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!"

Description:
From the website, it may look like a "tough guys" bar, but this burger joint (they even call themselves this), is a great place to enjoy a burger before a Padres game, after a game, or anytime you feel the urge for some delicious beef! We met the owner while we consumed and rated, and he (as well as the other waitstaff) were genuinely nice and wanted us to have a good time! Located in the Gaslamp District of downtown San Diego, this burger joint has a decent selection of burgers (their primary menu selections), a big bar serving all the booze your heart desires, and several flat-panel TVs that can satisfy a sport enthusiast's viewing pleasure.

Brady's Comments - If you are looking for a solid, tasty burger in downtown San Diego, come here. Casual bar atmosphere with unpretentious patrons. It's a big eaters delight and you won't leave hungry. Only drawback is frozen beef patties and too much thousand island dressing, but anytime the owner comes over and buys a round for your party, you gotta love it. Good fries with the Bacavo Burger.

Eric's Comments - I had the Jalapeno Burger and was very satisfied, even after the hype from 2 different waitresses. The price is just right($10 burger/fries/beer special on game days) and the atmosphere is good. A very good sports bar with exceptional food makes this restaurant a hit in my book. A great selection of draft beer and alcohol will satisfy anyone's appetiite!

Jim's Score - 41
Jim's Comments - I judged this one tough. I thought the Bad Ass Burger was good but just not excellent. First, it was a frozen patty, which I don't like at all. It tasted like a Costco patty. The service was good, love the extra free shots, but they were probably because they knew we were grading them.

Marcos' Score - 44
Marcos' Comments - I don't know if it's the corner booth or the picture of the Rat Pack that Olson busted, but I feel like I'm part of the original Rat Pack tonight. "Would you like a free shot, would you like a free shirt?" The experience is an A+ with sports on every TV, girls in short skirts, and a delicious Nicky Rotten Burger & fries for an affordable price. It was a very good year!!
