“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.“

“Delicious burgers, they are my children's favorites, we always go there, good service
Just one comment, I don't like you when we go to order computers at the counter, it's not the same as having a person serve you, it would be better as before if someone served you and ordered as you like without repeating yourself.
Thanks the best Carl Jr“

“The only thing is that the medium coffee is quite expensive from my point of view...$3.96 Even if it is just one coffee...

Wheelchair accessibility: If someone arrives with a family member in a wheelchair, they can enter the restaurant.“

“In-N-Out Burger isn’t just a fast-food joint — it’s a California institution, and for good reason. From the moment you roll up to the red-and-white storefront, there’s a nostalgic charm that immediately sets the tone. The menu is refreshingly simple: burgers, fries, shakes. But don’t let that minimalism fool you — every bite delivers a masterclass in quality and consistency.

The star of the show is the Double-Double: two perfectly seasoned patties, gooey American cheese, crisp lettuce, tomato, and that iconic spread, all hugged by a soft toasted bun. It’s fresh, never frozen, and you can taste the difference. Want to take it further? Go “Animal Style” from the not-so-secret menu — grilled onions, extra spread, and mustard-cooked patties take it to another level.

The fries are hand-cut on-site and best enjoyed hot and fresh. Pair them with a creamy, real-ice-cream shake and you’ve got the quintessential In-N-Out experience. The staff is always friendly, the service impressively fast, and the prices feel like a throwback in the best way.

In-N-Out doesn’t need gimmicks. It wins with quality, tradition, and timeless flavor. It’s more than a burger — it’s a bite of West Coast soul.“

“Burger as its best! you get what you expect. Friendly staff and super clean restaurant!“

“Excellent and swift service!“

“Came in on busy July 4th and service was impeccable! The staff were extremely friendly, food came out fast and it was perfect. My family was down at the beach, I came over and got burgers and fries for everyone. The zucchini fries were amazing!! Thank you for working on the holiday!“

“Stopped here yesterday with a bunch of hungry Harley riders the staff was super cool & friendly my hamburger was out of this world now that’s what I call a hamburger & fast service we all left a good tip for the hardworking staff I gotta hit this spot again soon“

“I am not a vegan but I must say that this restaurant is the best food I have had in a long time. The service was great and the ambience very nice. The food amazing !!!“

“The place has the best, most fresh, tasting burgers I have eaten in a while. The hamburgers actually taste like hamburgers. Vegies are very fresh, patties are cooked to perfection. The buns are soft and good sized. The place has a good, mellow vibe. The prices are very affordable. $13 por a hamburger combo. My new to go place for burguers.“

“I have been getting food her since I was a little boy, and there is nothing in lake forest that compares to it for me. I find my self craving their burgers whenever I’m away from home. Their pancake breakfast reminds me of my childhood, the soft sweet buttery pancakes melting in your mouth and stuffing your stomach. You’re always guaranteed to leave burger town with a full stomach. They’re a staple in the community.“

“I love this place! I am on an anti-inflammatory diet and this is one of the few places I can eat. Double bonus - they serve grass fed beef, which is the only beef I can have. Their burgers are one of the best I have ever had. My personal favorite is the California Burger. It is amazing!

Dietary restrictions: They have grass fed beef, which is perfect for anti-inflammatory diet.“

“Wow!! What a difference new ownership and a remodel have made. My wife mentioned this place, I retorted, what a dump.... don't go in the bathrooms. This place has changed and all for the better. She had the waffles and we came back for more. The original owner Pete Katsimientas (sp) woud be proud. They even keep his Pete's Burger the quality of which dropped off with the previous owner. I will try the Pete's Burger again next trip there.“

“Burgers Are Always The Bomb Diggity“

“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!“

“Matt, Michelle, and sons have been winning over the hearts of many locals and travelers like my wife and I for ten years. The ambiance and beautifully designed facilities boasts a spacious interior and exterior accommodations for cozy couples to larger groups. An amazing and diverse menu with a great wine, beer, and craft cocktails selection can exceed even the most particular palate. Personal recommendations include the prime rib or tomahawk steak champagne brunch or the terrific eggs Benedict. The chicken and waffles also became a fan favorite. The burgers are scrumptious and the fish is phenomenal. The steaks and... okay, everything is worth a try. (Don't forget to try some of their own homemade salsa with the appropriate menu items. They have many other homemade products available so give them a try). Just when you thought it couldn't get better. Matt has an outdoor extension project in progress that will accommodate additional bar, dining and music venue. This is hands down my favorite restaurant in California. Hoping that it becomes yours too! Cheers“

“Our food was outstanding and came out very quickly! I was so impressed with the staff. They hustled and were very friendly. I could tell that one was an owner by his level of care for me and each guest, but he was doing it all!

Bravo team, and thank you for the wonderful dining experience!“

“Their food is always delicious!! My fav is the teriyaki char burger & sweet potato fries are the bomb“

“This was my first time there. The burger and fries were pretty good. The lady putting the orders out wasn't that friendly. We got a text that our food was ready and went up to get it, and she said "no, I'll call your number out when it's ready." Kind of insinuating we were stupid for coming up for the order... when we were texted to do so. Anyway, not a big deal, but she didn't have to have an attitude about it.“

“I don’t usually expect standout service at a fast food spot, but Kain at Tommy’s Burger absolutely went above and beyond. I came in with my family—including a couple of very picky eater kids—and let’s just say, our order wasn’t exactly simple.

When we needed a refire on one of the burgers (not their fault, just one of the kids being extra particular), Kain handled it with patience and a smile. He made sure everything came out right and checked back in to make sure we were happy.

You could tell he actually cared about giving great service, and that made a big difference for us. It turned a quick meal into a really pleasant experience.

Kain, thanks for taking care of my crew—you’re a rockstar! 🙌 Tommy’s is lucky to have you.“

“Pure Burger is a top notch spot, that has always focused on providing amazing service. I’ve been there countless times, and each time leave satisfied with the best quality burger around. Super grateful to have them as part of our local community!“

“The Chili Fries, and the Stand Burger is the Best.“

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

“The food is very tasty, good presentation! delicious 😋“

“Food wasn’t bad, the A5 Wagyu burger was underwhelming, however blue cheese burger and wings and Truffle fries were good
Be careful you automatically get charged 3$ if you just touch the iPad
Though it is written on it however we didn’t know that just by trying a silly tik tak tok game just twice for fun we were charged 3$ on the bill!!!
It didn’t feel right at all!!“

“Great customer service. Well oiled machine. Friendly staff. Great food. Attentive manager. 1/30/2021, 3pm“

“🙂Excellent Door Dash option for our little upstate NY town!“

“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!“

“What an amazing burger spot! The patio is absolutely beautiful, the servers and wait staff were sweet and helpful and the food was DELICIOUS. Big huge burgers and chicken sandwiches, my wife loved the sweet potato fries, I devoured my parm fries - all the food was extremely good. The pricing is very fair too, especially considering most restaurant prices these days. Instead of spending $30 for mid food at one of the big corps in the plaza, just spend $40 here and get waaaaay better food that'll actually fill you up. My only complaint is that the fry portions were pretty small, but that's a little thing compared to the tasty eats.“

“Great Burgers! Staff told me it's the best in America (Google it). I got the double with BBQ sauce and Bacon. The onion rings were also some of the best I've ever had.
Ariel gave some of the best customer service I've ever had at a fast food restaurant. Will definitely be back!“

“Docent is Decent. Got me a Mouthful of Church on Time, 8.2 DIPA. Lisa has a Peel Top.“

“My sister and I were at the food court at The Shoppes at Mission Viejo and spotted Smashburger! We were so excited as we Love Smashburger!
I had a regular smashburger and she had the smashturkey burger. We chose the organic lemonade for our beverage. Our lunch was delicious.“

“Great service, Jack was super welcoming and made sure we were enjoying the time there.“

“This is a great place to grab some lunch or Ice cream. Really nice patio and table area. Nice view and vibe..

Kid-friendliness: When the kids get hungry bring them here.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's easy access for everyone.“

“I have been on a kick to go out of my way to support small businesses. I’ve driven by Royal Donuts and Burger when I drive my teenage daughter to/fro work on the weekends, but have never stopped by. Today, I decided to take her and my two other kids there to lunch after I picked her up from work.

It was easy to find a parking spot. I noticed two other cars in their drive thru while we walked up to the store. We ordered the Royal Burger pound burger with all of the fixings (lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo or ketchup), french fries, a 16 oz drink and your choice of either a cake or glazed donut. You can also make it a cheeseburger or a double cheeseburger. I got mine with cheese, one kid got one with ketchup only, and another kid chose a double cheeseburger with Swiss cheese and mayo and ketchup only. I asked if they could grill the onions for my burger and they said yes. We were there later in the afternoon, so we chose 2 glazed donuts and 1 chocolate cake donut from what was available. We ordered two Cokes from the fountain dispenser, an iced coffee (for an up charge with the combo) and also grabbed two chocolate milks from the self serve beverage coolers.

I was really impressed with the variety in the beverage cooler! I took a picture to post with my review.

We waited a short amount of time for our food. Maybe 5-10 minutes? It was really quick. And very delicious! The hamburgers are in sesame seed buns and remind you what a 1/4 pound burger should look like. The French fries were steak cut and perfectly salted and hot! For the price you pay, the combo was definitely worth it! The donuts were tasty, and a great dessert after the meal.

I’m definitely coming back to try their other products. They accept cash and card. I think there is a minimum of $6 to use a card, but no additional surcharge like other places.“

“we are visiting and just happened upon this little spot for a quick lunch. the service is top notch and the burgers are amazing!“

“Calidad en el servicio y atención al cliente“

“Located inside Walmart with limited seating for larger groups. Service in the morning and early afternoon is good and food is prepared fresh, but occasionally a little slow. Smaller menu than most stand-alone locations (i.e. very small value menu).“

“Wow! Super yum to say the least. It’s always great when the new local restaurant hits it out of the park! My wife & I started with the bacon & meatballs appetizer. She then had the fried green tomatoes & French onion soup while I had the ribeye. Delicious!“

“I want to give a shoutout to Aida for her great service! Even though it was busy, she made sure my order came out fast and accurate. The food was fresh and hot, and she was friendly and professional the whole time. Really appreciated her effort during such a busy time!“

“Best in class. Green bean fries are the bomb!“

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

“We love their breakfast burger? It’s actually the only breakfast my son likes. We went in and they told us they no longer serve the breakfast burger all day. Today I went to San Juan and Eddie said they actually do serve them all day and the San Juan Carl’s Jr got it done for our family. I’m not sure why San Clemente is no longer doing it all day. Armando and Alex are always very helpful at San Clemente but they were not there the day I was told they don’t make them.“
