Burger Bench 237 East Grand Avenue, Escondido, CA 92025

"Good food. Little pricey ($13 for a burger that didn’t come with fries). Long wait in line and for our food to arrive. Loved the garlic aioli"

"I ordered wings and mini corn dogs for my daughter. Everything was fresh and hot! Also ordered hot chocolates, espresso, and an affogato... those were all very delicious and bold flavors. The staff were all very nice as well. 5/5 for sure!"

"Thankful to have found this little gem in downtown Escondido. The restaurant was bright, open and had a relaxed atmosphere. The menu was simple, but still had a variety of options. We ordered their bench burger, blackened chicken Caesar salad, fried chicken bites with fries and a side of onion rings. The burger was perfectly cooked. It was juicy and well seasoned. Messy, but delicious. The chicken bites were flavorful and had a good crunch. The fries and onion rings were tasty. The chicken in the salad had a good char, but it was still juicy. The dressing was balanced; it was salty and tangy. The cheese was of good quality. For dessert, we ordered the affogato which was scrumptious. Also, I highly recommend trying their hard ciders. We spent about $140 (with tip) and only because we ordered more than one alcoholic beverage. Next time we are in the area, we will be eating here again."

"Absolutely the best burgers ever! They were super juicy and just overall the best! Their tots were the most crisp tots ever! Everything is worth the price! The atmosphere is nice and the staff is super friendly! They allow dogs outside and even provide water for them!! 100% recommended this place!"
