Bushfire Kitchen serves scratch-made American comfort food at 2602 Del Mar Heights Road, Suite 102, Del Mar 92014, earning the highest rating in this dining batch at 4.6 stars across 950 Google reviews. The family-owned restaurant was co-founded in 2012 by cousins Clive and Brandon Barwin, who grew up in South Africa and built the concept around globally inspired flavors using premium ingredients at approachable prices. The Del Mar location opened in the Beachside Del Mar shopping center alongside Jack in the Box on the same Del Mar Heights Road corridor, giving the neighborhood both a health-conscious sit-down option and a 24-hour drive-through within steps of each other. Bushfire operates daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. with counter service that keeps costs down without sacrificing quality. Colorado grass-fed Angus beef anchors the burger lineup, including the California Burger stacked with applewood smoked bacon, cheddar, local avocado, and housemade mayo. The build-your-own bowl menu lets diners choose from grass-fed tri-tip, cage-free chicken, wild-caught salmon, or Thai chicken curry over bases like brown rice, baby kale, or jasmine rice. Housemade empanadas filled with grass-fed beef, citrus-marinated chicken, or a spinach-corn-pepper jack veggie blend come with fresh chimichurri sauce. Happy hour runs daily from 2 to 5 p.m. with specials like Bushfire wings in Nashville hot, peri peri, teriyaki, or BBQ sauce. The bakery case features cookies in flavors like triple chocolate, lemon-coconut white chocolate, and a gluten-free chocolate chip option. Organic dishes, vegan plates, and gluten-free options are clearly marked throughout the menu. The dog-friendly patio and free parking lot make it especially convenient for families. The restaurant also offers catering and delivery through DoorDash, Uber Eats, and direct online ordering through its Toast platform. Shoppers heading to nearby Whole Foods Market at Flower Hill Promenade often stop at Bushfire for a quick bowl or burger on the way.
