Funky place at the Golf course. Burgers are very good. Sides are good, they change frequently The burgers are grilled out on the patio. Well worth a visit. read more

Often a friend and I go on a quest for a great burger, usually based on a tip or word of mouth. Crack does indeed have a great burger. For our first visit we just went with the Dirty Burger which was awesome. If you want a more traditional burger with lettuce and tomato be sure to ask which one that is, the guys running this place will go out of their way to please you, they are great. I really liked the laid back and relaxing vibe of the outside patio over looking the golf course. The burger is cooked outside on a grill right in front of you. You are free to talk to the cook while he does his thing. The whole setup is kind of like a home style grill party. The burger features a very tasty beef patty, possibly a lean chuck, but plenty juicy without being messy. The patty extends beyond the bun and is not a paper thin massacre like other smash style burgers. While I'm a fan of a perfectly cooked thick burger, this burger passed the test of taste, texture and size. The bun was decent, and held up well through the entire devouring process. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Absolutely blown away by the flavor of the burgers here. I came in with zero expectations but now that I've come here I'm going to come here whenever I get the chance. The brioche buns complimented the burgers so well, I can't wait to try everything on the menu Recommendations by the team were spot on. read more

Went to Long Beach on a nice Sunday afternoon. Was looking for a unique place to eat in the area. The one that stuck out is Crack! It's located at the Golf Course in a nice and secluded area with a balcony for dogs if you got one. They had full pictures of their entire menu, we ended up getting their Lovers special, split of the top two burgers in half: one with a bacon jam and one more of a classic bacon cheese lettuce style. They made it on a charbroiled grill right next to us. Got sides of pineapple cole slaw and chicken bean soup. Everything was quality and fresh, better than manybof the other options nearby that I've already eaten out at. For a good burger joint and a nice place to relax for a bit, try out Crack! I'll be back eventually. read more

Crack - Lover's Half and Half - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

This spot never misses. I love burgers and somehow this place feels like I'm dining for the first time each time as the burger is always as good as I remember (if not better) and I don't get tired of ordering the bacon jam over and over again lol. The owner usually is the one cooking the burgers as I've experienced in the past on the outside grill. It's connected to a golf course too if that's a hobby you enjoy. Service fast and price reasonable for one of the best burgers in SoCal if not worldwide. Lots of golf art and some merch to buy like golf balls in the connected store read more

This burger joint is directly connected to the Bixby Village golf course. Their menu is very simple and has mostly burgers. They'll ask you if you want a side but they're actually $3 each so be mindful of that. They also come in a small plastic almost Costco size sample cup, wish the portions were a bit bigger since it's an additional add to the meal. They specialize in the bacon jam burgers, they make each burger on the outdoor grill so it takes longer for them to make. For the price point of $15-$16 per burger, I would've expected it to be much larger in size. You also order at the counter, and the tab doesn't get closed till later which is a bit odd and confusing on whose order gets out first if you are ordering in a larger groups. read more

I've been going around town looking for the best burgers. Crack is located right off the golf course and you make your order at the small restaurant at the pro shop. I ordered the Ortega and the Bacon Jam. I went to the patio to chill at the tables and look at the golf course while they go my burgers going on the flat top. I got my food in less than 10 minutes. The Ortega was flavorful, but the Bacon Jam got me. I'll be ordering this one next time I'm in the area. To compliment my burger, I got a potato salad. On the small side, but it's solid too. read more

Started with the corn salad, which was fresh and had a great thousand island type of dressing. The white bean chicken chili was hardy, warm and delicious. The downside is they came in these very small containers, and it was a little awkward to eat. Tried the Dirty and Bacon Jam burger; the flavor profiles were very similar and tasted the same. Tried the beef on its own and it didn't have much seasoning. The flavor was fair and okay. Ordered the root beer on tap; it was okay, felt like it could have had a stronger licorice taste. However, that might not be the restaurant's fault. The service was amazing! They were friendly and gave us a little cookie at the end of our meal. The parking lot is small, but we managed to find parking quickly on a sunday afternoon. Small cozy restaurant. read more

My coworker turned heads at work today when he said he wanted a Crack Burger, so we decided to stop by for lunch on a weekday. This place serves really amazing smash burgers that were incredibly delicious. Location: This green-and-white burger stop is located right between the golf courses at Bixby Village. It does not have large signage and is independently owned. Parking: Free parking is available in the lot next to the restaurant. The lot is a bit uneven and bumpy in some areas. Service: The staff were very friendly to our group, especially when we walked in looking a bit confused because of the lack of signage outside. They explained the menu, gave recommendations, and made our food right away. We got to enjoy the nice patio view of the golf course, with the smell of patties searing on the grill wafting through the air. Food: Amazing! We tried three burgers as a combo: The Dirty, Bacon Jam, and Ortega. Each burger was cooked outside on their patio grill overlooking the golf course and came out super juicy and flavorful. The Bacon Jam was a fan favorite. The lettuce paired really well with the smash burger and sauces. We also tried the white bean chili and macaroni salad. While those were good, the burgers were definitely the main highlight. They also have excellent root beer on tap, poured into chilled glasses. Overall: I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area and want a burger that goes beyond typical fast food. It is a great spot with a nice view, quality food, and a very creative name. read more

It was a cool place right up, until the end. The person I'm assuming is the owner actually asked us to wait before placing our order because he was slammed. Understandable. So then, another guy took our order and also cooked the food. When we ordered, we didn't get any drinks, but he told us we could help ourselves to the fridge. I'm assuming because they were older, the soda can we had actually still had a Halloween ad on it and were in the month of December. We ended up not drinking anything but still had the can with us and when were ready to pay and leave. At checkout, the owner pointed out that we had a can. The guy ringing us up just stood there next to us without saying anything, so I tried to explain the situation. Unfortunately, the owner seemed to assume we were trying to steal and had already processed it, and he wasn't really listening as I was explaining what happened. The food itself was good, above average. I can see why they don't serve fries, since they'd probably take away from the burger experience. I recommend getting sliders so you can enjoy and separate the savory and sweet sauces. But it wasn't worth the price. Overall, not terrible, but that interaction left such a bad taste in my mouth that I won't be going back. I've never felt that embarrassed, especially with him not hearing me out and just clicking away on the tablet. Felt super inferior and stupid. And just a heads up, the tip defaults to 20% so be weary of that. read more

Crack Burger. A hidden gem in Long Beach. I have visited several times and it is delicious every time. The owner is hilarious. Good service every visit. It's the best thing that has happened at a Bixby Village Golf Course. read more

Crack Burger in Long Beach is the definition of a neighborhood gem, and after coming here 4 times now I can confidently say it's a consistent 5 star experience. A huge part of that is the owner Dave. Straight up stand up guy. He genuinely treats people with kindness and it shows every single visit. The first time I came with my girl he gave us root beer floats on the house. The second time he noticed my girl was cold and brought her a blanket plus hooked us up with some white bean chili also on the house. When I came with my dad Dave blessed us with a free brownies, and same thing when I came with my friend. That's not normal customer service anymore that's real hospitality. 10/10 on service every time and shoutout to Dave for always showing love to the people he's serving. The spot itself is super chill and laid back right on the golf course. You can eat inside but the patio is where it's at. Sitting outside watching the greens while you eat is such a vibe especially on a nice day. Now the food. You honestly can't go wrong with any burger here. I've had a few different ones and they've all been really good, it just depends on what you're in the mood for. Today I went with the Ortega and it hit the spot. I paired it with the potato salad and the white bean chili. Both were good, but that white bean chili is GREAT especially when it's cold out. Add a lager with it and it's the perfect afternoon meal. No complaints at all. If you haven't tried Crack Burger yet do yourself a favor and go. You'll leave happy and you'll probably be planning your next visit before you even finish your food. read more

Hi All,' The Hubbie and I tried another burger place from our Long Beach Burger Passport. Today, we went to Crack in Long Beach. It's located at the Bixby Village Golf Course. Those darn golfers always seem to keep the best burgers a secret. But, no more. The Hubs and I both had the recommended Bacon Jam Burger. OOO La La! The bacon jam had a hint of sweet, caramelized onions and bacon, with cheese and a generous slab of beefsteak tomato to make this burger complete. They cook it up for you on an outdoor BBQ on the deck overlooking the fairways. They close at 6pm on Sundays, so we were just in time for a picturesque sunset as we finished our meal. The service was fast and friendly. This is a perfectly no frills dining experience which golfers typically like. The only downside I can mention is that they do not offer french fries. Too bad because as I ate the Bacon Jam Burger, I couldn't help but imagine, steak fries covered in bacon jam, cheese and pico de gallo for "golfer's nachos." But that's just me. I would definitely stop to pick up a couple burgers to go on my way home from work. The link below is an article the Hubs read before we left the house. Great story! Great burgers. It made the $20 I paid for the Long Beach Burger Passport worth the money. Give it a try! https://la.eater.com/2022/5/12/23068809/long-beach-hot-new-hidden-burger-crack-golf-course-bixby-village-los-angeles read more

We ended up getting the dirty and bacon jam burger, with crispy potato salad, pineapple coleslaw, and elote grilled corn on the cob with free banana pudding!!!!

In Long Beach for a festival and was a bit malnourished after day 1 so we were craving some hearty burgers. Did some quick research and found that Crack was one of the top burger choices. Arrived in the middle of the suburbs at a golf course to find a small burger shop inside. They have indoor and outdoors seating viewing the golf course and they grill on a flattop outside. Had to try their bacon jam since it was what they were known for and was not disappointed in the end. I also ordered a side of potato salad that was quite nice and refreshing to contrast the burger. The burger itself was very juicy, cooked perfectly, with a little bit of mayo at the bottom to prevent it from being too rich. I enjoyed the bacon jam, but found it a little too sweet for my tastes overall. All in all, it was an amazing burger, I think I would've preferred just a little less bacon jam or something spicy to cut into the sweetness. read more

I've visited this place over 5xs for the love of the 15$ jam burger but yesterday I went w a friend & had a burger & after we ate the owner asked us why we are so quiet & if we were stoned ??? & then we heard a group of people laughing while we walked out as if he was cracking jokes. We literally just come to eat & leave so that was a weird question. But after feeling uncomfortable a couple times from the owners presence I will not be returning. I've never met an owner of a business that ask customers that come to eat & support such stupid questions. They should be offering to go orders or takeout. read more

Crack - Dirty burger - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

This simple, little burger place is located in the clubhouse at Bixby Village golf course and the experience is like attending a secret, gourmet backyard barbecue. The menu consists of several burgers which they grill to order out on the patio. There are a couple of indoor tables as well as several out on said patio. Customers order at the counter and pay after eating ("we want to make sure you like everything before you pay" I was told). I ordered the bacon jam burger and a glass of draft root beer. I also grabbed a bag of chips and sat out on the patio. The centerpiece of every table is a roll of paper towels which you'll likely need as the burgers can be messy. As I sat down, a young woman came out and grilled my burger and in a short time it was prepared and delivered to my table on a paper plate along with an enormous, frosty-cold glass of the most amazing root beer I've ever had. As you can imagine, the juicy burger, covered in melted cheese, had a smokey flavor and was dressed with lettuce, tomato, mustard & mayo, and a stunningly delicious bacon jam. The seasoning on the burger also added to the flavor. As I finished, the owner, a cool and funny fellow, offered a cookie on the house. The strawberry-chocolate chip cookie was a true taste treat. I really felt welcomed in that casual, "like family" sort of way. It's the sort of place you leave wanting to come back again as soon as possible. Parking is available in their lot or on the street. As is true with so many great culinary delights I'd otherwise not know about, I'm so glad I read a Yelp review that recommended this place. Thanks Chris D.! read more

Tried the Crack Smash Burger with bacon jam and wow--this thing lives up to the name. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The sweet-savory combo of the bacon and jam takes it to the next level. I got a side of the chili, and it was a pleasant surprise. It had unique, layered flavors with just the right amount of kick at the end--not too spicy, just enough to keep things interesting. What made it even better? The setting. It's located right on a golf course, so I got to eat outside, soak up the sun, and watch golfers tee off while I enjoyed my meal. A great vibe all around. read more

This is an example of "I would have never known about this place if it wasn't for yelp". One of the best burgers I've had hidden away in the clubhouse of a community golf course in Long Beach. The drive down Loynes Drive is worth the trip since it's the wonkiest road I've ever driven on. Turn onto Bixby Village and park in the plentiful free parking lot. Head up into the building and you'll be greeted by the awesome owner Dan. Hilarious guy who takes full pride in his business. He handles taking orders, mingling with customers, and finishing the plating once his master cook (can't remember his name) finishes cooking on the grill. It's a simple menu of burgers with different toppings cooked to perfection. There's patio seating with a view of the golf course and some indoor seating. Order at the register and pay when you're done. My wife and I both had the "Dirty Girl Salad" which was a smash burger patty topped with cheddar, chipotle mayo, and housemade mind blowing bacon jam served over a seriously gourmet salad. I was expecting a burger plopped down on a pile of iceberg lettuce and was amazed what a great salad it was. Dan was chopping up everything to order. Blend of lettuces, tomatoes, bell peppers, sundried strawberries, and pickles. After taking a bite I was completely blown away how good this burger was. The bacon jam elevated this burger to a whole new level. Loved it! Besides a few burgers I noticed the instragram account has different daily creations. The day we went he said he was making jalapeno popper burgers. There's also a rotating daily selection of sides. He let us sample his "apple pie baked beans" which sounded odd yet were magical. There is also white bean chicken chili, pineapple coleslaw, rice-aroni pasta salad, potato, salad, macaroni salad, and asian slaw. Even though I avoid sugar drinks he serves microbrewed rootbeer in a frosty mug that was so frosty it was causing ice crystals to form in my drink. Delicious and worth the extra calories. He also gave us free cupcakes to finish off our meal. Do yourself a favor and come here for a burger. read more

Dirty burger was off the hook bacon jam was quality and tasty, but that dirty burger hit. Checked on us and brought us a dessert. Great experience. Need to go back. read more

I finally ventured out to Crack this week. Since the weather was nice, I opted to dine on the patio. It became chilly but the view of golfers playing was worthwhile. I ordered The Dirty and enjoyed it. The combination of bacon jam - cheddar- and patty were nice. The patty was properly seasoned and the chipotle mayo offered a slight heat. The food is made to order - the chef is passionate about the food. I tried the corn salad - appropriately portioned and different from the conventional idea of having fries. The corn salad is a combination of cilantro, bell peppers, dried cranberry, and red onion in champagne dressing. There's a light sweetness from the cranberries and dressing, which balanced the crunchiness and natural sugars from the veggies. I'll be back to order another burger and try a different side. read more

Crack - Ortega burger with add ons - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

I am always in search for who makes the best Smashburger, and although the burger was yummy, I was more compelled to try it because of the bacon jam, which was very tasty however, for me, it was the chicken chili that was the star of the show. The only disappointing thing about the chilli is that it wasn't enough. I can definitely eat a bowl of that chicken chili, and it would be amazing if they served cornbread to go with it, but I know it's not that type of establishment. Nevertheless, going back to the burger, my comparison is always the Smashburger from Win-Dow in Long Beach, if you know you know. So if you are looking for a slightly bigger and thicker Smashburger than this is your place, although they don't add pickles to it, I believe it could've helped to add more salt and acid to the burger. However they have a few different burger options. A lady sitting next to me, said the Ortega burger is her favorite. Unlike other places I have grown accustomed to a slightly thinner, Smashburger, but this one was thick and you definitely don't need a double double this will do the job, I couldn't even finish my burger because how big it was. I also like the touch of the grill print of the letter C on the brioche bun, which was very tasty, the bacon jam was definitely yummy. And the view was absolutely amazing. It felt like I was in another place, the sun was beginning to set, and the breeze was coming in, the trees were whistling, and it definitely made it the optimal environment to forget about my work week. The owner and staff were absolutely great, very welcoming and charming. This is definitely a place where you can invite a group of friends to hang out on the patio have burgers and beers. I don't believe they sell french fries but who needs fries when you have good burgers and an awesome view. read more

Crack - Chicken Chili and Dirty Burger - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

Wasn't really hungry but we saw this place online and got a burger craving since it looks so good. Went the dirty burger. Although the sauce was really scrumptious, I will request less sauce next time. Having that much sauce overpowers the deliciousness of their patty (which they get right here). Maybe request to add some lettuce and tomatoes too so it doesn't feel too unhealthy, lol. The only thing stopping me from coming here more often now is that I can't afford $20 burgers (after tax and tip) all the time-- I bet it's nothing for their golf clientele though. read more

I can't believe I worked at the hospital down the block for a whole year and didn't know about this place until recently. These were the best burgers I've ever had and I usually don't go out of my way to get burgers because I usually will just get In-N-Out and call it a day. The service was amazing and the person who took our order gave us recommendations since it was our first time. We ended up getting The Lover, which was the Dirty and the Bacon Jam cut and split. We were amazed and literally ate in silence because it was just THAT good. Their sauce was just sweet enough to pair very nicely with the savory burgers. They also had fries that day that were perfectly crisp and seasoned well. We sat on an outside patio that had a view of the golf course, and we could also watch them cook our burgers. It was a great vibe overall and I will definitely be back to try the Ortega and their house root beer! read more

Crack - fries and the lover - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

I was in Seal Beach for an afternoon concert and was looking for a place to eat nearby afterward and found this place, a little, unassuming burger joint off a small golf course. The place looks like someone's house, and the owner and assistant cook run burgers and buns to the back porch patio grill from the small kitchen and counter. My table mate and I shared shrimp tacos and tuna salad sandwich on sour dough with a side of Mac and cheese. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, plump and juicy, with a crisp snap in each bite. The tuna salad had a nice blend of sauce and celery, with a hint of mustard. But the havarti and pimento Mac n cheese, quite the definition of gourmet comfort food. And chef Dave gave us samples of the white bean chili and pineapple cole slaw, which were amazing. I'll definitely come back for full servings of those and a burger. Chef Dave was very hospitable and the view of the quaint golfing green from the open patio was pleasant and calming. No hype, this place is a gem, good (memorable twists in simple dishes) food and cheer. read more

After we finished eating we were approached by the staff and accused of not paying for our meals.
