Our Mission...

San Diego has a lot of "burger joints"... restaurants that specialize in burgers. Many of them have claimed (or patrons have claimed) that they have the best burger in San Diego. Our goal here is to find out the truth! Once a month we will venture to a burger joint within San Diego County that has been dubbed (or has dubbed itself) as having "The Best Burger in San Diego." Through a rigourous rating system we have developed, we hope to narrow down the large selection of burger joints to ultimately find...

"The Best Burger in San Diego!"

Burger Lounge

Description:
On the corner of Herschel and Wall Streets in Downtown La Jolla, this burger joint offers a pretty simple menu - burgers! Order a burger, then tell 'em what you want on it. That's about it. You want fries? Sure, but they aren't included with your burger, so make sure you order those too. It's a simple operation going on over there, but it seems to be working since they have another location in Kensington, and a new location just opened up in Coronado. One more, and we may need to categorize this place as a "chain" restaurant. The seating is very limited, mostly outdoors, but if you're lucky to get a table, or a spot at the indoor counter, you'll have fun eating a burger while watching the "La Jollans" strut their stuff down Herschel St. They have a couple local brews on tap, but there is no room for any TVs, so don't plan on watching the game here.

Evaluations:

Brady's Score - 33
Brady's Comments - A very average burger at best. Tasted mostly bun with each bite and certainly the "tall grass" beef is not worth the advertisement it is written on. Personally, I would rather have a 6 dollar burger from Carl's Jr. Onion rings were worth noting.

Eric's Score - 31
Eric's Comments - If you are on that organic, healthy kick, this place is for you. Grass fed burgers are decent, but not exactly what I was craving. Average size left me hungry after dinner, even after the good size of the sides. Had I known that you could order a double patty(not on the menu), I feel like my impression might have been a lot different. I would give it another chance to find out.

Jim's Score - 38
Jim's Comments - A frozen patty but with a lot of taste. I was disappointed with the amount of meat but the bun was great. Very tasty! Nothing special about the toppings but I liked the onions. I was satisfied but felt there could have been more.

Marcos' Score - 41
Marcos' Comments - Considered fast food, this burger exceeds the Holy Grail of fast food - In 'N' Out. I have no idea what "grass fed" means (aren't all cows grass fed?) but the taste of the meat is stellar. If a quick, tasty burger is what you seek, lounge in La Jolla where the burgers rock.
