Folks we did a choose three hamburger spots of San Diego and choose Hodads out of a hat of three choices...At first arrival of the outside, we were about to leave... We get inside and from service to food to the atmosphere, my family and I enjoyed the burgers and onion/fries basket, milk shakes and soda.. Locals and visitors, PLEASE try Hodads in Downtown San Diego...I am sure that you will love them burgers like we did!!!
Great food and big portions only down a star because the bathrooms were very dirty
A friend recommended Hodad’s saying that it was the “best burger on earth”. So I came having a really high expectations. I should’ve known better because it wasn’t that. The burger was good enough but for $27 for mini burger, fries, and a drink I would’ve just rather had a cheaper burger somewhere else. Employees were nice.

Hodad's Downtown is a restaurant located in the heart of San Diego, showcasing a unique "skater" retro vibe with stickers and license plates covering the walls. The atmosphere is cool and friendly, featuring attentive staff who offer free stickers and promote their t-shirt selection. The menu includes a range of options like the famous bacon cheeseburger, which many agree is ridiculously good, alongside the Guido burger, a great choice for those seeking pastrami and beef. The restaurant also provides a decent selection of draft beer and vegetarian options such as the veggie burger and meatless burger. Guests often praise the Blue Jay burger and onion rings, describing them as great and crave-worthy. Portions are large and satisfying, with crispy fries and onion rings served in generous amounts. The lively environment has a fun, loud vibe with cool music, including late 70s tunes and punk rock, adding to the overall experience. Service is fast and upbeat, even when busy. Some visitors note that the music can be a bit too loud, but overall, the food is amazing and the prices, though seeming high, are justified by the generous servings. Hodad's Downtown is a must-visit for burger lovers, offering amazing burgers and microbrews that are out of this world good. Guests can enjoy sides like half and half onion ring and potato wedge fries, and don't forget to order a chocolate shake, which is served in a mixing cup with a spoon and straw. The restaurant promises a memorable dining experience that keeps guests coming back.
