Hodads Restaurant
 

Description

The word "Hodad" is a slang term used to describe a surfer "wanna-be." A hodad may own a surfboard and may even haul that board to the beach, yet never actually surfs. This joint has character, surfing character, with surfing memorabilia covering the walls and a jukebox playing appropriate tunes. Guests experience a surf dream world at this Ocean Beach establishment. For an extra treat, try sitting in the booth constructed from the front of a VW bus. Now THIS is Southern California!

Great beach burgers
By ,
I don't know where they get the onions, but do not make the mistake of taking them off. They are really sweet.

The BEST hamburgers in San Diego. End of story. Rocky's makes an OK sandwich, but these are really the real deal. The best, the best, the BEST! Real: Sliced onions, tomatoes and iceburg lettuce. Handformed patties of delicious meat. Go there and get some!

Poor service
By ,
We stood in line waiting for 20 minutes to get a place to sit. About a third of the tables were empty and covered with remnants of previous customers. The staff continually walked by the empty tables but no one bothered to clean off the tables. After the 20 minute wait we left and went to Fuddrucker's in Mission Valley where we got excellent service and a great burger.

it doesn't get any better than this
By ,
the best place for burgers i've been to bar none. The burgers and food are great, really fantastic but that's only a small part of the appeal of the place. You can come in off the beach with your boardies on, covered in sand and feel at ease (stash your board behind the door), have some food, chill and just absorb the vibe from this place. Like i said, it doesn't get any better....
