15 Best Burger Restaurants in El Cajon

“I had the pleasure of encountering Ramon who was holding down the parking lot. He was so nice. He apologized for the wait and explained that only one tablet was working. I appreciated his transparency as I was wondering “what’s going on with in and out tonight?”. Andrew took my order, he was very thorough and efficient he got my order correct on the first try despite how busy he was. And at the window I had very friendly service. The food was piping hot and everything tasted amazing. I come here often but was impressed by the service at such a time as this“

“To start off, not a food reviewer but I had to come on here to give this shop a review! Husband and I just got 2 smash burgers and a fry. Let me just say WOW… (and we’ve tried 10+ smash burger joints all around the San Diego area) Fries were dropped fresh in the fryer the second we ordered, which you don’t get everywhere now days. Nothing but good things to say about the smash burger, fries and their signature “Sizzle” burger sauce! This place deserves the hype! This will be our new smash spot.“

The restaurant was very well-maintained, and I can personally vouch that the men's room was kept very clean. It was a pleasant atmosphere overall, and I am already looking forward to my next outing with her.
