Crinkle cut fries? Seriously, do better!
Wine T.

Haven't tried the burgers yet, but I'm so turned off by their selection of fries, I'm not sure I'll come back! Crinkle cut fries are cheap and lousy. Even trader Joe's frozen fries taste better. Please get better fries.l

YES YES YES!!! It's been open for about a month and I've been 3 times. It's that good Killer smashed burger! Well seasoned juicy deliciousness. Crisp lettuce great tomatoes. Perfect bun. All around 6 star. Fried chicken sandwich is insane. Easily one of the best I've ever had. Even my kids say better than Chik-Fil-A Quick turnaround. They cook everything to order. The burgers and dogs take no time. The fried chicken sandwich takes a little longer but to be expected. Super cool, super quick, outdoor spot on Del Mar. Love it! Everyone should go!!!

This place is a great casual (read less expensive) addition to the Del mar dining scene. I ordered a chilu burger and the smashburger style patty had a nice caramelized crust with a pickle relish underneath, a smear of chili and American cheese. The crinkle cut fries were not fresh cut but we all love those anyway. There is a patio with six tables but I recommend getting it in a togo box and walk down to the pier and wTch the surfers. The woman who took our order sure was cheerful.

4 stars. I will likely come back. The location is great and the service was phenomenal. Carl who took our order made the whole visit. They just seem to love what they do and value the community. Their sauces were very good. And I'm not a big fan of lettuce and tomatoes on a burger (because I think it often is so much that it overtakes the burger) but I forgot to order it without and it was actually perfect! The chicken on the sandwich was large, tender, and the perfect texture. The burger was similar to in'n'out. But the fries were phenomenal. Crispy outside, mashed potatoes in the middle, and well salted. The branding and boxes are super cute but you'll need to ask for a bag to carry them.

Burger and fries with ketchup one the side and one orange Poppi soda.

Second time here! The burger was very fresh, savory, juicy, cheesy flavorful and delicious. Also, the ketchup and mustard were super tangy, the fries were crispy, crunchy, and salty, and tasty, great selection of refreshing sodas to choose from, excellent service, nice atmosphere with upbeat music and I had an excellent experience today.

I keep hearing really good things about this restaurant so I decided to try it for lunch today. If you haven't been here before it's on Del Mar tucked back a little bit but right next to Pronto Italian market. It's a very casual, simple restaurant with a walk up window that you order at and then sit at tables outside. I was craving a burger today, so I just went with the cheeseburger combo, which was very satisfying for me! They have what they call "break sauce" for you to add to your burger. I couldn't quite figure out the flavors, but it was really good on my hamburger. It comes on the side so you can put it as much or as little as you would like. Also, they do crispy fries, which I found delightful! Not only do they have burgers, but they have chicken sandwiches. Next time I think I will try the Nashville chicken sandwich, which apparently is everyone's favorite! Also, the service is quite fast, so it is perfect for a quick lunch!

This place is Ok. Probably the best thing about it is the burger price. Definitely can't beat that. I tried the chicken sandwich because so many people wrote it is better than chick fila. I can 100% say that is not true. It was very lack luster. Under seasoned and very dry. I kept dousing it in ranch or ketchup but nothing helped. The truffle cheese fries have a truffle essence but barely. I also was expecting more of a cheese truffle sauce but instead it's more like shreds of some cheddar cheese. The onion rings were horrible. They were fried so much they basically crumbled in your mouth while also cold inside. Which doesn't make sense. My dad's review of his lettuce wrap burger was that it was good but the lettuce overpowered the burger. The regular fries were good. I wish they had a vegetarian patty burger option because if they had I would have tried that as a truffle burger.

The best burger place in town! Truffle mushroom cheese burger and nashville chicken sandwich are my favorites. Good customer service and friendly atmosphere. The price is even better. I've been coming back here every Monday.

Great spot. Visited for the first time and received great service. Friendly staff. Limited menu burgers, chicken sandwiches and hot dogs. Fair prices. Limited outdoor seating.

Been wanting to try this new smashburger spot, but unfortunately the service was a complete let down. Placed our order for 5 burgers and fries, and were waiting, and waiting, and waiting. We noticed people that ordered after us already got their food. After about 20 minutes we asked the cashier the status of our order and apparently the ticket never went through to the kitchen... strange. At least one of the gals offered a shave ice or cookie while we waited. I thought the ladies working were nice but they seem super clueless and not aware at all. Like you notice people that are still sitting and waiting for their food and don't say/do anything about it? Anyways 40 minutes later we got our food to go and when we got home, the specialty truffle burger was missing of course. Just a complete let down overall. While the burgers were tasty, they were like three biters. You gotta order at least 2 to feel satisfied lol. It's a shame because while the staff were friendly, it was just extremely unorganized and disappointing how they had us waiting all this time to not even get the entire order right. Hope they can do better, but likely won't be returning. Go to Small's instead.

Welcome to the neighborhood Point Break! What a great addition to Del Mar - fantastic burgers and hot dogs at an excellent price point. It's a walk up window with a few tables outside but it's perfect for a grab and go bite to take down to the beach! Awesome customer service and hot fresh food. Excited to try the rest of the menu!

If you want something quick and a to go order for burgers this is the Spot downtown!!! They have been here for 4 months now and my family and I just tried it for the first time on a Sunday! The cashier was really friendly and so nice!!! Their burgers are great! The country fried chicken was delicious with the amazing break sauce that they have! Can't say much with this place except it is great to have a burger place in the middle of del mar! If you haven't been to this place yet... I urge you to go and try it and you will always come back for more!!! Highly recommend it! I just wish it would be bigger with more tables!

This place is so cute!!!…read more The food was really good and the buns are excellent. My only issue, was that the veggie burger made me super gassy, which is not the fault of the restaurant at all- they did what they are supposed to do- make the food I ordered, make good suggestions, and let me enjoy their beautiful patio happily- hence 5 stars... but man... the farts. That was surprising. They had a bunch of housemade sauces. I would not suggest the homemade ketchup. It's more like a homemade tomato sauce, which is a weird thing to dip fries into. As for the rest of the sauces, I would for sure pour them into my mouth. And a hard yes to the strawberry shake. That tasted like it was made from actual strawberries.

We were not particularly hungry so we all had our chili hot dog and one kid's meal. My husband had the single cheeseburger. Seriously, the chili hot dog is amazing! It is a must-try item on the menu. The chili was delicious with a perfectly cooked beef hot dog. The sized portion was great too. I also recommend the Rice Crispy Treat and homemade chocolate pudding. They were super good. They've got indoor and also great outdoor seating depending on what is available or your preference. There is also a heater installed on the patio to make the outdoor dining comfortable. However, coastal evenings can turn chilly even in summer so bring a warm jacket or sweater. This will be very helpful to make a significant difference in your comfort.

Oddly you had to pay for sauce at least when ordering online. A nominal .30 charge but still, should be included for your first couple. These were okay, a little too much breading but sizeable tenders. They also have a crispy chicken sandwich, turkey and veggie burgers, and hot dogs but the menu is definitely no-frills overall. They do have some "meal deal" options that include fries and a drink for around $20. Delivery was fast and it was packaged well. I would order again!

Dessert: Oreo shake and strawberry shake, both rich but not too heavy, just right. Everything was phenomenal, and the customer service matched the food. We were checked on multiple times without being bothered, and the space had plenty of seating both inside and out. The AC was a welcome relief from the heat, too. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

Filet mignon, ordered medium rare, is definitely petite; sitting on crispy garlic toast, topped with what seems to be chimichurri (though the menu only mentions steak butter). All of it, perfection. We enjoyed our cocktails as well. Both of us with a Coco Rita in hand. It felt like a vacation. We enjoyed the cocktail so much that we sat in the bar for another one after paying the bill and moving our cars (due to the 3 hour parking limit). I live in Oceanside and would love to come back here. Old Town San Clemente has it's own charm. It felt like a little getaway though was only a girls day outing.
