Burgers, Bait & Beer

Took me awhile to find, I mean that. Well worth the trouble. Go all the way to the water. It is on the water by band shell. Follow your nose. Fantastic burger. I Don't say that lightly. Ask for onions to be grilled. I usually have burgers with mustard... not this time. The flavors popped in my mouth. Served with a dill pickle which rounds out the flavor. If I lived here I would be in trouble. Delicious. Great patio soundtrack too. Blue umbrellas and blue tables and blue water. 10 out of 10 for a burger joint.

Super casual spot near the Rady Shell. They have fishing rods, gear, and bait for those who want to fish off the small pier. They have a few different burger and sausage options, pierogis, tacos, beer, ice cream, etc. Note, they don't have fries! The menu is small, but is perfect for those fishing at the pier or wanting a quick bite. We've walked past it so many times and finally made an effort to try the burgers. I got the All American (added bacon) and my husband got the Baja burger with a side of pierogis. Burgers were large and tasty. Also note, they all come with a tomato aoli. I would've liked the bacon to be crispy, but it was fine. The pierogis were surprisingly great! They have a small fenced in area with seating (most have umbrellas) or you could take your food to go and enjoy anywhere in the peninsula park. Really nice bay views from their spot though! The man who served us was friendly and patient while we were deciding. Food was made fresh and put in about 10 minutes.

Hoped on the wrong Ferry from Coronado and ended up at San Diego Convention Center. Found Burgers, Bait & Beer and our crew had a great lunch off the pier. Rave reviews on the American Burgers! I had something called the Kraken. Beef sausage with grilled shrimp, caramelized onions and corn in a chipotle sauce. Drinks and meals are ordered in the small building. The food is cooked in an outside kitchen. Seating is outside or along the pier. Ambience is "dive bar hole in the wall" in the most positive sense. You can also rent a fishing rig for $20 dollars a day and fish off the pier. Restroom facilities are next door in the public park facilities.

This is a hidden gem behind the convention center. I really enjoy this spot as a place to take a break during a leisurely bike ride down by the Harbor. The burgers are good and you can grab a pint of beer if you please. I believe they also make TJ dogs if that's your thing. The seating is outdoor. It's just a really chill spot and I will continue to come here as long as they're around.

They made a mistake on the order but instead of kindly correcting it the cook was rude and argumentative and would not let me explain the problem.

This is certainly a straight-forward, simple and perfectly located hangout spot. As you can see from my signage pic, and the other outside pics, it's a very simple place: 1 small building and 1 food trailer. There is only an outside seating area, but there was ample umbrella coverage. We sat facing the pier and were entertained by walkers, fisher people, and of course, the dogs. At this end of the marina, it's a much quieter vibe than over by Sea Port Village. People walk slower and those fishing are very sociable. Our beer was cold - so how could one complain? There is a small fenced seating area, but if it's too crowded, you have a whole, big park to find your own place to watch the boats go by.This is a nice quite niche, in a busy part of the greater Embarcadero area.

Been coming here for years. We walk our dogs from the marina and they get a puppy patty each. Rich and his daughter always take care of everyone and the quality of the food is top notch!

The burgers are amazing and the potato pierogis are delicious!! Plus you have a great view!

Went during comic-con. Not sure if prices were jacked up because of the con but it was crazy crazy expensive. The Nacho's were 15$... for chips from a bag and nacho cheese with canned jalapeños thrown on it. The Baja burger was very good but nothing was stand out ish for my order to be as expensive as it was. Staff was super friendly and helpful and I have no other complaints other than the price I got 2 Baja burgers, 2 regular nachos, sausage pierogis, two sodas, a water, and a Gatorade. My total was $86 dollars.

Ewww...... Cold burger. Poor Quality Lazy CheffHe needs to be replaced .For the $17 I would expect better quality.Gave me a stomach ache.Beware. The pictures posted are deceiving. 100%
