Sometimes all you need out of a life is thick and juicy burger accompanied by crispy French fries or golden onion rings, and if that need arises while you are in San Diego, Hodad’s, another California chain restaurant that doesn’t taste like chain food, is where you should go. Offering multiple locations throughout San Diego, it has been said that Hodad’s offers the best burgers in the nation, giving another California favorite burger spot cause for worry. Our Penny Realty, Inc staff are known to frequent the different locations, and its casual vibe makes it much loved by our guests traveling with children. Learn more about why Hodad’s is a top spot for burgers in San Diego.
Located in Petco Park and in Downtown San Diego, Open Daily from 11 AM until 9 PM
Although the Petco Park Hodad’s offers a distinctly different vibe, the other locations are very similar to one another, offering sanctuary to surfers since 1969. The name Hodad’s is actually a term used to describe non-surfers who hang out at popular surfing beaches, pretending to be a surfer, and the humor that goes in to their name just proves they have never taken themselves too seriously. Walls adorned with personalized license plates from all over the state, old cars used as private booths, and a large variety of vibrantly colorful community tables work together to create a vibe that is whimsical and fun. The Petco Park Hodad’s, of course, offers ringside seats to our hometown major league baseball team, the San Diego Padres.
The Menu
There’s nothing fancy about Hodad’s menu, unless you consider a large variety of toppings fancy, that is. The burgers are out of this world divine, coming in classic flavors (hamburger, cheeseburgers, and bacon cheeseburgers) and offering unusual themes as well. The Guido Burger adds pastrami, Swiss cheese, and spicy brown mustard, while the Blue Jay is served with bleu cheese sauce and grilled onions. Speaking of onions, the onion rings offered at Hodad’s serve as many as 6 people and will make your onion ring dreams come true.
Now, normally this is where we would wax poetic about the beer and wine selections the restaurant offers, but your California vacation will be one you never forget when you try one of Hodad’s rich, creamy, and oh so delicious shakes! Their strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla shake elevates the Neapolitan ice cream our moms used to buy for us when we were children and with each taste, you will be transported to the golden days of your youth.
