For all you hamburger lovers:
These are my favorite burger joints in San Diego (not in any particular order). Eat a hamburger from one of these places and you will never want another fast food or frozen restaurant burger again.
- In-N-Out (located throughout the city). This place is simple, only selling burgers, fries, and shakes. They also keep it simple by taking cash only. This is the king of fast food burger joints. If you visit San Diego on your next vacation this is a must.
- Rocky’s Crown Pub (Pacific Beach, San Diego) - Do not get picky with your order here at this neighborhood bar. Menu items are kept simple, you order a hamburger or cheeseburger with or without fries. They cook basic burgers, no fancy ingredients. Buy a cold beer here to wash it down.
- Hodads (Ocean Beach San Diego) - If you have ever been on Newport in OB than you have seen Hodads. It is a small place wallpapered with license plates. If you love bacon this is the best bacon burger in town. Instead of adding a few slices, they stew the bacon, cook it into a patty, and add it to your burger.
- Waterfront Bar & Grill (downtown San Diego) - This a small bar located in Little Italy in downtown San Diego. This place makes a great burger and has a really laid back atmosphere.
- Classics Malt Shop - (Midway Drive San Diego) Like burger joints with a 50’s diner feel? This is the place to be. They offer burgers, malts, and more. Come every Friday night as the parking lot turns into a mini classic car show.
- Phils BBQ (Sports Arena San Diego) - Phils makes their own ground beef and cooks over an open flame. I personally never eat the burger there because their ribs are top notch. If you do not want BBQ sauce on it, let them know because it comes with it.

We let the downtown development people rename the area around Petco Park the “East Village” without batting an eye. It’s a cool name, I suppose, but the area still has a lot of catching up to do before it even comes close to comparing to its Manhattan counterpart.
A good step in the coolification of the […]

Pizza snobs often complain that you can’t get good pizza in California, but we are very fortunate to have several East Coast ex-pats who have moved to sunny San Diego and brought their secret thin-crust pizza recipes with them.
The most famous of these pizza joints is Bronx Pizza, which has built up a cult-like following in San Diego. In the 10+ years since Bronx has opened, lots of New York-style pizza places have opened - some by former Bronx Pizza employees.
Now that Bronx Pizza is not the only pie in town, we decided to do a blind taste test of NY-style pizzas. We bought a pizza from San Diego’s finest pizza places, and saw how they stacked up. We visited only NY-style pizza places (so no complaints about missing Fillipi’s, Pizza Port, Woodstock’s, Lefty’s, Oggi’s, etc, but do let us know if we’ve missed any other good NY-style pizza […]
