I looooooove this place! The burgers and fries are famously the best in down. However, few know about their tri-tip burritos. Hands down it is my favorite burrito of the last few years. Always consistently tasty, kind staff, and keeping the beach vibes present. Limited seating, but every bite is worth it! I often get mine to go and stroll to the beach or grass strip park for a picnic. read more

The service was great but expect a wait for the food if you don't order ahead! The owner greeted us and brought the food to us outside - very friendly. The people working here were all family and that gave this a great vibe. There are a few picnic benches outside but many people pick up and go. You can order ahead so you don't have to wait around. We will be back to try the breakfast burritos. Convenient location if you are visiting Sunset Beach. read more

Found this spot on yelp as I was passing through the neighborhood so I decided to stop... I was not disappointed! As soon as I rolled up somebody was offering me a sample of their Agua Fresca which turned out to be one of the best I've ever had.. There were several things on the menu that I wanted to try but I chose the vegan burger as that's what had been on my mind when I was searching Yelp. It was the standard Impossible patty on a nice brioche with their "pocket" sauce that hits like a teriyaki, will definitely be getting an extra side of the sauce next time. The garlic fries were the best I've had to date, that was a nice surprise! read more

*** Extra $0.75 fee for using credit card *** Pocket Burger Shack is a small hole-in-a-wall & husband/wife owned burger shack and was ranked #82 on the Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat for 2015. They also recently received Visit Huntington Beach's first annual Foodie Awards in 2025 - winning "Best Family Friendly Restaurant" and "The Best Burger in Huntington Beach" (Sunset Beach is an incorporated part of Huntington Beach). Their burgers are made from Wagyu mixed beef patties, preservative-free potato brioche buns, and housemade "Pocket" sauce. [Parking]: It is almost impossible for visitors to find free public parking here on busy weekends. All parking spots on N Pacific Ave were all taken. However, visitors can park right in front Sunset Beach USPS just a block away, but for no more than 10 minutes max. [Amenities]: No public restroom. Three outdoor tables with tents. [Menu]: Going by Yelp's top recommendations they would be Tri-tip Burger and Breakfast Burrito. Their Breakfast Burrito is served all day with one protein options (chorizo, sausage, bacon, ham, spam, or soyrizo) and one potato option (house potatoes, tater tots, or French fries). I ask the cashier and he only suggested house potatoes and said your "typical' options like bacon or ham. *** Breakfast Burrito (three eggs, cheese, sour cream, onions, bell peppers, and pico de gallo wrapped in a flour tortilla - bacon, mild aka green sauce, house potatoes, no beans - $14.00): Talk about one HUGE portion - it was enough for two people to share. If a burger with no patty (just onions and bell peppers + replace patties with bacon) ever has a baby with breakfast burrito, then this is what it would look like. Personally this burrito could have slightly more bacon and less burrito. Green salsa was good as it had a little bit of heat. *** In hindsight I probably should've pick tater tots instead of house potatoes for better texture. While this breakfast burrito was a little bit different that what I normally have, overall this shack still makes some pretty solid breakfast burrito. read more

Still one of the best burgers around! It's been a while since I stopped at Pocket Burger, but after a late morning surf I was driving by and saw that parking and seating were available, so I and had to stop. This level of burger is a real treat. It's better than most burgers at a sit down restaurant. I need to come more often! read more

This was our second visit to Pocket Burger as we are not often on this stretch of PCH, but unlike Sade said, it was as good as the first time. Last time I got the tri-tip burger which was a huge but delicious and juicy burger, and garlic fries which left me full and satisfied for the rest of the day. Today I got the pocket burger, and fries come with it but we uncharged for the garlic fries which disappoint, and got a side of onion rings too. Remembering the portion sizes, my husband and I decided to split all this instead of getting a second burger. The onion rings were hot and crunchy, so fresh and tasted house made. The garlic fries are also crunchy, hot and delicious but topped with a heavy minced garlic topping. I love garlic so this was right up my alley. The showstopper was the burger, yes sides are great and I'm glad we tried the onion rings this time, but that burger was fire . The sauce, the flavor, the fresh egg and veggies! It was a true masterpiece. Their sign doesn't lie, they truly do have the best burgers in town. FYI - this is a local, family owned business with very nice people running the restaurant. The only seating is outdoors at picnic tables. Most folks seem to get their food to go as seating is limited. We went for lunch around 1:00 - 1:30pm on a Tuesday and had no issues getting a seat. Last time we came on a weekend and almost did not get a table. read more

Pocket Burger Shack - Onion rings, garlic fries and a pocket burger - Burgers Near Me - Sunset Beach, California

We took a bike ride to Sunset Beach and happened across this place. Sure glad we did, it was delicious! Ordered the Pocket Burger and BBQ Burger with onion rings. There is a reason why they received a 2025 Foodie Award for Best Burger. Outstanding flavor and taste! The owners Lori and Daniel have put their heart and soul into this establishment and it shows. They are also some on the nicest people you will meet. The restaurant has a small counter inside and several shaded tables in front. It has the classic Mom and Pop burger feel. Parking in front is limited, but there is ample spots in the back. If you are craving a savory and perfectly crafted burger, look no further! read more

Pocket Burger Shack - Aloha Burger Tri-tip Burger - Burgers Near Me - Sunset Beach, California

A little bit disappointing to be honest. It took a good amount of time, roughly 30 minutes. We ordered the pocket burger with tator tots. The burger was filled with tons of toppings, and was incredibly big. However, the meat is the main thing in a burger and although it was wagyu meat, it lacked flavor and it was the other ingredients that you tasted. For being wagyu meat I expected more flavor. I visited this place because it was voted best burger in hb, but I think riip is much better personally. read more

The most delicious, crispy, freshly made onion rings. You know when you take a bite of shitty diner onion rings and the onion slips out like cheap panties and a dollar store wh-. Well this isn't that. The onion rings were crafted by the gods behind the counters. The burger constructed from the grill to the ceiling with an egg, large patty, lettuce tomato and onion. So large you can hardly get it in one bite. This place is a local favorite for a reason. Fighting demons to look for parking is worth it when this is the reward. 10/10 read more

Enjoying the area while visiting kiddos for the holiday. It was a lazy morning at Bolsa Chica RV Park and decided to grab a quick breakfast. I got a breakfast sandwich: plain bagel with ham, scrambled egg and tots. You definitely get quite a bit for $8 but really wasn't a fan. The bagel was fresh and nicely toasted but had a lot of butter or mayo. The ham was tasty but the egg was not my favorite. It appeared to be cooked in a microwave and was undercooked for my liking. The tots were plenty and good. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and eat the bagel and ham separately. All in all the sandwich was acceptable. Service was quick and personable. The establishment was clean and welcoming. The food was nicely packed with napkin and condiments. A plus in my book! So, if you want a quick bite to eat on the way to/fro the beach, stop on it but before 3 when they close. read more

Most wonderfully friendly, considerate, family owned business I've ever been to. Incredible food every bite is as good as the first and somehow gets even better. The owners come and check in on you very often asking for anything you need and truly care how your experience is, they even remembered my name coming all the way from Utah. Incredibly generous with portions, flavor that keeps you coming back and hospitality that feels like a warm hug every time. Try them out for the best burgers! read more

Phenomenal little spot right next to the beach, a little hard to get to if you're driving in traffic, but DAMN is this spot worth it. The tri tip burger was like a rush of endorphins as soon as my lips bit into that soft brioche bun, and my God the tri tip was flavorful. I will be keeping this spot close to the chest and coming here whenever I'm in town. Omg you will not be disappointed at all, the staff here are incredibly friendly as well, they have a ton of different items, drinks etc and the patio is nice and relaxing. Highly recommend everything about this little gem! THANK YOU!! read more

Found this place when looking for a vegetarian meal. We ordered the impossible burger and the potato tacos. The food was excellent and had large portions by my standards. The taco sauce was very, very good! They also have the crunchy fries which I love. I also love that it's a cute little burger place and has outdoor seating. We didn't have our dogs with us but they had a large water bowl out which I appreciated. Service was friendly and guy at the register was very nice, showing us what we can order as non meat eaters. read more

Pocket Burger Shack - Took the food to go and eat at the beach. Breakfast burritos - Burgers Near Me - Sunset Beach, California

Ordered a breakfast burrito from here and wow this was an all around 5 star breakfast burrito. Apparently they have 7 different types of chorizo and I ordered the spicy chorizo with tater tots and the flavors in this burrito were insane! Delicious chorizo, lots of cheese, tortilla was perfect and the salsas were actually spicy. I did say no beans in the burrito which I'm very glad I did because if there were beans in it I think it would be too sloppy. Would 100% come back here for a quality breakfast burrito at a pretty decent price for the size of it. read more

This last year Pocket Burger really helped me in my recovery. I had a health issue and dropped a significant amount of weight and had to get back eating protein and gaining weight. They were the perfect solution eating tri tip burgers and Kobe burgers. I ordered DoorDash delivery from them a few times a week. It would be enough for the entire day. All the ingredients are very fresh and well made. I especially love their pocket sauce. My favorite burger is the Sunset Beach burger. The delivery would be at my house fairly quick. Most time around 20 min. It helped because I was unable to drive. Love that they're open now I think on Monday but maybe that was just for the summer. Nothing beats high quality and delicious food from them! read more

Did I just have the best burger of my life?? This is the question you must ask yourself after eating at Pocket Burger!! This burger hit me unexpectedly. I was out for a morning stroll and came across Pocket Burger. Being early I got a breakfast burrito and a Burger. Both were amazing and presentation matched the taste!! This has definitely taken a solidified spot on my Mount Rushmore of Burgers!! Thank you!! read more

This little place has awesome burgers and extra awesome wonderfully crispy fries. Garlic fries are loaded with garlic. I always get the Impossible patty which is cooked perfectly (other places often overcook them). Also, they have delicious lemonades and drinks made from scratch. Tried a strawberry shake today. Sooo creamy. Tastes like it is made with real strawberries?!? Outdoor seating with umbrellas. Across from a place you can rent paddle boards and kayaks on one side and a nice stretch of beach on the other side. Owner is friendly and accommodating. Come try this little gem and give them your business! You won't be sorry. read more

A pocket full of sunshine in Huntington Beach. Pocket Burger is a hidden gem! This small, hole-in-the-wall spot serves up some of the best burgers and fries in the city. I recently stopped by after a nearby paddle boarding adventure and was absolutely ravenous. I ordered their salmon burger, which tasted fresh, juicy, with the perfect amount of toppings. I also ordered a side of their crispy, perfectly-fried, fries. These were honestly the best fries I've had in years. This business sits on PCH, just steps away from the ocean. There's a small number of patio seats available, but it's well worth it to take your meal to go and enjoy it on the sand. The only downside is the parking, which can be a bit tricky, but the meal is well worth the effort. read more

I finally stopped by Pocket Burger Shack to try their breakfast and lunch - boy, I was disappointed in myself that I hadn't tried them sooner; the food is so delicious and fresh, with even a little bit of a spicy kick to it, too! The first time I tried Pocket Burger Shack was with my best friend. We were lured in to Pocket Shack as we drove by PCH and saw their breakfast burritos sign - we knew it was a sign and that we just had to stop and try their breakfast burritos! We both ordered a breakfast burrito and also split the chilaquiles to try them together. The service was very fast - our order was ready within 10 minutes and the owner, Daniel filled us in on his journey with Pocket Burger Shack! I absolutely loved the spices in the breakfast burrito and chilaquiles, I couldn't wait to come back for lunch! Daniel told us that his manager makes the salsa Verde from scratch - what a gem of a find in Sunset! I absolutely love everything about this beach shack - from the friendly service, to the fresh food, and of course I love that it's a short walk to actually enjoy your meal on the sand. So after my breakfast adventure here, I had to come back and order lunch to go for my mom and I. Just as before, the experience was so friendly and seamless. I loved walking into pocket shack to pick up my order, with a nice breeze from the sand and tables full of happy customers. This time we ordered the pocket burger, grilled chicken salad and the kids chicken tender meal. I tried their regular fries and garlic fries - both were hot, crispy, fresh and the garlic was freshly grated and there was plenty of it on my garlic fries! The pocket burger was amazingly seasoned, while the chicken salad was HUGE with fresh chopped crispy veggies and the chicken tenders were fresh and crispy. I've loved all my food adventures at Pocket Burger Shack and I'm looking forward to my next meal here. So far my favorites are their: Pocket Burger, garlic fries, chilaquiles, breakfast burrito and chicken tenders. Don't make the mistake of driving past this hole in the wall awesome shack for so long like I did! A pocket burger with garlic fries and on the sand can be life changing so read more

Small shop but very efficient. Plenty of food for price. The Cali burrito was huge! Awesome place to hit after visiting Sunset beach or checking out the shops in the area. Love this place.

I was bike riding around the area and decided to stop here for lunch. There's a few bike racks outside and picnic tables where you can eat. I ordered the Aloha burger, the grilled pineapple sold me yummmmm. And garlic fries on the side- literally SO GOOD. there were two women working. One at the counter and the other cooking. These burgers are juicy and delicious, loaded with fresh vegetables. The fries were also perfect. It was pretty busy around 2pm on a Thursday. I will be coming back for sure !!! read more

This is a very small shack in Sunset Beach. I was worried about parking since it's such a small shack, but there's actually a residence area with a small parking lot in the back. There was a bunch of spots open but maybe that's because we were there at around 9:10am. Both my brother and I got their signature Pocket Burger and paid extra to upgrade them both to garlic fries. Our total bill came out to $37.38 (includes tax). Even though we were the only ones there, it took them a long time to make our order. Thus, I imagine that this is a busy place where people just make to go orders for pick up. There is no indoor seating so we ate at one of the benches outside. I wish they cleaned up the benches as they were somewhat dirty. The pocket burgers comes with their special sauce, 1/3 lb beef, mayo, avocado, fried egg, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, and provolone cheese. It was definitely very tasty. The garlic fries were above average quality. read more

The best part of Pocket burger shack was the Service, I met one of the Owners she was fantastic. She explained the menu with care and patience. This place truly is "A POCKET-SHACK" and it's got a really warm vibe about the staff. they are efficient and they are fast with your order. (AS fast as heat can cook the food) Your meal is made to order. And if u are bold enough U may want to ask for a sample of their HORCHATA (better than uve ever had) or their "Agua fresca" cold and refreshing.. I had their Signature burger and fries combo. But I will get something else next time. I also look forward to a Breakfast Burrito there. I believe they are open 7 days a week. But don't Quote me. Great Lil place to grab some reasonable chow. read more
