Club sandwich and fries.
Martie L.

I was looking for a sandwich place, and found this one on YELP. I ordered the Club Sandwich to go, and the food certainly didn't disappoint! The portion was more than generous, and the price-$16.95- was incredibly reasonable. The fries were done exactly to my liking, crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The young man who took my order, on the other hand, could not have been less interested in being there. His affect and lack of communication reminded me of my 13 year old son, whose responses consisted of grunts and one word answers. There was a pleasant woman sweeping up, she smiled at me, and when I left she wished me a good day. Definitely go for the food, but don't expect much from the service.

Breakfast Burrito
LoLinda G.

Looking at this small donut shop tucked away in a strip mall, you wouldn't expect them to have great breakfast burritos at first glance. When I walked in around 1pm, it was almost empty, but they're open from 6am-2pm, so I assume most of their traffic is a little earlier in the day. I noticed two of the customers called the lady working behind the counter by her name - it's always good to see places that have earned respect in their community. While I was waiting, one of them told me they've had just about everything on the menu and they love it here! You can choose from a list of different proteins (or even a veggie option), but I ended up getting a sausage breakfast burrito. Not only did it come out quick with friendly customer service, but it was also HUGE!!! It's loaded with cheese, eggs, hashbrowns, and a good amount of meat, too. I was offered a loyalty punch card, and after you order 5 burritos, you get 1 free donut. And after you order 10, you get a free burrito! I will definitely be coming back. Who doesn't love loyalty rewards?!

Surfin' Donuts certainly has the reputation for being one of the best breakfast spots in town for good reason - they simply excel at everything they do. You really can't go wrong with any donut or burrito, as they're absolutely solid. Prices have gone up through time and it's admittedly more expensive than its competitors, but you're getting quality and value. I unfortunately recently had a subpar experience when I ordered a corned beef burrito one breakfast morning. The order took considerably long, and I'll admit they're a bit on the slow side in general when it comes to this, but it was unfortunate that it was nearly thirty minutes before I got my burrito and I was on a time crunch. Again, that's on me. What was disheartening was seeing a number of people who ordered after me get their burritos first, some quite considerably quickly, but I also get that the more standard breakfast orders are probably more prepped to go and can be whipped out much quicker. When I got the burrito, it was so floppy and had no structural integrity, which was disappointing. I normally like it to be a handheld meal, but it ended up being an open-faced breakfast on tortilla, and I didn't have nearly enough salsa to wash it down. It was certainly delicious, but I was pretty soured. I'll be back for sure, but I'll say this wasn't a great experience. TIP: The doughrito is always a fun option, check it out, it's as glorious as you would expect it to be.

Only a few left. Great setup and portions

I've got this place to thank for making me look good for a bday delivery during COVID that turned on a family friend (and my pastor) to this place. He has now referred many people to here for the amazing breakfast burritos (green chile, meat lovers and sausage) and we even had them supply 3 types of burritos and an assortment of donuts for our volunteer meeting today in Irvine near Spectrum. You've just garnered many more new fans!

This is a meat lovers omlette with added steak!

Amazing brekfast omlettes and burritos!!! They even have brekfast quesadillas!!!!! This place has everything!!

Sausage Breakfast Sandwich
Rob G.

Had the sausage breakfast sandwich. I selected the sourdough but got the croissant so maybe they were out of sourdough. Idk. The sandwich was delicious though. I'll def order from here again. Very good!

I was just in there and there was a little wait. Jalisa(not sure how to spell it, sorry!) was very apologetic and made everything right. She was running around so busy, and she still made time to make sure I was happy. Not only was it the best breakfast burrito I've ever had, but the customer service I got from Jalisa was top notch. Thank you Jalisa! Because of you I will be back often. Thank you again Jalisa

Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Croissant Sandwich
Kelsey H.

This was my 2nd time here loved everything.Your welcomed by the warm smiles of the staff and acknowledged. It was a chill vibe and have a tv with tables to eat if eating in. I ordered a bacon,egg, and cheese croissant with 6 donut holes. I took it to go and got my donut holes first then my croissant sandwich came out like 10-15min after. They're busy in the morning so if you don't have too much time order ahead. They're also on door dash as well. Donut holes are fresh like their donuts and the croissant sandwich hit the spot! I will definitely be back to try other food on the menu and their coffee!

Table where a kid sold Asian Trinkets in dining Room. Why?
Peter T.

I'm surprised that this place is still rated as high as it is. Came here on Mother's Day to get a quick breakfast. You can usually tell when a restaurant is on the decline when they start storing kitchen equipment in the dining room. I'm also for teaching kids the entrepreneurial spirit but allowing them to set up a table to sell trinkets in the dining room is so tacky. Compared with a few years ago this place is really run down. At least they changed out the broken chairs and tables. Too bad as the food is pretty good. Seems as most of the other customers also have the same opinion as they all were getting to go items.

Egg, bacon and sausage burrito.
Theresa H.

My breakfast burrito was huge, delicious, tasty!!! Omg! We all ordered burritos and loved them. The green salsa verde was excellent on the side also. They were delivered to the house nice and hot. My daughter had their breakfast sandwich that she loved also. An egg, bacon and cheese! They are nice generous portions too. Great job!!!!!

Bacon Breakfast Burrito
Rob M.

Wow got the Bacon, breakfast burrito good size for the money tortilla is not too thick. The kid that took my order was super nice. Took about 10 minutes to get my food but well worth it. small clean and nice place with tables. did not expect for a donut place to have that size of menu for made it order food. For sure I'm going back.

We got the Hole in the Wall Burger, Spicy chicken sandwich, and brick fries. They do their own custom blend in the burger so it's perfectly and deliciously fatty. The chicken sandwich was juicy and the cut was thick. The fries are cross cut tempura battered, and the brick style includes the mom's special sauce, grilled onions, and cheese. If you look at the menu from years past, you'll see that the price has only changed by $1 in the past 5 or 6 years. It's very impressive that they can keep the prices low so the average joe isn't priced out of a humble burger joint. Much respect to the family that owns this place.

It always hits. What really takes it over the top though is their house sauce, often called the Hole in the Wall sauce. It is next level. Bold, savory, and way more interesting than your standard burger sauce. Do yourself a favor and order an extra side because dipping the fries in it is non negotiable. My mom went with the spicy chicken sandwich and it was great. The spice level is totally manageable, flavorful without being overpowering. If you like a little more heat, grabbing a side of peppers is the move. It adds that extra kick without drowning out the sandwich. On top of the food, this place really shines because of the people. It is family owned and you can feel it. Everyone is genuinely friendly and excited to serve you, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant itself is clean, quiet, and comfortable with good vibes all around. This is one of those reliable spots you keep coming back to because it just does everything right. Highly recommend.

She said that it was a great tasting dish. I had the Chili Verde for the first time. The first bite was a bit off-putting. The meat seemed a bit off. Then I realized that most of the pieces of meat had a large amount of fat on them. I tried to trim off the fat as I ate the meat. The Verde sauce in this dish kind of shimmered from all the fat. There were beans, rice and tortillas accompanying this. The beans and tortillas were good. The rice was just ok. One of the workers was walking by. I asked him to come over and pointed to a large glob of fat on my plate. I told him that my food had lots of fat in it. He did not say anything. My wife then raved about how wonderful her fajitas were. I am not sure if he related my dissatisfaction to anyone but nobody came to our table to talk to me. I was very dissatisfied.

As someone that frequents here quite often this is a disappointment. I've put in a dispute with my bank already but I want to know why you charged me for an order that was never even made. What's crazier is there were two men sitting on the outside portion of the restaurant finishing their food while I could see the employee closing up the kitchen.

Don't get me wrong, TK is still a decent place to get fresh burgers at a relatively good price, but I've just noticed that the execution is not what it used to be. The last couple of times I've visited this location in particular, either the patty was half raw or the sandwich had so much mayo that it wasn't edible. Mind you, I would tell the cashier that I don't want mayo in the burger but I don't think they heard me or put it down like they said they would. I've noticed a decrease in staff size so maybe that's why the quality of the food has dropped, because the workers are just trying to slam out orders--but at the end of the day if it becomes a consistent occurrence (and it has), then I can't always find an excuse to justify the quality drop. The setting of this location is similar to all other TKs that I've been to, a beach-y, ocean-side vibe that's never too over the top. All in all, if the execution of the food hadn't dropped as of late I'd be more than happy to give this place 4 stars at least, but regardless the food is good enough to kick a burger craving!

This isn't your average fast-food patty -- it's the kind of burger that reminds you how great a simple meal can be when it's done right.

The buns are soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together, and the toppings are fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully balanced.
