their house sauce to a mustard sauce that's very specific to each of the burgers and sandwiches. I would have to just rave about the unique brioche bun that they use then the sauce that they include inside, which is a mayo type of mix with the pickles and then you have the actual dipping sauce that I don't know how I can describe so overall great place to have lunch and I would say they have a variety of sides like tater tots and french fries and onion rings my friend and I opted for the onion rings and I'm really glad I did because they were very crunchy not overcooked and it was probably not the healthiest meal, but it tasted delicious.

Cosmos Burger is a restaurant located in the downtown Oceanside area. There's street parking nearby. It is walkable to the beach and pier. The burgers and fries were pretty good- it's not the cheapest, but still affordable for the portion size and quality. I tried the Cosmos Burger for $13 and the Chicks fries for $12. The burger felt like a standard cheese burger, but the chicks fried is the true stand out for me - the flavors of all components married each other well, and the fries were cooked to perfection. The surrounding areas walking to the restaurant can feel sketchy. Walk with a friend, not alone. There were suspicions characters lurking around the block that called others unkind names. Overall, I recommend coming here for a quick bite when visiting Oceanside.

Cosmos Burger ($13) - This is my new favorite North County burger spot. The Cosmos Burger is as close to a perfect burger as it gets. The two patties were perfectly grilled and so tender, flavorful, and juicy. They nailed the caramelized onions and blew me away with their Cosmos sauce, which was like an elevated In-n-Out spread with hints of garlic. Highly, highly recommend!

Cosmos Fries
Autumn R.

Had a delicious burger and a side of loaded fries. Nothing wild, just really flavorful grub that is reliable in Oside. The staff member was very laid back and friendly when I asked for suggestions, so I took her word and it did not disappoint! I went in on a weekday for lunch, so it wasn't busy. I dig the burger decor too (Kenan and Kel shout out). Look forward to recommending this spot to locals looking for a good burger in north county.

Smash burger was delicious and good flavor and size. So many good choices and hard to choose. I tried their tots and they were the best I've had! service was great and friendly. it's right on the main street and has an open air dining area plus bar. This may become my new favorite smash burger place!!

Bbq burger and Monkey fries.
Mikey S.

I had the BBQ burger. It had 2 onion rings, house made bbq sauce, bacon, and cheddar, on a brioche bun. It was absolutely delicious. All the components were perfect and the burger patties were very flavorful and juicy. The monkey fries were tasty as well, with bacon, house sauce, green onion and served with spiced sour cream. Fast service with takeout. Parking is a bit tricky, it's right on a main drag, but I would circle the block a few times, no problem, because the food was kick ass.

Lemonade hibiscus
Shonci H.

We ate at Cosmo's Burger as a family. We ordered the Basic Burger, Truffle Burger, Bleu Cheese Burger, and the truffle fries. The service was great! And everything was delicious! Our daughter got the hibiscus lemonade, which she loved. The restaurant was right off the road and walking distance from all of DT Oceanside. Inside was super cute as well!

Truffle Honey Tenders
Roger P.

We've heard multiple reports that Cosmos has the best burger in San Diego and had to check it out for ourselves. There are two locations but we wanted to visit the Oceanside location since I was wary of the quality of the Carlsbad food court location. We arrived late in the afternoon on a Saturday and managed to snag street parking right in front of the restaurant. They don't have a dedicated lot so you might have to circle around the block during peak hours. The restaurant itself is kind of small with a handful of tables and counter seats. I like that the windows all have high-top tables and you could people watch while eating. We ordered a lot for two people to try as much as we could. The food came out really fast but I wonder if that's the norm or if it was just because we were the only customers. Everything is brought out to your table and on pretty aesthetic-looking plates so the vibes felt a little classier than a fast food restaurant. Tater Tots and Truffle Fries: Both come with a decent amount and are great shareable sides. These came out crispy and the truffle smelled so good. On the menu, they only advertise truffle for the fries but I saw another group get truffle tots and I would've ordered that if I had known. Truffle Honey Chicken Tenders: Comes with 3 pieces and wow! These were some of the crispiest tenders I've had, even though they were covered in the sticky, honey sauce. And even though it was white meat, there was not a single tender that was dry. Highly recommend! Cosmos Burger: Toasted buns, double smashed patties with crispy edges...everything you'd expect from a high-quality smashburger. I thought their cosmos sauce was a little salty and it kind of made a mess but overall, it was a good burger. Although not my favorite smashburger in SD, it's definitely in my top 3. It's also nice that they offer more than just burgers for people craving anything else.

This place... phenomenal. Honestly the smash burgers are insanely good. We love coming here for…read moresome big juicy burgers. Their sauce is really good to dip your fries or add to your burger. They even have puppy patties for your pups. This place can definitely get packed, specially on the weekends, but it is worth the wait!

Tanner's Prime Burgers: Worth the Line, But Check Your Bag…read more Let's start with the important part: the food is very good. Tanner's knows what it's doing on the grill. The rest of the night needed a little more attention. The burgers. These are proper smash burgers. The patties are pressed thin and seared hard, with dark, lacy, crispy edges that crunch before they melt into beefy, juicy goodness. They come on glossy, golden toasted buns with crisp shredded lettuce, and each one has a pepperoncini pinned on top like a small trophy. The star of our spread came open-faced and fully dressed: cheese melted into every crevice, orange sauce dripping over the edges, plus tomato, lettuce, and caramelized bits of beef that make you lean over the box so you don't wear it home. The fries. Cooked in beef tallow, and you can taste it. They're golden, crisp outside, fluffy inside, and have a rich, savory flavor that vegetable oil just can't match. My one piece of advice for Tanner's: don't change a thing. The hot dog. I went with the hot dog, and it was very good. It had a nice snap, was full of flavor, and came wrapped in foil like a gift I was happy to open. The not-so-prime part. We went on a Sunday night and tried to order online, but online ordering is turned off on weekends because it's "too hard to manage." So we stood in line, ordered in person, and waited. Fine, I was willing to put in the time for good burgers. Everything came packed neatly in branded boxes across two bags. We assumed the restaurant would double-check the order before handing it over, so we didn't check it ourselves. When we got home, the cheese fries were missing. We lived too far away to go back that night, and the regular fries were great, but a missing cheese fry still hurts. The redemption arc. I went back the next morning and talked with Daniel, the manager. He was sincerely apologetic and very helpful. He refunded the cheese fries and also refunded our tip, which he didn't need to do. That was a generous gesture, and it went a long way. Daniel, you're the MVP of this review. The bottom line. Prices are a bit high, and every sauce costs extra, so watch the extras if you're watching your budget. For this quality, I'm not complaining. My only real frustrations are having to order in person on weekends and an order that left the counter incomplete. Fix those two things and this is an easy five stars. Pro tips: Check your bag before you leave. Go on a weekday if you want to order online. Get the tallow fries no matter what.

We were greeted and seated quickly, came on a Sunday around 8:30 pm…read more Our waiter was very knowledgeable with the menu, gave us suggestions that at first we thought were just him kinda talking the dishes up, but dang whoever is cooking in the kitchen knows what's up! lol They knew how to sear a steak better than most! and made some amazingly moist/juicy perfectly fried chicken! I promise you it's really that good, please try both. Our cocktails were PERFECTLY made. The staff was on it, I mean you can tell they work as a team. Different ppl checking on us (but not in an overbearing way) clearing plates, making sure the food was to our satisfaction. Always filling waters. Very friendly. I haven't had this good of a restaurant experience in years. Idk if we just got lucky or this is how it always is here since today was our first visit, but we will definitely be back and hopefully capture this magic again lol Ambiance was ok, the other patrons were a little loud but I expect that on a Sunday late at night. Decor was interesting and place has a cool lounge area. Big bar! :) Highly recommend this place! :)

We came here Labor Day weekend to celebrate my brother's birthday…read more My dad had called ahead to reserve a table since it was 6 adults and 2 toddlers. We were seated right away. We started with some appetizers - my favorite was the crispy brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Everything was perfectly roasted and there was a great kick with the habanero jam feta. The fly basket was pretty good, but keep in mind that the portion size is small - 3 of each of the hush puppies, fried shrimp, and fried green tomatoes. My husband ordered one of the specials which was a short rib pot pie - one of our favorite dishes of the night. The short rib was so tender and the dish was rich but in the perfect way. I ordered the tri tip sando. It was loaded up with meat and grilled peppers and onions. I upgraded my fries to truffle fries and those were really flavorful! My mom ordered the cioppino. She was a little disappointed by how many mussels there were in the dish - she had been hoping for more fish and shrimp. She said the flavor was good though. For dessert, we did opt to try the beignets. Honestly I could have done without them. They weren't as light and fluffy as they could've been. Overall, it was a good experience with great accommodations for our toddlers and great service.
