Show me the Mooyah! I love burger places! The best way to describe the burger style is to think of Five Guys and Burger King "have it your way", but make it not suck and taste much better. If you are a serious burger eater, Mooyah is worth a try, but if you are all-in on the In-N-Out hype have fun going there to wait in line and pretending the burgers are "cool" like iphones. I think In-N-Out fans enjoy talking about the food more than eating it. Just saying. I love a lot of different burger places for different reasons. To help with your burger decision I have created the Five Factors for burger eaters. I wish I could write my final graduate studies paper on burgers rather than financial models, but this review will have to do. Five Factors for a burger eater 1) Burger style (High-end, seated restaurant, fast casual, drive thru, customization) Mooyah is customizable. Pick the bun, sauces, and veggies. The options are plenty, more than most places. Think of having a Pieology selection of options. This can be a pro or con depending on your creation skills. Im more a purist because I like a good bun with quality meat. I also like veggies but only enough to give the burger some size and depth. Cheese is optional especially if it cost extra. 2) Fries (steak-cut, skinny, ends) The fries are delicious and seasoned well. Sweet potatoes is another option. I dont always order fries, but its part of the burger experience. Imagine if you could have Five guys fries with and In-N-Out burger. That would make me believe the hype. 3) Shakes (hand made, ice cream, syrup)/ Beer Havent tried the shakes, but they looked great. Shakes are not needed for the burger experience. A good burger is a double base hit. Good fries is a single base hit, but having a great burger, fries, and shake is a grand slam. 4) Setting (dinning, To-Go, order online) Casual with flat screen TVs. The setting is not a sports bar, but I could imagine enjoying a burger with friends. Plenty of seating. Order online option available which is always a plus during the lunch time rush. 5) Pricing (Above $10, reasonable, cheap, $1 menu) I believe the pricing is fair. Around $10 ish for a combo. I worry less about the pricing than the satisfaction of the meal. At $15 plus burger places the mean must be outstanding while a sub $5 burger is not worth it if you have to order more than one *cough* In-N-Out. Mooyah does pass the test. If you need two hands to eat the burger, thats a good sign. This indicates that your burger is not just a snack. Closing comments Depending on which of the five factors matter most to you will determine which burger joint you go to. If you have time to dine-in, I recommend this place. I will try the online option next time to see how fast and easy it works. If you want good fries, Mooyah is for you. The burger was quite filling and I didnt have the urge to order more food. Its hard to put Mooyah in a specific category because its slightly different from the other places. Like I stated previously, the best customer for Mooyah is someone that wants a Texas company burger like Burger King and a Five Guys (east coast) type style. Mooyah is for the mid-tier casual burger lover. Mooyah is the better option to step up your game from a BK or Five Guys. However, I dont think this place will satisfy you if you are a fan of The Habit, Smash Burger, or Fuddruckers, because those places are better options.

Experience: Ive been to several "customize your own burger" places and Mooyah makes it nice and simple! Order is brought to your table in a timely manner and the employees make sure to meet your needs. Seating is sorta awkward, but I dont see them being able to do much due to the building s layout. Still, its good for families to come and enjoy. Food: the Angus beef was quality and cooked to moist greatness. The potato bread bun with the Mooyah spread is delicious! Cheese is unfortunately an extra dollar. You can upgrade your fountain drink to a milkshake with another small fee. Generous serving of thick cut "Idaho" fries. Would definitely come again for these gourmet burgers, super satisfying. Recommended for all burger goers.

AMAZING food. AMAZING flavors. SUPER friendly staff. And the price is right. Plus you cant beat the location RIGHT off the 405 freeway and a short drive from either the 5 freeway or UCI. You can order online or inside. Either way, you are getting good stuff. And they offer a VEGETARIAN option for those not eating meat. And lets talk about their French Fries. Fresh cut potatoes. Nicely crisped. And lightly seasoned. Mmmmmm. Try Mooyah and you wont go anywhere else for a burger.

Hands down the best. My favorite place for a burger and shake. All their food is delicious and offers plenty of options to customize your burger in many different combinations. Even their recommended premade options look too tantalizing to the taste buds. I definitely recommend trying their shakes. They put plenty of whatever mix in flavor you choose. Unlike most shakes you are never left with just ice cream. My favorite is either the Reese Cup or Cookie Dough shake.

When it comes to burger, I gotta try at least once. Mooyah opened just few months ago and we thought we give a try. I ordered the Mooyah burger. I liked the thick hamburger patty. I thought the burger was on a drier side and lacks that flavor coming from grilling. The veggies were fresh and their french fries were pretty good with massive amount. I liked it better than Smashburger but cant beat In n Out and Habit burger.

Decided to try out a burger here since In-N-Out was a bit far. The place was a little empty, but kept clean.The cashier took my order and I had my burger in under 10 minutes with the server asking if I wanted any sauces. I politely refused and enjoyed a tasty burger and fries. Nothing amazing, but overall good quality. Probably on par with The Habit in terms of taste

Burgers the way you want them! Everything was fresh. The shakes are real ice cream and very generous with the mixins. The burgers were exactly as we wanted and the larger fries were huge. We got the half fries and half sweet potato fries. Loved both and the sweet potatoes fries were incredible (not usually a fan but these were great). Would love to eat here again!

Pretty damn good burger!!! Since it was my first time here I opted for MOOYAH burger rather than building my own. Their meat quality is great, grilled to perfection. Im a burger lover and would have to say that this is my favorite burger joint for now. Fries are great, but wish they a but crisp.

Pretty good burger, opted for the mooyah burger, sans cheese. Juicy and flavorful. With all the options, this seems better than five guys. I figured Id go for the double build your own next time. I ordered the half and half fries, lots of fries for sure. The fries tasted fresh and were hot and crispy.

Pretty good burgers, but I think i love their shakes more. Lots of different kind of Ice-cream based milk Shakes, that are delicious. Burgers are decent, and the fries are natural cut (not my favorite, but a lot of people prefer it this way) Overall, will stop in when I can!
