Wow, wow, wow! Fun decor, fabulous customer service, and fairly large menu. Great to see the owner, so friendly. We had met him years ago at hi Sancho's Tacos location in HB, worthy! We chose the bacon BBQ cheese smash burger with sweet potato fries. D E L I C I O U S! Every bite was flavorful! Huge crispy, hot onion rings, big smashed patty, not over salty, soft fresh brioche bun, epic, not over sauced! Bbq sauce was perfect, not overpowering or sweet. Sweet potatoes were fresh and hot, a good amount served along with our burgers. Highly recommended! Magic shows on weekends sound amazingly fun. We will be back! read more

When dinner plans go awry, PIVOT! Our first night in San Clemente was meant to be celebrating another trip around the sun while sipping rum drinks on the pier, watching the sunset. But if there's one lesson I've learned in many years roaming the Earth, it's be adaptable. Beautiful, crazy, fun, exciting things can happen when you stay open to throwing out the game book and letting life lead the way. Sometimes...you find yourself at Krazy Kooters having a wonderful time and a delightful meal! Such as it was this Saturday night in San Clemente. We came in a bit late for supper, almost 9:30pm, but we got a great seat at an open window and started taking in the options. I was wanting a drink with a kick and I got one. I forget what it was called, but I believe it was vodka muddled with strawberry, mint and something spicy. I usually make notes but, HUN-NEY, it was a DAY! Next, we ordered some food. I was really happy they had a light bowl option, with seared ahi and sticky rice. It was very flavorful, delicious and fresh. Hubs went with the steak and fries. He enjoyed the steak - cooked and seasoned perfectly - but wasn't so wild about the house "punch Krazy fries". I think they may have been fried twice because they were very crisp. We also requested the "Yungstas" Lil' Mac, because the side serving version was described as having "garlic chive fondue w/buttery crumbs" and we are all about a creamy, dreamy Mac and cheese offered to kids. We appreciated that they permitted this order. I'm always surprised when the request is denied to order something from a kids menu when we are obviously ordering 2 entrees and beverages, but Kooters rocked that request and the "kreamy cheese sauce" without the butter crumbs was perfect. The crowd this night was pretty chill. The bar seemed filled with locals, which I like, and we had a nice relaxing time, enjoying our dinner and taking in the eclectic decor. After we finished, we walked around a bit to get some pics of the restaurant. The devil is in the details, so be sure to enjoy the work that went into kreating Krazy Kooters. Cheers! "CC" read more

Hands down the BEST burger in San Clemente! If you only order one thing, make it the Klassic Kooter--it's an incredible smash burger with the perfect crispy edges, juicy center, and flavor that will have you planning your next visit before you finish your meal. This place is so much more than great food. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the unique artwork covering the walls gives it so much character. Whether you're hanging out in the restaurant, grabbing drinks on the rooftop patio, or catching a live show in the entertainment lounge (we saw an awesome comedy show!), there's something for everyone. San Clemente needed a spot like this, and they absolutely nailed it. Great food, great drinks, great people, and an unforgettable experience. We'll definitely be back--and bringing friends next time! read more

First time here! The burger was very fresh, savory, juicy, cheesy, flavorful, and delicious. Also, the fries were super, crunchy, crispy, salty, tasty, and the ketchup was tangy, and the lemonade was really sweet and refreshing, too. Good service, nice atmosphere with music, and I had an excellent experience today. read more

If you're looking for Brunch, Lunch, Dinner or just Drinks, then Krazy Kooters is the spot! Don't let the silly name fool you, this spot is legit and their food is incredible! I came for lunch for the first time and their patio was beautiful. They had plenty of shady and sunny seats and even a live musician. They have all sorts of fun events weekly too. As far as the food, I split the Hawt Chick sandwich with the extra hot sauce and it was A+. The chicken was so crispy and the pickles were extra juicy. I also enjoyed the wedge salad with the creamiest dressing of my life. I'm getting a bit obsessed with this place. And, the service is always amazing! read more

This place was so much fun! We were going to brunch across the street, but it was super busy and went here instead! When we walked in, there was live music happening, and a magician from the magic castle was going around doing a lil tableside card magic! The food was surprisingly, super good, I got the Eazy Scramble (basically a veggie scramble). It was super yummy! The potatoes on the side were also really good! My friend got the Waffle-N-Chicken. It was a really fluffy Belgian waffle, and he said the chicken was very crispy with good flavor. Service was a lil slow at first, but I think our original server, he was not paying attention, and another server took matters into her own hands, and she was amazing! We had a lot of fun, and are very excited to go back! read more

This place is for everyone. Great food drinks and atmosphere. We walked in off the street because we saw they had a bunch of tvs and wanted to watch the World Cup games. The staff was super accommodating, welcoming, and overall great people. Didn't know what to expect with all the crazy decor inside and we had two babies with us, but they loved looking around at everything. The staff made sure we had what we needed for them. It was so nice. Beyond just the excellent customer service, the drinks and food were very good. I got an Aperol spritz and the margarita bowl. Both were excellent. Our table got the mojito, wings, mimosas, and ahi tuna bowl. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. They also have vegan and gluten free items marked on their menu. I'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

Taylor and the other staff at Kooters made our time so great! We had a wonderful side room to all sit together and the atmosphere was fun and upbeat! And the food is just plain good. I had the margarita bowl and it was perfection. The right amount of chicken to rice ratio! Thank you Kooters! We'll absolutely be back read more

LOVE this spot! The vibes alone are immaculate and our server was amazing! The food is delicious and the portions are very generous. We came by for lunch today for San Clemente Restaurant Week and had ourselves a very big and very tasty meal! Started with the wedge salad, tasted good but my serving had too much dressing so I didn't finish it. My friend's salad was perfect though, so I think I just got a heavy poor. The New York Steak was great, we asked if we could upgrade the fries to the Kattywampus fries and they were able to accommodate the change. The fries were incredible, definitely would order those again as an appetizer! Dessert was fantastic, huge warm s'more brownie with vanilla ice cream and a caramel drizzle. I had plenty of leftovers and ended up having the rest for dinner. Overall great spot, I will definitely be coming back!! So many tasty menu items I need to try. The ambiance is also such a fun vibe, the decor inside the restaurant was amazing. They have plenty of outdoor seating as well. Can't wait to come back! read more

I LOVE Krazy Kooters!! Owners are so involved and present with the place. Really great, kind people and all staff are friendly and helpful. Just a great vibe of a place and so much creativity and attention to detail with the ambience. Food is good and they often have a variety of entertainment.in the back room. Live music, comedy shows, as well as tableside magicians on brunch weekends. We are so lucky to have them here! Go and support and enjoy the offerings. read more

Before I write reviews for places I really enjoy, I like to visit a few times to get a true feel for the food, the vibe, and the people. One visit never tells the full story, and Krazy Kooters has quickly become one of those spots that keeps calling us back. Even before looking at the menu, we were drawn in by the decor and music. According to our bartender, the inspiration behind the restaurant comes from The Dukes of Hazzard,and it shows in the best way. Every piece of furniture, every detail on the walls, and every corner of the space has a story and a piece of art behind it. Take a moment to talk with the staff. They are not only incredibly welcoming and friendly but also genuinely love sharing the history of the space, where everything comes from, and the artists behind the decor. Our favorites by far are Deedee and Maddie. They are top-notch, full of energy, and always bring the fun. It's more than a meal here,it's an experience. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and unforgettable. Krazy Kooters strikes the perfect balance between family friendly and adult friendly. We love coming on Saturdays or Sundays when the magicians are performing. Thanks to them, our 10-year-old has discovered a love for magic and now practices tricks at home. It's been such a fun and inspiring experience for him. When it comes to the food, we've made our way through a big chunk of the menu and every dish has delivered Have Me a Steak Chicken and Waffles Pappy's Medicine It's All Gravy The Klassic Kooter The Wedge Salad Organic Garden Beets And today's new favorite, Guero's Tacos made with ground beef. It was the perfect mix between a Mexican tortilla and a juicy burger,so good. We also visited on Father's Day and had the chance to meet the owner and his wife. Their story of how they entered the restaurant world is inspiring. They are down to earth, humble, and full of passion. And let me just say, his wife is absolutely stunning inside and out. Shoutout again to Deedee and Maddie for making every visit fun, warm, and welcoming. Don't forget to say hi and ask how they're doing. They truly brighten up the whole experience. If you happen to catch the magic shows, be ready to be amazed. Chris Blackmore, John George, and Johnny Ace Palmer are incredible. They wow the kids and impress the adults too. I'm writing this review while listening to Velvet Sky by Los Lonely Boys and honestly, it matches the way I feel every time I leave Krazy Kooters, happy, full, and inspired. I highly recommend this place for the food, the people, the magic, and the energy. It's not just a restaurant. It's a whole vibe I just wish they have white claws! #krazykooters #familyfriendly #supportlocal #magicweekends #dukesofhazzardvibes #sogood #ocrestaurants #loslonelyboys #velvetskyvibes read more

5 stars! Amazing food (now that's what a REAL smash burger should taste like), welcoming and friendly service (I mean, everyone we came in contact with was engaging and looked happy to work there), super cool and artsy ambiance with ample space inside and outdoor patio with heaters. Extra stars for the amazing weekend brunch entertainment. Not only was there an amazing acoustic musician BUTTTT an incredible magician keeping all guests entertained. Now this is what a restaurant experience should feel like. We will definitely comeback and bring family and friends. Kudos to the owners for doing it right! read more

While visiting San Clemente, we were looking for a breakfast place to eat with outside seating to accommodate my dog, and so glad we chose this spot. The food was unbelievable. All 3 dishes were amazing, and we didn't need to add any sauces or condiments as they were perfect the way they served it. The service was so exceptionally great, and they gave my doggie water and were so kind to him and us. I will definitely come back here again as the place looks as it would be super cute at night. read more

Came here with friends for some appetizers and drinks. Not much of a selection on the menu, but our server Stephanie was really great with recommendations. Drinks were good and appetizers were filling. We had the habanero chicken wings, which I loved, and was flavorful. We had the chicken lettuce cups which was very filling with the rice that it came with. And the fried pickles which tasted like corn dog covered pickles. Interesting but good. Sit out on the patio and enjoy the breeze and sunshine. read more

Had brunch here and it was great, along with the service. Real nice out on the patio. Same owner as Sancho's.

Hands down the best service, burgers, wings and milkshakes!!! This place will forever be my go to. I can't get enough!!!!

If I could give this place 10 stars I would such a great and well needed venue for San Clemente. Tried to get tickets the first weekend for comedy night and was sold out so finally went this Saturday at 8 pm and the comedians did not disappoint... pretty much laughed our butts off the entire time. Total 4 comedians 2 from LA cost $10 but get online asap as this sells out by Tuesday. wine and beer $8 and tons of food if u want to eat get there early tables inside separate area ... place seats maybe 75 no standing so easy view for all. Some couch seating but mostly slat chairs (not the most comfy) but I love this gem let's keep it rolling once word gets out im afraid I will not be able to keep up with demand. read more

Stopped in here on the way back from LA. It was really busy because it was Mother's Day. The servers were working extra hard, the food was really tasty, and the ambiance was fun. I thought we were just going to get a random burger but this place was really fun and the food was better than expected. Big props to the service staff! read more

Larger groups & attractive men are catered to forsure on a Saturday night. Was told the appetizer we ordered would come out after the entree because it takes up 2 fryers ?? Doesn't make a ton of sense. Also when asked why the appetizer would come out after, was told it's because the bartender & kitchen are busy , still something that makes no sense. Things happen, I'm a fine dining server , be honest !!! Clearly it was not coursed out. Not that big of a deal but recovery is everything. Saying she's busy & the kitchens busy is a weird excuse. Still tipped 50% but would most likely not return read more

First time at Krazy Kooters in San Clemente and wow -- Taylor the bartender made the whole experience . She's not just pouring drinks, she's pouring personality, fun, and good vibes. Her energy lights up the bar, and it's impossible not to have a good time with her behind it. If Taylor's working, you already know it's going to be a party. She's the kind of bartender that turns "just one drink" into staying for a whole night of laughs. Total superstar. ‍ read more

I love Krazy Kooters! Every time I go I like it even more. Everyone that works there is friendly the food is always delicious. The drinks fun. I love the decor it's also very fun and I always take my out of towners there to show off how cool San Clemente is. The food comes out fast and it's one of my top favorite places to frequent when we go out! I crave their bacon blue cheese burger all the time. read more

Krazy Kooters - A pic of my cousin of Switzerland loving the decor! - Burgers Near Me - San Clemente, California

The buddies and I meet up for lunch on Wednesdays either after golf or just to hang out. Our go-to spot is Daily's in San Clemente, but we were meeting earlier than noon, when Daily's opens. I was skeptical of going to Krazy Kooters as they recently opened and I wanted to give them time get the kinks out. But, here we were. The patio was a great first impression, as it is spacious and it had a nice breeze coming through. We sat at a high top and waited for our third buddy to show up. As I sat down, our great server, Zachary, came out with the wine the one buddy ordered and he took my order for a diet coke. Time to review the menu to see what culinary expedition I would be on for lunch today. The menu was not extensive and later one buddy would comment that it would be hard to come here weekly, as there was not a variety of choices. Since we were waiting for the third buddy, we decided to order some Frickles. Fried dill pickle chips, battered in krispy kornmeal (notice the comedy "K" theme??) with jalapeno ranch. When served, the Frickles had sweet pickled jalapenos and cilantro on top. These were pretty good, but I thought they were a little thick. I really like the fried pickles at Hooters, in fact that may be the only other place I have had fried pickles. You get about 10 or 12 Frickles. When I return (is that foreshadowing?) I would pass on the Frickles. While we munched on those, the third buddy showed up and we were ready to order once he took a quick looky-loo at the menu. The awesome Zachary was ready for us to order and my choice was the Klassic Kooter (those K's again!) which is a smash patty, white American cheese, brioche bun and fancy sauce. (I wish I would have asked what was fancy about it or at least what it was!). I added lettuce, tomato, raw onions, extra pickles. You have a choice of adding more smash patties, but I went with the klassic one patty. The burger comes with Krazy Fries (house punched fries with Kooter's seasoning). See the nice presentation in my pictures. The buddies both ordered the Hawt Chick ($20) - Krispy breaded Mary's chicken breast, mild or spicy Nashville style hat sauce dunk, dill pickle chips and Kooters slaw. Sorry, did not get a photo. The one buddy ordered the sandwich mild and the other ordered as spicy as they can make it and also asked to add jalapenos. Zachary laughed and took his order. We all had our drinks refreshed and after a bit Zachary brought out our food on small baking pans. They all looked good. I always go for my fries first and depending on how much I like them I will eat some, a majority portion or all of them before I go on to my burger. These fries were very, very good, fresh kut and cooked nice and krunchy. Without being detected, I had absconded the second little tub of jalapeno ranch that came with the Frickles. That was a tasty kombo with the great fries. Well, I ate them all. Every Krazy fry was in my gullet. On to the burger and due to the konsumption of all if my fries, I was planning on kutting the burger in half and eating that. However, I just picked up the entire burger and started chomping. It just looked great. Perfect melty cheese, nicely stacked ingredients on the sexy, shiny brioche bun. One bite and I proclaimed, "WOW!" even as I was still chewing the first bite. It was delicious. Best burger I have had in some time. Bun was soft and fresh, smashed patty cooked nicely, veggies were krunchy and fresh and the fancy sauce was really tasty, but I still don't know why it's fancy! This was an awesome burger. Go get one. Prove me wrong, I dare you! You will be so grateful you read this long diatribe about a burger and fries! The buddies really liked (loved) their chicken sandwiches. Juicy, perfect spice and a hot, delicious mess. My plan is to try the Hawt Chick sandwich next time and get it spicy! My Kompliments to the Krazy Kooter Kchef. Kudos to those in the Kitchen. I am very Keen on Krazy Kooters. I'm not Kidding, bring your Kinfolk and leave the Kittens at home because you will be Knee-deep in fancy sauce and jalapeno ranch. You may want to Kneel and praise the Lord after your burger. If you now Know about KK's it would be bad Karma not to go to this Kid-friendly place. Kindly ask for the Klassic Kooter and you with think it KICKS-Butt! Ha, ha!! I will be back to have the wife try it out. Go! Eat Well!! HAVE FUN!!! p.s. I was a bit blown away by the very nice bathroom! Nicely decorated, very clean. And to add, they are improving the patio on the roof for ocean view drinking and dining. Awesome! I will be back for sure. read more

A few days ago my friend and I were taking a walk on El Camino Real and got lured into Krazy Kooters by the live music. The coziness of this cute place will make you feel right at home. Mia, our server, was able to answer all my questions about the menu, so I ordered the fried pickles (frickles), and my friend ordered a mahi bowl. We weren't sure about dessert, and Mia said that milk shakes are for dessert. Good to know for next time, since we were rather full. It was this past Sunday, and maybe you will be able to enjoy their live music while dining at Krazy Kooters like we did. It was hard to leave because of the music. We guarantee that we'll return for the atmosphere, the service, and for the music. Since I'm vegetarian, it's hard to find things on traditional menus, but I can always find something. Certainly, my friends can find multiple items that are satisfying, just like my friend was able to do this past Sunday. He loved his mahi-mahi dish! It's a delight being here. Shout-out to Mia! read more

Really great burgers! Chicken fried steak breakfast was gigantic, a little greasy, but still pretty good. And the cocktails are the best.
