The food was great...the atmosphere a little questionable. I recommend getting it to go. more

ok, maybe not a secret- but if you are coming to San Diego- you will not find a better burger and shake 2 min walk from the beach. It is a small gem- locals will line up outside, but don't be scared away the line moves quickly. Inside you can choose to eat family style off the surfboard table, or... more

Hodad's is in San Diego in Ocean Beach or OB and is a small burger place that has great burgers. There is a tiny two seater table where you sit inside a car that is neat to sit in if it isn't taken. A lot of people don't know that if you want to order food to go and eat... more

As a fan of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, you know I wasn't missing Hodad's when visiting San Diego! I would say my overall impression was great.

Tried buying t-shirts after eating and it was like pulling teeth to get service. The owner was in and I overheard him saying to one of his employees... "Watch... more

I went to Hodad's on the advice of a foodie friend who saw Guy Fieri raving about the place. What a let-down! Sure the place had local charm with the license plates on the walls and general good-spiritedness of the diners themselves but I just don't get the draw to those hamburgers. I tried the single bacon cheeseburger. It was... more

I've had my fair share of good burgers but this is hands down the BEST I've ever had!! more
