Crocker's
American restaurant
👍👍 Great nostalgic spot on Balboa Island. Simple classic diner style dogs, burgers, and fries combined with a coffee shop/ bakery. It's definitely worth an afternoon lunch, or evening desert and coffee.

Hopdoddy Burger Bar
Restaurant
👍👍 I started with their sweet potato fries, which were fresh and delicious, accompanied by a pint of Happiness IPA. Later, I tried their Primetime burger and the sliders. Both choices were juicy and flavorful. Overall, it's a fantastic place to satisfy your burger cravings.
