I looked up my Apple Maps to find a burger spot in the area and found this spot within a residential area off Central. The owner running this spot is super welcoming, and there are chill tunes playing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are tables on the driveway, and one two-person table inside the garage so I hung out there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is top notch. The taste and quality are up there, and it's just a nice place to hang out. It kind of feels like hanging out at friend/family spot. A gem for sure. Go hit them up! Cheers! read more

Ryan and Kalina take time to chat with everyone. They are energetic, positive and take pride in what they are doing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is relaxed. It has that "been invited to the neighbors for hamburgers" feel. You feel welcome and appreciated[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I had the Philly Burger with Beer Cheeze Fries. Portions are generous. The fries were the right cut size, cooked just right, lightly salted and drown in cheese. What more can I say? The patty is full of flavor and not overrun with toppings. Each bite opens a new flavor dimension that requires its own attention. Burger Kook claims to be the "World's Second Best Burger". If that is true, then I'll be spending the rest of my life half heartedly looking for the alleged world's best burger. I'm sure that Ive already found the world's best burger. For context: Yes. I have had a Kuroge Wagyu burger from different restaurants while visiting Tokyo. Simply no comparison. Stay hungry. Stay local. read more

It was a bit tricky finding Burger Kook as the address pointed towards a house and I was expecting a stand alone restaurant..  Turns out Burger Kook is operating out of the owner's garage and seating is in the driveway. I ordered a bacon burger with double patties.  Bun was soft and fresh.  Lettuce and tomato were crisp and fresh.  Beef was tender with a nice char.  Bacon was good and salty.  Double burger was a huge amount of food and I barely finished it. 2nd visit I tried the full steak sandwich and fries.  This is a really juicy sandwich and needs to be eaten quickly before the bread gets soggy.  Loved the tender and juicy beef.  I added bacon and the salty flavor perfectly complemented the beef.  The full sandwich was a huge dinner for me.  Fries were fried in beef tallow, crispy on the outside with a delicious beef tallow flavor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Burger Kook experience is like eating in your best friend's backyard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]  Owner was one of the nicest hosts I have met.  He came by greeting and checking on his customers.  I talked to him a bit and he gave me a tour of his kitchen.  Staff was very nice and efficient. read more

After driving by a few times, we decided to try Burger kook for Saturday night dinner! You will not be disappointed! Street parking was available at 7pm on Saturday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even though restaurant is on a main neighborhood street, they have a fenced in area for children to play.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was able to eat my dinner while it was hot lol (parents understand). We ordered the beer cheese fries, a bacon cheeseburger and a cheeseburger. The food was really good. You can tell the ingredients are all top quality. My burger was filling without being greasy or too heavy. The owner and chef were extremely welcoming! He and his wife made sure we were taken care of at all times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you are a San Diego local this spot is worth a try or a few.... lol we watched the sunset from the front yard and it was peaceful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I plan to return and get a milkshake!! read more

Let me start off by saying this burger is sooo good and juicyyy! The burger diaper couldn't even hold in all the juices! I got a bacon burger with an egg. The bacon is crispy and the egg was cooked just how I like it! Mostly cooked and a lil runny. The chicken nuggets are legit! Tastes way better than Mickey D's! My kids are extremely picky, but these were definitely kid approved :) The fries were so good and crispy! My kiddo and I barely made a dent in the bacon cheese fries. It's a large portion and definitely good for sharing! You won't be leaving this place hungry. The service here is top notch! The owners of this place are just the sweetest and nicest people! They really opened up their home and make you feel welcome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have picnic tables in their front yard so you can eat and the kiddos can play.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place lives up to the hype! We'll definitely be back :) read more

It's pretty cool when interesting spots to eat, pop up on Instagram reels. And that's exactly what happened with Burger Kook! I've had this spot stored in my memory bank for a good time & then hubby recently brings up Burger Kook. Then, it was time to follow through. After reading some reviews- how busy the line can get once they opened- all true! Yes, they do have online ordering- and this is an option patrons will use before business hours start going.... So, even though we arrived first, we were warmly greeted. Conversation started flowing so fast and excitement to show us the burger inventory from West Coast Prime Meats. We tried to tinker ordering online while staff quickly finished setting up. Celina (Selena?) greeted us at the register and saw us tinkering with the online and said we could just order with her, instead. Perfect! Because I was bummed looking at the online menu & noticed all the milkshakes were SOLD OUT. So, when I asked Celina about it- it was all good to go! (They just happened to run out of ice cream at that time.) Hopefully you also follow Burger Kook's IG stories because lots of good stuff if you catch it at the right time! Hint Hint! There are daily specials available. Thank goodness for the Mini Kook. Perfect portion size, especially with a peanut butter milkshake. The beef tallow fries are the shoestring type. Lightly salted and golden. Chef Pennywise is awesome! He has great things planned soon! We definitely know on our next visit, there's other items we're ordering. Chef mentioned if you order a double or triple patty- to expect a double or triple serving of bacon, cheese and all the other things that go with it. (Good to know). My long sleeve shirt didn't do justice for me & Chef removed the table umbrella & placed the heat lamp next to us. Much appreciated! He recommended visiting at night since they have fire pits going on! Come out and support loval read more

The Burger Kook is such a gem. A true mom and pop spot with the kind of community vibe that's hard to find. It's super kid friendly and just feels welcoming the second you walk in. The ambience is mellow and laid back, perfect for hanging out and actually enjoying your meal. The owners are amazing. So friendly, sociable, and genuinely nice people who make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. The food is an easy 10 out of 10. I got the bacon cheeseburger and every bite was bomb. The meat was cooked perfectly, seasoned really well, and not dry at all. I also loved that they gave me sauces and chili peppers on the side so I could customize my burger. They have a solid selection of sauces, which is such a nice touch and honestly makes the whole experience better. The chicken sandwich is HUGE and the chicken was juicy the entire way through. No skimpy portions here. The fries were exactly how I like them. Thin, crispy, and dangerously good. But the nuggets are my favorite. I love McDonald's nuggets but hate that weird aftertaste and these completely set a new standard. Clean, crispy, and so satisfying. I'd come back just for those. And the Oreo shake is bomb. Thick, creamy, and the perfect way to end the meal. Great food, great vibes, and genuinely great people. Definitely coming back again and again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Delicious food, excellent service and chill music with a casual vibe that makes you feel like you're hanging at your friend's house![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely be back for more....... We ordered a lemon bar shake- not pictured cause we dove right into it!!! Frings- both the fries and onion rings were crispy and perfect but bringing the sauces with the order was right up my alley! Ranch, bbq, kook sauce and honey mustard!!! YES!!! My husband got the OG burger- so big and very juicy- and I got the regular cheeseburger that was more than I could finish and very good! More than the mouthwatering burgers and excellent milkshake, the owners and the staff are friendly, super nice and chatted with everyone making sure that no one needed anything and everyone was happy. That'll bring me back every time!!! Great job Burger Kook! Can't wait for our next visit! read more

Burger Kook - THE BEST FOOD AND PERSONAL SERVICE FROM RYAN HIMSELF - Burgers Near Me - Bonita, California

For starters, WOW. I am so glad I found this place on social media. We came on a Friday afternoon around 5PM and by the time we sat down to eat, it was PACKED. For good reason. The food was DELICIOUS! The owners were such cool people. There were a few tables for outdoor seating. Dog friendly which is always a plus for me! The milkshake was BOMB. However, I would recommend reconsidering if anyone is lactose intolerant ... I haven't had a corn dog in so long but they were FIRE. I'd honestly just get that and the nuggets the next time I come! Please come with patience. The food is made with love and is fresh. You're not going to get fast food speed because it's better quality than that! Enjoy everyone! read more

Food: I ordered the Kook burger, my husband ordered the same with 3 Patty's. The burgers were so juicy and delicious! I also ordered the fries with cheese and onions, super yummy, perfect with a coke. Service: Excellent, we got there before the opened up on a Saturday at 12:30, other people were already there waiting. My husband didn't tell me it was at a house, so at first I thought it was weird. Once we started talking to the owner & his wife, who are the nicest, friendliest people, and they are pros in the food business, I didn't worry after that. Ambiance: They have a super great chill set up to relax and enjoy their freshly made food. . Tables with umbrellas. Plenty of room, easy to park. Noteworthy: Worth every bite! read more

Burger Kook - Burgers Near Me - Bonita, California

I drove by this spot a few times and was curious about it since it's in someone's driveway. My wife and I bit the bullet and came here on a Thursday night. It was pretty packed for a weeknight at 6PM. Music playing made it feel like a welcoming backyard front yard, in this case) shindig. The service was good. She asked if we've dined with the before and guided us through the menu. PRO TIP: scan the QR code because the pictured menu is just a fraction of what they offer. We ordered the mini kook w cheese and I got the mini double kook, which they compare to in n out sized burgers. We also ordered the bacon cheeZe fries. Their fries are cooked in beef tallow and they were AMAZING. Just like how McDonald's used to make their fries. These were so bomb and I'm already looking forward to coming back. read more

Such a great hidden gem! Burger Kook is local and unique since they serve right out of their home. The husband (chef pennywise) and wife duo are amazing, super friendly, and very attentive. The customer service alone makes you want to come back. The burgers were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. I'm picky about grilled onions, and they nailed it. Perfectly browned, full of flavor, none of those half-cooked white onions you sometimes get at you know where.... The only thing I didn't completely love was the bacon cheeZe fries. The bacon itself was cut and cooked perfectly, but for me the beer cheeZe was a little too strong and overpowering. The milkshake was spot on. Not too sweet and was perfect for a hot summer day. Overall, such a solid spot and I'll definitely be back soon! read more

I am providing a three star review due to good Customer engagement and good overall food quality. Burger Kook, is a pop up burger joint out of a residential garage. The staff is friendly and engaging. Service is great, but can be slow when too many people arrive. They create a cool welcoming vibe. The food tasted good. But... the pricing does not match the product. I went in fully wanting to support this family business restaurant. I ordered a double 1/4 added bacon, lettuce wrapped and fries. My wife ordered a bacon burger and fries. She brought her own gluten feee buns since on a previous call the owner said they don't have gluten free buns but they can prep a bun she brings in as long as it's not a serious allergy. It wasn't, so we took the bun. She got her burger bag with a cold bun (since they are refrigerated), because they didn't heat it on the grill like the other buns, and she was very disappointed. Now as I mentioned, it was only two burgers, two fries. No drink, no shake, no added stuff. The total bill was $61!!!!! That was way too pricey for what we got. If they were to adjust their prices, they might get returning customers. The restaurant is instagram famous right now, but without realistic price adjustment, they might not maintain a customer base after the initial visit. read more

What a hidden gem in Bonita! We ordered the fries, 2 cheese burgers and an oreo shake. We ordered online and picked up our order 20-30 mins later. The service was amazing! We checked in and were warmly welcomed! The food itself was delicious. They really pack on the toppings. The cheese on the fries was velvety. Would definitely order again. There's plenty of tables on the front yard for those who would like to dine in. read more

This is a place that defines anything is possible. The food is the quality of In&out with a hodads flavor. The personal attention the staff of a husband and wife gives each person is the best. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The setup in the driveway is like you are at block party or neighborhood bbq[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . The fries in my opinion compliment the variety of options with the Burgers. It's at private residence. So look online or call ahead to see if they are open. read more

We stopped here on the way home to enjoy great burgers. The place has several patrons out front eating around 6:30p. We ordered 4 burgers, a chocolate shake, and 2 orders of beef tallow french fries. Food was very good, even after a 10min drive home. The burgers tasted fresh and made with good ingredients. The first time they made the chocolate shake, it melted while waiting on the order. They were kind enough to make another one for us to take to-go. They use real ice cream so I recommend eating at the location to enjoy your shake. Grilled onions were a hit. Everything was top notch. Burgers are very large and the meat is great grade, not at all cheap. Thanks to my husband for getting me the pictures because my phone was not available. read more

Finally made it to this community establishment and I might have hyped it up too much! I tried the $50 dry aged burger with grilled onions that was referred by the girl at the registered along with "the best" animal style fries. I'm not the expert nor food critic, I'll just say I won't order that one again. And I'll also add that the broiled onions and melted cheese on the fries was not to my liking. Very disappointed, especially when paying that much. This hamburger was way too close to the burger you make at home yourself on the grill. Literally!! Nothing special here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was great, and welcoming and the place was clean and they have amenities for the kids if you take them but then you will just end up paying more.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Best of luck Burger Kook. read more

I'm pretty sure Burger Kook just ruined all other burgers for me. The burger was so good I actually had to stop talking for a minute and just process what was happening. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. The fries were crispy perfection, the onion rings deserved their own fan club, and the milkshakes? Thick, cold, and dangerously addictive. On top of that, the owners were incredibly friendly and attentive the entire time. You can tell they genuinely care about the food and the people walking through the door. Came in hungry, left emotionally attached to a cheeseburger read more

I passed by here many times with my kids and we all wanted to try it. We finally decided to for my son's 8th grade promotion. He contacted them the day before to make sure our party of 8 wouldn't be overwhelming and they were excited to have us come and offered to save us a table. When we got there, they were so friendly and welcoming giving us waters. We ordered way too much food, but everything was delicious. I loved the crispy onion rings. The kids loved their kook fries and burgers. The milkshakes are thick, creamy and definitely decadent. We will definitely be back! read more

Everything went well! From the perfectly cooked burgers, kook fries, friendliness of staff -- we had an awesome experience. This might be my new favorite burger spot in San Diego. The ingredients used are clearly great quality. You can taste it in each bite!! Some pro tips; there are signs everywhere notifying customers that this is not a fast-food restaurant. It is fine dining in a casual setting, which I 100% agree with! Know that it will take at least 20 minutes for your food to be prepared. Especially if there is a long line ahead of you. You can order ahead on their website for quicker service, and pick it up curbside too. That is what we plan to do next time. We ordered the corn dogs for my little one and she absolutely loved it. Their kook fries are their version of in n out style fries, but better. There's delicious homemade sauce, grilled onions and cheese. I would definitely order the kook fries again. There is a wide selection of burgers, but my husband and I got a simple cheese burger with everything on it. We were so impressed, it made our 20-minute wait SO worth it. The staff here is so friendly, they were welcoming and kind. They also have a gated area in the front with games and toys for little ones. There's also some seating on the drive way with umbrellas. Street parking only. 100 out of 10 recommend Burger Kook to all burger lovers out there :) read more

This smash burger spot is the cutest! The food is incredible- smash burgers and more, amazing bacon cheese fries and 26 kinds of milk shakes!

I am trying to think of another reason to go to Bonita so we can try some more delicious shakes and get another burger. Seating is outdoors, with one table semi-inside. Parking is plentiful on the street. read more

Super cute concept, friendly owners and support. Loved the fenced in front yard for kids to roam and play. We played a couple rounds of corn hole. Came back and dinner was delivered. I was really hoping to try out the Po Boys but they were out. I got a basic cheeseburger, one of my sons got the double cheeseburger, the other got the bacon. My husband got the pizza fries that must have contained a full package of pepperoni. The caramelized onions on the burger were the high point. Very tasty meat and seasonings but just a little too charred and greasy for our tastes. Happy we tried them out. I wish them continued success! read more
