I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. I love their food. Been going for a few years now. Consistent, friendly service, customers from everywhere. It's the closest place for me to scratch that chili fries, burger, fried zucchini, breakfast burrito type itch. How fortunate that is. That drive thru line gets crazy for a reason. This might sound odd, but one huge green flag is the ketchup. Their ketchup packets are the good stuff. No corn syrup. I always ask for some. Please don't ever change that. My go-tos are the volcano or junior burger, plain fries, chili fries with onion, breakfast burrito, fish and chips, and fried zucchini. Their plain fries are remarkably good. read more

The rating is for the food and service. Parking is a but tight with the drive thru line right in the middle of a narrow pathway to go in and out. It made it super difficult to maneuver in and out when people don't pick a side and drive straight in the middle. Ordering is in the front with the menu behind the partition, which made it hard to see and read. Standing there trying to read it with the staff standing there staring at you waiting for you to order is awkward and uncomfortable. So you feel like you gotta hurry and just order something. We got the club sandwich, bacon burger, grilled cheese, fries, onion rings, zucchini and 3 drives for like $59. Seating is where it went downhill. Outdoor seating only, which is fine. However, there were so many flies. So many. One lady, who was dining with her person, had like 8 flies on her back. We walked by and they flew away. Once we got our food and sat down. The flies came. We were eating super fast to leave. It was annoying swatting them away as we ate. My husband said never again. I enjoyed my food and loved the zucchini. I came here specifically for the zucchini since I've seen it raved in shorts and on other reviews. I would come back only for drive thru if I'm in the area. Staff was super nice when I picked up my food from the pick up window. read more

Volcano Burgers - $8 LOL - Burgers Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

The first time I came here def was 5 star, but I showed up right before a rush. Made it for dinner today during a rush & it was a mediocre experience, my burger and my grandmas burger both had an unripe avocado. We had to share the zucchinis, because the Fries were just way too over seasoned, had to pick through the bag for unseasoned ones. Overall I know you guys can do better but consistency is key in all restaurants. read more

Volcano Burgers - Overly seasoned, seasoned fries - Burgers Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Volcano Burgers is one of those spots that's been around for me since I was a kid. It's a classic burger joint, and after all these years, it's still one of my go-to spots. The service is pretty quick, the food comes out fresh, and it's just an easy spot to pull up to when you're craving a good burger. They've also got some nice outdoor seating, which is perfect when you just want to sit outside, eat a burger and fries, and chill. And if you go, I already know what I'm recommending: get the Orange Bang and MAKE SURE you get the seasoning on the fries. Trust me, those seasoned fries with an Orange Bang just hit different. Nothing overly fancy--just a good, old-school burger spot that's been doing its thing for years. For me, there's some nostalgia behind it too. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and I'll keep coming back. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I love the convenience of the drive-through. I usually get the BLT with avocado and toast. The bacon's extra crisp just the way I like it. Their other food is good, but this is my go to. As I write this I think I'll go and have a BLT from there today. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I thought I would try to get another try unfortunately very disappointed in this place their burritos they taste like frozen burritos. The ones that are deep fry. I got some tomatoes that were a little old and mushy which is disgusting if you want good tomato when you're have a burger. It basically don't make your food the way you want it when you have a special request I believe this place is just going down and also to once again why can't you make it a comma without charging an arm and a leg for what you're ordering? I'm very disappointed going to the school across the street back in the day. The food was amazing. I just filled out just overrated too many kids in there making burgers not making it right The Owner should be ashamed of themselves for the quality of their food. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Love Volcano for their patty melts, fries and my favorite, the zucchini with ranch! Yum!!

Great charbroiled burgers. Try the Jr cheese. And their zucchini fries are made by scratch.

Recently tried their burgers, and I'd say they're some of the best I've had. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. I'd skip the fries, though they were just okay and lacked seasoning. The onion rings were a much better choice. The only downside is that they don't offer any family deals, and everything is sold separately, which can add up. Overall, the burgers are definitely worth it, and I'll be coming back for another one. read more

I come for the chicken fried steak sandwich and the zucchini fries. There's always a big line for the drive thru. Lots of menu options.

I am 62 been coming here since I was like 12 yrs old. Same great place! The food is always so tasty. My fav onions rings and ranch so good along with a jr cheeseburger. Hunny had double bacon cheese burger and loved it read more

We have been here more than a dozen times. We usually would just burgers and fries for lunch. You can order ahead on the phone. They also have a drive thru. Food here is descent and fast. Price is reasonable too. Friendly service. read more

The parking lot is small and gets back up by the drive thru big time. The food is good, great customer service. The patio tables can be cleaner and the trash needed to be taken out as it was overflowing. So the area where the customers eat is a bit neglected. read more

Classic burgers, amazing sides, even the salads are delicious. My go-to order is a jr. cheeseburger with a side of zucchini. Sometimes I switch it up with a selection of their Mexican inspired food. Try either their tacos or a beef & bean burrito (extra sauce & cheese). It's across the street from Los Al HS so choose your visit time wisely. read more

Volcano Burger- a nice juicy burger with their sauce makes it delicious. A little different than your standard burger but in a good way. Fries- crispy thick fries are my go to fries. Nice, hot and fresh A nice spot for burgers. Was passing by the area and craving a burger. This place did the job for that and was a bit different than your usual burger. They have their own small parking lot read more

Went to a location nearby and seen the volcano Sign above fence. Place look tidy and clean as I drove up. Didn't even know about volcanos burgers But glad I do now, they have a drive thru which got full as I looked in mirror, but line moves fast and such nice person who handed me food thru window. It was amazing, I ordered the jr burger and what you get was so much burger for your buck. Everything is à la carte, but that's fine with me. I read online other customers saying too much lettuce, please don't change a thing it was perfect amount of lettuce, sauce, tomato and bun all perfect. Will I be back? For sure I can't wait to try other menu ideas. What a nice old fashion place with happy smiles and great tasting food. read more

My wife and I were craving Chili Cheese Fries. I was born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley and my go-to place for this was "The Hat". Volcano Burgers has now become my local spot for a chili-cheese fry situation. It has what I'm looking for: thick cut fries, solid chili, and a ton of cheese. I also got a pastrami sandwich and we also really enjoyed it! I'm a local and I loved this as a no-frills, drive through, local, mom-and-pop burger spot across the street from Los Alamitos High School. It doesn't bring anything over the top to the table, but you'll get exactly what you are looking for. read more

Not your standard quick bite, this local gem is a non-chain fast food spot with a drive-through, a walk-up window, and outdoor seating. While you might assume it thrives only on visits from the high school across the street, the truth is revealed at dinner time -- when cars line up into the street for a taste. We are from out of town and this is a definite have to go yearly visit for us. Some of our repeat go-tos include the chocolate shake, chili cheese fries, crispy chicken strips, classic corn dogs, zucchini fries, and the always-refreshing Orange Bang. read more

I really wanted to love this place since it is so close to my church, but I was a little put off by my visit. The food was tasty, so I will give them that. We ordered two colossal burgers, regular fries, and chili cheese fries. My burger did not come with cheese as I had asked, so I went up and grabbed a slice and added it myself. Not a huge deal, but it did take away from the experience a bit. The pastrami was great, the burger had a lot of flavor, and their ranch definitely passed the test. The biggest issue here is the parking. The lot is very small, and once a rush hits, you are stuck. We sat there for about 30 minutes trying to get out, and my boyfriend ended up going through the drive-thru line just to exit. It was pretty frustrating. That is really my only gripe, though. I am sure we will be back. read more

Great fast food. Diner has been there across Los Alamitos HS since forever! Call in your order and park at the curb for fast pick up.

Went for Dinner last night for the second time.This time I got the chili cheese burger and the wifey got a cheeseburger and chicken strips for the one at home. Everything is solid and delicious. Takes a bit cause all food is cooked to order.The guy helping last night made fell like family agreeing with my choice of a chili burger and said that was probably gonna be his dinner as well. The place is really packed and the kitchen is small but always buzzing. read more

good quality food, good charbroiled taste, fries are good and zucchinis are good not too breaded and not over seasoned. Only thing is none of the meals are "combos" they have to be purchased individually. Parking is also a problem at times but that doesn't change my 4 star review on the food. Outside seating, good customer service., fast. read more

Volcano Burgers - cheeseburger, double avocado cheeseburger, regular fries, regular zucchini. - Burgers Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Volcano Burger is absolutely one of my favorite spots, hands-down! They truly have it all, from burgers and sandwiches to tacos, a gyro wrap, and even corn dogs. Plus, they offer huge salads if you're in the mood for something lighter. You name it, they probably have it. I've never had a bad experience here. We usually swing through the drive-through, which can sometimes be a bit of a wait, but they manage to move things along pretty quickly. The only time I actively avoid Volcano Burger is when the high school across the street lets out because it does get pretty packed. Living close by, this is definitely our go-to place when my husband and I can't decide where to eat because they offer such a wide variety. I especially love that they have Mr. Pibb to drink, and the staff is always incredibly friendly and nice. Highly recommend! read more
