Half of a RomBomb single and half of a Western single - so good!
Pam B.

RomBomb serves up some 'feel good' burgers; you know the kind that you can just tell they were made with love? My most recent experience with them was a pick up order from this location. I usually stick to singles, so it perfectly hits the spot without feeling too full. But if it were at a brewery or some of their other pop-up locations, I would probably have less control and go for seconds. I think their OG RomBomb is the star, but you can't go wrong with either of the burger choices. Tots are a nice touch too, bc they stay crisp and are seasoned, also with love! I love me a small business with quality products, and San Diego, this is it!

Let's call it a six. I've had this burger half a dozen times now and it just gets better and better. Especially with a cold beer. It's the definition of simplicity. Two perfectly cooked smash patties fried with shoe string onions and placed on a potato bun with a house made secret sauce a la thousand island with hints of sweet relish and possibly a hit of A-1 sauce. And always cooked to order right in front of you on an old school cast iron stove. It is all you need in a burger.

They mainly have an Instagram presence, and I did not have an instagram account. But I heard such good things about RomBombBurger from other San Diegans and food blogs that I created an account just so I could try them out! I think they are a pop-up/food truck, because you essentially place your online order between Friday - Tuesday, for pickup on Wednesday. - RomBomb single burger ($6): So this burger has shown up on multiple BEST BURGER lists in San Diego. We have been trying the burgers on the list and have mainly been disappointed, but this burger exceeded expectations. Perfectly seared smash burgers topped with grilled onions, tangy sauce for contrast against the creamy cheese, housed in a soft fluffy bun. And just look at the price, which is lower than any other burger on the top burger lists. We purchased 6 burgers and ate 3 that night. The remaining 3 were reheated for lunch the next day (and still delicious!). - Tater tots ($3): Delicious crispy tots that were seasoned to perfection! Rarely do I eat fries or tots without dunking it in sauce, but these were so flavorful that I did not even need the side of sauce. As a note, they sent out the google maps link for directions to their new location, but my phone still took me to the wrong side. So I was walking around a church's parking lot, able to scent the grilled onions in the air, but unable to figure out which direction to go. The entrance is on the KEARNY VILLA RD side, and you message them on instagram when you have arrived.

Romin is the besttttttt!!! His smash burgers are delicious and a crowd pleaser!! We had him come cater our daughters birthday a few years ago and he came back this year to cater my sons birthday! All the kids and adults loved every burger and we enjoyed the leftovers the next day! he is organized, punctual, fast and friendly! His burgers were made to order and his special sauce and grilled onions are delicious!! Thank you Romin!!

The cheesiest, greasy (in a good way), best bites of burger you will ever have. Seriously such a good pop up, consistently great each time I've had them.

love this place. might be our favorite burger place in san diego!…read more we got the mini cheeseburger with fries and the chili burger. both were delicious in their own way. the fries are great wedge fries with a good crunch and flavoring on the outside but soft and pillowy on the inside. we also got a vanilla shake that was huge. after drink half we brought home the rest which filled up their whole to go cup! there was plenty of seating when we went and the staff was super attentive and brought out our food fast.

We grabbed a late lunch at Hodad's today. We waited a few minutes by the entrance, and we were then…read moreseated at a high-top table. Our orders were taken quickly, and large waters with lemon were brought out to us. Our burgers came out in about 7 minutes and they were just what the doctor ordered. :) My chicken burger was especially delicious, and I'd asked for extra pickles, and let's just say that the Hodad's chefs did not disappoint. 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!

I've gotten the mushroom ricotta slice and the cheeseburger and boy is it's greasy and scrumptious all in one. A nice spot to stop by for a quiet bite and you don't have to wait too long. Definitely a spot to check out for a beer and slice.

Short story: service sucks and the food was meh…read more Long story: I've been really looking forward to eating here for a long time. 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.

Stopped in last night to celebrate my husband's birthday. Although Del's doesn't take reservations, we were able to snag a few tables right next to the kids play area. It was perfect since we had so many kids in our party. All the food was delicious -- from their baked beans, corn bread, onion rings, and to their barbecue selection. We ordered the 12 party meal plus some appetizers for the kids such as the Mac & cheese and chicken tenders. Everyone was commenting on how good everything was. Honestly, this has become one of our favorite barbecue spots! Their bbq sauce is also really good, it had the right amount of sweetness and slight tang without being too thick. Would definitely recommend to anyone who just wants to watch the game by themselves or bring a large party. Thank you Del's for making it a memorable night!
