The food was decent. Not bad. Not life changing. The crispy chicken sandwich did its job and clocked out on time. The chicken had a nice crunch. The lettuce and tomato gave it that fresh fast-casual balance. The bun held everything together without turning into a wet napkin, which honestly deserves respect. It was the kind of sandwich you finish without complaints, but not the kind you text the group chat about at midnight. The cheddar melt burger had a solid look and a familiar flavor. Cheesy. Messy enough to feel satisfying. Straightforward in a way that almost felt shy. Nothing was off. Nothing was doing backflips either. It landed right in that middle lane of reliable lunch. Good enough to enjoy. Not dramatic enough to become a craving. Staff was friendly from jump. Easy energy. Clean interaction. No attitude. No confusion. The whole place felt organized and polite in a way that makes the visit smoother than the food is memorable. The spot itself was clean and calm. Comfortable. Functional. More grab-a-bite than hidden gem. The kind of place you stop by when you want something easy and pleasant without needing fireworks. It's giving... a perfectly nice sitcom side character who gets laughs but is not stealing the season. read more

Chill burger spot right off PCH! This is just a classic burger joint that has been serving burgers and food for years. I loved my meal. Fries were soooo good. I've always wanted to eat here and I finally did. My friend said she would come here as a kid and I loved that. I'd def recommend this spot if you have kids or just chillen after the beach! read more

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.

I was VERY disappointed in this business. What an absolute waste of such a fantastic location. It's right on the corner gathering all the attention, right across from a lovely park with tons on picnic tables and umbrellas for all to enjoy. I sincerely hope the landlord uses the reviews. This place is $9 for a simple hotdog. $15 for a 7 11 cheeseburger with no fries and $5 small soda and refills are $1. PLEASE FOLKS THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER PLACES STEPS AWAY TO BUY FOOD AT. What a shameless owner. No CLASS but low class read more

Very tasty and authentic falafel! And very kind and respectful staff! Had lunch on the go and was very glad I did!

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 read more

Malibu Mutt - crispy chicken sandwich and cheddar burger - Burgers Near Me - Malibu, California

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. read more

Love this place! Such a great restaurant from my past! I always enjoyed the princess and the falafel.

The Malibu mutt is awesome. I've been eating there since the 80's. It's my favorite falafel anywhere.

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! read more

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! read more

Wish I read reviews. Waited about 45 FOURTY FIVE MINUTES for some bland rice, lettuce with nothing on it, and a few prices of small chicken. For $30 THIRTY DOLLARS. What a rip off! Never call when food is ready or tell you when to pick up. Do not recommend. Also, since the food is so flavorless, just know you will have pay extra for any sauce. read more

Get the falafel with cheese, avocado, and extra sauce!! That's the way to do it, and it's amazing every time! Been coming here for years. Chili cheese fries are a great addition as well! read more

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! read more

I love the hotdogs here, but I am sad to see that I come at 4:50 to get a hot dog and they deny my service. They say they are closed when they don't close until 5 o'clock! They did not want to serve me because they had already started cleaning! I was very disappointed with my evening. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Malibu Mutt - Order window - Burgers Near Me - Malibu, California

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.... read more

Was greeted right away by "Jusevio", at the counter I asked which are the most popular burgers, so long story short I get the Cheddar Melt Burger but added extra avocado, lettuce, and onions. Total came out to $27.27, original price around 13$. Inflation is ughh, I know. But overall experience was honestly not bad and my stomach didn't hurt or feel queezy at all after eating the food so I wouldn't mind coming back at all! read more

Eek. Malibu prices for sub par food. Falafels with a white tortillas LOL French fries sub par. Disappointing. Staff nice.

Falafel with cheese. I've been coming here since I was a kid, I travel the world and when I came back this is my first stop. Literally one of my favorite foods in the world. 3.5 darts is ridiculous! read more

These burgers are amazing. They're huge, flavorful, and fresh. The fries are also amazing. Thick, hot chips.

It's pretty quick burgers, grilled cheese, chicken sandwiches. The taste is ok not great. My kids do enjoy the grilled cheese and steak fries. The peopl serving you are ok not really friendly. read more

Malibu Mutt - Terryaki burger - Burgers Near Me - Malibu, California

Great burger !! Highly recommend the double burger. Also the teriyaki burger was excellent. The meat is fresh and well seasoned, the bun is really delicious a dark bread and more wholesome than usual, accompanied by a generous wedge of onion, tomato and romaine lettuce. They use a nice touch of thousand island but not heavy, just enough for flavor. Not five stars because it didn't have a side dish included (anything! even a pickle) and their drink selection is limited to run of the mill sodas and lemonade. read more

These people are a ripoff!!! Oily fries, oily falafel. Then they charge taxes equaling $12. My bill came out to $49. And wanted a dollar for a refill. THIS PLACE SUCKS!!! read more

This place has been here a LONG LONG time before I was born ( I'm 28 ). I've had everything on the menu and visit here often. It's all highly above average so lets move on. My usual is the vegetarian falafel. The falafel is seasoned so well I'm fairly certain it's the best I've ever had. I've had falafels from MANY Mediterranean food places and they don't even come close to these. They roll it up into pita bread w/ yogurt sauce, lettuce and tomato and it couldn't be any better. Simple yet extremely tasteful and enjoyable. I can't comment on decor much because this place is a order at window outside spot. Fast food but gourmet with style and great preparation. Staff: Very nice, professional and helpful. Food: Highly above average. Cleanliness: Clean as far as I can see and tell. Decor: N/A read more

Malibu Mutt - Cup of chili - Burgers Near Me - Malibu, California

I've come here through the years, nice stop between Ventura and LA. The hamburgers are good, the turkey burger has not maintained its quality. Today got a melted cheese turkeyburger ($8.95), a turkey patty for Joey, and fries, plus a coke. $22.50 A little steep for food you order from a window in the outdoor area of Malibu Country Mart. The turkey did not taste fresh and even Joey the dog wouldn't eat it. The fries were terrific, though I would like them a little more crisp. Fries are separate, $2.95, don't come with the burger. The nicest thing about this place is that it's in the Mart, with grass, playground for kids, lots of shops, and lots of outdoor tables. Today it was mobbed with bike riders from the AIDS bike ride, and there was still lots of room. So worth it to come here every once in awhile, even though it's not 5 stars. read more

I have been coming here for over 30 years and only order the Falafel which in my view is the best I have ever had. There is outdoor seating all around and even on busy days I usually find a spot. Perfect place to bring young ones with the sandbox and swings and slides nearby. The Owner is always here and has been for all these years, working along his efficient crew. Everyone is awesome! Please use the tip jar, they work hard with friendliness to get the food out fast and it is so good! read more

What a cool little place. Wonderful outside sitting area and lots of people watching. The falafel sandwich was awesome. They make a great plate of food!! Enjoy. read more

I've been coming here for years for exactly one thing.....FRENCH FRIES. They are big steak fries that are crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. They are never greasy and they are served from the window piping hot. YUMMMMM! read more

So you're here... in Malibu, and you're looking for a bite to eat that isn't A) a fast food chain or B) a sit-down money pit. Congratulations! Because if you're in the Malibu Mart area, you're pretty much in one of two locations where finding such a meal is possible (the other being where Lily's Cafe is next to Von's). In the mood for a burger as opposed to the Mexican offered at Howdy's? Malibu Mutt it is. Star 1 - How was the service and atmosphere? Especially for being in Malibu, Mutt is about as simple as it gets. Walk up to the counter, place your order, pay and wait. The first glaring issue is that Mutt is cash only. Seriously? What century are we in? Especially in Malibu, where you pay a premium for absolutely everything, you'd think that Mutt's relatively pricey menu would warrant a credit card machine. Besides that, the service is quick. Star Granted. Star 2 - How were the portions relative to the cost? Opting to go with the Western Burger ($8.95 before tax) and a Chocolate Milkshake ($4.25 before tax), I was pleased to see that my burger was of a decent size: http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=OKX-V5j_qfuOebeHeWGrHg&select=b-Y1rJ8VRskhr-jO43ssuA As you can see, the burger is decent, it came packed with a good and fresh patty, and I left full for under $15. Yes, the milkshake was overpriced, but it wasn't enough to warrant the loss of a star. By Malibu standards, Mutt is acceptable in the value department if you want to eat out. Star Granted. Stars 3/4 - How was the food? Meh. My burger was good, but honestly nothing special. While I appreciated the fresh ingredients, I wished I was on the other side of the canyon where my $10 could fetch me a beast of a burger virtually anywhere. Additionally, the milkshake was disappointing, and was very clearly made with Hershey Syrup. Single Star Granted. Star 5 - Would you eat it every day if you could? Unless you're good and ready for some fancy dining at a cost, Malibu is really a case of pick your poison when it comes to eating out. Outside of chains, (and it should be noted that nearby La Salsa isn't a bad option by any means) the options are typically just shy of that $10 meal range, and as a result I can't honestly say I've ever given this star to a Malibu location. Want to enjoy a meal in Malibu? Go to Ralphs, grab some goodies, and picnic out on the beach. No Star Granted. read more

Malibu Mutt - Western Burger and a Chocolate Shake - $14.50 - Burgers Near Me - Malibu, California

No, their falafel sandwich is not authentic but it's SO YUMMY! After seeing such bummer reviews about my beloved Mutts Falafel, I decided it was time to update my 7 year old review. Here are a few things to know: *If you are expecting falafel balls in a pita pocket with a tahini based sauce, this ain't it. *It's rolled in a whole pita & wrapped in paper, do NOT unwrap it!! You risk an awful mess if you do. Tear the paper as you go. *Order it with extra sauce - it's more like a yogurt dressing, a tzatzki without cucumber, if you will. *There IS good amount of lettuce & cabbage but it lends a nice crunch. *If you want to go REALLY non-traditional, add cheese...so worth it! Again, this is not a traditional falafel in a pita pocket but I think if you know that going in, you'll find a deep love for The Mutts unique take on it. The falafel is the reason for my 5 stars. read more

O man, this has to be the worst burger ever! The patties are frozen and perfectly shaped and Thinner than McDonalds. They come on whole wheat buns similar to Wonder buns. Yuck! Everything is very generic, one lettuce leaf thick white onion and a green tomato with thousand island dressing. I got a turkey burger, my husband got a classic hamburger and our son got a chili dog. One order of fries to share. No drinks. Total? $36.00!!! It's like a walk up window beach shack. They give you a number on your receipt for your order. We were waiting on the bench right in front of it for quite awhile so my husband walked to the window and found our food just sitting there. They never even called our number out to let us know it was ready. By the time we ate it it was like warm. Bummer. Won't ever return or recommend. Shocked it's been there so long. Blaaaaah, that's all. read more

Well - what can I say that's critical about this place? Nothing?! Yep - it's a combination of a deli and grill - you order outside and pick up inside and it's sometimes not obvious how to go about it if it's your first time (it was our first time) - and we just split an italian sandwich. It was typical and good - no complaints. Dining outside the crowd was typical - I grew up in Malibu some 30 years ago and moved on when I was on my own - ending up in a nice but not Malibu neighborhood over the hill. There my next oor neighbor is a pro football player and the fellow across the street has a hot red Ferrari - so it's similarly nice and mildly pretentious - not me of course... chuckles... but back to Malibu Mutts' ... Their site was not in existence when I resided in Malibu - so the discovery of the place is a pleasant surprise. Outdoor seating and I'm an easy fan! I'll be back to relax and get a bite to eat again soon. read more

The best lunch place around Malibu! Whenever we drop by Malibu, my family always visit this place for lunch. Burgers and falafel are exceptionally delicious with fresh patty grilled and good and fresh quality bread. Kids menu such as chicken fries, grilled cheese sandwich, erc are great as well. read more

Recently had lunch here and ordered the falafel wrap with fries. I wasn't impressed by the falafel wrap at all; the falafel was just OK and the tahini sauce wasn't anything special. Fries were standard fat fries in a regular paper tray, which get points for not being greasy. The area is a nice place to sit and relax though. read more
