We got the Hole in the Wall Burger, Spicy chicken sandwich, and brick fries. They do their own custom blend in the burger so it's perfectly and deliciously fatty. The chicken sandwich was juicy and the cut was thick. The fries are cross cut tempura battered, and the brick style includes the mom's special sauce, grilled onions, and cheese. If you look at the menu from years past, you'll see that the price has only changed by $1 in the past 5 or 6 years. It's very impressive that they can keep the prices low so the average joe isn't priced out of a humble burger joint. Much respect to the family that owns this place. Y'all just earned a customer for life.

Hole in the Wall Burger in Lake Forest is one of those spots that just never misses. The burger is…read morejuicy, packed with flavor, and tastes like everything was prepped fresh and with intention. It always hits. What really takes it over the top though is their house sauce, often called the Hole in the Wall sauce. It is next level. Bold, savory, and way more interesting than your standard burger sauce. Do yourself a favor and order an extra side because dipping the fries in it is non negotiable. My mom went with the spicy chicken sandwich and it was great. The spice level is totally manageable, flavorful without being overpowering. If you like a little more heat, grabbing a side of peppers is the move. It adds that extra kick without drowning out the sandwich. On top of the food, this place really shines because of the people. It is family owned and you can feel it. Everyone is genuinely friendly and excited to serve you, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant itself is clean, quiet, and comfortable with good vibes all around. This is one of those reliable spots you keep coming back to because it just does everything right. Highly recommend.

My wife had steak fajitas. They were still sizzling after they were delivered to our table. Rice, beans, toppings, tortillas and a huge platter of steak and grilled veggies. So much food. She said that it was a great tasting dish. I had the Chili Verde for the first time. The first bite was a bit off-putting. The meat seemed a bit off. Then I realized that most of the pieces of meat had a large amount of fat on them. I tried to trim off the fat as I ate the meat. The Verde sauce in this dish kind of shimmered from all the fat. There were beans, rice and tortillas accompanying this. The beans and tortillas were good. The rice was just ok. One of the workers was walking by. I asked him to come over and pointed to a large glob of fat on my plate. I told him that my food had lots of fat in it. He did not say anything. My wife then raved about how wonderful her fajitas were. I am not sure if he related my dissatisfaction to anyone but nobody came to our table to talk to me. I was very dissatisfied.

We used to have a Krave in our immediate hood, but it went bye bye in spite of being quite good. After checking Yelp I decided to bring dad here. KOLOSSAL DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER (medium-rare): -- I love that you can order temperature doneness and they got it close but just a bit closer to medium -- I like the caramelized onions or grilled onions options -- the garlic aioli is very nice and moderately garlicky or a tad under -- it came with lettuce -- this is a quality beef Waygu burger -- SUPER juicy and moist -- very tasty RATING = A Dad did the same but vetoed the cheese and ordered it "rare". He was a big fan as well but stated that if we do sides again, he will get a single burger only. The patties are 5 ounces per my online research. I may order mine "rare" since his hit the mark more visually for me. FRIES: -- good with the garlic aioli -- some crisp, some not -- pretty nice and taste like actual potato -- could use some salt but we can do that on our own or use garlic aioli and shine the sodium RATING = A- ONION RINGS: -- perfection on visual aesthetics -- awesome on taste -- nicely browned and crispy and piping hot -- one of the best in years -- again, great with garlic aioli RATING = A+ I do not think they have a wide variety of dipping sauces or unusual ones beyond the garlic aioli. Adding a chipotle dipping sauce or cilantro or basil dipping sauce would be nice additions. STAFF are friendly, accommodating and efficient. A big fan. And this is not far from our house.

My kids mostly get the chicken tenders, which are some of the best I've ever had along with their ranch. Recently, I've discovered their breakfast menu, which they don't really talk about much but it's I think an all day thing. I have stopped in for the breakfast burrito with bacon on more than one occasion. Even when I don't get a chance to eat it right that moment, it stays warm for a long time and the eggs are cooked so well that there's still moist and delicious even if I can't get to it for nearly an hour. My only complaint if any is that it's almost too large. I need to separate into two different meals. Or share it with somebody else. I look forward to trying more breakfast items. My other mild complaint is that their chunky salsa is basically a pico de gallo with some jalapeños and not much of a salsa at all. I still scooped the tomato and onion pieces on my burrito to give it some cool texture but it's not what I would hope for for this nearly perfect breakfast burrito. Thankfully, I learned to bring my own hot sauce or salsa to make it work out. If they were to make their own salsa and it was as good as the rest of their selections that would take it to another level. Please try their breakfasts and let then know what you think.

Eating at The Hat was on my bucket list and I finally had an opportunity so I took it…read more This was my very first visit to The Hat. I had late evening rations after a doctor appointment and a partial day trip. I had a made to order Pastrami Sandwich, French Fries and a self service drink. The sandwich was excellent. The French Fries were decent. I was disappointed that Pepsi was not offered. Men's washroom was clean and paper towels were available... good. However there was only one urinal and only one commode which I think is deficient considering this location was busy late in the evening. I have a bone to pick about the personal appearance of some of the employees. I noticed that the majority of the guys failed to tuck their shirts in. I consider that to be a highly unprofessional look. This is something I am OCD about so I am dinging this establishment a point. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school this establishment would get a solid B.

I've been here a few times and I'm not gonna lie the food quality was better a couple years back…read morethan recent visits. Don't get me wrong, TK is still a decent place to get fresh burgers at a relatively good price, but I've just noticed that the execution is not what it used to be. The last couple of times I've visited this location in particular, either the patty was half raw or the sandwich had so much mayo that it wasn't edible. Mind you, I would tell the cashier that I don't want mayo in the burger but I don't think they heard me or put it down like they said they would. I've noticed a decrease in staff size so maybe that's why the quality of the food has dropped, because the workers are just trying to slam out orders--but at the end of the day if it becomes a consistent occurrence (and it has), then I can't always find an excuse to justify the quality drop. The setting of this location is similar to all other TKs that I've been to, a beach-y, ocean-side vibe that's never too over the top. All in all, if the execution of the food hadn't dropped as of late I'd be more than happy to give this place 4 stars at least, but regardless the food is good enough to kick a burger craving!

Give this man a raise immediately before another restaurant steals him. Now the food? Amazing. The fish burger was and the cheese fries were straight-up dangerous... the kind where you say "just one more fry" about 17 times. But honestly, what made me a fan was the experience Max created.
