2 of my girlfriends and I were here last Monday for lunch. The wait staff are always friendly and attentive to our needs and we always get a smile...they seem to genuinely love their job which makes for a very pleasant atmosphere We ordered the veggie burgers and as usual they were perfection! The grilled black bean patties were so flavorful and all the fresh veggies were a perfect touch with the chipotle mayo ...my all time favorite burger I must say.! We also ordered onion rings which were cooked to a delightful golden crispness. 5 stars all around! The only drawback I can speak of is sometimes the music is a tad too loud but not so much it would stop us from returning THANKS HOOK for a wonderful meal. read more

Still five stars!!! Went in to grab some quick dinner before heading home and the cashiers in the front were so quick and friendly. I had a question on something I wanted to order and they were very helpful and gave me suggestions. When went to leave, they even held the door open for me. Their friendless is always very genuine and never feels forced... and of course, the food was amazing! read more

I really enjoy this restaurant. The burgers are awesome and the onion rings are the best!! To try something new, I opt for the sweet potato fries. I have yet to try all their milk shakes but the cookies and cream shakes are da bomb!!! Only downside, the place is kinda small and when it gets crowded, finding a seat can be hard. Try this place if you haven't, you won't be sorry! read more

I got food poisoning here, had me running for the bathroom all night. I had an ahi tuna salad. There were scales in it, and the middle tasted frozen even though it was seared. The dressing was sub-par and the salad had too much/not enough going on all at once. Fries were nothing spectacular. Bacon burger was ok. Nearly 4 dollars to make your entree a meal with a dinky soda and cup of fries-- not really all that cool. I didn't like how there was a tipless waitstaff. Meaning, people bring you food and check on you throughout your meal, but you don't tip them. That seemed kind of nice to me. It was like they were trying to make this place into one of those suburban niches and failed. Really sweet wait staff. Music and kitchen were so loud the girl behind the counter was yelling at customers to make sure they heard her. Owner came around and checked on diners, which was nice. read more

Best meat I've ever had in my mouth! Exceptional service, decor, and straightforward food; although pricey, definitely worth it. Suck it Five Guys Burger!! read more

OMG! What a great burger!! Fry/onion ring trio was delicious!! Best of all was the OUTSTANDING service!! The ladies working here provide over-the-top, stellar service with a great attitude and a smile to top it off. Made my night!! read more

I ordered a Medium Rare seared ahi tuna to go. I know how busy this place gets during lunch, during the week but if you can't produce a Medium Rare Seared Ahi during the rush, take it off of your lunch menu!!! read more

I had a burger and it was good. The sweet potato fries are yummy! I still like in n out burgers better. The customer service was great! read more

My favorites are the bbq chicken salad and the hickory bbq burger but lettuce wrapped! They're always quick and the food is always great. The salads are fresh and the onion rings are so crispy. This is my favorite go-to for lunch when I don't pack my own for work. read more

Holy cow this place is AWESOME!!! I was told to pick up some food from Hook Burger on my way to my sister's place and I had no idea what the menu was. I called and the guy who answered explained what they had so patiently and got everything ready for me to pick up within 15 mins. It was awesome. AND the prices are sooooo amazing. I was so pleasantly surprised about the bill. The Bistro Salad with chicken=muah! AMAZING. Sweet potato fries=YUMMMM BBQ Chicken Sandwich=nom nom nom Thank you Hook Burger. Amazing food, excellent services, really fantastic prices. Can't be beat. So happy this place is in Oxnard so I can go to it from time to time. And next time, I'll staying to eat there to enjoy a fabulous beer on tap or maybe a glass of wine :) read more

What an absolutely exquisite dining experience. Food was just wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. These people know a thing or two about customer service too. The place is clean and efficiently run. Everyone was smiling and checking up on us. They even held the door for us when we left. They pull out alllllll the stops. Two thumbs up. Can't wait to go back read more

The staff has been so friendly every time I have gone. There salads to go are big and the prices are reasonable.

Bbq chicken salad. So delicious! It tasted so fresh and service was excellent. Will definitely come back!

My girlfriend and I went to Hook for lunch today and we really dug it, we'll definitely be going back soon. Finally a place to get a good burger in Oxnard (that's not from a fast food place). PROS - Great food - Nice decor - Friendly staff - Reasonably priced - Fast service - Comfortable booths - Sweet-potato fries! CONS - No root beer on tap, bottled only - A little stuffy, but outdoor seating is available read more

People's taste in burgers are individual, for sure. However, this place should be tried by any burger aficionado. Clean, modern, burgers to perfection, flat screen tv's, and excellent onion rings. Don't miss this place. It's the best burger I've had in the area. read more

Okay, I know I use the word "love" a lot, but when I do, I MEAN IT! Hook Burger is fantastic. Outstanding burgers, ALWAYS smiling/attentive service, and a clean, spacious facility. I always order the Maui Burger in a lettuce wrap (a little more paleo and it lets you savor the teriyaki sauce better), with a side of sweet potato fries. I usually order a water but they also have beer and milkshake selections. Check it out! read more

We're HOOKED! Prime burger v good, succulent beef patty, yummy onion rings and sweet potato fries!!

I had been wanting to try this place for a while but never made time to eat here until a couple weeks ago. I happened to be hungry and in the are so I decided this was the perfect time to go. Upon entering it a decent size place with an open kitchen which is cool. I didn't feel like eating there so I placed an order for take out. I got a like a bacon cheeseburger or something like that, can't really remember what It was specifically called. The burger is a typical sized burger and it's priced fairly. I opted for just the burger and no sides and damn was the burger good! Definitely gonna go back and would recommend it to anybody who wants a good tasting burger. On top of the food the service was also above and beyond! read more

I have been coming here for 3 years. Food and staff are 5+ stars, every day. Everything fresh and made on site. You cannot beat this place for taste, value, or comfort. Thank you! read more

Great burger, location, service, and fries. I always get the sweet potato fries and the pretzel burger. I had never had a pretzel burger before Hook, but now I seek to get them wherever I go. Their milkshakes are super thick and creamy. If you have room after your burger and fries get one! read more

I have been there three times in the last six weeks. Each time, both doors were wide open creating a wind tunnel. I asked if they could close the back door since we were chilled and it was VERY unpleasant to enjoy our meal with a wind blowing through. Each time employees grumbled, gave us dirty looks and left the door jar about a foot, with the front door remaining wide open, which of course did not change anything, if not made it worse. I enjoy the food, but not that much! They have lost me as a customer. I am a guy and don't get cold easy, but I think it is more about the cooks getting hot, than the customer. read more

Although I am new to the area and this place came highly recommended so there was already a high level of expectation. Truth be told, the burgers and sweet potato fries were mediocre at best...three star, but the extra star is for the value of the meal. Burger, Sweet potato fries, beer, Laker's game for $15 bucks not too shabby. I am going to come across as a total OC snob but I prefer 5 Guys in the OC. Better quality burger overall in taste and value, but Hook is close enough to warrant my return...and isn't that's what it's all about! REPEAT Business!!! read more

Amazing food. The mushroom burger was great and their onion rings definitely some of the best. Amazing customer service. Everyone is super friendly. I just left and they definitely have the thoughtful details covered like holding the door for you as you leave, asking YOU how long you will be to pick up your food, and many more to list. Another fav detail of mine was while some places tend to be stingy with the condiments , here the lady offered me jalapenos with my burger which I hadn't thought of but was delicious with my burger. As I was eating I only wished I had ask for more, and i looked in the bag and HEY! She got me an extra! :) read more

Stopped by with a friend and the food and service was great! The bbq chicken salad and delicious and it was huge!!! Jackie thank for the recommendation on the salad! Your hustle and customer service is top notch read more

Was so not in the mood for a burger, so I was going to get a salad, but I kept looking at everyone else's burger and I knew I had to get one. Got the veggie burger and I couldn't put it down. Pretzel bread is genius. The burger was tasty. The fries (sweet potato and reg were great). Everyone was very friendly and I would def recommend coming here. read more

It's like a fusion between a pub and fast food; that's a first for me. You order at the counter and they have a few beers on tap and a decent selection of gourmet burgers and whatnot. The food is pretty good and the presentation is nice. Additionally, they have nice decor and seating to strike that fine balance between pub and fast food. read more

Hook Burger - Hickory burger, fries, and a Stone IPA - Burgers Near Me - Oxnard, California

I ordered the California Burger with fries and onion rings. The burger wasn't great but it was good. The meat was a bit dry, the avocado made up for it with its creamy texture. The onion rings and fries were crispy just a tad cold. read more

Fresh, yummy, great portions, great prices! Love itttt! The front door works your biceps but the food is amazing! And you will know what I mean about biceps when you walk in. Love this place tho!!! Kids meals are yummm ! read more

Simply said...the best burgers around, at a reasonable price. After you eat here, you'll wonder why you pay $10-15 at a restaurant for a burger that is simply inferior to Hook. Add to the burgers: Great fries, killer milk shakes, and a super-friendly staff, and you have a great dining experience, without breaking the bank. read more

I am always disappointed when I go here. Doesn't seem to be a lot of variety and the food doesn't taste fresh to me.

Great food. If ever I'm in town again I'd definitely go again. The sweet potatoe fries were amazing and the burger was also. Veggies in the burger were crisp and fresh and the bun was so good on the burger! It's in a great location too! read more

I think Oxnard will enjoy this burger joint immensely. :) Place seemed casual yet classy, serving beer on tap and wine! Burgers were big, service was friendly. Of course, nothing compares to Umami burger, but for the price, Hook is not bad. The regular burger and hickory burger both were good. Hickory burger is a bit sweet due to bbq sauce. Great lunch spot for a roadtrip! read more

VERY good burgers. Usually not a fan of gourmet burgers (c'mon, a double cheeseburger with mac sauce will do) but Hook Burger is an exception. My boyfriend took me here on my last visit to Oxnard and when I found out that it's owned by the same people who run The Habit I was excited! PROS: Great ambiance, very clean, servers are friendly. Location is good, ample parking, nice decor. Food is great quality, great presentation, and everything was nice and flavorful. Meat was juicy! BIG BONUS POINTS: Ranch is a very important condiment (seriously) and Hook Burger's ranch was delicious! Whatever brand it is, it's good quality, and they didn't charge extra for it! ANOTHER PLUS: Hook Burger also serves wine and beer (which is always great for us 21+) but since I was hungover I couldn't have any that day. Definitely will try next time though. CONS: Slightly higher prices, burgers kept falling apart, menu was kinda small. Also, quite a few teenybopper kids sitting around talking pretty loudly while spending 2 hours eating a single order of fries. Smh. NOTES: I had the Bistro burger and my boyfriend had the BBQ burger and I'd have to say, the BBQ one was significantly better. The Bistro burger was good, and of course for me the avocados in it were a plus, but if you're looking for more flavor go with the BBQ. TO SUM IT UP: Definitely recommend trying this place if you haven't already. Hook Burger's been added to my list of favorites. read more

This place has a dog friendly patio so we took our pooches here for lunch one day. Very clean, the staff is friendly, patio is shaded and comfortable. There was a decent amount of variety on the menu. I ordered a burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was put together nicely, not soggy, not hot, but edible. The ranch was runny, wish they had honey mustard like Red Robin. My favorite to dip Sweet potato fries in! Affordable, clean, friendly, and delicious. Very laid back, quick eating place, though I wouldn't spend your lunch break from work here. Pros: Dog friendly, delicious, speedy, friendly, clean. Cons: not very much variety, must go inside to order, (not easy when you have dogs with you), watery ranch. (yes, I'm picky about my ranch) read more

Burgers are to die for and I hear they make a mean inside-out burger too. It's clean, casual and quiet. The service is polite, quick and attentive. If you stop by try and make it after noon so you can hit up their sweet bar! Parking is a bit of a hassle but only because if their location. Other than that it's great for a quick bite. read more

I had the hickory burger it was yummy! My only complaint is the bun fell apart by the second bite. My grandmother liked hers and her bun didn't fall apart. Could have been a one off! The fries are good also and the ranch is on point! Boomchacalaca read more

Had a Bistro Club Sandwich (chicken, advocado, bacon, mayo, lettuce) and it was amazing. My boyfriend got the Hickory Burger (got to have a bite of it, and that was also scrumptious)! Their portions are big! You order in the front, get a table, and they deliver your order to you. The service is great! There's indoor and outdoor seating. My boyfriend and I chose to sit inside since their booths looked super comfy. Will definitely again! read more

Very friendly staff, wow. First time there. Food was fresh, fast and with a smile. Something not found lately. Fish sandwich ordered rare, great. Chicken club very good. Fries and breaded (not battered) onion rings super fresh. Other things on the menu worth trying. Will be returning. read more

Amazing food at a low price. They serve beer as well. Excellent service and friendly people. A must when in this area. read more

Hook Burger - Amazing food. - Burgers Near Me - Oxnard, California

Excellent burgers and service. I was a bit of a diva when I saw part of my order (onion rings) sitting on the prep counter, waiting for the burgers. I figured the onion rings wouldn't be hot when they were brought to me, so asked them to be re-made. Nothing but smiles and apologies, and a fresh order of piping hot rings. I could tell the ingredient quality was just a step up from Habit, or other chain burger places and my father appreciated being able to order a decent beer. read more
