Classic Burger

“The Well Deck is a hidden gem inside Navy Base San Diego. The atmosphere is clean, welcoming, and has a relaxing vibe that’s perfect after a long day on base. The staff is always friendly and professional — they really make you feel appreciated.

The food is fresh and well-prepared, with generous portions and great flavor. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal, everything tastes like it’s made with care. Their burgers and pizzas are top-notch, and the drink selection is surprisingly good for a spot on base.

It’s definitely one of the better dining options around — great food, chill environment, and solid service every time. Highly recommend stopping by The Well Deck if you get the chance!“

“Drive thru for the famous chicken sandwich. Long wait, excellent sandwich. Lots of crunch and good flavors, but not salty. And the pickles, whoa. Finally got my chicken sandwich after 2 weeks of trying. Long lines that backed up into streets, even freeways, getting there hours too early. That’s a great sandwich.“

“On Sunday, November 9th, I visited the restaurant. They offered me the new burger, but I wanted to use the app, though I couldn't. The cashier, Jennifer, was very kind and tried to help, but she wasn't successful either, so she decided to call the manager, Zuquey. Zuquey managed to help me, even though she was very busy cooking. She politely told me she had a lot of orders and it would take a little while, but they would try to get the food out as quickly as possible, and they did. My order was very well done: fresh fries and perfectly cooked, hot burgers. We were very happy with the service and the place. I give the manager a 10/10, the kitchen staff a 10/10, and of course, the cashier a 10/10. Even though there were only three of them, they did a great job. I hope they value these workers, since it seems like the restaurant either doesn't have enough staff or doesn't want to hire more people, which makes it look like labor exploitation. The good thing about all this is that the few people they have are very hardworking, so they should value their employees. Congratulations! My family and I will be back very soon, we were pleased with the service.“

“We been coming to this spot for years and it never fails on flavor, it has great quality but we kept seeing a pattern. This particularly location is reduced in space so we dont recommend dining in if you are more than 4 people if you wish to eat comfortable. When we come here, is usually during dawn and weekends so the lines can go all the way outside, on top of that you need to wait an additional of 20 minutes or more so to avoid this, I highly recommend to order ahead, but none of this removes the amazing quality of the food! This is just some details for those who prefer dine in.“

Also this is just a pick up kitchen, u can’t eat inside. I usually pick up, as I live close by, but sometimes I’ll order delivery.“

I had Tuna with Avacado, no cheese, extra spinach leaves, extra mayonaise, olives & red onion slices.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian sandwich on menu, choosing your own options is more fun.

Dietary restrictions: Calories clearly displayed on menu for each option. Ask about low sodium....

Parking: Plenty of parking depending on time of day.“
