Hodad's Downtown

David Martinez 3 weeks ago

I'd been waiting for Hodad's for a while, so I went to the downtown restaurant thinking it would have less patrons (correct thinking). I got the Cheeseburger and Fries, and both were really good - the only contention I have is there were too many pickles in on the burger, so it took away a lot of the taste of the burger, so I just pulled them out (no biggie). Overall, really good!

A very cool burger joint that is channelling the surfer beach vibes to the city. The burgers are very large, our family was waylaid by the size of the portions. The fries/ring combo is recommended; all the food here is very well made and this combo shows off the impressive skills in the kitchen. The burgers are worth driving across town to eat. It is weird when reviewing places when trying to gauge the 'atmosphere'. This place does not have 'atmosphere', which doesn't quite describe Hodad's. This place has 'character'. It you are looking for atmosphere, this place only has plywood boothes covered in stickers while the rainbow of rock from swamp and blues to progressive and psychedelic is playing. Worth a visit.

Hodad’s Downtown is consistently great. The burgers, fries, onion rings, etc are always delicious. My order is taken quickly and my food arrives soon after. I’m a hearty eater and I struggle to finish eating my meal. The portions are generous. A word of warning, the double burgers are simply huge. Maybe as tall as a beer bottle. Great selection of beers as well. UPDATE: This is gonna sound crazy but if you enjoy Tuna Melts, you have to give the one here a try. Best Tuna Melt I've ever had! I also can recommend the chili.

I had been to Godard’s before and their burgers and really good. Best shake I’ve had in my life to this day! Love that the downtown location is a lot easier to find seating and parking and a lot less busy than the OB location. This was my first time to the Dt location. I was really craving onion rings and they did not disappoint. They’re really generous with their sauces. The BBQ sauce here is better than the BBQ place I had just had lunch at. Their ranch is really good too. If you like a big onion ring with a good breading to onion ratio I recommend them. Serving size is really generous too. As with most DT locations lots of unhoused folks around. There was rowdy crowds chanting really loudly outside too. Not great for families but doable. More of a young, college, hip, casual spot. Other than that you should check it out if you’re in the area and craving a great burger! Get a shake you’ll thank me later!

We saw that this place was listed as a recommended place by Food Network. Although it was hard to find parking and expensive to park in a parking lot, this place was definitely worth the trip. The ambience of the place was fun and the workers were casual. Our server was great. I ordered a single burger and my fiancé ordered a double with bacon both burgers or massive. We also ordered onion rings. It goes without saying it took us forever to make our way through our burgers, but we had so much fun doing it and trying the different beers on tab. The beef was fresh and everything was amazing if your burger lover I highly recommend this as a regular stop.
