Hodad’s has been recognized as one of the top 5 burger joints in the country by CNN! This Ocean Beach surf shack with the amazing Burgers and Huge milkshakes was also featured on Food Networks Diner's Drive-Ins & Dives. There is a strong argument for it being the Greatest Burger in the World. Come try one for yourself and see. In 1969, Byron and Virginia Hardin began serving them up in Hodad’s first location, on the beach at the end of Santa Monica Avenue in Ocean Beach. In 1991, after several moves, Hodad’s opened at it’s present location in the heart of Ocean Beach’s Newport Ave. Hodad’s is now in the hands of third generation family member, Shane Hardin. He’s the son of the famous Burgermeister, Mike “Bossman” Hardin. In 2011 Hodad's opened a second location in beautiful downtown San Diego, at 10th & Broadway. We now also have four concession locations inside Petco and a Catering option is available too! http://hodadies.com/catering/

Thanks to for sharing this tidbit of treasure. One time back in 2013, the radio station 94.9 brought by Hodad’s in Ocean Beach for a pop up show. No stage, no TØP Fans, just lunch and a stadium worthy performance! As they say… Stay strong. live on. pass on these songs.
