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!"

Danny's Palm Bar & Grill



Description:

If you happen to be venturing down Orange Street in Coronado, keep an eye out for a small black awning labeled "Danny's Palm Bar & Grill". It's hard to find if you don't know where it is exactly, like many small restaurants in Coronado. This "hole-in-the-wall" is definitely considered a locals bar featuring a narrow (but long) bar, a few tables in the rear, a jukebox, and a pool table. It's simple, it's local, and the menu items are typical bar food. Stay long enough and a motorcycle gang might walk through the squeeky hinged saloon style bar doors. This place often makes an appearance on the "Best of Coronado" lists, so we figured it was worth the trip over the bridge to taste their burgers. Here's how we rated it...

Evaluations:

Brady's Score - 43
Brady's Comments - A little too much burger as I ordered the full lb. Hot Gun burger. It was very tasty and I finished the monstrosity, however I would not recommend the full lb. burger for everyone. Messy burger, good fries, solid experience. Nice touch with the complimentary chips n' salsa.

Eric's Score - 41
Eric's Comments - After deciding to order the Awesome Grand Slam, which is a monstrous lb of beef, it goes without saying that Danny's is sure to satisfy even the most gluttonous patrons. The patties were smokin' hot and super tasty. Absolutely stellar burger not to disappoint, even if the burger juice did make the bun a bit soggy.

Jim's Score - 45
Jim's Comments - I love that the burger size is measured post cooking. So if you order a 1/2 lb burger, that's the size when it gets to the table. The Ranger burger had very "delish" meat - cooked perfectly for my taste and she didn't need to ask how I like it. I think this place is great for a burger if you happen to be in Coronado. There's also something about a waitress that can list all the beers on tap without looking.

Marcos' Score -44
Marcos' Comments - I am surprised my taste buds are this responsive in the chill. My lips are blue, my teeth are chattering, and I am in full on shrinkage mode. That being said, a delicious Helo burger, nicely seasoned beef and it makes up for the less than "warm atmosphere".
