Ended up here on accident and it is easily the best burger I've had in San Diego. De-licious.

Didn't think they were open at first from the front of the building but quickly figured out you go around to sit outside and chill in a big area.

The onion rings are tasty and the portion is definitely enough to share.

Simply the best and always a stop when we visit San Diego. Perfect combos of flavors and crunchy textures. Save room for two.

So, I rolled up To the small seated bar area like usual. As soon as I sat down, 2 fellas to my left said “hey”, casual conversation and nothing happened unusual. I then got on my phone because I saw the bar tender busy doing whatever. No biggy, I thought I’ll wait until he turns around. But then, Two dudes walked up and he immediately takes there order. I thought ok, maybe he didn’t see me no prob. I leaned over and said hey bro, didn’t acknowledge, then said excuse me sir. He then replied “sure” after I asked to order next. No one was after them so I figured it was solved. He then did some other shit. Another guy walked to the bar and he proceeded to take his order. I confronted the bar tender now and said hey, what’s up. I have clearly been sitting here before all of these last few people and you haven’t acknowledged me at all. He then clapped back, “ you need to get in line bro”. What a joker. Can’t believe that actually happened. The guys next to me even looked like they were surprised. Such a shame.

This place is so sick. Fantastic burgers. The guys are really cool. They got good beer.

Only cons: Parking is hard and there are no modifications on burgers.

Parking: Try and park in the prohibited zones OUTSIDE THE TIME WINDOW on the sign.

Staff not friendly at all. The burger tasted gross. Not fresh tasting. Onion rings and fries were just blah. Very confused on all the raving reviews; was very hopeful but turned out to be a bust.
