The Dirty and The Bacon Jam (aka The Lover) had us levitating. Our burgers came with thick, juicy patties with a crispy sear, packed with flavor, and loaded with saucy toppings. Dreams really do come true! And whatever you do, don't skip the elote. It's so fragrant and tasty. Then save room for dessert because the warm brownie banana bread, fresh from the oven, is the perfect finale. What really makes this place special isn't just the food - it's the vibe. It feels less like a restaurant and more like a neighborhood backyard party where everyone knows each other. The owner greets regulars by name, welcomes first-timers like old friends, and before you know it, you're chatting with the table next to you while burgers sizzle on the grill. Some places serve great burgers. This place serves great burgers AND makes you feel like you belong. It's easy to see why it's become one of our favorite hidden gems. 100% will be coming back again and again. read more

Honestly, one of the best burgers I've had in a long time! That bacon jam burger makes me go out of my way every time I fly into LA and have to commute down to San Diego and it's been more than worth the visit every single time. They don't do takeout unless they aren't busy but the staff is super kind and I've never been told no :') Update: I went back the same day I made this review and a guy I didn't recognize made my burgers and they were no where near as good as they usually are smh. Ask the big guy to make yours, he knows what he's doing!! read more

BEST DARN BURGER I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME!!! With that out of the way, let me start by saying that thus place is a freaking gem and needs to have 17 more locations. Had the Dirty and the bacon jam is simply the bees knees. No fluff, no frill, just damn good food. Get the elote corn if you have the room as well. Place is mildly hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for or if you follow the directions from Yelp. It's located right off the street next to the golf course (was not what u was expecting) Everything was made as fresh as anything could be fresh. Saw them form the burger from scratch. Everything about this place belongs in your mouth. read more

Crack - 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

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

We were craving smash burgers on our drive home and did a quick search. This place was on the way so we decided to give it a shot. Truly one of the best burgers we've had. Highly recommended! 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

WOW! This place is easily the best all-around. Everything we tried was phenomenal: the burgers (the "Dirty" is a must-try), the corn on the cob, the coleslaw, and the tri-tip tacos. The root beer on tap was an amazing bonus, and the sweet touch of cookies on our way out made it extra special. Exceptional service from start to finish! 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

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

Why didn't we make it over here sooner? My husband and daughter came for lunch today and I am still thinking about these flavors. Seriously one of the best burgers I've had but the real delight here is the other treats. Corn off the cob with some sort of fiendish seasoning that makes it creamy buttery and tangy all at once, potato salad that is definitely not your Grandmas and has loads of flavor, a red cabbage slaw that made me ask what delightful taste that was (hint basil and ginger pops here and there), and finished with cookies that were hot from the oven. Did I mention fresh root beer from a draft tap? The service was great too but run here for the flavors. Not one miss on today's menu for sure! Can't wait to go back soon and try the tacos. 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

Talk about finding a hidden treasure inside the Bixby Estates. If you are looking for great food with a relaxing atmosphere that is dog friendly, and overlooking the golf club estates, then Crack burger is the spot. The owner David was the funniest, and helped guided us through his menu. He even went out of his way to make a few things that weren't on the menu for that day. 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!!!! Delicious Food, Top tier Service with a relaxing atmosphere will definitely be my go to when I'm in the area. read more

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

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.

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

Had the "Dirty Burger" today on my first visit to Crack, along with a real draft root beer. Burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and topped off with bacon jam. I thinking the bacon jam inspired the name "Crack" because that on a burger could be classified as an addiction. Had a side of chicken and white bean chili which only manners kept me from licking the cup, and a sample of their fine rice-a-roni salad. A fresh baked, powdered sugar cookie with a delicious cherry was served and did not disappoint. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Crack - platter o'burgers! - 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
