Best burgers on West Coast.

by Atownconnoisseur

You know somethings good if there is a line to get in and you can smell the food all the way down the beach. Hodads is the best place for burgers in Cali. They dont let you leave hungry thats for sure. We flew 2000 miles for this place I highly recommend it!!!!!!!!!

• Pros: huge portions, on the beach, crazy atmosphere
• Cons: pepsi

Great Burgers in a Hole-in-the-Wall

by THill

Hodad's is what everyone says it is: awesome burger joint by the beach. Always packed. Loud and crazy.

I wouldn't go here on a first date, job interview, or anything like that... because it is run-down, maybe a little too laid-back, and very much a "beach bum" hang-out.

But if you don't mind the run-down atmosphere--I personally enjoyed it--then you can't beat their gigantic, delicious burgers and fries.

The employees are hit-and-miss. I was both appalled and delighted by different employees in the same visit.

Prices are what you would expect from a burger joint in Southern California. Somewhere between Denny's and Outback.

I'll always bring people that come to town to visit here. Recommended.

• Pros: Good food, cool atmosphere, by the beach
• Cons: Rude service, hole-in-the-wall

Great burgers, cool so cal vibe

by bpart

We sat at the bar since it was the only place to sit in the whole restaurant. After walking by a few times and seeing a line out the door, we felt lucky to get the bar! The bar tender was very prompt and friendly. I ordered a single cheeseburger that was awesome. I wish I knew the mini burgers (I think that?s what they are called) aren?t sliders ? they are just normal size burgers. The regular burgers (like what I ordered) are huge! Next time I will get a mini. Overall, I?d recommend this place for a casual meal if you don?t mind the potential wait.

• Pros: burgers are very good
• Cons: there might be a wait
