My first couple of visits to Mooyah Burgers have been pretty consistent. Service is good with the owner always cheerfully greeting us at the door and the store is pretty clean. The first time I tried the bacon cheeseburger and potato chips and for dine-in and it was cooked pretty well. On the second visit we had some take out and I ordered the Western burger with BBQ sauce and grilled onions. That has been the best one so far. There's plenty of healthy options as well if you prefer that route and their shakes are also look pretty good. This is definitely a spot we'll come back to when in the area. They read more

MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes - Hot Dogs Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Lately at the office we have been on a burger kick trying all the popular burgers joints in the Carlsbad/Oceanside area. Recommended by a coworker I recently had the pleasure of visiting MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes. With so many options I always love to go the traditional route on any first time visit to get a sense of the meat quality, toppings and bun taste. Their signature burger is the MDC which consists of a Double Certified Angus Beef, American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, MOOYAH Sauce on a Signature Potato Bun. This burger was perfect, two good sized beef patties cooked to perfection, melted cheese and just enough sauce to not overtake all the goodness. The bun really stood out as MOOYAH uses a potato bun and it was really fresh and buttery. I think the bun is a difference maker in terms standing out from other burgers I have had in the past. With a combo you get a generous portion of fries which were decent as well as a refillable soda cup. This combo meal got me stuffed and the value was spot on. Definitely put MOOYAH on your hamburger destination list as you will not be disappointed with its vast menu of burger options. Fun fact about Mooyah is that they started in Texas and this Carlsbad location is the first in California as part of the westward expansion. read more

Mooyah popped up on my Yelp feed - and the location seemed quite familiar, but had never seen the place. So when my wife and I were in the general area, I popped in the address into the GPS, and away we went. Straight to a strip mall I pass through once a week. This place is tucked inside, near the CVS - easy to miss (obviously)!! We went inside and ordered - FRIENDLY crew! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries to share - my wife ordered a basic cheeseburger. We were given a pager (the kind with lights to alert you to pick up), and we sat down. VERY cool little touch - the tables have Qi charging stations behind them. When the pager went off, I picked up our burgers - DAMN they looked great! The fries to share? Umm.....for about four people - seriously huge pile! And tasty! But the burger - this was absolutely a great burger - cooked to perfection, and just quality all the way through. We'll be back - a GREAT burger joint!! read more

Another stop in, a different item ordered, and it was good! Tried the Mushroom burger with Swiss with fries, ranch on the side. Mooyah fries are some of my favorite, they are perfectly saltier and have a crisp to them. Also ordered a MDC and that was flavorful. The establishment was very clean and not super busy when we visited before the dinner rush. Phone charger stations along the wall are convenient for customers. Service was good and the two employees working were on top of it. Will stop by again when in the area and craving a burger. read more

I don't understand how these guys can't just make the MDC Burger but without cheese. The cashier had to switch to the "Build a Burger" option and build it by individual ingredients. So it was a double meat burger with lettuce and tomato and instead of Mooyah sauce, which she told me what it actually was, I got mustard instead. And sweet potato fries and a peanut butter shake. I will say that the potato bun crumbles very easily because it is so soft. But the burger is well cooked and tasty, if a bit plain. I think I should've ordered a regular soda because it was kind of difficult to drink the shake, even if that was also very tasty. And finally, it's kind of expensive at $23 for those three items. read more

Great local spot to get some freshly made burgers. Been back a few times and I think I've found my favorite combo: turkey iceburger with sweet potato fries and lemonade. The regular burgers are good too, though I still don't like their bun, hence the sub for iceberg lettuce. Service is always friendly. Good amount of seating with wireless chargers available. read more

1rst time here at Mooyah Burgers. Busy spot. The burgers had a nice soft brioche bun & a medium sized well seasoned burger. You can make your own burgers. I am not a sauce gal so I passed on the Mooyah sauce. Had a mint chip shake which was thick & tasty but an abundance of chips made it hard to sip! The manager was very friendly & touched base with all the tables. Order & pay at the counter. Ample parking. Tucked next to CVS in a strip mall on Camino Real close to the Carlsbad mall. read more

My first experience here was terrible, bad communication, burnt fries and our burgers were not even warm, just room temperature. We placed an online order since we were close by at a nearby coffee shop, we went over to pick up our order. We stood by the pick up counter and were ignored. No greeting or we will be with you shortly, nothing. They weren't even busy. We waited for 10 minutes and asked an employee walking by about our order. It was just sitting on the counter getting cold. We ordered the patty melt burger, hot bacon jam burger, the family sized fries and a couple of shakes. The burgers weren't even hot, the fries were most burnt ends and tasted like they were cooked in super old fry oil. Absolutely awful. Someone reached out to us to share our thoughts and we told them what happened. They sent us gift cards to give them another try, we did and but it became such a hassle to even use them. The staff was unaware they offered gift cards, they didn't want to honor the gift cards, and then decided to only give us a partial discount. We were told we had $40 to spend and were only able to use part of it. There was so much confusion and miscommunication just to give them another chance, it was not worth it. The food isn't great, the shakes were okay, but stay away from their fries. read more

I ordered the paleo burger and my partner ordered the the double diablo and it's delish! The service was so nice! We saw the owner being so attentive to all the customers and visiting every table. He really went out of his way to make everyone feel special. Fun decor, very clean, fun 60s and 70s music. Really high recommended! read more

I had just finished seeing a movie at the nearby mall, and prior to that, a hike at Hosp Grove, so I was starving! MOOYAH to the rescue! The burger was ample (if a bit greasy), tasty sweet potato fries, and I got a free cookie, which was delicious! The staff was excellent and very kind to the folks who came in after I was seated at one of the spotless tables. It felt like community. This place is a keeper, and next time I'm getting a shake! read more

First time here. Easy to read the menu. Just enough choices. Fries are amazing, burger is good too just don't wait too long to eat it. The bread gets soggy and everything slips off. Very tasty though. They will eventually need a bigger place. Nice job guys read more

Adult and child finished their burgers with no complaints and would be willing to come back. Ranch sauce was free. Mooyah sauce is similar to ranch mixed with ketchup. Parking was plentiful and easy to find. Seating might be a little tricky as there seems to be a steady stream of customers dining in. Not a fan of cold buns, not sure if can ask them to heat it up on the grill. French fries were unseasoned and unevenly fried - some were crispy and some were mushy. Kids still enjoyed them. read more

I love me some in-n-out, but if you're looking for a switch up, look no further than MOOYAH. My go-to order is just the cheeseburger which uses a soft potato bun, a beefy patty and topped with delicious MOOYAH sauce and classic veggies. They also offer a number of different burger options to your liking. I also think it's nice that they offer either fries or chips as the side in case you're craving one or the other. I tried their Mooshake which was just okay, not as thick as I thought. The chocolate chips in the mint chip shake are also too large to go through the straw, so you need a spoon to eat this. There's a decent amount of seating inside and outside and the staff are all incredibly welcoming and friendly! I'd definitely recommend MOOYAH for their solid burgers and fries! read more

My 7 year old and I were in the area and ready for dinner. I had to talk him out of going g to McD's - which we were both so glad we did! We found Mooyah on Google and it did not disappoint. The burgers were so fresh and filling. I like mine with pickles and appreciate they were thicker cut, not flimsy slices. The fries, oh the fries...I'd come back for those alone. They look fresh cut, with the skins on, very similar to Five Guys who I think has the best fries out there. The best way to have them prepared for sure! My son's milkshake was full of Oreo pieces too big to suck through a straw. He got a kick out of that. Ambiance was clean and pleasant. I liked how they had phone chargers behind the booth seating, although I didn't need one. I also love how all of the plates and cups were compostable! Way to go!! Our server (the manager/owner?) was super nice and kept checking in. Overall review from my fairly picky 7 year old? "I'm speechless!", with a satisfied sigh. Will be back! read more

I really wanted to like this place. Both times we got two doubles with fries and the shakes. Chocolate and Oreo then another time chocolate and Reese's. The shakes were the only good thing. Burgers were soggy, falling apart and room temperature at best and fries were cold, flavorless oily and rubber like. If I come back it would be for the shakes only read more

My brother wanted a burger for his birthday so we thought we would try Mooya after reading their rave reviews. I have to say I was very disappointed in their burgers. They were rather small and stingy on the condiments. I will say that we ordered the family fries and they were really good. We will not be going back though as we have certainly tasted better burgers. read more

Ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Kind of average taste. Bread is a little too soft so it got a little soggy. Fries are tasty but with they were more crispy. Service was fine, the owner asked how it was and I said, "good" with a thumbs ups. Seating inside and a few tables outside. Pretty quiet. The Mango Lemonade was tasty and refreshing not too sweet. read more

We were visiting the Flower Fields and were craving a good, juicy burger. We had seen Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes on social media and decided to stop by and give it a try--and we're really glad we did. Let's just say this was one of the best burgers I've ever had. My pregnant wife absolutely loved it and even joked that the baby was happy too. We ordered the MDC Burger and the Mushroom Swiss Burger, and both were incredible. The burgers were juicy, delicious, and packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. The fries were amazing--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, exactly how fries should be. I also had an Oreo shake, and it was thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious. On top of the great food, the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even better. If you're near the Flower Fields and craving a great burger, Mooyah is definitely worth the stop. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Today was our third time visiting Mooyah burgers. We went there once when it first opened & it was okay, (think they were still working out the kinks). The second time was a few months ago and today was due to the request of our uber picky son who asked to come here for lunch. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a seat. In a few minutes our buzzer was going off and the husband went up to the counter and grabbed our food. Everything was good. Fries were hot and crispy and looked like they came from actual real potatoes(not pushed out through a machine), husbands burger with potato chips was really good and my chicken tender sandwich was delicious too. The last two times I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and I really liked that as well. The kid gobbled down his food and the majority of my fries too, so I'm guessing that he liked his food a lot. We also got him a cookies and cream shake, which he loved. The hubby said it was very thick and it didn't look like they skimped on the Oreos at all. This place is always busy, but they seem to be actively cleaning off the tables and people are going in and out quickly, so seating has never been an issue. There's also extra seating outdoors, if you're so inclined. A gentleman, (not sure if it was the owner or manager), but he came out from the kitchen and checked to see if everything was alright. We nodded and grinned with our mouths full. Everything was on point today! We shall be back Mooyah. My old man said that he's ordering the patty melt next time. It did look pretty yummy on that poster! I'll try to remember to take pics before we devour our grub next time, but no promises! read more

Small shop, great burgers, great shakes. The burgers are very good here. The patties themselves aren't enormous but they are very well seasoned and delicious. The buns are also very nice and soft. You can order one of their creations (we tried the Cheddar Bacon BBQ) or build your own. For the Build Your Own, I added pepper jack cheese, mushrooms, jalapeños, bacon, and spicy sauce. It turned out to be a huge burger and it was outstanding. The Cheddar Bacon BBQ was also good. The fries are clearly housemade, which I appreciated, but were not very crispy or well-seasoned. They reminded me of In-N-Out fries, which are not good, to say the least. Maybe it's just a personal preference but I prefer crispy fries. The shake we tried (peanut butter cup) was also freshly-made and was terrific. It was as thick as concrete and I don't care if you need a spoon to eat it. It's wonderful. I almost forgot: they also have a (not so) secret menu that is available at the front counter or online. These offerings are far more daring, like a hot dog on your burger, and honestly, they sounded really good. Just add me to the list of all the many other 5 star reviews. I was absolutely impressed. These are great burgers. read more

One of the best burgers I've had in North County, hands down. Everything tastes fresh, juicy and very well seasoned...you can just tell they're not cutting corners. The owner is super nice and personable too, which always makes a place feel more special. Also, the sweet potato fries are some of the best I've had - crispy, well seasoned, not soggy at all. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and craving a good burger. read more

Counter ordering only. No "service" - go get your food when your buzzer goes off. Had the queso burger and it was tasty but very sloppy! Wife had the cheeseburger which was good. Sweet potato fries were soggy and not very appealing. They're frozen unlike the other fries and house made chips. Told the counter girl who offered another order but we declined. The interior is ok and it looks like they try to keep it clean but under the napkin holder on our table was a sticky goo - pretty nasty. read more

I was recommend to come here because I was craving fries. Their shakes are also one of their things that they are known for. I bought a coffee flavored shake because at 7pm they ran out of chocolate, huh? I ordered the double of fries well done because I was bringing some home for the wife also. They were hot when I got them but well done was not achieved. They are fine with their seasoning on them but not something I'm going to think about when I'm in the area. Shake was good and thick, because it wasn't chocolate the best I could give it was a 4. This place is tiny so I would recommend getting your food to go if you live near by or plan on eating it in your car if you're just in the area. Owners were very nice when taking my order, didn't explain why they were out of chocolate but they had a ton of to-go orders waiting to be picked up. read more

I went to MOOYAH for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. I had never heard of the chain before, so I wasn't sure what to expect--but it did not disappoint! They have indoor seating and a few outdoor tables near the entrance, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy your meal. The burgers are very good here. The patties themselves aren't enormous, but they're perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The buns are soft and fresh, which made a great impression. The fries are clearly housemade, and I really appreciated the quality--they were crispy and tasty. We also tried one of their shakes, and it was terrific. It was so thick it could've doubled as dessert. I don't care if you need a spoon to eat it--it was wonderful. Everything we tried was delicious. We'll definitely be back! read more

Stopped in yesterday for lunch. Placed my order with no issue. My wife ordered black bean burger with Gluten free bun. As she was ordering toppings the cashier stopped her has pointed out the fried onion strings had a bit of gluten in the batter. We thought that was an AMAZING bit of customer service and attention to detail! When the food came, my shake was good, and the burger was GREAT! I would but it in the top 10 I have ever had. Beats the Habit Santa Barbra (a high bar for me) and close to Rocky's in Mission beach. The ONLY downside was the sweet potato fries were not very crisp. Flavor was good though. We are not in that area often, but hope to come back. read more

I enjoyed this spot The burger tasted as a burger should. You can taste the quality of the meat and the ingredients. The owner is funny and a great family/costumer man.

Listen, the hamburger was great. Hot & tasty. The potato chips, however, cold as could be. Seems they were just sitting around for a while, or not made to order. I stop here once in a while, on my way back from San Diego to OC. This is the first time I've tried the potato chips. Not impressed... It kinda ruined the meal for me. Perhaps, to their credit, it took them a while to make my Oreo shake. That was good too. While the place seems popular for takeout, it took my meal 15 minutes to be ready. I could try it once more without the potato chips, and still order the shake. That would tell me if the was the shake was the delay, but still, 15 minutes is too long for a hamburger... read more
