We ordered takeout from here through their online system which was easy to use. I had the Golden Rooster chicken sandwich and it was delicious. I love the sauce they put on it. It was not spicy but I wasn't sure when I originally ordered it so I asked for it on the side. Next time I'll ask for extra! The burgers were cooked well and everyone was happy with their food!

My favorite burger spot that I've tried in North County so far! Burger Bench is in downtown Escondido off Grand Ave. There was plenty of street parking when I dropped by on a weekday evening. There's a decent amount of seating inside with a patio and outdoor seating as well. This is a fast casual spot with counter service. They were pretty friendly and helpful when I went. They have a decent selection, a good variety of burgers among other things including the option for sliders. I got a mushroom Swiss burger with fries and a S'mores shake and everything was super good! It's exactly what I've been looking for in a (non-fast food) burger place because it definitely hit the spot. Glad I checked this place out, 100% recommend if you're in the area

I went to Burger Bench recently for lunch with a friend, and we really enjoyed it. We sat on the patio since it was a nice day. You order at the register, and they give you your number to take to the table of your choice, and they will bring out your food. First I have to say, the woman who took our order was so pleasant and helpful. We couldn't decide which kombucha we wanted, so she gave us a few sips of each to try. We ended up choosing the Pina Colada flavored one as we liked it the best. I couldn't decide what Burger I wanted, so I got the three slider option where you can mix and match. I love that they do this because it's great to be able to try out different burgers. You can even get a chicken sandwich, which I did. I also got the burger that had a fig sauce spread on it and the smokehouse burger. The sliders were pretty good-sized, and I liked them all, but I'd have to say the fig jam was my favorite. They also let you do a half fry half onion ring basket, which again, is great for indecisive people like me. Since there were 2 of us, we both just got a basket of each. Both were very good, and I honestly can't say which I liked better, so I would probably get half and half. This is a great casual spot to grab a good burger or drink with friends, or even your family. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and they can get packed on the weekends, so be prepared. They also serve breakfast, which I just found out about, so I will update my review once I've had a chance to try it.

I got the sunrise burger. It came with a beef burger, crunchy tots, egg, bacon and their sauce. It tasted like a heart attack and was oooh soo good. I also got the tater tots that were also very good. One bag of those is definitely enough for two people. My friend got the classic burger and gobbled his up. Definitely one of the better burger joints you'd find around

Fist time here to the establishment. Came in, greeted with a smile. Friendly and helpful staff. Ordered the Smokehouse burger with fries. My bud said they also make a really good breakfast burger. The burger as whole is good with the fixings. The patty itself is kind of small for the price. The patty is dry, or is lean meat, and not overly greasy or juicy but it was cooked medium like we asked for. The patty didn't taste like it had much seasoning or salt on it, but when eating it with the bacon, the BBQ ( really good smokey , not to sweet and yet tangy BBQ sauce) the lettuce , the sweet buttery bun, etc crates a flavorful bite. Not to strong, just enough to delight for another bite.

I'm a classic cheeseburger kinda gal, but I was enticed by the Bench Burger. I was in the mood for something decadent and boy did this burger deliver. What stood out to me was the combo of blue cheese, bacon, and grilled mushrooms; a triple whammy of umami. I'd also like to add that I'm not the biggest fan of bbq sauce in a burger, but this was an exception. There wasn't that long of a line when I came for lunch and it was very spacious inside, along with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. You just order at the counter, grab a number, and pick a table. Easy peasy. The staff was very welcoming and obliging throughout my entire dining experience, from the moment I walked through the doors to delivering my food to the table. I thoroughly enjoyed the craft sodas they had available on the fountain, the mixture of the cherry soda with their cola is fantastic. I often crave a good burger, so this is certainly going to be on my list of places to visit when I need to get my fix.

I recently visited Burger Bench and was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. I ordered the classic burger, truffle parmesan fries, tater tots, and a strawberry banana shake, and each item was fantastic. The classic burger was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The fresh toppings and soft, sturdy bun made each bite satisfying and delicious. The truffle parmesan fries were crispy and full of flavor, with just the right amount of truffle oil and parmesan. The tater tots were golden, crispy, and the perfect comfort food. The highlight of the meal was the strawberry banana shake. Made with real ice cream, it was rich, creamy, and easily one of the best milkshakes I've had in a long time. Burger Bench exceeded my expectations. If you're in the mood for a top-notch burger and sides (they also have a huge selection of beers on tap) this place should be at the top of your list!!

Burger Bench is king of Grant Street. No better way to experience Escondido Americana than on a Friday night cruise night with a woodie across the street and muscle cars cruising by. We waited in a line, but easily worth it. Tons of Drinks were on tap from more than a dozen local beers to Stubborn Sofas

Two of my students and I had a workshop to attend in San Marcos. So looking for a place to eat, I found BB. One of my students just likes fries, so this place had some good choices. It's a cool space with indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the bbq bacon burger which was very good! I should've asked for it med well. It was a little too rare for medium. We also ordered plain fries and truffle parmesean fries. I thought the portion of the fries was small in relation to price, but that seems to be the norm right now. This was the first time my students had craft sodas. She: I just wanted a Dr.Pepper He: I almost said Sprite But they have a delicious Black Cherry soda! The staff was really friendly and there was good AC! Definitely worth checking out!
