Best meal we've had all week. The fries were just the right amount of crispy!

Pono Burger was everything I didn’t know I needed on a sunny afternoon in Santa Monica. I stopped in craving something casual but high quality, and the whole experience delivered—especially thanks to Dylan, who was genuinely one of the most professional and welcoming staff members I’ve encountered in a long time. He greeted me with a smile, answered all my questions about the menu, and helped me pick the Paniolo burger, which ended up being a perfect choice—smoky, sweet, and absolutely loaded with flavor. The grass-fed beef was tender and cooked exactly right, and the sweet potato fries on the side were crispy and addictive. The atmosphere was laid-back but stylish, and everything felt clean and thoughtfully presented. Dylan checked in just enough to make sure I was all set without ever being pushy. It’s the kind of place where the food is great, but the people make it even better.

Great burger at Pono! Cant recommend enough this restaurant. Definitely will come back to try others. I got the spicy burger which was excellent and definitely had a kick. Only negative was I felt the sides were priced a bit too high. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great burger in Santa Monica.

I was charged $19.24 for a turkey burger and fries and the food wasn’t good at all! The patty was obviously previously frozen and tasted like they added liquid smoke to give it the charbroiled taste effect. They didn’t even fill the fries up to the brim of the bag. When I mentioned this to the employee, she said they “measure it out to 5 oz.” Not worth the price. Definitely my first and last time at this establishment.

PB is a quirky and fun restaurant with great burgers and service. I also liked the unique dining room shaped like a mini airplane hangar but with comfortable seating.
I also had a milkshake that was excellent and side of fried cauliflower.
Service was great by Jackie.

Burgers for champions... excellent preparation and they prepare the meats to your liking.
I visited this restaurant because it had a good reputation. It wasn't that special. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, but there were no staff in the eating area, and you couldn't take small orders unless someone came. Salad bowls seem to be more popular in Santa Monica right now. Around $50 for two people including a hamburger, drink, and French fries.
