50 Best Burger Restaurants in Santa Ana

“Super cool vibes in here! Serrin, Osman, and Heather running the show. Flatty melt is killer!!!“

“We ordered the Gully Smash, it was 10/10
Do visit them and show them some love please. I do not know why they didn't show up on my search for halal restaurants to eat on google. But what a happy little surprise, we found them while looking for Mongiello's (another halal place at the same location)

Dietary restrictions: Halal food available.“

Because We Are Couple Together & We Love Each Other In Dinner Couple. & I Sit Next To My Darling.“

“First time there and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the Concha French toast and the crepes. But our waitress Sugey was horrible. We asked for another fork because we were only given one and she said she would bring us 1 and coffee. She took forever, she kept getting distracted. Then when she finally saw me looking at her, she remembered the fork but forgot the coffee. Few minutes later she came with the coffee and we said thank you and her tone was not a happy one. The place wasn't really that busy. The others waitresses were helpful and pleasant. So I put 1 star for service because of her. But everything else was good.“

“So let me tell you… me and my wife already had two items; the Nutella pancakes and the prosciutto and cucumber toast, and it was SO. DANG. GOOD… that we decided we’re going to keep on eating!! Just going to get crazy full and not eat for the rest of the day? I’m sitting here right now waiting for this incredible breakfast burger that’s coming. I talked to the owner who is very kind, and this is a family owned business with a lot of soul. However good you think the food will taste from the pictures, trust me… IT’S EVEN BETTER!!???‍??? and just got my burger and had a bite… HOOOLY SMOKES!! Some of the best food I’ve had!!??? if you’re thinking of coming to try this place… DO IT!!!“

“The BBQ bacon cheeseburger was really good. I didn't like the wings as much, in the future I'll just get the nuggets. But the mango habanero sauce was amazing and actually spicy I like the milkshakes here too. The only downside is that everything is kind of expensive for what it is. But the quality seems pretty good and its a big plus that they're open late. So I would eat here again! Updated from previous review on 2025-04-05“

“Was looking for a place near John Wayne airport. Food was delicious, and will return when in the area again.“

“Hidden Gems in Santa Ana!! Their noodles was super flavorful and very, very tender. And was surprised me wa their skewers, it’s not like any other skewers at the other places. The taste was very refreshing, but also flavorful. The whole restaurant was very clean and the staff was very very nice. Overall a great experience. Come to try if you are near the area.“

“We have visited this Restaurant since 2008. It is our children's favorite since they were little when the horse carousel existed. I remember that we had to call the employees to turn the carousel around. This place brings back good memories and is very familiar. We have just visited it. The flavors of the food are the same, the pancakes are the favorites and we are very happy to see the staff that works here, unfortunately there are certain details in the restaurant that need attention such as child seats occupying seat belts, also repairs such as The roof is affected in rainy weather, the bathrooms may need remodeling, but at the same time that is what makes it historic. We love this place and even more so the people who serve us with that skill. Thank you for your services and we will return again and again. time❤️

Vegetarian options: Pancakes, egg, potatoes

“It used to be that any problem with your order, the manager would invite you to come back and enjoy a burger on them... not so anymore. Went to pick up dinner, ordered through the app, groceries waiting in the car. Saw them begin to pack our order. Saw the guy behind the counter put my lettuce wrapped steak sandwich on the counter. Asked the lady in the red shirt if the onion rings were hot. She said they were. She put them in the bag and told me they were warm and encouraged me to check. Yes, they were warm, not hot like she initially assured me. Couldn't wait for hot one as there were cold items in my car. Got home, handed my husband his sandwich. Put groceries away, came back to discover some other chicken sandwich in the bag, my steak sandwich missing. Drove back with the receipt from the bag and the sandwich. The lady in red suggested it was my fault leaving with the wrong order. Not sure how that works. I didn't pack the bag. I had seen the guy put my sandwich on the counter. Just wanted my sandwich. She went behind the counter and said they would remake mine. Great. Waited. They remade the entire order which I didn't ask them to do. My husband had already eaten his dinner without me. They took the onion rings back and told me to just keep the other sandwich. I checked my steak sandwich and something seemed off but didn't realize until the first red light that it was missing the grilled onions (it was just steak and tomato in lettuce). Drove back. They gave me the side of grilled onion (the only part of our overall meal that was hot). Got home and showed my husband there was now an extra chicken sandwich... oh, wait, that he'll never eat because they mistakenly put cheese on it. Think it would have been better for them to just replace the one sandwich they got wrong and do it right than try to give us excess food that was prepared incorrectly. Used to go to this Habit quite often. Not sure they've gotten our order 100% correct in a long while. The customer care/service has also fallen off.“

“Went today with lovey for lunch... OMG you can taste the quality. Lovey had a pattymelt with zucchini I had a sourdough burger with cheddar jalapeno poppers. Nothing was greasy staff was so pleasant would recomend over any chain place yes even in and wait. Can't wait for our next visit Cheers“

“9/2024Location: Fairview Char-BroilerTime of day: Early EveningOrder: Cheeseburger ComboPaid $12.12Dined-In.Great service from the cashierWait time: About 8 minutesGood presentation, since you dine in… they bring it to you. Simple Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato and sauce. It comes with what seems like 2-pounds of fresh French fries. Nice and hot. They got Pepsi products and I went with a Dr. Pepper. It’s not Self-Serve, but they will do it for you if you’re a paying customer.…Dining room was not busy. Plenty of seating room. They have condiments on the tables, so make sure you got what you need to eat (ketchup, salt, hot sauce, etc.) They have Soups, a variety of Specials and Breakfast is served ALL DAY! A definite Plus for me!Restaurant was clean.Parking lot had some light debris, plenty of parking around the restaurant though.Restrooms do need love. It looks like someone graffitied the inside the men’s room and it just got cleaned up. A plumber probably needs to be called too. That flush valve should get replaced.Will come back“

“Great food!!!! we had churo French toast combo. 😋😍yummy“

“Ordered a teriyaki platter with brown rice. For the 14 bucks, it was kinda small. I'm sure they could fit more on that to go platter. I think they are too busy trying to make it look pretty. But that's just fat me. I gotta admit, it was really good. My kids both ordered chicken burgers with fried. They loved their burgers. My boy ordered the medium spicy, and it kicked his butt.The cash register doesn't have a bright screen you could easily see. So you don't know how much your spending. Is just a touch pad that says, 'insert card here'. I usually just do a couple of bucks into the bucket but today. I said let's push on that 15% tip. It was like $6 something??? A whole other burger. That's the last time I do that.“

“good not bad have good service“

“very delicious food large variety have different kinds of hamburgers chicken and mouth-watering desserts“

“I ordered the pastrami burger add bacon with no tomato Even tho I still got tomatoes The burger was delicious Keep in mind I don’t like tomato Highly recommend this place Definitely coming back for breakfast next time Since it’s all day breakfast“

“Daniella was such a great help. She was friendly and helpful. She made the experience 100x better. The Carl's Jr. has affordable prices. It doesn't take long to get my food. The whole experience made me want to come back again.

Parking: The parking lot is close to the store so it wasn't hard to find parking.

Kid-friendliness: The meals for kids is a perfect amount.“

“Farmer Boys has a simple menu, and do what they do well. Had a club sandwich tonight, which was very good, and wifey and I shared onion rings which were just perfect. We've not had any problems here, and come around regularly.“

“The food was very good and they fast service and not expensive..,I order a chicken tender the combo with fries and drink it’s was delicious 😍“

“The food was good the service was good for the most part order a soda wasn’t told there was no ice they let a lot of people from outside hang out inside that used drugs right outside I just seen someone come inside and buy drugs the food is good that all I can say“

“Really solid Greek diner with the food that you expect from a place like this. Really delicious Onion Rings, a solid burger (with that classic spread and bun that I love from a Diner like this), and a good sandwich. Pepsi products. I'll be back.

Parking: Easy to park with lots of spaces around the building.“

“Came for an event and the amount of food and the quality was okay nothing special. Ordered the fish fillet basically something taken from the frozen section triangle fish dipped in batter Frozen and they need to fry it there on site same with the french fries nothing “

“The manager David at this location during the evening time, was very thorough and all around pleasant to help me at the window. I’m an annoying customer asking for extra sauce on the side that comes in a hamburger and not a usual condiment and David was so nice and didn’t care that I had asked or acted like I was taking it from his own personal stash. Thank you David and this Carl’s Jr is always having nice employees to order from and see at the window. Thank you guys 🫶🏼“

“Let me start out by saying the burgers were delicious! TK Burgers hosted a company lunch for us and we were not disappointed. Tristen and Saul went above and beyond to meet our needs. The fries were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were all fresh. We will definitely be using them for future events.“

“Road on through as a truck driver gotta say hands-down this is a very good place to stop. Food is very delicious and tasty very fresh. Got me the breakfast burrito with bacon eggs beans, and potatoes worth the money loved every bite. Salsa is very tasty. Also, the restaurant is very clean extremely clean exceptionally clean the staff are very polite respectful honestly when I say this, this place is a very good establishment. Gotta give it up to the morning staff manager. You got a good team there thank you guys. I will definitely be back when I deliver out here again.

Parking: Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏽“

“I have been going here for years, usually once a week. Customer service is good, nothing spectacular though, everyone's pretty friendly and attentive. It's one of the few places left in Santa Ana where you can go and have a burger and fries almost street side, I will warn you that there's only 2 or 3 tables, outside dining only, very small space. We always like to sit and watch cars and people go by.My family and I love their big steak cut fries, they're always hot, fresh and made to order. Plus, they aren't too much $$. They serve them individually, each in their own paper bag, packed with extra salt packets, napkins and plenty of ketchup packets. Worth the price, in my opinion. The burgers are good too but I suggest you don't go too late in the day, bcuz they're not so fresh once the sun goes down. Unfortunately this has been my experience, recently. I did call and complain about getting old cold, rubbery patties that were so chewy that my little boys couldn't eat them, and they promised to replace them (they have a little book to write down customer complaints, and stuff they promised to replace along with customers name and number, date of Purchase, ect.) but when my husband showed up a week later to get the burgers replaced, the guy who was working there, (also the same guy who we spoke to on the phone and promised to replace those nasty burgers), says that we took too long to get them and he removed the offer from the book!! (Short little Mexican dude) Sorry I don't remember his name anymore. Really guys??? Really Bad business!! This recently happened to us twice, since then we ask, in advance that our patties are made fresh, to avoid this from happening again. If you have an issue with cold hard food and you don't have money to just throw away, I suggest you check your food before you leave, ask for freshly made patties or just don't go too late in the day guys or you're likely to receive warming drawer meat, that's been there for a long time!! Oh also, I sometimes order grilled cheese for my kids but the way they make them is terrible! They were like warm cheese sandwiches, no buttery golden bread or melted cheese. They were nasty, I had to ask for them to be custom made, extra toasted and please butter the bread. After they made it my way, it was perfect! Hope it helps someone out there! This has only been my experience recently, for the most part, they do pretty good. Thanks for taking the time to read my post guys!!!

Vegetarian options: Grilled cheeseSaladsFrench Fries

Parking: The restaurant sits right in the center of a big parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: They have lots of kid friendly foods.If you have little ones you might want to keep them seated close to you, or in their stroller or car seat since the tables are right next to the parking lot and the sidewalk and street is very close to their tables.“

“I had an incredible experience at the Carl's Jr. in Garden Grove, all thanks to Jesus!
From the moment I walked in, his warm and welcoming attitude made me feel right at home. Jesus went above and beyond to ensure my order was perfect, and the food was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. His customer service skills are truly exceptional, and you can tell he takes pride in his work. If you're in the area and craving some tasty food, this is the place to go-Jesus and the team will take great care of you. Highly recommend!“

“nice well done charbroiled burgers🔥. the breakfast in also 🔥 try it one day“

“la supervisora excelente persona muy amable grasias carmen“

“The restaurant was super clean and organized! Everything was in place, the beverage bar was very nice and tidy. The food was amazing! Burgers are really delicious too! I ordered a santa fe chicken and let me tell you it was delicious! I will definitely be coming back here because they offer great service. The manager and employees are very nice, always checking up on you to see if everything if good. Very satisfied with my visit, thank you Carl’s Jr team! ⭐️“

“The food was great for the baconator they hardly put in a bacon when it should have a lot of bacon at least more than 3pieces I would say. The biggie bag for my son I had 2 order xtra chicken nuggets since I just had 4 and they weren't cooked right they're really likes mushy I was going 2 go back but that was a long drive when. And for the frosty's u have to ask vanilla& chocolate mixed 2gether cuz they just have it in 1 it's either vanilla or chocolate but if u want both of them mixed you just go ahead & ask for it. The cashier a skinny female the one right here on on Chapman & State college was a little b I was talking 2 her in a polite respectful way she rolled her eyes at me and I also had a receipt 4rm the night b4 there was a hair on my burger and tht manager told me 2 come bck the next day so she tells me that I have to come when tht mngr there, and so I ask when would he and her response was I can't tell you it's personal,Really?Am I suppose 2 guess and come.(Rude)“

“Muy buena comida Sobre todo 3 meat 3 cheese“

“Had an absolutely amazing experience at IHOP today! The service was beyond exceptional. Our waitress was so attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed with a smile. It’s rare these days to find people who genuinely care about their customers, but she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and appreciated.

The manager also took the time to check in on us, making sure everything was perfect. It’s clear they care about creating a wonderful experience for their guests. In a world where great service can be hard to find, IHOP absolutely nailed it. We felt valued and taken care of from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back! ?“

“Used to enjoy coming here but recently there food has been declining. Chicken used to taste like it was actually grilled and would be very favorable. Now its taste frozen and has this wierd after taste. Their rice is a bit to chewy.Update* Huge improvement since last time I came. Which ever cook you have now, keep him. Food was amazing once again. Would come back anytime“

“Leo’s crispy chicken tacos are my absolute FAVORITE!!! All his food is Delicious! I definitely look forward to lunchtime! 😋“

“Love love love. Owners are super nice, prices are reasonable. I love everything I’ve ordered. I eat almost every daily special, except for Friday’s fish taco special because I don’t like fish. Otherwise, I’ve had so many of their menu items and even some of there specialty foods they randomly make in small batches that they sell as ready-to-go (like their homemade potato salad). Love it!!!

Vegetarian options: They have options like their garden burger, potato salad, regular fries and onion rings. There may be more options but those are the ones I know.

Parking: Parking lot is paid, but if you get free monthly parking because you work in the buildings next door then it’s great, because there is plenty of parking, it’s just a bit confusing.
Entry and exit are one-way. When you enter you go only through the C & D sections, & you have to keep turning left to keep going up the levels. If you ever turn right on any level toward the exit sign you’ll be forced to keep going through the A & B sections downward until you exit and have to start over.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s on the ground floor right by the parking lot. It looks like there should be no issue for wheelchair users to access. No ramp necessary for entry as there are no steps.“

“The cheeseburger tasted like a Big Mac, decent but not my favorite. I might need to come back for the 3' burrito though. The cashier was great and the vibe was good. Saw a lot of people eating breakfast so I'm sure that's good.“

“They have great and good excellent customer service….“
