50 Best Burger Restaurants near Laguna Beach

“Great food, especially for the price in Laguna.

This Finneys location is particularly enjoyable, being one of the only 'watering holes' in Laguna, comprised of 30% locals every night.

They have great bar tenders overall, however there is high turnover. You'll be lucky if Kelsie is at the bar to serve you. The group of locals that rack it up 6-7 days a week were extremely disappointed to learn that she is temporarily only working 1 day per week. She contributed greatly to building the community here and its unfortunate that I won't be seeing as many locals as a result.“

Burger was huge and is honestly the best burger I’ve ever had in Orange County…seriously! Fries were awesome. Employees were super nice. This place is a gem and I’ll be back!!!“

“wonderful staff! enthusiastic personnel“

“The food and environment is wonderful, don’t miss it! We will be back!“

“Absolutely beautiful ocean view from your table“

“I highly recommend In n Out Burger. I love their burgers, fries and Root Beer when I go. But why can't I get a burger well-done late night? With the patties nice and thin, I should never bite into a burger that's red or pink inside. I even tell them to burn it a little bit. But that doesn't change a thing. I'm not going to stop eating here. I'll just aim for earlier when not at a peak rush with a long line. Wish me luck!“

“The Melt has one of the best burgers Iv'e ever had. But you will pay a good price for them. Paid $60 for a family of 3 for lunch. Good clean seating and great staff!! Shakes & fries are really good too. Definitely a gourmet type burger. I had the mushroom burger and it was awesome.!!“

“This place is quite nice. It can accommodate more diners than one might initially think. In addition, they have outdoor heaters for those who like to dine outdoors. The food here is very tasty, the portions are ample, and it's not too expensive.“

“Excellent experience at this In-N-Out location! I have never been so impressed with the customer service and friendliness of the staff and customers. Bill especially went out of his way to make me feel like family as I was visiting from out-of-town and truly made this a special and memorable experience. This was the best burger I ever had! Highly recommend Bill and this In-N-Out location!“

“Very customer service friendly“

“10/10 burger! I got the tombstone, with onion rings and a chocolate shake and wowwww it was amazing! Everything about the burger was perfection from the bacon flavor, thickness and juicyness to the chocolate shakes chocolate pizzazle without being too chochlately. I wish they had one closer to San Clemente because wowwieee id go here for a burger instead of In n Out! Hahaaaa! So cool.“

“On a recent trip to England where I met the queen herself, she asked if I had been to TK Burger... I had not, but I promised to go first thing when I got back.

The atmosphere is local, friendly, and inviting besides a bull dog that relieved itself right out front.

The fries are great, burger had really potential but was a little overcooked and dry for me. The burger as a hole was juicy though.

This burger was like a shampoo'y head dip... almost doing the thing but not quite. Still stoked though, you know?“

“Only place in San Diego county I feel like you can get a proper breakfast burrito. Ten out of ten.“

“I wondered how I could eat well on vacation. Vibe was across the street from my rental and I was so happy to find it! Meal problem solved! I bought a couple of bowls and a wrap during my stay. I even got my mom and two sisters to visit with me. They found something to try, too! Wish you had a store in Utah, I'd try everything on the menu. I actually got to have ice-cream! Thank you Vibe, Dana Point.“

“This is probably the best cheese burger I’ve had. My order was completed within minutes. Bread feels real and not like a dry sponge. Fries were crispy and NONE were soggy which is a huge plus. Definitely will be going back before my flight tomorrow.“

“Omg the food. 1st time in and I’ll definitely be back. Loved the outdoor seating option.“

“Had breakfast here this morning - their vegan breakfast burrito was UNBELIEVABLY delicious, and the berry smoothie was great too. It seems like this place is very intentional about making healthy, ethical choices for their restaurant. I will definitely be back next time I’m in town!“

“A beautiful morning at Crystal Cove...7AM reservation at a table with great views of the ocean and our smiling server, Oscar, welcoming us with strong hot coffees & cream. Perfect. I enjoyed a typical breakfast that was perfectly prepared to my order: poached eggs, extra crispy potatoes & bacon with rye toast and blackberry jam. My lovely partner was overwhelmed by the tasty gigantic "Savory Spinach & Mushroom Crepe". It would easily feed two people. Oscar was very attentive and often stopped by with more hot coffee. Delightful.“

“place is awesome. quick and tasty“

“Ok, so first up it was a bit pricey. But holy cow the burgers were all amazing, the place was clean, staff was wonderful. If you want ridiculously tasty burgers and don't mind paying for it... I'll give this place 5/5 stars for sure.“

“I was very impressed with the food here. The quality is top notch and the creativity of flavor combinations were wonderful. My husband and I split the braised peach salad and the Vietnamese chicken sandwich. I highly recommend both. The staff was friendly and you could tell they really cared about the quality of food they prepared. Even though it was served in a to go container the presentation was still beautiful.“

“I'm from the South and can enjoy a good fast food burger. Must say that this is a great lil hidden gem. After a day on the boat, nice to swing by and grab a burger, fries and a ice cold soda! Only challenge here is getting in and out of A's. When PCH is backed up, that turn can take a some patience especially on the weekend. Otherwise, smooth sailing!“

“There was 7 of us in town for a conference and we stumbled upon Hole in the Wall Burger! Burger was delicious the service outstanding and special sauce of the chart’s. Next time I’m in the area I’ll definitely be stopping by and have a burger!“

“I love this place !I enjoy eating here! The workers are so kind 👍“

“Awesome place. Found by mistake and loved it.“

“Absolutely wonderful food and service. Never fails!“

“Fabulous food and cool interior“

“Our first visit to Bushfire Kitchen was a great experience. My burger was delicious, and the Thai Bowl was really good as well. We also ordered the sweet potato fries, which were probably the best I’ve ever had — perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which is hard to pull off since sweet potatoes can get mushy so easily. We’ll definitely be adding this spot into our regular restaurant rotation.“

“2/5/26-

Together, they create a welcoming environment that truly reflects outstanding teamwork and care for customers. They both deserve recognition for their exceptional service.“

“We love this place, best view! ♥️“

“This place brings back a lot of great old memories for me. It’s honestly sad to see how empty it has become these days. The burgers are still just as good as I remember, which says a lot about the consistency over the years.

I really wish the owners would invest in renovating the space and bringing some life back into it. With a little attention to the atmosphere and some stronger marketing, this place could easily become popular again. It has so much potential and history, it would be a shame to see it fade away.

Overall, great burgers, but I hope to see this place get the refresh and support it deserves before it’s too late.“

“The food was prepared well and tasted delicious! Fresh and served hot of the grill. I had the fish sandwich and was really glad that I did. I'm a burger girl through and through, so I'll get one on our next visit. Yummy onion rings and creamy dill dip!“

“Food here is amazing! Had amazing service. We're from canada and come down to California for two weeks every November. We have now decided that this will be added to our yearly traditions! Wonderful family owned business which is lovely to see. Everyone here cares about your experience and the quality of food. Cannot wait to come back!“

“Good place to grab their famous chili style menu. Great tasting food that can be messy to to eat but thats OK. Good flavor. Service is a tab slow so anticipate a small wait. Fries are average until you get chili cheese on them, then their sensational. Good place to try if you desire a different style of burger“

“I give 5 stars for this restaurant from the Deliamar shop with support and respect Great food and great service.“

“Great food as always. Only been 12 years since my last one. lol“

“Great atmosphere with great service. Loved how an entire team look out for you from the greeting to the end.“
