    MDC burger
    Don B.

    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.

    Can Order at kiosk

    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.

    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.

    Was just what I wanted! Fresh burger cooked to order. You can make it your own way or choose from their options for toppings. Not too greasy, but a good juicy burger with fresh cut fries served hot!

    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.

    You can order at the counter or on the kiosk. We prefer to order from a real live human. This the menu on the counter.

    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!

    Bread is nice and soft
    K C.

    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

    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!

    Bacon cheeseburger
    Heci L.

    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.

    Mango Lemonade?
    AJ S.

    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.

    Little MOO Shake mint chocolate chip
    Dominic B.

    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!

    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!

    MOOYAH Cheeseburger & Shareable Hand-Cut Fries
    Yvette S.

    So good! Visited for the second time here while in the area and it was delicious. Fresh ingredients, really soft bun and flavorful, their fries are good. I love that they have the skin on them and aren't greasy. Service was great, the owner is always super attentive and nice to everyone that comes in and checks on them. It's a family oriented place with wall lined seating and charging stations along the booths super nifty! Patio seating in a warm day and friendly atmosphere.

    Stumbled across Burger Lounge due to my little monster craving for some burgers for dinner. A quick…read moresearch online led me here... Let me start off by saying I initially thought Burger Lounge would be great but heading to the closest In N Out would be just as good and at a fraction of the cost. Luckily for me, my little one refused my attempted coaxing. Parking was a breeze given the fact that the lot is massive- perfect for the neighboring businesses and the busy foot traffic coming and going. Our party of three were immediately greeting with a smiling young gentleman standing behind the register. At first glace, the restaurant was massive is size, very spacious, modern, and 100% well kept/tidy. Seating and decor was simple enough but still had a classiness to it. We placed our order with the smiling gentleman [whom I learned was ANDREW]. Dinner consisted of: *KIDS MEAL: Cheeseburger with onions, lettuce, and EXTRA pickles *BACON BLEU BURGER *TRUFFLE-MUSHROOM SWISS BURGER *LARGE HALF & HALF [ tallow fried onion rings + fries] *DRINK Food: I kid you not, EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!!! The order was made beautifully- presented well and cooked flawlessly. A+ for taste and presentation, which I totally didn't expect. Brioche buns were fluffy yet charred just enough on the grill to house all of the ingredients. The patties were flavorful and juicy. The goodness didn't stop there- BD mentioned Burger Lounge's onion rings being the BEST he's ever had!! Quality is absolutely undeniable. Above all, this burger joint runs smoothly thanks to the incredible staff. Each and every person we encountered was kind, polite, and so very eager to help with whatever requests. The only complaint I had was the terrible internet connection. Come here expecting to put your phones/tablets down even if you don't want to. LMAO. 5/5 stars but I'd easily give them so much more. Dinner was absolutely delicious and I am so sad that this particular Burger Lounge is soooo soooo far from home. I will 100% make it a habit to stop by whenever I happen to be in the area- THEY ARE TRULY THAT DAMN GOOD!!

    I loved coming here for burgers and fries. Especially being a vegetarian, this is the only place…read morethey have really impossible burgers. Unfortunately we just learned that they now dry everything in Beef tallow. Needless to say we won't be coming here any more.

The burgers were phenomenal! The blue cheese was sooo good! The truffle burger was incredible! I thought the Better Mac would have been my favorite, and it was still good, but surprisingly, it wasn't my fave over the three. The chicken sandwiches are HUGE but I wished the tenders were tossed in the sauce/seasoning. They add the garlic parm on top of the tenders as they're assembled on top of the bun, so it doesn't completely coat the tender. IMO, it would be more flavorful tossed. However, the aioli sauces are just so delicious and to kill for! Even though this is also a smash burger leave, their burgers aren't thin and had a lot of bite to them! They're so worth it and hands down much better than across the street!
