Here in Lake Forest, many of us are aware of the very kind gesture that the owner of Burger Town did! Apparently, one of the longtime customers passed away, and this was his favorite place to eat, and the owner went all out, way above and beyond we are all very grateful in the community. I believe I've been going here for it seems like 30 years! The food has always been wonderfully priced, it has that old dining atmosphere, but I think that that's just because it could use some remodeling, but then again that's the charm. I like their breakfast burritos and surprisingly their pancakes are quite fluffy and scrumptious. My family and I will be back here shortly, most likely Sunday morning, getting their hashbrowns, eggs, and their omelettes are great too, maybe a vegetarian omelette! read more

We have always wanted to try this place, being so close to it and finally visited on a Saturday afternoon. There weren't many others in there so that was nice. Very old type diner style, which is great! The red and white booths say it all! The counter was standard, one person there taking our orders. They have nice menu boards with photos. Inside was very bright and clean and they have plenty of booths and seats. One tv was playing some type of news channel. They have a fountain drink machine to refill your beverage, that's so great. We ordered a colossal burger, the onion rings and a soda. The people ahead of us ordered a club sandwich and that looked so good! Def can share with others. The burger was really good and had lots of pastrami, but a thin patty of beef. The onion rings are elite, the batter is exactly how I like it and they are so crunchy and not overly greasy. The ranch was really good too, tastes homemade. Would love to try their breakfast and other foods. I like how they have a drive through also, that got really crowded after 12. read more

the old lady at the cashier is extremely rude especially towards asians. don't know what the hell is wrong with her but she treats us like shit like we bargain for her food. never say hi or thank you. her face and attitude is shitty read more

Food is outstanding. Had Denver omelette with hashbrowns and side order of three pancakes. Got cup of coffee also. Total cost was $21.40. The owner takes your order and is very efficient. Shes all business, no nonsense or chit chat or making conversation. She got my coffee and handed me my change. That was my cue to find a seat. Half & half Creamer is at the order counter. Food came out in about 10 minutes. Potatoes are amazing. The pancakes have what might be margarine on them. Its been awhile since i last had margarine so i've forgotten the taste. She gives you two containers of syrup which might be high fructose corn syrup but not sure. Loved the pancakes with syrup. Pancakes are light & airy cakes. Denver omelette had small bits of ham, diced onions & green bell peppers with melted cheese on top. The egg portion of the omelette is thin. Bathroom is dark and musty smelling. Probably needs to have the air ducts cleaned & some scented odorizer in the bathrooms. There is a fish in a fish tank near the order counter but there are no plants or rocks in the tank. She has Fox news on the TV the entire time. I've read other comments that the speaker on the drive thru crackles when you talk ir she talks. So, it needs to be replaced but i dont think she'll do it. The prices are 40% cheaper than Angelos on corner of Muirlands & El Toro. They both are diners with similar menus. read more

This place is way too expensive for the quality of food. I think the hamburger meat on my patty melt was applied with a paint brush, it was so thin. And the rye bread was barely rye. Very low quality. Next time I crave a patty met I'll just make one at home. read more

We have been coming here since I was a kid. Best food. Even better owner. We will continue coming here for many more years to come!

Changed my mind about eating here cause the lady that took my order over the phone was so rude, had attitude like she didn't even want to take my order and I was very nice. Idc what you're going through you don't need to take your anger out on customers just because you're unhappy. The food was probably good but I don't even want to try it cause I don't want that evil energy touching my food. read more

This place brings back a lot of great old memories for me. It's honestly sad to see how empty it has become these days. The burgers are still just as good as I remember, which says a lot about the consistency over the years. I really wish the owners would invest in renovating the space and bringing some life back into it. With a little attention to the atmosphere and some stronger marketing, this place could easily become popular again. It has so much potential and history--it would be a shame to see it fade away. Overall, great burgers, but I hope to see this place get the refresh and support it deserves before it's too late. read more

The turkey burger was an excellent burger very fresh and delicious the fries were overcooked as usual very hard and really not good at all. The owner was her usual self very cold not friendly never welcomes you or thanks you and always makes you feel like a stranger. I'm a Vietnam Era Veteran and one thing for sure in all my years coming here not one employee has ever thanked me for my service. they DO NOT like Veterans Guess i'll go back to McDonalds and in and out of course read more

Honestly I was not expecting to like this place so much! We pass by this spot a lot and decided to try it today! We've been craving that diner style restaurant. I'm glad we went in because we will be back! Great food and prices and the owner was nice. //CONTEXT// Came here on a weekday evening. Not crowded but the drive thru was getting busy! There is only 2 workers - the owner and a cook! //FOOD// I got the burger special combo which was $8.75 with fries and a drink! What a steal especially during these times. This was as of Sept 2025. The burger Patty was surprisingly soft and juicy, loved the sauce the used! The fries were amazing! //SERVICE// The lady was helpful! I was slightly concerned based on some reviews but maybe it's because I'm Asian she reminds me of an auntie lol. She was very nice and honestly she's hustling and so busy taking orders and prepping and doing everything! Kudos to her //OVERALL// We found a new burger spot! Super good and yummy! read more

Love this place! Always great service and food is bomb! Gotta get the Zucchini and Onion Rings.

This place has the best burgers in town and chili cheese fries , the owner runs the counter anc is so sweet thank you burger town for a kind and family place to visit read more

This joint hits all the American diner notes perfectly: good food, good prices, generous quantities, fast service, and an underrated feature, great fountain soda. Specifically came here for the zucchini fries and was not disappointed! Perfect cooked! Also solid ranch! Patty melt was tasty and a nice surprise as it's not in many burger menus. The place may not look like much but the dining area was clean and the booths' backings were clearly maintained. Still has the nostalgic feel. A great lunch! read more

Ton of food for the price! Everything is made to order so it's piping hot and fresh. Burgers are juicy and portion of fries is huge. Owner was very polite and fast with my transaction. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a big juicy burger that hits the spot and bonus points for having a drive-thru. Will be back for sure! read more

Love burgers but not my choice of burgers from this location, service is ok but could be better. Food is mid at best & definitely needs to be remodeled inside. read more

Food is mediocre, maybe even below mediocre. Restaurant setting could be better. Looks very run down. There's a drive thru but the speaker sucks. You wait like 5+ mins just for the owner to talk rude to you. "What do you want?" "That's it?" Or just doesn't speak again for a long period of time. I told her my order & she didn't say anything after that so I stayed at the speaker just in case she didn't hear what I said. A good 10 mins go by & she just tells me to pull up. When I pull up she opens the window & says "are you guys good? Usually when I customer is done saying their order they let me know" and I said "well you didn't say anything afterwards how I am supposed to know if you heard me or not?" & she just rolls her eyes & says "is that it?" Food isn't good, I'm sure they don't pass all of the health code regulations just by the looks of it. Don't waste your time or money to come to this place. The lady is rude & has no common decency. She treats people like they're non human. read more

The owner is such a sweet lady; my son and husband has picked up take out several different occasions and we got so much extra fries, extra fried zucchini and extra onion rings!! Their burgers are delicious! They use red onions, patty has a nice smokey char flavor, and the price point is ridiculously reasonable in this 2026 economy! The avocado is fresh, the lettuce wrapped double cheeseburger was assembled neatly with care and had grilled onions. Honestly prefer this place now over all burger places around. Their breakfast menu and variety has something for everyone, it's truly rare to find a place like this in South OC. Highly recommend! read more

This lady (owner) thinks that her shit doesn't stink. She has the biggest chip on her shoulders and verbal abuse to the public. The food is a 5.0 but her arrogance drops it to zero. She is an Asian short person but she thinks that she is the biggest person in the world, by the way she keeps telling I don't care if you give me a bad review. Avoid this place at all time. read more

Have to watch for the bait and switch at the Lake Forest location, the 8.95 burger lunch special on the website says it includes cheese, they even have a picture. Today I was charged extra for cheese and my receipt shows it. It was only a $1.00 more bit it just didn't seem right. The cashier seemed overwhelmed and dismissive. Food was good and reasonably priced. read more

A good spot for a burger, breakfast or other selections. I stopped by today and grabbed lunch. I had the double cheeseburger with fried zucchini and a drink. The food is prepared while you wait and there is a drive thru and dining room. The place has been in business for a long time and at lunch it's quite popular. Recommended. read more

Tastiest burgers in town! Also found out this owner (cute older hardworking mama) covered the bill for a group of 30 mourners. The widow chose Burger Town place because that's where her husband (who recently passed away) enjoyed one of his last meals. Juicy burgers served with the kindest heart. Support small businesses starts here! read more

Always yummy food and great service ... the onion rings are awesome!! May is the sweetest

My son and his friends used to walk here after school. They love the owner because she was always so nice to them. Last week I drive 5 of the kids to an away basketball game and stopped at a Carls Jr in the way. My bill was $80 and i was given the wrong drinks! Today I brought the same 5 kids to Burger Town on the way to their game. I got 5 cheeseburger specials, all with different drinks, and each burger was different (no tomato but add bacon, only onion, only lettuce, etc) and my bill was $46! The burgers and fries were so much better too! AND our complicated order was perfect! Yes, the food takes a little longer than the average drive through but the food is made to order. The kids inhaled their burgers because they were so good! We always get great service here because we come often and the owner remembers us, especially when there's a car full of kids in school uniforms. There's a saying in the service industry--quality, speed, price pick two. I'm always ok with my food taking a little longer knowing I'll get good quality food at great prices. read more

Just an old school café where they make good breakfast with bacon you can't see through, three eggs hashbrowns at the proper price for breakfast... 90 % of restaurants have gone way overboard on cost of a breakfast or lunch . I think I even smelled char grilled burgers on my way out... Flame rules ! Second time here first time was lunch this time was breakfast both very good... Another no BS review by J Bossco read more

My family and I love coming to Burger Town. Mai is the best. She is such a hard worker. Eating in as well as drive thru gives me a nolgastic vibe that takes me to my teen years. The place is always clean as well. Definitely recommend. read more

We've been coming to the diner for over 20 years! They have the best Breakfast burritos, Patty melts, and fries with Ranch ANYWHERE! We go several times a week. The food is great, and the price can't be beat! We like to take family and friends when they come to town! The owner now recognizes me at the Drive-thru speaker. I always buy a few extra Ranch dressings for other dishes during the week! See you tomorrow, Mai! :) read more

Food is amazing. I had the California burger with fries. It was exquisite. I also had the breakfast burrito. It was out of this world. The lady taking the orders is so sweet. I don't think enough people take the time to ask her how she's doing. If the order takes too long she'll let the kitchen know that is unacceptable. I love how the restaurant supports local sports teams and schools. The ambiance inside is that of a diner. It is very neat and clean. You could eat off the floor if you wanted. Please continue supporting this great local establishment read more

I have driven by this locally owned Burger stop for years and I never went in. I finally did and I'm glad. The place is huge and spacious inside so you can find a table and you don't have to sit next to anybody. But you got a TV playing so you can get your Fox TV on during the day. The old lady at the counter was very nice and gave me some great but in a good way! Old man was in the back cooking. I got the Patty melt fries and a drink. Everything was delicious next time I'm in the area I will go in again! read more

I came here for lunch with a friend for the first time. I was impressed with how clean the restaurant was. The lady (I believe she is the owner) who took our order was friendly and very patient as we looked over their large menu. I had the pastrami burger and it was delicious. We also had the zucchini and they were the best I have had in a long time. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality of the food. I will be coming back on a regular basis. read more

Great burgers, good service, and convenient location. Zucchini sticks are a must try.

Photos are of Burnt rings, hard bread. If I could give no stars I would. The lady at the drive thru was very rude and yelled at you the whole time. Food took a long time to come out then was super cold! Even the pastrami had cold grease like it had been sitting out. The bread was hard and the onions in the burgers were very thick. Fries were cold and no flavor. Onion rings were burnt. Hamburgers had no flavor and very little sauce. Yellow chilis were good . The chili was very sweet like cinnamon and was not good. Overall do not recommend.. Angelos down the street is wayyy better. read more

The food is nostalgic. Small diner vibes! The breakfast bacon sandwiches are my favorite! I crave them! I don't get the negative reviews for the owner. The woman who owns this place has always been super nice to me! I tried to tip her and she wouldn't take it! She said how beautiful my new rescue dog was as he was in the drive thru with me! She's awesome and is always running around working! I'm always so happy to see her! We had the ham and cheese omelet, the breakfast special and 3 bacon breakfast sandwiches for our house!! Prices are unmatched! We are regulars now! read more

With the whole fast food prices getting ridiculous thing, I decided to come here out of spite. I'd much rather support a mom n pop shop and at the same time pay less for a much better quality product. And boy, was it good. I got a California burger, fries, and a vanilla milkshake. Way too much food. The burger is massive. The fries are for 2. The shake is DENSE. And the fries were hot and crispy. The burger had really good flavor, definitely had that charbroiled taste. The milkshake was awesome too! I really wasn't expecting much, but it was really good. I see a lot of complaints about the woman who works here and likely owns the place. To be honest, I think it's pretty funny and it wouldn't impact my review if she was snappy or impatient or whatever. But I've been here twice now and she is super friendly! So don't be scared of the reviews. Also, I was the only one there at 7pm on a Friday night. So please go and support them. You'll realize what you've been missing! read more

I passed by this place all the time for years, there's not many places you can grab an entire cheeseburger combo for under $10, and they load up on the fries! Tastes great, great prices with plenty of deals and doesn't give me acid reflux like most fast food places, thats a big win for me. Burger Town USA one of the few places offering fair prices in today's economy and I love to come and support this business. The lady who runs the place is always super nice and very detailed, never had my order wrong! read more

I have been here several times over the past year. I have always received good food in a clean environment with courteous and helpful customer service. I have had breakfast here a time or two which was good. Mostly, I have had their hamburger special. A hamburger with lettuce, tomato, red onion, thousand island dressing, etc. This comes with a mountain of French fries and a fountain drink. At this time, the price is a very reasonable $6.95. I struggle to eat this because it is a fair amount of food. I read some reviews complaining about the speed of the drive thru. I have not tried the drive thru. However, when you consider that they cook all the food fresh per order. No mountains of food waiting under heat lamps like most fast food chains. Seems reasonable to wait for freshly cooked food at a fair price. I like supporting this mom and pop business. read more
