Don't expect any non-fat California-liberal avocado-shiitake-with-imported-Swiss tofu-cheeseburger nonsense -- no sirree. No pretentious cutesy faux diner decor, nor blended drinks with catchy names can be found in this place: It's a dive bar (albeit a clean one) with a killer kitchen. You get burgers made from freshly ground beef and topped with cheese (white or orange, you pick) and grilled onions, and accompanied by mounds of fries and cold beer. Freebies include genuine smiles from the staff, genuine concern for your satisfaction, truly interesting people-watching and a refreshing respite from corporate dining hype.

Not a kids' place, Rocky's is first and foremost a pub. While the bar serves 'til midnight, the grill shuts down by 10PM (with last order a half-hour earlier), but keep in mind that groveling has been known on occasion to get you a burger after 10:15PM. The fake-ID crowd should take note: While Rocky's has a casual and super-friendly vibe, don't expect to get an alcoholic beverage plunked down with your burger unless you're over 21. Business here is conducted old-school style: cash only.

    I see a lot of people saying that this is the best burger in San Diego. I travel for a living and have found this to be the best burger anywhere. It takes about a half an hour to get your burger after ordering but it usually takes you that long to get a seat. I find that it adds to the excitement to start wondering if you're going to get a seat or not but you always do. I come in from NY and never leave town without at least one visit. You will be well satisfied.

  • Rocky's Burger

    Review rating : 5out of 5   Mjjinca - 06/27/2008

    Rocky's is by far the best burger in San Diego. The place is simple you got burgers fries and beer. Its small and people are nice. Its always packed so time it right or you will be standing. Its a local spot so if you dont know then I guess you dont know. I have friends from out of town that visit and besides gettin the normal mexican food they want a Rocky's burger. The place does its job well.

    A Saturday morning with Div and Joe; catching an insult, listen to the newbees insult the Johnny Cash background music; watching the Big East Football, enjoying a rare burger, take the burger out of the red basket, place the fries under the burger as you eat and ask Joe what type of horseradish sauce is he holding behind the bar. Wash it down with a draft and watch the late comers, watch your every move to see if you are leaving the stool. Better service tell the bald guy you are a Yankee fan.. Walk out stuffed, graciously insulted, and a small buzz....Living in Manhattan and I miss starting my Saturday Right. ........(btw editors, step in here, this contest isn't a popularity contest, it is a burger contest to remotely compare Rocky's and In and Out is an insult to the community of burger lovers

    I've lived in San Diego for years and lived just down the street from Rocky's. No doubt about it it's the best hamburger i've ever had and the pub is one of the friendliest including the bartenders. I've now moved to New jersey and sure do miss Rocky's both the pub and the best hamburgerr around
