28 Best Burger Restaurants in Ventura

“Food is great and best sunsets over the ocean“

“I live in Branson,MO but when I come to CA. I have to eat there as much as possible.“

“Ate here today as a quick bite and just to try something we hadn’t had before, In short- it was amazing. As soon as we walked in it did look a little empty, (seemed like they weren’t super busy when we went in) but we were quickly greeted by a polite young man who helped us place our order, i would like to note that $13 for a really really really good smash burger, fresh french fries that were perfectly crisp and a soda is probably the best price we have paid for a meal in ventura in so long, not to mention the size of the burger was probably as big as my face. The food was made fresh and quickly and brought to our table, we were offered a wide variety of condiments such as ketchup, ranch, mustard, etc. As soon as we saw the burgers we knew they would satisfy our craving. Honestly, Mr.chubbys is probably the best burger i have had in a VERY LONG TIME. So juicy and flavorful, not to mention their brioche buns were something out of my dreams. If you’re ever in Ventura and need a quick bite that was full you up and satisfy you, Mr. Chubbys smash burger is the place to go!

Kid-friendliness: Lots of jr burger options and sandwich options.“

“Amazing corn burritos! Highly recommend :)“

“Red Robin earns a solid 4 stars in my book — it’s a consistently fun, casual place to eat with good food, friendly service, and a family-friendly atmosphere that still works well for teens and adults who just want a laid-back meal. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with that classic diner-meets-modern-sports-bar vibe, with bright red booths, TVs playing sports or random trivia, and the smell of burgers in the air that kind of makes you hungrier than you thought you were. The menu is big, with lots of burger options, from classic to wild (pineapple and teriyaki, anyone?), and everything feels customizable — you can swap patties, remove toppings, or go with a lettuce wrap if you’re trying to be healthier, which I appreciate.

The bottomless fries are a huge win — crispy, well-seasoned, and super addicting, and if you ask, they’ll bring you more without hesitation. Their milkshakes are thick and indulgent, and the freckled lemonade is still a fan favorite. It’s not exactly “gourmet” food, but it’s good quality for the price, and portions are generous. They also have options beyond burgers — like salads, chicken sandwiches, and even vegetarian and gluten-free dishes — so there’s usually something for everyone.

Service tends to be friendly and pretty quick, though depending on how busy it is, you might have to wait a bit for refills or extra fries — nothing major, but it’s worth noting if you’re on a tight schedule. The restaurant is also family-oriented, so you’ll often hear kids laughing or the occasional birthday song from across the dining room, which is fun for some people and a bit much for others depending on the mood. Still, it doesn’t take away from the experience — it just adds to that casual, all-ages vibe they’re going for.

Overall, Red Robin isn’t trying to be super fancy, and that’s exactly why it works — it’s comfortable, tasty, and dependable, especially when you’re craving a big burger and fries in a setting where you don’t have to dress up or feel rushed. A few minor things (like noise or wait times during rush hours) keep it from being five stars, but I’d still definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a chill, satisfying meal with friends or family.“

“We started our honeymoon off by having breakfast here, and we were so glad we found this place, because everything all the way down to the preserves was made homemade. Nothing compares to homemade.“

“lace to get a bomb hamburger“

“Today was my first time giving Happy Place Eatery Food Truck a try, Great fast service, super friendly staff. I gotta say the smash burgers are rich, juicy, and full of delicious flavor and the fries are so crispy and yummy with ranch. Hands Down!!! Follow Your Tastebuds“

“Everything is perfect 😍 Always I go to the Finney’s in Westlake for dinner 🍲 I love this restaurant 🤩“

“Ruff House BBQ is the hands down the best BBQ around. I am a professional chef and a foodie and have very high standards when it comes down to dining out. I have never been let down by Ruff House. From their meats, and sauces to their specials and staff, everything is 10/10 every time.

I am a Ventura local who has lived here over 20 years, and I am SO thankful for amazing BBQ right down the street. Can’t wait for their new location to open in the Gasworks building!!!!!“

“Great spot! We tried the Black Ball stout. It was good. I got the bellringer smash burger and husband got the corndog. We got garlic frys too. Everything was so good!!! Highly recommend Bellringer Brea co. Our bartender was great super nice“

“Came here on a recommendation from a friend. Wow! I had the pesto veggie sandwich w fries. Kevin had the Italian w Onion rings. The sandwiches are HUGE! The veggie sandwich had spinach, avocado, cheese, cucumber, tomato and spinach pesto. Sooo good! If you are in Ventura or coming up for a visit you must go Here!“

“The staff was friendly and very fast. I had the fish and chips. It was excellent, one of the best I have had. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“I travel every year for 90 days at a time.
I sure miss Tommy's Burger the whole time.
My suggestion is to expand your locations all across the US.
Why not sell franchise's,
So I can get these Great Cheese Burgers in every state of the USA.
Everyone that visits me from out of the LA area,
I make it a point to introduce them to Tommy's Burgers and everyone falls in love with them.
And they all insist that they stop by Tommy's Burgers for a final Double Cheeseburger, before the fly out of town.“

“I have just left a message to speak with the district manager. Tere and Ana, who take the orders, have really good customer service. Tere in particular is VERY sweet. I was able to request to speak with the cook, Maria, and I thanked her for my orders always being hot and delicious. Carl's blows Jack out of the water. Every single time I come to this Carl's the fries are fresh. I work nights, so the only rough part is they close at midnight. These 3 LADIES seem to take actual pride in their work, and their efforts and service make my food taste even more delicious and I look forward to rolling up to the window. You have something special going on at this store, sir. I hope that it can continue to be cultivated, and properly appreciated. Thank you very much to you all, and God bless you.“

“It was great all around. Nice outdoor patio... food was delicious and the Bloody Mary so refreshing.“

“Great live music with local musicians“

“I absolutely love IHOP! We came here on our last day in California before heading home, and as soon as we walked in, I knew we were going to enjoy it. The menu has a great variety, and we ordered omelettes, pancakes, and waffles. I especially appreciated that each coffee order came with its own jug, so convenient, and they were generous with the milk too.

The pancakes were honestly the best I’ve ever had. It was sooo fluffy and moist, I finished the whole plate. The omelettes were delicious as well. I was genuinely happy dining here. Service was excellent. Well done to the team, amazing job!“

“This is my place to get hamburgers sandwiches and salads very very tasty you can't go wrong if you haven't try it Eddie's grill is the best way to go I highly recommend it..

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible no doubt.“

“Outside dining here only, unless your in a trailer at the rv park. Throughly enjoyed pizza one day for dinner and a few days later a burger for lunch while we were camped here. Great spot for beach eats.

“The ladies were very helpful in guiding me thru ordering in the app feature . It was such a treat to finally be blessed with employees who genuinely care about the customer and making sure that I had a great experience in this restaurant. I'll definitely come again“

“I stopped by for a quick lunch and was really impressed! Sammy and Cristian were both super friendly and made sure everything was perfect with my order. The restaurant was very clean, and my chicken tenders were fresh, hot and juicy. Fries were crispy and seasoned just right. Will definitely be back great service all around!“

“Loved everything about it. Can't remember the bartenders name but the tattooed dude was excellent. Anyone know his name?“

“They have best Brussel sprouts in Ventura and we try a lot of brussels sprouts. Their margaritas are excellent as well especially the cucumber jalapeño Margie.“

“Good taste, but prices are becoming outrageous. Employees are usually nice, although sometimes seem unsure of things. I don't mind if they take a little extra time to clarify th8ngs with me or as a supervisor about something...that's a part of learning. It bothers me when they ask specifically how much of something I'd like and then don't accommodate. Then DON'T ASK?
Overall, I'd still rate pretty high for fast food.“
