I hate to give bad reviews but this really took went for the gold of awful. I will never be back to this "Burger Spot" First the order was wrong, asked for no onion lettuce or tomatoes but got it anyways. Meat was super salty and over cooked. I've never had meat that tastes like this did. Then the lettuce was bright yellow. To be honest the best thing on the burger was the purple onion, and I HATE onion. Milk shake was super watery and bland. It taste like when someone tried to make a milk shake at home for the first time and blends ice cubes and milk with no sugar and thinks it's the same. It's not.... I literally took 3 drinks and thew the rest in the trash. The last photo is of what I threw away. I hate throwing away food but I couldn't bear to eat this stuff it was that bad. I had no idea how this place has any good reviews at all. This was hands down the worst meal I've had so far in life. Please save your money and stomach. Go to a gas station and you'll find better tasting food! Walking up I thought "hey this place seems a little rough around the edges they probably have great food!" As most small places that look like this do. I saw the water damaged windows, clacks in the walls and had hoped to find a jem but in fact found a turn. Not even a polled gold one just rotten and disgusting. The restroom was disgustingly filthy, had black marks all over it, I had to pee and ended up using my own hand sanitizer when I left because I didn't even want to touch the sink. There was black all over the sink, toilet was stained, all the devices covered in black marks. I'll never come back and warn you to do the same. I'm really sad to write this but I need to be honest. I hope they get some things fixed and learn how to treat customers one day. read more

Delicious burgers! I was craving a burger so I split one with my son. They were out of onion rings so we got fries. Super salty, so I gave them all to my son. Order was ready in ten minutes after placing phone order. 12/14/25 read more

We came here to eat lunch before a movie, I have been wanting to try this place out since I moved to Tehachapi. I still want to come back to try out the ostrich burger! We all got hamburgers except me, I got the grilled chicken sandwich and it didn't disappoint. There was one girl working the counter but she was friendly and got our orders out pretty quick. The restaurant is a little burger place with a couple of games for the kids and some tables. It's a nice place to stop if you have a craving for a yummy burger and fries and a shake. read more

Classic old school joint feel with super friendly Staff and great food. The place is old & showing it's age, but the food is delicious. My wife & I split a combo Angus Burger, the young lady was nice enough to cut in half and put a tomato on the side. (I hate them, wife loves them). The Burger was grilled just right and the bun stayed together even with being stuffed with fixins. The crinkle fries were crispy, but not over done. We love a good crinkle fry and these were great. I ordered fried mushrooms and they were perfect, been a long time since I got a great mushroom. Not to.much breading and the mushrooms were just right. We came back after walking around town and grabbed a Shake. Nice & thick, a great shake. Definitely the spot !!! read more

We love this place. We eat often here. The Burger Spot has been a local fixture since 1969 when Mark first moved to Tehachapi that he remembers. I wasn't even born yet. Service is always quick and food is prepared to order. The diner is small and has Ms. PAC-Man & Galaga video games. The classic kind. read more

Had to come try this local spot in Tehachapi because of the Ostrich burger. From the looks of it this seems like it could be the local hang spot for teenagers. (That's just my opinion). Service was pleasant. Mousa was very attentive, whatever we needed he supplied. He even graciously cut my burger after I forgot to ask when I ordered. The restaurant is small and cozy with lots of nostalgia in it. They have Ms. PAC and Galaga, old school video games. I had a blast playing Ms. PAC. The food was decent, my husband enjoyed his ostrich burger and I particularly love crinkle cut fries. Nice little place to have an easy going meal while on vacation. read more

Good food, good service ,small dining area definitely worth going back. Only tried the burger and fries I want to try the shakes

I've been wanting to go here for a while and since the Wife and I were in town from Bear Valley we thought we would give it a try. I highly recommend coming here if you're craving some burgers, fries, and other foods. We got two burgers, chili cheese fries, and the fried mushrooms. Oh the food was very good and the service was great. You just walk up to the window to a happy and cheerful girl ready to take your order. She was very nice and helpful with all of our burger needs. The root beer I got was very delicious also. It was busy when we showed up for lunch and I can see why. The ambiance is a classic burger spot with booths to sit in with some games to play if you want. Lots of parking is available also. Great location with great food. I highly recommended this place if you're craving some burgers. I will be definitely coming back for more. Thank you for the great experience. read more

Ordered a BLT and got served a pastrami lettuce and tomato sandwich 30 minutes later. The pastrami had been purposely overcooked and salted to be disguised as bacon. Was a salty mess and inedible. Disgraceful that an employee would try to cheat you and pass that off as a BLT rather than just say "sorry we don't have bacon". Absolutely gross, don't recommend. read more

Well this average looking place was a nice surprise! The fish sandwich and Pastrami burgers were divine. Krinkle Cut fries are awesome.

I had an ostrich burger about a month ago. Sorry but this is was probably the worst burger ever, the meat was drier and tougher than possibly the package it came in. read more

I ordered two double cheeseburgers the price on the menu says $8.49 but I was charged an extra $1 per hamburger. I asked what the additional cost was for & was told since they were double cheeseburgers there's an extra fee because they need to use more cheese. I don't mind paying $9.49 for a burger but if that's what I'm being charged then that should be the price listed on the menu not $8.49. read more

The food is great, but the service is beyond your expectations. Great peeps. I would definitely come back.

Absolutely delicious everything. The combo pho is a favorite. The Maui chow mein is a flavor explosion with each bite. The servers are the most friendly people which makes the dining experience even more enjoyable. read more

Quality burgers, fries and shakes. You absolutely will not walk away from this burger dive disappointed. A definite goto when I'm in Tehachapi. read more

Best veggie burger and fries I've had in ages! The burger was a garden burger patty which I really appreciate now that everyone is using the gross impossible meat. The fries were flavorful and not greasy at all. Everything was fresh and well prepared. The prices were very reasonable. This will be a regular spot for me from now on. read more

Very good basic burger place with decent prices for substantial burgers. We each got classic burger combos with burger, fries, and fountain drinks for $8.99 each. The burger was filling and had very good flavor. it did ~not~ taste like a typical fast food chain burger. I had a moment of nostalgia for when all burgers were this good and tasty. (Alas, such is not the case, usually.) I appreciate the fast, courteous service in a retro-esque burget joint. crinkle cut fries hot from the fryer and a fountain Dr Pepper made for a filling meal to fortify several more hours of driving for us. I would definitely come back and also recommend to others this as a travel meal spot when in the area.) read more

As always, tonight's review has us traveling with a stop here in Tehachapi. Reviews seemed mixed but leaning towards decent food so we placed a phone order. Ortega burger combo and a pastrami sandwich combo. The Ortega burger was good according to my partner. She said the chili actually had a decent heat to it. The fries were ok, frozen crinkle fries. The pastrami sandwich was a big let down. Very small portion by other restaurant standards. Maybe it was because it was night time but the pastrami was overcooked, obviously been sitting most of the day, drying out and just not very good. I get keeping food warm and ready to serve a crowd. But there comes a point in which you toss the dried out meat away to keep customers happy with relatively moist pastrami. I hope that if we return and try it again, we will do do earlier in the day and I will review them again. read more

So flipping good. Pulled it up on our road trip and ordered online. Done in perfect timing. We all got giant burgers just the way we like them. My kids said "mmmm can we stop here on our way home from our trip too!" ... we might just have to! The girl at the front was a sweetheart too. Such a client burger place too. Looked so clean and tidy. read more

Pros: - The food is good, I like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, mozzarella sticks, and bbq sauce. - The lady at the counter provided great service and was helpful. - They have Pepsi products and Pacman/Galaga arcade. Cons: - Interior is outdated and not very cleanly. - Fries were too dry. - Food is not worth the price tag. I paid $8 for a chicken sandwich. I could get a similar one from Carl's Jr. for half the price. For the price tag, I expect bigger portion sizes or better quality, but it wasn't there. read more

Not good. Maybe it was once, but now it's just sad. Saddest burger I've ever had. Both mine and my wives burgers looked like they were kicked around on a factory floor. The patties were thin and overcooked, avocado was brown and mushy. I've had better school lunch burgers. People who give this place five stars have clearly lived in Tehachapi their whole lives and don't have anything to compare it too. No palette. Cause this is no burger. Places here need to put some ever-loving effort into their businesses. read more

Burger Spot - Super thin and overcooked patty with a tiny piece of bacon that eats more like jerky. - Burgers Near Me - Tehachapi, California

An old establishment in an old town bringing that old fashioned feel. That is what the Burger Spot is all about. Its a small place. A handful of small boothes, a table, and a small bar. Not a whole lot of room to stand and order. There is oldies music playing for that extra atmosphere. I love it. My fam came here for lunch to checl it out. We ordered a double cheese burger combo, pastrami burger combo, and a jr. burger. $25 and change. Prices are a little high but the food was good. I had the pastrami burger. Good sized and well portioned. Nice pastrami crisped up on the griddle before being placed atop the burget. Lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and cheese rounded it out. It was an enjoyable burger but a bit salty. Even for a pastrami burger. The fries with the combos were good too. Crinkle cut and dusted with seasoned salt. I would have prefered them a little less cooked but I still ate them. We were all full when we finished our lunches. We thought about dessert but decided there was no room. Just like there isn't much room at the boothes here for us bigger guys. The benches are too close to the table and the table has a leg on the outside edge. Makes things uncomfortable. That is my one primary issue here. But that my problem and one I have run into elsewhere many times before. Its just the way I'm built. Anyhow, enough about me. Some final thougts on the Burger Spot; The menu is big. Lots of different burgers to choose from including an ostrich burger. Also a lot of sides and desserts to try. Good service. Good food. Enjoyable atmosphere. And there you have it. read more

This is a nice small local burger spot in Tehachapi. I had to come up here to do some work on a property and needed a quick lunch spot. I did not want to go to a run of the mill fast food joint and wanted to support a local business. After a quick Yelp search (of course) I found the Burger Spot. I decided on the Pastrami Burger Combo, comes with fries and a drink (I subbed onion rings for the fries). Although after the fact I noticed they had Ostrich burgers and wish I would have tried one just to see what it tasted like. They give you a lot of food here and the burger is a good size. My pastrami burger was very good, a lot of flavor with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions. Very good choice. The onion rings were very tasty, although a little over done, but not too bad, still really good. They also have free refills and serve Pepsi products, the ice they have is slush ice, my favorite kind of ice in a soda, so bonus. If you are up in the area, check out the Burger Spot, you can also walk around the little downtown area that has some cool shops and a rail station, classic small town America vibe, I love it. Enjoy! read more

Great little burger place. It has a few tables and a fun ambience. The service was very good and friendly.

I was staying at the Marriott for a wedding and I saw this burger place was walking distance. The burger and fries were really tasty. I love the seasoning on the crinkle fries. The service was really great too. Super nice. If I'm ever around that area again, I would definitely try their other items on the menu read more

I had a cheeseburger last week for lunch and it was one of the best i've ever had! vegetables crisp and beef tasted terrific

I have seen the ostrich burger and I finally stopped. $10.99 for the burger. Sorry it was cooked thoroughly and ended up dry, I assume ostrich is very lean, this could have used something. No inside eating and a table outside. read more

Front and center of the heart of Tehachapi. There are not many burger spots that have free Wi-Fi and a darn good meal. Fries are cooked at a perfect timing and well seasoned and the service is spectacular. The ambience could use some work as well as minor repairs on the floor and stucco. Overall 4 stars, great work burger Spot. read more
