Kellys 4-Sterne-Beitrag: Kind of expensive? Yeah... but oh so good. Usually my man and I get take out because we don't like dealing with the crowds. The best way is to do things family style!!! My family comes here for special occasion dinners and we always have a great experience. Our family of 6 ordered: Full Beefy Rib Dinner with corn (cut in thirds), Full Baby Back Rib Dinner with corn (cut in thirds), 1 extra Beefy Rib, Chickless dinner with Beans, Chick Tickler (to share), Large Onion Rings. Each of us was able to have 1 beefy rib, 2 baby back ribs, a few pieces of chicken, 1/3 corn and then share everything else. It worked out great! Came out to be $82 with tip, so that's less than $14 each for food only. We did order wine & beer, but we got them while we were waiting in line, so drinks aren't part of the total. My standard order is a Chickless dinner with steamed veggies. I also like the El Toro Tri Tip sandwich. My man & I get a small order of onion rings to share. Seriously, you MUST GET THE ONION RINGS. Some of the best I've ever had. The tickler dinners are a great way to go as well since you can have a few of their AWESOME onion rings but I don't get the Ticklers because I'm just not a fan of cole slaw. As far as the other sides, the sweet baked beans are good (a little peppery) and corn is excellent (you can ask for it to be cut in half or thirds). The potato salad and macaroni salad are just okay in my opinion. The staff here is always very helpful. Be sure to ask for extra sides of ranch and BBQ sauce. There isn't a bottle of BBQ sauce on the table like other places and I'm guessing that's because it gets stolen. You can buy the BBQ sauce if you want and it's available at Costco in a 2-pack. To sum up: Is it the best BBQ I've ever had? No, probably not. But it's some of the best in San Diego and a great small business that has been growing like crazy! I definitely crave their onion rings, beefy ribs and chicken in BBQ sauce. YUM!!! -
Kellys 4-Sterne-Beitrag: I've been coming to this location since they opened 20 years ago and never had a bad experience. This is a large restaurant with the bar on a raised level in the back. All of the seating is booths, making it nice, cozy and good for conversation. Never seems to get crazy loud in here, which is really nice. Service is always spot on with plenty of food runners to bring out food and keep drinks full. Actually, they don't even bother refilling drinks--they bring new full glasses (actually plastic handled mugs) of water, iced tea, etc. FOOD: My standard order is the Yaki Soft Tacos (teriyaki chicken) or the Hawaiian Burger. Fries are good even though I'm not usually a fan of skin-on fries. The regular onion rings are really good and solid--not flimsy or falling apart at all. I haven't tried the Island Reds. If you're in the mood for dessert, the Kona Pie is really good. Drinks can be a bit pricey here... I'm always a bit cautious when there aren't prices on the drink menu. I guess I need to try them for Happy Hour! -
Kellys 5-Sterne-Beitrag: I've been here a few more times and have to upgrade to 5 stars. The burgers are soooo fresh and tasty. There is often a wait if you want to dine in since there aren't many seats, but we've always been able to find a spot for 2. The staff is always very polite and easy going even though they are working in such a small space. The parking can be kinda tough, but I love walking around downtown La Jolla afterwards. I definitely find myself wanting Burger Lounge before Smashburger, In-N-Out or Five Guys.... it's a step above all of them! Last time I was feeling the need to be "healthy", so I tried the turkey burger. Seriously, the BEST TURKEY BURGER of my life. It was so juicy and fresh and I loved it. My fiance had a bite and he was impressed even though he's not a turkey burger guy. I did throw off the whole healthy thing by ordering onion rings... but they are AMAZING too! The root beer floats are really good too with high quality root beer and ice cream. Keep up the great work Burger Lounge! -
Kellys 5-Sterne-Beitrag: STILL AWESOME!!! We had a 20 minute wait on a Saturday night at 7pm... but we figured that into our plan, so it wasn't a big deal. They have a huge menu and the Huber Keller Burger is amazing, but didn't really need the extra fried egg on top. I like that they have an open kitchen... no one can spit in your food! I noticed the long bar would be a good place for dining solo. Only drawback is that it's a trek to the bathroom... but awesome food and a great time with our friends in the booth. We liked trying all he different varieties of fries... my favorites were the sweet potato & zucchini fries. I will be back to Burger Bar every time I go to Vegas! Vegas Trip 10/20-23/11 -
Kellys 5-Sterne-Beitrag: Tasty burgers & onion rings! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/igiOJQmfe36JxVGrlAwsIA?select=O6qs8ehjlya7AmGvrH1Vtg Junior burger was the size of a McDonalads cheeseburger = just right. Personally I didn't need a huge burger and happy to see that I could get something small to go with my onion rings. Burger had some char to it but tasted very good. Comes with ketchup, mayo, lettuce, tomato & onions. I had them omit the tomatoes (personal preference) and really liked it with the ketchup & mayo. My man isn't a mayo fan, but likes it on Burger Time's burgers with ketchup too. Tempura-style battered onion rings were really tasty & plenty in an order. I was really scarfing them down! My man's chocolate shake was really good! Served in a plastic cup & we can definitely tell its made with real ice cream. Fun to see that there are 2 sides to the drive thru.... Really friendly service & they got our order just right. I would definitely come back here if I was in the area again. -
Kellys 5-Sterne-Beitrag: We came in here late on a Monday night in December because it is one of the only places open for dinner after 10pm in Burnsville. There was a delay in Monday night football, so it was still going at 10:30pm. We sat near the big screen and got great service. Our waitress was friendly without being fake. Must be Minnesota Nice! She was also great about keeping my diet coke & water full since I drink a lot. We were starving so we got the Chips appetizer and a half order was plenty for two. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/OMBbGWMgWfiPSqV3mT2p8w?select=MbTMQ-sV9BpJDyPfrbt3WA $5.99 burgers on Mondays! I got the Carolina burger which is new. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/OMBbGWMgWfiPSqV3mT2p8w?select=l_-ZIKQ8uAXk1y7jVJnTVg It has cheddar, BBQ sauce, onion strings & I opted to leave off the coleslaw (I'm not a fan). I really liked it a lot. The onion rings were good, but I like ones that are more tempura-like instead of breaded & crumb-y like these were. My man got the Kobe burger with crosscut fries and he liked it. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/OMBbGWMgWfiPSqV3mT2p8w?select=U0pTeP-6H-byuOT1Bv4feA It was "fancier" than I expected and everything was clean. When we asked for sides of BBQ & ranch they were served to us in little cups on a plate with a napkin. I also wasn't expecting cloth napkins at a sports bar/restaurant which was nice. They had food runners so food is served hot. I love that. I also liked that you can see the kitchen through a glass window, so nobody is messing with your food. Maybe I was freezing, tired & starving... but I was very happy with the dinner we had here and I would come back again on our next trip to Burnsville. -
Kellys 4-Sterne-Beitrag: From 6/10/12: Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner. Huge variety in the menu: American, Mexican, Greek. Order at counter & food is brought to you. Also has a drive thru. $5.49 for cheeseburger combo was a great deal. Check out the pic: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/qKr74Y5LZ3hUmHQX2AWtPg?select=pSsjB4czufjRkLCe6e0v-A#HP8Mko_eZ9ghMS2j48rOew Zucchini fries better than onion rings. The onion rings fell apart a bit, but the zucchini fries were SOLID & so yummy.

Kellys 3-Sterne-Beitrag: As others have mentioned, this is a bit of a sketchy area... The homeless guy sitting on the curb in front of the drive thru was a mess and it was the middle of the day! Management & corporate should take note of this. It's kind of scary to order at the drive thru with a homeless person just a few feet away. I mean, you can't tell the person you don't have cash because you are about to buy something! My order came out a bit slow and it seemed like they must have been understaffed that day. The food was just what I wanted and tasted good like it usually does. I like Carl's overall, but will probably drive a bit further to the location on Clairemont Drive & Burgener in the Keils/CVS shopping center just uphill from the Mission Bay Info Center. I've never had a bad experience there. -
Kellys 3-Sterne-Beitrag: My husband and I gave this place another chance for Sunday football last week... partly because the first place we stopped was full and partly because we were with a group of people and it's easier to follow along. The good: -- Paper signs taped to each TV with which teams are playing = so helpful! -- Better service = smiles go a long way! -- No more kids playground outside (now it's just a couple of patio seating areas) -- Big water glasses that were kept full Not so good: -- A zillion KIDS here! First time I've ever seen kids doing homework in a sports bar. And there were also 3 dads who brought 11 kids (yes, 11) ages approximately 6-13. They all looked miserable. -- Not the best seating in the front area for watching football games. We were in a spot with a counter against the wall and it's no fun sitting turned completely sideways. -- The staff seems to be a bit out of it... So many ladies in the skimpy outfits are just standing around chatting with each other. We had a great waitress this time, but it seemed like a lot of the other girls were doing nothing. My husband and I split the NACHOS (thanks to the recommendation from Courtney!). They were really good and I was happy with our decision. The menu is bigger than I remembered it used to be, so perhaps it's getting better. I think I'm gonna stick with splitting the nachos with my husband on the rare occasion that I show up here. I'm not going by myself again, but the seemed to be a little bit better than the last time.... -
Kellys 3-Sterne-Beitrag: As other reviewers have said, I wouldn't come here without kids... I don't have any myself, but it's a fun place to bring kids when I need to entertain them. We had a group of 6: 4 adults and 2 kids. It was a long dinner where the kids had a great time, but the adults definitely left feeling exhausted from the noise and sheer amount of time spent in the restaurant. TIPS: -- They won't seat you until your entire party is present, so make sure you arrive together. -- Plan for at least a 15 minute wait (mostly 30 minutes) and 90 minutes to 2 hours for the whole meal. It's an experience. -- Request something other than the "groovy" dark room because it's just too dark in there -- Split a shake or malt to save money, but make sure to ask for NO WHIP CREAM! They go crazy with whip cream and it ruins the ice creamy goodness. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=7lsk7VJ4OvaTxtdcNeSjZg&select=LYO1IfauReQ3rClGd1hcdA I have fond memories of the old location in Hillcrest. It was super fun to see the wait staff dancing to the music and being able to make requests with the DJ. Unfortunately everything is divided into rooms now and that feeling is gone. The 60s room with glow in the dark art is just too dark for me. I'm also not a fan of the arcade-- it's a way for them to make more money while people wait, but it can be very overwhelming for the kids as well. We got the Fried Zucchini appetizer and it was just okay. Edible and not bad, I just wouldn't order it again. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=7lsk7VJ4OvaTxtdcNeSjZg&select=1QrzGd19xFqz7aPj1gVswg I got the Western Burger (can't remember the name) with onion rings. They don't ask how you want your burger cooked, so everyone gets them well done. It would be so much better if the burger was medium. Onion rings were traditional breading and very big. Decent, but not my favorite. I prefer tempura or beer battered. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=7lsk7VJ4OvaTxtdcNeSjZg&select=RJJmtqabrsCUYeyiMGZmoQ All in all, it was a good time. The kids got balloon hats ended the night with ice cream. I'll just space out my visits every few years here.
