Best burger in Laguna Beach no doubt about it. It's a small little place. Don't expect anything fancy but you will get a handmade fresh ground beef excellent burger you can tell they put love into the quality of their food. The fries were hot and fresh. the service was on point, very friendly and welcoming great hidden gym. Don't miss out. read more

Was super excited about the food as this was a new place opened, though the atmosphere was super cold upon entering. I had almost thought I wasn't even allowed inside. Barely any interactions or a hi from the staff. The cashier was a bit awkward but I kinda assumed she was new, no problem but even so just felt really off, like the workers scolded us for being there with their eyes. As for food, it was okay. Nachos felt like something else was needed to complete it, something missing. Overall; uncomfortable interaction today. But not to worry as I think this place is rather new. read more

The food was delicious I got the CK smash burger it was very tasty it's a tiny little place but the food packs a punch, I'd recommend extra pickles they are bomb! The service was really good, the people there enjoy doing their job. Highly recommend it if you're in the area. read more

Food was good.... however... service from front desk and " so called chef Kevin" was horrible. We had reservations for 530.... we showed up at 5 o'clock and asked if we could sit at the bar . Only a couple of seats at the bar, but they were divided by two and three seats in between. So we came back to hostess and asked if we could be seated by a window. A wannabe chef. "Kevin" took us to a table in the back by the kitchen in a dark area, which we said we didn't like. We asked to move to a booth by the window and we were told it was for a larger party. Mind you we were a party of two seated at a four person table in the back where it was dark and where we wanted to go, was a table for four in the light by the window.. Hmmmmm.... as we left the restaurant after 40 minutes and there was still no one at the tables that we wanted to sit at , we walked by wannabe chef Kevin, and also the hostesses at the front desk and not one person said goodbye or thank you for coming or have a nice evening. Service here sucks.! There are 1 million places where I can go for a salmon taco or a burger and this was the same service we received years ago and decided to give you another try and you still failed..... big time! Don't know the type of people that are coming to visit your restaurant, but you really need to take a good hard look at your wannabe chefs that walk around the restaurant thinking that they're God's gift and the people up in front that see you, and think twice as to how you are perceived. We will never be back and really do t know how you operate a business in this day and age the way you do read more

It is located in what it used to be a apartment complex, what it seems like. They offer parking which is good since it's such a busy spot. The burger is good-- cheesy and flavorful. However, the gyro plate was a extremely disappointing. The meat looked like a green tortilla-- not only that but the sides were terrible-- a salad was just chopped lettuce, and some tomatoes and cucumbers on top. Besides that, the humus was sour and the tatziki tasted like rotten yogurt. I told the owner and he literally "scraped" the tatziki out but there was residue. Awful. We paid $40 for a meal that was worth $15 Max. Fries were $5! Literally fries with pepper on top. Would I come back? NEVER! Not to mention that they just ring a bell for you to get your food. Awful. Awful. Extremely disappointing. read more

Truly, the best smash burger ever. The service is excellent and the tables on PCH and people watching was second to none. read more

We went to check out this place for the first time on a Tuesday as I saw they had a good Taco Tuesday special the week prior. We were told they were not offering it anymore. The cashier was very out of it. Slow, mumbling and uninterested. Made the whole transaction very uncomfortable and weird. In regard to the food, my friend got regular tacos and he said they were fine but the tortilla was a regular mission brand tortilla. Surprising for a $5 taco. I got the carnitas nachos which didnt have a lot of flavor and full of gristle. The guacamole also had a fishy taste which isnt a great sign. Wont be going back. read more

Have only had the smash burgers here. Tastes pretty good quality and it's pretty inexpensive compared to other spots where you'll end up paying closer to $20 for a burger. read more

Coast Kitchen on coast highway in Laguna Beach has recently opened. It was no accident that I came upon this place. I was actually going to Taco Loco that used to be at this location. I didn't know they closed. I spoke to the owner and they have been open for about 2 months. He told me the cook that used to be at Taco Loco is still working there. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they didn't disappoint. They also have burgers if you're not in the mood for a taco or burrito. They have a smash burger which is one of my pictures they had advertised outside. They have a shrimp burger and also a tofu mushroom burger. I'll have to try one on my next trip. The owner also told me they are opening a coffee/smoothie place on the same premises on the other side of the driveway. They also have a small private parking area if you are dining in or picking up. So if are down in Laguna make sure you stop in and try this new business out! read more

Dont eat here if you want actual good food. I have no idea what they were doing to cook burgers but it was the absolute worst food i have ever eaten. The only taste the burgers had was pure salt and grease.. the buns were drenched in it too. Also the burger meat was pink inside.. disgusting. Literally made my entire friend group nauseous, and I got food poisoning. Also their online menu looked good and said they served tacos, gyros and burgers, but when we got there they told us "oh only burgers now." But yeah, this place was disgusting and made me sick, do not eat here. read more

Dear lawdddd GET THE SMASH BURGER HERE! We love the burger at Ahba and this one is different enough to love in a different way -- plus super convenient, casual to grab something quick. Plenty of seating and the potato tacos were bomb too! We grabbed another burger to take home for later lol read more

Coast Kitchen - Just wow - Burgers Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Wow. At first, was sad that taco loco left, but now, a lot less sad. This place is amazing. The food, the prices, the service. All top notch. Relaxed and easy vibe. Quick and inexpensive. They stay open late. Laguna beach needed something like this. 10/10 read more

Horrible food!!! DO NOT EAT HERE!! I ordered a burrito and there was a huge piece of plastic right in the center of my food. I could not believe that was in my food. Not to mention it was cold when I received my order. This place is disgusting I'm not sure how they passed a health inspection or how they are training their staff. Please do not eat here read more

ABSOLUTELY horrible!! I ordered 2 burritos, one vegetarian and one carne asada. I'm vegetarian and the other was for my husband. We both got home late from work so we were so hungry. They gave us 2 carne asada burritos and I was so upset because clearly I don't eat meat and they got my order so wrong. They closed 5 min later so I was not able to get another burrito. To top that off my husband took a bite into his burrito and there was a huge chunk of paper wrapped inside the burrito. Absolutely disgusting!! I am beyond upset and disgusted with this place I will never go order from here again. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Coast Kitchen - Burgers Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Not sure how this place has a 4-star rating, but it must not be for the tacos. My husband got the taco Tuesday street taco special with carnitas & a drink for $10. I got a regular carne asada taco for $7. The carne asada was super dry and only topped with cilantro... on a dry tortilla you can image the amount of saliva it would take to swallow a bite lol. Definitely not worth it for us. Ambiance: none. It stank of cigar smoke from the shop above them. Service wasn't good. The cashier was very confusing. Maybe she was a bit out of it or having an off day, or, worse case she was high. Again, not sure why this place has 4 stars. read more

The smash burger is incredible and the best I've had! You all have to try it...you'll be hooked!

The burgers and fries are SO GOOD it will satisfy any craving for a great burger. They make the patties fresh to order, the cook and server were so kind and accommodating and the place was clean. They gave us great service and even better food. 10/10 read more

My wife and I had the new gyros tonight. They were fantastic! The ingredients were all top quality, and the taste was superb! I strongly recommend it! read more

Burgers were amazing. Would definitely come again, if you like spicy -- ask for Lui's chili sauce he makes it himself. We tried the CK smash and BBQ smash. BBQ comes with onion rings that are killer. Meat was so juicy. read more

The service was quick and super friendly. Their menu offered a lot of options. The Gyros and Asada fries were delicious. Great spot!

I have to recommend Coastal Kitchen in Laguna Village for their awesome Smash Burger. Saw someone post about it on Nextdoor earlier this month and finally stopped in last week. Just delicious and a real value for the money. Owner Cyrus was a pleasure to chat with while I waited for my order and he noted that he kept on the cooks from the former establishment, Their Mexican food items are still part of the menu at exceptionally reasonable prices as well, though I did not try them this time. Free parking is available underneath the building structure for easy access, so give it a try! read more

I wanted to go in for a late night craving and was disappointed by the sad tacos I was given. Each taco was 6$. I could've gone to taco bell for a better meal for a fraction of the price. Please do not go here. Worst place I've ever tried. read more

One of the best smash burgers I have ever had! The chicken tacos are equally as good. Friendly staff and beautiful location make the experience that much better! Would have posted a picture of the burger but I ate it too fast lol read more
