This place is just as good now as it was back in the 90s when I was a kid, I grew up up in Brea lived right down the street by the Brea post office and my dad would always take me here when I was young we would get burgers and onion rings and French fries. I came out to the OC to go to Disneyland and decided to stop by here on the way back home on Thursday January 8th,2026 around 11:30am, I came with a friend, I ordered a turkey burger and onion rings, the staff was super friendly, the place is immaculate! Very clean as soon as someone finished eating they were cleaning the table. I'm so happy I got to come to a place that meant so much to me as a kid and eat and have the same experience I did back then, can't wait to come again next time I'm in town, thank you Brea's best for great food and amazing service!

I had a good experience at Brea's Best Burgers. I ordered the Cheeseburger ($6.89) and Sausage Breakfast Burrito ($9.99). The portions are very big, and its ingredients felt clean & fresh. I arrived at Brea's Best Burgers on Friday (around 11:13AM). Parking is convenient and easy. Staff is professional and friendly. Staff spoke Spanish and English. Staff worked hard and quickly. I ordered for "dine-in." I received a small metal number & found a seat, and staff brought the food to the table. I waited only four minutes. So fast! As mentioned, I ordered the Cheeseburger ($6.89) and Sausage Breakfast Burrito ($9.99). The Sausage Breakfast Burrito was the more memorable option. That heavy, hot, & freshly prepared breakfast burrito had fluffy potatoes (similar to textured mashed potatoes), generous cheese, eggs, and savory sausage slices. Its ingredients tasted very fresh, and this hefty breakfast burrito was extremely satisfying. The Cheeseburger was also a solid option. It arrived somewhat lukewarm, but I appreciated the freshness of its ingredients. The Cheeseburger had a toasty, buttered bun; its meat patty carried a light char; and the vegetables were crisp and fresh. Unfortunately, the meat's patty was somewhat bland and under-seasoned. Most of the flavor derived from the fresh vegetables and thinly spread thousand island sauce. Concerning ambiance, Brea's Best Burgers is cozy and attractive. The art mural is vibrant and well-maintained. The furniture is bright, colorful, and clean. The tables are sleek and shiny. However, although its floors were relatively clean, it would have benefited from several more sweeps. Also, I disliked how their music had numerous commercials/advertisements; it felt like radio. In addition, this location can get echoey, so customer chatter might make it somewhat difficult to converse. Overall, I had an enjoyable experience at Brea's Best Burgers. The food is huge, affordable, & fresh. If nearby, you're very fortunate to have such a tasty option. 4.7 out of 5

I hadn't been back here in a while but today I really wanted a charbroiled burger and this place hit the spot. The burger I ordered was massive for the price, and very good. Not greasy at all, which is what I was looking for. I also ordered a side of large fries to share, which was enough for 3 people. Overall the quality was good and exactly what I wanted today. I did an online order and picked up. My order was ready promptly and service was good. This place has a diner feel, with old Brea vibes, conveniently located off Brea blvd, with plenty of parking.

Raw chicken
Marisol E.

Really disappointed with the quality of the food. I went in a bit before closing time although I appreciate them taking my order I asked before 8:40pm. They close at 9:00pm.. They told me they only had orders to go. After a long work day I honestly didn't want to cook and came in for a bbq chicken sandwich combo. When biting into my sandwich the chicken was raw in the middle please see my picture and fries were just stale. I called at 8:58pm to let them know. Nobody answered anymore. Which technically they should be open until 9pm. Now I don't have a meal and nothing can be done about it! I wish this wouldn't happen to anyone that just because the workers are in a rush to go home this happens! We all work but please be courteous of your customers.

Patty Melt with Onion Rings
Joey A.

What a cool little diner! Super clean and menu is impressive (breakfast served all day!) This is the kind of "mom and pop" burger place that gives you all your basics, and still served to perfection. This is definitely that place that gives you about 5 lbs. of onion rings on one order! lol I'm not complaining! Any burger place can grill a burger pretty well, but I always test a place based on their patty melt and boy oh boy it was a 10/10! Grilled onions were juicy, rye bread toasted and crispy, burger fresh and full of flavor. Simply put, wow. Come by Brea's burgers if you are close by, take a small walk down memory lane and you will be back, I know I will! You will definitely be greeted with a smile and the service is super fast and friendly.

pattymelt on their menu with carmelized onion.
David T.

Dumpy patio, was fun to take the dogs here. Front Employees seemed nice but then I had an exchange with the cook that wad beyond senseless. Ordered a burger, a pattymelt fries, a puppy patty for the dogs and a drink. Everything was decent, we come here for convience not a incredible dining experience. Pattymelt was given to us with no carmelized onion. Took it back to the chef and he acted like I was an idiot for not asking for it with onion. Rude, wasted my time and no longer convenient which is this places bread and butter because the food isn't great. Very disapointing, chef had us waiting for onion while our food got cold and then didnt even make the pattymelt, just gave us a tray with partially cooked onion. their menu has by default carmelized onion.

Entrance and front of the restaurant

Brea's Best Burgers is one of the staples of the downtown Brea area. Any time you drive by here, you can't miss the big yellow and brown sign on the corner which has been there for ages. The inside has a classic diner feel with a black and white tiled floor, red and white booths, and a great classic cars mural along the back wall. There are also some benches out front if you would like to get some fresh air while you eat. I have only ever eaten burgers here but their menu is pretty extensive and includes burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, salads, Mexican favorites, and breakfast. When you order and dine-in, they will give you a number and bring your food to your table when it is ready. The cashier was friendly as she took my order and when she delivered it. I decided to order the avocado bacon cheeseburger. I thought to myself "wow that looks good" when it arrived. The patty actually looked a little thin, but I took my first bite and it had an excellent char-broiled flavor. The strips of bacon had a nice thickness and were good and meaty. There was also a good amount of avocado. It was a solid burger and pretty filling on its own since I didn't order a side to go with it. I'll definitely be back.

In all my years that I've ive been in the Brea area, I have passed by, but never tried this place. I now have the pleasure of saying this place is great. On a whim, I ordered through their site, and had the pickup order ready within 10 minutes. The store is clean, appearing to be recently renovated in the past 5 years, with an old school diner feel. The food was excellent for the standards of a burger joint. I ordered the chili cheese fries, and the fam got the variety of burgers. Everything was cooked perfectly with fresh ingredients. I don't need to over explain, but there is no lie here. These guys sell the best burger in Brea!

Dry and tasteless cheeseburger
Ms N.

I've been coming here for years, and it's disappointing to see how much the food quality has declined. The cheeseburger used to be my go-to order, but the last few times I've visited, it has been so bad! The burger was dry, bland, and lacked the flavor that made it stand out in the past. The customer service has also gone downhill. The staff often seem unfriendly and unpleasant to deal with, which only adds to the disappointing experience. It's sad to see a place that was once a favorite lose its focus on both food quality and customer service. I hope management takes customer feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements to restore the quality and service that kept customers coming back for years.

Cheeseburger
Ronni T.

Very good burger spot! It was a cool place to sit and eat a good burger. Service is quick as the employees are quick to serve and our food came pretty quick. I ordered the cheese burger with a fries and a drink and my boyfriend tried the chili cheeseburger with the fries. The burgers were $7 so adding in the combo, it was about $12 per meal. I believe total we spent was $27. Wasn't bad for the price especially how we are getting good quality food. The patties are so mpist and the food tasted so fresh! The fries were also very good. They were hot and crispy! Had a good crunch to it too! The only critic we had is that it was advertised as a 50s diner but it didn't feel like it. But I appreciate the effort! Will definitely be back to try their other burgers!

Double Cheeseburger
Sebastian C.

The last time I had Brea's Best Burgers was well over 15 years ago when I was still in high school. I've been meaning to try this joint again more recently and I'm a little upset that I haven't earlier. I've been here twice within the last few weeks and I plan on coming more often. Here's what I've tried: **Double Cheeseburger: I love, love, LOVE their burgers. It's really love that it's not overly salty like your typical fast food chains. Some may argue that it's bland but I believe they are perfect! All the ingredients are fresh and meats are cooked to perfection. There's the most perfect ratio of spread included on the buns. (5/5) **Sweet Potato Fries: They have the perfect amount of sweetness and salty flavor profiles. Fries are extremely thick and so delicious. (5/5) *Strawberry Shake: Quite expensive at around $7 if you ask me but it's delicious! Sure, it's a simple strawberry shake, but it's super thick and creamy! (5/5) Amazing! Brea's Best Burgers has easily made my list of favorite establishments in Orange County! I hope to become a regular here and try more of their offerings. I've ordered through the phone once and was quoted ten minutes to which they delivered perfectly. I ordered inside for takeout earlier today during a busy hour and my food was ready within 5 minutes! I 100% recommend Brea's Best if you're looking for something delicious and affordable!

The restaurant has plenty of inside seating and a very nice covered patio area for outdoor dining. Orders are placed at the counter and brought to your table when it's ready.

But for today I chose their prosciutto & chicken panini. The sandwich was perfectly pressed and generously filled with carved chicken and all sorts of yummy goodness. This particular dish also had honey roasted almonds sprinkled inside, giving it a very surprisingly nice added crunch.

I had a board retreat that was supposed to be catered by Mendocino Farms, but due to an error, our catering order was never placed. With a room full of people expecting lunch and little time to find a solution, I called the restaurant hoping they could help. Jordan immediately went into problem-solving mode. She checked whether they could accommodate a last-minute catering order and even consulted her manager. Although they didn't have the necessary catering supplies, Jordan worked with me to find another option: individual sandwich and salad orders. The team rushed to prepare everything so I could pick it up and make it back to the retreat in time. They absolutely saved the day. The food was phenomenal, as always, but the service truly earned this review. Jordan and the team didn't cause the problem, yet they went above and beyond to help solve it. Everyone enjoyed lunch, and what could have been a major issue became a success. I'll continue coming back for my own meals, and Mendocino Farms Brea will be at the top of my list for future events. Great food earns return visits; service like this earns loyalty. Thank you to Jordan and the entire team for coming through when we needed it. An easy five stars.

I love everything about it! Now let's talk about the pastrami! It's not too thick, not too heavy, and the bread is SUPER soft! It's even good the next day! If you're someone who doesn't like really greasy pastrami and prefers a lighter taste, this is definitely the place for you! I asked for extra mayonnaise and mustard and provolone cheese, my sandwich was made to perfection! I honestly couldn't think of one thing they could do to make it better. And let's talk about the price, It's definitely worth the money! I wouldn't necessarily call it expensive because when you're getting something good, you can't always expect it to be cheap. What I will say is that their pastrami sandwiches are QUALITY! You can taste the difference, and to me, it's worth every penny! The restaurant was super clean, and the employees were so kind and welcoming. Great customer service really makes a difference, and they definitely delivered! I haven't tried the chili cheese fries yet, but that's next on my list! My only complaint is that I wish we had a location in Long Beach!

We went with the chili cheese dog, pastrami, and a large onion rings. First of all... LARGE MEANS LARGE HERE. The amount of onion rings they gave us was absolutely insane for two people. We barely made a dent in them. Small order next time! The pastrami was piled high, the chili cheese dog was loaded, and everything had that classic no-frills comfort-food feel to it. Also, honorable mention to the RANCH. When the ranch is good, it deserves recognition. The atmosphere completes the experience too. It has that classic old-school sandwich shop vibe that feels like it hasn't needed to change because it already knows exactly what it is. Good food, fast service, massive portions. Definitely coming back, just ordering the SMALL onion rings next time.
