24 Best Burger Restaurants in El Cajon

“In-N-Out Burger is perfect all around—great food, consistency, and service as always. The only recommendation I’d suggest is giving customers an estimated wait time when ordering. I placed my order and received number 92, but they were still serving around number 50. The wait ended up being close to 40 minutes. A heads-up on expected wait time would really help set expectations. Otherwise, everything else was excellent.“

“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👍“

“I'm surprised I've never reviewed. Beef 'n Bun. First, it would be hard to find a better milkshake in the County, but they've always excelled in their burgers and fish (like another place I know 😉). Fries? I'm generally not a fan of crinkle cut fries, and theirs didn't do much to change that.
That aside, I was in the area and since I haven't had anything besides a banana shake in a few years, so I went in for a monster burger combo upgraded with a large banana shake. A quick note - I tried to get a banana shake in Vegas several weeks back. I've never seen so many blank stares in my life. Sad.
My shake came out first, as always. But I wasn't expecting a THREE PATTY cheeseburger. Surprise! It used to be a respectable 2-patty that I could finish and still breathe. Not this thing. It's obscene and decadent and meaty and cheesy. The onions, tomatoes and pickles don't stand a chance against the meat sunami. The bun is there to make it look like a burger, but don't expect it to hold up for long. You're on your own. Just don't accidentally bite your hand off. I think B&B did great by making the monster burger just that. I tried my best, but I ate too many of their FRIES. Curse them, these were cooked longer and had more salt than the old crinkle fries. I have no complaints. I would throw in a picture, but it's about 2/3 finished and gross like a meat-car crash with my face.
As for the banana shake, I just finished it - 90 minutes later. I'm so glad this place has been so good for so long.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Melissa and Cynthia were absolutely amazing! I could not have asked for greater service. They each checked on my table every 5 minutes. My glass was never empty. And let me not forget about the energy in the restaurant, family all around. You will not be disappointed stopping.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Monster Taco's the BEST!“

“Applebee’s is a great spot for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. The menu has plenty of tasty options, from steaks to salads, and the appetizers are consistently good. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere feels welcoming whether you're dining alone or with friends. The prices are reasonable for the quality, and service tends to be quick even during busy hours. Overall, a reliable place for a casual meal with good vibes and solid food.“

“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.“

“Excellent service real good food“

“I'm not much of a gambler but my dad was a frequent visitor when he was alive. So in his honor on his birthday we had dinner at one of the restaurants. Ordered one of Dad's signature dishes that I miss, meatloaf. Although not like dads it was tasty and good size slice. Everyone enjoyed their dishes as well. Our waitress was very friendly and responsive which made Dads birthday celebration that much nicer. Maybe a new tradition!“

“Love the new employees they hired, very personable and overall sweet people.

Don't know if this is standard for their tacos, or if these have been sitting in a puddle of oil for too long. $1 for 2 tacos when ordering through the app is a price that can't be beat, so I'm not upset.

Coke freestyle machines keep me coming back. They never seem to skimp on syrup, so it's always flavorful. Try the lime coke if you haven't already.“

“Es un buen restaurante donde te atienden bien y amablemente y muy rápido es el restaurante más rápido que he visto“

“Excellent Service Social Distancing Polite First Time There I Loved It !!💞 Great Environment Great Food They Even Offered Us Water For The Wait Excellent Service Blessings 💞🙏“

“If you buy something save the receipt for the next time. Just take the survey, write the code on the receipt and keep in wallet! When on the way home from Sycaun with your friend drive thru Jack in the Box and pick up a BOGO ultimate burger for the ride home! Great way to end the night! Thanks! 😊“
