Nicky Rottens in Coronado, CA is more than just a bar & burger joint. We are a local small business & community advocate that loves & supports our military.

We’re located inside a restored, brick-walled 1926-era building on Coronado Island, and with nearly twenty 75” flat screen TVs, every seat is the best seat in the house – the perfect way to watch the big weekend game on a (really) big screen. At Nicky Rotten’s, we’re proud to call ourselves part of this awesome Coronado community in San Diego – we love locals, and we want to meet you! Come and try your hand at our huge burgers, or just hang out with a beer on our dog-friendly patio with your four-legged friend, which boasts an unobstructed view of the San Diego Bay and the downtown skyline.

    Fun place! Food was just ok. Appetizer boneless chicken wings tasted like McNuggets and there were only six scrawny (about an inch round) pieces. Celery, carrot and lettuce accompaniments were sad and old looking. We ordered burgers-my table mate got the Stinky burger and asked that the bacon be extra crispy. It was almost raw. Can’t believe she didn’t send it back. I ordered the mushroom burger-great burger, but the onion rings I upgraded to were definitely out of a frozen bag. Mocktails were very good.

    Service was good but we were sat at a table that was two tables combined. They didn’t line up. The burgers were not the highest quality beef and the bacon was undercooked. The bun did not hold up needless to say since it was a greasy mess. I used a fork to eat it and skipped the bread. The chicken bowl looked fresh and healthy. I wish I ordered that instead but this place is known for their burgers. The fried pickle upgrade was well worth the extra cost. I highly recommend those. The same issues could be seen with my wife and daughter’s burgers. My daughter ordered a kids meal and there was no indication of condiment. Unfortunately it was drowned in mustard and the tomato asked for was not on the burger.

    Great food not so good service. The burgers are awesome, portions are big. They can work on improving the service level.

    We went to watch the Padre Game. They have great food. Large servings so you can share one meal. The service was ok. They seemed to be short staffed. At one point, we spilt water and no one helped clean it. We had used all the napkins and water was on the floor. One guy delivered food and we told him we need help with clean up and he never came back. It took about 15 minutes for our waitress to come back and then we asked for napkins and it took another 10 minutes for that and towels at that time we had to clean up. We just always seemed to wait for drinks and ordering.

    Went to watch Monday Night Football and have dinner with friends visiting from out of town. Place was packed, but we got right in because of our OpenTable reservation! Good energy crowd and friendly service. Prices are a bit high, especially for appetizers, but portions for entrees were generous and hey you're in Coronado so it's kind of expected that most everything is pricier in general. Overall, good food & drinks and a fun time. We'll be back! :)
