Been here a few times now, and each time the food has been great. I've tried the spicy chicken burger, and each time it's been delicious. The greens have been fresh, and the chicken itself had a great flavor. The carne asada fries are legit - tasty meat, and crunchy criss-cut fries. Friend had a spicy burger and she also enjoyed hers. Everyone there has been so nice, and will definitely come back.

Don't mind the aesthetics of how the restaurant looks. It's very functional, you get a pretty decent parking lot, and the restaurant is habitable where you can sit and eat. For a great price, the chicken sandwich combo was.... Amazing! Better than Howlin Ray's by far. The fries? Perfect. The owner and his crew are great. Very nice and approachable. They ensure you have a great dining experience and enjoy the food. Above and beyond service, price, and food.

Brick Style Fries, Hole in the Wall Burger, Spicy Chicken Sandwich Combo

OH!!!! MY!!!! GAWD!!!!! Legit the best burger spot I've had hands down. I'm never going to the spot with the yellow arrow (iykyk). All their burgers are smash burgers, but it's not super thin so you can enjoy the juicy-ness. You can upgrade your fries to the brick fries which include waffle fries, cheese, and grilled onions with a side of their special sauce. And get this- the fries here are actually good! I love that they have non-beef burgers too for those with dietary restrictions! My boyfriend got a spicy chicken burger and it was SO juicy! I believe they use chicken thighs here (not breast) which makes all the difference. This is truly a hole in the wall, but I hope they continue getting the hype they deserve. We will be back!

Small local burger spot with great value. Burgers start at $9.99 and combos are $14.99 (cash prices). The waffle fries were super crispy and the burgers were tasty. My only wish is a chewier bun. No restroom inside and not a lot of seating, but the staff was friendly and it has that small local-spot feel.

Spicy Chicken Sandwich Combo with Brick Style Fries

Hole in the Wall Burger absolutely lives up to its name. Run by a mom, dad, and son, this place is pumping out pure local perfection. We got the Hole in the Wall Burger, Spicy chicken sandwich, and brick fries. They do their own custom blend in the burger so it's perfectly and deliciously fatty. The chicken sandwich was juicy and the cut was thick. The fries are cross cut tempura battered, and the brick style includes the mom's special sauce, grilled onions, and cheese. If you look at the menu from years past, you'll see that the price has only changed by $1 in the past 5 or 6 years. It's very impressive that they can keep the prices low so the average joe isn't priced out of a humble burger joint. Much respect to the family that owns this place. Y'all just earned a customer for life.

Hole in the Wall Burger seriously surprised me in the best way. I ordered the California Burger and it was way tastier than I expected. Everything was wrapped neatly, and the ingredients were fresh (especially the avocado), filling, and well balanced. The fried egg was such a great touch and really took the whole burger to the next level. The only small piece of feedback I have is about the takeout packaging. The burger comes in a paper food tray inside a bag, so there is nothing covering the top. It smelled absolutely mouthwatering, but the burger is pretty large and I kind of wished it came in a take out container that closed so I could save it for later. Bottom line, this was a delicious, filling burger and I would absolutely come back for another. A sturdier takeout setup would make it even more of a win.

Saw this place about a year ago when looking for burgers in the area and forgot about it. It was time to try a new burger joint and saw it again. I am glad we came I got the hole in the wall burger and it was really good! Good crisp lettuce, crunchy onion and really good flavor. They got a real good sauce. Waffle fries made perfectly, crispy crunch no floppy soggy nasty. Nicely done! A few tables interior to sit and nice and open. Looked clean inside as well. Gentleman at the counter great presence and friendly. Definitely do recommend coming here and giving them a try. I'm going to try another burger next time!

Talk about a turn of events! We initially wanted chicken and drove to KFC, but were really turned off by the appearance of the place and the food. We looked on Yelp for Mediterranean instead, but weren't feeling it. Scrolling through choices on yelp and on a mission to satisfy my craving, I suddenly had a craving for a burger. My palate insisted on Hole in the Wall Burgers and I am so glad we went! We were welcomed by the owners, Ricky and his father, Sergio, with the warmest greetings and smiles. The place was spotless, and the menu was super easy to read with great combo choices. I ordered the famous Hole in the Wall Burger and Brick Fries, and we got a California Burger to go. You can taste that they grind their own meat, making the patties incredibly fresh, and the lettuce and raw onions were so crisp. I'm not usually a burger person, but this is the only place I will eat them. Heck yea, I will definitely come back!

We had Hole In the Wall Burger bookmarked for some time and finally decided to stop by to give them a try. It took us a while to give this place a try because it is a good 15+ minute drive for us and their menu wasn't very large, but we were glad we made the drive. We ordered the California Burger, the Hole In the Wall Burger, the Spicy Burger, and the Asada Fries. All the burgers were juicy, well cooked, and well seasoned. The Spicy Burger lived up to its name and had a good kick. Their special sauce was very reminiscent of similar thousand island-like burger sauces, but was a bit richer and had a bit more depth. Their asada fries were very flavorful and well loved that they had a lot of onions and used waffle fries. If there was any little thing to change, is would be that their buns were not as tender as I would have liked, but that didn't stop us from truly enjoying the burgers. We met Ricky who helped us with our order. He was super friendly and really made our first experience enjoyable. He also told us that his mother cooks the Mexican food in the back which was cute. Hole In the Wall is a great burger joint gem and we will definitely be back.

Carne Asada Taco Combo, Hole in the Wall Burger Combo

We decided to try Hole In the Wall Burger since we were shopping in the area. The restaurant is small with a few tables, definitely a hole in the wall spot. The worker took our order right away and we waited a few minutes before he brought our food to our table. We got the carne asada taco combo which came with two carne asada tacos, chips, guacamole, and a drink. And we also got the hole in the wall burger combo which came with fries, a drink, and their signature sauce. Everything tasted really fresh and yummy! I especially loved how the fries stayed crispy throughout our whole meal. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here and would come back again.

Hole in the Wall Burger, Criss Cut Fries, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, side of hole in the wall sauce, and peppers.
Jarryd E.

Hole in the Wall Burger in Lake Forest is one of those spots that just never misses. The burger is juicy, packed with flavor, and tastes like everything was prepped fresh and with intention. It always hits. What really takes it over the top though is their house sauce, often called the Hole in the Wall sauce. It is next level. Bold, savory, and way more interesting than your standard burger sauce. Do yourself a favor and order an extra side because dipping the fries in it is non negotiable. My mom went with the spicy chicken sandwich and it was great. The spice level is totally manageable, flavorful without being overpowering. If you like a little more heat, grabbing a side of peppers is the move. It adds that extra kick without drowning out the sandwich. On top of the food, this place really shines because of the people. It is family owned and you can feel it. Everyone is genuinely friendly and excited to serve you, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant itself is clean, quiet, and comfortable with good vibes all around. This is one of those reliable spots you keep coming back to because it just does everything right. Highly recommend.

Ask the Community - Hole In the Wall Burger

Which meat options are zabiha halal?

The place says halal, so that would mean all.

Is this the same Hole in the Wall as the one that was in West La then Santa Monica? Same owner? Tater tots? Caprese Burger with the pretzel buns?

Hi I checked. No this one is the only one in the Country (World?) Hope this helps

Gluten-free bun options?

Sorry no i don't! Just give them a call very friendly staff!

BOSS BURGER w/GOUDA, GRILLED ONIONS and GARLIC AIOLI w/LETTUCE: -- very nice brioche bun -- plenty of food for my dinner portion -- huge piece of green leaf lettuce -- nice tasting, especially with the sauce on it -- more of a flat style/smash style burger versus thick and juicy -- the good news is that regardless of the beef or cooking style, between the lettuce, sauce and cheese you are not dealing with a dry burger situation -- garlic aioli paired with gouda works beautifully every time -- FRIES are a larger cut version of the best In-N-Out fries you can picture. Very authentic potato taste and lightly salted.

Since I had never been there before I opted to use the screen so I could look through all my options. I decided to build my own burger. My burger took about 10 minutes for it come out. I did have to remind the staff member that I ordered an oreo shake but once I pointed it out he confirmed and got started on it right away. I found the burger to be well made and filling. They had indoor seating which is where I sat and there was plenty of room to sit for it being dinnertime. The burger was a little more on the expensive side but I felt like I could taste the quality which makes it feel more worth it.
