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. Y'all just earned a customer for life.

Hole in the Wall Burger in Lake Forest is one of those spots that just never misses. The burger is…read morejuicy, packed with flavor, and tastes like everything was prepped fresh and with intention. 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.

My wife had steak fajitas. They were still sizzling after they were delivered to our table. Rice, beans, toppings, tortillas and a huge platter of steak and grilled veggies. So much food. 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.

You guys not only charged me, but the order shows as "picked up" Please ask your employees why they closed the restaurant around 2:15 pm on May 5th. The website (not a food delivery or pickup service, the actual sessions website) allowed the order to be taken, took my money, yet I got no food. 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. I asked through the closed front door what would happen to my order and your employee said because it wasn't actually made that by the end of the night I wouldn't be charged. I indeed did get charged $24 for a sandwich and fries that I never received, I hope you guys make this right.

My mind is blown reading how many people have given this place 4 stars…read more I wanted to like it here so much. I've always been curious about the food and told my husband it must be good if it's next to In N Out and it's been here for so many years. Today we finally decided to give it a try and honestly were very disappointed. We both got cheeseburgers and an order of half fries half onion rings. The ingredients in the burger look fresh but tasted very underwhelming with a very thin patty, way too much Mayo and overall pretty tasteless. The fries and onions rings were so hard my husband spit them out. They looked like they had been refried several times before reaching our table. Sadly, we won't be returning here. I'm giving 2 stars and not one because the person who took our order was kind and the food came out quickly but perhaps maybe too quickly as it had been sitting there to be reheated.

I've been here a few times and I'm not gonna lie the food quality was better a couple years back…read morethan recent visits. 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!

From…read morethe first bite, you can tell every ingredient is chosen with care and every burger is crafted with real skill. 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 patties are perfectly seasoned and cooked just how you like them -- juicy and flavorful with that ideal char on the outside. The buns are soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together, and the toppings are fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully balanced. Whether it's melted cheese, crisp lettuce, caramelized onions, or tangy house sauce, each component adds something delicious without overpowering the rest. What really makes this place special is consistency and attention to detail. Every visit delivers the same high quality -- hot food, friendly staff, and fast service. The sides are great too -- the fries are crispy and golden, and their milkshakes are rich, creamy perfection. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for anything from a quick lunch to a relaxed dinner with friends. It's the kind of local favorite that you want to brag about to everyone you know.

Mine was wonderful! The peri peri sauce was awesome! I think I want that on EVERYTHING! The boys tried it and wished that sauce was on the fire fries instead. They didn't care for fire sauce - tasted like buffalo chicken sauce to them. My husband thought his sandwich was ok. It was greasy, and he was hoping he had some BBQ sauce with it. Being our first time there, he didn't realize that he could ask for a side of sauce. Burgers were average for my boys. One said he would come back if he wanted something different than In-n-Out. The other said he would return only if friends invited him here or if there was another fundraiser. My third son said he would return and had a decent experience. Overall, we would return and try something different. It may not be our first choice, but we're not opposed to returning.
