A small sign by the door says "Occupancy-67 people." If Grace and Jeff Hagen established this same diner in the period in which it is themed then there would be no surprise to see some of America's favorite 1950s celebrities enjoying all-time American favorites, hamburgers, and ice cream.
Hotshot Burgers, a hamburger and ice cream diner, has reached its 5-year milestone this year by gracing North County San Diego with some of America's favorite foods, burgers, and ice cream.
One cannot escape this diner, located off Centre City Parkway just before it merges onto the Southbound Interstate 15 in Escondido. A real-life stand up of James Dean serves as host and another of Betty Boop looks on a game of Checkers for any two players who are entertained while waiting for an order to be prepared. The walls, decorated with American legends such as John Wayne, red booths, and of course, a jukebox well stocked with tunes, which gives Hotshot a 50s feel.
Hotshot Burgers offers several basket meals for roughly $9, which includes fries and a medium drink; two basket favorites would include a Hotshot Burger or a ½ lb Super Hotshot Burger. They also offer a quarter-pound Hotshot Junior Burger for $4.40, which you can accompany with a side of fries or onion rings. And maybe if you just got done watching Napoleon Dynamite and have the taste for some tots…they've got them too.
To satisfy the sweet tooth, there are several choices as well. One has the choice of a single or double scoop of Thrifty brand ice cream. Hotshot also recommends their hand-blended shakes, malts, floats, and sundaes, which can be the dilemma between having a meal or dessert.
Go and visit Hotshot not only for the fine, fresh ingredients of American cuisine, but for the authentic experience it has to offer because sometimes it is more than just about the food.
