24 Best Burger Restaurants near Scotts Valley

“Food was fresh, staff were polite and they actually asked what sauce we wanted for chicken nuggets whereas McDonalds usually makes you tell them and if you forget they won't follow up when they hand over your order. Store was clean and well stocked. I was very happy with my visit!“

“Am I proud that I occasionally get this 950 calorie Cali XL double cheeseburger? No I am not, but it is delish! The two ladies and one young man who work there are the nicest fast food staff in Scotts Valley, so I have to give them some respect back. They make a mean breakfast burrito as well. Most of the time they are not that busy, so do not expect the fastest service, but they are perfectly on time if you order ahead online. Always friendly and smiling. Gracias!“

“I've always gotten good service at this location. What I've had more issues with is the Jack App!
And now I can't add jalapenos to my customized breakfast sandwich. That impacts how often I splurge to eat breakfast out.“

“I’m not usually a McDonald’s fan for unknown reasons but I really wanted some McNuggets one night. I went through the drive through, asked if they could cook a fresh 20pc and they happily did! Another night not long after, I had learned the quarter pounder patties are fresh and never frozen. I got a double and wow, it was insanely good for the money relative to their more expensive competition such as Habit or 5 guys etc. Nice clean place worthy of Scotts Valley. Please note, both visits were not during rush times so who knows…..“

“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!“

“Churchills is amazing.“

“My husband and I had a great breakfast I got a breakfast burrito and a frittata. Both were very good and big great food for a great price and the customer service was amazing.“

“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.“

“It’s always nice to have an abundance of options on a menu, and Pretty Good Advice delivered here. I got one of the vegan breakfast sandwiches and a friend and I shared the Brussels sprouts and the cucumber sides. All good! Updated from previous review on 2026-09-05“

“As a musician playing the part of Jack Bruce, the bass player of Cream, we had a great experience on stage. The lighting was perfect. The atmosphere was over the top and the audience was a very participating dancing audience. A great place to make new friends. Rob Wullenjohn as Eric Clapton , Phil Sollar as Ginger Baker, and myself, Phil Zamora as Jack Bruce“

“Food is delicious. Service was top notch. Staff is extremely friendly.“

“Very good food, service is quick and friendly.“

“Overall decent burger in Abbott Square Market. A lot of creative options, and plenty of seating. I'm not sure I'd call this the best burger I've had, or even the best in the area, but it hit the spot for what we were looking for at the time.

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

“Taste great. Friendly Staff. Enjoyed having Birthday dinner with our daughter who turned 20 yrs old. Yummy“

“Georgie's Cook House is located within Roaring Camp. The menu had great selection of burgers, fries, hotdogs and icecream. They also have a vegan burger which is also suitable for vegetarians. We bought the chicken tenders, fries and burger. We were able to order them individually or as a combo which comes with fries and canned soda. The orders are taken at the front side of the restaurant facing the tracks and we picked up at the window in the side. Table and seating is available but they aren't sufficient enough for even a small crowd. Management should look into this and make some more seating available. There is a digital display that shows your order number when ready. Payment can be made via cash or card. Mobile payments are accepted however, the area doesn't have a good cell reception. The ordering and pickup system is well organized. However, the person who takes the order is little slow which makes the line move slowly. People from the beach train have a layover time constraint of 1 hour. So, a faster ordering system would make it more effective.“

“Top of the line Food thats forsure“

“It's an old fashioned burger joint right by the beach. For some it is a traditional stop when leaving the nearby beach.“

“Best Philly Cheesesteak west of the Mississippi! They rock!!! Try an Apple Fritter too. They are killer!!!“

“Absolutely the best crab sandwich I’ve ever had!

Seaside Fish and Chowder at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is a hidden gem that every seafood lover needs to visit. I stopped by on a whim and ended up having one of the most memorable meals of my trip.

Their crab sandwich is out of this world—sweet, fresh crab meat served on perfectly grilled sourdough from Sumano’s Bakery, crisped in butter until golden. The flavors were perfectly balanced, rich, and comforting without being heavy. You can taste the freshness.

The staff was friendly, the service was quick even with a crowd, and the location can’t be beat—right near the beach, with that classic Boardwalk vibe.

Highly recommend grabbing a crab sandwich (and maybe a bowl of chowder too!) and enjoying it while watching the waves. This place is a must-stop when you're in Santa Cruz!“
