California, a state renowned for its diverse and vibrant food scene, has a new titleholder for the best fast-food restaurant, according to LoveFood. Rosemarie's Burgers, located in San Diego’s Mission Bay, has claimed the top spot with its unique offerings and mouthwatering flavors.

Rosemarie’s Burgers stands out with its flavor-packed sliders, including options like wagyu beef and crispy fried eggplant. The restaurant's standout items, such as the Nashville hot chicken sliders and Spicy Elote Fries—featuring roasted sweet corn, chipotle aioli, pickled peppers, and Cotija cheese—have garnered rave reviews. The establishment also made an impressive appearance on Yelp's Top 100 US Restaurants list for 2024, ranking at number 40.

While other California favorites like Kogi Korean BBQ and Original Tommy's also made the list, Rosemarie’s Burgers’ blend of generous portion sizes and creative fillings has set it apart as the state’s best fast-food spot.
