Amazing food! Lunch! Everything is well prepared. Not basic restaurant style but with good seasoning. The hamburgers/sandwiches and fries are filling... good, hearty portions. Parking is a challenge so we have food delivered most times. read more

Visited Sideburns with my vegan husband and son (a carnivore). We appreciated the ability to order Vegan and non-Vegan in one place so my son wouldn't complain the whole time about how he doesn't like vegan food. I ordered the Vegan Chicago dog. It was decent. I liked it, but there was an aftertaste that just seemed weird to me. My husband ordered the Vegan mushroom and Swiss and said, "Oh, wow" after his first bite, so I'm sure he liked it. We shared an order of Vegan chili cheese fries. They were amazing. The fries were covered in quite possibly the best Vegan chili I've ever had. The carnivore ordered a smash burger and tots. He like the burger. I stole a tot and they were crispy and yummy. The cook and cashier were friendly. There's an attached bar for drinks, but we didn't order any. I could see it being busy after a night of drinking. The only drawback is it's in a sketchy part of Long Beach and parking is a bit hard to find. We took comfort in the fact that we could watch our car from our table. read more

We were going to another local favorite but it was closed to our friend suggested coming here for a great Smashburger, he was absolutely right. My son and I shared the Swiss/Mushroom and the Italian Stallion. Both were good but definitely the Swiss mushroom was much better. My son got the onion rings and I ordered the tots but got fries. Bummer but still good overall. Burgers are so good and it hit the spot. We were allowed to go next door with our burgers and beers to enjoy. This place has some small plastic tables and seats but being allowed to go next door and eat there made it a little more comfortable. The girl that took our order was tending the bar too. She was very nice and the service was good. read more

$11 for the smallest burger ever. Ridiculous. Doesn't even taste good enough to cost that much either. Save your money, go to in n out instead. read more

I came here on my lunch break, and the food and service were amazing. I called for a pickup and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. The girl who took my order was so thoughtful and considerate of my time; she called me back to let me know that the sandwich I ordered would take longer than expected and asked if I wanted to try something else. That alone makes me give them 4 stars--she did not have to go out of her way to call me back after I ordered my food. Dope! It sucks that I didn't get her name for a shoutout. Btw: I order a grilled chicken sandwich and swapped for fried chicken sandwich. read more

Sideburns in Long Beach is a hidden gem. The batter is perfectly crisp and flavorful, and the customer service makes you feel genuinely welcomed. Any burger you order is top tier. Out of the 4 times ive been here. I've never had a bad experience. Everything comes together for a 10/10 experience. Theres a bar next door that u can hit up before, after, or during. But Sideburns is the spot u come for. 1000/10. If u dont agree, then u are the problem. read more

I really wanted to check this place out because they offer grass fed meat patties. I came on a weekday during lunch and got some onion rings with a lettuce wrap burger. My lettuce wrapped burger was pretty good. It wasn't anything too crazy. My onion rings were battered not breaded and came with some house made ranch. I like that the ranch tasted like it had chives in it. But the actual onion rings wasn't my favorite. They were dripping with oil. The person I came with got chili cheese fries which were good. The inside of this place is very casual. The people behind the counter were really nice. It's a good spot if you're looking for grass fed burgers. read more

Always happy to find a place where vegans and omnivores can unite and if you're looking for a burger spot, this is it. Full vegan menu! I was in town visiting and I still think of the burger I had here. And it's hard to find fried pickles let alone, vegan ones! I was happy! You can order / sit in restaurant or attached bar. Good service. Good food. Good spot. read more

Sideburns is serving up all of the burger and sides combos you could dream of. You can dine in or order from the Stache bar next door. Some fried pickles dipped in their jalapeño ranch just hit the spot. I like their Smash Stache Cheeseburger, Mushroom Swiss Burger and Meat n' Potatoes burger. The combos are inventive and packed with flavor. They also serve hot dogs, grilled cheese, chicken sandwiches and a couple of salads. Plenty of breakfast and vegan options round out the menu! It's the perfect spot for a quick, casual meal and even better if you have it with a beer in the bar. read more

I've been craving burgers lately. But not any burger, a SMASH burger. While checking out the menu on Yelp I also noticed this place offers a TON of different sides. Which, in my book, it is illegal just eating a burger without a sidekick The parking is a little tight, it's street parking only and the street does get a lot of traffic. So getting out of the car definitely gave me frogger vibes trying to cross the street without getting ran over. The windows are still cutely decorated for Christmas. The place is small on the inside. But has a good amount of seating still. The walls are lined with old school fast food booths They have a couple menus on the counter which I picked up and glanced over. I already knew what I wanted. A nice worker took my order and then they bring it to your table They do only offer canned beverages but they do have some alcohol choices. I wish they had a soda fountain machine I ordered 2 regular smash burgers and on one I added a small side of onion rings (I believe it was only 3 dollars to add a small side of onion rings, fries or tots to your burger / sandwich) The poutine Cheese curds Fried pickles And two canned sodas. The total came to 61 dollars. Which people might complain about. But seriously people? It's 2024, you can't even order that much at McDonald's for that price. So calm down. The guy who took our order was fast and answered all my questions. they have cool burger / hotdog paintings all over the walls (also had music playing) LOVE LOVE LOVE the fried cheese curds!!!! I stand by this, these were the best cheese curds I've had. Most of the time I can only eat a couple. I could have had two whole orders of these. They were not too heavy or greasy at all. Perfect amount of cheese and loved it paired with their ranch (ranch here is amazing and definitely tastes homemade) All the food was so well seasoned!!! I wouldn't have recommended the fried pickles. It should be regular dill chips. These were sweet bread and butter ones. 0 stars for them. HOWEVER!!! Dustin, Came out and saved the day!! He asked how we liked the food and we told him how amazing it was. Except next time can we get the pickles made with dill ones instead? He said of course! And he went ahead and remade them for us. So they went above and beyond!!! (Dustin kept coming to the table and asking how we loved everything and talked about the food / sauces) Dustin even brought out a sample of his homemade Tabasco sauce to try which was AMAZING! Way better than the bottled kind! He said it's not on the menu but you can always ask for it. So if you're a hot sauce lover i recommend. Annnnd another bonus - they have pretty good vegan options on the menu so nobody is left out. I will 10000 percent be back in person and order take out / Uber eats from here. This place is part of a full bar next door called - The stache. You can order great cocktails there and food from this kitchen. (Check out the Yelp page for the stache. Cocktails look great) read more

We will be back, one of the best burgers I've had. Everything on it was spot on, great bun, delicious sauces. My son got a beef sandwich that was so flavorful, tender and not dry at all. Hands down though the vegan chili cheeses fries were the thing I know I'll be craving soon. read more

Great late night food in long beach. They had a vegan section and it was soooo good! We had the smash burger I think and one with mushrooms, we had chili cheese fries and tater tots everything was so good. Friendly staff,great music playing, cool graphics on the wall. Small but clean place. Parking isnt the greatest but not impossible either read more

My boyfriend introduced me to Sideburns recently and it's quickly become one of my favorite burger spots! Sideburns is nothing fancy, but it's a great place to come for a quick casual bite. The inside has fun paintings on the walls and each table has flowers on it. The employees have always been friendly and the food has been served quickly. I highly recommend the Italian Stallion burger. It doesn't have traditional burger toppings and instead has burrata cheese, sun-dried tomato pesto mayo, grilled tomato, and arugula giving it a very unique taste compared to your average burger. The Works burger is also quite delicious, but has a more traditional taste to it. Only downside of Sideburns to be aware of, is that they charge extra if you want any extra sauces such as ranch. I'm super happy Sideburns is such a short walk from my boyfriend's apartment because for a burger connoisseur like myself, it truly is quite the hidden gem full of yummy food. read more

Wow. So good. First time ordering here. Pick up. 5 out of 5 on EVERYTHING. The whole order was done correctly with all the add ons and removals and requests on the side. Very rare. Nothing was greasy or soggy. Very well seasoned. Normally, I don't write reviews but this place definitely deserves it. My bf said staff were very friendly and welcoming. Ordered swiss burger plus fries, charbroiled bbq burger plus hot tots. Crispy onion rings. Delish. Thank you! read more

Had a little time in LB so decided to look for lunch, specifically a burger AND onion rings. Sideburns was not far from my previous destination so plotted a course for it. Place is small but very clean. Decent sized menu but decided to order the classic smash burger with rings. Burger is a good size and well cooked. Cheese and sauce embellish it...but in my opinion the classic needs another element. Some tomato or sliced onion. I could have asked I suppose. Onion rings were perfect - tempura style and not heavy. Comes with a ranch based dipping sauce. Sideburns was also very accommodating of my dog, even when he spilled the bowl of water they brought him. A+ read more

Sideburns - Smash burger plus onion rings - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

Such a fantastic hole-in-the-wall spot for the late night burger cravings! I got the Smash Stache burger and the Backyard BBQ burger. Both burgers were straightforward and well done. I also got an order of their fries and onion rings. These onion rings are some no-joke, beer-battered crispy and delicious bites. Honestly, I'm so happy to have found this spot walking distance from all of the local bars, because it's the perfect late night burger spot after some drinks. They have booths and really fun mural art everywhere. They're open until midnight most nights and until 1AM on Friday's and Saturday's. Parking is a little tough in this area, but I recommend ridesharing to the bars and walking here right afterwards. Check it out! read more

Not great. Gave them 3 chances since it's one of the only places open late after I get off work. Sideburns is directly connected to the bar next door and I believe sells food at the bar too. The food might taste good when drinking, but not so great when sober. I've tried a couple of the burger options, chicken wings, and fries. The food doesn't taste great in terms of quality. The burger patty tasted a little off and funky. Order of fries didn't have a single grain of salt on it. Burgers that I ordered with bacon was forgotten. Wish I could recommend this spot, but I've spent my last dollar here. The food quality doesn't warrant any more chances. read more

Food 5/5 My favorite burger joint. The Mushroom Swiss is my favorite. They have a decent size menu with variety options but I think you shouldn't stray too far from their smash burger. They make their own ranch as well that goes great with the fries. Service 5/5 Their standalone restaurant is connected to their bar so sometimes you'll have to wait for the cashier to come back to take your order as they are also bartending in the room nearby, I believe. But the chef rings the bell once they see that your ready to order. Small dine-in set up, what you would expect from a casual burger spot. Staff friendly. Notes Located on 4th street right by a McDonalds. There's a street along the side of the restaurant but it's a very compact residential. So parking might be hard to find and your parallel parking skills have to be on point. read more

Food was amazing, service was fast and friendly! Loved the place! Would eat there again. The tater tots were amazing as well

Came here with a friend after craving smash burgers. I got the smash burger and added 3 extra patties. The burger itself was okay they weren't really smashed and were more big/beefy then anything. Okay flavor the cheese was sharp and could've used more of their house sauce. I personally didn't enjoy the poutine after ordering it being hungry from the burger. Very salty and gets soggy quick. Beware that prices are high since it is in the downtown Long Beach area so come prepared. Street parking Thanks again read more

Service was fairly quick and friendly. Ambiance is a small cozy hole in the wall. You'll need to go thru a bar next door to use a bathroom. Food was okay. Burgers were big n beefy, and tasty. Could probably use more sauce. read more

The dive bar of burgers that actually has a dive bar attached to it! I had lunch here and decided to have a drink while I was at it at the bar n connected to the restaurant as they also serve the full menu. I got the hulk burger and man was that a perfect name for this burger because it was massive! I also got some chili cheese fries which were also good. The staff there were cool and friendly and provided some good recommendations. If you're into dive bars and enjoy burgers, come here for a one of a kind burger and some drinks while you're at it. read more

Just tried Sideburns the other day while visiting a friend in Long Beach. It's a small spot with maybe around 5 tables. I love the fun paintings on the wall (wish I got a picture). The food was pretty good, but it didn't blow me away. They do have every option you can think of - they even have a whole vegan section on their menu which was pretty cool. Their ranch dressing was interesting too - I think it was dill ranch. We also tried buffalo pickled eggs which was new and fun to try. Sadly some of the burgers were just ok - and severely greasy. It's a nice spot to try, but for me it's not going to be a favorite. Last thing, for the service - there was only 1 person working up front and she was hustling. I give her massive props because it was the busy lunch hour and she made sure everyone got waters and food in a timely manner. read more

Looking for great finds like this. I can't say enough that my buttermilk fried chicken sandwich was "melt In your mouth" yummie!! Homemade ranch is soo amazing I want a jar of it. The onion rings were light and delish. My boyfriends burger wasn't made right- but they offered him another one next time we go back- so we'll add to this then. And poutine- one of his favorite things-- huge serving and delish cheese and gravy. We almost didn't go due to construction on the street and parking. But very glad we did and will be going back. That chicken sandwich was the bomb. ( I'm so glad I customized it- and didn't get it as on menu- bc the sauce was spicy) thanks sideburns. Well be back read more

We ordered burgers for delivery because we had a few things going on. They were clearly cooked fresh because they arrived warm, smashed perfectly with crispy edges. Will definitely make sure to go in person next time! read more

Arrived, already knowing I *had to have* those beer-battered onion rings!! (Friday, end of the week, great way to celebrate a little before the weekend. ) But the order started off slightly askew...then got a bit worse! Ultimately, we wanted a buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with a side of tater tots (well-done/crispy!); garlic chicken wings; a starter of beer-battered onion rings; and 2 cans of Diet Coke. Found out that the order was entered as a "side of tots" (+$3) and a "side of onion rings" (+$3)...but that would have cheated me out of my Friday indulgence. So I had to get my $3 refunded, then charged for an appetizer/full-size of onion rings ($7.50). I also realized I hadn't asked for the tots to be well-done/crispy, so emphasized that point. 15-20 mins later, I found out that the Garlic Chicken Wings were "lemon-pepper" with a *little garlic* [not much of any!]--and only 6 anemic-looking wings were delivered. They were crispy, of varying sizes, but not worth $2/wing! The lemon-pepper sauce was strong-handed on the lemon, light on the pepper and garlic. Overall, they were mid, even compared to Wing Stop or Buffalo Wild Wings. The onion rings were the stars--so lightly battered that they seemed like tempura. Clean, crispy, onions perfectly cooked (still with a slight bite, but cooked through). And to e jalapeño ranch that accompanied them was delicious! The tots were not as crispy as expected...more pillowy and slightly mushy in the middle. About 2 more minutes in the fryer would have done these babies wonders. The buttermilk fried chicken sandwich was an UNwelcome surprise. This place has a grilled chicken AND a Nashville hot chicken sammie too...but I didn't want to be that good, or that bad, tonight. I assumed (wrongly) that the Buttermilk fried chicken would be mayo, lettuce, maybe tomato, and a perfectly fried buttermilk chicken breast piece. Well, instead it had spicy pickle chips, a spicy pickle relish, minimal shave lettuce, and no tomato or mayo. Upon biting into it, it was crispy and battered well, but spicier than I really wanted. When I looked more carefully at the menu, I noticed the spicy notes added to this menu item. *grrr* Both times (onion side vs. full order & fried chicken vs. "spicy" option), you would have thought the employee taking my order would have notified me, clarified the menu, and double-checked that what he input was what I actually wanted. Overall the food was better than expected. The onion rings sang! The customer service/employees were hard to communicate clearly with (and they didn't seem to go out of their way to ensure I got what I really wanted). The environment of the restaurant is LOUD with a long bar speaker right behind the cash registers. So I had to tell my order to the worker...and he couldn't always hear me clearly (probably another reason for the menu mixup?). The small booths 5 "4-tops" and 1 "2-top" and the overall decor was just diner-average. Clean-ish, but not fine dining. Don't expect AC here...just ceiling fans. The price was more than I expected to spend (~$40) for the quantity and quality of the food. Probably better for "take out"...but make sure you know their menu, you ask questions, and you tell them what you want and how you want it. Otherwise, you'll be short-changed and find out the "meal" is more of a snack, for the price of a full meal! read more

Absolutely loved the food. I had the blue cheese burger with the strawberry onion jelly and it was amazing. Fries were fresh and crispy. On the other hand the location is not great. Parking is not great. We took an Uber. But the mapping took us down one of the 1ways and the neighbors didn't really want to move out of the way for the car. So there is that. The food and service was wonderful. read more

Delicious ranch. Made from scratch, with fresh dill and chives. Like nothing I've ever tasted, and I'm craving it now. Fantastic for dipping the hot crispy fries The service was great, and the ambiance was chill. Nothing fancy, just a focus on good food. :) They said they get a lot of traffic from visitors off of Yelp, so I figured I'd add my 2¢. Just the fries and homemade ranch dressing make this place worthy of a visit! The only issue I had was that my smashburger patty was dry and overcooked. Everything else was fantastic. We don't have Mela Water where I live. I wish I'd bought extras for the road. Yummy and refreshing! read more

Finally! A real smash burger in Long Beach Tbh... I could give this place five stars on the tots alone. Napoleon Dynamite would definitely put these in his pocket to save for later.

Sideburns is living in the future. Not only does this hole-in-the-wall make delicious food, but they also do it until 1am. I'll admit, my food standards are at an all time low after a late night and a couple drinks. So I was pleasantly surprised when we stumbled upon Sideburns at midnight. This concept is 50% cocktail bar (The Stache) and 50% burger joint (Sideburns). Sideburns has a pretty extensive menu that features a variety of burgers, tots, poutine, and an impressive number of vegan options for late night bites. I ordered the vegan 'The Works' burger, and a side of poutine. The Works includes a Beyond Patty, vegan cheese, beer battered portobello mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, and carmelized onions. I don't normally enjoy Beyond Patties, but Sideburns cooks and seasons theirs perfectly. The burger was so flavorful and juicy. I wish I ordered a second. The poutine was decent, but the fries were instantly soggy, so I'd recommend the tots instead. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in LBC. read more

I had Sudeburns for the first time last night. It was really delicuous. The fries were nice and crispy and the burger was packed with flavor. I ordered for delivery so I can't tell about the ambience or service but I will re-review for that update! read more

Victor, Noel, and Ethan were awesome don't mistake this small place. The meat was perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The crispy onion rings added the perfect crunch and a touch of sweetness that took the whole thing to the next level. Everything was fresh, the bun held up great, and the balance of flavors was spot on. Easily one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Highly recommend! read more

Didn't feel gross after eating which can often be the case with burgers for me so to me that shows great quality ingredients. I will absolutely be coming back! read more
