Storefront
Christopher G.

I bought a chicken burger with fries from Smash Bacon for my godson. He rated it a 9.5/10 and really, really enjoyed it! He said the breading and flavor was super good, and the chicken was very tender and juicy. I have to admit, it looked really tasty. The storefront is inside Market on 8th, and is surrounding by a Mexican seafood stall and a taco stall. The staff are friendly, easygoing, and the prices aren't too steep. They also offer bottles of ketchup, mustard, ranch, and BBQ sauce for you to take to your table. Overall, it's a nice experience, and we can at least vouch that the chicken burger is a top-notch sandwich. Probably on par with Crack Shack in Little Italy, but ~$4-$5 less per plate.

Vendor stall
Emmett T.

Smash Bacon is the latest burger vendor to occupy this stall at the Market on 8th food hall in National City. The previous burger joint couldn't have lasted more than a year. There were some new twists to the menu with bacon being more prominent in nearly each of the six Burger Specialties that came with a side of french fries. I guess that's why Bacon was part of the business name. Chicken was also a part of the menu in the form of a burrito, fries, wings, and tenders. As tempting as The Bone Marrow Double sounded, I selected The Eggcellent Double Burger for my order. A fried egg and bacon topped the double patty with American cheese. The burger was wrapped in waxed paper and served in a lined basket with shoestring french fries that were hot out of the fryer. For a bacon double cheeseburger, the quality and size were decent, maybe slightly above average. There were certainly enough calories to satiate my appetite. I rated my meal at Smash Bacon between three and four stars.

this was the burn caused by the jalapeno poppers

They did not warn me about the jalapeno poppers. i ended up with a burn that tore my skin.

Delicious bone barrow burger and fries.
Ed M.

Have to say the bone barrow burger is delicious. The price point is about on point with what you'd find at most chain burger spots. After tip this ran about $18.

Buffalo chicken fries
Samantha G.

This is located at Market on 8th st. I ordered the buffalo chicken fries and buffalo chicken burrito. I shared it with a friend and it was a good amount of food to share. I really enjoyed the buffalo chicken fries. I got the hot and it was a good amount of spice but not too spicy. The service was great and there is plenty of seating inside.

My bacon cheeseburger and fries
Monster X.

Had a bacon smash that came with fries, the fries could have been cooked a little longer but they and the burger were excellent. I don't live in national city but this place is a good reason to visit so I'll be back. Also their are other businesses including a bar with beer to go with my food

The Original Smash Bacon Burger $11.99
Christine S.

The Original Smash Bacon Burger is $11.99 and each order comes with fries. The burger patties are crisp with a caramelized crust and a juicy center. The bread was fresh and fries are golden and crispy. They have really good sauces and I specifically like their ranch. This place is located inside Marker on 8th, it can get crowded but there's always seating available both inside and outdoors. Service was friendly and fast. I highly recommend if you are craving a burger.

We decided to come here for Friday Night dinner tonight. When we arrived, we noticed that there was…read moresignage about th charging $10 to come in and listen to the live music. We were only there to get dinner and so we didn't realize that you can also just come for the live music with a $10 admission fee. When we approached the host station, Wilbur the host and server he explained it to us. Since we were just having dinner, we were good to be seated in the dining room. We were seated in the middle of the room at a bar top dining table. They did have booths, but they were all taken. It was still a really good spot and as we could see the televisions above the bar. This is a really lively place on Friday night. Some patrons pay $10 for live music and dancing. They also have access to the bar in the dancing area which is a patio outside. We ordered: Cornbread appetizer, 1 Flat iron steak dinner-cooked medium, and 1 Cobb Salad with Chicken added as a protein. I don't care for balsamic vinaigrette, so I requested that my dressing was the Caesar dressing. I also had a Tamarindo margarita which was absolutely delicious. The bartenders were very busy. There were two ladies as bartenders. They were very, very efficient and I watched them operate. The vibe and the customer service at the bar seemed great. The patrons in the dancing area with live music had access to a bar window so that they could make their drink orders at that bar window. I thought this was very convenient. Our food came out in a timely manner and the cornbread was absolutely delicious. It comes with a honey butter that is very tasty. My husband said his flat iron steak was great and he ate the whole meal. He seemed to really enjoy it, which was nice. I was a little full from the cornbread so I only ate maybe a third of my Cobb salad. The Cobb salad was really good and fresh. The added protein was grilled chicken and it was a dry. The Caesar dressing was absolutely yummy. I noted that it also had a garlic flavor to it which contributed to the enhancement of taste. Our server's name was Wilbur and he took care of us for the whole dining experience. He had excellent customer service and was very attentive overall. We really appreciated how Wilbur was so dedicated to detail as our server. He checked on us appropriately, he verified what we needed, and he also just sort of took care of everything when it came to packing up our food to go. Since we are new customers, we will probably come back just because of the excellent customer service from Wilbur. The food was good and very reasonably priced. My Margarita was also fantastic. Again, the vibe was great and a lot of positive energy is going on here. Thanks for a great experience Wilbur! Also the manager or owner of the establishment checked in with us while we were finishing up our dining. This was a very meaningful encounter and we appreciate appreciated it as well. It's always nice to see the owner or manager taking pride in their venue.

I came here over the weekend, on Sunday, just looking for a quick bite and to relax. I saw on the…read moremenu, before I arrived, they had cornbread and I was craving some. Outside, there was a band/dj combination playing 90's music from all genres, and a nice fun crown outside dancing. The weather was nice so I could sit inside and enjoy the music. I am not a big burger person but this place def topped the scales in a positive way! Their burger was amazing! The sweet potato fries were a little overdone (dark) but not burnt so I didn't have to return them. But the star of the show was their version of an espresso martini, but made with tequila. GAME CHANGER! SO SMOOOTH! I was disappointed they had run out of the cornbread. I am only in town for a few more days so I came back tonight for one last espresso and to see if they had cornbread, which they did. Huge portion, delicious flavor and honey butter adds another layer of deliciousness! Worth it. Laid back atmosphere tonight. Large space, lots of room, friendly staff both visits. Def worth a trip. And good parking! Which is worth the drive, if you know anything about San Diego.

Never knew this hidden gem was in National City let alone a few blocks away from my house! Not sure…read moreif this is a good thing.... As I can see myself being here waaay too much. As soon as I entered it was quite empty for Saturday night which I actually like cause I dislike crowed places. There is also tons of parking. The vibe I get is very chill and casual. I tried the mint chocolate chip ice with a paired stout that I don't remember the name of it but taste like coffee. I loved!!! Also tried kombucha that honestly is the best I've everrrr had. Lastly tried the "big hand" incredibly smooth and rich. Loved it as well!!! This place is a 10/10 can't wait to come and try more beers. Go support a local brewery in National City. You can thank me laters!

I'm so glad my husband decided to search for a new brewery in our area. This was probably one of…read morethe best finds we've found living here in the South Bay Area. Hannegan is the best of both worlds: beer and freaking ice cream. This review literally could end here, cause what place does that?! This is located pretty tucked away, so I'd like to think people who really search for good beer would be the ones to find a gem like this. First off, if you're a huge Star Wars fan like I am, you will be surrounded by the coolest art and collectibles all over the place. Love that touch. The house beer is damn good: The Color We're Meant to Bleed, Irish red. It's smooth with a nice aftertaste. You'll really enjoy it, I promise you. Also, do yourself another favor, and get the Irish cream. Now for my personal favorite, the ice cream is literally amazing. He usually combines such unique flavors and infuses his beer into the mix. One time I went, I believe it was a chocolate covered strawberry (or something of that sort) and it was amazing! This visit, they had a grapefruit ipa (just to give you an idea of the variety that is provided). It's always interesting to see what he comes up with next! I met the owner, Andy, who is such a nice man. He walked me through the process of opening up this establishment from the ground up, and it really makes you see how proud he is of what he built. The whole point of starting a business is to be able to do exactly what you love to do, and that's what Hannegan's is. Highly recommend it and definitely will make this a stop whenever I'm in the area.

DOPE BAR (5 stars)…read more - VIBE CHECK: pass - AMBIANCE: chill - SERVICE: friendly Very cool spot. Came here for a hang session mid-afternoon with the homies and had a good time! They have a built in DJ Booth likely for their house DJ but this event organizers hired another DJ group to play the jams and they were used the booth. The space is right in downtown Chula with an opening to outside, some cushion couches with tables, and more tables towards the back. They do serve beverages and some food but the food is very limited. My social circle and I are at that age where we don't really drink to socialize, nor go out late to bars to socialize, we either have get togethers at each others homes do a bbq/potluck and play games, or we out doing something during the day. It's nice that a place like this was open mid-afternoon for a chill session without the hassle. LEMONADE ($3) - average but satisfied the craving. Until the next review...

Tender Hooligan has been in business since 2024 and it's known for its unique blend of high-fidelity vinyl listening, specialty coffee, craft beer, and cocktails. The audiophile cafe and bar is located next door to La Pesca Cevicheria on Third Ave. We had a 45 minute wait time for dinner at La Pesca and ordered a few drinks while we waited for table. Tender Hooligan functions as a community hub with a record store, themed spaces, and events like live music and game nights, offering a cozy, eclectic atmosphere for working, socializing, or enjoying music. The menu features unique drinks like the Ube Espresso and Jeepney Latte, alongside food and a selection of soju cocktails. I ordered a beer michelada. It's such a fun hangout check it out!!
