My personal experience at Burger Bench was nothing short of delightful. I opted for the signature bench burger, paired with a refreshing craft beer. The burger was juicy and well-seasoned, with toppings that harmoniously blended textures and flavors. I also had a taste of their unique vegan option, which was surprisingly hearty and satisfying—a testament to the chef's creativity.
Moreover, what stood out was the friendly and attentive service from the staff, who were not only helpful but also proud to share their culinary creations. The casual ambiance, mixed with a moderate noise level and the occasional clink of pool balls, set a laid-back yet vibrant tone that encouraged guests to linger and enjoy the moment.

Burger was really good, I would give it about an 8 out of ten, tater tots were good but nothing special. The shakes the people were drinking next to me looked great and the people said they loved it. 2 pre-teen boys had a hard time drinking it all. The had a great variety of beer to choose from. The guy who took our order and all of the other people were really nice. I will definitely come here again.
Friendly atmosphere, clean restaurant. Food was excellent and not overpriced. Shout out to my Server Jon for his excellent service! Outstanding!
Fun place for casual burgers with a solid selection of beer. I went with a friend on a Sunday afternoon and had no trouble finding free street parking nearby. I was worried because the line to order at the counter was long, but it moved pretty quickly. Service was very fast even though it was busy and Dawn at the counter was so friendly and helpful! We both received our drinks the instant we sat down and our burgers very shortly thereafter. My friend and I both got the Classic burger, his minus tomato and mine plus bacon. It was absolutely delicious and exactly what I was craving. Their Bench sauce that comes on several of the burgers was so good that we ordered more to dip the fries in. Highly recommend!
My daughter says this is her favorite hamburger in the world. My wife loves the tater tots. I think it's alright. The service is top notch and they all seem to work together. They have tables inside and out. When we went on a Saturday afternoon at 4:30 there were only a few tables left and then the rush where there were none. It seemed like they were the only business on the block making money.
This is a local burger joint in Escondido. The entire street is having a face lift and very safe to walk around. Free public lots and free street parking. Has indoor and patio seats. Breakfast from 8-11am every weekend. Lunch starts at 11:30. We had to wait in line until it was time for lunch. You order first then seat yourself. We ordered: -Inferno chicken sandwich: Cajun style fried chicken with a nice kick on a soft bun. -3 (sliders): gold rooster (signature chicken), fried chicken (has bacon) and smokehouse. Great way to sample some of the burgers. -Half and half: beer battered onion rings and truffle Parmesan fries. -Grand Avenue Chili: a bit bland but meaty There are beer, wine, milk shake options. I got a caned watermelon drink and it was so refreshing.
This is a comfortable, order at the counter place. I love the skylights and wood detail. Happy hour Monday-Thurs 2-4. My Blackberry Cherry Hard Cider! Not sweet. Willing to give a taste of the cider ahead. Friendly staff. Burgers are fresh angus beef, never frozen. It lists vegan options, but very limited. Buns are brioche, egg. Black bean burger was yummy with grilled veggies on top, a little soft but actually great texture and flavor. They have dressings and soups made from scratch.
Solid burgers. This is for a takeout order. I got the truffle tots, truffle fries, and sliders with the smokehouse, grilled chicken club, and Swiss mushroom. Truffle tots are better than fries here. Fries are not crispy while the tots are. Friends also ordered different burgers. The remarks were chicken burgers were whatever. The only qualm I would have is that nobody got their meat cooked. My pregnant friend asked for well done and her patty looked rare. The medium rare was cooked like it was well done. And the other medium well looked medium rare. Was very confusing. Otherwise will definitely order from here again.
Burger Bench has some of the most delicious hamburgers to choose from. The order time is always short (even when the line is long). The fool's is delicious and the presentation is appetizing. We come here about once every two months and are pleasantly surprised every time.
This place is about to be dope when that construction is finished. The service was good. Location is isn't bad either. The only item i did not like was the chicken slider. They are always dry no matter where they are from in my option. Everything else was solid. We will go back. Price wasnt bad at all.
