18 Best Burger Restaurants in El Cajon

“My family and I LOVE In-N-Out. As usual, this place was busy. Also as usual, the staff were amazing at handling all the madness. My 4yr old son and I ordered our food, they gave him a set of crayons and a hat, we got our drinks and watched as the amazing staff did their magic. Food was great, as usual 😋“

“Found Funky Burgers and Fries today. I just wanted a Strawberry Shake. It was awesome! Made with quality ingredients and care. The service was excellent. I’ll be back to try their Burgers & Fries👍“

“It’s been a while since I last visited Beef and Bun, but it never disappoints. Their burgers are always fresh and delicious, almost like they were made right at home. The patties are juicy, the toppings are just right, and the buns are perfectly toasted. If you’re looking for that classic burger taste, this is the spot.

Now, the shakes—they’re over the top. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, they’re the perfect treat to go with your meal. Whether you’re a fan of the classics like chocolate or vanilla or want to try something more adventurous, you won’t be disappointed.

The restaurant itself is on the smaller side. It’s clean and cozy, with just enough seating to accommodate a small group of 4 to 6. If you’re planning to dine in, keep in mind that space is limited. However, they do have a drive-thru if you’re in a hurry or prefer to enjoy your meal at home. Ordering ahead is a smart move, especially during busy times, to avoid the wait.

Overall, Beef and Bun is a solid choice when you’re craving a great burger and shake. It’s a small spot“

“Fast food burger place that started in santa barbara years ago. Everything is made to order. I had the portobello mushroom burger. The sauces were nice. I haven't been I would definitely ask if they could cook the thin burger not quite so dry. My son had a combo plate cheeseburger. No complaints and better than the ones that keep things on steam tables. The fries were good.“

“Best chicken shawarma wrap I’ve ever had in my life, and the nicest people serving too! Definitely should try this food truck if you are downtown!“

“Best corned beef hash ever!!“

“great local sports bar atmosphere with variety of food and plenty of options for tv watching and drink options“

“We had the greatest server, Taylor in your Rancho San Diego restaurant, Jamacha Road,. She was so personable, efficient, friendly and extremely attentive. The food arrived hot and it was delicious. It was a party of 3, and we all agreed the meals were the best we’ve had out in a long time. We thoroughly enjoyed it and Taylor made our experience delightful!!! We’ll definitely return to this establishment.

Parking: Disabled parking is conveniently positioned.“

“Love it there, the lady and son and workers are really nice 👍“

“I don’t even drink beer and this is my happy place“

“Monster Taco's the BEST!“

“I gotta give this place a five star rating cause the service was great and the food was delicious. Comparing it to Epic Wings, I can honestly say this place might even beat it, especially cause the strips were more crispier.One thing is for sure, I will be returning and choosing it over Epic Wings. Oh, and this place has way more options with food and sauces.“

“It's all day today I've been telling my friends that Five Guys has the best burgers in town and now I'm getting a load of requests to try out other places.“

“Food was good. I was able to get a nice, very full, 3 egg white omelet with spinach mushroom tomatoes and a pretty topping of Avocado slices.
(The old cholesterol needs to come down, so it was my best bet)
Decent size fruit cup.
Didn't have that "cooked on a grill with layers of grease from a hundred other breakfasts" taste.

Also added the Fluffy French Toast, which seems to be my "latest craving - could eat it anytime food." (I cheated. Just half the slice)

And the bread is "fluffy!" At least the size of 2 big slices of regular bread. Different & good.

I loved my waitress, Lizzie. She had the sweetest smile and was very attentive to our table and extras we would need.

The menu looks newer and it's a nice upgrade they did. Also, a nice change from eating at another
Diner favorite a lot.

This IHOP on North Second Street/Oakdale, El Cajon, is my favorite one & I would recommend it.
It can be noisy when the kids are eating, but, hey, so is Disneyland!“

“Went at dinner time to watch Padres game. Seated after 15 min to Great seats to watch on big screen. Ordered the 44 muskgrove burger. Big juicy three patty heart attack! Delicious. Wife had cob salad and couldn't eat all. Great sport viewing and food.“

“I’ve gone to Applebee’s a lot of times over the years, but it’s been a few years since my last visit.

We decided to give it a try and see what it’s like since our last visit and if the food was better than we had last remembered .

We were immediately sat but after a few minutes we were told our waitress was leaving due to an emergency and we were moved to another table, which is no issue. The only downside was the new TV was not the baseball game.

Our new server was very nice and very attentive. We were able to put in our order for our drinks and appetizer and maybe a five minute wait for both of us to come back.

The wings were not super hot somewhere between lukewarm and hot .

I got 8 ounce sirloin, medium rare and she got a burger. The mashed potato portion is a little small with my steak, but good flavor. It was just more bloody with juices leaking than an average sirloin

Her burger was good, but it was the same situation where juice is leaking more than your typical burger .

The bill wasn’t too bad. I feel like it was justified with the food, labor, and service.

Though the table behind us, I feel with being a bit rude to our server as they wanted their steak comped due to it not being bone in even though they swore on the menu, it said it was. It seemed unfair that they wanted that to be redone, even though it was their error of miss reading. Our server handled it well.“

“I love this McDonald's. The people are so friendly. Way better than 2nd st!“

“My local Jack in the box. Never had a bad experience here. My latest addiction is fill out the receipt survey then next trip two for one jumbo Jack's. And repeat. Used to get donation $1 cirly fry but I think it's over now boo. Late night munchy meal boxes and crazy and so good but soo bad for you lol.“
