Not only does this place have awesome food, but all of the employees are extremely nice and helpful.. Jackie is amazing and always helps me decide what I want to eat and has become accustomed to what I like. Lilly is one of a kind server, she always brings a smile to the day!!! They have a good selection of beers as well(ladyface=bombdiggity) I've made this a staple of my lunch decisions because of the great service and food that I receive while I'm here!!! read more

Hook Burger - Suoer bomb ahi tuna burger and delicious ladyface beer!!! - Burgers Near Me - Oxnard, California

i love the Bistro Burger / California Burger The restaurant is very clean and people are friendly

Got take out from here while waiting for our Airbnb to be ready for us. After a long drive from up north, we were tired and looking for a quick bite. Saw this place on Yelp with great reviews, and decided to stop by. It's in a large shopping plaza with plenty of parking. We walked in and were able to order to go and get our food right away. The service was really friendly and fast, and the prices were decent. We got Hook burgers with fries and sweet potato fries - burgers came out really juicy and hot! I was really impressed with the thickness and quality of the patties. The fries were good too and the sweet potato fries had an interesting salty sweet topping. I'm glad we stopped here for a quick and delicious meal. read more

What great customer service. They are quick and get you order right the first time, Even during heavy lunch rush hour

As another review pointed out, Oxnard is a generic town, nestled between more interesting ones. I live here and found that statement sad but true. Strip malls are the norm, as are chain restaurants and fast food. When you're in the mood for a *good* burger -- something several notches above Carl's Jr -- your options are few and far (very far) between. While out running errands yesterday, the hubs and I were hankering for a good burger. Unfortunately, we weren't close to the one place we'd found near our neighborhood that serves outstanding burgers (Pirate's Bar & Restaurant near Channel Islands Harbor, FYI). Yelp helped us find Hook Burger, which we'd never heard of before, but the four-star rating gave us hope. All I can says is, "How does this place only have 4 stars while Carl's Jr has 3.5?!" Hook Burger is nowhere in the vicinity of the neighborhood where Carl, Jack, and Wendy live. These are thick, hand-formed patties, laid on a bed of full-leaf (NO STEM) lettuce, juicy tomato and two thick, delicious slices of gourmet dill. The bun is soft brioche and toasted to perfection - lightly crunchy surface (not enough to cut your mouth), while the rest is soft. I ordered the Mushroom burger, but had them leave off the sour cream (?!) and switched from jack to cheddar. A generous helping of fresh (not processed) bacon bits smothered the whole thing. A little mayo & mustard and this burger was one of the best I've had in years! My husband's eyes rolled back in his head with the first bite of his Hickory burger. The fries were fresh-cut and delicious. I'm not sure what the seasoning is -- it's not overly salty, but there's still a good flavor to them all on their own. Add a little ranch for dipping and Bob's your uncle. My only complaint is that their Oreo shake is NOT an Oreo shake. Oreo shakes are vanilla ice cream with Oreo crumbs. Theirs is a CHOCOLATE Oreo shake. Big difference...HUGE. I'm all for restaurants shaking things up a bit, but at least warn a customer when you veer so far from the norm. I didn't complain b/c my hubby was so happy he didn't have to share with me after all...that and I was waaaay too full already. I should mention that it was a *real* ice cream shake though, not some weird chemically goo poured out of a machine. As others have noted, the service here is amazing. No, beyond amazing. I can't recall the last time I ate at a place where every employee, from the greeter to the cashier to the cooks, had smiles plastered on their faces the entire time we were there. I watched as I ate, and even when they were simply chatting with each other, the staff smiled and laughed constantly -- even the kitchen workers behind the swinging door! That suggests this is not only a great place to eat, but also a great place to work, and that means something to me. I'll happily support that kind of business over one where every worker is sullen and depressed. There's a reasonable amount of seating, including outside tables, but I can see how it would get packed at lunch, especially with the hospital so close by. We were there around 1 and there were only a few two-tops left by the time we'd ordered. The decor is interesting and the entire place has a very hip-yet-accessible-for-fogies vibe. That's a hard balance to strike! The menu is a la carte, but even so, the prices are more than reasonable for what you get. We ordered two burgers, two fries and one shake for $26. Two combos at Jack in the Crack (upgraded to curly fries and shakes) totaled $18. Two burger meals plus one beer and a lemonade at the sit-down Pirates pub mentioned earlier cost about $35. So is Hook Burger the BEST burger I've ever eaten in my life? No way, but in relation to the offerings in my current surroundings, they more than earned this five-star review. Even if it sat next door to the absolute best burger in the world, I'd still give it 4.5 stars. PS: Despite the fact Oxnard is a little 'generic', I still love living here...and now I love it just a little more! read more

I was ready to give them a 5 star review before I even took a bite out of my burger. Showed up for take out, customer service was beyond fabulous. Very attentive, even went out of their way to open the door for me on the way out (and I'm no senior or disabled person that would justify it) Now the food was delicious probably closer to 4-4.5 stars but service made it a solid 5. Full meal of their top burger, fries, and a drink came out to $12. Will come here again! read more

living in Santa Barbara has it's perks, but sometimes I just need to venture out to Ventura for my montly Target runs and to see malls and real life happening! I was craving a burger and since Eureka Burger came into town in SB, I have higher expectations for juicy burgers. I enjoy that they are USDA grass fed, really delicious beef! This place dominates Eureka burger in regards to flavor and selection and PRICE! They are half if not more CHEAPER than Eureka! The burgers are delicious, plump and filling. They have a beer selection and bar area inside of the restaurant and their ranch is amazing! I enjoyed their sweet potato fries and thought their buns were heavenly! WILL BE BACK! read more

See all

I've been a fan of hook burger for years now. The vegetarian options that they offer are super tasteful and the milkshakes are yummy! They also have a stellar selection of beer too read more

Being in Oxnard can make me really depressed. All they have are chains that don't even compare to other locations and terrible service (there are a few exceptions to this rule) and lots and lots of families everywhere I go. I don't know why, but when I see families... I think dirtyness because kids are just messy and parents nowadays don't discipline their children and don't make them clean up after themselves. *shakes head in disappointment* This theory has proved itself over and over again so when I came to Hook, I was pleasantly surprised that it looked like a more upscale burger place that was immaculately clean and not overflowing with screaming children. Now, onto the food. The burgers were good. I've never really had an upscale burger, so I had nothing to compare it to, but it was at least a notch up from The Habit, which is yummy. The bistro burger is delicious, but my favorite item from this weekend was the bistroclub sandwich. The only disappointment about the sandwich was that the description said it had honey dijon mayonnaise. I'm extremely picky when it comes to mayonnaise because I think that its by far one of the grossest things in the world, but seeing how its in a lot of things that I eat, I'm trying to get over it. I can now have chipotle mayo, and pesto mayo and I figured that I could probably handle honey dijon mayo. nope, that was pure mayonnaise. i had to take off the top layer of bread because i just can't stand it... (don't ask... I think it looks like lard. I can't do it) and it was still delicious. Their milkshakes are really good too!! get the caramel latte milkshake! read more

Only been here twice but Hook is convenient but honestly it's ok you'd have to buy the burgers fries and drink separately it could be pricey. Tried the ahi tuna burger it was good but could of been better. read more

The people behind the already delicious Habit Burger decided to get fancy and open an upscale burger joint bringing the 'Nard the classiest, most delicious burger I've had in all of Ventura County! FINALLY!!! Along with the addition of Urbane Cafe it's great to finally see some legit restaurants in Oxnard and not another Jack in the Crack or Taco Bell (not to knock JITB as we all love it after last call.) So let's get down to business. I've had the Hickory burger twice. Excellent flavor, juicy meat and a toasted bun. Nice presentation as well. Sweet potato fries were good and the ranch was perfect. A good ranch dressing is VERY IMPORTANT and can make or break one's experience at a restaurant FYI. Basically costs the same as going to Carl's Jr but with first class burger quality?! Of course this joint gets FIVE STARS from Rie-Rie! read more

Had hickory burger, fries and lemonade. Burger incredibly delicious. Fries just the way I like them. Reasons for four stars: 1 Table I chose to sit was next to a utility closet with swinging doors, the smell of bleach and other chemicals was so strong I had to change tables. 2 Both tables were so sticky I had to spread several napkins out before I would allow food or body parts touch them. Wonder if tables are ever wiped and how? Disgusting! read more

Just so happened to drop in here on our way home from the Central Coast. My husband had the hickory burger and I had the Maui burger with a side of sweet potato fries. The burgers were fresh and delicious, and everyone who works here is super friendly. read more

Not really that impressed with Hook Bistro. Maybe my hopes were set too high by other reviewers on Yelp. Parking was very convenient, and there was a spot right out in front which is always a plus for us, because my husband's precious muscle car must be in his view at all times (rolling eyes). We walked in, and got stopped by a greeter who started reading off the menu that was RIGHT IN PLAIN SIGHT. I can read the menu just fine (or maybe we looked too old and feeble). Finally, we ordered after learning all about every item on the menu from our upbeat sprite of a greeter and both got burgers. I got the sweet potato fries, he got regular. There were plenty of booths available, so we grabbed one with a view of his beloved V-8 chariot. They were comfy! Good amount of room, too. My husband loves him some Hamburger Habit, so you can imagine his excitement of the perfect trifecta: Habit burger + TVs + comfy booths (I guess it's a quad-fecta if that's a word...because he could see his 550 horses out the window too). The excitement was short lived. Our server brought our food in a wire basket with wax paper lining. His order was wrong. Sauce on his burger when he asked for plain. The fries were weirdly chewy like they'd been reheated. The bun was fantastic though. The server took his burger back however the laughing by the cooks as they handed her a newly prepared sandwich uncomfortably led me to believe that hubby was getting a little something extra on his bun this time. He ate it anyway. :( Our server wasn't very friendly, she'd ask us how our food was and if we asked for a condiment it was like we were inconveniencing her. The ranch was watery, and it got on my shirt. Ketchup and grease from the burger leaked through the flimsy paper in the basket and got all over our table. I appreciate that Hook wants to bridge the gap between fast food and a bar&grill but presentation is everything. Don't try too hard, Hook. Just go back to the basics. Give me a plate! Give me a server with more training! You're a Bistro, Hook... make me feel comfortable as a patron. read more

First off, I only review burgers. Whenever venturing outside of the OC/LA area, I always yelp to see if there are any burger places worthy of a visit. Hook Burger Bistro showed promise because of the website and number of positive yelp reviews so we added it to our list of destinations. Great decision. WHAT I ORDERED: Main --- Prime Burger: 4/5 Very good burger. The caramelized onions gave it an overall sweetness Hickory Burger: 4/5 Also a very solid burger. Reminded me of Stacked Sides --- Sweet Potato Fries: 4/5 Standard goodness Regular Fries: 3/5 No complaints STAFF: Very friendly. We were given menus at the door while we waited in line. WAIT TIME: Quick and we came at noon on a Friday. Place was crowded, but we got a seat in the patio. PORTION: Decent sized burgers. Patties could be a tad thicker, but overall, no complaint BANG FOR YOUR BUCK Very cheap for the quality of burger you get. The only thing keeping this from getting the full 5 stars is there was an extra charge for cheese. Come on now... WOULD I RETURN If I was in the area...definitely! read more

In terms of aesthetics, service, quality and burger joints in Oxnard...Its as good as it gets. Its like a 4.5 rounded up. I'm super happy with this place. The service is genuinely nice and friendly!!!! The place is just really well done in terms of design and materials, even the restrooms are pretty! The burger combos are well done and the size of the burgers are perfect. We went with the hickory burger regular cheeseburger and fries and sweet potato fries. I truly think the sweet potato fries had sugar on them...some would love that, just too sweet for me. I'd go in just to have a beer. The white bar top, tile and exposed wood beams is cool and hip...makes you want to chill and have a beer. They have a bunch of wine racks as though you're in a wine bar but wine is not what its about. You would not know you're in a Ventura County strip mall and definitely not an Oxnard one!!! read more

Always great! The veggie burger was bomb, added pickles of course with no cheese. The fries were hot and crispy and amazing, my mom said the onion rings were the best she had ever had and this lady has had a lot hahaha! 4 adults and 2 kids all with meals and drinks and a side of coleslaw (which was delish too) and the onion rings total bill $65ishi have to say for as much food as we put down that was pretty good. I will be back and if you haven't been you should give it a shot. Staff was helpful and very attentive. They found the ingredient list of the veggie patty just so I could make sure there was no egg! What a nice effort on their part. read more

I was impressed with this spot. It did me right on this visit. Burger was nice and I loved the buns. Fries were cooked perfect and seasoned perfectly. The price, 5$ for a burger, was awesome in my opinion. They also had local Central California wine country wines too. Bottom line- It cost the the same price as a fast food spot and its 100% better. You will not be disappointed. read more

I was invited to eat here with some friends. It's like a habit, but a notch fancier and with beer. It cost a little bit more but I think it's supposed to be gourmet. Burgers are good. The buns are a little over toasted for my taste, but I think that's just me. My only suggestion is that if they aren't going to have drink refill stations out, they should have customer service people available to help. It's awkward cutting in line to ask for refill on water and soda. read more

After months of reading and hearing about how good Hook Burger was, I decided to try it out. I was actually very excited and had very high expectations for this place! I must say that it met my expectations. I ordered the BBQ chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. DELICIOUS!! Let's start with the sandwich. It came on a French roll and was a generous size. The chicken was cooked right, juicy and the BBQ was good (I wonder if they make their own sauce?). I finished the whole thing because it was THAT delicious! This was my first time trying sweet potato fries and I am glad I had them here because they were great. I am a fan of them now and will probably not go back to regular fries. Overall, I had a very satisfying meal for $8. The place itself is very chill. It makes you want to stay there and keep on hanging out with friends. I rather come watch a game here over BJ's any day. They have a good selection of beer, which I will try next time I go. The service was great as well; it did not just feel like any other burger place you visit where they take your order and forget you are there. The employees here came once or twice to our table to make sure everything was ok. Props to them! One thing I would like to see in the menu is a turkey burger. Their burgers looked really good but I do not eat red meat so I doubt I will be able to try them :(. Offering turkey burgers as an option would definitely increase my visits to this place. For now, I will stick with the sandwiches. Glad this place is in Oxnard! read more

Hook makes a really good hamburger and I get you pay for quality, but I don't require much from a hamburger. Avocado compliments a burger really well, but I can do without it sometimes. I get the same satisfaction after eating In & Out or the Habit and feel better that I spent half the amount for the same meal at either of those two. If you need more reasons to go, the service I received was excellent and beer is available on tap. I find an IPA pairs well with a burger. They offer a lot more than just burgers as well. The steak sandwich with cheese and grilled onions was a choice that surprised me. The servers are always on their feet checking on table to table asking if they need condiments/refills etc. I suppose it's a place you should try once. The food might "hook" you in and become a favorite spot of yours, but there are a couple of other options I can easily think of that are equally good and inexpensive. read more

Seeing the high praise this place had received in the yelp community in such a short period of time, I was excited to try this place. Quality food this place serves. I had a bistro burger? hook burger? not sure the exact name but it seems as if its the default burger. It was one of the best burgers I've had in a while. It for sure exceeds anything I've tried in Oxnard. The flavors blended very well together, the meat and the bread, you could taste the quality. Onion rings and sweet potatoes fries were also good, but the burger took the spotlight! And for the gourmet burgers they serve, its very affordable! This place is different from a regular fast food burger joint. I don't just want to eat and go, its definitely more of a social place. Having beer on tap always adds to that! The place is plain inviting and the staff is super friendly. They successfully gave me the impression that they actually wanted me there. Definitely a place you could come for the food and the atmosphere. Too bad it is located in an intersection I always want to avoid read more

Two new places in Oxnard have been on my radar for a few months now. Fishermen's Catch or Hook Burger Bistro? Which one should we go to today? Drove to Fishermen's Catch only to find a sign in the window "Gone Fishing". Go figure. No 1.5 pound lobster for $20.00 for me today! Catch you next time Fisherman's Catch. Off to the Hook! I knew it was on the corner of Rose and Gonzales, but there's so much new stuff going on there it took a little while to find it. Rolled in about 1:30 p.m. on New Years Eve day. It was packed to the rafters with burger eating humanity! Snagged a little two top table and browsed the menu. A nice booth opened up, bonus! Jamie V- 24 oz. Can o' PBR. : ) Bistro Burger- 5 oz. prime chuck, Roasted red pepper and onion, melted jack cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, honey dijon mayo. Ordered it medium rare. Arrived more like rare. I'm part vampire so no big deal. Literally, a bloody good burger! Shiny (oily) bun too. Good. Woman- Iced tea. Ahi Tuna Burger- Seared Ahi, lettuce, tomato, wasabi tartar, red onion, toasted bun. Very good too. Wasabi tartar gave it that hint of Asian flavor. Solid fish burger! Onion rings, ranch dressing- Similar to the Habit, but some how better. Maybe a little thicker cut. Maybe the PBR had something to do with it. Delicious! Sweet potato fries- Freaking crispy, salted, hot and fattening. Carbs deluxe. Dam you Hook Burger Bistro! Note to self- Commence operation code name "Atkins". Scheduled for Monday, 1/3/2011. read more

Hook Burger was the perfect, late lunch stop on our drive up the Pacific Coast Highway. It was affordable, fast, and delicious! Between the table, we tried the Turkey Burger, Veggie Burger, and Hickory Burger. Everyone really enjoyed their burger choices, as they were good sizes, with fresh toppings and great flavors. We each ordered sides of french fries - which could have easily been split - the portions were huge! They were also piping hot and fresh when they arrived to our table. For dessert, I had to try the Strawberry Cheesecake Shake. It wasn't the best shake I've ever had, but was still really good. Hook Burger is also centrally located, with plenty of shopping if you need to pick anything up, or just want to browse. Highly recommended by me! read more

Oh man, is this place good! I got the veggie burger and sweet potato fries. The veggie burger had an interesting blend of flavors- delicious. The sweet potato fries were great. It's my new favorite place to stop for a great burger. Love the decor as well. read more

OK I'm not going to exaggerate and say that this place was maximums prime ultra good. However when I think about it, this is the best burger joint in all of Oxnard. This restaurant is small in size (good thing) and a small menu! They have a menu for: burgers, sandwiches, salads and shakes! Judging by the burger, the taste is enormous! Love the taste, loved the presentation, loved the onion rings and sweet potatoes! I forgot the name of the burger I got, but it had, beef, cheese, avocado, grilled peppers, and pickles, i might be forgetting a couple of other ingredients. Perfect Californian burger, size was good, produce was fresh, bread and beef felt fresh, all what makes Californian cuisine different from the rest of the nation! Good job Hook! To drink I had a beer, a good old Paso Robles Firestone!! Go me and supporting local chains that support local products! And like others have pointed out, it is cheap! All this food I ordered was less than $15 including tip! The restaurant itself is had a really good decoration, it is not over done, they have white brick walls and wine bottled for some deco! The decoration is definitely modern, but not too modern where it feels really cold (Aka Starbucks). If this place was in downtown, I could definitely see myself coming here to watch the Laker game, the atmosphere was right! When I parked my car, I wad a little scared that the place was going to be too pretentious, but it wasn't. There wad sure a mix of people in the restaurant, young and old, so good mix! The staff was also great, since the place is new, it seems like they have not gotten annoyed with their jobs, they had natural smiles, no complaints there! They were also very helpful with the condiments that we needed and what not! They deserved a tip! I'll definitely come back again if I dare cross that busy intersection! read more

As a first timer, I found the ordering process standing at the noisy bar with TVs blaring, really stressful and hurried. The order taker, who was not the least bit cordial or helpful, hurried me through the process, shouting over the loud TVs. She couldn't have cared less that the menu was confusing to me and if I don't like all the specialty items in and on the burgers, how do I get one I like? Can I build my own? There so not list of items available.There are about six burgers, all with several things I don't like on each one. So without help, I ordered the Prime Burger with cheese, no onions and plain mayo, rather than honey dejon mayo that it comes with. It arrived with onions and the dejon mustard. The personable wait staffer took it back, promptly letting me know they took the onions off and gave me a new bun. Really? So the re arrived meat was cold, dry and this time no mayo at all. I didn't love the burger at all. Hubby's Hickory Burger fared better and he had no complaints. The experience would never warrant a repeat visit. The order process is really unpleasant. If your job is to take orders, for goodness sake, take some time to help a new client through the difficult menu. My recommendation: The front line is your first impression-get someone who cares and finds value in the customer and their experience. I do however commend the door greeter for her pleasant welcoming. read more

Hook Burger - Hickory Berger - Burgers Near Me - Oxnard, California

This place is Off the HOOK! My brother and I came here on a Friday night, just looking to see what this cool little join in the middle of the semi-ghetto (yes you oxnard, you kind of are, but I still love you) was all about. This location is in the strip mall across from walmart, the same one that has fresh and easy, Buffalo wild wings and yogurtland so there is plenty of parking. Its a cool divey setting thats a cross between a hip restaurant and a coffee lounge with a lot of tv's. There is plenty of seating too. The line is usually long but it moves along very quickly. My brother ordered the Prime burger ( 5 oz prime chick, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato and honey dijon mayo) with sweet potato fries, while I ordered the Bistro Burger( roasted red pepper, onion, melted jack, avo and lettuce tomato, honey dijon mayo) with onion rings. Both came out at a decent time and we found seating on the little counter tables they had scattered near the registers. At first bite it was YUM! We loved it! Hook does not play, our burgers tasted divine! 100% fresh USDA prime chick on a super tender, sweet bakery bun! The sweet potato fries were not too big they were normal fry cut not steak fries which I can dig. The onion rings weren't overly seasoned or salty, they were just right and I could eat a couple orders of those alone! For the price, you just cannot beat this place. Its less than $6 for a burger that is fresh, delicious and sooo mouth watering. read more

I've been meaning to check this place out for a long time, better late than never I suppose. I had the "Prime Burger" ($5.25) and added blue cheese (.75) and bacon ($1). I was debating getting french fries but they only have one size and the lady at the register said that its a pretty large amount. I decided to skip the fries and get a water to drink. The burger was great. Juicy patty, ripe tomatoes, cooked onions, honey dijon mayo dressing, and a nice bun. It was enough to stand alone as a meal, and was a good value for the price. My only gripe is that they use shredded lettuce instead of leaf lettuce. It's kind of a downer to pickup your burger and have half the lettuce fall out onto the plate. It's not a deal breaker, but I think swapping the lettuce would add another star. read more

I ran over here for a quick bite during my internship training across the street at St. Johns. My gosh was it packed for a small joint, the line was almost out the door and there were no empty seats. I had Urbane Cafe last week and wanted something different, I've heard great things about this place too. They have a few small flat screens and a beer/wine bar...nice for after work if you are close. I wasn't that hungry so I ordered a root beer float and some fries. It took about 5-10 mins but it was ok considering the amount of people in there. The root beer float was delicious! The real vanilla bean ice cream really made the float. The craft root beer was also great...Definitely how all root beer floats should be..they've raised my standards on the floats. The fries were good but not as amazing as the float. They had a crunch to them since they were shoe strings but there wasnt as much seasoning as I had hoped. I tried to use ranch and chipotle aioli as dipping sauces but the creamy goodness couldn't overcome the blandness of the fries. I'll be updating my review after I try the tuna and veggie burgers. Seems that everyone loves the burgers here so I gotta try at least a couple to make an accurate judgement. Had to dock a star since a full meal would be pretty expensive and from what I observed, the sandwiches themselves were not that big. Cheers! read more

We had the chicken sandwich and the maui burger, diet cola and Chocolate shake. The order process was fast. The food arrived fast. It was really good. The staff is smiling and friendly. They were busy too. Only draw back was really loud music. read more

I'll be completely honest, I was not too impressed. Purchased the hickory burger and some onion rings. Both were just pretty average. I also ordered the California burger and was not completely impressed either. It was decently priced for sure, but I'm just an In N Out guy read more

I hate to do this after I've been telling people about this place, but however today I brought my friend here cause of the yummy sweet potatoe fries. My mother met up with us to order food and bring some to my dad and sister. Well whenever I come in I order the same thing, the bistroclub. My friends ordered a prime burger and a bistroburger, my mom ordered the bistroburger as well. This is where it goes down hill for me. I was eating my sanwhich and it was good until I started having a funny feeling about the avocado. I'm not a fan of it but I'll eat it if it's in my sanwhich, but I started to feel bloated. I finished half of it and I felt super bloated. I thought I was just full, I struggled to eat the second half. (note that I haven't eatin all day, so nothing prior to this I could blame these symptoms on). We left and I went to the atnt store which was like not even far from the place, but I felt like throwing up. Not even the full kind of throwing up, but I feel like I ate something bad, and I need to get it out of me throwing up. I came home and what was the first thing I did? Went to the bathroom, as soon as it came in..... It all came out! Haha gross right.?? Yes gross I had a feeling it was the avocado and was i right! To save you the details, just use your imagination of what happen or how I know! My mom started feeling sick, feeling the same symptoms as with my dad and my sister. We all had avocado that's the only connection we could make. So just becareful what you eat from them, if something doesn't taste right take it back! I'm not trying to scare people away, just letting you know so you have a heads up. Consumer beware! Everything else, from my previous post still stands from the decor ,customer service and all that jazz, just wanted to end on a good note read more

Food is good. Service is hit and miss. Today, I ordered my food. Got there within the 20 minutes. Asked if it was ready and was told not yet. Waited another 10 minutes. Went up again and was told it had been ready. The food had been sitting there for 25 minutes. Update: on the same day I Yelped, received a message from the owner apologizing for my experience & wanting to correct it. Thank you for caring about your customers. Will definitely try Hook again. read more

This is a very busy, very good, burger joint. THEY SERVE BEER (on tap) AND WINE! The steak sandwich is excellent! I don't, however, like their shakes. They are too milky and too sweet. read more

My husband wanted to try hook burger I didn't want to sandwich so I got there a kale salad it was larger then normal salads you get it restaurants and very tasty you also have the option to add meat they're not just good at making a healthy burger they have additional options to feed the family they also have tap beers and wine they're located on the coast of California and if you happen to drive past 1 you should try hook burger it's better than other fast food services read more

Wow, somehow I had forgotten to finish this review. This was a really fabulous experience and a great find, for us. If you love burgers, you will find a great selection here. And the beer? Just as good. Perhaps not a selection like some of the bigger places around but still good stuff to compliment your dining experience. We had the Hickory burger and roasted chili burger. Both of which were served to our specifications. So delish! Service was excellent. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and added to the overall experience we had here. Can't wait to return! read more

Sooo I almost gave this place 5 stars but they changed the menu a little while ago and took my bistro burger off, which was my go to. If they hadn't of done that I never would have found out about there sandwiches and salads. There grilled chicken sandwich melted in my mouth and I couldn't stop eating it. I think its the perfectly toasted sourdough buttered bread that just adds that crunch to every bite. If that didn't make your mouth water than maybe you should check your pulse. The salads were also really impressive. Imagine a 5 star quality plated salad, that's exactly what I got when I ordered the BBQ Chicken Ranch salad. Layered and topped to perfection and garnished with crispy little strings of tortilla chips. Eat bite was loaded with flavor. I want to say it doesn't come with avocado? If not I definitely added it! If your into Paleo, they have a bunless option for all their burgers. Let's just say it's so good I still haven't had a burger with a bun from here. Add an extra patty to keep you fuller longer for only $1.50; take that Burger King. read more

First thing first...This is NOT your typical sit down restaurant. Think of it more like a hybrid fast food/sports bar. You order at the counter like any normal burger joint, then take your buzzer to your table and wait for your food. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere, food, and customer service. The atmosphere is awesome, its like a mini sports bar with lots of comfortable seating, I have always liked the big comfy booths. The burgers and salads are always super fresh and not only taste great, but are presented like a high end restaurant. Imagine seeing those tasty burgers on the menu ads or in commercials and then when you actually get it its all smashed and looks like someone just threw it together. Well that's not what you get here, they take pride in presentation. The only slight negative is that the fries are a little too "skimpy", only way I can describe them. But not that big of a deal. Lastly, the customer service. They always say high when you walk in and offer you a menu and ask if its your first time. When I checked them out for the first time they explained the ordering process for me and made suggestions. I got the Hickory burger based off of that suggestion and its my favorite burger now! This place is definitely near the top of my all time list. read more

I went here with my sister for a late lunch knowing it would be busy during normal lunch hours. The decor is really nice, if i remember correctly nearly the entire inside is filled with booths. I really like the layout, there are no stupid pictures on the walls or annoying art. There is a big american flag in a case with a little plaque that looks good. This place is surprising classy for a burger place and the area its in. It is well done and classy. Ok now the food. The menu is small with not a lot of options, which IMO is a good thing. Not a lot of variety but what they do make is great, they also serve beer but I don't like beer so I could care less, but for those who like a burger and beer it does serve a purpose. I ordered a hickory burger with a side of sweet potato fries and fresh brewed ice tea: It was really good, the meat is really good and juice, the bread and bacon was amazing, the topping's were fresh and the BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy. The only down side is that the fries were from a frozen bag and I could actually tell the difference since I have had fresh cut ones at other locations. the icea tea was fresh and good. My sister had the bistro burger which was good but reminded me a lot of the habit char burger. The only down side if I had to complain was the price. For a burger, sweet potato fries and drink I paid nearly $12, for a semi-fast food lunch. I think it should of been priced in the mid to high $10 range and not closer to $12. yes they bring you your food but you still order at a counter so it doesn't justify a restaurant price. read more
