    Mushroom Swiss Burger
    Caitlin K.

    Was just what I wanted! Fresh burger cooked to order. You can make it your own way or choose from their options for toppings. Not too greasy, but a good juicy burger with fresh cut fries served hot!

    Bread is nice and soft

    First time here. Easy to read the menu. Just enough choices. Fries are amazing, burger is good too just don't wait too long to eat it. The bread gets soggy and everything slips off. Very tasty though. They will eventually need a bigger place. Nice job guys

    My first experience here was terrible, bad communication, burnt fries and our burgers were not even warm, just room temperature. We placed an online order since we were close by at a nearby coffee shop, we went over to pick up our order. We stood by the pick up counter and were ignored. No greeting or we will be with you shortly, nothing. They weren't even busy. We waited for 10 minutes and asked an employee walking by about our order. It was just sitting on the counter getting cold. We ordered the patty melt burger, hot bacon jam burger, the family sized fries and a couple of shakes. The burgers weren't even hot, the fries were most burnt ends and tasted like they were cooked in super old fry oil. Absolutely awful. Someone reached out to us to share our thoughts and we told them what happened. They sent us gift cards to give them another try, we did and but it became such a hassle to even use them. The staff was unaware they offered gift cards, they didn't want to honor the gift cards, and then decided to only give us a partial discount. We were told we had $40 to spend and were only able to use part of it. There was so much confusion and miscommunication just to give them another chance, it was not worth it. The food isn't great, the shakes were okay, but stay away from their fries.

    Adult and child finished their burgers with no complaints and would be willing to come back. Ranch sauce was free. Mooyah sauce is similar to ranch mixed with ketchup. Parking was plentiful and easy to find. Seating might be a little tricky as there seems to be a steady stream of customers dining in. Not a fan of cold buns, not sure if can ask them to heat it up on the grill. French fries were unseasoned and unevenly fried - some were crispy and some were mushy. Kids still enjoyed them.

    I had just finished seeing a movie at the nearby mall, and prior to that, a hike at Hosp Grove, so I was starving! MOOYAH to the rescue! The burger was ample (if a bit greasy), tasty sweet potato fries, and I got a free cookie, which was delicious! The staff was excellent and very kind to the folks who came in after I was seated at one of the spotless tables. It felt like community. This place is a keeper, and next time I'm getting a shake!

    We were visiting the Flower Fields and were craving a good, juicy burger. We had seen Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes on social media and decided to stop by and give it a try--and we're really glad we did. Let's just say this was one of the best burgers I've ever had. My pregnant wife absolutely loved it and even joked that the baby was happy too. We ordered the MDC Burger and the Mushroom Swiss Burger, and both were incredible. The burgers were juicy, delicious, and packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. The fries were amazing--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, exactly how fries should be. I also had an Oreo shake, and it was thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious. On top of the great food, the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even better. If you're near the Flower Fields and craving a great burger, Mooyah is definitely worth the stop. We'll definitely be coming back!

    Everything was super fresh and delicious. The place was clean and workers are all very nice. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend.

    Little MOO Shake mint chocolate chip

    I love me some in-n-out, but if you're looking for a switch up, look no further than MOOYAH. My go-to order is just the cheeseburger which uses a soft potato bun, a beefy patty and topped with delicious MOOYAH sauce and classic veggies. They also offer a number of different burger options to your liking. I also think it's nice that they offer either fries or chips as the side in case you're craving one or the other. I tried their Mooshake which was just okay, not as thick as I thought. The chocolate chips in the mint chip shake are also too large to go through the straw, so you need a spoon to eat this. There's a decent amount of seating inside and outside and the staff are all incredibly welcoming and friendly! I'd definitely recommend MOOYAH for their solid burgers and fries!

    First time visiting this burger joint , and oh boy it did not disappoint! The burgers are extremely tasty , the bread is super soft and the fry tray is a good size . Glad we tried this placed after our flower fields trip. Too bad we are in Los Angeles, or we would be visiting every weekend. A plus is also their friendly and courteous staff, Ash was exceptionally friendly and cared so much for his customers. Till next time Mooya. A now family favorite.

    So good! Visited for the second time here while in the area and it was delicious. Fresh ingredients, really soft bun and flavorful, their fries are good. I love that they have the skin on them and aren't greasy. Service was great, the owner is always super attentive and nice to everyone that comes in and checks on them. It's a family oriented place with wall lined seating and charging stations along the booths super nifty! Patio seating in a warm day and friendly atmosphere.

    Build Your Own Burger with bacon, pepper jack cheese, grilled onions, jalapeños, and fresh mushrooms. Excellent.

    Small shop, great burgers, great shakes. The burgers are very good here. The patties themselves aren't enormous but they are very well seasoned and delicious. The buns are also very nice and soft. You can order one of their creations (we tried the Cheddar Bacon BBQ) or build your own. For the Build Your Own, I added pepper jack cheese, mushrooms, jalapeños, bacon, and spicy sauce. It turned out to be a huge burger and it was outstanding. The Cheddar Bacon BBQ was also good. The fries are clearly housemade, which I appreciated, but were not very crispy or well-seasoned. They reminded me of In-N-Out fries, which are not good, to say the least. Maybe it's just a personal preference but I prefer crispy fries. The shake we tried (peanut butter cup) was also freshly-made and was terrific. It was as thick as concrete and I don't care if you need a spoon to eat it. It's wonderful. I almost forgot: they also have a (not so) secret menu that is available at the front counter or online. These offerings are far more daring, like a hot dog on your burger, and honestly, they sounded really good. Just add me to the list of all the many other 5 star reviews. I was absolutely impressed. These are great burgers.

    The food tasted well but there was a weird smell in the restaurant. I had the recommended mooyah double burger and a hot dog. Solid.

    5/11/2026 Got there…read moreearly on a Monday before noon. Only one family and one other person dining there. It was not busy, yet. But after 12:00pm, lines started forming quickly! TANNER'S PRIME BURGER Got it as a double. Burger is a good size and it was very filling! For one person, it is a lot! Better come hungry because it is hard to eat the whole burger when you ate already. Maybe for guys it might be different though. The smashed patties were very juicy and dripping with beef fat! The crisp lettuce, sliced sweet onions and tomatoes helped keep the burger from being too heavy. They also give you a small Cascabella Pepper too. They serve your burger with their bottle of sauces brought together on the side. I liked their hot sauce which tasted like Frank's RedHot. Their main burger sauce was the typical burger sauce you get, kind of reminded you of McD sauce and In N Out sauce without the pickle juice tang. Ordered the Tanner's Prime Burger as a single burger for my mom, but did not try the single burger. But everything looked good! For those who only want more meat and cheese flavor in their burger, order Tanner's Prime Dirty Double. KIDS PRIME SLIDER Got this for my mom, but she did not like it after a bite of it, so I ate most of it. It is a simple slider with a single patty with American cheese on a brioche bun. There's also their own sauce called Tanner Sauce. It is a slider, so it is smaller than Tanner's Prime Burger, but the smashed patty was bigger than the brioche bun, so it was quite filling! Since it was grilled in tallow fat, you can taste it too and it can feel heavy after a few bites. Personally, I wouldn't recommend this. Tanner's Prime Burger is much better with the crisp lettuce, onions and tomatoes to cut the tallow fat. Love that they offer salad too, Tanner's Prime Burger Salad, everything minus the bun. TALLOW FRIES This was crispy and nicely salted. Slightly more saltier than I'd like though. It was good, but wished it was cut thinner, like McD fries. Overall it was good and I ate it with their hot sauce. After eating all this, your hands will smell like tallow. So wash your hands more than once! Wanted to get their beef tallow vanilla ice cream sandwich called Tanner's Fatty Patty, but sadly they did not have any that day. CUSTOMER SERVICE The whole staff was friendly and smiling. Good service overall. SEATS Plenty of seats indoors and outdoors! Sat in the booth and it was very comfy! Two unisex bathrooms available. PARKING It is a small parking lot, but there is street parking too. Overall, I had a good experience, but I will admit that the patties cooked in beef tallow is quite new to my palate. It was a heavy burger for my palate. Tasty, but heavy and healthier, too. I would definitely return when I'm given another chance to come by this way!

    Eating at Tanners is usually a real treat. I have celiac disease, and it is medically necessary for…read moreme not to eat gluten. In addition to offering gluten free buns AT NO UPCHARGE, Tanners safety protocol marks gluten free buns automatically as a gluten allergy. I have eaten here several times, and not been sick once. My issue with today's visit stems with our order being to go. The gluten free burger is not marked on the box, and it's not super obvious that the gluten free bun is gluten free. It's a funny complaint, because usually gluten free buns are terrible and obvious, but Tanners are by far the best gluten free buns of any restaurant. When we ordered to go the first time, the fries were included with the regular bun. Unfortunately, that made the fries unsafe for me to eat so my husband had to eat all the fries himself. Tonight we ordered three burgers, 2 regular and 1 gluten free. As we ordered, we requested the fries be included with the gluten free burger. (The 2 regular burgers did not want fries) When we arrived to our destination, the fries were crammed in the same box as the 2 regular burgers. The fries were all over the regular buns... rendering them unsafe for me to eat. I called Tanners to report the issue. The person who answered the phone said because we ordered a gluten free burger, their protocol is that only the gluten free burger can go in the box. Nothing else is allowed in. So I asked "When we ordered the fries and requested they be with the gluten free burger, why were we told 'sure' instead that the fries can't go in the gluten free burger box?" They paused, and answered "I'll tell them this happened." The big problem with this, is the person who answered the phone IS the person who placed our order. The name they said on the phone (Hello this is blah blah) is the name of the server on our receipt. Ordered Thursday 5/21, order 378. I don't take issue with the safety protocol of keeping the gluten free burger separate. I appreciate it! My issue is I made a specific request, was told "sure" instead of "no, because" Had we been told at time of ordering the gluten free has to be completely alone, then we could have requested a separate box. Had the server apologized for the error and taken ownership, I wouldn't be leaving this review. But the person who made the error answered the phone, and this is the only way to hold them accountable. I am not posting their name, but hopefully Tanners can see who it was from the date and order number posted above. I don't enjoy paying for food I can't eat.

Let me start off by saying I initially thought Burger Lounge would be great but heading to the closest In N Out would be just as good and at a fraction of the cost. Luckily for me, my little one refused my attempted coaxing. Parking was a breeze given the fact that the lot is massive- perfect for the neighboring businesses and the busy foot traffic coming and going. Our party of three were immediately greeting with a smiling young gentleman standing behind the register. At first glace, the restaurant was massive is size, very spacious, modern, and 100% well kept/tidy. Seating and decor was simple enough but still had a classiness to it. We placed our order with the smiling gentleman [whom I learned was ANDREW]. Dinner consisted of: *KIDS MEAL: Cheeseburger with onions, lettuce, and EXTRA pickles *BACON BLEU BURGER *TRUFFLE-MUSHROOM SWISS BURGER *LARGE HALF & HALF [ tallow fried onion rings + fries] *DRINK Food: I kid you not, EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!!! The order was made beautifully- presented well and cooked flawlessly. A+ for taste and presentation, which I totally didn't expect. Brioche buns were fluffy yet charred just enough on the grill to house all of the ingredients. The patties were flavorful and juicy. The goodness didn't stop there- BD mentioned Burger Lounge's onion rings being the BEST he's ever had!! Quality is absolutely undeniable. Above all, this burger joint runs smoothly thanks to the incredible staff. Each and every person we encountered was kind, polite, and so very eager to help with whatever requests. The only complaint I had was the terrible internet connection. Come here expecting to put your phones/tablets down even if you don't want to. LMAO. 5/5 stars but I'd easily give them so much more. Dinner was absolutely delicious and I am so sad that this particular Burger Lounge is soooo soooo far from home. I will 100% make it a habit to stop by whenever I happen to be in the area- THEY ARE TRULY THAT DAMN GOOD!!

It was easy peasy. It's located in the beautiful Bressi ranch area. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and the restaurant is loungey and cozy at the same time. Not too loungey to be kid inappropriate and not too cozy either. Celebrated a birthday dinner and was happy to see they offered delicious desserts such as the peanut butter cake which was the fav of the table. They have an extensive but not overwhelming menu. They do have plenty of drink offerings including mocktails, whiskey , soda, and wine. Love the variety of burgers they have. We ordered different types and were able to cut into quarters to share. The fav of the table was the fig but I still root and hold it down for the bacon jalapeño. I love the mixture of sweet and savory. Appetizers that were delicious include the Korean frachos and Brussel sprouts.

This is my kind of place....plus the food (appetizers & desserts) were great too. Items we tried were fried pickles, onion rings, dry-rub wings, cheesecake, turtle pie and carrot cake. The fried pickles were probably the best I've had. Crisp and delicious batter. The Eureka dry rub is definitely the way to go. I still crave them! Desserts were great too but I was buzzed eating them back at the hotel so you know..... Drinks we tried: Pineapple Tequila Sour, Headhunter King and Wild Child. The first night I ordered and LOVED the Pineapple Tequila Sour and my husband ordered the Headhunter King which he didn't like at all so guess what? I drank it and enjoyed it and he had a spiced rum and coke. LOL The second night I had a couple of Wild Childs. OMG, they are amazing. I wish I could find that drink here in Tucson. My boring husband had more rum & cokes, The environment at Eureka is great. We did sit at the bar both nights and that bar is hoppin'! I like that there is so much outdoor space too which allows families to enjoy themselves and let the kids have room to have fun. Eureka is a great spot and I highly recommend it. Where's my Wild Child?!

    We love this place! Super chill Encinitas vibe and great food.

If they brought it back we would legitimately eat there 2x more every month. Great place though!

    I had high hopes for this place, especially since it's a cool looking corner shack on the North…read moreCoast Highway 101 in Leucadia. However, it was an odd experience on a few levels... The music was blasting and it was rather dark inside with an interesting crowd. There is a chill vibe here with a small bar area that caters to just a few locals who brought their dogs and even their babies. I could tell that everyone knew each other. When I ordered, Colin tried to upsell me on some chicken nuggets in addition to the burger and fries that I requested. He was a cool guy, but that was a first for me in a burger joint as a native San Diego. Then, I asked for the meal to be packaged to go, and we had some discussion about it, so I was surprised when it was delivered on a tray for here. I got the sense that business was slow here, and that he was trying to bring in some more business. Now for the food... The Classic Hut Burger was more like a smashburger (1/4"), which was a dissapointment. If I would have known that the burger patty would be so small, then I would have ordered the double burger. The fries were similar to shoestring fries, and they were a bit over salted for my taste. Overall, the food was good, but nothing special... This was a one-time visit, but I'm sure if I lived in Encinitas, then I would stop by for a beer and those chicken nuggets that they raved about. This place has so much potential, but it's going to take some serious dedication to making it a special visit for each and every one of their customers, not just the people who live around the corner.

Drink orders arrived fast and our order was taken soon after getting our drinks. I ordered the Tombstone which is their Western cheeseburger, Two 1/4 lb. patties, bacon, grilled onion, cheddar cheese, AHB BBQ Sauce, topped with onion rings on a brioche bun with a side of onion rings. The portions were huge and the burger was cooked perfectly. The onion rings were pretty standard for what you'd expect but were tasty and a big portion. Beer selection was great and we enjoyed our lunch here. Highly recommended!

I was soooo excited about the Philly connection, as I'm very familiar with cheesesteaks having lived near Philly in a past life. Well, I was sorely disappointed. We were told that the bread is flown in daily from Philly. Well, I don't know where it's coming from because it's definitely not the same bread as what they normally use there. The sandwich and meat were dry and flavorless. Totally underwhelming unfortunately. So then we saw that they made key lime pie there too! Again, I was SUPER excited because key lime pie is my favorite dessert of all time. And again...disappointment. I took one glance and saw that it was light green in color and knew I was gonna be mad. Yall, Key lime pie is yellow. You should NEVER add food coloring. That's just gross and inaccurate. The texture and flavor were also off. Texturally it was way too thick and dense, which would have been fine if it actually tasted like key lime. But it was severely lacking in that tart key lime flavor that it's known for. I'd definitely go back because of the service and vibe. But I'll maybe try a burger and the cheesecake instead.
