Smash burgers that were simple and delicious. The tallow fries were well seasoned and had great flavor. They were so busy that our large order took time to come out and had to ask where we were on the orders. Will definitely go again!

Absolutely the best burger in the area. Get the dirty double and you won’t regret it.
Tanner’s is a blessing to Oceanside and all of North County. The lines can sometimes get a little bit long and the parking lot a little unwieldy but it’s so worth it. The first time I went here, I literally came back a few days later because I had to get more of it.
Burger: MUST GET!
It’s so juicy with every bite and it’ll leave you continually speechless over and over again. Burgers are one of my guilty pleasures and Tanner’s just does it right. The single burger is good but I would recommend the dirty double (assuming you can eat that much) because of the meat/cheese ratio as well as the pickles and stuff. If youre getting a single, I guess you can add the pickles without getting the double.
Tallow fries: Get
Cooked in that delicious rendered fat, these are so crispy and a great pairing with the burger. I would say it’s not nearly mind blowing as the burger but still great.
Food: 10/10
Atmosphere: 7/10
Service: 6/10
Value: 8/10

Hands down the best burger I’ve had in a long time! We stopped by Tanner’s around 11:00 AM and I’m glad we did—within minutes of us arriving, a long line started to form. Both the beef burger and the fries were incredible. Even though it got busy fast and the staff was moving quickly to keep things clean and organized, the quality was top-notch. I will definitely be back for another!

Had lunch there, today. Very busy but very organized, too. Food came out hot & quickly. The choco shake was very smooth. Very thick, too. The large diameter straw was no match for the viscosity. Ended up using a plastic knife to “stab” the shake. Anyway, the shake taste was 10/10. (Very chocolatey.) Then, I saw the Michelin sign posted on the wall. Now, it all made sense.
Smash patties are good, too. Edges are “crispy.” Shared the fries, which were perfect. They had a perfect “tan.”
Here’s a pic…

Delicious burgers and shakes. I was not a fan of the fries but it’s subjective. This place can get packed easily with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Shared parking lot with other businesses. Definitely worth the stop if you are around the area.

Tanners always hit!! The crispy edges, the juicy flavorful chopped chiles plus must generously apply that banger burger sauce! Best tallow fries I’ve ever had. Worth the drive from LA every time.

I was extremely excited to try this place but I don’t think it deserves a 5 star rating. The burger was too salty, their house sauce had zero flavor. I really do believe that it’s overhyped for what it is.

Tanner’s Prime Burgers absolutely delivers when it comes to high-quality burgers done right. The beef is juicy, flavorful, and clearly premium, with perfectly toasted buns and fresh toppings that balance every bite.
A big standout is the fries being fried in beef tallow, they’re incredibly crispy, rich, and packed with flavor. It’s a detail that really sets this place apart and shows their commitment to doing things the right way.
The menu is simple but executed extremely well, portions are generous, and everything comes out hot and fresh. Service is friendly and efficient, but be prepared to wait in a line, especially during peak hours, it’s popular for a reason and absolutely worth the wait.
Laid-back Oceanside vibes, top-tier burgers, and attention to quality throughout. Easy five stars. I’ll definitely be back.

The food is very good. But there’s no service and the atmosphere is just a beachy place. For the real reason I rated a two is because of the price. While I believe you should pay for good food, we ordered three hamburgers two orders of fries, one soda and a ice cream sandwich, the bill was $100 with tip. Smashburger would be just as good at half the price. After all, it’s just a hamburger. As for atmosphere. There isn’t much to say. It’s just a outdoor venue on picnic tables.
