11 Best Burger Restaurants in Santa Cruz

“Great burger with such unique bacon jam, great flavor and the bun was soft and had a little crisp to it! Best Brussel sprouts I’ve ever had in my life! Wonderful flavors and vibe! Excellent music playlist too! Interesting little spot, will come back again!“

“Jack's has been around as long as I can remember. The best French Fries anywhere! Old fashioned burgers made to order the way you want them. Always fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. If burgers are not your thing try the chicken or salmon sandwiches. I've never had a bad meal here and always appreciate the excellent service.“

Pricey, but not a bad burger by any means. Overall solid!“
