Hodads Downtown Reviews

Fun spot downtown! Very friendly greeting when we walked in and the service was excellent! Atmosphere is eclectic and the music is loud - my kind of place!
Simple menu that is easy to navigate. I tried the bluejay burger with wedges and the wife had mini bacon burger with rings. The burger so was so good with a great bun and fresh toppings. The blue cheese was super delicious if you like that. I was expecting a thin, normal dressing but this was a chunky spread and it was perfect. The bacon was so plentiful and crispy - just the way I like it. Onion rings were definitely the tastier side but it was nice to have a variety.
I’m from out of town but I will definitely come back next time I’m here.

The place was definitely different, the walls are covered with license plates and stickers which is cool.
The food was very good, portions where huge.
I had the blue jay burger which was very good and a chocolate milkshake that was excellent.
Definitely a place to go with friends or family

My parents and I had heard about Hodad's, and we had to see how amazing these burgers really were. They did not disappoint. They were fresh and cooked to perfection. I loved whatever sauce was on them - the sauce makes the burger, if you ask me. The decor was fun, and so were all the employees. I would absolutely visit again!

Overall: The environment was a bit different than what I imagined. The music was loud rock mainly. The decor was... Gave me junkyard vybz. Nevertheless, it was a new experience for me and I appreciated it.
Food: I had the single cheeseburger with fries. It was like any normal cheese burger. Nothing spectacular. The fries were the big wedges, which aren't my favourite.
Service: server was friendly and seemed genuinely interested in taking good care of us. However, we specifically told him No Pickles on the burger... But as you can see... Pickles!
Verdict: if you want a loud, eccentric experience to get a decent burger, then by all means, visit Hodad's!

I order what I thought was a simple chocate shake then it came. Good lord! I was shocked and with the help of my kids and husband (they took a few scoops each) I was able to eat most of this. It was good, amazing and our waiters was fantastic. I had a grilled cheese that was awesome. My husband's burger was great. Our kids really liked it.
That side of town may not be for everyone but I'd say it's worth it for sure.

Impeccable service with absolutely amazing food. I’m not normally into burgers but these were so super good. We got really lucky and got to sit in the cute little van too! Fries are flavorful and crispy with a pillowy inside. Couldn’t ask for more; this is heaven.

I visited them back in December on Christmas vacation. We specifically planned to try after reading good reviews. No doubt tasty burgers, Chicken sandwich and onion rings. Nice hip place, downtown location. Worth a try.

I tried Hodad’s for the first time this past weekend and enjoyed my burger. I had the pastrami burger and she had the regular burger. Onion rings were the best thing going tbh. Service was slow and the girl at the register had a poor attitude lol. I’ll prob just stick to in & out burger which has a better price point, friendly workers and a drive thru!

Great Burger spot ordered the Chesseburger with a basket of onion rings. The burger was really good the patty was juicy and the cheese was a great compliment. The service was great the food took less than 10 minutes. Highly recommend this place!

Great quirky place with a nice ambience and plenty of seating. Service was a little on the slower side. Despite ordering one order of onion rings and two burgers, the food took a very long time to come. The onions rings were very good and in fact we had heard that the rings are awesome and we came here specifically to taste them.
They have two vegetarian options for burgers, one veggie burger and another vegan patty. The veggie burgers were ok, nothing worth raving about.
It is definitely a place worth checking out.
