Hodad's Downtown

The burgers , obvi. Such great beef patties and good rolls matched to icy cold fresh condiments and lettuce-tomato-onion-pickle on top. The fries are bigger than my fingers-mix the Cajun sauce w ranch

Little grimes, but don't judge a book by the cover on this one. Solid burgers . Whatever you do, get bacon on it. They deep fry it and then grill it into a patty. Also get your onion grilled - Bangin

Unfold one flap of the wrap around the burger so that all the awesome, fatty grease drips down into your fries or onion rings . Of course don't forget to eat over your basket or it will be in your lap

None Better. Best eaten there, or soon after talking to go; they put so much veggies in burger , wrapped up, the bun gets soggy quickly. The Bluejay burger (a LOT of blue cheese ) is heaven.

The best things here are the onion rings . They are superb. I’d come back just for the onion rings . Didn’t love the guido (patty overpowered the pastrami ) or the blue jay, though I preferred the blue.

Servings are huge. Fries are not gluten free . They did a nice lettuce wrap for my burger . Staff is friendly . Prices are very reasonable. Shakes are more like ice cream than a shake .

Before trying your first hodad's burger , please go to their first location. Maybe it's the vibe???? but an experience worth going back.. Downtown location, burgers ???? shakes ????????????????????????

Love the original location the most but, this is a good alternative for downtown! You can never go wrong with this burger ! Price and quality all there, all the time!

Can’t go wrong with one of their ginormous burgers and house beers . I prefer the burger without onion .

The napoleon shake is really great and also the double cheese burger but make sure that you have a lot of napkins next to you ????

I really enjoyed this place. I have to say the long line was well worth it. Best burger I've ever had.

Hamburger is HUGE! Very good option for a local burger . Service was really good and I really liked the potatoes . Beer comes in a jar mug!

These are the very best onion rings ! Not soggy. The onion stays put in the ring when you bite down. And the single bacon cheese burger is the BOMB.

Guido burger and local IPA ???????? One of the best burgers I ever had. I loved this city and its craft burgers & beers ..

Pretty good burgers , nothing amazing. The reviews here all seem accurate, except the burgers themselves aren't huge. It's the toppings that make them really tall. The Neapolitan shake was great

The bacon cheeseburgers here are top-notch, as are the gigantic shakes , served with an extra scoop of ice cream right on top.

Single bacon cheeseburger is absolutely delicious! Get it with fries or onion rings and ask for ranch.

One of the best places for burgers and beer , but good luck finding parking during peak downtown hours.

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Make sure to get bacon ???? on your burger ; it’s fried (and super delicious!)

Great burger , even better shake . And those onion rings .... Be warned, the portions are huge!!

I think this is the best burger in San Diego.... Constantly crave it! Regular w cheese or the guido. And the shakes are HUGE (and delicious!)

This restaurant is awesome. Love the location and love the food. I ordered and ate the double bacon cheeseburger . Mouthwatering amazing!!

Amazing Burger ???? place and all of the other foods are really amazing to the staff is awesome ???????? off the hook ????????????????????????

Best bacon cheeseburger ever created. Crunchy deliciousness in each bite! Get the mini if you don't want to over stuff yourself.

Consider taking a few pieces of onion off your burger before attempting to eat. It will shrink the burger in size, make the process of eating easier and have less impact on your breath afterwards.

Order the Guido burger ! Great flavor, burger has pastrami , grilled onions & brown spicy mustard along with the usual items. It won't disappoint!! Yum!

Burgers are really good. The single is just enough for anyone.

The burgers here are a major disappointment. They were dry and not juicy whatsoever. They paled in comparison to NY's Shake Shack burgers . And a "small fries " is huge! It's enough to feed 4 ppl.

Best burger ever. So juicy and messy but totally worth the mess. Bring your appetite when you come here.

I'm just not sure if there's a better burger . I like the one with the blue cheese and grilled onions with a side of onion rings . No diets here!

Great vibe, great service. I can’t imagine anyone needs a burger bigger than a “mini.” Super affordable .

Rarely a wait & just as good as OB. The half-order of Frings will be enough for 4 people.

Added two new additions to their vaunted menu (the pastrami-topped "Guido's Burger " and blue-cheesed "Bluejay"), to take down in a heart-of-downtown space. Read more

Insane burgers . Great shakes . Awesome onion rings . Great staff .

Totally missed this place. The double bacon cheeseburger is the best I've ever had by far.

Onion rings are awesome !! Cheapest and delicious hamburger place in SD ????

Guido burger is awesome! Double bacon cheeseburger is also great, it's huge tho... Get the frings!

Burgers are juicy and delicious. Fries are wedges....definitely a place to check out!

The bacon cheese burger was the bomb dot com

Awesome pastrami burger with huge serving if fries

Huge burgers ! ????

Awesome pastrami burger with huge serving of fries

Ok, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The mini bacon cheeseburger was perfect for me & the service was speedy. Would definitely come back.

They have the best burgers an never skimp on the toppings... Gonna need a lot of napkins! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Awesome pastrami burger with huge serving of fries .

Only one word... WONDERFUL!!! One p the best sandwich I have ever eaten!! Must try! Price range 5-12$

The Neapolitan hits the spot each and every time!

Do yourself a favor and believe the other tipsters: the burgers are MASSIVE! Tackling a double is not for the faint of heart. Also, don't attempt a full Frings unless you have at least 4 people.

The shakes are amazing! They are huge so you can share it with someone else.
