This is my new favorite North County burger spot. The Cosmos Burger is as close to a perfect burger as it gets. The two patties were perfectly grilled and so tender, flavorful, and juicy. They nailed the caramelized onions and blew me away with their Cosmos sauce, which was like an elevated In-n-Out spread with hints of garlic. Highly, highly recommend!

This simple smashburger blew me away! You can taste the difference with their high quality ingredients, and I was impressed by its size. I also loved the crispy edges of the patties.

Ty’s Burger House in Oceanside is my new favorite North County burger spot! The Western Bacon Cheeseburger had my name on it; it’s my go-to burger. I love a thick, juicy patty and they delivered. The burger was smothered in BBQ sauce and the onions were fried to perfection. I’m not the biggest shoestring fry fan but the seasoning made up for it. Highly recommend!

Tanner’s Prime Burgers is all about high-quality ingredients and delicious smash burgers! Their Prime Single Burger satisfied my cravings; I couldn’t get enough of the caramelized onions and burger sauce. The fries were perfectly crispy and well-seasoned and the lemonade was so refreshing! The Fatty Patty was the best dessert to round out this filling meal.

I saw Encinitas’ Eat Crispy Burger on a “best burgers in San Diego County” list so I had to try! Their smash burgers are simple yet delicious. The OG Burger came with caramelized onions and thousand island sauce, which was very similar to In-n-Out’s. I recommend getting a double cheeseburger.

This is a high-quality, no-frills burger! The highlight was their Copper Sauce, which was like an elevated In-n-Out sauce.

I love a good smokehouse burger. The highlight was the bacon and I’d definitely come back for this burger!

We love the vibes at CoLab Public House. It’s home to three breweries, one winery, and a burger spot! I tried the She’s Smokin burger at Baby’s and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m a sucker for any burger with bacon, BBQ sauce, and crispy onions. The highlight was the fatty and crispy bacon—just how I like it! I was amazed by the thickness of the patty, just wish it were a little juicier.
