Krazy Kooters

While visiting San Clemente, we were looking for a breakfast place to eat with outside seating to accommodate my dog, and so glad we chose this spot. The food was unbelievable. All 3 dishes were amazing, and we didn't need to add any sauces or condiments as they were perfect the way they served it.The service was so exceptionally great, and they gave my doggie water and were so kind to him and us.I will definitely come back here again as the place looks as it would be super cute at night.

The service here was amazing; however, the food was disappointing. As appetizers we ordered pork sliders , "guerro tacos "and wings. The pork was burnt and un flavorful. The wings came with a sweat and sour spicy sauce and were just ok. The tacos tasted like del taco and burnt meat. Then we were told they had a smash style type burger which we were excited to try but were told patties were small so we ordered double patties. We ordered their basic burger, the blue bacon burger and their spicy chicken burger. The patties were burnt and the chicken one was dry and just spicy. The fries were actually good and crispy. Overall we were very disappointed with spending our money and time here. Seems like more thought was given into the decoration than the actual food. I will say the outside patio with fire pit was cool if you just wanted to stop and have a drink but I wouldn't eat here again.

The buddies and I meet up for lunch on Wednesdays either after golf or just to hang out. Our go-to spot is Daily's in San Clemente, but we were meeting earlier than noon, when Daily's opens. I was skeptical of going to Krazy Kooters as they recently opened and I wanted to give them time get the kinks out. But, here we were. The patio was a great first impression, as it is spacious and it had a nice breeze coming through. We sat at a high top and waited for our third buddy to show up. As I sat down, our great server, Zachary, came out with the wine the one buddy ordered and he took my order for a diet coke. Time to review the menu to see what culinary expedition I would be on for lunch today. The menu was not extensive and later one buddy would comment that it would be hard to come here weekly, as there was not a variety of choices. Since we were waiting for the third buddy, we decided to order some Frickles. Fried dill pickle chips, battered in krispy kornmeal (notice the comedy "K" theme??) with jalapeno ranch. When served, the Frickles had sweet pickled jalapenos and cilantro on top. These were pretty good, but I thought they were a little thick. I really like the fried pickles at Hooters, in fact that may be the only other place I have had fried pickles. You get about 10 or 12 Frickles. When I return (is that foreshadowing?) I would pass on the Frickles. While we munched on those, the third buddy showed up and we were ready to order once he took a quick looky-loo at the menu. The awesome Zachary was ready for us to order and my choice was the Klassic Kooter (those K's again!) which is a smash patty, white American cheese, brioche bun and fancy sauce. (I wish I would have asked what was fancy about it or at least what it was!). I added lettuce, tomato, raw onions, extra pickles. You have a choice of adding more smash patties, but I went with the klassic one patty. The burger comes with Krazy Fries (house punched fries with Kooter's seasoning). See the nice presentation in my pictures. The buddies both ordered the Hawt Chick ($20) - Krispy breaded Mary's chicken breast, mild or spicy Nashville style hat sauce dunk, dill pickle chips and Kooters slaw. Sorry, did not get a photo. The one buddy ordered the sandwich mild and the other ordered as spicy as they can make it and also asked to add jalapenos. Zachary laughed and took his order. We all had our drinks refreshed and after a bit Zachary brought out our food on small baking pans. They all looked good. I always go for my fries first and depending on how much I like them I will eat some, a majority portion or all of them before I go on to my burger. These fries were very, very good, fresh kut and cooked nice and krunchy. Without being detected, I had absconded the second little tub of jalapeno ranch that came with the Frickles. That was a tasty kombo with the great fries. Well, I ate them all. Every Krazy fry was in my gullet. On to the burger and due to the konsumption of all if my fries, I was planning on kutting the burger in half and eating that. However, I just picked up the entire burger and started chomping. It just looked great. Perfect melty cheese, nicely stacked ingredients on the sexy, shiny brioche bun. One bite and I proclaimed, "WOW!" even as I was still chewing the first bite. It was delicious. Best burger I have had in some time. Bun was soft and fresh, smashed patty cooked nicely, veggies were krunchy and fresh and the fancy sauce was really tasty, but I still don't know why it's fancy! This was an awesome burger. Go get one. Prove me wrong, I dare you! You will be so grateful you read this long diatribe about a burger and fries! The buddies really liked (loved) their chicken sandwiches. Juicy, perfect spice and a hot, delicious mess. My plan is to try the Hawt Chick sandwich next time and get it spicy! My Kompliments to the Krazy Kooter Kchef. Kudos to those in the Kitchen. I am very Keen on Krazy Kooters. I'm not Kidding, bring your Kinfolk and leave the Kittens at home because you will be Knee-deep in fancy sauce and jalapeno ranch. You may want to Kneel and praise the Lord after your burger. If you now Know about KK's it would be bad Karma not to go to this Kid-friendly place. Kindly ask for the Klassic Kooter and you with think it KICKS-Butt! Ha, ha!! I will be back to have the wife try it out. Go! Eat Well!! HAVE FUN!!!p.s. I was a bit blown away by the very nice bathroom! Nicely decorated, very clean. And to add, they are improving the patio on the roof for ocean view drinking and dining. Awesome! I will be back for sure.

Great burger Great bar6 star fried pickles!!!Awesome combination - Disneyland ride meets dive bar with killer food.

Stopped in on a weekend afternoon for lunch and happy we came by. Dive bar vibes but without being grungy. Friendly staff and the food was great, we got the burger and spicy chicken sandwich and both did not disappoint. Also, indoor/outdoor seating and the beer was cold, enough said! Give em a try.

Probably the best burger I've had in a while!!! Love the atmosphere here. The decor is amazing!! Nice open restaurant concept with friendly, fast service. The burger is so unbelievably bomb it's enough to come back for regularly. The fries are delish too! Cocktails are on point and nice and strong. Zero disappointments and cannot wait to come back!

Great new place in town from the owners of Sanchos. Really cool vibe. We sat on patio with great big heaters to keep us warm. Inside is insanely unique with pool table for table, great bar setup and other seating. My ahi burger with mango slaw and fries were great. Could have had a little more seasoning tbh. Service was good too!

I tried the coffee with alcohol ( called who is your paddy ) it was surprisingly tasty!! Taylor was my server. Such a cute girl. Good energy she made me really good drink with coffee something different. I never tried it. it was really good I really recommended.

Really cool place! AMAZING service! Outside seating was incredible, we walked in to check out the inside and it was also really incredible. The food was ok but definitely recommend the C Kups. The drinks were really good too

This is a funky spot in Downtown San Clemente created by the founder of Sancho's Tacos. Decor is fun, but purposely tacky inside, but outside has great seating on the patio and rooftop. (Think pirate theme mixed with GIANT farm animals inside and rock music, lol.) We started with wings with dry rub and frickles, which are fried pickles. They were good, but I'm not a pickle fan, so I liked the breading and ranch. We had burgers for dinner and they were DELICIOUS! I had mine with white cheese, grilled onions and the works; it was served smashburger-style and I took half home, along with yummy fries. Service was helpful and friendly. Fun spot! I've heard brunch is great, too!
