Hodad's Ocean Beach
Hodad's
A historic local burger joint in Ocean Beach, famous for its massive bacon cheeseburgers and long lines during peak hours.
Located on Newport Avenue in Ocean Beach, just steps from the sand, this spot features a quirky and casual interior. The signature bacon cheeseburger is massive, with the double-decker version being almost too tall to bite into. They emphasize fresh, never-frozen beef, and even their mini burgers are quite large. Locals favor the "Blue Jay," which features blue cheese sauce. Lines often stretch out the door at lunchtime, but it is easier to get a seat around 17:00 before the dinner rush begins. A bacon cheeseburger is about $17.50, and online ordering is for takeout only.
