If you are in San Diego during a Bama Game, this is the place to be. Great atmosphere.
We seriously have to talk about this burger. Holy cow was this place so good! For the price it was unbeatable. Fries were great and I definitely recommend some honey mustard. But man that burger was phenomenal I’m still thinking about it 5 days later. I love the vibe and the atmosphere. It’s small and we had to wait to get a table but it was worth it. Hard to beat
Nice place to chill, get a drink and some food.

Based on the reviews, The Smoking Gun is a fun and laid-back spot with a solid vibe. The best burger value in San Diego is found here, with the Butter Burger being a great deal at regular price and a steal at $8 during happy hour. The salted and buttered bun is fantastic, and the patties are excellent quality and expertly seasoned. Other menu items include fried pickles, a corn skillet, a root beer float, a delicious salad with tasty chicken, the Mahi sandwich, and great tater tots. The drinks are yummy and refreshing, though some reviews mention the drink sizes could be better for the price, and game pricing can feel a little steep. The service is awesome, with friendly staff and attentive bartenders. The place has a bunch of TVs playing different games, a pool table, basketball, air hockey, and several arcade games. There is also a lot of Forrest Gump memorabilia. With great energy and a cool, laid-back atmosphere, it is a really fun spot to hang out, and happy hour is highly recommended.
