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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ricky, keep doing what yall are doing we met today after I said we saw your business on a lake forest page on Facebook! Let me tell you from entering and talking to me about your family business you also answered questions I hadn't even begun to ask, Carne asada fries with the crisscut!!!! FIREEEE!!! Then I had the hole in the wall burger SO GOOD AND EVERYTHING WAS PACKED WITH FLAVOR AS WELL AS TENDER ASADA IN N OUT GOT NOTHING ON THIS MOM AND POP SHOP!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and chatting a bit with me the MEAT IS FRESH NEVER FROZEN FOR REAL!! A+ new burger spot! RICKY WHEN I FIND YOU RICKY, RICKY IMMA HUG YOU RICKY. Seriously best burger spot in town we have tried. Skip 5 guys, In n out and all the other joints THIS IS GASSSSSS PUROOOO GASSSSSS "ILL BE BACK!"
Good food. Had the spicy burger my girl had the tacos. would recommend stopping by if in the area. Only problem is no bathroom.
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.

We found this place when we were driving by and when I looked it up on Yelp, it had great reviews so we went the next day. First off, great customer service. The lady at the register was so nice and helpful. She asked if it was our first time and went over the menu and gave us recommendations. We ended up getting the Hole in the wall burger and spicy chicken sandwich, with one of them being a combo. The burgers were fresh and delicious. I loved that the California one came with a fried Egg. The waffle fries were delicious too and the sauce it came with was perfect. I think next time we can split a burger. Overall, great burger! Will come back. read more

Oh wow Im so surprised we discovered this place in Lake forest area! Fast and friendly service! They have a few seatings inside. Very unique flavor. They have a lot of options, the beef patty is sooo juicy and tender. My california burger consists of beef and fried eggs with avocado.( very interesting combo, but it fills me up really fast and I couldnt finish it). The fries!!! You must order the combo to try the fries out, crunchy and thick cut. The Frenchfries here is so enjoyable to munch on , warning: its so good you might want to order more! read more

Fantastic food! I got the spicy burger and the criss-cut fries. The spicy burger has delicious, fresh-sliced jalapeno and mashed avocado. The onions and tomatoes were also delicious and fresh-tasting. The burger meat tasted like it was made from scratch - tender, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth, with just the right amount of crumbliness. The special sauce is pretty great too - distinctive and flavorful. My boyfriend has been here three times and he says it's probably the best burgers he has ever had. He has been raving about this place for a while. Service is also great. Super friendly guy, enthusiastic about the food. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Once again, I was craving a burger after going to the beach and came across this place on Yelp. It was a 27 min drive from the beach but well worth it. I got the spicy burger and my bf got the California burger. My bf said the patty was juicy and cooked well. They have this one spicy aioli sauce that they give you on the side and it is definitely THEEE sauce. We got the Brick Fries too which is a variation of the animal fries from inn out. The sauce/seasoning was good but I'm not too sure about the waffle cut fries.. I think it would be better with regular French fries The service was amazing and I think his name is Ricky? He was extremely nice and courteous. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area or if you need a good burger after the beach (even though it's not That close to the beach) read more

Great little "Hole In The Wall" burger place. Food was about 4 stars. The extra star is for the man and woman working there on March 15th. The inside of the restaurant was nice and clean. The Spicy Burger was actually pretty good. The ingredients were fresh. It had a nice amount of avocado that was perfectly ripe. The jalapeños still had a slightly crisp bite with a nice kick. They were very fresh.The burger itself was hot and juicy. Cooked about medium well. The waffle style fries were very tasty especially with the dipping sauce. There were a large amount of them too. Hubby had the chicken quesadilla and it tasted great. It was super hot and tasty. read more
Fries are criss cut and have a great crunch to them. Not the biggest fan of there ranch they make in house, but I like that it's authentic. Lastly I had the spice burger and it had a good kick to it. You know it's good when your lips are stinging a bit after you are done with the burger. read more

Found this because of all the great Yelp reviews. If you like a messy, tasty burger, this is the place. We had the California Burger which was awesome my daughter had Hole in the Wall Burger. Both were juicy and great! Super friendly service; we were greeted with a smile by the nice gentleman. The interior can be crowded when it's busy. FYI: There's no customer restroom. read more

Discovered this place and had their Hole in the Wall burger. The burger was fantastic! Not only was the food great, so was the service. Found out that it's family owned. Nothing like supporting a family owned business! Their passion for the food and business hits with every bite! If you're in the area, definitely give this spot a try. I'll be back to possibly try other items in the menu! read more

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
Have not seen in any of the pictures or on their menu that its Halal? Can anyone confirm if its actually Zabiha Halal?
Yes it is . It is on the store front glass. Hope it helps
Gluten-free bun options?
Sorry no i don't! Just give them a call very friendly staff!
Do they have a vegetarian option?
No. It's a pretty basic menu... only 7 items to pick from, and they're all meat based.
Are the burgers flambrolied or done on a skillet?
Neither... on a commercial grill.. Way better than Habbit or 5 guys
Is all your meat Halal? Or is that an option?
Yes it says so on the front glass. Hope this helps
Are they open during this quarantine for take out?
Yes they are open. Call ahead or walk in.
Does the restaurant serve halal meat? Does it say on the menu or restaurant that they serve halal meat?
Yes they do
Do you have gluten free options, I love a good burger but have to eat gluten free for medical reasons?
We can make the burgers protein style but due to cross contamination, we are not an allergy friendly location although we do not use peanut oil nor do we use tree nuts there is always the risk of cross contamination especially with people who have…
Is this restaurant halal?
Yes we asked for a receipt and the gentleman kindly showed us the receipt for halal chickens
