    Entrance of Gourmet Burger!
    Samara G.

    This is one of those hole in the wall places where you wouldn't think of when you drive by, but please believe me, you'll want to stop! Plenty of parking in the shopping center! When you walk in, it's definitely one of those places where you see it, and you kinda just know, it's going to be tasty! The only thing is it is a bit warm inside. The service was very friendly and checked to see if we enjoyed our burgers! One thing to note is that this place is Halal, so like kosher, it's going to be more of the cleaner meats on the menu. And they have a lot of options for burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. Spicy Burger: This burger was delicious, I'm typically not a huge fan of jalapeños on burgers, but this one is an exception. It had that little kick of spices from both the jalapeños as well as the chipotle mayo. Old Fashion Burger: It's your classic burger, the thousand island dressing, American Cheese, etc. With both these burgers, the meat tasted super clean, Halal meat has unlocked a new level of burger for me! Mozzarella Sicks: Two Words....Cheese....Pull! It was a perfectly seasoned mozzarella stick, but it has the cheese pull!!! Onion Rings: Those were perfectly crispy, and it never pulled apart onion from breading! French Fries: They're your comforting crispy French Fries! Overall this is now one of my favorite places, for the same price as you would get for a burger from any random fast food joint, I'd recommend this instead!

    We had dinner here and there is plenty of parking in the shopping center that the restaurant is a part of. The restaurant itself is roomy and a little warm, temperature wise, on the inside. This is a Lebanese burger joint so everything is Halal. The menu is straightforward and we got two burgers and a few sides. The first burger was the old-fashioned cheeseburger. Super simple ingredients with cheese, a couple of patties, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, red onion and sauce. The patties were incredibly fresh tasting and a great reason to come back again. The second burger was the spicy burger with a couple of patties, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, red onion, Chipotle mayo and slice jalapeños. Just the right amount of heat for me and absolutely delicious. For sides we got mozzarella sticks, French fries and onion rings. All the sides were made fresh. The mozzarella sticks had some of the best cheese pull ever. The fries are perfectly cooked with just the right amount of salt. The onion rings were crispy on the outside and sweet onions on the inside. Fantastic burgers and sides make this a great place to visit again and again.

    I just elevated my tastebuds burger game after this delicious lip smacking experience. This is a Halal friendly spot that has a tasty gem I must tell you about. I ordered the Lebanese burger that came with your basic sesame bun, cheese and beef patty. What made this burger super exciting to my tastebuds was the coleslaw. I'm not sure exactly what it was but it leveled up the burger and with the added fries mashed up inside! Oh Man! I was like Dayuuum! This is like a Ratatouille moment for me with all the elements working together after the first bite. The last time I had a first time winner was my beloved Fatburger and that's saying a lot. The service was great and a big shoutout to Mo! Plenty of seating inside and patio seating also on the side of the joint plus plenty of parking too. And that's my take on this joint, Peace out.

    Yummm, a very small and unassuming establishment . I think it might be Muslim run based on some decor and the staff and that they close for Ramadan which I think is so great! The place was empty when we walked in but the grill was going with a ton of burgers. They had three little iPads chiming away so it's obvious that this place does mostly to-go orders even though they offer plenty of seating. The woman working was super nice. My friend and I each got a sandwich combo and then we got an extra burger to film...phone eats first, right? I wanted the falafel sandwich and was super bummed that they were currently out, but next time! I was very happy with the onion rings. I will admit the patties were a little dry but I thought they tasted good and honestly the food overall is a little sauce heavy so it all evens out in your mouth. The winning thing for me here were the drink options! My goodness, I've never had so many sugar free soda and juice options IN MY LIFE. I love a beverage and they have the crushed ice....it was the best! I think if I lived in the area, I would come around here for a quick and easy dinner. The prices were super reasonable. But it's not a destination type place.

    Fantastic quality burgers! So much better than fast food. Really solid burgers, and they have a pretty big menu. What I tried: -straw onion burger -old-fashion cheeseburger (with bacon) -coleslaw Lebanese burger -fries with cheese (And they are currently running a special for $2.99 smashburgers at both of their locations in Santa Ana and Irvine!)

    We love trying new burger places, especially small businesses, to show our support. This is exactly the kind of place worth supporting. They offer burgers in various styles, along with some sandwiches and wings. Most importantly, their burgers and wings are freshly made. It's not a fancy or expensive spot, but it's authentic and representative of great quality. The owners are friendly and hardworking, always striving to give you the best

    Gourmet Burger is leading the way in making sure *everyone* can enjoy a burger, no matter their dietary preferences or needs. With **two locations in Orange County**, they serve halal-certified burgers that cater to the Muslim community while delivering top-quality, mouthwatering options for all burger lovers. Halal isn't just about following faith-based guidelines--it's about using high-quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation, ensuring every burger is as delicious as it is inclusive. Whether you're craving a classic or something creative, Gourmet Burger is the perfect spot for everyone to come together and share their love for amazing food with great service and in a casual space.

    Coleslaw "Lebanese" Burger
    Millena P.

    We wanted to grab some lunch since we were shopping around the area. Found this spot and noticed they serve Halal meat. We never tried Halal burgers, so we were curious. Check-in: Make sure you check in on Yelp for an old fashioned burger $8.99 combo meal! Parking: They're located in a plaza. Plenty of free parking. Ambiance/Environment: It's a very casual spot. They have a medium sized space with plenty of seating and limited outdoor seating. Service: There were only 2 workers. We mainly interacted with Moe since he took our order and checked on us a couple times. Both workers were quick and efficient. What we ordered: 1) Ranch Burger - This had a good amount of ranch. They also gave us more ranch on the side. The beef patty was cooked well with a generous amount of Swiss cheese! 2) Coleslaw Lebanese Burger - The beef patty was seasoned well! The red onions & coleslaw made it more vibrant and gave it flavor. I'd prefer a bit more fries in the burger, but it was still good. 3) Fried Zucchini - This is exactly what it sounds like and tasted as expected. The breading was good. The exterior was definitely crunchy. 4) Cheese Fries - Ironically there was no cheese, but the fries were seasoned well. Don't forget to dip! 5) Gourmet Wings (6 pieces) - These were my favorite! Their wings were drenched in their house Gourmet sauce and fried perfectly. It was absolutely delicious! Pricing: These prices are $. What a steal especially in this economy! Highly recommend!

    Came in on Sunday Lunch and it was fairly empty. I think the big part of this place is that all the meat is Halal which is great if you're into that. The burgers are your classic burgers with a few added things and overall they are good. Owners/workers were also very nice and friendly. They walked me through the options and told me what's popular. I tried out these items. Spicy Burger - Personally this one was kind of whatevers. It is a basic burger with jalapenos. Nothing bad, but also nothing too special. (3.5/5) Coleslaw "Labanese" Burger - I enjoyed this one. Coleslaw was creamy and overall this is a VERY saucy burger. Burger patty was flavored well. Had French Fries inside too. (4.5/5) Onion Rings - Honestly felt the sides were the best part. One of the best onion rings I've had because I love it when its super crunchy. Solid (5/5). Fried Zucchini - Also another winner. Good breading and overall flavors. Didn't think it was that greasy. (5/5) Overall I enjoyed this spot. I don't think it's the best burger I've had but for a quick bite I enjoyed it. Don't skip on the sides because they were definitely the best part IMO.

    Gourmet Burger came in with the perfect Thursday Night meal! We enjoyed the Classic Cheeseburger and the Spicy cheeseburger making both doubles! They were loaded with pickles, jalapeños, and sauce! Don't forget the Fried Zucchini, French Fries, and Onion Rings, all paired with a delightful trio of dipping sauces! Mo was helpful at the front helping us decide the perfect burgers for us! Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor or grab and go!

    OVERALL : Gourmet Burger serves a variety of burgers and sandwiches (both beef and chicken options) as well as some salads and appetizers such as onion rings, fries, and wings. They are a simple, no-frills establishment but open until 2am every day which is great for late night cravings. They have the classic hamburger / cheeseburger meals, but also more unique options like mushroom burger, BBQ burger, Coleslaw Lebanese Burger, and a Sourdough Burger. Default orders come with 1 patty but you can pay a little more to upgrade to 2 patties. I thought the combo (burger, drink, side) was filling! Service was fast and friendly, and I appreciated the fresh veggies + Halal meat patties made in house. PARKING : Shared parking lot with other businesses, but not crowded. You should not have any issues finding parking! FOOD/DRINKS : Straw Onion Burger: sesame bun, chipotle mayo, beef patty, pepper jack cheese, straw onions, tomato, lettuce -- loved the classic sesame bun on this one, and the straw onions added a nice crisp! Ranch Burger: wheat bun, beef patty, Swiss cheese, straw onions, lettuce, tomato, ranch dressing -- the ranch made this saucy, but not too overbearing! Wheat bun was unique and you could def taste the difference versus just a normal white bread bun. Onion Rings and Fries -- soooo crispy! Loved the classic ketchup and ranch with these!

    BBQ Burger

    I had the chance to try Yelp's best burger in the nation in Hawaii at Shige's Saimin Stand, but that doesn't even come close to the burger I had here at Gourmet Burger. If you are served by Mo, hes super friendly and an awesome owner. Make sure to say hi to him as he appreciates every single one of his customers. The plaza it is located in has plenty of parking, and there is a good amount of space inside. Its reminiscant of a simple but homey burger joint. I got to talk to him about this business and how he puts so much effort into making every burger. All the meat is Halal, and prepared fresh daily. They prep, grind and smash the meat for all their patties. Same with the veggies, they are prepped every morning so nothing is left overnight. And not to forget their sauces are homemade as well. I ordered a BBQ burger and a Lebanese coleslaw burger, both had nicely seasoned meat patties stacked with fresh veggies. Taste wise and visually, it was everything a good burger should be. Not greasy, piled high with toppings and delicious. They do put a lot of sauce on the buns, so if you don't like too much sauce just let them know. Overall really solid burger, and it really helps to know everything is prepared fresh. You can taste the difference.

    Is this place still open no one picks up the phone to place an order tried many times?

    They are still open. Was there last week. Great burgers! Probably just short staffed

    What's in the combination?and how do you add the drink you want on the app?

    It is fries and a drink, I upgraded my fries to their onion rings for the price difference and it is amazing. I guess you leave a note what kind of drink you need

    Is all your meat Hand Slaughtered Zabiha Halal +unstunned? Thanks a bunch!

    Don't bring the coupon you just received a day prior-+-no expiration date but not honored. Thanks for the hospitality

    What is an accurate menu for pricing? The Gourmet Burgers website, DoorDash, Yelp photos and Yelp menu all have different prices by a wide margin

    Menu prices in yelp pictures are accurate pricing
