Captain's Log, Stardate 21483…read more This past Sunday, I charted a course to Nicky Rottens in Coronado, a delightful establishment located at the end of Orange Avenue. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by an uplifting open-air environment, truly a breath of fresh air that felt like stepping onto the observation deck of the USS Enterprise. The amazing views of the bay were nothing short of spectacular, bringing a serene beauty that rivals the finest star systems. Over the years, my wife, her girlfriend, and I have become frequent travelers to this culinary haven, beaming back for nearly 15 years--a testament to its enduring allure. The selection of IPAs and mixed drinks is impressive, catering to even the most discerning palates in the galaxy. The choices are vast enough to satisfy anyone embarking on this flavor exploration, whether you prefer a refreshing drink to toast a successful mission or something bolder, like a phaser on stun! The menu features a delightful array of options, including fresh salads, tantalizing finger foods, and, of course, their famed burgers. My wife's enthusiasm for the offerings has always been infectious, and during this visit, she and her girlfriend were on a culinary adventure of their own, indulging in the flavors that have made Nicky Rottens a local favorite. The burgers are truly out of this world--juicy, flavorful, and expertly crafted to ensure a warp-speed experience with every bite. You'll find that each dish is prepared with precision, as if overseen by a skilled chef with the abilities of a Vulcan and the passion of a true culinary Starfleet officer. In conclusion, Nicky Rottens is a prime destination for anyone seeking a vibrant atmosphere, stunning views, and a solid meal. I can confidently say that if you ever find yourself in Coronado, this establishment is a must-visit. After all, it's just one small step for man, and one giant leap into deliciousness! Live long and prosper. End log. Captain 619

Got a paloma and the flavor was more intense than I expected, but it was pretty good…read more Tater tots are nice and crispy, great texture. Aside from that, they're generic normal tasting tater tots. For the burger, I liked the bun and other ingredients, but thought the savoriness of the meat was just okay. Also, can't say I'm a huge fan of the tiny lettuce whenever I see it. Overall, this joint is not bad, but I can think of very little about it that stands out. I don't feel that it fully leans into being a sports bar or dive bar or even as a burger joint. It's just.....a bar. Apparently, it prides itself as being an original coronado spot, but I didn't get that kinda vibe here. I don't know.

My wife and I have been visiting Coronado for the last several days, and yesterday afternoon, she…read morementioned to me that we should find a place without reservations that tastes much better than fast food. We looked up how to get to Burger Lounge, added their app, and looked at the menu to figure out which burgers we were craving. We were extremely impressed with the service we received for a restaurant that wasn't a sit-down restaurant, the taste of the burgers, and the quick texts we received from the restaurant when signing up with the app. We arrived to Burger Lounge around 7:15 PM on a weekday evening. There were a number of people sitting down in the chairs just outside as there was limited seating inside. We went right inside as someone else was wrapping up their order at the counter. We then were able to place an order almost immediately. I went for The "Classic" which consists of grass-fed beef, American cheese, organic ketchup, mustard, onion, and pickles. I substituted cheddar cheese. My wife chose the Ancient Grain Burger with a quinoa/veggie patty, choice of cheddar cheese or vegan cheddar (she chose regular cheddar cheese), lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and BL 1000 (which she left off). I also ordered a Real Chocolate Milk Shake. My wife, who usually just says that a meal was "okay" was raving about how great Burger Lounge is, and I also thought the burger and shake were amazing! The cashier and server were also so helpful and answered our questions and made sure we were doing well. The place was clean, and we felt comfortable sitting there while eating. When I added the app (https://www.burgerlounge.com/promotions/download-our-app), I entered my info and birthday and received a $5 off $30+ online order code. Also, since this is my birthday month, I also received a promo code for a free shake with no purchase necessary. When I was at the register and showed them the code, they gave me the shake with an in-person order. If you go to their website (https://www.burgerlounge.com), you can see their online menu, order catering or an online order, host a fundraiser, download the app, and more. This particular location has a heated patio, serves beer and wine, offers catering, is pet friendly, and offers delivery. It is open Sunday through Thursday from 10:30 AM to 9 PM and Friday and Saturday from 10:30 AM to 10 PM. You can read more about this particular location at https://www.burgerlounge.com/locations/coronado. We do go to Coronado every now and then, so Burger Lounge is now on our "must have" list of places to visit even for a casual meal at some point during our visit.

We were seated right on time, which was a great start to the evening. The atmosphere is welcoming and lively without being too noisy, making it easy to enjoy a conversation. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the meal. This was our second visit, and once again, the food did not disappoint. We've been here for both dinner and breakfast, and both meals were delicious. The menu offers a nice variety, the quality is consistent, and the prices are fair for the experience. Parking can be a bit challenging, but we were able to find a street parking spot without too much trouble. Overall, The Henry Coronado is a wonderful place for casual dining with great food, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere. We'll definitely be back and would happily recommend it to others.

The restaurant was big, beautiful, and had a really nice atmosphere! The food was just as good as we remembered. I honestly don't remember everything we ordered, but I do remember that we enjoyed it! Our service was also great, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The only downside was parking--it was a little tough to find a spot, but I guess that's to be expected in this area. Definitely make a reservation! There was already a wait when we arrived, but thankfully we had reservations and were able to get seated without the hassle. Overall, another great experience at The Henry. Great food, beautiful restaurant, and great service. We'd definitely come back!

Food wasn't anything crazy, like the decor. Was crazy good though, if you really want to add crazy to that part of the review. The burger was cooked to perfection and full of fresh ingredients that made my tastebuds happy! The onion rings were also cooked to a nice crispy, golden brown. Don't need to order the big burger unless sharing with someone else or if you are super hungry. The small portion filled me full. Definitely recommend if in the area.!

Its San Diego time again!…read more I have been to the original Hodad's in Ocean Beach, so during a staycay in the San Diego Gaslamp, I said I gotta hit up this location on Broadway. The portions are big and the quality of the food is very good. The breading and seasoning on the chicken was tasty AF. Secondarily, the burgers are 1/4 lb and a single is plenty for a normal person. Lastly, the rings were thicc and GBD. Unfortunately, we sat in traffic for 3 hrs from OC, when it normally takes 1 1/2 hrs: We were really hungry, and Hodads met our needs. Regarding the ambiance, its a bit grunge but np for me. The name has a whole lot of nostalgia in SD. The service was friendly & warm. Our food came out quickly. The only downside was the chicken & rings needed some kinda sauce, but otherwise everything else was great. Would def return the next time I am in the area.

A good size chicken breast breaded and with a good amount of buffalo sauce. Bonehead burger - you can have it single or double. However you want it!! It's a combination of smash burger and In-N-Out with boneheads signature sauce. Definitely juicy and delicious. If you're looking for a burger to fill you up. Definitely this is the burger to get. Bonehead tots - excellent choice for shareable meal. Tots with bacon and their signature sauce hits the spot. Bonehead wings - do the wing lovers. The buffalo sauce is spicy and wings full of meat. Great for 1 person or to share. One thing that we did notice is the service. They were very attentive. Being a family owned business they know how to take care of their customers. Definitely recommend them for your next lunch meal.
