I have been coming here for almost 3 decades at this point, it has been owned by the sweetest family and has always been consistent! I always get the bulgogi burger with a side of zucchini and root beer. The burger is extremely filling due to the extra protein (bulgogi) in addition to the burger, the zucchini is spears a piping hot, and they serve their soda with pebble ice! The vibe is very casual and chill, definitely try to avoid during peak hours (lunch time and dinner time) as it can get crowded quickly. This place has a lot of regulars and for good reason, highly recommend! read more

Stayed nearby at the Residence Inn for a family trip to Disneyland and wasn't feeling the fast food fare near the hotel. Did some quick yelp research and found this spot. It was walkable, but a little bit of a trek. 100% worth it. Staff was super friendly and helped us figure out what to order (parents weren't sure whether they wanted Mexican or burgers). We ended up getting the Bulgogi burger, a bacon cheeseburger, some onion rings, and a carne asada fry. Ok. The food doesn't photograph well for your instagram, but it's delicious. Lemme tell ya - after an early morning of flying, we inhaled this food. Would absolutely come back. Was good enough that we're considering skipping dinner at the park The inside of the restaurant is clean and has a good mix of table sizes for everyone. Saw a table near us order the chicken teriyaki plate and it looked delicious as well. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

Apollo Burgers - Carne Asada Fries, Onion Rings, Chips and Salsa - Burgers Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I hadn't heard of Apollo Burger until today, and I'm shocked it's taken me so long to hear about this place! Apollo Burger is located off Chapman in the intersection of Garden Grove, Orange, and Anaheim (technically Garden Grove though). There's plenty of parking, but it can get crowded when the lunch or dinner rush hits. The interior has a bunch of seating, and the restaurant is very bright and clean. The staff were all super friendly, and everything was made fresh and quickly. I got a bacon cheeseburger and a cheeseburger (sub mayo, add pickles and onions), and both were exactly what you'd look for in an old school, diner-type burger. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors were all great. I also got a chocolate shake which I would venture to say was one of the best chocolate shakes I've had in recent memory. I tried the grilled chicken sandwich as well, but unfortunately that was quite dry as they used pieces of chicken vs a full cutlet, so I would recommend avoiding that. This is a great burger joint in OC, and I absolutely plan to come back. If you're in the mood for a diner burger, this place is absolutely the spot to visit. read more

I visited Disneyland during the Lunar New Year, stopped at Apollo Burgers in Anaheim, and I am so happy I had a chance to go! Sometimes after an extended day of being in the parks you are looking for something simple, and different than the theme park food! Apollo Burgers provided me with such an amazing experience! The bacon cheeseburger, onion rings and French fries I ordered were all wonderful. The bacon cheeseburger had a great deal of flavor and was very juicy and the bacon was crisp and the cheese was perfectly melted to hold all of the flavors of the burger together. The onion rings were golden brown and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and the French fries were hot and fresh! When you took a bite out of the onion ring, it was so good! The breading was perfect! What was really impressive to me about Apollo Burgers, in addition to the food, was how affordable it all was! The pricing was surprisingly affordable in comparison to what you would pay inside the park. In addition to this the service was excellent! They were very friendly, moved quickly, and were welcoming as well, even though it was late at night! Apollo Burgers was one of the best places I stopped to eat on my entire Disney vacation. It is a place I will definitely visit again on any future trips to Disneyland if I am looking for an awesome burger at a great price. read more

This was my HS back in the good old days for good burgers & fries and hanging out with friends afterschool. Was working in the area so stopped by for lunch. Same old setting, decor with sport teams plagues hanging on the wall and the seatings are all booth seats. Menu is simple but plenty of choices for both breakfast and lunch/dinner. Great friendly staff with attractive service. Easy order and they asked your name and they brought out the foods to your table once it done. The place is clean and well kept. Parking can be rough especially in the weekends & holidays. I normally would recommend bacon cheeseburger here but I got pastrami sandwich this time. It was good, abit too wet that just makes the bread felt apart. Fries are great and the prices are good for the size. Glad I stopped by and relived and ate the foods here. Great memories and great to see they're still around. read more

Apollo Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I'm always searching for those local hometown, small business burger joints and I finally found another hometown business that I will come support. You have your main stream Carl's Jr. McDonald's, Jack in the Box, but Apollo's cheeseburger is fresh and better in every aspect. Love the crispy edges on the burger patty Fresh cheese Crispy and crunchy lettuce and tomatoes Love how it comes with chopped grilled onions Tangy special sauce, reminds me of 1000 island but with a little more vinegar which gives it that it has Fluffy bun Overall great experience, better than any fast food corporate chain. The fries are great, I love the thicker cut fries so it's crispy on the outside and soft potato on the inside. Overall a burger and fries for $12 is fine the burger was $9. Is it worth $9? Yes it is. And the ranch is really yummy read more

We were hungry and just happened to be in the area when we drove by Apollo Burgers and decided to stop and give them a try. Luckily, we weren't disappointed. It's not very big, but big enough to have a good number of booths. Even though they were busy on a late Sunday morning, we had no problem finding a place to sit. You order at the counter, which is typical of these types of restaurants. I was thrilled to see a beef dip on the menu, which isn't common for similar places. We ordered two in the combo (fries and a drink). It did come to $40, but again, that's getting normal for fast food. They did have Pepsi, and I'm a Coke fan, but I won't hold that against them. After we sat down, they brought up a small plate of chips and salsa, which was a pleasant surprise, and the salsa was excellent. We soon realized why they bring the chips: they're not super-fast with the food. It's not a big deal, and we weren't in a hurry, but it's just something to note. When the food arrived, we realized we could have ordered one sandwich and split it; it was that big! It was also delicious. The beef was more than plentiful, and the bread was soft and fresh, which is how I like it. We ended up taking two 1/2 sandwiches home for later. The place is very clean, and the people were super nice. It's very rare for us to be in this area, but if we are, and we're hungry, we'd definitely come back here. read more

Love supporting a good mom-and-pop spot, and this place truly delivers. The food is consistently good, comforting, and made with care, and the service is just as great, friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. You can really feel the heart behind this little joint. A solid neighborhood spot with good food, good service, and a cozy, down to earth vibe. Definitely worth coming back to again and again. read more

Absolutely OUTSTANDING mom and pop burger shop! Not only is it delicious but the best part is it is always CONSISTENT! There are no off days at this place! read more

A very solid local burger joint, with a good bit more care and attention given to service than your general fast-food chains. Price is slightly higher, and the quality of the food takes a corresponding jump. The double cheeseburger was a little too big and too greasy for my taste -- maybe a little less sauce was needed -- but it was by no means a bad burger. This is pseudo-Americana diner food, prepped and served and run entirely by Hispanics. The grill was neat and well run. I would be much happier to give my money to this place, than to a chain restaurant. read more

I was looking for a place for a good burger, other than one of the chains I've been to Apollo in the past and I thought I'd try them again It was almost noon The place was pretty busy I ordered a cheeseburger and onion rings They were a tad slow with the order but it was only 2 cooks around lunch time My order was $17+ which is pretty pricey for two items Took them home and was surprised to see two 2oz containers of Ranch for the onion rings The burger was very good as were the onion rings Probably took a star off just because of the price I could have gone to In & Out and got a #1 for around $11 but, if you read my reviews, I like supporting local businesses Anyway, if cost is not an issue, Apollo Burger is a solid choice read more

This was my fiancé's stomping ground 20+ years ago growing up in this area. He said nothing has changed except for the price. The burgers are still the same hefty size and taste. He wanted to share his childhood memory with me and wow, great burger! We got the bacon cheese burger and the Bulgogi burger. These were large in size with a crispy toasted bun. Thin burger patty, lettuce, cheese and tomato. Mine came with Bulgogi and his, bacon. The Bulgogi was soft and not too sweet. The fries were perfectly well done with an extra crisp. The service was exceptional, bringing out complimentary chips and salsa. read more

Chicken teriyaki sandwich with ranch.... 10/10.. whenever I'm in the area to go to Disney or see friends I have to stop here. I used to go here 15 years ago when I worked at the Hyatt and believe it or not the quality is exactly the same. My family got their bulgulgi burger and was excellent read more

Service was beyond amazing and every single person was super attentive. They let us customize our bacon cheeseburger and we added a fried egg, a regular cheeseburger, both were combos with one onion rings and the other with regular fries. My only suggestions would be add more seasoning to the fries and the onion rings were slightly overcooked but still good. Our food was brought to our table and the staff kept checking in on us to see if we needed anything else. The place was busy when we got there around noon and it was even busier when we left. They did have music playing but it was so busy you couldn't hear it that well. We will definitely be stopping by again to try other items. read more

I recently discovered Apollo Burgers while attending an event at a nearby hotel in Garden Grove. I have eaten here twice. The first time, I had a bacon cheeseburger combo and upgraded the fries to fried zucchini. I really liked the burger because it's kind of a dry burger where the sauce doesn't drip all over. It was also tasty and had a good amount of bacon in it. The fried zucchini was good, but it was sliced too thick for my liking. It was very filling and I was only able to eat two pieces. My 2nd visit, I ordered a chicken teriyaki plate because I read a bunch of good reviews about it. The plate came with a simple side salad, which was just lettuce with 2 sliced cucumbers and 1 sliced tomato. I had it with thousand island dressing. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the chicken teriyaki because I did not like their teriyaki sauce. The sauce was not thick and sweet enough for me. The chicken was grilled really well though and I like how they flattened the chicken. The rice has a consistency of sushi rice, which paired well with the chicken. The serving is also huge. One plate can easily feed two people. I would return here for their burgers. Also, if you dine in, they serve free tortilla chips and salsa. Customer service was good and fast. read more

A Garden Grove Burger Gem! A true charbroiled burger. Still owned by the same family since I started coming here in the 90s. Restaurant makes their burgers to order. To avoid the wait, when I need to place a To-Go order I always call it in ahead of time. Burger patties are lightly seasoned, burger size is a good size, fries are large and crispy on the outside and soft in the outside. Bacon Cheeseburger Combo is my go-to. They do charge extra for Ranch so make sure to ask for that when placing your order. read more

Was craving a char-grilled burger from somewhere that wasn't corporate and got what I wanted. I got a bacon burger combo and they gave me free tortilla chips with pico de gallo when I dined in with my friend, super nice. Burger was nice and plump, exactly what you expect; nostalgic beefy burgy goodness. Bun was soft and toasted, which supported the burger well and wasn't too thick to take away from the ingredients. Onions were charred well and brought out the flavor. Pretty pituresque burger, look like it'd come out of a sitcom where they go to their local burger joint. Fries were hot and your classic thick cut burger fries. These font of fries are a bit boring for me, but that's just my preference. I'll definitely get another side next time. Service was super friendly and quick, and the inside of the place felt nostalgic as if it was locked in the early 2000s. The meal was exactly you'd expect, and has a charm of a locally owned burger joint. Food was nothing that blew my socks off, but it delivered me with comfort and nostalgia which food with soul can do. read more

Mom+Pop burger joint. If you are in Garden Grove or visiting Disney Land or the Outlets at Orange and needed some delicious burger nearby, definitely visit Apollo Burger. I visited this place many times in my younger days. It still does not beat my favorite burger place - Burger Boss - but the flavor here is best in GG town. Order at the counter when you walk in and staff will bring the food out to you. Staff is always very friendly and cordial. There are chillies like the one you get from In-N-Out but you have to ask for them. Before the pandemic, it was placed by the register and helped yourself but now we have to ask. I tried many dishes over the years but always come back to the good old Bacon Cheeseburger - cut in half - grilled onion and everything in it. Apollo mixed their own spices for burger flavor so you cannot find that anywhere else. Not sure if Apollow's beef patty is grassfed/organic/pastured raised. I wished patty was thicker! I like them thick like Burger Boss. Remember to order Orange Bang! Delicious! I never miss. LOL. Refill is $00.50 (cents). Parking - there are plenty of parkings in the front and back. read more

Been coming here for 25 years, since 7th grade. Family owned place, for as long as I can remember. They sponsor a lot of local youth sports, which is awesome(very active in the GG community. They got some incredibly good burgers, wholesome breakfast with generous portions and let's not forget their deep fried burritos and I'm a big fan of that bomb orange bang. Quick service when you dine in and quick to answer the phone to call in orders. This place never disappoints and holds a lot of memories. I'm always excited to share this place with new people in my life. My wife and I enjoy coming here whenever we stop at the seamster/tailor a few doors down(also a fantastic family owned place). Place does get busy around certain times however if you're a local around the area you know why it's busy but again the cooks are fast and the staff is always friendly and any waiting you do is worth it read more

Onion rings onions rings onion rings and great burger hot and fresh!!! Wish they had coke and not Pepsi products otherwise excellent

Love that this place is so quick! I got the Bacon CheeseBurger Combo + a side of onion rings and it was a total of 23$, the combo included fries and a drink. I think the pricing is reasonable because the portions are generous. In my photo is only a quarter portion of onion rings. Individually I think the burgers and fries were 10/10, the onion rings I probably wouldn't order again (they weren't as thick as I typically like) but I am intrigued to try their fried zucchini next! The burger was absolutely delicious and the bacon was crispy, I prefer whole onions in my burger so keep in mind they add only diced onions (will see next time if I can request whole ones). Service was quick and they were a very kind staff. Will be returning. Even if you dined in it looked like a good spot to go with friends or family casually to eat good and not spend too much! Will deff be going back as I love a good burger. read more
