I was in the mood for a good burger- so I checked with Yelp first. This place had so many rave reviews, I had to try it... I should have taken a picture- but was too hungry and anxious to see if the hype was real- it did not disappoint! First, I have to mention that the service was really great- super friendly and accommodating! (Sunday 5:30 pm 2/1). We ordered the OG and the Cali burger combos with fries & rings. All cooked in healthy avocado oil- fresh ingredients and lots of crunch! The brioche buns are my favorite- not bulky bread. Great selection of drinks and we topped off our meal with 2 ice cream sundaes To Go! Our server suggested some Oreos on top- good idea! I can't wait to tell my friends about it- definitely give this a try! read more

My roommate and I happened to find this place on Convoy. We thought we would give it a try. I had their most popular signature burger and it was tasty. A bit salty of my taste but that may just be me. If I had it again I'd ask if they could add a tomato and lettuce. My roommate liked his burger and said he would be back. Some of the parking spots looked like you need to pay to park but the one we took in front didn't have a sign so we figured we were fine. Not sure if they validate. We didn't ask as we found the spot mentioned. They have a very affordable double burger special I may try next time too. read more

Pricing is as expected. Its not a bad price for the food. I bought a hashbrown burger and a mushroom burger(Sorry, IDK what either were called). Ate half of each to give a review. The hashbrown burger I got with no raw onions. The hashbrown was a nice touch to the burger but it definitely didn't have enough sauce or it needed more. Its a very dry burger. The mushroom burger I was excited about, but it didn't live up to what I was hoping for. Burger was also dry and missing flavor. Both burgers needed to be seasoned. IDK if they do that on purpose. But, I personally needed more. Might give it another try eventually, too many good reviews to not. Maybe it was just an off day. I will say the music and vibe of the place is great. Solid music and everyone was extremely nice. read more

The best burgers in San Diego. I am a smashburger expert and I have tried a lot of burgers in a lot of places and I was amazed with crispy burger. They nailed it with the smashed meat, toppings and buns. Everything worked well with the food. The service was ok. I made the order myself on the screen and they dropped the food off so not much service going on. The place is small and seems clean. As long as they keep maokg good burgers, I can eat on the sidewalk and be ok. read more

Finally tried this spot and I thought it was actually like an Asian burger spot lmao. I had a double cheeseburger and added jalapeños. The burger was delicious. Also had an order of regular fries which were crispy. They were delicious but towards the end you could taste the salt as in it was salty (but they were delicious). I did have a food coma after an hour and fell asleep lmao. I would say the prices are outrageous considering it's only a burger spot. I wouldn't necessarily come here for a burger but I had been wanting to try it. read more

A fast food delight that comes with avocado oil that you can feel somewhat happy about eating fried food, but I will say their burgers are delicious and my daughter says it's 10 out of five stars. Not too crowded on the weekend and when I ordered this on DoorDash, it was pretty good, but I will say the thing that gives it extra star is that they offer sauces at no cost: thousand island, Ranch, and barbecue. Everything truly is crispy like the fries and the burger and the onion rings so overall they stay true to their name. The price is not too bad comparable to many burger places right now, but you still have competition with In-N-Out and probably those who want a thicker patty. Overall eat crispy burger does his job and my kids love it so I'll probably be back. read more

Another great lunch at this unpretentious spot! This time I got the krazy fries and they were delicious! One of the workers even remembered us from last time. He had some bacon for Cako which is why she gets excited when she knows we're going here. Check them out when you get a chance! read more

This place is good. From the food, to the staff, to the vibe, it's creates a relaxed eatery. If we are craving a chicken sandwich on Convoy, then we'd go back. Pros: * Good food; recommend the chicken sandwich and onion rings * Clean restaurant * Friendly staff Cons: * Smash Burgers were on the Saltier side. * The Pepsi Zero was out and there was no sign. They were nice about it, but please put up a sign Extra: * Small parking lot * The kiosk has additional menu items not listed on the T.V. menu read more

It's really good!! The burgers are made to order. I had the Bigger Better Mack burger and yes it was better! I would suggest ordering a double patty since they do cook their burgers smash burger style to get tray crisp. I ordered with a side of half onion rings and half fries which I appreciated that I could do because I wanted to try both. Onion rings were crispy and your typical style onion ring. The fries were shoe string style and perfect fried. There are quite a few variations of burgers to order, but the staff was very patient & friendly as we stared at the menu for a bit. There are spots to eat. It's pretty casual and clean. I'd definitely come back and try the other burgers they offer. read more

I love burgers and when new burger places of the "best burger place" lists come out I want to try them. My husband decided he wanted to get this for his birthday. We ordered online and he went to pick up. By the time he got home the food was only mildly warm. The burger is a smash style burger (thin and flat). To be honest the flavor of the burger was so hard to taste because the bun is so thick. I modified my burger from having: melted white american cheese, grilled onions, crispy sauce (thousand island dressing). I don't get what California's obsession is with thousand island dressing on burgers but I digress. I left the cheese and onions on my burger and pickles (taking off crispy sauce) and added mustard. The pickles were flavorless and did not add anything to the burger. I had fries and they were very crispy on the outside but were still a bit too mushy on the inside for my personal preference. I got the single burger, fries and a drink for $12.98 which I felt was a reasonable price considering meals at McDonald's cost more than that. Overall a mid experience. I don't forsee myself coming back since there are better burger options out there. read more

Yet another 5 star experience at Eat Crispy. I had the OG double, Bigger Better Mack double, large fries, large onion rings. I'm never gonna turn down a burger with a super crispy hash brown inside, but I'll probably save a few bucks (contribute it toward the milkshake I'm dying to try) and just get the OG double next time instead of the Mack. The OG double is delicious, and you should not skip the fries or onion rings. I requested to substitute the raw onions with grilled onions, and MOST APPRECIATED the cashier said she would check to see if that required an extra charge (it didn't). I dislike it so much when restaurants offer you something without letting you know it costs anything & you end up with a stealth charge on your bill (e.g. Smoking Goat with their offer of bread, Abby's BBQ with their offer of ranch sauce on the side). They have a tray with buffalo, BBQ, ranch, and thousand island sauce for FREE. Plus ketchup packets. Their food doesn't need extra sauce (my husband generally doesn't use any, but I personally love drenching everything in sauce so the free sauce tray is very much appreciated). We arrived just before 11AM on a weekend, and there was zero wait. Near the end of the meal closer to noon, several large parties had arrived so it got a bit crowded. Small free parking lot with plenty of spaces when I came. There is a single occupancy restroom that was clean (automatic flush and automatic sink which I like). The hand washing station outside didn't have any soap, but usually I love the hand washing station because my hands and face are always drenched in sauces from my meal. read more

I was expecting more based on some raving reviews on this place... It kind of hurts to give it this low of a rating but the patty itself is the most bland and flavorless I've had. It's got a really soft brioche bun which was a delight to bite into...however the flavor was just nonexistent. For how much they charge, I fear you'd get a much better bang for your buck at The Friendly or Shake Shack Crazy fries had diced onion and thousand island sauce, cannot go wrong but fries themselves were so stiff and worst consistency sadly. Tasted and felt as if they were frozen still but felt warm to the touch? Service is direct and they keep this establishment clean! Beware of limited parking in the plaza, there is street parking available nearby read more

My friend and I decided to have lunch at Eat Crispy Burger. The was intriguing to me. As we entered, we were quickly greeted by a young lady. The menu was a large one on the wall. We both decided to try the Original "OG" crispy burger. ( The double version ). The burger was tasty! The burger patty itself is very thin so ordering a double is like one burger to me. Between the soft bun, grilled chopped onions, and the thousand island sauce, it quickly became soggy and a hot mess quickly!! I didn't notice anything "crispy" about my burger, though. It was also on the salty side for me. I believe it would be easier to eat it with a fork and knife. Don't get me wrong, it was a very good burger! Overall, a nice burger place!! It's clean and modern. The trash area was well maintained. Parking is a shared parking lot so it can be tricky. They have extra condiments for your burger or fries. The onion rings looked tasty!! The employees were nice!! Oh! I saw that they used avocado oil! BONUS!!! read more

Since high school, I can only recall eating a hamburger once. Today was July 4th and I found myself with an ultra rare burger craving so decided to indulge in delivery. Crispy Burger was open and in my delivery zone, so decided to give it a try. Since I like thin, lean steak I figured that I might enjoy a smash burger. When ordering, I appreciated all the customization options, and added free grilled onions, mustard, ketchup and pickle. Also subbed American cheese with Swiss for $0.75 more. The price for this single burger was reasonable, and the flavor exceeded my expectations. Cooked exactly like I requested with not too much meat to bun ratio. The fries and onion rings were both crispy and not overseasoned. I hear they fry in avocado oil and are a local chain, two pluses for me. Will be back whenever my next burger craving strikes, especially since it looks like they have some yummy milkshakes that I need to try. read more

We stopped in around 7 on Saturday night with only one, maybe two tables with people at it. The staff was extremely friendly and answered any questions we had about the menu. We had one kid's sliders with fries, two all American burgers with fries, and the California burger with half fries, half onion rings. The food was out pretty quickly and was very good. The price was a little high (but most everything is these days). We'd come back if in the area in the future. read more

When we first walked in, the worker was sitting at a booth eating, she said we are taking orders through the kiosk right now. Not a problem, we didn't mind ordering that way. Pretty easy. The guy who made our burgers served us. Friendly and helpful, letting us know there was ranch and ketchup at the counter. What we ordered - Plain Crispy with onion rings - I liked it. Not greasy which I liked about this smash burger. Onion rings were good. - Cowboy Crispy with fried - bf loved this burger. He ordered it without jalapeños. I thought the fries tasted a little weird and bf said it was probably the oil that was used. Overall this place was good. We would come back. read more

I had been wanting to try this relatively new location of Crispy Burger for quite some time. I love a good smash burger and the Crispy Burger in Carlsbad has been a staple in my smash burger rotation. I got the original "OG" crispy burger double style ($9.99) with French fries ($2.99). This came with American Cheese, grilled onions, thousand island dressing and a brioche bun. My meal was ready quickly much to my delight. The burger patties were crisp on the edges, juicy in the middle, and packed with flavor. Self serve sauces were a must with the fries. I liked the chipotle ranch the most. We sat in one of the booths which was quite clean except for some grease on the ground which is to be expected at a burger joint. Workers were friendly and efficient and helped us get boxes and bags to bring our leftovers home. Parking was very crowded up front but thankfully there were a few spots on the side available. read more

Came here at the suggestion of a friend. Burgers in the middle the best Asian restaurant of San Diego?!?!?‽ Menu was relatively simple, Burgers. Ordered the OG burger w pastrami. Egg was also an option! Kids ordered the grilled cheese. Kids meals came w/ fries and a drink! Burgers were delicious. Smashed burgers w a nice crispy edge. Didn't realize you had to explicitly add lettuce; tomatoes; and pickles. Thankfully I was able to add them. Onion rings were perfectly fried and super crispy. Fries had some coating in them. Extra flavor and crunch. 10/10. Overall the restaurant is greats. Would actually consider this place over local favorites. read more

Finally dropped in to decide on my own if the hype was legit. A few bites in I determined it was valid. I enjoyed the Cali Burger with half fries and onion rings. Definitely worth the visit and walking out from my car. Note they don't have a drive thru. Service was fast from Jonathan. He's super friendly and hard working. The place was clean and bright. I'd definitely return when I'm the area. read more

Food here is pretty pretty good. I can't say it comes within range of Swagyu but it is a nice combination of maybe 90% shake shack and 10% jack in the box. Jack in the box is never a bad thing imo. They are accessible, digestiable, well sized and juicy burgeys. The "animal style" fries here are so dang good. Look at that presentation! So much sauce, well mixed with cheese and onions. The fries themselves are a touch bland. They could lose 25% of their girth and be 100% better. Burgers here are decent. They patty has like no flavor or seasoning but that maillard reaction is insane. CWISPY. The burger incredients are top notch, as if they were picked up from the farmer's market. The pickles, the avacado, those lesser prominant items shined. read more

Yo, Let me start by saying the Carl's Jr. Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger (DWBC) has been the gold standard for me when it comes to an onion ring/bbq sauce/bacon burger situation. Tonight, the tides shifted. My DWBC North Star is slowly fading and a new contender may be stealing the shine. This double cowboy burger was everything - crispy bacon, crunchy onion rings, Maillard on 100. And then the jalapeños to cut a bit of the richness. This thing was thoughtfully built. Adding this to the repeatable meal list - I'll be back read more

Came here for the first time today after work , placed an order at 8:33pm and picked up the order about 8.47pm, they close at 9. First off the burger was really good, I ordered a side of crazy fries and they were stale and the ver cooked which I kind of expected because I ordered 30 min before they close. Quite disappointed about that. Also no napkins included but overall I would try again but probably won't get the crazy fries. read more

Great burgers, friendly staff. also have a rewards program. Service was quick, it does get busy during lunch hours.

First time visit and very impressed. Service is beyond friendly and helpful, clean inside and out, located in a small parking lot next to Starbucks off Convoy. Food was delivered, hot, fresh and quick, husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Fries were bomb, burgers were juicy and flavorful, they had plenty of seating indoors and also a kiosk up front for convenient ordering. Highly recommend to all! read more

This was a huge miss for me, I fear :/ I was not expecting to be so let down after reading review after glowing review. Everything was fine--service, ambiance, parking--except the food. On paper, the Cali burger I got (it had bacon and avocado in it) is my ideal burger. I guess I've learned that I am more of a burger purist through this experience? None of these flavors and textures that typically work well were meshing well tonight for some reason. The burger was a bit too saucy and overloaded with stuff to the point where it immediately got soggy and hard to eat. The worst part is that you could not taste any of the beef's flavor; even In n Out's slim patty has it beat in that department. I was also unimpressed by the "brioche" bun, which is typically more pillowy and eggy in flavor. This just seemed like your average potato bun. Also...where is the CRISPY? Is it supposed to be the bun? The meat? I have no answer. Wait, this is the worst part. I have never met a fry I didn't like. But here? It was the first time I had chosen not to clear my plate of fries. The fries reminded me of something you'd get via a cafe that is supplied by Sysco. They were bland, stiff, and very underseasoned. The onion rings were also not much better--I would say they were on par with the panko-coated ones you can get at Jack in the Box. Sorry, but with The Friendly so close, I will not be returning. This meal was so mediocre it pissed me off. read more

Really good burger spot. 100% angus beef on a soft, lightly toasted brioche bun. The burger patty was flavorful, juicy, and had crispy edges. The bun complimented the burger and seemed lightly buttered adding flavor to every bite. The fries were crispy and lightly salted. Everything was made to order, fresh, and tasted good. Worth trying! Parking in this area was hard to find at lunch time. Some street parking available but only a few spots up front in the shopping center. Service was fast and friendly.

However a week ago I stopped there at 730pm craving an crispy burger and walked in and they were mopping the floor and told me they were already closed and I know they close at 830.

Second time eating here after looking for something different in the area. Burger was really good. Crispy, smashed to smitherines (good thing!), the bun is soft and the dressing and chopped/grilled onions knock it out of the park! Onion rings are good, but nothing to write home about; I would suspect they are the same frozen variety you'd get at many places around town. Really the only thing that brings it down a notch for me is the loud music. The music is fine and there may be a reason it's so loud but it's been that way both times I visited. When you eat in it's hard to have a conversation without raising your voice. Other than that it's great food and great service! I'll be back! read more

The Convoy District is the third and newest location of the Eat Crispy Burger franchise. I think the corner suite used to be an optometrist practice before it was converted to this local burger joint. The parking out front was limited, but there were more spaces behind the building. Smashburgers were definitely the featured products, however breakfast sandwiches and hot dogs were also offered. The latter wasn't available during my visit because the owner said they were still sorting out the logistics of where to source the franks. Using one of the two self-serve kiosks to the left of the service counter, I ordered a Pastrami, Egg & Cheese Sandwich and an Original "OG" Crispy Burger. The breakfast sandwiches can be purchased all day. The version I chose contained pastrami, two eggs, and melted American cheese on a buttered, toasted brioche bun. It was the better of the two products I bought because of the eggs which added a gooey component. The single 100% angus beef patty was dressed with American cheese, grilled onion, and thousand island dressing on a brioche bun. The whole burger looked smashed as it was flat. Most of the menu prices were reasonable except that a Chicago Dog and Chili Cheese Dog were each one dollar more expensive than the single patty Crispy Burgers. The inside of the suite could seat about two dozen customers and was well-kept. My overall experience at Eat Crispy Burger was quite positive so I gave a four star rating. read more

Look at this! Day 2 of me posting a review consecutively, lol. Now.. Onwards to the food....! We've tried the Encinitas location (once) sometime last year and was quite impressed. Little did we know, one was about to open up on our stomping grounds (Convoy). It's clear the restaurant just opened. In fact, the worker we spoke with mentioned it had just been a few weeks since its opening! It's bright and clean inside, with massive and comfy seating booths. They also have a self-serve kiosks you can order through. One of the main inconveniences I see for this location is parking. To be specific.... there are currently: a Japanese dessert place next door, a Japanese restaurant (ramen/yakitori spot), a Starbucks, and, of course, this place (side note: I've been to all these restaurants and they're all solid!). Plus, it looks like there's housing units being built right next to this complex where Dixieland used to be (RIP). Get the picture?! Looking beyond yet another complex with not enough parking spots... The food itself is delicious, but it doesn't come without flaws. We both got the OG Crispy Burger. In the Encinitas location, however, we had The Plain Crispy Burger. Interestingly, I prefer the latter. I found the thousand island sauce in the OG somewhat... clashing with the savory-ness of the burger. I do think Crispy burger is a lot like The Friendly (which is a HIGH compliment). For sides, we ordered Crispy Crazy Fries and small (onion) rings. The Crispy Crazy Fries is tasty but I wouldn't be ordering it anytime soon. Although, I suspect it is the perfect munchy meal. It's massive and perfect to share. The onion rings fell a bit short. We found the batter just slightly too thick/too much "bite." If you prefer that, then this is for you! The staff were efficient and amicable. Easy 5/5. I do think we would come back here again soon. Their hotdogs and shakes have peaked my interest and I'm hoping they'll deliver. They also have a "burger bowl," which could be perfect for those that may be cutting calories or doing keto. Hurry and come check out Eat Crispy Burger before they become too popular!!!

I I had a pretty good breakfast sandwich from this Eat Crispy Burger. I picked the bacon and eggs with American cheese for $7.99, and I added a hash brown for $2.99 and tomatoes and onions for free. There's actually quite a bit of items you can add to your breakfast sandwiches: some for free and some for a fee. The breakfast sandwich came with a couple of fried eggs over medium and hidden underneath, which were several slices of thin cut bacon. I liked the addition of the crispy hash brown for added texture and flavor. The onions were of the chopped variety and were crunchy, and the tomato slices were fresh. It was a very good size and tasty breakfast sandwich. I was quite full afterward. The white American cheese came well melted and the bun toasted and warm. They don't offer coffee because of Starbucks being in the same strip mall. The service was very good. The ladies and gents at the counter had a good sense of humor. Even Ramzy, one of the owners, was there setting up a new printer and talking to the employees. Good breakfast. read more
