I would like to start off by disagreeing with all of the one star reviews. The chicken was amazing. The SUR cheese burger too. Fries are good as well. Great service. Good does come out at a reasonable time and in order. No one who ordered after me got there food before me. Workers respond quickly with any requests. Clean place. Nice low music. Games going . Nice bar area. Came all the way down from Orange County. Would most definitely recommend and would come back myself ! Great restaurant. read more

Sur Burger food is great although the service is a little haphazard. Probably need someone to advise them. We had a great dinner and I especially love their fries. read more

8.9/10 Ordered the Works Burger, Copeland Mushroom Burger, and the Grilled Chicken Salad. Overall, the burgers and salad were satisfying, and the restaurant had a great casual burger-joint vibe. Starting with the Works Burger, which was the highlight of the meal. The patty was juicy and well-seasoned, and the combination of avocado, bacon, and sauce added a lot of flavor. Everything worked well together and made the burger feel indulgent. That said, it could have used more mushrooms, and it leaned a bit too heavy on the sauce. The bun was also a little soft, if it had been toasted or slightly charred, it would have held up better to the sauce and added a nice texture and flavor contrast. Next was the Copeland Mushroom Burger. This one had a juicy patty topped with mushrooms and grilled onions. The amount of mushrooms was good, and the cheese paired really nicely with the toppings. The grilled onions were a nice touch and didn't overpower the burger at all. While it was solid and enjoyable, it didn't feel particularly unique, more like a burger you could recreate at home. Similar to the Works Burger, it was a bit too saucy and could have benefited from a toasted or charred bun for more structure and flavor. The Grilled Chicken Salad was excellent. It came with generous portions of grilled chicken and bacon, plus half an avocado. Everything tasted fresh, and it felt like a healthy, well-balanced option. No complaints here, definitely a great choice if you're looking for a lighter dish. Service was fast and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was nice. It definitely has that classic burger-joint feel. Overall, a solid spot with good food and a good vibe. read more

Located in Old Monterey. I ordered the Number One with raw onions. The burger was fresh and flavorful, with a juicy patty cooked just right. The cheese was melted perfectly and the raw onions gave it a crisp bite that balanced out the richness of the beef. The bun was soft but held everything together without getting messy. It had that classic diner-style taste but with a little extra attention to freshness. Service was quick and the staff was friendly. The spot itself has a casual, relaxed feel, good for a quick lunch or an easy dinner. Portion size was filling without being over the top. Solid burger spot in Monterey. Highly recommend. read more

I was able to walk to this restaurant from my hotel. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich as it seemed like the lightest option. The food arrived fresh and hot, but lacked seasoning so it was bland and the chicken was very dry. They had good service but the fountain drinks had a strange flavor and the beverage station was out of lids, straws and napkins. If I went back again, I would order something different and make sure I had sauces and seasonings to go. read more

Sur Burger - Grilled chicken combo $17.98 - Burgers Near Me - Monterey, California

Probably not the perfect time to get a burger during Monterey Car Week but I couldn't pass up on food before bed. I got the big kahuna burger. Now this burger is a common menu item but when I read that it included jalapeño peppers I couldn't pass it up. Not only did the peppers add some flare to the overall flavor of the burger, but there was something uniquely different in this burger than all other kahuna burgers I've had. The wait was over 1/2hr but fortunately my hotel was directly across the street. The restaurant itself was packed and still room to sit at the bar while I waited for my order. It turns out the it's a family owed business started by Cambodians who moved to the area a very long time ago. So maybe there's some native seasonings they're using but it was delicious and a very big burger. I was good at eating half but finished the whole thing because I was so damn good. Great atmosphere. read more

Service was good and a kind server but the food is not good. The soda was flat (Coke Zero) and the mushroom burger and fried chicken didn't have much flavor. The chicken was super tough and the ranch is was watery. Fries are good though. read more

We walked in and were seated right away. The restaurant was nice and clean. There was a soda machine and tea machine. The bathroom needed help because there wasn't any toilet paper or seat covers. The food was great! My son had the fried chicken burger which he ate the entire thing! He said it was really good. My daughter ordered the grilled cheese and I like how it was on wheat bread. She really liked the fries too. I had a cheeseburger but protein style, so no bread just lettuce wrapped. It was really good. The atmosphere was cool and chill. They had tvs on the wall, and bills from all over the world that the kids were fascinated with. read more

Good variety on the menu. Sur ring of fire ( cod fish sandwich) is good. Avoid the chili cheese dog. It is drowning with cheese and chili sauce. Combo comes with fries and refillable soft drinks. Fries substitute cost extra and it can adds up. Service- Server takes your order, give you cup to fill up your drinks, brought you food and checks. read more

Burgers are amazing and service is really good! Love the homemade sauce they put in the burgers.

Okay I know this is a burger place but I got the salmon salad and it was delicious! Way way better than I expected from a burger place for sure. It was cooked perfectly and had such a good flavor plus it was huge! I also liked that they make some of their own dressings! I got the homemade thousand island and ate all of it. read more

I came here with a co-worker for lunch during a work trip. We both really enjoyed our burgers. The staff was friendly and the food was made very quickly. The fries were cooked perfectly which was great but they had no salt on them at all. I didn't want to be annoying and ask for salt so I just ate them. Overall I recommend coming here if you're looking for a good burger. read more

Satisfying giant burgers and fries (also grilled wings which are great!). Multiple proteins available and fries, rings and other sides multiple ways. Order at the stand then wait for your order to arrive at your table. Indoor or outdoor seating is first come first served. Large groups could be difficult to seat. It's not a cheap burger, so patience on them getting it right. read more

This place was surprisingly good. My friends and I stumbled upon this place while visiting Monterey. We weren't in the mood for fish or Italian so this was where we agreed. I got the sur spicy burger and subbed it out for impossible meat! It was soooooooo yummy! Super spicy but i like a kick. The slaw on the burger was fresh and the spicy sauce was yummy. My friends got the Taro Crunch Roll and the classic burger and both had great things to say. Fries were by far the best. They were crispy (not soggy) and just had a great texture and crunch to it. I'd recommend this place to people in town or even visiting. read more

Sur Burger - S2. Sur Spicy Combo - with impossible patty - Burgers Near Me - Monterey, California

I came to the restaurant to order a togo order and the the person taking my order was extremely nice. I thought the combo was a great deal but we didn't want the drinks so she offered to just order the burgers with a large fries. After ordering at the counter, I was given a number and to wait for them to bring me my order. The food was extremely delicious! My partner loved both the Sur Chicken burger and the Kahuna burger. He said the Sur chicken was like McD but way better. He also loved how flavorful the Kahuna was. I found the Kahuna burger a bit too spicy for me but I also can't handle spices that well. The fries were extremely crispy and they gave us plenty of ketchup. My boyfriend enjoyed his food so much that he wanted to come back again! read more

Sur Burger - Crispy Fries (Large) Sur Chicken (9) The Big Kahuna (S1) - Burgers Near Me - Monterey, California

We were asked to wait for 20 to 25 mins, but it took more than 45 mins for food to arrive! Burger was very bad, chicken was not at all grilled, it was as good as raw piece of meat, I was not able to bite it! Very disappointed with the food quality! Others in my group ordered Phoenix burger, it was tasteless with just so much red chillies. We also ordered fries for the table, which did not come even after 1 hour eventually we had to cancel it because we were already done with the food & drinks by that time! We complained about the food and the staff was not very receptive of the feedback & did not even apologised or said no comforting words, which was very rude! Overall a bad experience for us! Would not recommend it if you are a good chicken burger/ chicken sandwich fan! read more

We had just finished running in our Spartan Race and were on the way to clean up at the hotel in Monterey when my boyfriend said he was craving a burger. I already knew I wanted to stop by Revival Ice Cream so I was praying for a decently rated burger spot within walking distance. Lo and behold, Sur Burger pops up on my map. After reading a review that said something along the lines of best burger I've ever had and realizing that it was only a few blocks away from our location at the time, it was easy to make the stop. Much appreciation to the staff for welcoming us in like regular customers despite the fact that we probably looked super disheveled, dusty, and sweaty. I think my boyfriend got the #6 The WORKS and I got the #2 SUR Cheeseburger and we both replaced our fries with salads. The drink selection wasn't my favorite but I ended up getting a mix of the different iced teas. I will say though that the side salad absolutely hit the spot for me! I really needed something refreshing and light and that salad with blue cheese dressing hit the spot for me in the same way that the burger did for my boyfriend. As far as the burger itself, it was definitely tasty. Brioche buns are not personally my favorite as I prefer my burgers to be heavier on the veggies and usually with lettuce buns, but if you like brioche buns you'll definitely appreciate this burger more. I wouldn't say this was the best burger that I've ever had, but if you're particular about your burgers in the same way that they do them here you'll definitely find this spot to be a gem. read more

Sur Burger - #2 SUR Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Monterey, California

A very interesting taste for a chicken sandwich. The spice was definitely brought as they used a sauce similar tasting to nouc Cham a Vietnamese spicy sauce mixed with some aioli on the burger. I loved the heat that was brought but I felt that flavor clashed with the bun and the fried chicken, might've been better in a sandwich setting with a sandwich breach and grilled chicken. The amount of food for the price though was amazing. The combo is a great idea we got fries and you can easily upgrade them too. There is a decent amount of seating inside but it was packed when we came so we had to wait for a while. The ambiance is pretty good for a standard burger place though. Once we got seated we waited quite a while for our food to come maybe 30 minutes or more. read more

Honestly idk how this place has a 4 star rating they honestly aren't even all that literally tastes like frozen food that's deep fried a place that's so close to the ocean doesn't serve fresh calamari ? They literally brought me calamari to the table that looked like frozen fish sticks so disappointing I knew it was a sign to not order food when we were in line and someone came in complaining for a remake on a burger they had ordered don't recommend unless you wanna regret spending money on disappointing food never going again I wish I could give it less than 1 star read more

We were happy to find this restaurant open on Thanksgiving and found the food to be rather good. Service was attentive and they were very dog friendly outside, bringing water bowls to every dog that sat here. This review primarily centers are on the french fries, which are fantastic. Probably the best french fries and Monterey. You would be remiss if you wanted french fries and didn't get them here. They're quite tasty. read more

The hamburgers that they are supposed to be so famous for are greasy and not high-quality meat. The bacon burger I had last night I could've done better at Burger King. At least they are flame broiled there not Sur. read more

I can't believe this place get good reviews. My son and I just had some of the most below mid burgers ever! What they call grilled onions are barely warm. The medium cooked patty are cold and they drown the burger with sauce that can cover up the fact that the patty is bland. Probably one of the worst burgers I've had outside of amusement park food. read more

Ordered takeout at the restaurant and it was ready in less than 10 minutes. I was intrigued by their spicy fried fish sandwich (Ring of Fire). The sandwich was big with two pieces of fried fish, slaw and phoenix sauce. I really enjoyed it. The fish was crunchy and thick. The phoenix sauce was sweet but definitely spicy . Would go back again for this! The side of fries was a bit plain. read more

Went to Sur Burger very excited to try the Spicy sur and grab some chicken fingers for my daughter. The chicken fingers were chewy and tasteless. She took one but and that was all. The burgers were dry and also needed more seasoning. The only shining star was the mozzarella sticks! Nice staff, but food was not worth the $$ spent. read more

Heard good things about this place and was finally able to try couple days ago during my Monterey trip. I actually went twice, within a 2 day period. A nice restaurant with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Service is great, they bring the food to where ever you are. Prices are steep, but exactly what you expect. I tried the Sur Bacon and the Sur Copeland Mushroom. Both were really solid burgers, I did prefer the regular burger over the mushroom one. Regular fries have great texture and solid flavor, maybe needs a little more salt. The garlic fries are pretty good too. They have a good selection of soda from their freestyle, and everything else is self-serve, ketchup, straws, salt pepper, etc. Good place! read more

Had a grilled chicken salad. While it started with a big helping of fresh greens, the small piece of chicken had been way overcooked and was very dry. The balsamic dressing came on the side and wasn't enough. The single strip of bacon that was tossed in for flavor was very, very dry and also inadequate. On the side was a small, sliced avocado that deserved better friends. Next time, I'll give up trying to eat healthy and try a burger. read more

I came here on a Friday night by myself. There was NO ONE in the restaurant, so I was pretty nervous about dining here, thinking it wasn't a good choice. I was seated and served very quickly. I asked for an 805, and my server let me know that the 805 was low, and it would taste bitter. I appreciated that he let me know, so I asked him what the next light beer was. He recommended a pineapple flavored beer. I was skeptical about it at first, but I trusted him and ordered it. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries as well. Food and beer came out pretty quickly. The pineapple beer paired very well with my meal. They gave me a heap of fries. The burger was pretty standard and got the job done. I cleared my meal with ease and felt super satisfied afterward. I stuck around a bit and saw that the restaurant became quite busy with Doordash and to-go orders. The ambiance of this Sur Burger is clean in the dining area. The bathroom could use a little love, though. Toilet paper and paper towels were littered all over the floor. Quite messy looking. Anyway, if you find yourself craving a fresh burger, fries, and crisp beer, Sur Burger is the place for you! read more
