Yum! Perfect post beach day meal. After a full day of swimming, snorkeling and missing lunch, we were all starving. Double burger, onion rings and a milkshake! Not an everyday meal, but perfect when you're craving some beefy goodness. We opted for a crispy burger since we hadn't been before. We got the double OG burger and the crispy cowboy western with onion rings, pickled jalapeños and BBQ sauce. Both were really good. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, and the house sauce was super tasty. The sleeper hit was the Oreo milkshake! So good. Lots of crunchy Oreo bits. The chocolate shake tastes like good chocolate not artificial. Onion rings and fries were good too. The onion rings have lots of crispy bits and the fries are basically like McDonald's fries. You order at a kiosk and they call your name when it's ready. Bathroom is outside around the corner. Ill be back. read more

Amazing restaurant! Easily some of the best smash burgers I've had in a while. The restaurant is very clean, the food tastes fresh, and the portions and quality are definitely worth the money. The only downside was the self-service ordering machines. They seem pretty outdated and were extremely slow and glitchy. A simple order took me over 10 minutes because the computer kept having issues. I eventually switched to the tablet next to it, but unfortunately had the same problem. Hopefully they upgrade their ordering system soon because it would make the experience much smoother. Other than that small issue, everything else was great. The food definitely made up for it, and I'd absolutely come back again! read more

I was in the mood to doordash a burger meal today (no car) and noticed "Eat Crispy Burger", which I had never heard of before. I had The Melt for the first time in forever a couple weeks ago and found the patty underseasoned so I was curious about a potential new spot. I look it up on yelp and sure enough it's a legit new place, so I place an order. I decided to get a triple all american with no cheese, a small fries and a chocolate shake as a combo. The patties were bigger than the bun and so flavorful. Thicker than in and out patties. Best burger I've had in a long time. Great fries and shake as well. Wish I got large fries, they were so good, but my meal was plenty filling. This was a really remarkable burger spot meal that felt premium quality. Probably my new burger go to :) read more

No In-n-out in La Jolla, but Crispy offers a solid alternative for burger and fries. I ordered the double burger and it was incredibly filling, had a nice beefy flavor, and like that they give you the option to customize more fix-ins to your liking. They also use these soft brioche buns which are a nice touch. Fries are also pretty standard so the combo is a good move. I got this order by door dash and it was pretty quick. Would order again if I have burger cravings. read more

Juicy smashed burger with a nice crisp! Food is made to order with fresh ingredients. The first time we dined in, we met the owner who was serving guests with a huge smile and a lot of energy. He was doing it all when we came in. He took our order, made our food, and checked on us. Both of my kids got the kids' meal that came with 2 sliders, fries, a drink, and crispy candy. It's freeze-dried Skittles, which my kids are into right now. Parking: Limited Free parking. There is construction going on and most of the parking is taken in the back parking lot by the workers. **Military Discount** We have come in several times since then and have been met with the same great service by employees. Seating: Theres several booths and tables inside. There is also sitting outside. Overall we will keep coming back. Good burgers, and good service read more

Kids loved this one in Carlsbad so glad one opened up closer to us. The hamburger was juicy and big for a double. You could customize it and stuff. The sauces were a hit for my kids. The French fries at crispy level were great and I would say using avocado oil is such a rare thing these days. We ordered DoorDash and this was the second time because the first order was cancelled by our dasher. Friday night they took some time. However I would say great place and the onion rings were so good. read more

I got an original burger combo (burger, fries, large drink) for $14, and I think the value of it was pretty good. I added lettuce to mine (can also add onions and peppers for free). Burger was big for a smashburger, fries were a nice portion, got a free sauce, and they had lemonades/jamaica/horchata as other drinks along soda. Open kitchen design so I saw them cook/fry everything fresh. Burger patty was seasoned well, smashed for the crispy edge, and the center still had some meat to savor on. The brioche bun was toasted and soft, but super big and hid the patty flavor a bit. My preference are smaller buns like potato rolls because it allows the patty to shine, so it would have been nice to have that option. The grilled onions could have been cooked a lil longer for the browning and caramelization, because mine lacked a bit in flavor. Overall, chill spot if you are in the area and want a savory smashburger. Inside is super clean, and I super appreciate them for making everything fresh given I came at a random time. The two people working were so friendly and nice. Also given this place is family-owned, I appreciate that they have been able to keep the prices good while using good ingredients. They fry everything in avocado oil and that stuff is not cheap. Nothing in the burger felt "cheap" or trying to cut corners. I got good value for my purchase, and I'd probably stop by again if I was craving a burger nearby. read more

Good burger spot! Got the Mushroom double burger and fries. Food had good flavor and burger was good well, there's lots of customization available for their menu.

Pretty average, not bad in any means but nothing amazing about it. Biggest issue was the amount of sauce they covered the burger in, as they say a little dab will do ya, notice how it's not "a big ass glob will do ya". If I was in the area and really was craving beef I'd try it again but wouldn't make a special trip. read more

Really enjoyed my visit to Eat Crispy Burger! I've heard great things about their original location in Encinitas, so I was glad to see this location in UTC. I ordered the OG Crispy burger and it was delicious! The smashburger had a nice crisp around the edges and great flavor. There is a decent amount of customization you can do to the burger so you can add your own twist to it. Service was quick and attentive! Make sure to have them validate your parking as well! read more

The Eat Crispy Burger empire is growing.  I started eating at Eat Crispy Burger back in 2022 when the first location opened in Encinitas.  The delicious burgers and the warm family atmosphere was a winning combination.  I was happy to see the 4th location is within biking distance and there is bike parking in the parking lot. I ordered a double burger with bacon, lettuce, and tomato.  Beef was tender and had a nice char which accentuated the mild beef flavor.  Bacon was crispy with a smoky flavor.  Lettuce and tomato was fresh, adding some moisture to the burger.  Very good tasting burger. Onion rings had a crunchy outer layer and was full of fried onion flavor.  Fries were crispy and had a tasty fried potato flavor. I found out they make their own lemonade here.  Strawberry lemonade had a mix of sweet strawberry and sour lemon flavor.  Mango lemonade had a mix of sweet mango and sour lemon flavor.  Both were very good.  Much better than the lemonade I've tried from soda machines. 2nd visit I ordered a Monster Burger.  There are a ton of flavors from the hash brown, beef patty, sausage, ham, and eggs.  Awesome breakfast with the ham being especially tasty. Vanilla shake was handmade and full of sweet vanilla flavor.  Nice and thick the way I like it and delicious. Service was excellent and it was great seeing the owners again. read more

I have been in search of the best smash burger in San Diego and Eat Crispy Burger is among the best. I have been a regular a Regent's pizza for years and have walked past this place many times without giving the place much notice, and now I wish I had given the place more attention earlier. The checkout was easy and quick, you add your order a kiosk and then get a text a few minutes later telling you when your order will be ready for pick up. I tried the double original crispy burger. The burger is simple and well executed with grilled onions, two smash patties with melted cheese on a brioche bun. My favorite burgers are the simple ones that don't overwhelm you by combining too much on sauce with unnecessary toppings. This burger hit the mark by combing great taste with a crispy patty and minimal ingredients all for a reasonable price. I will be coming here again very soon. read more

This true mom n pop ran place tastes so freaking good...and now they have FISH TACOS!!! I had my mind set on a juicy Burger but walked into a taco situation at this location. So...out of curiosity I got my Burger but I also got 2 tacos! FIRE!!! Another one! Great job to the owners and staff for such great quality food and decent reasonable prices! Definitely saved this location for future returns! read more

Great restaurant. Hate the parking. Unfortunately it's located in the same parking lot of Regents Pizza so it gets tough with parking. When you first walk in, there is an ordering kiosk on the left. I love the kiosk option because it allows me to explore the menu without feeling panicked to order quickly. Got the impossible burger and crazy fries. For my burger, I added an egg and jalapeños. Unfortunately however, I didn't get jalapeños in it. The burger itself had good flavor. The bun to meat/filling ratio though was a little off. I felt like there was a little too much bun. The crazy fries was just okay. I think I would have liked it more if it had more cheese and less sauce. But now I know how to order it next time because the kiosk has a a lot of modification options which I love. Would definitely come back again, though I might try their other locations for better parking. read more

Was craving a straightforward smash burger and this delivered on flavor. A bit messy in the best way, it came out hot and quickly. Ask for a side of their homemade ranch with your fries. Not too many eating in, seemed most orders were takeout. Not a great parking situation - it's $1.50 per 20 min read more

10/10 experience here. I will definitely be coming back here. The food seemed to be such high quality too.

I've been wanting to try this for a while since I heard good things, I got an og burger with fries. I thought the burger was good, the fries were very good. Although it was around 20 bucks for the regular sized combo which in my opinion there are better deals for something similar or better of taste read more

I am not one normally that gravitates towards "Smash" burgers as I prefer a nice medium rare juicy burger, but I will have to say that this was pretty delicious. Went at a bit of an off time for lunch so it was not that busy. It did take a bit longer than expected for 'fast' food. For a smash style burger, it was still juicy, the patties were seasoned well, both the fries and the onion rings were both fairly good! The parking here, however, is terrible! read more

Burger was delicious, but my experience with customer service was disappointing. While speaking with an employee, I felt ignored and not fully acknowledged. Better customer attention and communication would greatly improve the experience. read more

Burger was good but certainly not crispy like a good smash burger should be. Fries were however outstanding.

Had to try the new spot in the neighborhood. This is a great spot for eat crispy burger with college students and offices. It's a good value meal to get a double smash burger, fries and a fountain drink for about $15. You can order quickly at a kiosk or at the counter. The burger was very good. The original would be complimented well by some additional toppings. The fries were salty and crispy. Will definitely be back for a cheap and quick meal. read more

I enjoyed these smash burgers! I think I just got their signature burger with grilled onions and I enjoyed it! It was nice and saucy. I liked the fries too! They give you sauce as you request it which I appreciated! The service is quick, and there's a kiosk to order as well. I am not sure if they validate parking but that would be great! Otherwise you have to pay if you're in the parking lot over 15 or 20 minutes. The inside is clean and it looks like they're working on a boba shop in the same location! read more

Heck yes, I'll Eat Crispy Burger! Wasn't even going here, but passed by, got a whiff of the burgers, saw the this playing sports, saw the casual crowd and had to try it.

Affordable. Stop in. read more

This is a new spot in UTC. Family owned, and they make great burgers. The folks in the kitchen and behind the counter are really nice, and the food was extremely well prepared.

The restaurant looks mellow. It's connected to a neighboring restaurant. As good music (Bruno Mars tonight. Service was quick. We punched in our order, paid and sat down. Before we knew it, our order was up. Now the food was excellent. Single burgers with all the toppings. We had onion rings because they were out of fries. (Angela...thanks for the fries. Better late than never. ) 10 outta 10 Oh! And I forgot to mention....they validate parking!!! read more

Tried this place with wifey on a whim (initially planned to go to Rubicon Deli next door but this caught our eye) and absolutely loved this place! Place is nice and clean, and they have kiosks for ordering or you can go up to the front and order. Wifey ordered the OG single which she loved and I got the double Cowboy Crispy Burger. Patties are nice, juicy despite the smashed texture and has the crispy edges you are looking for in a smash burger. Toppings on it were delicious. Service was great, they call out your food and the server asked me if I wanted sauces ahead of time already instead of me asking which I appreciated. Overall we highly enjoyed this place and will be coming back. Def top 5 smash burger joints in SD (in my opinion). Big plus is they also validate your parking! Can't wait to try another burger for next time! read more

We saw this spot on Convoy so we stopped by for a quick bite. The staff was so friendly and explained what they're about. It's a small space with a small parking lot, but super cute and cozy inside. The wallpaper decorated with fries - I want that in my kitchen These aren't your average smash burgers - they use all avocado oil here. We love that they even have completely gluten-free options here too! We tried: Double OG (cheese, grilled onion, Thousand Island) Bigger Better Mac (double patty, hashbrown, lettuce, onion, pickles, cheddar, Thousand Island) Sriracha Ranch Crispy Chicken Salad Half Fries/ Half Onion Rings They use 100% Angus Beef here on brioche buns and the quality really shines through. Something about that avocado oil really makes a difference, with the flavor and how we felt after devouring all this food. We loved how the patties had a nice crisp to them from how they were smashed, they live up to their name We hear they'll be opening up near us in Oceanside soon, so you know we'll be regulars! read more
