The Lineup

Five house burgers, griddled to order

Every burger comes with fries or a side salad. Add avocado, egg or bacon, or swap in a gluten-free bun. Ask your server about allergy-sensitive options.

Cheeseburger 101

$19

Juicy, griddled patty with a little char around the edges, melted cheddar draped over the beef, and our house secret sauce catching on the bottom bun.

Toppings: Lettuce · Tomato · Onion · Cheddar · Secret sauce

Suggested side: Fries or side salad; add avocado, egg, bacon or a GF bun.

Beer pairing: Biergarden Lager — crisp, clean, and built for a cheeseburger.

Fig Burger

$20

Sweet fig spread meets peppery arugula and tangy herbed goat cheese. The caramelized onions add a slow-cooked depth that balances the salt from the bacon.

Toppings: Fig spread · Arugula · Tomato · Herbed goat cheese · Caramelized onion

Suggested side: Truffle fries — the earthy aroma plays off the fig and goat cheese.

Beer pairing: A hazy San Diego IPA — the citrus notes lift the fig and arugula.

Texas BBQ Burger

$22

Smoky-sweet BBQ sauce, thick-cut bacon, melted cheddar and a stack of crispy onion strings that crackle when you bite.

Toppings: Cheddar · Bacon · BBQ sauce · Crispy onion strings

Suggested side: Onion rings or a side salad to cut the richness.

Beer pairing: A malty amber ale — the caramel malt echoes the BBQ glaze.

BG Burger

$22

Truffle aioli adds a savory finish to sweet caramelized onions, while bleu cheese crumbles give every other bite a sharp, creamy punch.

Toppings: Caramelized onion · Truffle aioli · Bacon · Bleu cheese crumbles

Suggested side: Truffle fries — double down on the truffle aroma.

Beer pairing: A roasty porter — the dark malt stands up to bleu cheese and truffle.

Impossible Burger

$22

Plant-based patty with a savory soyrizo kick, melty cheddar and chipotle aioli. The caramelized onions and fresh LTO keep it grounded in California patio-bar territory.

Toppings: Impossible patty · Soyrizo · Caramelized onions · LTO · Cheddar · Chipotle aioli

Suggested side: Brussels sprouts with citrus vinaigrette and candied pecans.

Beer pairing: A light, fruity wheat ale — refreshing against the chipotle heat.
