Junction 52 Bar & Grill in Santee grinds its burger blend fresh from grass-fed short rib, brisket, and shoulder clod, serving it on Mission Gorge Road alongside Hilliker's Farm Fresh Eggs. The kitchen's protein sourcing separates it from the standard frozen-patty model, putting it in the craft-burger tier occupied by the cocktail and taproom programs at Alibi further south on Mission Gorge Road. Hand-rolled tater tots with sharp cheddar, parmesan, and jack arrive with sun-dried-tomato ranch, and the yellowfin tuna appetizer layers sweet onion, avocado, and won-ton crisps in a sweet soy reduction. Over 25 screens broadcast live sports across the dining room and bar, expanding the Santee sports-viewing corridor that includes the craft-beer tap wall at BNS Brewing and Distillery on Wheatlands Avenue. The Angus Prime Rib Dip slices house-roasted rib-eye thin onto a toasted Italian roll with Swiss cheese and a side of au jus, anchoring a sandwich program that also includes Philly cheese steaks and Italian subs.
