I tried the original worth bacon. It was a good burger could have a had a little more seasoning B. The onion rings were fried to perfection A. The French fries were tasty and the chili cheese took them over the top did not finish B+. The food portions prevented me from eating again that day. I would go back solid B.

An Unforgettable Burger Experience at Nessie Burgers! If you’re looking for the ultimate burger adventure, Nessie Burgers is the place to be! I recently visited with my five best friends—or should I say four, because that’s just how wildly fun and intense our experience was. The vibes were off the charts, and the burgers? Absolutely phenomenal. From the very first bite, it was clear we were in for something special. The flavors were bold, juicy, and perfectly crafted, making each mouthful an explosion of taste. The experience was so intense, one of my friends was so moved that he literally took his hat off mid-bite—a true testament to how mind-blowingly good these burgers are! What truly elevated our visit, though, was the exceptional customer service provided by Ana, Adriana, and Lalo. They are absolutely the best when it comes to making guests feel welcome and recommending the perfect dishes. Their friendly demeanor, attention to detail, and spot-on food suggestions enhanced our dining experience tenfold. Thanks to their guidance, we enjoyed the most flavorful combinations that left us thoroughly satisfied and eager to return. The atmosphere was lively, the staff incredibly friendly—thanks again to Ana, Adriana, and Lalo—and the overall energy of Nessie Burgers made it a day we’ll never forget. If you’re craving a burger experience that’s more than just a meal—something that leaves you in awe—do yourself a favor and head to Nessie Burgers. It’s beyond worth it!

Great Value in the portion of the food to the price. The portions were big and hefty and you can definitely get filled up on just a burger alone. All of the ingredients were fresh, and the burger was packed. It had to have been at least half a pound. They have unlimited drinks. They have a seating area right in front and plenty of parking. They also have clean bathrooms in the back. There is not enough coverage from the Sun on a hot day, except for the table reserved for the employee that has shade. There is also a truck parking. It is right off of the freeway less than 2 minutes away. Would definitely eat there again and try out other options because I saw many other people eating other things than the burger. I definitely look forward to trying out more items on the menu

I really enjoyed the chili cheese fries and 1/2 lb. Nessy burger! If I'm out this way again, I'll definitely stop again!!

A quick stop for Nessy Dog before heading for a hike. The service was good. The patio seating area was nice, not crowded. The staff were friendly and nice to offer extra condiments and slices of pickled cucumbers. They gave 10 % discount to students, guest wearing the Nessy shirt, 55+ senior, military and first responders. The bathroom was clean but needs to get a code to use it. Plenty of parking.

Stopped by and ate a picnic with my hubby and pups in the car. First visit. Yummy, juicy, huge burger with fresh, hot, crispy fries. Really loved the simplicity in f it all- no screens, and automation- just a really good burger stand, run well with really good burgers. Can’t wait to try the milkshakes next time!

Great place to eat with a view right next to the 15fwy. Original burger was good you might need to add a little salt and pepper to the patty but other than that it was a yes for me.

This is the best burger joint in San Diego. The food is too good for the size of their facility. Out door seating only & it fills up quick. Highly recommend, been eating there since they started as a food truck in the ride share parking lot.
