    Double Cheeseburger & Jimi Fries
    Siria F.

    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

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Cheeseburger
    Maria H.

    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.

    I usually enjoy coming here from time to time because prices are high and they can be inconsistent like today. This review is for my experience today. I call to place my pickup order, no answer. I call a couple minutes after, no one answers, I get it, it gets busy, I'll order when I get there. When I show up there is no one and I wait at the counter for a couple minutes. I briefly see a glimpse of someone standing in the kitchen. I try to make myself known. Girly pop comes out, no a smile, which whatever. But when I order (a cheeseburger and jimi fries) to-go, she scoffs at me when I tip her $2. Like alright, you clearly don't want to work here. When check my order, the fries are so soggy they seem like microwaved fries but whatever maybe jimi fries are soggy. And the burger doesn't have the pickles and chopped chile I payed for. I go back inside to ask for pickles and chile and she said that they are there, just at the bottom. I say they are not, I literally had to DISASSEMBLE my burger to show her in order to get my pickles.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Ended up trying this place out as it's located next to one of my favorite taco shops. It's a small shop with a simple menu but the food is packed with flavor! Their burgers and fries were cooked to perfection, not too greasy and seasoned really well with fresh ingredients. Very tasty food. The service was great. It's a very chill little spot with your San Diego vibes with a band decor around the restaurant, and enough seating inside and outside just for a few people. But the food here is definitely fresh, tasty, and worth checking out if you want to try something outside of all the typical franchise spots. Highly recommend

    I feel like with innout around, i wouldn't come back here. It's good, but it's a lot more expensive.

    Can you buy gift certificates?

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

    Are there plans to make this restaurant 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.

    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.

    Hello, Is there parking?

    There is street parking, and Chicano Park parking is there as well.

There had to be at least 15 pickles on this bad boy. YUM! Onion rings were crispy and delicious. M. loved his burger and as usual, his only complaint was that he wished it was bigger. Haha. We enjoyed our food and the fun, kitschy Hodad's dining area. I feel like every time I come here, I spot something on the walls, or dangling from somewhere, that I haven't seen before. It's always a good time at Hodad's and it is certainly worth a visit if you haven't been here before. Keep in mind they do have a limited menu (burgers, chicken burgers, veggie burgers, fries, rings, shakes & some beverages and beers.) However, the table next to us ordered shakes and they looked hella good. Next time for us, for sure!! Mahalo!

It's always popping up as one of the best burgers in San Diego. The vibe in the place was cool. Bustling and music blasting. I look around for the menu. Not easy to find. I guess it's one of those "if you know you know" but then I saw a small chalkboard that listed the burger and a tiny printout pizza menu way in the back. I order a burger and coke. So pumped to try it. I ask for no onions and the guy at the register immediately cops a huge attitude like I ruined his day. He points at the chalkboard and says "no substitutions". I reply "no biggie! I can scrape em off or something" dude looks pissed and says "they're hard to scrape off" I know reading this I may sound unreasonable. Maybe dude was having a bad day. But the way he was looking and speaking to me made me want to walk away from the counter not bother ordering. If you are great at burgers but not customer service maybe stay off the register and stick to the grill. My friend with me goes "not very friendly for a place called the friendly" so it wasn't just me. The burger comes out. Honestly I'd bet on a good day it's great. But today it wasn't. Overly greasy. Ironically all of the onions slid right off so I'm not sure why he feels it would be too difficult for me to remove myself. The burger could barely stay in the bun it was so greasy. The aioli spread was all on one side of the burger and it was a mess. I'm not sure if maybe this place used to be great and since has declined, or if the staff was just having such an off day that it reflected in the effort of the food. Or if the guy just had some issue and felt like taking it out on us today. But needless to say. There's plenty of amazing smash burger places in San Diego. Excited to try somewhere else.
