Dropped in for a quick lunch on beach day. Service was quick and kind, food was delicious, and the restaurant had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to suit anyone's fancy. Ordered the standard dirty, truffle parm fries, and a strawberry lemonade. Highly recommend all read more

Our nephew invited us to meet up for dinner at Double Standard since we were visiting down South and we were all off the next day for Labor Day. I'm always down to grub on some burgers, fries, and onion rings, so I was looking forward to breaking bread with my fam. The 80s/90s vibe was pretty radical, which was fitting within the beautiful and retro town of Coronado. I thought Double Standard's food was okay and pricey. Double Standard is located in the beautiful coastal town of Coronado, specifically on the main drag Orange Avenue. It's on the south end where the shops and restaurants begin and it's a short walk from the famous Hotel Del Coronado. It's next door to its sister restaurant Village Pizzeria, across the street from Blanco and Stake Chophouse, and just down the road from The Henry. Parking is street parking, but be prepared to drive around to find parking during the weekend. As you enter Double Standard, you'll instantly experience the 80s/90s retro ambience with posters of Farrah Fawcett and Tom Selleck plastered above their menu board. There are mounted pics of the Millenium Falcon, movie posters of The Breakfast Club and Purple Rain, and framed pics of other old school nostalgia. There are also sports teams and professional athlete images throughout, surfboards hanging from the ceiling, and televisions scattered around. Seating consists of indoor tables and chairs, shared seating with sister business Village Pizzeria, and umbrella covered outdoor seating. Received friendly customer service from the staff, but I was told they couldn't cut in half one of the burgers I ordered because it was too big to do so. If I was able to do it, then they should have honored my request. Since my Pahtner and I were visiting our family down South, we had initially planned to grab some Mediterranean food from one of our fave grocery stores Carnival, but after our nephew invited us for burgers, we decided to join him and our family to try out Double Standard for the first time. The menu is not too extensive as it consists of three specialty burgers, three chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, grilled cheese, two salads, fries, onion rings, ice cream, beers and drinks, and sauces. For our burgers, we ordered the Dirty and the Western Bacon Burger. We ordered a large order of Frings. All of their burgers come as American Wagyu double patties unless you tell them you'd like a single patty. The Dirty comes with American cheese, grilled onion, pickle, and garlic aioli on a potato bun. The Western Bacon Burger comes with pepper jack cheese, bacon, onion ring, garlic aioli, and BBQ sauce on a potato bun. Both burgers were tasty and I thought each of their components complemented their respective burger. Neither burger stood out for me compared to other burgers I've eaten around California. The potato buns were too soft and for their price, I didn't think I got value for my money. Both the missus and I really enjoyed their frings, which come with fries and onion rings. The fries and onion rings are hand-cut and fried in 100% pure beef tallow. I didn't think you got enough for the large that we ordered and the onions easily came off of their coating. I'll rarely pass on spending quality time with our family, so when our nephew invited, I was down to eat burgers with him at Double Standard. If we visit again, I'd like to try their Dump Truck Style fries, one of their chicken sandwiches, and root beer float. read more

A longtime Italian restaurant in Coronado has been replaced by a retro burger joint operated by a local hospitality group. Double Standard opened this past spring with a business name that indicated a double patty was the "standard" when ordering. There were a few tables along the sidewalk in front of the suite. The service counter was right at the entryway and adjacent to a bar area that had a countertop and tables for seating. A back room had more tables and flat screen TVs if you wanted to watch a sporting event while dining. The interior decor was designed to give a turn of the 20th century feel and old school vibe. This place became my backup dinner plan when the original eatery down the street that I wanted to try had a long waitlist. Menu boards hung behind the counter while copies of the menu sheet were also available. All-natural American wagyu beef burgers were the signature items on the menu. There were three varieties offered. The other main choices ranged from sandwiches to salads to grilled cheese to chicken tenders. For sides, french fries and onion rings were listed. Ice cream from Moo TIme Creamery (a sister business with the same ownership) could be bought for dessert. I chose the first of the three burgers which was labeled as a Classy. A single patty was dressed with American cheese, pickle, lettuce, tomato, onion, and sauce on a potato bun. The cost was $13 while a double patty added five more dollars. I also picked a small order of Frings which was a mix of french fries and onion rings. The burger was of good quality and neatly assembled before being wrapped in wax paper. The frings were a major disappointment despite the large amount in the order. Both components were lukewarm at best and not crispy so they may have been the end of their respective batches. I don't come to the crown island very often so this visit to Double Standard was unplanned. Based on the quality and cost of my food, I gave a three star rating for this fairly new burger spot. read more

I would definitely return. I ordered the Standard Classy Burger ($17) with a single patty, and they automatically gave me a $5 discount, which I appreciated. I asked to substitute the regular onions for grilled onions, but I must not have been clear because I ended up being charged an extra $3 for the grilled onions while still receiving the regular onions. It wasn't a huge deal, but it's something to be aware of when ordering. The burger itself was good, but I was underwhelmed by the potato bun. For a burger at this price point, I would have expected the bun to be toasted. Instead, it fell apart quickly, became soggy, and made the burger messy to eat. I can't imagine how it would have held up with two patties or if I had ordered it to go. We sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful day in Coronado, which made for a great dining experience. While I think it's a bit pricey if you're just ordering a burger, the menu offers plenty of other food and drink options. Overall, I would return and would be interested in trying more of the menu next time. read more

Double Standard is a burger shop next to Village Pizzeria and I was told both have a common connecting door because they share the same owners. Double Standard's claim of fame is the Wagyu beef patty burgers. The menu shows burger creations which were stacked burgers, which I like but I was more interested in tasting the Wagyu patty. So after reviewing the menu, I ordered the kids burger combo to share with my pup, who is burger aficionado lol The kids burger is plain, just beef patty between potato buns. I upgraded from just french fries to 'Frings' which are fries and onion rings in a smaller portion. The food was ready and brought to our table. I tried a couple bites of the Wagyu beef patty, which was good and my pup devoured the rest and liked it. The frings: there were two onion ring slices, cut thick, crispy and scrumptious as is no sauce needed, so good. The french fries were dry and flavorless despite it being cooked in tallow, had zero flavor alone, so these would rely on dipping sauces which I passed on. These french fries are among the worst and inedible, so glad I didn't order a full adult size. A step inside, you hear music compilation from the eighties. The posters and pics on the walls are of iconic characters from tv, movies or music...all can be nostalgic. With the exception of the server who brought out the food, the rest of the staff behind the counter weren't cordial, helpful or friendly. Since ordering was done via the tablet, the only thing the behind the counter staff did was filling drink orders, so that's inefficiency and not customer service oriented. The restaurant interior decor is dark wood throughout with pics and posters Farah Fawcett and Tom Selleck in the front entry and one surf board, I guess you have to be from the eighties to really appreciate it all lol My order wasn't a true gage of their signature double stand burgers so I need to revisit and I would do so especially during Happy Hour which is everyday starting at 3pm! read more

Quick service style restaurant. Order at the counter and they bring you the food. Gotta say the burgers were really good. Loved the onion rings, but the dump truck fries were a bit much. It was a meal on its own. Want to go back during happy hour. read more

We didn't receive a nice welcome to the place, felt that we came in to bother the staff. We received our order and expected it to be better. The food has no taste, too greasy, I won't be eating there again. It a shame to invest in a Coronado restaurant and don't have either good food or service. Total waste read more

We got two burgers the Parmesan fries in a large to share a beer and a soda which came out to $75. Seemed quite pricey for a self order burger joint... it was within walking distance from our hotel which was a nice location, we ordered burger 001 and 002 flavor was amazing in the 002 and loved that you could really taste the garlic note but the traditional 001 (lettuce, tomato, onion) was quite messy to handle. read more

I came here slightly earlier in the week, and they just opened like last week. Or maybe two weeks ago. I got a burger, onion rings, and chicken fingers. I actually thought the burger was the least impressive item out of the three. The savoriness was mid, and towards the end, I started feeling like the two patties were a tad dry. Additionally, the lettuce is of the little shredded variety that I don't like, and the bun is also a bit thinner and less dense than my preference. I got the small onion rings, but I was impressed by how large and hefty the individual rings were. The actual onion they used on the inside were very fat and wide cuts also. I did feel that some of the breading was too crunchy and substantial for onion rings for my preference. I thought the chicken strips were the best item. They looked like they'd be too dry, but they were surprisingly soft and evenly cooked despite how big they were. I mean, not like the best ever or anything, just a lot better than I expected. I also liked the bird sauce. Finally, they had some minor issues due to being newly opened. I ordered a coke, but there was some issue with the machine that caused it to not get enough of the syrup, so they noticed immediately, apologized and I got a root beer instead. While myself and other customers were in the restaurant, there was a dude with a tripod camera and lights hanging out in the corner next to me, working with someone that looked like the owner/manager, trying to take some marketing pictures of some food right on the bar. When paying, the bartender immediately closed my tab before I started eating, like I had simply ordered a beer. The receipt said "take out," and I didn't even have a chance to leave a tip using my card. I got curious enough to ask, and she explained that they're still having technical difficulties with the register. The handheld register that I would've tapped my card on couldn't be used yet because it was supposed to connect to their WiFi, which they were also having issues with. All in all, an interesting visit. read more

There are SOOOOO many great things about this place that I'd have to break it down item by item from the food all the way down to the ambiance and music they played. Here we go! First of all customer service was great! This place is fairly busy for a Tuesday at lunch time. We were greeted by a gal with the friendliest genuine smile who had great suggestions for us. And the guy that was working with her was equally as friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself was an homage to people born from the 70s to 90s. Walking in gave me St. Elmo's Fire vibes and it was decked out with 80s decor and then some. The music the played was so nostalgic it brought back so many memories from my elementary to middle school days. And hubby middle to high school vibes. Fun fact, we decided to spend our 36 years from when we first started dating at the actual area we took our first date so this place was ABSOLUTELY perfect for it! NOW let's get onto the food shall we? I want to start off with the root beer float. For years, out of all the root beer floats I've tried at a multitude of different restaurants from bougie to fast food, Chick-fil-A was always my #1. Well sorry to say Chick-fil-A, but DOUBLE STANDARD IS MY NEW #1! Mootime ice cream paired with draft root beer?! C'mon it's a no brainer as to why it's my new fave! Now the burgers. Hubs had the double dirty and damn it was delicious! I had the Leroy and it was equally as good. I just couldn't decide which one I liked better! Wagyu smash burgers at its finest. Then me and hubs shared a large order of frings. They were fried in beef tallow and it didn't have that fatty gamey aftertaste like a lot of stuff fried in beef tallow does. What I liked about it was that the fries were such that if they sat for a little while it would still be great especially paired with the truffle aioli dipping sauce. The onion rings were GINORMOUS! Hubs liked it with the honey mustard dip and I liked it with the ranch. We ended it with the chocolate cookie dough taco. Everything was great! A little pricey but well worth it. And they do offer military discount so that's a plus. Suffice it to say we will definitely add this place to our go to burger spots. Thanks again for an amazing anniversary date! read more

Great location in Coronado. Fantastic and friendly service. We came on a beautiful Sunday afternoon about 2:50 pm. We saw they have happy hour from 3-5pm. We decided to wait the 10 minutes to take advantage of the HH deals. As we waited we got ourselves a pitcher of beer and sat outside. By the time it was 3pm we ordered some of the HH specials which included a single patty burger with fries, all of the sandwiches (i.e. chicken sandwiches and grilled cheese) all for $10!! We also ordered the dump truck fries which were delicious. Dump truck fries were delicious with chopped Wagyu burger, their house sauce, I think some diced pickles or relish on top of some very crispy fries. I got the no 2 burger which was delicious. I wanted to get a more traditional burger to see how it tastes and didn't disappoint. However, I may get the no 1 next time only because I prefer raw onions over grilled. I would definitely come here again if I'm in the area and in the mood for a burger. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped in during memorial day which was very busy but we were still able to get quick service here. It is kinda pricey but for the quality of food and service its very understandable. We tried the Leroy double. The burger is packed with flavor. The bacon jam gives a nice smokey and sweet balance to the savory patties. The fries were crisp abd great portions! If you are in the area it is definitely worth a visit. read more

We loved this new spot in Coronado! It is a cute new hamburger joint right on the main street. The inside has a lot of cool decor. The fries were very good. They tasted very fresh and they were a good mix of soft and crispy on the outside. The burger had so much flavor. It was delicious. The patty tasted very fresh and it was extra juicy. Get out those napkins because you will need it. The pickles were very crispy and the jam that was on the inside of the burger tasted so good altogether. Whatever you do don't make any changes to the burger. The ranch was also really good and they gave you a good amount for the price. Overall good experience, we will be back again. read more

Our family ordered four burgers to pick up-it was really busy and I was excited to try this place since I do enjoy the other restaurants owned by Blue Bridge. However, I was so disappointed at the McDonald's size patties. If I am going to pay $18 for a cheeseburger, I expect it to be juicy. My burger was cold and the other three were warm. We thought the burgers were good but I'll stick with burger lounge when I have a craving for a burger. read more

Went here to get a hangover meal and damn these chicken filets are HUGE. I had no idea every burger was literally "double" but kinda fun if you're a big back like me.

The BEST chicken tenders I have ever had. They are ginormous and so delicious. Husband ordered a burger and loved it too. Typical Gen Z employees that are pretty awkward to talk to/order from but other than that it was a great sit down option for the area. One complaint is there's a lot of chairs & tables so when you're sitting and someone sits at a table behind you, the back of your chairs do touch. But overall food is delicious! read more

Double Standard is a such a vibe. As soon as you walk in, you're taken back to the 70s/80s. I had a chance to try both the burger, as well as the burger salad. Both will not disappoint! The burgers are so juicy, and have so much flavor. The salad was massive! It was also so delicious, they really do not skimp out on anything here. I'm not usually one to care what my fries are cooked in, but I could actually tell that these were cooked in beef tallow, they were so delicious that I didn't even need ketchup! The onion rings are huge, and sooo bomb. Everything is so very fresh, big shoutout to Oriana for being so hospitable, and a big thanks to the staff there, they were so kind and attending. read more

Our friend group was on our way to another restaurant when we noticed a new spot and decided to experience it. Restaurant was busy despite it being Sunday night. Menu is rather simple but straight to the point. Burgers: simple / a little bit more complex / risky one if you want to try something different. You do not eat beef? No problem, here are some chicken options and great variety of fries. I got "dirty" burger and it was exceptionally good considering value and price. Restaurant also has outdoor sitting and serves beers. What else do you need to be happy? Definitely content myself read more

The food is great, the service sucks! This place needs someone older than 20 years old to manage it! We live local, We came on a weekend they weren't crazy busy, sat at the bar. The server was nice and polite, at first, but once we ordered, she never once checked on us, no refills no "how's the food?" Her and a younger coworker were goofing off while people waited to order and were requesting food they'd been waiting on. This place could be great, but they need a manager. 20 year olds running this place isn't working! read more

I ordered a single Dirty burger with roasted jalapeños. The worry with jalapeños is that they'll be too spicy--they weren't, but they were appropriately soft for the burger. The textural differentiation was provided by the crunchy pickles. I also ordered three chicken tenders with bleu cheese, which was a surprisingly generous portion. The chicken tenders were quite literally juicy and presumably well-brined. Brandon and Mia were quite accommodating as well. read more

Was super excited to try this new addition to the island because of the no seed oils and fries being cooked in beef tallow. Was very disappointed. Service was terrible, was never greeted, and didn't seem like anyone in the front of the house was over 18. One girl with dark hair and glasses was just bossing this tall young gentleman around and the other two girls were just standing there not doing anything. They were all on their phones and had seen some cross contamination from them. Burgers tasted like they were frozen pattys, chicken fingers were salty, and fries/onion rings weren't impressive either. I worked in a restaurant for years and it takes a lot for me to leave a negative review. Won't be going back or recommending. read more

Double standard....more like no standards. The waitress with the tattoos was more worried about her boy troubles on her phone than making sure my milkshake actually got out before my food. Absolute joke of a staff. The tall guy was the most productive and was getting ordered around by that same chick who had no interest in working. Burgers were a 6/10. Chicken...just got to Canes/chick fil a/just make them yourself. Super salty. I was originally stoked about the massive onion rings but they were tough and more bread than actual onion. Overall this should have stayed an Italian restaurant. Not sure what was more disappointing. The staff that was sticking her gross fingers in the ice cream then serving me a shake or me essentially having to serve myself. Overall 3/10. Better off going to subway. If getting a refund is an option still, I'll take it. Being a local, I'm not one to put down our spots, but y'all need standards set. read more

Great food and service! The happy hour specials are great too! And who doesn't like a PBR tall boy??
