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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I love this place! I used to live nearby. I would walk over. Delicious food. I mostly stuck to the Bacon burger combo, but I've had the salads and they are quite yummy and substantial. They do not have a drive thru, but it's okay. Word of warning, they have great food so if you go at lunchtime, there WILL be a wait. Worth it!! I highly recommend! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Brea's Best Burgers - Double Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Brea, California

The broiled chicken salad had extremely hard chicken. My jaw was sore after eating it. The chicken seemed marinated in lemon, which was unappetizing. The salad also had a handful of raw baby carrots, which I didn't care for. I saw the cook grabbing lettuce and tomato with bare hands to put on someone's burger. I thought cooks were required to wear gloves when handling raw produce. I'd never eat from here again. read more

Service terrible and rude to begin with, the girl at the counter seems to not like her job( find one where you don't deal with people) Food was bleh. No flavor and over cooked. They look pretty but the taste is just not there. I won't be coming back . Double negative tonight at this place. read more

Brea's Best Burgers truly lives up to its name - it's the best burger I've ever had. I remember trying a burger there for the first time in 2002, and I was amazed at how delicious a burger could be. Since then, whenever someone asks me for a recommendation for a great burger place, I always suggest Brea's Best Burgers. Everyone I've recommended it to has become a regular customer. I usually order the cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and onion rings, and I highly recommend it! read more

This used to be my husband's favorite spot, but the entire ambiance has gone downhill. The service was incredibly disappointing. The cashier had a bad attitude, which led to my order being wrong--I ordered 2 hamburgers but only received 1. To make matters worse, the lady who brought out the food was very rude and practically threw the plates onto our table. Between the unprofessional staff and the declining food quality, the welcoming vibe this place once had is completely gone. The atmosphere felt cold and hostile. We are so disappointed and will not be coming back. read more

I ordered a 2 egg breakfast special.. It comes with 2 eggs, 2 sausage, hashbrowns, and toast. It was made to order and well prepared. The service from the tall gentleman at the counter was great but the shorter gal that delivered our food was in a terrible mood. The decor place has a great vibe. It feels like a Johnny Rockets or Rubys Diner inside. read more

Online order was easy and everything was prepared as requested. While all the food is good they have awesome onion rings.

3.9 Stars I came here for lunch and was craving a Colossal Cheese Burger. It came as expected and it was great. Pastrami, beef patty, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato was yummy. I enjoyed this burger. It's been a while since I had one. It had good flavor and for sure it will get messy as I was eating. The spread in the burger was good and I added a little ketchup to it as well. It's pretty filling for me so I didn't get fries. The orange bang was perfect with my burger. I would recommend this Colossal cheese burger to everyone. I would comeback to get this again or try another sandwich or burger. The place have a cool painting on the wall. It have a great classic burger place vibe to it. It's an order at the counter and find an open table to eat at. I will be back! read more

I've lived in Brea for over 15 years so I have gone to Brea's Best many times over the years. I'd say that the quality of the food is not the same. Their burger was bland, without even salt and pepper. Ketchup and mustard couldn't help it. It tastes like frozen burger patties that are overcooked. Not juicy at all. Their beef hotdog wasn't very juicy either and was bland as well. Maybe if they added on the grill top?! For both, a little overpriced. Their breakfast burrito is pretty good. I wish they would give more salsa. Customer service could be friendlier. The dining area is decorated in a 50's theme. read more

Great tasting burger again tonight! YES!!! Owner asked to buy it for me because they messed up last time. My order gets messed up a lot and I don't know why. LOL I asked them to please cut it in half cuz I wanted to eat it in the car. They forgot. ????? Are these really hard requests guys? Am I asking for the moon? I just want to have you listen and please make an order as asked for. It's not that big a deal but when they are trying to fix the screw ups and then they screw up again right to your face..... I give up. And NO they weren't busy at all. I swear I don't get it. But you know what? I think I actually do get it. read more

Brea's best, I love your fries, Dare I say it, it beats even five guys. Their burgers are hefty, so beware the double. It's so large it might give you some trouble. The patties are indeed 1/3 pound So eating it with friends, that idea is sound They got indoor seating which feels OG Brea's burgers is the burger shop for me. I love this mom & pop's burger joint. Reminds me of my parent's shop back in the day. Their burgers are 1/3 lb so be wary of getting the double because it's one BIG burger. I'll be getting the single next time. But their fries were the best! Crispy, perfect size, and they give you a whole ketchup bottle for all your ketchup needs. The only downside was their onion rings. I don't like their style of onion rings, but that's purely my personal preference. read more

I have been coming here for a little while as a Brea resident, this is the third time that I hear the manager/owner guy with the glasses yell at his employees. We were trying to enjoy our meal and heard him yelling about mopping or something like that to the ladies in the front. The employees do not deserve that kind of treatment! They help keep the business a float. I definitely think this should be reported as it almost seems like verbal abuse in the workplace ! I will never return here again because of the experiences we have had here. No wonder they have had a help wanted sign for such a long time and every time I am there it's new people! I'm sorry the employees have to go through this! I understand that times are tough and people need to work but this is unacceptable and should be reported immediately! read more

This place is a dump! Customer service is not their specialty! You can grab a better burger for your buck at Sonic's Smash Burgers!

I felt very unwelcome as I stepped up to order. The cashier never said a word to me; hello, welcome, good morning, nothing. I ordered a carne asada burrito but did speak when I asked what was in the burrito and the price. That was it; no thank you or anything thing else. I asked if she liked working there and she said she did, but she sure didn't convey that to me or person who ordered before me. They should live up to their description of "...dedication to great customer service. We will always greet our customers with a warm smile and happy demeanor." Actually, nobody working there was friendly or smiled. The carne burrito was a good size but almost no carne asada. It was like a carne asada flavored bean burrito. I will likely go back again, but if I have the same experience, it will be the last time, which is sad after the number of years they have been a part of Brea. I never experienced this with the previous owner. read more

**October 2024: Saturday Night Visit** I was looking for a retro inspired burger joint to do an All American Girl type of dinner experience and found Brea's Best Burgers. The seating area had the nostalgic look that was vibrant and evoked a simpler time. It was also open daily and late so that sealed the deal. On my visit I order a a large fry to share and a cheeseburger. I requested grilled onion instead of raw and they happily obliged. The set came out in a timely manner and in these cute trays with red and white checkered paper. The burger was delicious. All the ingredients worked well together and I looked the char on the patty. The fries were also tasty. They're closer to steak fries, but had a nice crunch to it but was soft on the inside. Overall, I was really happy with my visit and if I'm feeling patriotic I would definitely come back again for an all American meal! read more

Busy little place with a lot of food to choose from. However, cheese burger, fries and zucchini were the stars of the show. Ranch costs extra-- and it should. It's basically the perfect ranch that will go on just about everything. Friendly staff and very helpful people. The vibe is a busy small little grab and go diner with 50s era vibes.

Great spot for some good food. I love mom and pop stores and supporting local businesses. My fiance said this place has been around for decades and finally had a change to try it. Their burger portions are super generous along with their fries that comes with your combination. Burgers had good char flavor to it and they have yellow chili peppers you can grab from the bar after ordering. Inside looked pretty new and redone and my fiance couldn't remember if it got remodeled or not but plenty of seating inside and few tables outside as well.
