My friend has been recommending that I try Sideburns for more than a year, and FINALLY I did and I wasn't disappointed! I got the smash burger which was FIRE and they have tons of creative, unique and delicious sauces. A really kind man helped us out and gave us a ton of the sauces to try. THE FRIES were also amazing. I love that they're open late (midnight) and will definitely be back! read more

Hard to give it a 5 because of the chicken wings and it just wasn't good. The vegetables saved me haha and I had some bites of my boyfriend's mushroom burger. He absolutely loved it. I wanna come back and try the burgers. Everyone in my group got burgers and they all loved it. The buns are incredibly SOFT. I had chipotle wings and it wasn't good at all. A lot of sauce for my liking. Burgers are 10/10! Its right next to a bar so its perfect food for drunk ppl, or sober ppl! Onion rings were also 8/10. The funnel rings are crazy HOT, 2/10. We didn't finish it because it was just too hot for some people. read more

Great burger and wings and poutine. I'll be going back after I got up a show at Alex's. Late hours which is great.

The food and services was amazing. The chef made us an extra batch of onion rings. And the vegan sauce was delicious!

Hidden gem. Super consistent and high quality. One of the best places in long beach for a late night.

Yum. The beef sandwich was great. Would try other items on the menu. Parking is a pain and neighborhood is iffy but worth the quick bite.

Great burgers and service, we will be back. Nice spot and they also have their bar next door with a good beer selection. read more

Only thing I'd have to say is if you are getting a single patty, I'd recommend the double. Pretty thin so a double makes up for the bun to meat ratio. Taste was great. Service was good. The overall ambiance inside could have been a little better but that's super minor. Overall, I'd definitely go back if close by. read more

Amazing burger and great price. I got the Meat and Potatoes burger with fries. Do recommend

I've had a few burgers, the fried chicken sandwich, fries, and onion rings The $10 burgers surpass my expectations. While they aren't perfect, they are very very good and you don't have to spend $15+ to find out. (My burger had blue cheese, bacon, an egg, a brioche bun and who knew arugula would be so good on a burger. Perhaps I'll try a double patty next time because the meat is thin. Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich was equally as good and actually is a good portion. French fries are plentiful, the right cut, and just crispy enough. The battered onion rings were very good, not great. A little greasy, but better than fast food read more

Why do they call it a smash burger ITS A GROSS FROZEN PRE MADE PATTY !!! That is not a smash burger ... Very disappointing.. Wedge salad completely over priced for what it it ... Will not be going back !!! FROZEN COSTCO PATTIES NO THANKS read more

Cute little space-- they sell alcohol bottles & my friend got a tequila bottle for cheap! We ordered food to go-- I got the chicken sandwich, she got a mushroom Swiss burger, and we shared fries. The chicken sandwich was definitely CRISPY, which I appreciated, but the chicken was so thin. Some bites were just crispyness (batter) and bread. The fries were solid, though my friend mentioned that they kind of taste like fried chicken (not necessarily a bad thing, but just something to note). It might be the manner in which they fry, or it could be the seasoning... not entirely sure! They also sell different types of beers in a fridge. I think cans range from $3-$5! I got this cute one for my partner who hates IPA's but loved Kobe! read more

Absolutely amazing burger!! My friend and I were looking for a good burger in Long Beach. Sideburns had some great reviews so we gave it a shot. Parking is a bit difficult (street parking only) but the burger makes up for that. My friend ordered "The Works Burger" with onion rings and I ordered the "Hulk Smash" with fries. Both burgers and sides were delivered to the table piping hot. The onion rings had an amazing crunch to them and the fries had the perfect amount of salt in them. The burgers were next level... the works had a deep fried mushroom that also had an awesome crunch. The Hulk was huge but amazing as well. The service was excellent and the staff were super friendly. They have another business, The Stache is a pub which is right next door. I will definitely be back to Sideburns and will need to try the Stache in the near future! read more

Great food and fast service. Great burger but I think the stand out for me was the poutine fries. Awesome gravy with the cheese curds and good seasoning on the fries. Also have a pretty decent selection of cold ones to enjoy. read more

Sideburns - Regular smash w/poutine fries. - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

Love Sideburns! Bomb Smash Burger never disappoints! Ttar tots and a Root Beer. Happy

Highly recommend Sideburns for your burger jones. I'm not a big burger eater...anymore, but I get a hankering every now and again for a greasy juicy thick sloppy burger. Now, that's not the description of the burgers at Sideburns, that's my hankering. So the fam and I went searching for a burger joint. Our son (40 yr old Ju Jitsu World Champ-on the real- in his weight class) picked this place sight unseen. Never been there before and neither have I. When we pulled up, I immediately had second thoughts, but as soon as we walked inside, the apprehension quickly dripped away. This place LOOKED perfect! Smelled perfect! And, when I saw the manager...I knew it was perfect! A friend of almost 25 years, who I haven't seen or heard from in about 3 years came into the seating area to greet the family. not recognizing me at first, but I recognized him and said his name...the look of bewilderment on his face was priceless. We smiled hugged and shook hands. I introduced him to my.... I'm sorry, I'm suppose to be telling you about the burgers. The menu wasn't complex or long. I mean how much can you do to a burger in a burger joint??? Simple and comprehensive. What really grabbed my attention was the vegan burger choice. Hhhmmm? Now, I came to get a cow Pattie, and no diss to my Vegan Bros & Sis' but vegan wasn't on my taste buds that day. Full disclosure, I alternate and truly hope one day my fuel intake will be more veggie based. The hankering became stronger so I ordered a double cow Pattie with cheese - Sorry Bro, but I have forgotten the name of the particular burger that I had intentions on wolfing down. Instead, I thoroughly bit and slowly chewed this tender, juicy, cheesy masterpiece, the chefs perfectly grilled. Ooohhh, the flavor.... I'm sorry, gotta go got another hankering.... See you there!!! read more

Probably the best burger I ever had and not just because it was delivered late at night. Tater tots were crisp and not greasy. Can't wait to try more from this place when I'm in town. read more

Growing up in Chicagoland, then living most of our adult life in Wisconsin, my wife and I have been looking for a good Italian Beef sandwich in the Los Angeles area for the past five years. Luckily, Portillos delivers on that, but we think we found a far closer alternative..and we weren't even looking! Sideburns serves poutine, and appeared on my Yelp feed, so we went specifically for that. (I think a lot of things taste just better with brown gravy which is why I love loco-moco so much). The restaurant is so close (located just east of DTLB), but is continuing to be a wet/rainy New Years Eve, so took the car. Parking is a bit of a headache, non-metered street parking that allows overnight so pretty full all the time even though the area was pretty dead...just need to keep looking. You order and pay upfront, and then sit. They will bring the food to you, and then you self-bus. There are a few fast-food type booths. I didn't see any fountain drinks, but there were bottles of Mexican coke and Jarritos in a side refrigerator. We might have been the first customers of the day (they open at 12 and we arrived around 12:40). The plan was to order a Chicago dog and a 'The Works' burger and some poutine, but noticed a handwritten sign advertising a Chicago-style Italian beef sandwich, so had to try that instead of the burger. The manager on duty was super friendly, and struck up a conversation as he delivered the food (as well as coming back once we were finishing to get what we thought of the meal). He told us the owner really likes midwestern type food, which is why there are things like Chicago dog, Italian beef, beer brats, and cheese curds on the menu. He was super proud of their burgers (which aligns with the reviews here). One of the things I noticed about the menu is how many of the items (except for the burgers) didn't really have complementary items...it's not like you can use the hot dogs for the Chicago dog for other non-hot dog dishes, or use the italian beef for something else. And some of the midwestern specific items are probably hard to source in an affordable manner. Thus some compromises needed to be made. Italian Beef (Off menu special: $12) - It used a bolillio shaped brioche bread, nicely toasted (different than the Torano italian bread found in Chicago). The beef and gravy tasted exactly as expected (thinking it was already sourced prepared and just reheated)...beef was super thin, and a generous amount of giardiniera topped it. It was a good, satisfying sandwich. Chicago Dog ($9) - Had all the necessary ingredients down to the neon green relish and celery salt. It did use the same bolillio bread (instead of a poppy seed), and a Nathan all-beef (instead of Vienna). It was definitely dragged through the garden, and delicious (filled me up). Poutine ($10) - This came out a bit early, right after it had been expertly prepared. It used a generous amount of fresh Wisconsin cheese curds (not the frozen battered deep fried that I've seen others use). Thus, the hot gravy melted the cheese flat, and made it so melty and stringey. The fries were deep fried perfectly, just before it was assembled. It was the perfect amount for the two of us, and we scarfed it down with forks (too messy for fingers and MUST be eaten soon after it is prepared...not good for delivery I would guess). Definitely in the category of 'must-tell-others' right away. We love how Sideburns serves midwestern food and how it is prepared with a lot of care (instead of just slapping it together), and will need to try their cheeseburger, brats, and deep-fried cheese curds next time. Now if Sideburns or Stache could think about serving Chicago Tavern Thin crust pizza... read more

Terrible vegan food. Did not enjoy the "smash burger" The patty was the worst part, and does not deserve the tittle smash burger read more

Kinda taste bad. Also is overpriced. I ordered the smash burger which wasn't even a smash burger lol. If you wanna use the restroom go next store to their other business which is a bar that smells like weed throw up and alcohol . Just the employee lady was good test was bad here. read more

Super friendly and accommodating and nice selection for vegetarians looking for a good burger and chili fries. The music was good and small if it got busy but you can take it to go. read more

This place is so munchalicious!! I got the mushroom swiss smashburger and flavors meshed perfectly together. The hulk smashburger comes with three patties and bacon and it was so delish. The caramelized onions were really good too! The workers are super nice and welcoming, and they're not stingy with the sauces. The spot has nice vibes and catchy music! Would definitely recommend. read more

Sideburns - Mushroom swiss smashburger, hulk smashburger - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

Today I ordered my usual Swiss mushroom burger with a side of fries. I asked for extra aioli sauce cause it's fire. So I took a couple of bites and it was a little dry so I opened the burger and found a NOSE HAIR in the cheese. I was wondering why he put a side of the aioli when I clearly told the cook I wanted it on the burger not on the side. By the way the cook came around to the front to take my order because the waitress was busy next door making some cocktails. Sad because I really liked their burgers a lot but I won't be eating there anymore. I don't know what the cook had against me ??? But pretty obvious nose hair placed nice and neat on my cheeseburger EWWWW.... if I get a sore stomach today I'll know why. F for the cook at Sideburns today. read more

Still pissed about my disgusting plastic burger! Not once has anyone reached out to me to make things right so I will continue bashing them both online and to anyone who has ears! They're lucky I didn't take a photo & report them to the health department! Biggest mistake! read more

Ordered the vegan smash burger, onion rings, and vegan dipping sauce. The burger was crisp, well seasoned, and saucy. Just how I like it! The onion rings were battered and fried to perfection. And the vegan dipping sauce was delish! I'll be back!! read more

Great Customer Service n Amazing Burgers !Will definitely be back .The place is also clean and presentable.

Yelp pictures and reviews made me go. But man was I disappointed. The poutine fries were so soggy. It looks big and amazing on the picture but got a bootleg version, small portion and little gravy and cheese. 2/5 And the onion rings tasted so good but instantly got heartburn after eating 5 minutes. What oil do you guys use? It was so heavy on oil. 2/5 As much as I wanted to love it, I left quite underwhelmed. read more

Sideburns is my neighborhood burger spot. I love that they have a full vegan menu alongside their meat menu. I can grab my vegan food and also bring my omnivore friends here. They're also open pretty late for this area of the city which is great! read more

I appreciate the service I've received & the burgers I've ate have been phenomenal. The chefs I've met have been Thomas & Sam & they have given a full respectful service. They have a 9.5 out of 10 for me. Order everything off the board & lmk what you think. read more

I legit don't go to other burger places because this one is so close and also SO GOOD. Good on them for making the vegan options nearly the same price as regular options. (It used to be the same but inflation I assume) I almost always get the vegan works burger with tots. The tots are legit some of the best I've ever had. How do they get them so crispy?? Service is always very accommodating. I received the wrong meal once for pick up and they remade my order in record time! Plus I got to keep the wrong meal. As far as ambience goes it's very chill and casual. Legit my favorite burger place in LB! read more

Had the mushroom/swiss smash burger. My only criticism is I walk in with three employees walking around and no one recognized me until the bartender next door came in to take my order. If the bar gets busy they need someone to take the orders in the restaurant. The burger was really very good and I will go back. read more

BOMB.COM Love sideburns Smash burger!!! It is my new fave burger, and I am thankful they are open late!!!!!! read more

Everything here is amazing. I've had about half the items on the menu to date, and the only single gripe I have is that they only serve bread and butter pickles, even on the Nashville chicken. It should absolutely be dill, in my opinion. At least have the option. Other than that this place is amazing. Good luck finding parking on the street though. read more

Sideburns - Backyard BBQ burger, half order of ties and an arugula salad - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

Ordered sideburns through Ubereats for my boyfriend and I. It was pretty filling and delicious. I ordered the hulk smash burger for my boyfriend and I had the works burger. The hulk smash was a complete surprise, it had 3 Pattie's! We were not prepared for that. It was pretty bomb. The works burger was also equally delicious with the fried Portobello mushroom burger. . My only complaint is about the pickles in the burger. They weren't pickled enough and tasted like cucumber and I hate that. Thank god i had pickles in my fridge to put in my burger; this made it so much better! I love pickles in my burger. The fries were meh as were the onion rings that came with the burger. The onion rings needed more breading. Since the fries were meh, you can imagine that the chili cheese fries were not up to our standards. I would come here again but just order the burgers. read more
