Hazard Center

the parking lot.
Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of great shops but this parking lot is horrendous. From the parking spots that are so small I’d only park a motorcycle in, to the terrible exit setups.
I also think that an idiot programmed the lights that control the entrance and exit to the Hazard Center. But that’s on the city not on the Hazard Center. That still doesn’t help the cause either.
I’d only go here if you absolutely needed to.

Excellent movie theaters! Half the price of amc, wonderfully nice staff and they just added a bar at the concession stand! Their seats are very comfortable and brand new. I only come to this theater! Never busy :)

First time here at this small theater. They said they remodeled with new seats. Red seats for reserved tickets. Black seats for everyone else. But it looks like the Black seats seem more comfortable than the red. The seats recline but there’s no foot rest/​support.

If you’re tired of paying for parking then you’re going to like Hazard Center. While it’s not the easiest to get in or out at times, it provides pretty good access and free parking to all stores. I’ve been to almost half of the stores there over the years, which means I keep coming back. The movie theaters are priced great with their specials with available seats for most shows. Starbucks is there and close to the Barnes & Noble, so if you like to drink coffee and browse books, you’ll be happy. I’ve been to Stuart Benjamin & Co. Jewelry Design several times for jewelry repair to appraisals and purchases — they are great too. Overall, I really like Hazard Center.

Went here to check out some arts and crafts at Brookstone. They had activities and crafts in front of the store which is on the second level. The lady was showing the kids how to make a bird out of some cups, feathers and eyes. Very cool.
I have also been here to watch movies. I normally don’t come here to hang out. There are a few good places to eat here which I have not tried. There is a Joe’s Crab Shack, Yogurtland, and a few other eateries here.
This location has a parking structure. I think that parking spaces were pretty tight as in narrow. It seems as though there are not a lot of people who come to this location since Fashion Valley and Mission Valley seem to attract more people. It is also not as crowded.
There are many buildings around Hazard Center and the views are amazing!

Had a very busy day in San Diego during a recent trip. The Hazard Center was the right place at the right time! Smash Burger and Starbucks looked really tempting, but we needed to get off our feet and relax. Joe’s Crab Shack, as always, provided the respite our weary bones needed. I see that they’ve added a BJ’s, so I know where our next visit will take us.
With the Ultra Star Cinemas and Barnes & Noble bookstore on site, it would be easy to spend a very pleasant afternoon here.

I come very often here to either Intermezzo or Starbucks to study, not too many people, intermezzo is delicious! My favorite Starbucks, I come from downtown to this one just to do some studying. After a long study period I grab a bite at Smashburger, and honestly its so convenient to have a Barnes and Noble in this same mall to go pick up a book and hit one of the restaurants or coffee shops. I use the FedEx here also, they close later than others. Parking lot is decently big, it’s always so clean here. I come almost twice a month, and also if you don’t like a packed theater or a theater full of obnoxious teens, this is your place!
only not so good thing is occasionally there will be a couple of homeless in Starbucks.

I’m giving 4 stars for this place because if you are going to a Chargers game, then this is the place you need to go to park (because it’s FREE!), and then take a tram straight to the stadium. The tram conveniently picks up every 10 minutes and then takes you to the game in another 10 minutes for $ 5!
As far as the shops here, there are a lot of fast food joints and and dessert shops but nothing too impressive worth noting.

Hazard Center is like the outlets of Mission Valley. Situated right between Fashion and Mission Valley mall centers, it’s almost like it is home to the misfits of shops that couldn’t get a lease at either of the above-​mentioned malls. That being said, this place is actually pretty nice and much more low key than the surrounding area. Worst part about this place is the parking, which can be horrific at times, especially if you have to park near an area that reeks of raw sewage and garbage. Also, as neat as it is, there isn’t a whole lot to do here if you’re looking to just walk around, explore or pass the time. But overall, Hazard Center is a nice shopping center in Mission Valley, it’s very clean and well maintained. Not much to dislike about the place but at the same time, nothing to get hyped about either.

Nothing here I cant get elsewhere.
Parking sucks; spaces are tiny and tight.
It’s hard to find the store or restaurant you came for. I can see it, but how do I get there.

Not good!
It’s was a choice between Apple Bee’s and Denny’s so we decided on AB. After the first bite of my short ribs, I regretted coming here. Staff was pleasant but the food was below average. The short ribs was dry and no flavor. The wings were ok.

Mostly come here for massage envy, Starbucks, and BJs Brewhouse. Usually easy parking in the garage.

A nice strip mall located between Mission Valley and Fashion Valley mall. It has a nice mixture of shops where you can spend some time instead of rushing in and out. It has the only bookstore located in the Valley (at least I can not think of any bookstore located nearby), two coffee shops, a sandwich, burger, seafood, and casual dining establishments. Yes, parking can be tight but if you park closer to the hotel, there is a lot more parking and one can some exercise and walk on over to the other side of the complex. I understand the movie theatre may be going away in several years due to some upcoming road construction in the area. Not sure about that but I like the theatre here because it is hardly ever busy. The popcorn is also pretty good.

Hazard Center has issues with parking. It can be really confusing for a first-​time visitor, so keep that in mind as you head over. There’s a variety of places to spend your money here, including several food places, a FedEx, the UltraStar Cinemas (a great place to see first-​run movies on a budget), Barnes & Noble, and other useful establishments.
But today I was just coming for lunch, and there were plenty of parking spaces available in the front, just off Friars Road. But, of course, there’s no access off Friars Road! You have to head towards the big office building, make a quick right, or miss the front parking entirely. The mall does have significant parking in the back, but if you don’t know it is there, good luck finding it. You have to go past the mall on Frazee Road, to the south side, and drive between the San Diego River and the back of the buildings. I believe the tragically-​expensive San Diego Trolley has a stop here.
Don’t expect a Fashion Valley experience here. Not even a Mission Valley Mall experience. In a lot of ways, this is like an expanded strip mall, and it could probably use a make-​over for better functionality.
A friend of mine posted «I wasn’t aware that Hazard Center is slated to be torn down for more condos». That was three years ago, and the mall is still standing! I guess we can blame it on the economy, but I would not be surprised to find it simply gone one day. I won’t shed any tears…

I often think that Hazard Center is overlooked as a choice place to hang out. However I think it has a lot to offer.
Right in one little area there are actually quite a few options for places to eat. In a variety of types of food and prices. Joes Crabshack, Applebees, BJ’s Brewhouse, Smashburger, a few sandewich shops and coffee shops. Added to the mix a Barnes & Noble. And a movie theater.
The is also near other larger shopping center and centrally located. Parking in the evenings could be a little more challenging on a weekend night.
All in all not a bad place to check.out.

I like this shopping center. It has several restaurants, a bookstore, a Kinkos, a dance studio, a movie theater, and its own trolley station. It usually has plenty of parking. It’s a nice small place compared to the nearby malls.

Hmmm… Where do I start on this one? I’ve been to this center quite a few times in the last couple of weeks and this is entirely based on those visits and may change on my future visits.
This place definitely has a food court, if I may call it that, that any person in the area should try at least once. Having a movie theater in a complex, always helps. BJs will do nothing but bring more business to the already present businesses around.
For some reason, I feel that if you’re new to the place, with or without the current construction going on, you could easily be lost as where you need to come in from and where you’ll need to park and eventually exit. It isn’t the easiest one around.
Parking around the food court can be quite hard around their busiest hours. Unfortunately, I see that the busy area of the center is on the food court side. Looking on the Jenny Craig side of the center, it is completely dead! People literally use the parking spaces and that’s about it.
All this might change with the vacant spots, hence new tenants, the new BJs and more, but it will still be the «hidden gem» like one other reviewer called it. This is definitely a place I will go to again and again specially that I have family living close by. It is a lot easier to go there than Fashion Valley if ever your day doesn’t include having to deal with a huge crowd.

Parking is good but the entire center is confusing if you are unfamiliar

Quite the hidden gem in Mission/​Fashion Valley. Just a hop, skip and jump from Fashion or Mission Valley. Literally one trolley stop between both.
Greatly in need of a remodel as it has the potential to offer so much more then it currently does.
Why do I frequent Hazard Center?
Free parking
Great eats; Joes Crab Shack, Smash Burger, Sports Bar and Grill, Sansai Grill
One of the only Barnes and Noble’s left in the area
Food for Less w/​a Redbox!

Business Center is what this is, good location to eat and do business in the office buildings. Only stopped in to use the Food 4 Less.
Seems clean and useful.
