Best burgers! Grab lunch early. It gets packed. Fun way to top off a day at the beach read more

Delicious burgers! Fresh lettuce, soft buns, and juicy charred burgers make for a simply delicious meal. The fries were perfectly crispy. We ate them while we walked to our campsite. So good! We went on Saturday at 4:15pm. There was a short wait to get our order, about 15 minutes. Although the store is open till 5, the kitchen stopped taking orders at 4:30pm. read more

This was our first time here & the burger wasn't anything special or amazing. I've had much better elsewhere. Having said that, I'm still rating this spot a 3 star bc it was still a legit burger. We waited about 20 min to get our food. The fries were delicious. It was crispy & had just the right amount of salt. Would I come back? Probably not unless I decide to visit the beach again & if I'm hungry then yes but I'll try their other stuff on the menu. Ambiance was cool overlooking the ocean. read more

We had already had a sandwich so we just split some snack food, I have the spicy cauliflower and the wife had a corn dog. All was good, Service is friendly. The view is spectacular from their dining room. That would be five stars for sure. The cauliflower was a bit tame and the corn dog was fine, but nothing special. Prices seemed quite reasonable considering the remote location. It's a great place to eat when at the beach! Well, it's the only place to eat. read more

I came here to write a five star view about these crazy delicious burgers.... And got caught up reading other reviews and now realized I have to go back ASAP for clam chowder, fried clams, chili on my burger, and every other item on the menu! Lol If you live close by this is like a mini vacation from home. If you don't, this is worth the drive! The beaches not anywhere near as crowded as I expected. FU surfers, a fisherman or two politely waiting till the end of the day and most of the swimmers are out of the water, lots of dogs, two lifeguards on duty until six and just a great chill vibe. There's an amazing campgrounds and looks like little cabins that are bookable, but usually booked out a year in advance I heard. And the icing on the cake is these beautiful burgers. I'm not joking... we went two days in a row. Any place that puts still crisp, fresh shredded lettuce on their burgers is tops in my book. read more

Wow that burger lives up to its reputation. The grilled onions and cheese are absolute must adds, and I personally also like the jalapeños (and avocado when I'm feeling crazy). Their fries are also really good; they have a good crisp and the seasoning is tasty. I also tried the chili in a bread bowl one night and was very pleased. It tasted great and was a perfect size. And to top it all off, there's a great view of the beach while you eat! They really have a solid selection of food, and they're also a great general store. We bought some bait, and they looked super stocked with general camping supplies. Every staff member I've talked to has been great; they are happy and eager to help. read more

Worth it, MAYBE, if you're camping here. My fiancée and I made the journey during our Solvang vacation and were shocked but how long it took to get two burgers. I kid you not, 1 & 1/2 hours, for two burgers and chili fries. Luckily there is a small store inside as well that sells beer because there no way you can expect a sane person to wait that long for a burger. I assume the staff are cooking on a George Foreman grill. The burgers were not fresh pressed, it gave the impression that it was frozen at one point. The burger didn't not stand out whatsoever ever and neither did the chili fries. Best part of the experience was finding a seat inside with a view. Would not recommend to anyone that's not camping here, not worth the hour round trip as well. I think you would get the same service and quality from a little league snack shack. -ps, the security gate will also try to charge you for being inside for more than an hour, which the "burger pass" admits, just argue with them about how long the food took. read more

I can't believe I just spent nearly 2 hours waiting for the most mediocre, dry, flavorless burger I've ever had. My husband and I were visiting the area this weekend and heard nothing but good things about this place. We are utterly disappointed and honestly upset we even invested the time (and money) into this place. Firstly, we spent $10 on parking and then another $40 on two burgers and one side of fries. That wasn't even including drinks, which were an additional $10. We were told our burgers would take 30-45 mins, which was a little hard to hear, but we figured they would be well worth the wait given how busy the shack was. Well that wait turned into an agonizing 1 hr and 45 mins. Absolutely ridiculous! Now for the food. The burger was so incredibly mediocre that I started laughing when I took my first bite. Hard and dry patty that tastes like it's been frozen for weeks, thick tomato and onion slices, a gross amount of shredded lettuce, and a secret sauce that tasted anything but secret...probably store bought. We also got ranch on the side, which was eerily close to the flavor of Hidden Valley dressing. I always believe in saying one nice thing, so I will concede that the fries were well seasoned. Other than that, save yourself a lot of time and money and just get a burger somewhere else. A very expensive and time consuming mistake! read more

I love that they keep their grilled burgers on a great toasted sesame seed bun and not a brioche like everyone else seems to be switching over to. Love this fresh ingredients and simplicity of it all nothing fancy, but a store packed with all the supplies you need and then some., thanks again, guys for keeping it consistent for decades. One of my favorite burgers of all time. read more

We ordered two burgers, onion rings, and chili cheese fries. While I don't think the burgers were the best in the area, the onion rings definitely were the best I've ever had. The owner was nice to accommodate us for indoor seating with my 3 kids and a large stroller. It was nice and quiet with a great view. read more

We also tried the fried pickles and fries, and everything was just spot on. Whether you're stopping by for a meal or just a snack, this place is a must if you're anywhere near Jalama Beach. We'll definitely be back! read more

If you're ever and jalama Beach make sure you stop at the beach store. It has everything you can think of, from canned goods to snacks to beer to boating, supplies, clothing, etc., etc. Make sure you try their burgers, fried pickles and fries. The fries are very crunchy. They're delicious! There's indoor and outdoor seating. The little store is very tiny inside, so make sure you go and get what you need and get out ASAP, a little claustrophobic. Lots of foot traffic. read more

What can I say. Jalama beach store is an immaculate experience for anyone involved. I grew up going to Jalama, but nostalgia points aside this place still makes some great burgers. I had the salmon burger which had a huge slab of well-cooked salmon on a delicious bun with tomato lots of lettuce. Fire. Friends had the classic jalama burger and the garden burger. For sides we shared the fries, fried pickles, and fried zucchini. The fried pickles with the house sauce were especially delectable (their batter is seasoned so nicely). Great reviews from all parties. Plus you have a killer view of the beach! Bonus points for being able to buy your own coke and not be over charged. Boy do I love Jalama. Must-go if you're in town! read more

Have been going here for years. Burgers are one of a kind delicious. Sometimes you have a bit of a wait but that's part of the experience. Yes it's not the normal beach burger it's more just plain yummy. Give it a try you can't go wrong read more

Little beach shop in the middle of a county beach park. Worth seeking out and worth the drive. Go for the burger, stay for the beach. We both had the Jalama burger with a side of fries, onion rings and mozzarella sticks. Ge the Jalama sauce for the fires! So worth the drive, so glad a local in Pismo Beach told us how to find the pace. It seems to be a well known haunt for the locals. Totally recommend getting of the beaten path and getting a burger. read more

A burger spot in a very isolated and beautiful beach camp site that adds to the magic. No frills spot. Just order at the counter and wait to take a bite of this beauty. A solid burger that is crave-able and a must have when nearby. My friend's family invited me out to Jalama beach camp and said this burger is always the first thing they eat before setting up camp. I was lucky enough to snag one 10 mins before the shop closed. It's a solid size and well constructed. Everything was fresh. I can see why it's a must try when here. definitely one of the best burgers in the central coast imo. read more

Love these burgers they or wonderful the fries or fresh the burgers or fresh I love Jalama Burgers

All the Jalama burgers are delicious , beef turkey, salmon & Ahi, French fries are some of the best I've ever had. The attached eating area has large windows so you can watch the waves roll. The store is well stocked with items you might need for camping. The service for the food and store is friendly and efficient. The campground is clean and there are two newly constructed restrooms with a separate building for showers as well as an area for washing up your dishes if you're tent camping. There are plenty of sites that have electric hookups as well as sites for dry camping they also have cottages available too. This have become one of our favorite places to visit along the California coast. read more

Favorite breakfast is the Chile verde breakfast burrito. Favorite lunch order is to split a burger with my husband and get a bowl of clam chowder. Fabulous food and incredible service - especially with such a tiny kitchen. The service is always with a smile! You the view can't be beat! read more

Bottom line: a good place to get a sandwich I used to come here many years ago with my friends during surf trips. Back then it's definitely not as good as it is today. After an extended. I've not being able to get away for any quiet time, I was able to escape on one of my motorcycles for a short ride. I ordered a BLT and sat alongside the building, enjoying my food and observing nature. I have to say it was pretty damn good and I will definitely be back soon. The place is very simple, no-frills, but they definitely get the job done read more

Service was great. Food tastes amazing. Great vibes. The burger tasted amazing. I go here to camp and eat once a year.

We wish everywhere we camped had a Jalama Beach Store. I was so surprised by all of the items available- it's almost like every time someone comes in looking for something, they order it for their stock. It seemed like they had every based covered. We purchased lunch one day, ice, propane, hersheys after our s'mores chocolate was left out and melted, hot chocolate packets to make for the kids to drink while watching the sunset, a beanie, firewood, and more. They had kids toys, so many food items, clothes. So many options for some a tiny, cute little shop. The customer service was nice and of course, the food was delicious! We were thankful for the store! read more

Amazing burger, I had heard about it but it was even better than I expected! A must go to!

More character than you can believe! Delicious food too! On the beach with unobstructed views of the breakers.

Great food and service. The burger was great, jalapeño poppers amazing, great selection of beer and wine too! Loved it!

Good old school grill food prepared well with a great view from the seating area. The drive there is quite scenic as well.

Cozy campground store that makes burgers. We had heard these burgers were good, so we had to try them. We agree, they are good! They crisp the bun on the griddle so there is a nice crunch when you bite into it. We added bacon and cheese and got a side order of onion rings to share. The bacon was a nice thick cut and crispy, not soggy. They have other options you can add for an additional cost. The onion rings where too fried that it disintegrated the onion on the inside. They have packs of ranch and ketchup. The one thing we noticed is that all the fixin's were under the patty. Does anyone else do that?! Overall a GOOD burger and good service at the counter. We will be back! read more

Such amazing burgers, fries were cooked to perfection. Onion rings did a perfect snap. Jalapeño poppers were packed with cream cheese and flavor. The Jalama sauce on the burgers taste exactly like you would expect to have on a beach California burger. The clam chowder was full of flavor and clams! The chili on the burger was so I wanted a bowl of it! The views and service was top notch. Definitely making the trip to have another burger in the near future. No wonder it was named world famous burgers!! read more

This beach store burger place is awesome. Nothing like taking the break from cooking on your camping vacation to grab a burger or a breakfast burrito. The guy that owns this place has not changed this burger and it's the same great one I remember from my childhood. The onion rings and frys were good too. You can pick dessert or sodas from the small store area. Not sure when they started making breakfast burritos but they were super good. Bacon, egg, hash browns and a decent salsa. The views from the dinning area are killer. read more

We had heard and read reviews about the Jalama Beach stores' famous Jalama Beach burger. We were impressed! So many beach food facilities put together barely acceptable overpriced underwhelming food. This hamburger was exceptionally good with several options and we were very impressed with the quality of the hamburger bun which held up through the entire hamburger unlike so many other buns that fall apart after two bites! The price was very reasonable! We were so impressed that we returned the following morning for their breakfast burrito, which was also of great quality, size, and very reasonably priced! The owners took great pride in their customer service and the quality of the product that they were providing. They had a dining facility where you could eat inside with a beautiful view of the ocean or you could eat outside and enjoy the view and the excellent weather! When you're at the beach, there is no denying the beautiful view! Would recommend that you take advantage of the food selection and quality that this facility offers! read more

After years of hearing about this historic, secluded location, cherished by surfers and campers, we paid the $10 day use fee and enjoyed Jalama beach with a famous Jalama burger. The store is tiny but packed with items that campers appreciate. The menu is outside on the wall behind glass but most people know what they want. Even the international peeps that we're there too. The Jalama burger is DELiSH! Shredded lettuce, house-made 1000 island dressing, buttered/toasted bun. Fries were ok. Onion rings were really good. Definitely worth the drive to soak in the sun and to eat a tasty burger at such a historic spot. Legend has it the Ray Kroc visited this establishment. Multiple times. He loved it. I know why now. read more
