Our first visit. Burger Lounge is our "go-to" burger place but this is better. Service was excellent - very friendly and help right from the front door. Ambiance was somewhat neutral - quiet enough - lot's of people very busy behind the counter. Clean restrooms, and tables. Quality of the food was outstanding - sweet potato fries cooked perfectly. A Mooyah cheese burger made perfectly - meat cooked just right, lettuce and tomatoes and pickles just the way I like it with some dressing that seemed like thousands island - my favorite - and a very thin and good-tasting bun. Excellent quality beyond anything I've had anywhere. Thanks for a great experience. Two people eating well for $25 is a real exceptional deal nowadays. read more

Mooyah is a place I like overall, but I wish I could like it more. I like the freshness and customization of the burgers. It kind of reminds me of Five Guys, but the meat tastes fresher and more grass-fed, it does not feel as overpriced, and there are more options for cheeses and toppings. I also like the surprisingly generous portions of fried potatoes, whether you get the French fries or potato chips. I only have one big issue with Mooyah, though: they oversalt the hell out of the fried potatoes. It is especially bad with the homemade potato chips, which really sucks because I can tell they are homemade. Unfortunately, when I order online, I do not have the option to request no salt. This is frustrating because I like to control my sodium intake, and I do not get any real say in how much salt is put on my potatoes. I clearly get an overload of salt whenever I eat fried potatoes here. Otherwise, I like this spot. I just have to be prepared to get a small size of fried potatoes for my body's sake, sodium-wise. read more

Saw the good reviews and decided to give this place a try and thank goodness we did! The place is small but the food was delicious. Everything was so flavorful.

MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes - Their turkey burger special - Burgers Near Me - Irvine, California

I visited out of curiosity after a flyer was delivered to my home. There was a wide variety of burgers, but since it was my first visit, I ordered a cheeseburger; I also ordered the French fries-highlighted as being made from Idaho potatoes-and a milkshake for dipping them in. The cheeseburger was delicious, with a juicy patty that didn't feel greasy, though the fillings kept slipping out while I ate, making it a bit difficult to manage. The hand-cut fries varied in shape and size; while the texture was a bit limp, they tasted good. The milkshake was tasty, but it was too thick for dipping the limp fries. While not everything was perfect, the food overall was better than I had expected. read more

Great burger joint in the heart of Irvine! Upon entering, the establishment is typical of a fast-casual food joint, with a small storefront and a good amount of tables to seat parties of varying sizes. Their menu is easy to read with options galore, from different types of smash burgers to even vegan options (very surprised to see this). Upon entering the establishment, you can expect to order and receive your food relatively quickly. I got the Mooyah burger and a side of fries. The fries were crispy and paired well with the burger. The burger was pleasant, savory, and plentiful. It definitely scratched my itch on smash-burgers. I will definitely be returning for another smash-burger soon! Highly recommend to those in the area looking for a solid spot on smash-burgers! read more

The burgers are excellent, and the fries are out of this world. They are cut from fresh potatoes, with skins, and the flavor is unbelievable. It's also one of the few places that offers malt vinegar. I used the restroom before I left and I have to say it is THE CLEANEST Restaurant ladies' room I have ever used. read more

It was my first time here and wow I'm so impressed. You see so many burger joints and rarely any good ones in Irvine, but wow this one is a banger! Was recommended to try the MDC since it was my first time and wowww so impressed. Not only the food is great, location is convenient and the service is impeccable. Javier helped with the order recommendations and he was very informative ! The kitchen staff, Ray did such a phenomenal job on putting the burgers together in a timely manner! It was a great experience on the food and the staffs definitely added the touch for us to come back again! Thanks Javier and Ray! read more

Mooyah is our spot when we're craving a burger that's a cut above the competition! The service is fast and friendly, in a clean casual environment. You can choose from their stock offerings, or build your own burger. Today I chose a single patty on their fresh artisan bun, with cheddar cheese and Mooyah sauce. Simple and delicious. On the side, I got the personal French fries, cooked perfectly in fresh oil with a side of ranch. To top it off. I opted for the Little Moo Strawberry Shake. Voila! A perfect lunch. Enjoy! read more

Tried Moohaw Burgers after seeing it on a "Top Burgers in OC" list. It's in the same parking lot as a McDonald's, so people can easily vote with their feet and their wallet -- and honestly, Moohaw's the clear upgrade. I got the bacon burger (skipped the fries... painful calorie choice because they looked perfectly crispy). The burger was fresh, medium-sized, and sat right between fast food and a sit down restaurant burger. Clean inside, friendly service, quick turnaround. Now I've got about 90 minutes on the treadmill to burn it off -- and yeah, it was kinda worth it. read more

Came here because they offered coupons to the local area. It's an order at the counter, wait, and go pick it up kind of place (like In n Out). They have great options and a lot of seating (indoors and outdoors). I was mildly full already that night but I still wanted to try a bite or two or their burgers... somehow I inhaled 2/3 of a burger (cheeseburger) before I knew it was- it was amazing! I will say I preferred it to the mushroom one. read more

Since it was double cheeseburger day, I thought I'd try a place I haven't been to. MOOYAH was my choice. I ordered the indulgence burger with chips and an Oreo shake. The burger was a double bacon cheeseburger with fried shoestring onion. The burger was really good. I liked ther onions. The chips are homemade and fried yum. The shake was so thick, that's why you get a fat straw. I love and thick shake. Service here is very good. Everyone was friendly. I could tell the manager runs a tight ship and cares about keeping everything clean. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

OK paid 19 dollars for a double cheeseburger fries and a drink. This was 2 steps down from a Del Taco Double Del. The hamburger ZERO flavor. NONE. The bun was so suagy also from the dressing they put on while it sits when cooking the ZERO FLAVORED BURGER. Fries were just as bad no flavor and greasy saugy as a loaf of bread dipped in water. I can say one good thing the Barqs Rootbeer was spot on. read more

Mooyah is my hubby's favorite burger place. We always go to the Culver location. Burgers are always made fresh and their chips and sweet potato fries are delicious compared to everywhere else we've tried. Just try is the campfire burger. Staff is always friendly and service is fast. read more

Delicious hamburger juicy and very fresh . I love everything in this restaurant French fries yummy .

Mooyah has been my number 1 burger spot since I first discovered it 5 years ago. I was a regular at another location until they recently closed down. Luckily, there is this one located near my workplace. My go to order is usually a BYO Burger and personal fries. My BYO burger always consists of tomato, lettuce, grilled onions, onions, and mooyah sauce on a potato bun. This place makes them just as good as the other location. I love the softness of the buns and the meatiness of the smashed patty. The best part is their fries though. $3.99 for a mountain of thick handcut fries. They are crispy and seasoned well. Overall, this place fills the void left by the closure of their other location. I am happy I can still enjoy the food here, although only during days that I can take a lunch break out during work. read more

This is my new favorite burger place. I'm a vegetarian so I can't tell you how the normal burgers are but the people I took here seem to like them. I normally don't like black bean burgers but they do a pretty good job of it. I really like the fries and the shareable size is pretty big of a portion. The staff are always so friendly and provide pretty quick service. The ambiance is fun and they have wireless chargers around which is convenient. read more

This place is quite good and the prices are not bad either. Show me the MOOYAH! Speaking of which, we tried the Mooyah, which is their cheeseburger with fresh baked potato bun and their Best Quesonario, a spicy jalapeño burger, and added pepper jack cheese for an extra fee since this burger did not come with cheese. I don't eat spicy, but I actually preferred the Best Quesonario over the MOOYAH burger. The MOOYAH burger had way too much sauce. I did like that the 1/4 lb patties came straight off the grill and were very juicy and high quality. Their personal size fries were really big! Surprisingly, I liked the French fries even though they didn't look that appealing lol. The fries still have their skins, and are thicker cut. I preferred the SWEET POTATO FRIES. In N Out is still my favorite, but this place is a slightly more loaded version. I look forward to trying their ice cream shakes, which come in 8 flavors! Yum. Happy eating! read more

I've had Mooyah a few times now and every time I go, I ask myself why I don't go more often! Burgers are always fresh, french fry portions are huge, service is quick, and pricing is great. Be sure to download the app before to get one of their welcome deals and to rack up loyalty points. I ordered "The Low Cal" without cholula (beef patty, avocado, diced onions, tomato) and shared a "shareable" fries. I really enjoyed it! The french fry portion was huge, we were joking and saying it felt like we ordered bottomless fries because no matter how much we ate, there was still a ton left! read more

Vibe was super welcoming right away. I usually don't tip at a place like this but I felt obligated to because everyone was very nice. After ordering the food got brought to our table. Right away the fries were super hot, flavorful, and crispy. Stands out from other places. The shareable size was plenty for two, and we took some leftovers. The burger was really delicious! Theres crispy onions that add a nice texture. There's a lot of butter/mayo that was good at first but became a little overwhelming. The potato buns (my favorite) were the perfect texture and are baked in house! The meat was perfect, crispy and flavorful. Not dry at all. Overall would only take the star away for the overly fatty butter/mayo because it got too soaked into the bun after a few minutes, but it would be 4.5/5 if I could! read more

1st timer here I tried the BBQ Hamburger & my Oh my is it good. Seriously this is gourmet Hamburger at its best. Perfect BBQ sauce tastes amazing. They use very good quality ingredients I can tell on how it tastes & I feel light not solid or stuff like other typical hamburger joints I was very lucky they gave me extra fries as well. Service was great & very comfortable environment. I'm definitely coming here & I'll bring my family to try. Highly recommended.! read more

MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes - This is probably the best BBQ Hamburger I've ever had.! Simple but taste is good.! - Burgers Near Me - Irvine, California

Mooyah has grown from a single location in Plano, Texas, in 2007 to over 100 locations, including a half-dozen in Southern California. I'll use one word to describe their burgers: quality. They take great pride in using fresh beef, fresh vegetables, and carefully selected toppings. I prefer their simpler burgers, especially the Cheeseburger. While perhaps not entirely accurate, I think this burger was a more mature version of an In-n-Out burger. Both are fresh and tasty, but the Mooyah Cheeseburger packed a little more bulk into the burger. The Mushroom Swiss Burger came in a close second, with fewer veggies but with mushrooms and fried onion ring strips. The other burgers were of comparable quality but were a little messier because of the increased number of toppings. The MDC (Mooyah Double Cheeseburger) and Double Diablo were both great, but you'll probably need to wash your hands afterward. Other burger combinations like a Vegan Burger, Paleo, Keto, and Low Cal are pretty much as you would expect based on their names. The shake I had, Mint Chocolate Chip, was solid. I'm glad the straw was sturdy and large, making drinking/eating the shake much easier. The people working here have always been very polite. The area inside is clean. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center parking lot. I would like to see Mooyah continue its expansion to the west and southwest side of the Los Angeles as I think they should be able to easily compete with other burger contenders. read more

We've recently been in a burger kick an wanted to try a smaller chain. We came across Mooyah here on yelp and decided to give it a try. The service was average, nothing bad but nothing amazing. No complaints regarding service. The kitchen was visible, so we were able to see how fresh our food was and watched our burgers being cooked and assembled. We got two Mooyah Cheeseburgers, some fries, and an Oreo shake. The burgers were solid, a little small, but delicious. The fries and shake were great. We will definitely be coming back to try some other things on the menu. The restaurant was very cute and had a good amount of seating. Its proximity to the University and dessert spots make it a really nice place for dinner. read more

We came here on a Tuesday evening. Parking was adequate. The restaurant was clean. Since they had an open food prep area, you could see that where your food was made was clean and neat. Our order was taken at the counter by a friendly and helpful young lady. We seated ourselves and waited a short time for our order which was delivered to our table. I had the mushroom Swiss burger with a personal order of fries. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The fries were excellent. They were hot, crispy and plentiful. It may be presented as an individual order but it is a shareable quantity. She had the Full Count dog and really enjoyed it. It was a pretty big portion so she decided to take half home. The friendly staff provided her with take out container. It appears that you bus your own tables when you are finished with your meal. However, the same courteous person that took our order also cleared our table before we left. All in all a very good experience. Good food and excellent service at a fair price. The atmosphere is ok for a burger place. Quiet with lots of images of cows. Go figure. I would gladly return and sample something else from the menu. read more

Had heard about this place before, but never had been. My buddy had been once or twice, and recommended it. Came here for lunch on Tuesday. I went with the A-Wonderful Burger, fries and a drink. Download their App! Free burger up to $12.00. Only had to pay for fries and a drink! Score! Really generous new app deal! How was the food? Fantastic! A-Wonderful Burger- Double cheeseburger with bacon, grilled onions and A1 Sauce. This thing was fantastic! 1/2lb burger, greasy, but great quality beef. Perfectly melted cheese, soft onions, tang of the A1 sauce. Damn fine burger and one of the best burgers I have had in awhile! Fries- Hand cut, fresh fries. Delicious! Perfectly salted! Very similar to 5 Guys fries, but better. Not super crispy, but not soggy either. They were great! Service was friendly! Would definitely come back here when I visit my buddy in Irvine. Really enjoyed my meal, even if it would have cost full price. Factor in the new customer App discount, this was a steal for a great meal! read more

Would return, had to pick up order, was ready when I got there. Ordered the double diablo, very filling.

Writing this while on the car ride home. Immediately greeted with a friendly smile upon entering! They were all very patient with my first-timer questions and when we needed to switch our order to To-Go. Entertained our toddler with the huge chalk board near the soda machine while we waited (which wasn't long). We ordered the MDC and mushroom swiss after reading the other reviews. Can't say anything about flavor as we haven't gotten to eat it yet, but it sure smells great. read more
