$8 LOL

Nahh Volcano bull$$$$ portion for $8 zuccini fries. Not cool yall... 9/25, evening shift, yall gotta do better.

My husband and I visited this establishment on a recommendation from a coworker. They don't quite have an indoor eating area, it's open ended if that makes sense. The dining area was a bit crowded, but we were able to get a table near the exit so it wasn't too bad and we had a nice breeze coming through. We stopped by at around 12:15 pm and it was starting to get crowded. We agreed that the food was a solid 4 out of 5. The patty was good, but we did feel that the burgers had wayyyyyy too much lettuce. I also wish that the contents of the burger were listed somewhere. My burger had red onion and I'm not a fan of it, as I prefer grilled onions.

Anytime we bring up going to the City of Los Alamitos, the first recommendation from any of our neighbors is always volcano burgers. Not until recently have we had a chance to go and actually try it and man, were they right! Yes, it is your standard local burger joint but everything we ordered was delicious and cooked to perfection. The corn dog and fries were extra crispy, and the hamburger tasted so freaking good. Every layer went together perfectly. My only complaint would be that the seating outside and the high chairs may not be that clean, but that's not unexpected. we are definitely adding this to our favorites list and will be coming back.

Came here on a tueaday around 11:30 no wait to order. Parking on the side and some seating on the patio. Ordered a hamburger with grilled onion. It tasted okay the onion was semi grilled and the patty was alright. There is no combo order so everything is separate. The separate fries were okay not salty nor seasoned. The fountain coke was good tho. All in all good for a one time try.

Jr Cheeseburger cut in half, fries and a coke!

If I could add more stars to this place, there is no doubt I would!!! We have always had amazing experiences with thee best burgers AND fries! Today, Thursday 10/1 the gentleman working the counter around 3pm ish was exceptional! Very kind worker! I didn't get his name and neither did my husband but I have not one complaint about this place. My biggest thing is shredded lettuce on my burger and Volcano is that! I've had their chili cheese fries and I would most definitely order it again!!! Cheeseburger is amazing!!! I don't think there's one bad thing on the menu!! Outstanding burger joint and I love the bench seating outside! Thank you Volcano for always being so consistent with superb service and food!!!

I'm not completely sure about this burger joint. There is normally a crazy huge drive thru line. Normally our order is to go, So we decided to eat here instead and parked on the street. The kid taking our order was super polite and read the order back to confirm that it was correct. The seating area had just been wiped down. Not crazy loud, even for being right off of a super busy street. Looking forward to seeing what the hype is for this burger joint.

Onion Rings

I thought I had reviewed Volcano Burger a long time ago, it's one of my favorite burger joints ever! Discovered this place a few years back looking for a hidden spot to frequent. It's always a packed line and people usually in the front ordering and filling up their eating area, I'd recommend grab and go here. The burgers are amazing, big in size, taste better than fast food style, more like the entry level restaurants. I'm a big fan of their fries and fried Zucchini. Got the onion rings this time, it's always overflowing in portion to the serving sleeve. Decided to switch up the Lava Burger with the Fish Burger, it's good to go! Didn't order a shake this time but usually do, they're big servings and the same quality as the rest of the menu. If you're in the surrounding area looking for drive-thru, consider trying this place out. Makes a quick meal seem more satisfying than chain establishments.

When we feel like a burger with fries and zucchini THIS IS OUR SPOT! Its been around forever, its reliable and the food is always handed to us with a smile. Service is fast Food is Good! Their ranch is good too for all the ranch lovers! Our go to order : Dbl bacon burger No tomato - Bacon Burger No tomato Large Fry well done and an order of zucchini SO GOOD!! We have also tried many other items and they were all good. Mom & Pop shop vibes directly across from Los Al H.S

After my time at Los Al high school across the street, I used to come to this place all the time. Was a go to spot always. But it's been a few years and decided to stop by to get some chili cheese fries. The fries, the burgers, the shakes... you can't get anything better. Definitely stop by if you're in the area!

Menu as of 5-31-2026

A classic burger with all the fixins. Volcano Burger is a tasty spot that was quite busy on a Sunday morning. There are no combinations on the menu so everything is à la carte. The French fries were perfectly fried along with the long strips of zucchini which had a good seasoning on them. Service was quick as we were waited on by a friendly young man. Volcano Burger has a covered patio area to eat which was clean with numerous tables. Located across from Los Alamitos HS this must be a busy spot during weekday afternoons. Volcano also has its own parking lot with a couple of handicap spots. All in all a good first time dining experience at Volcano Burger.

Volcano Burgers Reviews in Other Languages

Ask the Community - Volcano Burgers

Does volcano burger delivers?

I am guessing no. But you can always call

Do they have any sliders?

Pro Tip: On Yelp the majority of restaurants have multiple photos of their menus on display in the gallery section of their website.

Is this the same food chain as the Volcano Burgers that was on Artesia and Atlantic in Long Beach Back in the day?

No, they are family owned.

Do you have any sweets or desserts?

Really yummy milk shakes! Not sure if anything else. It's been a while

Do you know if Volcano burger is nut free? I mean obviously there are no nuts in the burger, but wondering if anyone with a nut allergy has safely eaten there? For instance, are their buns made in a facility with nuts, do they use nut oils to fry?

i'm allergic to tree nuts and i've never had a problem with any of their food :)

Does Volcano Burger offer the impossible burger patty?

No, but they have a garden burger

What's the difference between the volcano burger and the cheeseburger?

Cheese

Just a random question: does anyone know the history of place? How long it's been there, etc.?

Not sure the exact date but my dad was going there when we was a kid and he was born in 1960. Been going there since I was born.

Do they charge a fee for debit card?

Yes a $0.65 fee

Are their fries gluten free? I'm not concerned with cross contamination. Just curious if the potatoes are coated in flour or anything. Thanks!

Why would fries be dipped in flour, unless it's double battered but they don't serve double batter fries

Does their chili have beans in it?

No beans!!!! Love their chili cheese fries.

Same owners as the one that use to be on Atlantic and artesia?

Yes this location is the original first one same owners since the beginning

Tasted their good onion rings, do they make it from scratch?

Yes they make them and the zucchini fries in house.

Been here twice and the chicken tenders here are one of my favorite!…read more I get mild and medium, but medium packs a punch. So I definitely can only eat 1 medium strip but they taste great. You can customize the level of heat per tender, which is nice if you're in between the levels. For sides, I recommend the chips! They're tasty and not too salty without the added side salt. I wouldn't recommend the crinkle cut fries though. A few of our pieces were raw and we were eating undercooked fries.

Wow. I can't believe it's been so long since I updated this review. Well anyway I'm happy to report…read morethat it's better than ever. I'll knock off the three categories of food service ambience pretty quickly. What I liked particular was the even wider variety of menu items which you kind of worry about sometimes that they have too much on the menu, but everything is executed perfectly. Every menu item that our party ordered was just fantastic. The service is beyond friendly and helpful and it's just a cool of expired in there you order the counter to give you the number to bring out your food and you are having a wonderful meal. I think the best thing our party had was definitely the pulled pork. Unlike some pulled pork sandwiches where they're shredded beyond comprehension and mush in the barbecue sauce so it's more like a sloppy joe, this had freshly roasted piece of pulled pork. Could really get you into and you could control the amount of barbecue sauce that was going on there so probably the best pulled pork I've ever had to be honest

Burger veggies were not wilted nor slimy, and the fries were fried to perfection and seasoned well. We also ordered an avocado burger (none of the avocados were brown or gross) and a Jr Burger for our nephew. This is clearly a local favorite--there were several phone orders and family orders ahead of us, so the wait was a little longer than we anticipated, but it certainly was worth it! I thought that the establishment was fair in processing orders and went straight down the line of how orders were received! The man at the window was kind and approachable. We'll return!

The burgers and fries are also excellent. In my opinion, they're better than Paul's, and the prices are much more reasonable for the quality and portion sizes you get. One thing I really appreciate is that I can call ahead and have my order ready when I arrive. It's a huge time-saver, especially on busy mornings or lunch breaks. Friendly service, great food, fair prices, and convenient call-ahead ordering keep me coming back. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

The cashier that helped up out provided exceptional service. There were a lot of items in the menu, so my husband and I were just standing there staring at it lol. The cashier was very helpful with recommendations. He even let my husband sample the beer. When we decided what we wanted, I got the Stand Out Burger and my husband got the bbq sandwich and a beer. And we both got onion rings and sweet potato waffle fries to share. You can also request as many sauces on the side as you want. We got the house sauce, Meyer lemon aioli, ranch, ketchup, and mayo. For a regular burger, the Stand Out Burger was delicious. The burger patty was nice and moist. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, just how I asked for it to be made. I added extra pickles (that were free and available at the counter). My husband really enjoyed the bbq sandwich. He's a big bbq lover, I don't really care for bbq. When I tried it, it was very saucy and bbq forward. The sweet potato waffle fries were one of my favorites. It pairs well with the house sauce and ranch. I kept dipping it in what I thought was the Meyer lemon sauce, but turned out to be mayo (lol) and I kept saying the sauce didn't taste of lemon. But the sweet potato waffle fries actually pairs well with the Meyer lemon sauce too. Another favorite was the onion rings. It had a nice thin batter and when you bite into it, you get that crunchy texture. This pairs well with the ranch and ketchup. We would definitely come back to try other things on the menu!

We got back for the beers, burgers, and onion rings…read more Same quality, super friendly service, clean dining area. Never dissapointed at the Stand. The Stand burger is so tasty.

Today was the same taste, super crunchy. We like the Stand because the service and quality are super. Next time we will be back for the movie. So close each other, Regal Edward's and the Stand. Perfect place for the movie and good eating.

And to my pleasant surprise, LJ's Lil Cafe was right down the street. Had to go with the OG Burrito! Comes with 3 eggs, tater tots, Portuguese Hawaiian sausage, bacon, mixed cheese, and the LJ's sauce. Ah it was so good! From the first bite to the last bite. Everything was cooked perfectly. Flavor in every bite. And I ended up just grabbing a drink from Home Depot. Price: $15.99 They have a couple tables and seats. But they're always taken by the time I get there. My other go to spot to eat a breakfast burrito is on my trunk. So, catch me there. Lol. Service - Really good. They did tell everyone that the burrito would take 25-30 minutes to make. WORTH THE WAIT! They also have a texting system that let's you know when your food is ready. Parking - Not too bad. It's in the parking lot of a Home Depot. So there is a lot of spots. Will I be back? Oh heck yes! My reward for playing some pickleball in the morning is definitely going to be a breakfast burrito from LJ's. Also, cause it basically cancels each other out right? Lol. See you soon LJ's.

I really wanted to like LJ's Lil' Cafe, but unfortunately it was a disappointing experience for me…read more First, it can be a little hard to find. It's actually located outside the Home Depot, between the two main entrances, so keep an eye out for the small walk-up window. Since it was our first time here, we asked what they recommended and were told to try the OG Burrito, which comes with eggs, tater tots, Portuguese/Hawaiian sausage, bacon, mixed cheese, and LJ's sauce. It sounded really good on paper. Unfortunately, once I started eating it, I found the burrito surprisingly bland considering everything that was inside. They did give us sauces on the side, but I wasn't a big fan of those either and they didn't really improve the burrito for me. I actually ended up not finishing it, which is pretty unusual for me with a breakfast burrito. The other issue was the price. At $15.99, I expected something that really stood out, especially with so many great breakfast burrito options around Southern California. Nothing was necessarily terrible, and the people working there were helpful when we asked what to order, but overall the food was just mid for me and overpriced for what I got. I left disappointed and probably wouldn't order the OG Burrito again.

You have to try! They're super crispy and have a nice size onion slice in them. I also opted for the Gyro salad with lamb. They offer beef as well. It has Kalamata olives, feta, red onions, tomato, peppercinis, and a few items I've never had in a Greek salad like a hard boiled egg and avocado. As much as I enjoyed this salad it was a lot of work to prep before enjoying it and because of that, I may not order it again. Nothing in this salad is cut up. The feta is in big chunks and requires you to crumble it. The tomato is in quarter wedges, the olives aren't pitted, the meat is in big slices. Overall, it was still a good salad. I paired it with their tzatziki dressing and it was yummy. The service was great. We ordered it to go and probably waited 10min. One thing I love is they don't charge for ranch. The waitress even gave me extra tzatziki. The ambiance is casual. They offer outdoor seating only but it has a pleasant amount of shade. It's a quite large patio area and can seat a fairly large party. You have to try one of their locations and get the onions rings...
