Hodad's Ocean BeachB+

5010 Newport Ave, San Diego, CA 92107 · Hamburger restaurant, Brewery · Ocean Beach

Iconic OB burger spot with huge portions, beachy vibes, and friendly service; expect waits, messy stacked burgers, and prices in line with its Ocean Beach location.

The verdict

Hodad's Ocean Beach delivers solid casual dining through strong food quality with juicy burgers and generous portions, supported by friendly, attentive service and appealing beachside location. However, inconsistent execution and cramped seating prevent higher distinction. The iconic OB vibe and loyal following make it a worthwhile neighborhood burger stop, though not among the region's premier dining destinations.

One caveat: Parking is limited; expect to pay or walk from farther away
