It is not very often that I get taken by surprise visiting a burger joint. I had seen this place for quite a while, having driven past it on multiple occasions but never had the opportunity to go in. Well today I broke that streak and I am super excited that I did! The Burger lounge, from the outside, looks like one of those high-end burger places that promises the moon and delivers a lot less. But let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised when I went in and was shocked by the quality of the food, the appearance of the establishment, the friendliness of the crew, and the overall meal experience! The exterior, gives the feeling that this is an exclusive lounge, which from the inside is very well appointed and I love the feeling and the casual vibe that it gives off. The staff is super friendly and very welcoming, and the place is clean as a pin. Definitely makes for a great dining experience. I love the fact that they have different options on the menu, I decided to opt for the house combo which was a burger. Your choice of fries or onion rings and a drink. I picked the single burger with no tomatoes but it came with pickles, lettuce, and your choice of onions. I opted for the caramelized onions and I am so glad I did! I ordered the onion rings extra crispy, and they turned out absolutely perfect! To wash it down, I opted for the hibiscus drink and was not disappointed. Absolutely excellent all the way around. The real star of the show however, was the hamburger. This is not the biggest burger you will ever see, but it is definitely good sized, and pax more flavor than you would expect. I mean for a little bit more than you would spend for a Big Mac combo at McDonald's, this burger blows it completely out of the water. It was fresh, well cooked, and one of the tastiest burgers I've had in a long time. I didn't even mention, that it's all delivered to you on a warm metal plate. A warm plate! It kept the burger hot when you set it down to have some onion rings and pick it back up and it's still nice and warm. A very nice touch. One thing I do have to comment on is the thousand Island dressing on the side, you're going to want about a quart of that because it is so delicious. Perfect thing to dip onion rings in or just slather on your hamburger because why not? The bottom line, now that I know about this place, I'm probably going to become a regular here. Do yourself a favor and if you are in Orange county and near the 17th Street area, go get yourself a bite to eat at the Burger lounge. You will not be disappointed. I will be back very, very soon! read more

Every time I've come here it's been good until this time. But that limited time sub is by far the worst thing I've ever had here I was expecting pulled pork it's like a thin pork patty, super tough/ dry could barely taste the barbecue sauce over how bad whatever Patty they made from pork Definitely will think twice before coming here again after that. Complete waste of money read more

We love Burger Lounge! Diana was the most attentive, friendly, and helpful server. Our daughter was disappointed with accidentally dropping her last onion ring and Diana must have seen from across the room. She brought 2 fresh onion rings to replace it. The night was saved! The restaurant is clean and the food is yummy! We love Kids Eat Free nights! read more

If a burger and fries are going to be pricey, they better be good. And the burger and fries here were very good! You walk in and can order from a kiosk or go up to the counter. The kiosk has the full menu and is easy to use. Order, pay, take your number and sit down in a booth or outside in the seating there. Service was quick. Servers came by to see if we needed anything. Burger was flavorful and juicy. Fries came in a large quantity. The catsup was delicious that added to both burger and fries. They had a good selection from the menu including chicken sandwiches, fish, turkey burger and impossible burgers. Clean restaurant, quality food and good service- all make for a winning combination. read more

Over 17 minutes for my food to be ready after ordering from the kiosk. Got it home only to see my protein bowl was barely half full. Now I know why I stopped going here. read more

I've been here a few times. The food is good and staff nice. I've noticed some uneven procedures in food handling that could be polished, such as holding drinking cups from the top where one sips. Tables need to be cleaned more frequently. But, again, they do have good food and the vibe and color of the restaurant pleasant. read more

Great service!! Amazing burgers both beef and turkey burgers are great. Love visiting here for my lunch. Mostly though, the customer service keeps me coming back. I also notice how busy they are ALL the TIME. Even mid day, I know I am not the only regular lol! Something undeniably tasty about a grass fed organic real 100% beef patty. Slightly pink and 100% great! Wonderful for a pregnant woman lol :) Facility is clean and well kept, music is not too loud. 10/10 would recommend this place and shout out to the female manager who is on top of everything, remembers my orders and always has a smile. Can't for the life of me understand why this location only has 4 stars instead of 5...tough crowd lol! read more

Just got out the Burger Louge. The place was like a zoo with kids everywhere. Must be kids eat free Tuesday. Despite the chaos, service was amazing, and the burgers outstanding as usual. Shout out to Luca for his great service. He worked to the bone cleaning spillages and still remembered to get me my ranch. Make sure you give the staff some love next time you're there. read more

We came in to this place on a Sunday afternoon. Place looks clean, not a lot of customers at the time we arrived. We asked the cashier to recommend the popular food. We ordered the Lounge Burger and the Husky Burger. Both were double patties. We also ordered the onion rings. The burger meat is grass fed and should have a great taste alone. I don't believe they season it and if you're not used to that it may seem off. I thought it was fine because they add cheese, pickles, lettuce and onion. The onion rings are lightly breaded and very crunchy which I feel is a great counter balance when taking a bite of the burger. Let's talk about the price, it's on the expensive side for a "burger joint". BUT, this is a grass fed meat. This is a healthy option for those who want to improve their health. You are what you eat, right? With that said, the price shouldn't matter because it's better for you. I'm it sure about the onion rings but hey, YOLO! We also ordered their cookies and those were soft and tasty. I believe I'll be back when I'm back in the area. I recommend you give it a try and see for yourself. You'll like the service and the food. read more

Burger was delicious and ordering on the machines at the front was so easy. It was a little dirty in there though all the tables were messy so we had to clean it ourselves. But food was worth it read more

This place was pretty lit cuz they have a couple vegetarian options including plant based chicken nuggets, and they have the option to do 1/2 onion rings 1/2 fries (AS EVERY PLACE SHOULD!!!)! Love seeing chicken as a veg option cuz most places do not offer that. The onion rings were crispy. The fries were lowkey mid, some of them were like hard as a rock lol. But the ranch hit and overall was satisfied. Patio was nice for us to sit on with my dog, one of the employees said he's the cutest dog ever so we appreciate her. My friend got the kids meal which came with a scoop of ice cream so that's awesome. Normalize that. Also while eating my meal, a song by one of my favorite music artists ever Shakey Graves came on, and i never hear his music out in public so MAJOR props for that. Love onion rings and folk typa music. Coopy and I would come back. read more

Excellent!!! I was here last week, and I didn't have any expectations. I've never been to a burger lounge, so I thought Why Not??!? I ordered their Lavender Mint Lemonade, Turkey burger, and their fries. The fries tasted like In N Out fries, and they were just plain and ok. The turkey burger was a surprise! It was actually not bad. In fact, it was tasty. Highly recommend to try their lemonade, any flavor. My favorite was their Lavender Mint. Their customer service was very helpful and welcoming. This very clean restaurant had plenty of clean tables. Highly recommended. I'm most definitely returning, when I'm in the area. read more

THE BEST burger ever!!! It is grass fed beef and the highest quality that you can get and you can definitely taste it in every bite. Definitely a great burger place. Restaurant is clean and lovely outdoor seating area. Their menu has variety of choices and everybody can enjoy something for their dietary needs. They even offer a grilled chicken sandwich ( a must try! ). We had a Truffle - mushroom Swiss Burger and a Tuscan Chicken Sandwich ( a must try) and they were juicy and flavorful, you can taste the difference in quality. The bun is fresh and fluffy. Also their onion rings are to die for, definitely worth trying them!!! They definitely serve quality food at Burger Lounge. We also had their dairy-free milkshake and it was THE BEST milkshake I've ever had!!! -a must try!! The staff is super friendly and welcoming. You can tell , that they care about the customers and about the restaurant. Overall we had a great experience and definitely will be back. We highly recommend it! read more

Delicious burgers for burger lovers but has menu items for diners that want other choices. Service is decent. The place has the feel of many fast food restaurants. read more

I ordered at 6:29 PM and the website said my S.O.B. burger with no onions would be ready at 6:39. I arrived and 6:39PM and was told it would be 10 or 12 more minutes. I asked why the website said it was ready and I didn't receive a response, I was just told to wait. After waiting, I received my food and walked out the door. As I got to the door I heard my name again and something very rude. When I turned around there were 4 employees laughing - but when they saw me they all stopped laughing and turned away. When I got home and bit into the burger, I noticed the ticket said NO ONIONS and the burger did indeed have onions. read more

TERRIBLE. Just walked in at 5:00 PM on a Thursday and walked up to the counter where they rudely told us it would be a 15 minute wait. Wait, what?? Left and went to Matty's Patties. We won't ever come back. Ridiculous. read more

The burgers here are solidly above average. Juicy, tasty, and flavorful. The service was quick, although the dining area was sort of so-so, but for a burger lunch, it's just fine. read more

The kids meal is so perfect for a smaller meal that doesn't break the bank- you get it all and are full when done

I've been told this was the place to get burgers that had superior taste, my visit proved otherwise. To be clear my expectation of a good burger is less frills and quality ingredients. I ordered the Western Burger and the half order of onion rings and French fries. Along with a Mexican coca-cola and a root beer float. My wife ordered the mushroom burger and fries. Our total was just above $50.00. To insure i would be able to taste the quality of the beef I ordered no bbq sauce on my burger. Instead the burger was slathered in a mayo based sauce which was confusing as to why that would be a part of the burger that would normally come with bbq sauce. The patty quality was good but not great. The burger patty was thin as if it were a smash burger. Secondly the western burger came with bacon that was book-marker thin and cooked well done. Which is quite the conundrum when you order your burger it is cooked to medium rare unless otherwise requested. So..... why not carry the same philosophy to your bacon? My only conclusion to the burgers is they are already losing money and trying to makeup for the costs by providing meager portions in regards to their proteins. Lastly I'm not a fan of locations that will charge you $5 for a drink and not provide refills. If this is supposed to be gourmet, then this establishment needs to step it up a lot more with non alcoholic drink options and better cook methods. Lastly the location has 5 customers other than us during our visit and yet the trash can managed to be spilling over and was passed by several employees not to mention one of them was in business casual, I'm assuming this was a manager or supervisor. I'm addition the air conditioner was on blast and was louder than the ambient music and colder than the already outside winter temps. I predict this place will close in a year. read more

Great hamburgers. Fresh. Liked the fact everything is cooked in beef tallow. Wonderful place. Always go there and always happy I did.

Great food, friendly service. Half fries and half onion rings with house made ranch! Burgers are fresh and perfectly cooked.

Definitely one of my top favorite burgers. Staff is always on point and friendly. Store is clean and well kept. Kids eat free on Tuesdays, our three year old loves it. read more

Service/4-5/5 great for type of place Food quality 5.5/5 Ambiance 3.3/ a casual spot not fancy but clean and welcoming. I ordered the Truffle, mushroom Swiss burger truffle allow on a brioche bun My friend ordered the turkey burger and we split a large 1/2 fries and onion rings. Yummy fried perfect temp not oily. Our burgers were great. To go we placed the California Lounge burger and he raved about the great taste and good quality ingredients. I wish I had taken photos but we scarfed down so quickly. We were all really happy with our selections and they matched the description. The staff were friendly and helpful at around 1pm on a Tuesday. I would definitely recommend visiti I went with a friend and didn't realize it was fast casual vs order and deliver. No worries the quality of the food was noteworthy, delicious and exactly as described. My friend and my to go order were very happy with the food. read more

Burger was decent but too greasy. Bun was greasy too. Charging fifty cents for a tiny sauce felt tacky. At fourteen bucks for a basic burger the sauces should be included. Patty had good flavor and plenty of toppings but no fries included. They claim eat clean and grass fed but the whole thing tasted like it was cooked in seed oil which defeats the point. Better than a one star but I will not be back. read more

First time at Burger Lounge and I absolutely loved it! They had patio seating but was packed when we went on a Friday night. A lot of families and kids running around. Half of the customers were picking up orders to go. After the dinner crowd finally left, it was a nicer ambiance. We waited 20 minutes for our order but it was worth the wait. The crispy queso tasted exactly how it should. Can't wait to go back! read more

I was not going to order anything when I had this happen to me. I was in line waiting to order. The lady in front of me was taking her time and after she placed her order some random guy just cuts in front of me. After I told the guy he basically ignored me and the person taking my order I was telling him what was that you knew I was next and you let that shit happen. He didn't care. The food was good and if I wasn't in my work uniform and my work truck outside I would have let that older white guy have it. Because I was younger and not white doesn't mean I have to put up with this stuff. read more

One of the most delicious burgers I've had in recent time. You can taste the quality of the grass fed beef. I liked the seasoning of the Lounge burger as well. They also use a good bun. Fries were classic medium cut. read more

You always need a great go to burger place. The Burger Lounge burgers are grass fed beef. No matter how you like it, there is an awesome burger to be found here. No fancy gimmicks just excellent food. There are my love of combination fries and rings on the side. Milkshakes rock with real ice cream or have a craft soda or a beer. The service is awesome and site is clean. You can sit outside with your pup. All I have left to say is YUM! read more

Turkey burger was totally overcooked. Restaurant doesn't use tamper-evident (sealed) delivery bags. Food is delivered in a normal brown paper bag that's merely stapled shut. They charge $.60 for bbq sauce, ranch dressing...any type of dipping sauce and the containers are soooo tiny. Total rip off. read more

What's not to love about a cleaner option in fast food?! I love that they have grass fed, grass finished beef!!!! Soooo much better tasting and better for your HEALTH! Not sure what oils they use to cook their burgers- but I think their website says they use rice bran oil for fries? That's weird- and I wish they used something like tallow... but after all it's still fast food so know where you're at. read more

Miserable air conditioning on full blast, kids are so cold. Adults too are leaving to get coats from car. Customers asked to turn it off, management wouldn't do it. Good food but I won't go back, I was so cold and uncomfortable! The people in both tables next to me said they hated it too. It literally moves your hair it blows so strong from ceiling vents. Please ask the staff to turn off the AC, and add a simple diffuser filter over the vents, or turn the fans down from 11 to maybe a 3. read more

Burger Lounge - Air conditioner - Burgers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This was my order (placed via Uber eats): 1 BL Dipping Sauces 1 Plant-Based Paleo Burger (Keto) 1 Fresh-Cut French Fries 1 Kid's Grilled Cheese 1 S.O.B. (Son of a Butcher) 1 Hand-Scooped Vanilla Milkshake 1 Plant-Based Chick' Bites 1 Dairy-Free Chocolate Milkshake Our food came pretty fast via Uber Eats. I was excited to see all the plant-based options. They also have dairy-free milkshakes! I ordered the keto, plant-based burger because I wasn't feeling the bun. It tasted good. Maybe a little too good. The plant-based patties taste suspiciously like real meat. I kept asking my boyfriend to try it and make sure it wasn't real meat lol He said it wasn't but was surprised by the greasy consistency- making it seem more like real meat. I am still sus about that "meat" lol The non-dairy shake (chocolate flavor) was soooo good. It was thick and chocolatey. Great dairy-free treat! Our French fries and onion rings were cold. This is probably one of the downsides to ordering for delivery. The plant-based chick'n nuggets were surprisingly good! Better than I thought they would be. I wish I had BBQ sauce to dip them in. That would have made them perfect! My partner ordered the son of a butcher and said it was really good. His vanilla shake (dairy based) was good too. He enjoyed both. Overall, this is a great spot for burgers and shakes! :) read more

I am extremely confused by the type of lettuce they use in their lettuce wrap. It does not work one bit. Please see the pic I posted. You cannot hold the lettuce wrapped burger at all. As a result, you eat the patty and lettuce separately. It sucks. The whole point of the lettuce wrap is you should be able to hold it. Instead, you just get huge chunks of lettuce, and the ketchup and mustard on the side. Weirdest lettuce wrap ever. Also, I got a double patty and fries (no drink), and it was 19$ and some change. Paying 20$ for a burger I can't even hold is horrible. I feel scammed. Fries were good at least. It also takes a while to come out. Parking was easy, but again I'm not sure what to compliment here, as the burger was unable to be enjoyed as a result of the poor presentation. read more
