Wow! One of the best burger places I've ever been to - and probably my favorite in Long Beach! While the outside is unassuming and the inside looks very casual, the burgers here really impressed me. Totally worth the price. There are so many options on the menu and you can't go wrong with any of them. They are all so flavorful with excellent combinations of ingredients and the burger patties are juicy and delicious. I came here with a group of 7 during lunch on a Friday. The man who took my order was very cool and gave me a good recommendation when I was stuck between two items to order. The chef was pretty quick considering the large group of orders. We waited maybe 10-15 mins for our food. Everyone was happy with their meal! Would HIGHLY recommend trying this place if you're looking for a good burger in LB. read more

Wow ! Great food!!! We were hungry and not much was open so we decided to come here. So happy we sis!! Exceptional burgers, fries and onion rings. The best we've had in a long time. How did we not know about Sideburns?? Definitely will be back very soon ! read more

This is a small hole in the wall spot in LB attached to Stache Bar. From the outside it doesn't seem like much, but that's when I had a feeling it was going to be good. The staff gets a bit distracted since they take care of the bar next door, but I didn't wait long for my food and they're all very nice. Plus I had a beer there while I waited for my food. The smash burger was fantastic. Juicy meat and delicious sauce with soft bread. Very simple yet effective. I just went for the basic burger this time but there is so much on the menu I'll have to come back and try. The tots were pretty straightforward. Overall one of my favorite burgers in Long Beach. read more

Sideburns - Smashburger and tots - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

We all love a good burger, now let's talk about a decent one. My random desire to smash a burger today led me to grab one. Those are the events that brought me to Sideburns, by the way, I laughed a little harder than I should have at the name. According to their Instagram, the hours are 12-6pm. My order was a simple burger and fries. I chose the Smashburger, which came with cheese, onions, and 1000 Island dressing. I removed the onions and added lettuce and extra pickles. Adding extra pickles took this burger from a 6 to a 10. They could have added more dressing but that's beside the point. My choice of the burger was exactly what I needed, and I'm glad I ended up with it. It had a delicious crispy texture on the edges as well as a juicy middle, and the bun was soft but sturdy. A tasty burger was created with this combination. Now I know where I can get lunchtime burgers. There is a small mom-and-pop feel to the interior. My only wish is that they had more drink options than beer and Yale. I was heading home, so it wasn't a big deal. There was no air conditioning, so if you plan to eat inside, make sure it's a cool day. If the fries were cooked a little longer, they would not have tasted like mashed potatoes instead of fries. I'm not sure how to explain it, but you get what I mean. There is no doubt that I will return to this place again. read more

Just left .... I was eating my food & saw a rat run across the ledge right under the menu. I initially thought I drank too much & was seeing things until I seen it a second time and realized it was indeed a RAT .... RUNNING UNDER THE MENU ! read more

Found the place off Yelp. Placed a phone order and the gentleman who took the order was friendly and informative. Finding parking was not easy around the busy boulevard but got lucky to park out front just to pick up the order. Overall, the portion was decent. The amount of chili cheese fries was a lot also. The cost of food was fair and not overly priced. I liked that they had plant-based options. The food was okay though. Not overly excited about it. Maybe presentation would have been better dining in--but the food wasn't as flavorful as it seemed on the photos. It could use more flavor. It was sort of bland, needs more seasoning? It gets tiring after awhile.. I would probably come back and try them again. They were however nice and friendly. read more

Burger Lover here , this place hits the spot everytime . Been here at least 5 times. Brought my brothers a couple of times. Good for the munchies. Solid service , cool ambiance. Only way to elevate the burger would be with some sambal , chili oil or whole jalapeños as sides. They're doing good work here ‍ read more

I saw someone post about this place, the picture looked pretty good and after doing more research, pictures from their Yelp page looked pretty good. AMBIANCE: Parking: Street parking (generally 2 hr limit), it can get pretty busy so good luck. Seating: Inside the seating room for maybe about 20 people and 6 groups. Feels: On the oh-so-famous 4th Street but more on the local side but not too far away to get to the beach. It's a grit and grind area in a pretty diverse spot filled with a Jamaican store, Ramen spot, and vegan restaurant. The spot itself is nothing flashy but has some personality. They're definitely Dodger fans (Go Giants), there's a tv assuming for big games, and the spot is decorated with its quirky, playful, art of burgers and fries. FOOD: The Works Burger (Recommend) Delicious taste and pleasant presentation. The bun was puffed and well glazed, the patty was grilled, charred, and juicy, and the pleasant compliments of cheese, onions, cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, and fried portabello mushrooms were a delight. I don't think I ever had cucumbers in a burger but it was pretty good - fulfilling, refreshing, and a nice crisp. The fries complemented the burger well. I enjoyed the hot, savory, crispness of each fry. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Straight business with personality and professionalism. TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Reasonable prices, great selections, and delicious food. There are a lot o burger places. It is hard to rank them but this is a quality-tier burger spot worth trying. There are more selections I'm tempted to try like their chicken sando. I look forward to coming back here. TIPS: * Check out their specials! * Attachment to The Stache (15 years) bar... mustache and sideburns...nice. read more

Why 4 stars? Because this was some loud, but excellent late-night eating. --- --- --- I was in Long Beach for one night for work, but mission #2 was to see local celebrity, Alex L and his better half for a post-work-event dinner. He asked me if I would be interested in a dive bar that makes really good burgers, and I think I set the all-time record for speediest "Yes" reply in the history of iPhone technology. And as it turns out, my Carl Lewis-esque yes was incredibly warranted, as this dive bar burger was everything I'd ever want in such a meal. It was a tad on the spicy side, but I'd order it again 10/10 times. The only reason for 4-stars instead of 5 is that they were playing music at decibels that were so loud, it almost seemed like we were being pranked. As I looked around, I saw several other patrons, all attempting to have conversations with each other, and just wondered why in the world the music had to be at concert-volume levels. I get it, it's a bar. But it's not a club, even though you wouldn't know it if you had your eyes closed. But the burger was so good. I'd absolutely go back again, just not when trying to have a long overdue catchup with someone. read more

My husband was craving a burger, and I was craving wings, so we stopped by this spot, and it did not disappoint! The place was packed--no indoor seating available and a constant stream of people coming in for orders, which was a good sign. I'll admit I was a bit nervous pulling up, thinking I ended up on the wrong side of town, but once inside, I felt right at home, like a local. Everything was delicious, and I was more than happy to spend my money here! read more

Came here for late night snack. This is one of the place that was opened. Parking was a bit rough due to road construction and street parking only. We ordered a chilicheese fries and smashburger. The burger was very oily. The oil was dripping when I picked it up. The chilicheese fries had beans in the chili, which was a bit different when compare to traditional chilicheese fries. The taste of the fries and burger was decent. Might not be back again if there are other late night food options. read more

My boyfriend was craving burgers and I was craving onion rings, so after a quick search, I landed on this place for dinner. First, the non-food stuff: Parking seems a little insane in that area, but we were lucky enough to find parking right across the street. The interior of the restaurant was fun, with whimsical cartoon burgers and foods on the wall. The burgers are pretty reasonably priced as were the sides. We got out of their with two sides/appetizers and two burgers for about $35. The cheese curds were phenomenal and by far, the best thing we tried. I mean, how can you go wrong with deep fried cheese? The ranch that accompanied them was also top-notch. We also ordered onion rings, which were really good, but not quite what I was craving. They were fancier than what I was expecting somehow - I guess I was wanting traditional onion rings that you get from old-school burger places and these were very lightly battered, almost tempura style. I was really excited to try the burgers. Extra star for creativity and whimsey. My boyfriend got the smash cristo burger and I got the Italian stallion. Unfortunately, both burgers were a little disappointing. The smash cristo was wild - if you've ever had a monte cristo at Disneyland, then you know what's up. It's basically a deep fried burger patty, battered, and deep fried, then drizzled with powdered sugar and berry sauce. It wasn't bad, but I don't think the burger "fillings" were seasoned enough to compete with the fried batter and sauce. The Italian stallion burger came with burrata and pesto. Again, this was good, but the burger itself was pretty bland and needed a heap more salt. Definitely would go back for the cheese curds and maybe to try the chicken sandwiches. read more

My girlfriend and I were very excited to try this place. As soon as we walked in the vibe was a little off due to the ambience but we still went ahead and ordered because we trusted the ratings. While waiting, we noticed TWO RATS running across the ledge. When I went to ask for a refund I then noticed the kitchen staff cooking with NO GLOVES and the back door open. Very disappointing, did not want to take the risk. read more

Summary: The food is worth the money if you're willing to pay for it. I recommend you order to-go as opposed to dining in. I also recommend you place your order ahead of time so you don't have to wait quite a while. I recommend everyone try's this place at least once! I will be coming back in the future. Pros: -Food: I ordered the bbq burger & chili cheese fries and was not disappointed. The burger is one of the best that I've had in a long time. Not only was the actual content of the burger delicious and juicy but that sauce they had in there was too good. The burger also didn't collapse in my hands as I bit into it so that's always a plus. The chili cheese fries stood out with the more old school traditional chili they use (none of that cheap melted cheese they use at other places) -The service: We were greeted by a friendly staff member at the front. He gave us a quick run down of how the ordering system works and told us what he recommends based on his favorites & what others usually order. -The drink selection: They have all their drinks available in a fridge so you literally get to decide what you want in the most simplest way. They had a great selection in beers and a few basic options in soda so take that as you will. Me personally, I like the simple approach. Cons: -The wait: My order took 30mins to be made (a burger plus chili cheese fries). I think a reason that is was because the restaurant was making tons of food for an advertisement they were filming at another table so maybe that was why it took so long. Either way, it was worth mentioning. -The Dine-in experience: The inside of the restaurant is no more than 7 or 8 tables. Each fits around 4 people. You would assume that means the place is at a nice room temperature right? Wrong. While we waited for our food it was getting too warm inside. Again, I don't know if it was because they were cooking tons of food in the back for their advertisement that they were making, but it is definitely worth noting since Air Conditioning would've made the experience so much better. Worth noting: -Parking: Hopefully you get lucky finding a spot on the street -The price: I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for. I dropped $30 for a burger, chili cheese fries, and a can of soda. It's worth the money but not for those that are craving a burger without breaking the bank. -Tipping: They'll ask you on the tablet if you want to leave a tip after you purchase your food. It's worth noting since tipping is a controversial discussion as of late. read more

It was fine. Smash burger was ok. The poutine was the surprise and very enjoyable. I will try the vegan fish 'n chips next time.

Relatively easy street parking and intimate setting. Service was quick and friendly! The poutine was also amazing. Perfect combination of crunchy and cheesy read more

Interesting vegan menu ! So far the fish n chips entree was delicious it's made with mushrooms. The vinegar and tartar sauces are necessary for dipping ! Their popular vegan hot dog had an diff take on taste, it could be sauerkraut. All too delicious. It's a nice treat to try. However parking is horrible. It may take some roundabouts. Their seating is limited to like 2 small parties indoor. I might have missed this but I think there's seating outside. They're also connected with a bar next door where there's outside seating, care for a beer ? read more

A bit hard to find parking. The restaurant had really cool artwork inside. Ryan was really informative, fun and gave great service. The burgers were juicy and had the perfect amount of salt. The buns were soft and buttery. The fries are like in&out fries but on steroids. We ordered the Italian Stallion and the Mushroom Swiss. Definitely coming back read more

I guess it was just me that the Smashburger was super dry. Burger, dry. Bun, drier. A dollop of thousand island in the middle of burger gave me a momentary reprieve. Onion rings were unique and good. Light and crispy. One guy working the register and one guy in the kitchen. Don't expect speedy service. It was okay. Felt I didn't get the value for my $$. read more

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

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.

Had a craving for a good burger. Decided to head down to 4th street and check this place out. I was Not Disappointed. I ordered The Hulk (3 Pattie's 3 cheeses) and man was it delicious! The bun on this burger was so soft and the meat was so fresh. To top it off, I received my food at the bar "The Stacie" which is next door. Nice little dive bar, great drinks, and surprisingly fantastic food! Hulk Smash Burger read more

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.

I...LOVE their food! Omg!!! So the first time I've tried their food was during a birthday event at The Stache next door, last year! We ordered at the bar: - the cheese curds (addicting but must share, they're dangerous for those trying to keep a figure! lol!) - the tater tots (so crispy, so yummy!) I always wanted to come back to The Stache and found out their food is available late! Yessss! So I came back to The Stache a week or so ago, even though it was raining because I didn't want to be at home since I was kid-free! I sat at the bar, talked to a nice couple, ordered a beer and some garlic lemon pepper wings and the must-have cheese curds! Omg!!! The wings were so good that my friend who came to meet up with me ate HALF of my wings! ‍ Lol! Anyway, I came back ANOTHER time a few days ago with a guy friend and he bought us a late lunch after a looong walk with his pup. We were starving! This time, we came in here and found out they were owned by the same owners! Cool! I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger (so much to choose from!) and added bacon with a Modelo to drink! Mmmm!!! So good! And the tots! So crispy!!! Omg! My friend ordered The works burger with fries & a couple beers! I have to try all the burgers but it's definitely filling! I had to save the rest of mine for later! lol! Definitely coming back! REALLY GOOD FOOD! Thanks guys! 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

This place would be easy to miss if you're not careful. Parking is anywhere you can find it but it is absolutely worth it. Ordered smash burger and the Don Chendo. Absolutely delicious! It's small inside but you can find a seat for a quick bite. Our server was super chill and friendly. read more

I feel silly that I ignored this place for so long - I'd been following The Stache since pre-covid, so when I saw they'd opened a restaurant next door, given the timing (right when the covid lockdowns started requiring bars to serve food in order to serve to-go cocktails or beer), it seemed (incorrectly) clear they'd only opened a "restaurant" to satisfy that requirement, like I'd seen other bars do around that time. So while I knew they were selling super-cheap burgers and hot dogs through quarantine, I completely missed that this actually was a legitimate burger spot in its own right. Thankfully, I started hearing more and more buzz about it, and finally got around to checking it out a few weeks ago... now I have a new life goal: try every burger on their menu (they all look amazing!) So yeah. Since the first time I was here, about a month ago, I've been back three times, to try three of their burgers so far. Though I say I've been "here" - technically I've never actually stepped foot *in* Sideburns, I'm always at The Stache - since their beer and cocktails are always solid, so that's still *half* the draw, having great beverage options to go with it. Same building, though, just two entrances. (You can sit at the bar, and order food items and beverages on the same check.) So far, I've tried the "The Works" (with fried mushrooms), the "Don Chendo" (with salsa and cilantro, and served on a jalepeño-cheddar bun), and just this weekend, was back to try the "Backyard Barbeque" (with bbq sauce, chipotle mayo, and one HUGE onion ring). All three of them were equally great in their own way - and these days, $10 is a pretty great price for such inventive, high quality, and importantly, *huge* burgers. I also love that you can add a half-order of fries for only $2, which I've never not done - their half order is a pretty substantial amount of fries for one person, and their fries are quality too. (Especially now that I noticed, the most recent time, that some of their starters come with jalapeno ranch - which you can, and definitely should, ask for a side of with said fries. Delicious!) I can't speak to service if it's busy, though - I've always gotten my order in basically *exactly* as long as it would take to properly cook a burger (seriously, it's been consistently super quick), but I've also only ever been there for lunch (I definitely get the impression it gets a lot busier later in the day.) 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

My friend has been recommending that I try Sideburns for more than a year, and FINALLY I did and I wasn't disappointed!

I love that they're open late (midnight) and will definitely be back! read more
