Our Guestbook
“ I love this place! My second time going and the food and atmosphere were equally good! You can eat inside or outside. The first time I ate there, I ate outside and it was so nice and relaxing. The second time, we ate inside, and I must say I got addicted to watching their commercials very entertaining. I am really not a person to eat a lot of fries. However, I am in love with their burgers and fries. The prices are decent. If you haven't tried this place, I would give it a try! ”
“ Good beer, great staff, overall good vibes. Food was a little overpriced for what it was. I had a wrap for 15 that was just shredded lettuce and some chopped chicken. A bit lackluster. Otherwise, the environment is great, and the bar staff was a lot of fun. ”
“ Great atmosphere and beer. Open Mind Hazy is my favorite. First time visiting and I’ll definitely be back. ”
“ This place is AWESOME!!!!! This is the coolest brewery I've ever been to! First off, it is punk as heck! Everything inside is black and they play metal music, and they have SO MUCH cool merch! They sell hats, pins, sweaters, shirts, and more! They have alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks as well as food. The employees were very friendly and the service was fast. You can sit inside or outside in their back patio. I'll definitely be back! They are also dog friendly! ”
“ Nestled in the heart of downtown Escondido, Full Metal Burger is a shrine to the unholy trinity of killer food, heavy riffs, and dark brews. This metal burger joint delivers smashed-patty perfection with burgers so juicy they’ll melt your face (or gently sear if you go with a vegan option!). Pair your meal with a pint of Black Plague Brewing’s sinister creations—beers like "Gothica" and "Purgatory IPA" are the perfect companions to this devilishly delicious lineup. If that's not your jam there are plenty of non-alcoholic options from Liquid Death to Coca-Cola (Pepsi is never okay). Hit up Monday Happy Hour for 5 pints and bang your head to the sound of the week’s events, including DJ vinyl sets and community gatherings that keep the metal spirit alive. Full Metal Burger doesn’t just serve food; it serves an experience. Whether you're a metalhead or just hungry for a seriously good burger, this is your Valhalla. AND THEY HAVE DOG PATTIES! ”
“ I just found what I think will be another of my regular spots. Excellent beer and delicious smash burgers. The atmosphere is somehow dreadfully cheery. ”
“ Dropped in for the first time. Great relaxed atmosphere. This brewery shares a space with Full Metal Burgers. If you want to eat, you need to order at a separate till at the end of the bar. No biggie. Had the Prince of Bavaria Oktoberfest and Nyjah hazy IPA. Both great! The burgers and fries were also the bomb! Family Feud trivia night was on and there was a nice local vibe going on. We were visiting from San Diego and felt very welcome. Will be back next time in Escondido. ”
“ What a fun place! They have a great beer and food selection. We had a couple burgers and our friend had the Patty Meltalica! They were all so good! We shared an order of the shoestring fries that were also very good. The decor is fun - dark, creepy pictures, animal skeleton heads, a great bar to sit at and watch the football game on TV and a wide selection of beers on tap. They also offer growlers and can beer to go. They have a nice outdoor seating area and areas just to sit and hang out. The guys working the food and bar orders were cool, friendly and efficient. They just celebrated their 1 year anniversary, so next time you are in Escondido go by and try it out, you won't be disappointed! ”
