Our 45 Year "overnight" success story begins back in 1969, Byron and Virginia Hardin began serving the World's Best Burgers in the beach community of Ocean Beach San Diego. Hodad's first location was on the beach at the end of Santa Monica Ave. & In 1991, Hodad's opened at it's present location on Newport Ave. In 2011 we opened ou 2nd location at 10th & Broadway in downtown San Diego & in 2012 we opened in Petco Park for all of the baseball Fans. We have affordable catering too. Hodad's is now in the hands of third generation family members, Shane & Lexi Hardin. They're the adult children of the famous Burgermeister, Mike "Bossman" Hardin. The thing that really makes the Hodad's Burger stand out is the AMPLE amount of fresh and meaty toppings. The burgers are just huge. Simple but Huge. We keep it all simple with good local beers, REAL milkshakes and super crispy Fries and Onion Rings. That's it. No Gimmicks.

Hodad's is now in the hands of third generation family members, Shane & Lexi Hardin. They're the adult children of the famous Burgermeister, Mike "Bossman" Hardin. Mike was at the helm of this seaside burger joint when it rocketed to stardom. It was Mike's heart that kept the whole team sane as they went from a local's favorite shack to a relentlessly busy hub for Burger lovers from around the world. He was surfer, a businessman, a joker, a philosopher and great Dad. He was a friend to anyone whoever met him and did his best to make life better for America's Military as a member of the MESS LORDS!Read More about Mike's continuing influence on our community, See The Diner's, Drive-In's & Dives episode that changed absolutely everything, look through the inspiring photos of his years of travel & participation in the Mess Lords and watch the unlikely "46 Year Overnight Success Story" unfold in the collection of clips gathered on our website.
