Hodad’s
Hodad’s has been recognized as one of the top 5 burger joints in the country by CNN with Hodad’s being the only west coast restaurant to get recognized. In 1969, Byron and Virginia Hardin began serving the world’s best burgers. Hodad’s first location was located on the beach at the end of Santa Monica Ave. in Ocean Beach. In 1991, after several moves, Hodad’s opened at its present location in the heart of Ocean Beach’s Newport Ave. In 2011 we opened our second location in beautiful downtown San Diego. Hodad’s is now owned by second generation Burgermeister Mike “Boss Man” Hardin and long time friend Teri Rhodes.

We do a semi-smash. Angus chuck goes onto hot steel and gets pressed — enough to build a dark, crisp edge, not so much that it turns into a chip. The patty stays thicker and juicier than a full smash. American cheese, iceberg, Roma tomato, grilled onion, and a 1000 Island we make here. Nothing is cooked before you order it. No holding drawer, no heat lamp. That's why it takes a few minutes, and it's why it tastes the way it does. The sauces are where we have fun — spicy ketchup made with fresh habaneros, chopped chile and chile güero on anything you want them on. The fries are russets, cut fresh and double-fried every day. Ask for them Jimi style: cheese, grilled onion and 1000 Island over the top. The menu is short on purpose. We'd rather do a few things properly.
Hodad's
This addition to the San Diego downtown dining scene has its roots in the surfer culture of Ocean Beach, where the permissive parent restaurant has gathered legions of fans. Now, near Padre Park, Hodad's hopes to grow up a little without growing old. Burgers of the biggest, greasiest, most utterly satisfying kind are still the rule here, with a choice of fries or onion rings to accompany them. The atmosphere is nearly as frenetic as the beach town location, which has been featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives show, but will the juice-down-the-shirt succulence survive complaints by the suit and tie set? Better eat there now. Open till 10 pm every night in summer.
