The Best Burgers in Anaheim

Hammer Burger

★★★★★ 4.6 (608) • $$

"Hammer Burger is one of my favorite smash burger spots, and the UNLIMITED house-made sauces are a game-changer! They have an amazing selection, but the garlic sauce is the best--so, so good on both the burger and fries.I always get the Original Burger and the Hammer Fries with the grilled onions well-done for extra caramelized goodness. The staff is super chill and friendly. Pro tip: Park in the 4th Street structure (it's usually free) and check out their 20% off happy hour.Highly recommend stopping by for a delicious smash burger and perfectly crispy fries!"

Fuji's Famous Burger

★★★★☆ 4.2 (762) • $

"Some of the best burgers in HB!! Been coming here since I was a small child and they still don't disappoint. 5 out of 5"

Fireside Tavern

★★★★☆ 4 (229) • $$

"Awesome food, drinks and service. We got drinks, crab cake bites, burgers and desserts."

John's Philly Grille

★★★★☆ 4.3 (651) • $$

"My friend had a need for a sub sandwich at lunch today. I immediately brought him to our favorite sandwich in Surf City! The Philly Grill!Zack was manning the order window at noon today. That guy is really good at providing the very best customer service and entertaining show! He may be the best in the business.His performance was just as good as the fabulous sandwich's John's Philly Grill is famous for. I ordered the number 5, and a half order of their famous fries. My friend got his submarine.It really was perfection!"

Peter's Gourmade Burgers

★★★★★ 4.5 • $$

"We were craving burgers and saw that this place had some raving reviews and let me just say, the 5 stars are all true. I got the ABC burger and I can eat quite a bit and I thought it was filling. The meat was perfectly cooked and with a burger that big with bacon to not feel that oily is insane. Usually I feel gross after eating gourmet burgers, but kudos to them for helping me feel full without the addition of oil sickening. The place is a little cramped because where you order is also right next to the front entrance, but the place has a very rustic cafe vibe which I enjoyed."

Tacburg

★★★★☆ 4.4 (54) • $$

"Visiting Tacburg made our day. I was apprehensive because usually when food is so visually appealing, it lacks flavor. When I bit into the Skeletor Taco, I knew that Tacburg had the visual AND flavor locked down. A rare accomplishment.The food alone was worth the drive from L.A. proper. The service was the cherry on top. John was so hospitable. We look forward to returning!"

Burger Boss

★★★★☆ 4.1 (588) • $$

"Big props to Anthony!!! Super friendly and knowledgeable guy! We ordered the ultimate Boss and original Boss with onions two ways. The ultimate Boss had so much flavor. Two patties, chipotle mayo and pepper jack cheese, (what a combo!) The original Boss was phenomenal. The beef had a nice crispy edge, American cheese, and Boss sauce. The fries and chicken bites were yummy. The fries were fresh-cut goodness! Their shakes are a must order!! We ordered one chocolate shake, then ordered a second chocolate shake. Lots of tables here. They have a few TVs and self ordering kiosks, when it gets busy. This is our new burger spot, can definitely taste the freshness and quality ingredients."

Habit Burger & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (547) • $$

"The manager is very friendly and helpful. The cheeseburger is my favorite. I also like the green beans, but I wish they would bring back the Sriracha sauce."

The Potholder Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"Very nice experience! Food large portions , service is fast and the people are kind . We sat on the patio and it was nice and calm . The Bronx"

TK Burgers

★★★★☆ 3.6 (706) • $

"Review 6 of 2025I was running out of time so I ordered just the cheese burger with cup of water. The restaurant itself is small. There are plenty of tables inside and outside.The parking lot is extremely small and tight. I was lucky enough to find the spot.Service was good and fast.Ambiance is cool with nice wall arts on the wall to the ceilings.I will definitely go back."

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (425) • $$

"This burger chain has been around since the 70s and still puts out great burgers. Stepping into a Red Robin is like visiting a friend I've known all my life so the feelings of nostalgia make me a bit biased. This particular location is at The Village mall and has an exterior entrance. We came for lunch on a weekday and found it to be relatively quiet.Our server, Kyle, was spectacular, a fellow full of charming personality, very attentive, and the reason I pushed this review up to a full 5 stars. I ordered my usual go-to burger - The Banzai. Rather than being asked how you want it cooked, I like the simple question of "do you want pink or not?" I also ordered a cookie magic milkshake (made with Oreos). The big teriyaki burger was excellent, topped with tomato, lettuce, cheese and pineapple rings. I first ordered a Banzai Burger several decades ago and it remains a favorite. The bottomless fries (steak fries) were seasoned well and cooked perfectly. I always laugh at them being bottomless because I can barely even finish the first bunch served. For dipping sauce I always get the "campfire" which is hard to describe other than it has a smokey taste and one can quickly become addicted to it.A Red Robin milkshake is one of the finest and is served with the tin, making it almost three shakes. Fantastic!I definitely had a great visit at this location and left with a happy face & tummy."

RJ Burgers

★★★★☆ 4.1 (218) • $$

"Burgers are fresh !! Real juicy like they say it is !!! . This will be my go to place for burgers"

Farmer Boys

★★★☆☆ 3 (471) • $

"FOODLoaded Fiery Fried Chicken Sandwich - This has become a go-to order for me from Farmer Boys when I don't know what I want for lunch / dinner. The chicken is juicy. The veggies are fresh. The bun is warm, and the salty crispy bacon + the smashed avocado is a match made in heaven. The cheese makes the sandwich not as spicy but you could probably ask for extra sauce. There are some days where it tastes better than others but still a good sandwich overall. Always Crispy Fries - The majority of the times I've ordered these, they have been cold and stale. I would skip on these.Chili Cheese Fries - If you feel the need to get fries, I would opt for chili cheese fries. The chili, cheese, and onions make the fries slightly more edible.CUSTOMER SERVICE & AMBIENCE Good customer service. I was able to get my takeout quickly and my order was correct. It was not too busy inside and there was plenty of parking."

Peters Gourmade Burgers

★★★★★ 4.7 (475) • $$

"Good burger joint. The beef is excellent and the fries are good. They offer sweet potato fries and don't have any problem at all doing customer orders. Seating is pretty accessible bathrooms and kitchen or clean. Floors are clean. I haven't ever had a bad burger here. Their desserts, the cookies and brownies, are good and it's nice to stop in to get a burger for walking over to Ralph's and buying groceries, helps you spend less. Or if your kids go to the karate place next-door, this is a nice spot to have a quick meal that they will enjoy after they get through training."

Teriyaki Js

★★★★☆ 4.4 (158) • $$

"My kiddo is a teriyaki chicken bowl fan. Sometimes the quality of his favorite food varies from place to place. I ended up finding this great spot 5 minutes away from us. Teriyaki J's meets all the right requirements: food is great, especially for the price! We know inflation is a current issue everywhere. Prices are rising and it's affecting everyone. The prices here can't be topped! The staff here is so friendly and professional. I've been here over a dozen times and the service is always A+ ! Every single time I've visited the restaurant has always been clean. I love that! This shows that they take pride in their establishment. If you visit, take the time to read the owner and founders story on their wall.Last but not least, I'm only mentioning their chicken teriyaki bowl but their menu is so diverse. Check it out! There's something for everyone."

Derricks

★★★★☆ 4.1 (41) • $$

"I found this place randomly trying to find food with baby girl something healthy and Derricks place came up. So decided to try it, I'm so happy I did. It's on a golf course, there is enough parking too when you drive up you think you're going into someone's neighborhood but it's a golf course and beautiful restaurant inside. We walked in and got to pick our seats, we decided to sit outside and embrace the beautiful heat and scenery! This place is gorgeous, Martin was our server he was very friendly and helpful, took our order quickly and brought our food out fast. This view is breathtaking, it's sort of busy here too. People are playing golf and having lunch what a beautiful gem I found never knew it existed here. I would absolutely recommend this place to try not too bad in price either. I ordered the chicken lettuce cups $16 and baby girl ordered the pancakes with chocolate chips $12 + $2 extra for chocolate chips. For a drink I got a orange fanta and baby girl got a sprite. My meal is tasty and not too heavy very delicious and healthy feeling! Thank you for fantastic food, fantastic service and absolutely beautiful ambience. I will absolutely come back here again.Have a beautiful day :)Aloha"

In-N-Out Burger

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (660) • $

"An obligatory stop for anyone visiting Cali. Cheap and affordable (arguably more inflated than I remember), it really is a decent fast meal on the go. While the burgers are good, the fries are still questionable (bland). There's a two lane drive thru line at this location, but it does go slow still.Since I haven't had it in many years, I made the rookie mistake of not realizing to ask for a plain burger without the spread sauce, due to an egg allergy in the family. Although the cashier was completely unaware that anything mayo-based has eggs, the manager generously offered a burger without extra charge despite my mistake."

Five Guys

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (689) • $$

"The service was amazing - the manager (or asst mgr) who offered me a sample of the shake gets it, it's all about customer service and he nailed it. Hope these guys thrive cuz they deserve to."

For The Win

★★★★☆ 3.7 (401) • $$

"First time having a smash burger and this was so good. I always see this place on my Instagram reels as one of the best smash burger places in LA.I went with a friend to try this spot out on a Wednesday night an hour before closing and there was no line & wait. I ordered a single patty smash burger, a double patty smash burger, an order of fries and Brussel sprouts. I had the single patty smash burger and it was season nicely. I like how thin the patty was because compare to your average size burger, sometimes I can get sick of eating a whole burger. This was a good size but I wished I ordered a double because I can totally finished a double patty smash burger. The fries were crispy and fresh. The brussels sprouts were BOMB, so crispy with the balsamic glaze.The restaurant is pretty small, there was about 4 tables? but there are some tables outside if inside is full. Parking is very limited since it's in a small plaza. I would definitely be back next time to try their loaded fries."

Johnie's Jr Broiler

★★★★☆ 3.9 (256) • $$

"Great food! We love it there charbroiled chicken dinner is my favorite plate. Old school diner feel."

Carl's Jr

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (105) • $

"I went through the drive thru! Moe helped me out and they suggested the guacamole bacon burger and told me the zucchini was back so I also got that with my meal. It was all so good and hit the spot! Thank you moe for the suggestions and being super nice"

Woody's Diner

★★★★☆ 3.5 (392) • $$

"Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, Woodys consistently serves up great quality and excellent service! The salads are all super fresh, but my favorite is their loco moco for breakfast and fajitas for dinner. Their shakes and desserts are also to die for. We enjoy going to Taco Tuesday in their bar area. We usually sit out on the patio and they turn on the heaters when it's chilly. The tacos and condiments are all delicious and a great deal at $1.50 per taco. They also have a full bar and make wonderful cocktails."

Hangout Restaurant & Beach Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (687) • $$

"The Hangout HB is bigger than the one inSeal Beach but it's not quite as good. Some dishes are equal---sliders and sides, but mostly the flavor is gone on others. We ate burgers last night (a hangout favorite) and it tasted like three day old meatloaf. It had so many fillers it didn't even taste like beef. Last time we came it was for their signature omlets....Breakfast left us with that "Denny's" taste in our mouth. And it cost waaay too much. Still healthy portions but I think we are over being overstuffed restaurants. Get back to real food quality, especially with the new Inflated prices.I've been eating at this location in HB for about seven months. Maybe it's the trend of prices and cut-backs but going for dinner isn't worth the high price now. $65+ no appetizers and two beers. For meatloaf tasting burgers? I'd rather eat at In-and-Out. Sorry Hangout, still love your ibe, service, appetizers and beer but meals are just too iffy to pay that much."

Jack’s Woodside Grille

★★★★★ 4.7 (280) • $$

"All I can say is WOW! I was craving an omelette at noon and my friend instantly suggested Jack's! I was game! I wanted the California omelette and was so excited to see I could choose PANCAKES as a side!!! And to make that even more magical I could make those pancakes SWEDISH PANCAKES! Two things I immediately saw on the menu that I wanted! Service was amazing and very attentive by multiple employees. The interior dining area was super cute and totally not what I was expecting by the looks of the outside building. Now on to the California omelette! It's an omelette soufflé! Never had an omelette this fluffy and delicious! The waitress even asked if I wanted my hash browns well done! Thank you! I hate soggy hash browns! These were beautiful crispy and yummy!"

Hopdoddy Burger Bar

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"There wasn't a long line when I came in on Saturday noon for lunch. Ordering was really easy as it's not a crazy extensive menu. I got the magic shroom burger and shared some parmesan truffle fries. Staff was super nice and attentive. The sauces were pretty interesting they had a caffeinated BBQ sauce which wasn't really for me but cool to try. I really enjoyed my burger I thought it was cooked well and the flavor was good. The fries were good but a bit too salty especially paired with the sauce provided and the BBQ sauce. Paper towel rolls are at each table which definitely came in handy since the burger was quite saucey.All in all it was pretty good. I can see myself coming back but wouldn't be getting the fries again (maybe a different one)."

Ruby's Diner

★★★★☆ 3.5 (292) • $$

"I'm so sad... this place has changed so much. I usually door dash, but today we dined in. All the things I've loved about Ruby's are no more. No juke boxes at the tables, bottomless fries, or what's going on with their cinnamon roll French toast (see image) that has always been a go-to favorite. I've never seen a skinner French toast, it was more like a crepe. I came here with someone who is not from the US, hoping to give them a classic American diner experience and it was a disappointment :( I know it's not their fault, but came for good food, and a full 1950's theme, but no waitress in their cute uniforms and food was mediocre I'll definitely try again, hoping it was just an off day. I will add that I appreciate that they still have the paper cars for the children, the gum ball machine, and the train operating on the ceiling track."

Dupont Centre Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (67) • $$

"Food, service, value. Recommended by another coworker, we came during lunch and discovered this great find. This will be added to the lunch rotation during the business week."

Jack in the Box

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (104) • $

"For a cheap and quick salad, Jack In The Box is not too shabby. I really like the balsamic dressing. This location always has great customer service. The atmosphere of the shopping center is a bit rough, so be extra aware of your surroundings. I've also ordered chicken tenders here in the past and they were fresh and delicious."

Kyuramen x TBaar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (153) • $$

"Kyuramen posts kept popping up on my Instagram feed and I must say, the visuals on the interior definitely caught my eye!From the videos of the Omurice being split open and Demi-glace being poured over the top the beehive looking wall I was instantly smitten!Located in Arcadia, Kyuramen and TBaar are connected and have their own parking lot. Walking inside, it is just beautiful! SO, so much to look at it takes a minute to take everything in. The final point for me was definitely the honeycomb wall. We were lucky enough to be seated in the last booth on the top right which looked down onto the restaurant with a lovely view.Service was amazing from the hosts to our waiters. We decided to order the Omurice and yin-yang ramen bowl, along with two yogurt drinks from TBaar.Taste wise, everything was good. Better than most but not amazing. But combined with the ambiance, the whole experience was a joy. Tonkotsu ramen was good- the spicy side of the bowl definitely had a more Chinese beef noodle soup flavor to it. The Omurice was definitely more visually impressive. Drinks were really, really good!Overall, will be back to bring friends who want to enjoy Kyuramen for all of its cuteness!"

The Burger Den

★★★☆☆ 3 (5)

"Just moved here. Wanted to try a burger spot. So glad we did! Delicious. Tasty. Cooked perfect. We both built our own burgers and didn't disappoint. Had onion rings. Crispy and perfect amount. Will order again!!"

Gourmet Burger

★★★★☆ 4 (986) • $$

"I just elevated my tastebuds burger game after this delicious lip smacking experience. This is a Halal friendly spot that has a tasty gem I must tell you about. I ordered the Lebanese burger that came with your basic sesame bun, cheese and beef patty. What made this burger super exciting to my tastebuds was the coleslaw. I'm not sure exactly what it was but it leveled up the burger and with the added fries mashed up inside! Oh Man! I was like Dayuuum! This is like a Ratatouille moment for me with all the elements working together after the first bite. The last time I had a first time winner was my beloved Fatburger and that's saying a lot. The service was great and a big shoutout to Mo! Plenty of seating inside and patio seating also on the side of the joint plus plenty of parking too. And that's my take on this joint, Peace out."

Norm's Famous Hamburgers

★★★★☆ 3.7 (595) • $$

"Norms is my go to spot when I want to grab a quick meal and not have to get out of my car. The customer service is always on point, the service team are always friendly, polite, and attentive. The food is very good, fresh, and delicious for fast food. The food is also reasonably priced for the great quality that's being served. I love me some Norms!!"

Angelo's Hamburgers

★★★★☆ 4 (625) • $$

"Food was good and the plates were huge. Bought 3 plates and some sides and was alot of food leftover."

Johnny Rockets

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (229) • $$

"The turn around time for the food was quick! The staff was kind and made sure we had all we needed."

Volcano Burgers

★★★★☆ 4.1 (970) • $$

"Great food with huge portions and friendly service ! This little place was here in Los Al for so long from back in my high school days. I was not able to try cuz I wasn't brave enough to order by myself :( But since I am a fully grown adult with own car was able to try couple of items. Burgers! Juicy patties and fresh veggies ! Steak sandwich has tender juicy steak and it really hit the spot. Zucchini fries and onions rings are huge and well deep fried (but extra charges for extra ranch). Only thing I did not like was their chocolate milkshake. It only had hint of chocolate. I definitely recommend this place but be aware this place gets busy! Tiny parking lots and lots of cars in for drive thru."
