Great selection of food. Food was fresh and fast! The sodas are bottles with real shurger. If you need to use the bathroom get the key from the kitchen. Just be sure no one is in the bathroom though since apparently some people don't take the key in. On busy days parking is very tough and your food order may come out wrong.

My buddy who grew up in San Clemente really wanted to take me here on a quick vacation we had. I had one of their classic burgers with fries. It was awesome! Definitely loved the burger. Loved everything about it from the burger down to the meat. Fries were good but nothing to write home about. If/when I come back, I will definitely make a stop here and grab another burger!

Must try this place!!! Very nice little spot next to the beach with nice vibes. You order and sit wherever you want. The service was nice and quick. The burger, omg it’s delicious. It was very juicy and fresh and you can tell they care about what they’re putting out. And the burger felt very light not too greasy and heavy.The fries were nice and hot when they came and the house made ranch was amazing. I’d totally recommend for a quick eat next to the beach.

Good-tasting, made-to-order food. Good selection of drinks. However if you get a meal and a drink it’s pushing close to $30 now. And still very expensive for the burger by itself

One of the best burgers OC has to offer. I do recommend at least going once in your lifetime. Great choices to pick from everything fresh, friendly service and best of all you are minutes from the beach. I drive 2 hrs away to come eat this burger 🍔

The burgers and chili cheese fries where delicious and fresh! The service and servers are amazing. Best burger I’ve had in a long time. (I thought it was a biker bar at first so I was hesitant to try this place).

Really cool and old school burger joint. Lot's of choices on the menu and a good selection of beer's to choose from, nice patio to sit and enjoy the nice weather. Now about the food! I had a classic cheese burger with bacon added, It comes with a really good brioche bun toasted, a thick fresh ground beef patty cooked to order, spring mix for greens, pickels, cheddar cheese or other choices and grilled onions or raw, Your choice of spread, ketchup, mustard I think mayo, in any combination you want and really good fries on the side, and a rootbeer, also good. And I have to say that it all was very good even great. We all ordered different things and nobody was disappointed or unhappy with their orders. This place is a little gem and I do recommend checking it out, if your not looking for "Fancy" then you are in the right place. Really good burgers, beer and fries in a cool spot! What else do you need?

We took a Sunday drive heard about this Awesome Burger place. The atmosphere and service was great. The burgers were cooked to perfection, my friend did not like the choice of lettuce or the house ketchup 🥴.

Delicious and friendly! Loved the chicken sandwich and my son loved the hot dog! I love that you can choose your own meat and toppings!! Loved the outdoor seating. Would definitely return. Had to try the beets everyone raved about which were yummy!

Hands down the best cheese burger I have had and lets be honest, I have had a lot of chesse burgers in my time! Went here for lunch today, small mom and pop burger joint. They only have a few items on the menu and I love that. Why? Becuse that means they can put all the love and attention into those items which you can taste at the table. I ordered the beef patty ground in house. $8.95 comes with lettuce which is actually a spring mix and raw or grilled onions. I got grilled of course. But if you're not in the mood for beef you can choose from a house made veggie patty, chicken or portobello mushroom cap. Then you pick your cheese for $1.00 each, I opted for goat cheese but you can choose from blue, swiss, cheddar, havarti or Munster. For $1.25 each you can add bacon, fried egg, avocado or grilled green chilies. I got the grilled chilies. They also do dogs but only 2 kinds, again love that. The house dog comes with house made relish and mustard. Exactly how a hot dog should be, no ketchup. However they do have house made ketchup and its by far better than anything I've ever had out of a factory bottle. The other dog is a chili dog, again house made chili, cheddar cheese and red onion. Everything comes with chips, no not bags here. House made not to thin not to thick perfectly salted perfectly crispy potato chips. 5 out of 5, A+ so go! Laugh, live and eat good food!

I've been coming here for years and still believe it is THE best burger in Orange County. After many many years, this is still my favorite burger place. They recently started making their own house ranch sauce and OH. MY. was it good.

Very delicious burger joint and now, though as unfortunate as it is due to the pandemic, there is a bigger patio area with an ocean view! These are premium craft burgers and so it can be spendy depending on the extras you add. Aside from the beef burgers, the carnitas is also fantastic. They also have thirst quenching beers on tap along with bottles/cans to choose from, making it a one stop shop for all your food and beverage needs! Tip: take your food order over to Knuckleheads bar a couple doors down for Sports TVs galore, a full bar, and friendly bartenders!

Good burger, decent fries, a half dozen beers on tap. Got the dive joint vibe. Expensive, but prices are what they are, if people keep paying them they'll keep charging them.

Quality burger, friendly staff, great house made ranch, the burgers here are very fresh and tasty, the location is right next to the beach, I couldn’t imagine a better spot than this one and I have quite a few burger places I go to in OC, this one definitely topped them all!

So, you ever see something, but go by and then say, you know what, that looks like someplace I want to be.. well I have to say, after making a u-turn on El Camino Real, I parked in the parking lot of a small but happening restaurant. I neither work nor live near here, so to find this restaurant was truly an out of the blue find. I kept it simple, beef burger medium, cheese, grilled onions, house sauce, fries, house ketchup.. I nearly inhaled the burger, cooked perfectly, delicious meat and toppings. I reached for a fry, that perfect golden crisp hot, perfect salted piece of magic... So if you haven't guessed, I Really Liked It!! Amazing quality, taste and oh yeah, super friendly staff. Not the cheapest burger, but I think worth every penny...
