This is my 2nd time here and I find myself wondering if its truly worth this 35 minute wait for a fast food joint... Then, I think about my first visit, 2 days ago, when it was not as busy because they were about to close. My girlfriend had gotten the Scorpion Burrito with the most awesomely flavored beef Ive had in a LONG time. I got the Phucket Chicken Bowl, no rice. The chicken was awesome and so was the curry sauce that its drenched in. The veggies(broccoli, carrots, green onions) were cooked via a short boil (maybe 5 minutes?) And tasted amazing with the curry sauce. I also got a side of onion rings which were simply OK. Bottom line is the meat products are amazing, anything else is hit or miss. The owners are friendly and talkative, but the service can range greatly depending on the time of day and how busy they are. Still, I highly recommend this place if youre in the HB /Sunset Beach area!

GET THERE! Youll love it - I Promise! Best Burgers (Food) youll have and youll make it back there weekly! Get to know Ron...hes a crack up! Great little family business and you can feel the love in their food! Cant wait to go again! Very Casual atmosphere. Grew up in New Zealand with a Fried Egg on burgers ... so great to go out for a great eggburger! Yummy! Oh...then try the Roti (Rolled quesadilla with cinnamon and sweetened condensed milk fried in butter) described by Ron as a Churro on steroids! ENJOY!

The fresh veggies are overshadowed by the several downfalls. It seems that sugar is the complement to each item they sell. Although it helps their food taste better the abundance of it is too much. From overcooked frozen small burger patties to sugar, sugar, sugar this place is worth a walk if your at the beach, but wouldnt be a place to travel to. Its okay for mediocre expectations. The one highlight may be the shakes, but I dont think anyone in my party would ever make a mile trip to go back.

Amazing service and great fusion burger joint. They also have some great curry options that I recommend, expect a good kick. This place is family owned and supply free water and cookies to everyone. Support them and give them a tip for making one of the best burgers in Orange County. Id suggest the Pocket Burger or the Tri-tip burger the first time around. As for the wait, they make things fresh, so if waiting is not for you, simply call in your order.

This place is the best. My friends didnt believe me when I said it was the best burger in California. The pocket burger is great if you like something sweeter, and the tri tip burger is perfect for if you want something more savory. The owner, Ron, is super friendly and talkative and always checks to make sure youre enjoying your food. I wish I lived closer, but making the 30 minute commute just to come eat here is worth it.

The food is delicious. Ive been here multiple times and I tried the Scorpion Bay Burrito and the Pocket Burger. Id recommend both items. The staff is great and I feel welcome when I come in. I prefer the Pocket Burger (I dream of this burger) over the Scorpion Bay Burrito. I usually ask for no rice in my burritos and the Scorpion Bay Burrito has A LOT of rice. The Pocket Burger was extraordinarily good.

They made a great first impression. The building may be small, but they serve big flavour. I got a salmon burger and a date shake that were amazing. Great quality food that doesnt leave you feeling overly stuffed like some burgers do. My only complaint is that everything looked really good so now Ill have to come back and eat more of their food.

We went out there to play a show in Long Beach, and decided to stop and check out the local cuisine. All I can say is the band was NOT disappointed! This is now all of our favorite burger joint, and if we do go back out there to Huntington/Long Beach, we will definitely make another stop here. Much thanks from Ashes Of Arson!

Absoulutely great. Wait time wasnt too long (that being we arrived around 12:00) and burger and fries were cooked to perfection. The Pocket burger had a perfect mix of salty and sweet, and the garlic fries had the perfect amount of garlic. Only thing is that the seating area is very small and suggest you do take out.

We were hungry and looking for something new. I have driven by 1000 times but never stopped in. I am very glad we did. The food was fantastic and the service was superb. I got the Pocket, wifey got the Sunset, and the kids had the grilled cheese. I will be back

Long line, but well worth the wait. Had The Pocket Burger, was sooo sooo good. Friendly staff, I believe this is family owned. They have free cookies and water while you wait. Never expected a tiny place like this to be that good.

The best burger joint, and with a touch of Thai, just to make it that much better. Plus the service is fantastic and friendly. Add the fact that I can walk to it, and I need a 6th star to truly give an accurate rating.

The pocket burger was great with the avocado, bacon, egg and provolone cheese. The strawberry milkshake with real strawberries and real ice cream was delicious as well. Highly recommend this place

We love the burger and the tri tip with pocket sauce. The garlic fries were amazing as well! The place is tiny and they had a bustling dinner rush. Had a great family owned - Beach side vibe.

I love the burgers! Local tips: they will videos customize anything, feel free to ask. Chili powder gives the pocket burger a little bit more. Also, call in your order. Trust me.

got the chicken burger. Meat was hard n dry. I hate that they handle the food with their bare hands :/ My husband got the pocket burger, his was way better.

By now everyone has heard of The Pocket off PCH. Ron makes some of the best burgers in So Cal. It easily rivals that of Hodads in San Diego.

Very good! Great hole in the wall, super friendly, and great tasting burgers. The tri tip quesadilla is gigantic. Definitely will be back!
