With four types of patties, 12 types of cheese, 33 toppings, 21 sauces and six types of bun, exactly 312,120 different burgers combos are possible. (House-made guac and tangy tzatziki are two faves.)

Burgers & sweet potato fries were great & a great value for this uber-posh shopping center. Chipotle aioli is full of win!

Check-In on Facebook for deals on their menu items. All their "well" liquor is great & cheap!

To all the people bitching about the service you neglect to mention how busy this place is our the fact that they had JUST opened. But what can you expect from people in Del Mar the land of entitlment

If you're watching calories, you can't go wrong with your burger on top of greens instead of a bun.

This place us great - just don't plan on using the bathroom more than once. Hard to get access if you are here with a big group for more than an hour.

agreed on poor service. I've been here twice and both times they've brought me the wrong items/sauces. I'd be more forgiving if the burgers were worth it, but they're not even that good.

If you are wondering how to lock the bathroom door, pull up on the handle. :+)

Waited a long time for a raw sliders, than waiter went poof and waited longer to report problem, but then decided to go somewhere else as we saw most waiting. Taste good, service no good.

Ordered off kids menu for smaller sized meal & was hit w/extra $3 charge. Also, substituted sweet potaotes & charged full price $4.50. Lame

Food was great but our waiter was AWFUL. Wrong check, wrong orders, threw stuff at us and grabbed things from us. Tried to charge us for stuff we didn't order. Overall horrendous attitude.

Not my favorite place to grab a burger; a bit pricey and my overall experience was just below average.
