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
