21 Best Burger Restaurants in Newport Beach

“Absolutely beautiful ocean view from your table“

“TK Burgers is a Newport Beach institution and one of the best places to grab a burger after a day at the beach. The burgers are fresh, juicy, and cooked over an open flame with that classic charbroiled flavor. The fries are crispy, the TK sauce is a must, and the portions are generous for the price.

It’s nothing fancy, just great food served fast with an authentic beach-town vibe. If you’re in Newport Beach and craving a classic California burger, TK Burgers is a place you’ll keep coming back to.“

“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.“

“Newport Beach in my opinion is one of the best beaches for young families. The beach itself is flat, easy to walk on, and continues out into the water. Small waves that run along the beach make it easy and confidence-building for the little ones. Very clean, bathrooms are close, and lifeguards are present and very active. Parking is the only factor that might take a bit. You have to cruise the parking lot to find someone pulling out.“

“Fabulous food and cool interior“

“Excellent food and wonderful service! My wife and I popped in here after a long bike ride, and we weren't disappointed. We shared the supreme breakfast burrito with venison and the waffles with fruit. The burrito was so good, the meat was cooked to perfection and the combination with the eggs and potatoes made it wonderful. And the waffles, oh my! We will definitely be back for more of this delicious food. Oh, and the service was incredible, everyone is so friendly and attentive. A+++“

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

“We love this place, best view! ♥️“

“Been a while but drove 20 miles up PCH to have a meal here after 7 years.“

“Extremely happy place for the variety of food options that this place offers, and a wide variety of lunchtime food choices. Ordered the spicy chicken wrap, it was wonderful, had great flavors, and accompanied by a side of fruits that I chose. I was so hungry completely forgot to even click a Pic of the food. Highly recommend this place for the food.“

“If you're looking for a true Newport Beach classic, Cassidy's Bar & Grill is one of those places that absolutely deserves a visit. Whether you're stopping in after a day at the beach, bar hopping through the Peninsula, or just looking for a place with great people and cold beer, Cassidy's delivers every single time.

One of the first things you'll notice is how professional and hardworking the security staff is. Tai, Will, Troy, and Saed do an incredible job keeping the place safe and making sure everyone has a good time. They're respectful, approachable, and always on top of things, but here's a friendly piece of advice... don't screw with them. They're there to keep the atmosphere fun for everyone, and they do that job exceptionally well.

The bartenders are just as awesome. Both Dereks and Brian have always treated me like family. They're fast, friendly, know how to keep the drinks flowing, and somehow remember faces even after a packed weekend. Great bartenders can make or break a neighborhood bar, and these guys are a huge reason Cassidy's has built such a loyal following over the years.

And let's talk about the food.

The burgers are seriously underrated. They're exactly what you'd hope for after a few beers, fresh, juicy, cooked right, and absolutely hit the spot. Whether you're grabbing lunch or trying to recover from a long night out, you won't leave disappointed. Voted best in all of Orange County multiple times, dont forget the sauce!

What really makes Cassidy's special, though, is the atmosphere. It's one of those rare bars where locals, visitors, regulars, and first timers all seem to fit right in. The conversations come easy, the staff makes you feel welcome, and every visit has the potential to become another great story.

As the founder of Beerslut, I can honestly say places like Cassidy's have inspired a lot of our blog stories and even some of our clothing designs just like Beachball & Baja Sharkies. It's a genuine neighborhood bar with personality, history, and the kind of authentic Newport Beach character that's becoming harder to find.
Its honestly my absolute favorite for a plethora of reasons.

If you're in Newport Beach and want to experience a real local institution dive bar instead of just another trendy spot, put Cassidy's Bar & Grill at the top of your list.“

“Best beef dip sandwich ever!!“

“I tried Wendy's years ago and honestly wasn't a fan, but I recently decided to give this location near my office another shot. I'm so glad I did, because now I can't stop going! While I haven't been inside the restaurant yet, the building looks brand new and meticulously clean from the outside. I strictly use the drive-thru, and the service is absolutely fantastic. The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and most importantly, they get my order 100% right every single time. It has quickly become my go-to spot for a reliable, delicious meal during the workweek. Highly recommend!“
