Crispy burger is so so delicious. It's a dang shame because I'm trying to diet and this place just happens to have the most perfect, juicy burgers and delicious milk shakes the staff is also so so sweet. This will always be my cheat meal, best burgers in SD. No one can change my mind. read more

Outstanding! This place is doing everything right. Serving fast. Price affordable! Food amazing. Oreo shake is too 5 shake I have ever had. OG burger is a must!

The service was great and the impossible burger with onion rings was delicious! We will definitely go back and even try the other locations read more

Eat Crispy Burger is a family owned joint right off the 5 at the Carlsbad / Encinitas border. The service is great. Smiley and genuine. The food is yum! The thin crispy burger is unique. The buns are buttery and soft. We sat outside on the patio but there was seating inside. Not a huge place. Counter service and they bring it to you. They only have burgers, no chicken. But they do have thousand island and onion rings. I also tried the ding dong shake which was yummy. They make it on the thinner side with whipped cream. They also have Ken's ranch (which was great for the crispy onion rings. Come by and give it a try! read more

That crispy burger is extremely good and unlike other burgers I've tried in its texture and bun. Big fan... even if it makes me a big fan read more

SO DELICIOUS the texture of the bun was unbelievably soft and perfectly paired the juicy meat. The onion ring's breading was crispy and flavorful, inside's warm and soft. The RANCH was to die forrr !!!!!!! two cups was perfect 10/10 meal read more

No place to sit inside, but the burgers were some of the best I've ever had. Way beyond a simple smash burger.

look no more. You've found it. Lunch or dinner! Food and service- across the board!! Ordered the cowboy, but with crispy chicken and added avocado it was bomb.com! The gentleman who helped us was so warm and kind to our huge family! We will be back! read more

Great burger and shake! For a guy that loves In and Out but doesn't eat a lot of burgers I had to try this after my kids told me about it. So good! I had the All American with the single patty and the Ding Dong shake. After consuming a ton of calories for lunch I didn't care. They were so good. Nothing fancy here and really no seating but the service was great and the food was ready very quick. Glad I don't live closer because I'd be back tomorrow! read more

A below average burger in my opinion. I was craving a great burger and I order the double American burger. It was ok but definitely did not live up to the reviews/hype read more

My husband and I are alway on a quest for good food and do not mind driving far if it's worth it ... this place was definitely worth the drive from Downtown SD. This place is in a strip mall, there is no seating so all "to-go" which is no problem if your food is this, as the young people say, fire. We had the All American Double, the triple, and the Original "OG" Crispy Triple. The Onion Rings had the perfect crisp and let's not forget the fries, they were also delicious AND both cooked in avocado oil which adds to the quality of the food. Everything tasted fresh fresh and oh boy that crisp on the burgers was extraordinary. Everything was so good we forgot to take pictures of it all. Although, pictures do not do this food justice. You have to come try this place for yourself to taste the goodness. Service was friendly, kind and patient. I changed my order around a couple times and the young man helping us still kept smiling. I asked for a single patty and he asked if I wanted a "puppy patty" which is not on the menu but he was still sweet enough to ask and make sure if it was for a doggie, which it was :) so thank you guys! We will definitely be back soon. read more

People have been telling me about this place and I finally got to try it and Damn!! It did not disappoint!! Right off the bat, whoever the chic working the front is, she has to be the nicest person on earth. She had time to come out and clean the tables, help and talk with customers. Great friendly service!! The burgers now!! So far I have tried a double OG and a triple all American burgers. Both were awesome with that thin crispy burger (just like the name!) and cheese all stacked on top of each other. Now the difference is what's on it. All American is the classic lettuce, onion and tomato with pickles, mustard and ketchup. The OG burger is plain and simple with grilled onions and a bit of thousand island on it. The OG burger is the way to go if you like a more meaty and cheesy only burger, my favorite! I'm gonna have to say Crispy Burger is my new favorite burger spot in the area. Not only a delicious burger but awesome owners and friendly service makes this place a true gem in the area. You have to check it out!! read more

Great place. Fun food. Tasty combinations. Cons: 1. No table to sit down and eat (asked and told it was a city permit) 2. Both of our burgers were over-salted (and I LOVE salt) 3. One of the burgers was too crispy, had burnt pieces toward the end which did not pair well with the overall burger Overall, I think the over-salting and burnt ends of the crispy patty were a fluke. And the tables, I mean, what can they do if it is a permit issue? We did like and enjoy the overall experience. We plan to return to try their fancy burgers and another perhaps double-addition of pastrami. Oh! My main reason for a 4/5. Their pastrami is moist and delicious (enough fat to keep it tasty but not too much to create an uncomfortable bite). Highly recommend adding pastrami to your burger or other sandwich to try. It was so darn tasty and really saved the meal for us. In short, recommend trying once. And like us, you'll most likely want to return to try other combinations and offerings. read more

This was a Delicious smash burger and fries were crispy! Would definitely reccomend and want go back

I was craving something that was similar to in n out but just as good. I came across this place and I would definitely come back!! I ordered the single OG burger add lettuce and tomato and my friend got the double OG burger. They have really great flavor and it's fresh to order. Their fries might be better than in n out's. They are crispy and well seasoned. Ramsey and Angela were so friendly and amazing. The service made the food taste even better. read more

Excellent burger and service. Would definitely eat here again!! Onion rings cooked perfect. Had the famous burger bowl, just perfect!​

This was as far as a smash burger can go. As good as a smash burger gets. I've been a customer for some time, and it began as an easy 5 stars. Perfectly smashed burgers with lacy, fatty, brown edges, salted immediately after the flip. Just the right amount of sauce. Now, their cooks are worse, their service is worse, the owner is around a whole lot less, and in my opinion, it shows. Food service is hard and I get it. I apologize to the owners for my lack of appreciation for all the hard work this place is. In this case, this place started as something special. The burgers are now consistently a bit over-sauced and under-salted, in my opinion. Thanks read more

Encinitas, please allow this place to have indoor & outdoor seating! I saw an article about this restaurant opening up a second location & wanted to give it a try after seeing that they serve smashed burgers, my favorite! Their menu is simple with beef burgers as their speciality but they also serve chicken & vegetarian sandwiches too. The Original "OG" Crispy Double Burger: A must get! You can get this as a single or triple too. The patty is cooked perfectly, juicy inside, crispy edges, super flavorful! I cannot wait to go back & I hope next time they will have seating available! read more

By far the best "fast food" burger in town. Everything is fresh and the staff is polite, warm, helpful, and fast. Local family owned by people who care and it shows! read more

I've stopped by the Starbucks next door dozens of times on my way to the San Diego Airport. Social media led me to give Eat Crispy Burger a shot. Walked in couldn't decide between a chicken sandwich option or the smash burger. Went with the Double OG Burger and I was not disappointed. I'll be honest when they handed me the burger in the togo container, I thought it was a little light. Should've picked In-n-out instead was my first impression. But after my first bite this burger was second to none. The bun was perfectly toasted. The meat, sauce and cheese consistency was excellent. I see why it's highly recommended. Won't drive out of my way but it's definitely a go to option next time I'm driving by on the 5 freeway. read more

This place was on my list to try for a long time and we finally were in the area and made a point to visit. The parking lot is kind of a mess given the line for the Starbucks drive through but turnover is high. We did not realize that there were no spot to eat on site, so we ate our food maybe 25 minutes later. The fries and onion rings were still decently crisp and very tasty. Great seasoning but also flavor to the breading on the onion rings. I got a double OG burger and it was gooey and amazing! The ratio of American cheese to meat and thousand island blended perfectly to make a moist, gooey, decadent burger that was perfect. My husband got a burger with lettuce and tomato and pastrami and single patty and said it was very good, but I imagine the texture was very very different. If you want gooey, go with the OG. So good!!! Highly recommend! Simple but perfectly executed, and pretty quick, too. read more

What is a Crispy Burger, you ask? So, did I for the longest time. I kept passing the place at strange times and, frankly, I've been so disappointed with burgers lately that I never bothered. Until now. I was stopped at the light across from it, I'd missed lunch and thought, let's go! What a great decision it was. The guy behind the counter recommended the OG or the Texan and I went with the Texan. One bite and I knew trying it was the right choice. This burger tasted fresh and had incredible flavor. A juicy burger, melted cheese, crispy onion rings, sweet BBQ sauce and just a little pop from the jalapeños. It was delicious and satisfying. I didn't order anything else at that visit, but if that one burger is any hint to the flavor and quality of the rest of the menu then my future trips there are going to be outstanding! read more

Eat Crispy Burger - Texan - Burgers Near Me - Encinitas, California

Love it soooo much id return here for the OG! The sauce and how simple a burger can be but sauce makes it 10x better! We ordered basically everything on the menu. OG is the best. Chicken is ok. All american burger was overkilled by the pickles. It was overpowering the patty itself. Wouldn't recommend that. Maybe ask for no pickles. Cowboy got bbq taste and too sweet and tangy for me. We ordered onion rings as well which didnt go well with the burger. Tasted so flour-y uncooked batter. Maybe im used to panko breaded onion rings but j had beer battered at fancy restaurants but this is something different. Was very thick batter and you could taste flour almost cake in nature of how thick the batter is. Would be coming back for OG definitely but for that alone. Enjoy! Sorry no pics we smashed everything in one go. No seats here and parking is quite small. Very tiny plaza. People are eating inside their car. read more

Eat Crispy Burger - boxes of Avocado Oil - Burgers Near Me - Encinitas, California

A family operated burger joint serves up tasty crispy burgers. Located right off the Leucadia exit on the 5 freeway in the Starbucks mall sits the Eatcrispyburger shop. With a simple menu consisting of 2 styles of burgers OG (angus beef, cheese, grilled onion, thousand island on a brioche bun) or the American classic (beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mustard on a brioche. Sides of fries, onions or frings (half fries, half rings) all the same price. On this visit I went with the OG double burger. Everything was made to order, cooked fresh both my burger and fries. Overall it was good with the outer edge of the patties providing a nice crispy ring. The flavors blended well with the melted cheese, onions and thousand island dressing. I am actually glad I went with the double as with how flat the patties are to me equates to a one regular at most places. The French fries were standard with a light coating giving it that crunch. Ketchup, thousand island and buttermilk ranch condiments were available. I took my order to go but I wish I ate it at the location only because my fries and burger bun were soggy due to the moisture from the drive home. But overall a great tasty burger. I can't wait to come back and try the American Classic as well as a milkshake. read more

The burger scene is definitely abundant with numerous delicious burger options around San Diego. With the varying styles of burgers from the classic to the belly-busting option, it's tough to really narrow down to the best. Burgers are one of my favorite food items, and Eat Crispy Burger just made it to the top tier of my list. The burgers here are smashburgers so there's that (as in its name) crispy outer edge that provides additional texture to an already amazing bite. I chose the Double OG Burger which contains thousand island sauce, cheese, grilled onions and two smashburger patties between an airy and buttered brioche bun. The medley of flavors sparks nostalgia of just pure burger bliss. The onion rings were also delicious. They are battered perfectly and complemented the meal nicely. The Crazy Fries are reminiscent of Animal Style Fries from In N Out and this version isn't as savory but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Who doesnt enjoy cheesy bites of fries with grilled onions and thousand island sauce? Overall, the meal and experience was superb. Friendly staff and delicious food...I can't wait to come back again :) read more

I'm always on the lookout for a great burger. Signs have been on the building for months. I've been waiting with great anticipation for waaaaaayyyyyy toooo looonnnngggg. My wait is finally over. Eat Crispy Burger meet Leucadia. Leucadia, meet Eat Crispy Burger! It's a family owned and operated spot right off the 5 freeway and Leucadia Blvd., right next to Starbucks. Now when I say "family operated", I seriously mean "FAMILY OPERATED"! Walked in and was greeted by daughter Ava manning the register. I saw son Sammy hustling behind the counter while Natalia and Stella were also making magic on the prep line. And finally, dad Ramzy was overseeing the orchestrated chaos while cleaning off food trays. After looking over the menu, I decided on an All American Double. Two beef patties, two slices of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, with ketchup and mustard served on a soft brioche bun. Also got an order of half n half fries and onion rings. Just had to try them both but knew I couldn't finish individual orders of each. The "Crispy" in the name Eat Crispy Burger comes from the fact that the burgers are smashed fried on the flat top until the edges and "crispy". Then flipped to keep them moist, according to Ramzy. Yes indeed they were. Edges crispy.... CHECK! Moist, juicy burger.... CHECK! The fries were just as solid. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Loved each and every bite of the meal. Kudos to the dude actually flipping burgers today. Sorry I didn't catch your name, but glad you're part of the family/ team! If you're up to it, try the shakes too. Was offered a sneak peek at a potentially new menu item. Still working on the name, but it came out as the "Crazy Ding Dong Shake". Imagine a vanilla shake blended with a Ding Dong and Ding Dong crumbled on top with half a Ding Dong on the edge of the cup! So glad they finally opened and are literally right down the street. Keep on Yelp'n! read more

While roaming Encinitas, I wanted to look for a quick bite. Thanks to Yelp, I was able to locate a new burger spot that a lot of people here have been recommending, so I made my way. I noticed that the spot was located next to a very busy Starbucks in a tight area, so keep in mind that you may have some difficulty parking and leaving since the parking is in direct line with the Starbucks drive-thru. When I arrived here, I noticed how busy a lot of the workers were preparing and cooking. You could definitely tell that this place gets a lot of orders. There also wasn't any indoor seating when I visited so keep in mind that you order and go. The menu made it very easy to order. They had many different types of burgers, but I chose to pick an all American because I love lettuce, tomato and cheese. The burgers are also the crispy smash type which I really enjoy. Once I placed my order, it didn't take too long to receive it. The workers are very friendly and asked if I wanted extra sauce as well, which I really appreciated. Upon opening my order, I saw that everything was neatly packed and smelled so good. The fries and onion rings were extra crispy and stayed that way for several minutes. The burger was also very delicious and better than a lot of the burgers I've had here in San Diego. I would definitely recommend you visit. read more

Watched the "Eat Crispy Burger" sign for months while they were getting it renovated for grand opening, drove by many times wondering when it will finally open. Today was the day for us to stopped by for a quick bite before heading to the beach, and have to say it was worth the wait. We ordered all American double burger and half/half fries and onion rings. Patties on the burger were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Liked how crispy the fries and onion rings were even after it sat for awhile. Overall food was good but what I liked the most was the customer service. Owner Ramzy and his crew were amazing! It's a family owned business, and great to see his children working beside him. The bonus was he treated us to his new creation of Ding Dong milk shake, it's not on the menu but it should be. . Iwas sooooo good! Yelp ya later! read more

They a simple menu--which is a good thing--and you're here for the smash-style burgers. The options are similar to In-N-Out but better, in my opinion. Then again, I think In-N-Out is totally overrated. The double OG was very nicely seasoned and had a ton of flavor. The fries and onion rings were fine. It seems to be a family-run business which is terrific. The counter folks could not have been friendlier. Definitely worth a try. They deserve to do well. read more

Eat Crispy Burger - Burgers Near Me - Encinitas, California

So I happen to stumble on this place because I was looking for a burger spot in north SD. Omg thank God for Yelp for helping me find such a gem. It's located next to a Starbucks and is literally ran by the nicest people. The food was so inexpensive I couldn't believe it. They use angus beef and had a way of cooking it that made it so juicy and flavorful. The fries were crispy and hot, and the onion rings were Panko breaded so it was extra crunchy. I ended up getting the OG which I highly recommend because of the grilled onions and thousand island. They were very cool about adding lettuce and pickles in it for me too. My son got just a plain cheese burger which he gobbled up and said it was the best burger he has ever had! I really hope they open one location closer to downtown so it's closer to my area. You can't beat the taste, quality, and definitely the price of this bomb burger spot. read more

Ok, so, it was ok, maybe 3.75. Let me preface this with we picked up and brought it home. I had it American style. It was definitely smashed. It was not a light fluffy bun. More like a grilled cheese. The toppings were lacking and mushed into a very thin patty. So the outside bites were better than the center. The fries and onion rings were very good and so was the strawberry shake! read more

Best burger ever!! I wouldn't change a thing. Great taste good ingredients. Love the Cali burger and onion rings. Service is always perfect!

Free drink if you write a review on Yelp or Google. Came here because I'm a sucker for smashburgers. Eat Crispy Burger is basically if In-N-Out did smashburgers. Burger was a 10/10. 2 smashed patties, grilled onions, thousand island dressing, lightly buttered toasted bun. Classic. The fries and onion rings were okay. Only thing I wish was they fried the fries just a little bit longer. They were pretty soft and bland. It would be cool if they had an option for fried well done to make it more crispy. I would still come back. Finally, a solid smashburger spot in North County! read more

I know it's sacrilege for a Californian to say, but it was like a better In N Out. Like In N Out 2.0. Burger was juicier, fresher (if that's possible), had more on it (at least the All American did), made fresh to order. Fries tasted beer-battered and were greasier in a good way. They had a side order option for 1/2 fries & 1/2 onion rings, which I love because I never want a full order of either. Got ranch, thousand island and ketchup for my dipping sauces. A trifecta. It was awesome. Looked like a family operation, mother, father and son. Working their buttons off all the way to close. Prices were reasonable. Double smash burger with cheese and the works for $8.95, 1/2 & 1/2 fries and onion rings for another $3.95. I will definitely be stopping by here again for that smash burger fix in the future. read more

Would go again / Price - Below average / Service - Above average / Management - Above average / Cleanliness - Above average As I am not a local to San Diego metro, I cannot speak to whether the location is a popular area. However, Crispy Burger is one of those gem finds. As I was traveling to San Diego, I saw a Starbucks and stopped by for coffee. this seems to be common based on some reviews. Then, I saw this interesting place called Crispy Burger next door and decided to try it out. I ordered the original burger and crispy's crazy fries both of which have a Philly cheesesteak like cheez whiz melted of goodness. I am biased for cheese so be prepared for loads of melted cheese on both the burger and fries. If not a cheese lover, you may want to ask for less as it is a lot. There are typically two types of delicious bugers, a clean side and hearty side. This one was definitely hearty which is no problem at all. What I would have liked on the burger is some toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and pickled onions or something alike which would complement the burger tremendously based on being so hearty. Regardless, for this type of burger, well played. As another comment mentioned, the burger and fries at Crispy Burger almost tastes like a slightly higher quality In N Out but with more cheez whiz! Do not kill the messenger Californians. If this is your style of burgers, definitely check them out. They are also a newer establishment so Yelpers go! I also had an opportunity to try their strawberry milkshake which is very creamy and loads of strawberriness. Definitely recommend as well. Ample parking with a shared parking lot in a plaza. The interior is clean as they are a new restaurant. read more

Super tasty smashburgers, about as good as they get! I got the single original with just the patty, cheese, onions, and a thousand island type of sauce. Excellent service too: since it was my first visit I didn't know that the onions were cooked, finely chopped and mixed in with the sauce making them hard to see. When I examined it in my car (there's no place to sit inside), I didn't see the onions and brought it back. They didn't correct me, but quickly made another one and let me keep the first. I later discovered that the onions were in fact on the first one too. read more
