Hodad's

Their double bacon cheeseburger is massive and delicious. I could order only that and be done, but their malts are tasty as well. Long lines are common, but the food is worth it. more

Their single bacon cheeseburger is perfection. I love so many things about this place. Flavor, freshness, and execution approaching Platonic idealism. On top of that, it is entirely unpretentious. more

A refreshing twist on the local in-n-out burger. Love coming here but sometimes its way packed. more

Hodad's as just opened their new location in Downtown San Diego. It is located at the corner of 10th and Broadway. Regardless of price on the list Hodad's should be rated #1 on any San Diego Best Burger List. Be prepared to stand in line because there is always a line I always call in my order and take it to go, it is so much quicker. more

One of the best in town. Great tasting burgers, cool atmosphere right next to the beach, a definite must taste. more

...and dates that you're not ashamed to pig-out in front of. When San Diego is featured on one of those travelling food tv shows... chances are: they're featuring Hodads. Such a cool atmosphere, full of awesome decoration, and right next to the beach. Bacon Burger 4 Life. more

Awsome is all i gotta say. And that says it all. more

We were very excited about trying this place but were worried about long waits for seating and service. We lucked out and were sat in less than 10 minutes and had drinks within 5-10 mins of placing our order. The food was good, a little under seasoned, but good. And we as a family of four had a check of just around fifty bucks (including shakes and a full order of onion rings)\r \r We enjoyed the food so much we went back the next day and were seated immediately. The single cheeseburger was enough for me and my young sons while my hubby devoured a double. Friendly cashier gave my sons stickers and fun size candy bars. \r \r It is definitely a little grimy - the bathroom had gnats in the trash can - and thankfully a server I saw playing with his ear was not the guy who brought us our food. But all in all, it was worth it. more

EVERY time we are in SD -- which we try to make it once a year -- we go to Hodad's at least 2 or 3 times. It's worth busting your diet over -- trust me. The burgers are killer... even though now I can only eat a mini burger. The shakes are amazing.... the extra ice cream on top is so yummy. The frings... man you can just keep eatin those things.....\r \r If you haven't been -- go..... you won't be disappointed! Pros: Everything.... Cons: You get full way tooo fast~ more

t's pretty simple, really. A place with a sign ""Under 99 billion Served"" has to be pretty badass. We'll if you're lucky enough to see the sign (ace of base reference intended), you're in a magical place called Hodad's. Put simply, the burgers here might just be the most satisfying thing you've ever eaten. With a patty of bacon almost as big as the burger, the Hodad Bacon Cheeseburger is not to be passed up. Add to it an order of ""Frings"" (a basket of half fries and half uber beer battered onion rings) and a Dr. Pepper (so it's not beer, but it goes pretty damn good with a bacon cheeseburger) and you're good to go. Seriously, don't mess with it. It's amazing. Add to the great food a just general cool vibe ... cue the license plates on the wall, a random drifter or two outside viciously playing air-guitar (come on, it's Ocean Beach), and a $100 all you can eat offer on the menu. This might be the time to note that the burgers are like 6 bucks... but damn, it's still tempting. So head on down to the corner of Newport and Bacon (I couldn't have made that up if I wanted to) and bow down to the holiest of bacon cheeseburgers. All hail Hodad's, creator of some serious Good Grub. See more at www.thegoodgrub.weebly. com Pros: Grubalicious Cons: Nada more

I use to live in san diego for 5 years and spent a lot of time in ocean beach. I wasn't into the resturant scene until my girlfriend and I came back to san diego for the chargers raiders game. She said let's go to hodads in ob and I had the best double bacon cheese burger ever. This place has been on the tv series diners drive inns and dives. ***** starz to the owner and employees. I wish I cld have spent those 5 years there. Thank you more

You know somethings good if there is a line to get in and you can smell the food all the way down the beach. Hodads is the best place for burgers in Cali. They dont let you leave hungry thats for sure. We flew 2000 miles for this place I highly recommend it!!!!!!!!! Pros: huge portions, on the beach, crazy atmosphere Cons: pepsi more

If my husband and I want a hamburger, no question we're heading to Hodad's. I order the veggie burger (and... more

Hodad's is what everyone says it is: awesome burger joint by the beach. Always packed. Loud and crazy. I wouldn't go here on a first date, job interview, or anything like that... because it is run-down, maybe a little too laid-back, and very much a ""beach bum"" hang-out. But if you don't mind the run-down atmosphere--I personally enjoyed it--then you can't beat their gigantic, delicious burgers and fries. The employees are hit-and-miss. I was both appalled and delighted by different employees in the same visit. Prices are what you would expect from a burger joint in Southern California. Somewhere between Denny's and Outback. I'll always bring people that come to town to visit here. Recommended. Pros: Good food, cool atmosphere, by the beach Cons: Rude service, hole-in-the-wall more

It was very good. The burger pwned, It was huge! And the malt was good. more

We sat at the bar since it was the only place to sit in the whole restaurant. After walking by a few times and seeing a line out the door, we felt lucky to get the bar! The bar tender was very prompt and friendly. I ordered a single cheeseburger that was awesome. I wish I knew the mini burgers (I think that?s what they are called) aren?t sliders ? they are just normal size burgers. The regular burgers (like what I ordered) are huge! Next time I will get a mini. Overall, I?d recommend this place for a casual meal if you don?t mind the potential wait. Pros: burgers are very good Cons: there might be a wait more

SO we plan our weekends around food and this stop is 2 hours away. I am a burger QUEEN and I say this is... more

We went down here on a Saturday and were there when it opened at 11, by 11:15, there was a wait. This is an indication that people love this place. Huge burgers, great frings (fries/onion rings combo) ... great service, very friendly and prompt ... .thought about getting a double, very glad to have ordered a single cheeseburger. Wish I could have remembered to get a shake instead of a soda, but that will be rectified on our next visit. Awesome atmosphere, lots to read and watch while you wait for your order. We took a long walk on the pier afterwards to work some of this off. One of the best burgers I have ever had, and my husband agrees Pros: Portions, service, quality of food more
