I've sampled many a burger in San Diego, and I would have to say Hodad's is the best in town. The wait staff looks rough around the edges, but they're all sweethearts and provide quick service with no less than a smile. The burgers are consistently delicious, the fries are always hot and crisp, and their milkshakes are the real thing! Perfect after a day on the beach, or a laid-back night. Sit at the bar stools facing the street and you'll be in for some great people-watching. \r

It is a must to take out-of-town visitors to this burger joint. Anyone we've ever taken there wants to go back whenever they visit!
Pros: Great service, consistently great food and beer for cheap, fun atmosphere, a piece of San Diego culture you've got to experience.
Cons: Gets crowded, especially during the summer, but the line does move quickly.
