    Falafel
    Scott G.

    Maybe the only affordable lunch in Malibu. LOL I got the falafel and liked it enough to come back the next day and get another. Nice service and there are picnic tables to eat. Check it out.

    crispy chicken sandwich and cheddar burger

    they had a lot of options of burgers/sandwiches to try. of the two i liked the chicken sandwich more, fries were thick cut. the burger tasted similar to a homemade one

    The western bacon burger
    Steven B.

    This is a small place located in the Malibu Village and Country Mart area. They have a very nice menu and you order through a window. There is no indoor seating as well. The menu consists of burgers, chicken and turkey sandwiches, and falafel and more. Items are not sold as combos so you need to order fries and drinks separately. Not a fan of this, however it's Malibu Beach area, so we decided to give it a try on a couple of recommendations by people in the village. The food was amazing! I had the western bacon burger with huge steak fries and my friend had the turkey avocado sandwich with fries. We both thought the food was 5 star quality. Best fries perhaps I have ever had. Not bad for a place we almost couldn't find. There is plenty of outdoor seating in the courtyard area of the mall. Excellent place to eat. A bit pricey, but we'll worth it.

    You know it's nice to be able to go to a place like Malibu were things are generally expensive but find some good old fashion food where you can enjoy yourself and pay a reasonable price. I had to go for the mutts dog... The hotdog I went with pickles relish mustard and it was a beautiful hotdog... I had to add the chili cheese fries to which I shared with a friend the price of a nice full flavor add some hot sauce if you want to pick it up a bit I didn't even have to wait more than seven minutes to get my order enjoy enjoy the outdoor seating and I think he will to stop by for a bite you won't regret it!

    Teriyaki burger
    Kay J.

    I hate giving less than 4 stars but this is really meh food and meh food makes me sad! We got the teriyaki burger for $10.95. To add cheese, it's $2 extra, and to have fries on the side it's another $5.95. What? Crazy! The burger was so extremely bland and also dry. It lacked so much flavor, so sad! It also took long to make. So glad didn't add fries because was gonna be disappointed even more perhaps. We also got the falafel salad for $12.95 which is insane for 4 pieces of dry falafel with a bunch of cabbage, lettuce, and tomatoes, but I guess inflation! Right? You have to find your own seats outside by the playground and all the other restaurants and stores. There are mostly benches, and they're usually packed on weekends so better keep an eye out for available seats before you order at the window. It's a really nice, relaxing, outdoor seating, but can be noisy and super sunny at times but there are shaded areas and all the tables have umbrellas. It's a nice atmosphere and it's nice to bring your kids here too because it's enjoyable for them too! I'm not sure if I'll order here again, but if I do, I'll get something else for sure!

    Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Platter
    AJ C.

    Seems like they have made some changes in the last year and are continuing to improve. The chicken teriyaki platter, though on the pricey end, was very filling and put together well both in presentation, quantity, and flavor. Was very enjoyable in the California sun! The Mutt Dog though was overdone and I didn't like it as much. A lot of filling and not much dog to it. Great place for families and for days with good weather! The playground and area is cute and could be a fun afternoon!

    The food is decent but not great. The prices are high even for a tourist shopping bazaar. This is a walk up fast food place. It was $30 for two small sandwiches with one order of fries and without drinks. The seating was shared with other eateries and lacked any charm other than people watching. Maybe I should have had a falafel since most of the good reviews include the falafel.

    Order window
    Mahmut E.

    I was visiting Malibu Village and saw falafel on the wall of this small food shack. I ordered falafel sandwich. You order from a window. They have tables outside in the village courtyard. It was ready in less than five minutes. Ordering was easy and staff was friendly. Food was just okay for me because I had better falafels. Especially wrap-bread was crumpling and there were more filling than falafel I think. It was just okay for me.

    Order and pickup windows 4/17/2021

    Summary: heard good things about this place from some others but I was not very impressed... Food: ordered the double Malibu burger with cheese and Turkey avocado burger. Nothing really wrong with the meal EXCEPT missing some serious flavor. Not much seasoning on both burgers, if any at all. I'm just not sure. Fries were good but at $6, pretty hefty in cost. Big fries that taste good but also lacking the seasoning. Ambiance: it's mixed up with other restaurants by the park. Lots of outdoor bench tables and other spots to sit and eat. Other restaurants here too so you have lots of options when it comes to food. All restaurants and retail spots are in nice locations. Parking: busy Saturday, especially given the pandemic but no problems finding a parking spot. Lots of spots. Service: pick up/ take out windows with minimal contact so service is not that applicable. No issues with the order. Food took about 10 minutes. I wish they had a sound system so that I could sit somewhere and still here my order number. Conclusion: probably not eating here again but if you want something somewhat quick that taste okay, try it out. Not bad but....

    About as basic as a burger can taste, even when adding bacon and cheese. And as basic as they are, they're very much overpriced.

No gimmicks, just solid execution and real flavor in every bite. The fries stood out too--fried in beef tallow, which you can taste right away. They've got that rich, old-school flavor with a legit crisp that's hard to find now. Nice added touch: they throw in a couple of large potato chips with the fries. At first it caught me off guard, but it actually works--adds an extra layer of crunch and makes the whole tray feel a little more thoughtful. The whole experience feels intentional without trying too hard. Simple menu, fair pricing, and food that actually delivers. In a sea of overhyped, overpriced pop-ups, this place is the real deal.

I suggest calling in ahead of time as service can get backed up a bit during the lunch rush as it's all cooked to order. Always friendly staff that feels like they matter. So much so that I have often asked if they are members of the family, and the response is always no. So they must be doing something right to find employees who actually care. The ambiances adequate- but the place is super clean which is probably more important!! A trip to the restroom and you'll be pleasantly surprised that behind the scenes is as clean as the front. There is a decent patio in front and a few seats inside to dine but I wouldn't rate this based on the ambiance. It's about the food, service and value!
