    The owner responded about the accessibility and made excuses about the building being old, but that's not a reason to not prioritize access to patrons. No employee should have to be flagged, that's not accessibility. That is making disabled people jumped through extra hoops to achieve the same things as those who are able bodied. The Roman Colosseum, a 2,000 year old building, was made accessible. A small ramp can absolutely be built if accessibility is at all a priority to Hayes Burger, which clearly according to the owner's response, it isn't. For this reason, I took away a star.

    I only came here for the Taste of Barrio Logan event but the staff were friendly and efficient, the vibe was cool, and the burger was great. I don't even usually like burgers but this one was definitely an exception.

    Woot!

    I've always passed by this spot during the Future is Color events. It's always been an intriguing spot to try, here was my experience... FINALLY! AMBIANCE: Parking: Chicano park is a popping place but you can find some parking as long there's no major events happening - mainly street parking and some metered parking. Seating: Inside and some outside seating. Good for individual or parallels. There's enough seating for about 15 people total. Vibes: Welcome to Barrio Logan! It's a lovely place where you can learn about Chican@ culture. There are a lot of local gems from restaurants, books, to clothing shops. The spot itself is pretty neat. I dig the rock music and the local art and impressions left in this spot from the art to all the stickers that people left. No frills but a a great place to chill FOOD/DRINKS: Cheeseburger (Recommended) A classic perfectly done. The patty was both juicy and smashed well. A good slice of melted cheese, fresh lettuce and tomato, grilled onions, and that signature 1000 Island-style sauce that ties everything together. The flavor's balanced -- salty, tangy, and satisfying in every bite. Fries - Spicy Jimi style (Recommend) The fries were solid - crispy and fulfilling. The jimi is like "In-N-Out's Animal style - grilled onions, cheese, and sauce . CUSTOMER SERVICE: Alex was at the reg. He was a cool dude - helpful and professional. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Good prices, good food, and a pleasant experience. Hayes Burger proves that simple can still be spectacular. It's all about quality ingredients, good execution, and that neighborhood feel. Whether you're a local or just cruising through, this is one of San Diego's pleasant gems worth giving a try. TIPS: * OG location! * HIMYM Burger video worthy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPCSOojy93o

    Double Cheeseburger & Jimi Fries

    Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for a quick bite. It has a very similar vibe to In N Out, the small menu, the burgers and definitely the Jimi Fries. It wasn't too busy and we found a table outside for two. The cashier was friendly and took our order quickly. We only ordered one meal to share and waited about 15 minutes for it to be served. The burger was good and fries were yummy. Everything is sold separately not sure if $15 for just a burger is worth it for me but I would order the $6 Jimi fries again

    Let us see...

    AWARENESS: On a mission to find the best burgers in the San Diego area, Hayes Burger always comes up as the best within the Yelp app search. NARRATIVE: Located in the Barrio Logan area of San Diego, Hayes Burger is easily recognized by its colorful storefront appearance. Parking in the area, especially on the weekend can be a challenge so, have time and plan ahead. Once on scene, you'll notice the spot itself is small, only having a few indoor and outdoor spots to eat. Again, plan ahead. You can always do as we did. Place your order to go then, head for the Coronado Bridge and find a spot at the marina to dine. The menu at Hayes is also very basic. Burger or a burger with cheese and of course you can add your favorite condoments. I went with the double cheese burger with mustard, mayo and onions and a side of fries. Their burgers are good size but, a very basic smash burger. If your looking for that thick beefy burger, Hayes won't do. SCENE: Hayes Burger is located in the Barrio Logan area of San Diego, on Logan Avenue, directly under the Coronado Bridge and one block from Chicano Park. RECOMMENDATION(S): Hayes Burger is good, but IMO, not great but, I now can say I've tried it.

    I'm definitely coming back to Hayes burger! Super delicious burgers and fries. I heard abou this burger joint from a friend so I decieded to take a trick to Barrio Logan and give it a try! I really appreciated the decor/art found inside and outside of the establishment. I ordered their double cheese burger with Spicy Jimi fries. The service was great. The burger was delicious! Brioche bun with some well done smashed patties, no ketchup was needed to enchance the burgers experience. Their fries were cooked to perfection, soft on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside, seasoned to perfection. It is a bit pricey but the experience is worth it , but hey lets supports someone's dream! Chicano park is located across the street and if you go during the weekeng you might be able to see some cool lowriders, see you later Hayes Burger!

    Good burger joint in Barrio Logan. Their menu is very simple with several burger sizes, grilled cheese and fries. Easy to locate near the 5 south entrance and plenty of street parking. All the food we ordered was cooked to order, so everything took a bit, but it was so worth it. We ordered the single cheeseburger that was smashed to perfection. The crust on the meat was good and burgers were juicy and not dry. The patties are kinda thin, so depending on how hungry you are, might need to do the double meat. Burgers come with onions, tomatoes and lettuce. We also ordered a large order of fries. The fries were fresh and perfectly golden, the seasoning in them is bomb. The vibe is very chill and the staff is nice and welcoming. We'll definitely be back to try some of their other items.

    Double Cheeseburger
    Jose F.

    Heard this was the best burger in town so I had to try it. Honestly I wouldn't put it at number 1 but it was actually pretty good. The fact that it's a 5min drive from me? I'd definitely get it again. The fries were delicious as well. I would like to eat this burger again when I didn't lag to pick it up and take it home. Instead, would want to try it in person when it's fresh and conduct a better review for it.

    Delicious burger joint in Barrio Logan! The restaurant is small with few seating inside & a couple of tables outside. Friendly service, simple menu of burgers & fries, good food! Cheeseburger: Tender, juicy, flavorful patty! My only mistake was just getting a single!

    Virginia D.

    Food was amazing we got the double cheeseburger and spicy jimi fries they were so yummy add their spicy ketchup so good

    OG Hayes Burger
    Mister A.

    Great way to start my Saturday! Stopped by the OG location and found parking in the front. Enjoyed an amazing double cheeseburger and delicious fries. Double cheeseburger was freshly made, piping hot, well seasoned, and I thoroughly enjoyed each bite. Fries were hot, nicely seasoned, and so delicious with the spicy ketchup. Alex provided exceptional customer service. Such a nice guy, greeted us, and brought out our food. I recommend the outdoor seating and enjoying the beautiful sunny weather and local area. Thanks for a great experience, Alex! If you want a delicious cheeseburger and fries, I highly recommend Hayes and bonus points for the Barrio Logan location.

    The craft soda line that's amazing
    Sam T.

    Great burger place. Was on one of the YouTubers reviews for best burgers in San Diego. Simple menu but really good tasting burgers. You can sit outside or there is one small table inside. Staff is friendly and helpful. They carry a great line of craft sodas made here in San Diego.

    Michelle N.

    After hearing about Hayes Burger from multiple sources and seeing it on social media, it was on my list of places to try out for a while. Finally got a chance to try it with some friends! - PARKING - Street parking only it seems like, but plenty of spaces up and down the street! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - The business itself is not very large, with only one table for 4 inside and some bar seating against the wall. There are a few seats outside, but not too many. Seems like most people take their food to-go. - FOOD - Hamburger: I usually order hamburgers so decided to go with the plain order for our first try. I definitely think it could've used more sauce, as I found myself wanting to dip the burger in their Spicy Ketchup (which was honestly the star of the show here). Decent flavor, but also found myself feeling peckish after. French Fries: Really tasty fresh cut fries. I love it when fries have the potato skin on them because you know they're fresher. Again, loved the Spicy Ketchup with these. - OVERALL - Personally it's not a top burger spot for me, but I can see why it's a neighborhood gem and beloved spot.

    Ask the Community - Hayes Burger

    Do you have gluten-free buns?

    No gluten-free bun, sorry. We can do any burger protein style, wrapped in lettuce instead of the bun - just ask at the counter.

    Can you buy gift certificates?

    Yes. Gift cards are at hayesburger.com/gift-cards, or you can pick one up at the counter at either shop. They work at both.

    Will they do the burgers protein style or wrapped in lettuce?

    Yes. We'll do any burger protein style, wrapped in lettuce instead of the bun. Just ask at the counter.

    Are there plans to make this restaurant wheelchair accessible?

    There are steps up to the door on Logan Ave, so the entrance is not step-free. The patio out front is street level. The Adams Ave shop in Normal Heights is wheelchair accessible.

    What size are the single burgers? They appear to be 1/2 pound?

    No, they aren't that big. id say 1/4 pound or less.

    Are they open?

    Yes, open. Tuesday to Friday 10 to 8, Saturday and Sunday 11 to 8, closed Monday.

    Hayes burger it's close notice in the door says close December?

    They posted on IG that they are closed the month of December (I'm still sad about this). They should be back at it come January so it can be a new year of eating all the burgers.

    When will Hayes burger reopen they have been closed for the last few weeks for repairs ( sign out front)?

    That was a few years back. We're open now - Tuesday to Friday 10 to 8, Saturday and Sunday 11 to 8, closed Monday.

Pros: I got the half-pound burger with fries and it was really good overall. The burger was super juicy, well-cooked, and had that classic hearty, satisfying taste you want from a solid burger spot. The portion size was generous, especially with the half-pound patty, and the fries were a great side to round out the meal. The location in Pacific Beach is also a big plus. It's in a great area with lots going on, so it's easy to grab food and walk around afterward or make it part of a beach day. The overall vibe of the spot feels casual and fitting for PB--nothing overly fancy, just good comfort food done right. Cons: Since it's in a busy beach area, parking and crowds can be a bit of a challenge depending on the time you go. It's more of a casual grab-and-go or quick dine-in spot, so don't expect a sit-down restaurant experience with a lot of space or quiet seating. During peak beach hours, it can also get pretty busy. Verdict: Overall, Rocky's Burgers is a great spot in Pacific Beach if you're craving a juicy, satisfying burger in a fun beachside area. The half-pound burger and fries hit the spot, and it's a solid choice for a casual meal before or after hanging out in PB.

I guess that's on me though to order cheddar cheese, I should've clarified what kind of cheese it would've been. Service was slow, only one person working the front helping people order, cleaning tables, grabbing condiments and bringing food to the tables. They definitely needed another person there to help out. I watched my burger sit under heat lamps for at least 5+ minutes.

Every time I've…read moredriven by, there's always a steady stream of people coming in and out, so I figured it was finally time to see what the hype was about. They also rotate fun milkshake specials, and when I visited they had an Apple Pie Milkshake that sounded really good. I just wasn't in the mood for something sweet that day. I kept it simple and ordered the Single Onion Burger ($13.95) with mayo, ketchup, and lettuce, plus an order of the Original Fries ($5.75). The onion burger is made with fresh ground beef that's smashed with onions on the grill, and you can customize it with toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, jalapeños, cheese, mustard, and ketchup at no extra charge. Bacon is available for an additional charge. The restaurant itself was really clean, and I appreciated the self-serve condiment station stocked with ketchup, spicy ketchup, ranch, plenty of hot sauces, and to-go containers. The fries ended up being my favorite part of the meal. They're fresh cut and double fried, coming out piping hot with a crispy exterior and fluffy center. The portion was also super generous. They packed so many fries that they were spilling outside of the container into the bag. Paired with the ranch and spicy ketchup, they were honestly worth ordering on their own. The burger was a little more disappointing. The patty was overcooked, which made it pretty dry. You could even tell by the color that it had spent a little too much time on the grill. Since I usually keep my burgers pretty simple, there wasn't much to balance out the dryness, so I found myself dipping almost every bite into extra ketchup and ranch just to add some moisture. I can definitely see why Duke's is a neighborhood favorite, and I still like the concept behind their onion burgers. It just didn't completely satisfy the burger craving I walked in with. I'd come back for the fries without hesitation, and I'd be willing to give the burger another shot hoping I caught them on an off day.
