I miss their old salad, but I've been loving their new power protein bowl sub their quinoa patty! I typically take food to go, but we decided to dine in tonight. Harper helped us and his customer service was beyond exceptional. Big shout out to Harper! read more

This was a bit disappointing but the hamburgers were good. My hamburger the SOB was $13 not including tax and tip. It was very underwhelming and was sadly pretty burnt. The chicken tenders were also overcooked and slightly burnt. The chicken sandwiches seemed to be cooked right. We all agreed it tasted good besides the burnt parts but definitely didn't feel like these were $13-$16 hamburgers/chicken sandwiches. We did have a big order 7 hamburgers 2 chicken sandwiches and two chicken tenders. I would not be coming back here with a big order. I probably wont be back period but might give them another try with a single order. It was just meh. Nothing special. read more

My family and I were looking for something quick and yummy for lunch today without a huge price tag. We found Burger Lounge on the np and decided to try it. So glad we did. The burgers are perfectly cooked, the fries are incredible and I got a lavender mint lemonade and enjoyed it. It's a smaller restaurant with some outside seating too. The staff that we interacted with were nice and friendly. The location is great, not in the busiest part of that area but close enough to walk around and get a feel for the vibe. Chicken tenders were a bit overcooked but everything else was worth the visit. read more

When the husband was hungry during our vacation, this was our go to for a quick burger fries and a milkshake grab. The burgers are pretty awesome fries. Amazing. But the star stunner was the milkshakes. We had to come back a few times during our stay in La Jolla for a few more milkshakes thank you brother Lou. read more

Can't get take out right I love the burgers at burger lounge I think they're one of the best. "fast food" burgers you can get. The problem is they cannot seem to get any takeout orders correct. Today is the third and final time that I will order takeout from Burger lounge. Especially when getting an order delivered when they forget the sauce which they always do or get part of your order wrong which has happened twice now and the delivery driver is gone. That's it you're done you're stuck with whatever food you got. Today I ordered a burger, onion rings and a Pinot Gris can of wine. It's expensive at $9.99 so I wanted to get what I paid for and requested. I ended up with a red Pinot noir instead. So lounge, I give up on you, burger lounge. Especially with the cost of delivery it's not worth risking $50 for a burger, rings and wine if they cannot get it right! read more

my chicken was awful not to mention the first batch that came out had hair in it. service was chill tho.

Burger Lounge consistently delivers an exceptional fast-casual dining experience, and their Lounge Burger is an absolute standout. Ordering it with 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef, savory non-dairy cheddar cheese, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, and signature BL 1000 Island sauce--customized without onion and pickles and cooked to a perfect well-done--results in a juicy, flavorful masterpiece. Paired with their incredible fresh-cut French fries, which are crispy Belgian-style and authentically fried in beef tallow, this meal achieves the ultimate balance of texture and taste. To top it all off, their community-minded discount policy is a wonderful bonus. Highly recommended! read more

A local suggested we have lunch at Burger Lounge. The quality of the burger or chicken is why people come here I think. A chicken club and agave can margarita was $20. My friend had burger, onion rings and $10 milkshake, making his order $30. $50 was pricey I thought but we were hungry. The two people working in the restaurant were very kind and informative. We thanked them when we left. It is very casual and we sat outside under their umbrellas on the patio to eat. read more

The WORST delivery and the BEST fast food. Tough to like this place. We orde 2-3x a month for delivery from LaJolla to PB (about 6 miles). Orders are usually on time, but wrong half the time. Sometimes it's a minor miss, but often it's major. Most recently we ordered three burgers and some sides. Instead, we received an order for someone else that was a kids burger and milkshake. That's it. I chased down the delivery driver and he said "my bad, call them." read more

We used to love Burger Lounge, so it was really disappointing to see how much it has changed. The food arrived cold and lacked flavor, and the fries and onion rings were just as disappointing. Overall, it wasn't worth the money, and unfortunately we won't be returning. read more

I hadn't been to Burger Lounge in years but we were hungry and it was raining out and we wanted something quick and filling and the parking gods were with us so we decided to give it another try. I ordered the grass fed burger keto bowl and added a piece of crispy grilled queso. This bowl was PHENOMENAL!!! Honestly among the best I've ever had. The guac on top was super fresh and delicious as were all of the veggies. The grilled zucchini was an amazing touch. I actually could have done without the queso even though it added delicious cheesy goodness. This meal was hearty and filling. The service was awesome--everyone was friendly and offered good advice on food choices. Just a few caveats, the indoor space is tiny and there is no indoor seating other than a few barstool countertop seats. So if it's raining, you might want to consider take out or be ok being sandwiched up against the other customers. We had a large stroller with us that basically took up the aisle but luckily the staff and other customers were super chill about it. If you or your guests have accessibility issues however, you might want to scout it out in advance to make sure everyone will be comfortable. I can't imagine this would have held up as well as a "to-go" order. Would be a great place to go on a sunny day to take advantage of their outdoor seating. read more

In my mind, there is a kaleidoscope of all the great burgers I've eaten around the world (most in Texas) that I fantasize to. Burger Lounge is one of them. The La Jolla location was serving up perfection. Also, the Ballast Point beers are excellent. read more

The food was an absolute 11/10!!! I got a blue cheese burger and OMFG, sooooo good! The onion rings were also really good. Chill cool spot, I grabbed a bite and walked down to the cove. The service is pretty good, they are friendly. You will probably have to wait a while on a busy day, I waited 25 mins for just 2 burgers so but it was absolutely worth it read more

"Lounge" reads as though it'd have an expansive interior but this place is on the opposite end of the seating spectrum (less than 10 bar stools). Decent burger with a very small serving of okay fries, understaffed counter service, perhaps the longest wait time on a burger in my life pre-peak dining. 90s fast food joint inner decor. read more

Arrived and the place had no AC. I had placed an online order for pickup. They had my order in a bag stapled but I opened it to check my items. I'm not one to usually check but when they charge you for additional sauces and you purchase them I think they should give them to you lol. They hadn't placed my extra ranch in there. I should have checked the burgers but my chicken sandwich had no cheese or tomatoes as i had requested and also paid for. It is frustrating. Also, I knew something was missing in my burger but did not realize it until I was almost done. Check your items! read more

I have been coming here since burger Lounge opened. I am so bummed about the beef tallow oil. I am a vegetarian and I used to order the onion rings and fries all the time and now that is not an option for me. read more

I'm currently dining here and ordered a salad. As I was chewing I felt something abnormally hard in my salad I decided to spit it out and discovered it was a chunk of glass the size of a pea or small bead. I was freaked out I went strait to the front to tell them, they were apologizing and Compt my salad and drinks but I don't care about the money. I'm freaked out that I ingested glass without realizing. read more

Not happy. Been a longtime customer of Burger Lounge -- from the very beginning. We had a small group dinner at our house tonight -- decided to order Burger Lounge via Doordash. Didn't work out so great. Long story short, we ordered 3 regular burgers, 2 plant-based burgers, 1 ancient grain paleo burger, and 1 crispy chicken sandwich, plus some plant-based chicken nuggets and 5 orders of fries (why doesn't BL offer onion rings through Doordash??) We didn't get the ancient grain paleo burger and my wife's plant-based burger was missing the avocado we ordered and paid extra $$$ for. They were on our receipt but not delivered. Who's checking the orders before they go out -- anyone? Last time I'm doing Burger Lounge by Doordash -- why bother if I don't even know if I'll get everything I ordered? read more

Review is for delivery. Being that I'm on the boarder of La Jolla and PB, I knew the food would be coldish so wasn't concerning myself with that. However, I did warm my oven up so I could heat up the grub. Its good to know that Burger Lounge is mostly the same. Lots of places have had a quality drop after the covid cuts. The only difference is they now give you a light amount of fries and rings when you get a halfnhalf. The onion rings weren't as good as in the last and the ranch dip is skimpy and no where good as b4. The chicken finger thangs I got were just as good or way better than b4. The burger was also tasty but woulda been far better if I had it @ burger lounge. Mmmmm!!! They good!!! read more

This place used to have outstanding burgers, the best around if I'm being honest. Unfortunately, after years of being around the place has gone down in quality. Lettuce isn't as fresh, burgers don't have the same 'wow' factor they once did. The last time we went in the ranch tasted like mayo (sorry Europeans) and this was one of the highlights we used to have when going in. Crispy onion rings dipped in mouth watering ranch. Onion rings are still on point, ranch not so much. read more

Inside seating and waiting area is very small. I've gotten several vanilla milkshakes and sometimes they're really good and sometimes they're really watery. Depends on the employee. This restaurant wouldn't be my go-to for burgers based on the inconsistency of the milkshakes. However, the employees are very nice. One even went out of his way to make my milkshake in under two minutes when I told him I only had a couple minutes to spare (there was nobody else in the restaurant so it didn't affect anyone else). read more

I was so happy to see Burger Lounge open after the pandemic but I can see why; the tasty fresh food, the very kind management and a gorgeous setting in the heart of La Jolla. I love the bespoke tea, beers on tap, and other refreshing drinks and the managers are kind enough to let you grab a drink and sit on their sidewalk tables and relax. They have everything out there from great music, heaters for winter and fans for summer. The chicken tenders are REAL chicken, lightly battered and oh so juicy. Even the picky 3 year old gobbled them up. Great burgers made your way and if I start describing the fries and onion rings I'll just make myself hungry. So just GO, see for yourself. read more

Burger lounge is a popular spot for lunch in La Jolla. I ordered the classic with a side of fries. The burger was just okay but the fries were good. The burger with fries and a drink is about $22 which seems pricey for what you're getting in comparison to other burger spots in the area. read more

Burger Lounge - The "Classic" - Burgers Near Me - La Jolla, California

Location - tough to find parking Seating - inside had a small bar type table with seats, the rest were outside, maybe 5 or so. Staff - were working hard to get orders out even though they were understaffed. Made everyone aware of wait times due to surge in online orders, most left without ordering. Food: Took about 20-25 minutes. Onion rings - really good, seasoning was very good. Burger - this was lukewarm and not good. I think this was because the chicken took so long, but was disappointing. Fried Chicken sandwich - good, this was the biggest sandwich I've ever seen. Wasn't a fan of the sauce though, really needed something different like the Popeyes sauce. Overall probably wouldn't return as it was a pain to get to, most seating was outside with no heaters and the food was pretty expensive. If it was convenient I may stop by another BL location to give them another chance. read more

This is our go-to burger joint in La Jolla, but I was so disappointed by our service this time that it might be the last time we visit. First, they're currently running a "Kids eat free on Tuesday" deal for dine in, takeout and delivery, but beware - if you order online the deal doesn't apply and there's no acknowledgement or attempt made by the staff to rectify that. Then, our small takeout order was supposed to take 15 minutes and instead took 40! (And that was after we stood there and asked for a status update awkwardly a few times.) No apology. No offer for a free drink for the inconvenience. Nada. Instead the cashier just laughed and said "there's nothing I can do about it" every time someone walked up in a huff asking about their order. Management should empower their employees to improve their customer service. While the staff is working hard, they clearly need more training. read more

This is my fav Burger Lounge location as I am in the area frequently. This time I ordered the Lounge Burger, Turkey Burger (paleo style), impossible chicken nuggets, onion rings, and salad. My first time trying the impossible chicken nuggets here - they were soooo tasty! We always love our food here, and I don't care what ppl say about In N Out burger - to me, Burger Lounge is my go-to for burgers! In fact, they are the only fast food place I order turkey burger from. Their ingredients are always fresh, even the lettuce - you will NEVER see any brown lettuce here unlike many other fast food places. Staff are always friendly and they are very efficient. Highly recommend for fast food burger lovers! read more

Ew this used to be my go-to spot but they got a nasty attitude here now and I'm not having it. I ordered take out via their website on Sunday the 18th and I came to pick up my order. There was a line outside and obviously bcuz I ordered take out, I'm not gonna wait in the line where ppl are ordering in. So I walked in to the counter to the left side of the cashiers and this girl was like hey hey hey, what are you doing. And I told her i was trying to pick up a take out order and she pointed to the outside pick up window and told me to go there to get my pick up order. Her tone was SO rude and she acts like the pick-up window for to-go orders was obvious. You can't even see the damn sign that says "pick-up orders". Like don't get mad at me when you guys have a CRAPPY SIGN THATS LITERALLY THE SIZE OF NOTHING. If you want ppl to know where your takeout window is, PUT A BIGGER SIGN. Additionally, I usually love the food here but ewww it was so gross last time I got it. The fries tasted stale and the burger wasn't what it used to be. It doesn't have enough sauce now and was a bit dry tbh. I'm so disappointed bcuz this was my go-to burger spot and I got all my friends who live in SD and ppl from out of town to go here, but idk about recommending this place anymore to anyone tbh unless they change things up like not serving stale fries and hiring workers who don't have attitude. read more

This is a follow-up review of my office's experience with TO-GO orders with the La Jolla location, let me preface that the corporate office of Burger Lounge wanted to make things right and provided our office with a gift card to try again. Here are things the La Jolla location really needs to improve on: Timing of orders, the food was sitting out when I arrived, when I mean sitting out, I mean the boxes were open and any heat that could have been retained had gone. This is frustrating because our office is maybe 3 mins from Burger Lounge, so coming back with a cold burger is so so disappointing. I am assuming if you eat in person, it's very fresh and warm but both times we ordered to-go and it was cold. Quality of products, the avocado on multiple sandwiches was going brown, and not very appetizing. Also accuracy of orders, my burger was not supposed to have avocado but it did, if there was an allergy or something like that, it could be very dangerous. Portion sizes, someone in our office got the COD pan-fried sandwich, they advised that after a few bites, they ran out of cod and were basically just eating a veggie sandwich after that... That's really disappointing. I am grateful they gifted us a card to try again, but I don't think I would ever spend my own dollars here or even suggest this place for my office to eat from again. read more

Had the Bison Burger with fries and San Pelegrino mineral water. Threw up that night. Took 3 days for appetite to return. I had properly disinfected my hands and, just to be safe, had used utensils to eat. It was the food, likely the burger. read more

Burger was really greasy (not in a good way). I wonder if lthey added oil to compensate for the lean beff? Fries were okay and onion ring tasted like freezer Costco ones. The staff was super nice tho read more

I don't think Covid is an excuse to lower the quality of the food they serve, and to be honest lately they really have come down. A simple burger and fries, which by the way is 2 or 3 times the cost of the other places, was an overcooked meat which tasted like cardboard, the bread was stale and the fries.... take a look at the pic and judge by yourselves. I think it's anything these spots that have the advantage of already serving to go, should keep their eye on the ball. read more
