Cool neighborhood spot, menu was pretty straightforward. Pretty simple menu which was ok but was a little pricey for what it is in my opinion.

This is controversial but I think this is my favorite burger in SD! After living here for over two years and everyone saying we needed to go, we came today. We were greeted by the nicest staff and the food was super quick! The star of the show is the burger- it was so fresh, great lettuce (I know this sounds odd but I prefer crispy lettuce) and the buns were super fresh. Simple and awesome- highly recommend! Grab a beer and sit outside for the perfect moment.

If you're looking for a fantastic burger spot in San Diego, I highly recommend Hayes Burgers. They specialize in smash patty burgers, and they do them right--crispy edges, juicy centers, and packed with flavor. Some of their creations give off an In-N-Out animal-style vibe, especially the Jimi Fries, which come loaded with grilled onions, cheese, and Thousand Island dressing. The spot has a cool, hipster feel with a young, laid-back crowd. Seating is pretty limited--just a few spots inside and a small patio that's basically on the sidewalk--so it feels more like a place to grab your burger to go since all the seats might be taken. It's counter service only, so there are no waiters--just order at the counter and wait for your food. Prices are reasonable, and it's just a short distance from the vibrant murals near Chicano Park, making it a great stop if you're in the area. Just keep in mind that parking is street parking only, so depending on the time of day, you might have to walk a bit. If you love a great burger, put this place on your list. You won't be disappointed!

After hearing about Hayes Burger from multiple sources and seeing it on social media, it was on my list of places to try out for a while. Finally got a chance to try it with some friends! - PARKING - Street parking only it seems like, but plenty of spaces up and down the street! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - The business itself is not very large, with only one table for 4 inside and some bar seating against the wall. There are a few seats outside, but not too many. Seems like most people take their food to-go. - FOOD - Hamburger: I usually order hamburgers so decided to go with the plain order for our first try. I definitely think it could've used more sauce, as I found myself wanting to dip the burger in their Spicy Ketchup (which was honestly the star of the show here). Decent flavor, but also found myself feeling peckish after. French Fries: Really tasty fresh cut fries. I love it when fries have the potato skin on them because you know they're fresher. Again, loved the Spicy Ketchup with these. - OVERALL - Personally it's not a top burger spot for me, but I can see why it's a neighborhood gem and beloved spot.

A good burger spot a couple steps away from Chicano park. I thought I was going to be blown away by this burger but it isn't anything out of the ordinary. The service was quick and the worker was very nice. There's only street parking as well as 1 table inside and a couple tables outside. This spot is basically in n out but smashed burger style lol just without the wait time and cheap prices. I ordered the double cheeseburger with raw onions and the spicy jimi fries. I'm usually not a huge fan of smash burgers because they tend to be too greasy for my liking but this burger wasn't so I was content, as for the spicy fries they were not spicy so if you're sensitive to spice you should be good. I even ordered the food to go instead of eating outside since the table inside was taken and it was pretty windy that day so I wasn't gonna sit outside; and to my surprise the bun was not soggy and the fries retained their crispiness thru my 8 minute drive. I would definitely come back if I was in the area but only if I was craving smashed patties. In all honesty I don't mind waiting for in n out burger.

So came here for the first time I had heard about it and wanted to give it a shot very good burger I mean it was delicious very very much like in and out burger but in a way juicier and meteor but very comparable a little more expensive than in and out for the burger and fries it was $20 so a little pricey but a very good burger service was great would I go back absolutely if you're in the area definitely give it a try if you're in the mood for a burger you will not be disappointed

Was recommended to try this place & ordered it for delivery - wow! This was a well made burger & had great fries too. Since it was delivered, I was unsure how well it would hold up, but it actually did very nicely! I added on the "spicy ketchup" but it just tasted like regular ketchup to me... not sure if that was an accident or if it was too mild to notice My burger was a double cheeseburger + pickles + chopped chilis. The patty is thicker than In-N-Out, so it was a thick burger overall. I wanted to try the bun, since it was my 1st time (verdict: delicious), but I would be happy with protein style.

Finally made it to the original! It was pretty hot outside so we just got food to go. I like the interior of this one better because it seems much more organic and down to earth. He: Double cheeseburger, yes? Dang, how did he know? I also had to have the Jimi fries. Burgers were so dang tasty! The workers were all pretty chill which is great! Simple menu so no reason to peruse. Just order a double cheeseburger! There's some small tables out in front, but lots of people today. There's also some great artwork in the lot next door. Definitely worth coming to! Cako Approves! (Even though we didn't eat there)

Another new favorite and they aren't too far from me!! Yes, you'll hear the burgers resemble a popular chain, but that's where it ends. These burgers are seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The bun is a good size, soft, yet holds up to the job! The ingredients were fresh. Oh! And do not forget the fries. Hands down the best fries from a burger place. No lie! Try with the spicy ketchup, but I barely dipped as these babies were perfect as is!! If trying to avoid gluten get your burger lettuce wrapped. Can't wait to go back! (They carry swell soda too!!!)
