As it says in the name, it's a nice burger! We stopped in on our way back to the airport, and it was really nice to be able to get a tasty vegan burger! My husband and I both got their fried chicken sandwiches, and I got fries with mine. The fries were just okay, but the sandwich was tasty and satisfying for both of us. The location was clean and well kept when we were there, and as we were there between lunch and dinner, there weren't many other diners, so that was pleasant. The workers are friendly but not super interactive (you order via kiosk), so that can be a plus if you're not feeling chatty. It's not the most convenient location for non-locals (it would be so nice to have this within walking distance of Disneyland or other area attractions for tourists/visitors like us), but I imagine it's great for the local folks. We were in the area for my husband's work conference, and we don't travel to this area for much else, so I don't anticipate being back, but if we do, I would probably try to work in a stop here. It was pretty good! read more

Nice Burger - Fried Chicken sandwich with fries! Nice! - Burgers Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Love this place! So sad the one near my house closed down last year but I periodically drive out to this one when I need to get my burger/chicken tenders fix/animal friendly fries. Not a fan of the nuggets though- the tenders are delicious, get those instead. Sweet potato fries are solid. Service is good and there is plenty of seating to dine inside. Ambiance is like a diner, I love all the local vegan restaurants listed on their wall!!! Going to try to fish sandwich next. read more

absolutely obsessed with nice burger but specifically this location because of its hours. it's hard to find a good plant based burger conveniently, so i'm happy to have this one on my roster. it's convenient when you're hungry late at night since they're open later than any other locations i've seen. despite living closer to the irvine one, this is why i always go to the santa ana one. it's usually not too busy if you come later in the evening, but you do risk them running out of certain items (ahem, chicken nugs). the workers are always very friendly and quick to get you your order. i love to order their "chicken" nuggets (when they still have them) and their mexicali burger. i did switch up my order recently and tried the bbq bacon cheeseburger though and it was just as delicious. my boyfriend really likes their spicy chicken sandwiches, so it's easily become a late-night meal staple option. i also like that they have a drive thru. we usually go in to order or we will place it ahead of time so that it's ready by the time we get there, but sometimes when i have gone after work, the drive thru is a great option. i won't lie, it can definitely pile on the wallet but it's worth knowing i can eat anything on the menu--and they have a LOT on the menu. overall, it's definitely a favorite plant-based burger spot of mine! read more

I have been craving burgers for so long and as someone who doesn't eat beef or pork it's hard to find a good spot. I've been looking for a vegan burger place for a while and this is the place. Went here on Sunday and there was no wait. I got the Nice Burger (minus mayo and cheese) and it was fantastic. My boyfriend still eats meat and said the burger was amazing and tasted similar to beef burgers. We also ordered the fries and they were great as well. We did dine in and the tables were so cute and had that classic diner vibe to it. There is also a drive through option. The service was nice and we were able to order from a kiosk at the front and take our time looking at the options. The price was a little high but that is usually the price for vegan food so it was understandable. I would definitely come here again. read more

Nice Burger - NICE BURGER - Burgers Near Me - Santa Ana, California

It was fine, I am not a vegan, but the fam wanted it, so I went along. It tasted like an OK normal burger. There was nothing that screamed vegan about it, but it wasn't some awesome burger. The sweet potatoes fries needed to be a bit crapier, and I didn't appreciate having to pay for the sauces. Overall, an OK but expensive burger read more

It's just so good- every time!!! It's to the point that my husband and I crave Nice Burger. The burgers are really something. Who cares that they are vegan. If they taste great, then why not? The BBQ bacon cheeseburger is a good go-to if you don't know what to try. Skip the bacon though. It comes with an onion ring and bbq sauce. I like to add pineapple to it. It's sweet and salty! Yum! 10/10 The shakes are great! I love the chocolate shake. It's creamy and filling. 10/10 My husband loves the chicken sandwich. He gets that every time. It's one of his favorites. I've tried the chicken patty and it is very good. 10/10 Try the chili cheese fries or tots. Very good! Hearty and delicious. Or you can order the fries or tots animal style. It tastes just like In N Out. Seriously great! 10/10 Service is always good. They make the food pretty fast! Ingredients are usually fresh. 10/10 Ambiance wise, I wouldn't know. I've only done the drive through or ordered for delivery. read more

Good size portions, they're large which helps for a $21 meal. I got the mushroom burger and got sweet potato fries. Everything tasted fresh and good. The bun kinda got soggy but overall it was good. I did wait for a bit in the drive thru but I like that my food was fresh. I do like coming once in awhile to grab a Vegan option. Just wondering if impossible meat is used, it's not my favorite due to all its GMO ingredients. read more

I always stop by when in Santa Ana. Food is always amazing. Service was friendly and curious. Ambiance was off a little. The air cooler was blasting on me. I moved tables and that fixed the problem. The was classical music with a Chinese Chanel on the large television. I wish it had subtitles so I new what was happening. I keep coming back because I love the food and the mission behind nice guys. read more

Excellent vegan burgers and fries! In a small-ish establishment is a vegan menu that will blow your mind! I had the Junior Nice Burger which was served on a soft bun with lettuce, tomato and Thousand Island sauce. It was a perfect few-bites lunch. The sweet potato fries were so crisp they snapped! Not greasy just delicious especially when dipped in a kicky barbecue sauce. read more

Food is great. Service is a hit or miss. Ambiance is chill, a little boring, but chill I guess. Food takes a min, but it's worth it I'd say!

Honestly this is the LEAST friendly business I have been to! I personally don't eat here, but my vegan friend loves the food so I go weekly. They never smile, they never acknowledge me even though i go weekly for the same order. The maintenance on this place is also terrible. There's flowers growing out of the pavement and out of the roof. And they have this huge sinkhole right in front of the drive-through which today would have been very dangerous if somebody had driven over it. I placed an order online, Waight waited in the drive-through for at least 10 minutes then decided to back out and go in to get my food not one person even acknowledged me! The food might be good, but the service sucks !! read more

This used to be my go to vegan burger spot in OC, with many great experiences previously (food and service), however in the last several months I've had poor experiences with both. There's an older Mexican lady, younger Mexican girl and younger Mexican guy and they look/could be related. They always seem to be working the same shift and that's when all the issues I have had seem to occur. A long time ago an Asian guy (owner?) worked at the same time but rarely were there issues. However when these three are on their own (which is often), it's like they're just killing time for a paycheck and couldn't be bothered to be friendly, or pay attention to what they're supposed to do. They make mistakes often (particularly the young Mexican guy) and they act annoyed when you bring it up to correct it. I've gotten chicken tenders that you can see the fingerprints on like they just squeezed some play doh - disgusting. They also don't know how to process a refund after they've messed up, so I'm just supposed to eat the cost of the mistake? This could be avoided if they just confirmed the order at the window prior to payment, but I guess that's too much extra to do. I was always tipping before because I wanted to support a vegan business but I realized I'm just paying more for non-vegans to make crappy food and make mistakes and since my tips don't go to the business, that ends today. If I were a vegan business owner, I'd be pissed to know that my non-vegan slacker employees were running it into the ground. It hurts to avoid supporting a vegan business but this is what it may have to result in. *ATTENTION: Nice Burger Owners, PLEASE deal with these employees if you because your quality and service is suffering badly! read more

Good food! Don't let the "vegan food" worry you. This is tasty AND healthy. You won't know the difference! I had the breakfast sandwich. Highly recommended. read more

Love when a fast food place has a drive-thru. Breakfast burritos/sandwiches, burgers, chicken tenders, fish sandwiches, milkshakes...all of it is vegan! We typically order two items: one for now and then the 2nd for the next meal because the craving is no joke. The burgers can be cut in half for just one meal with their side of fries or tater tots. Just thinking of any burger makes my mouth salivate. Warning: the cost is astronomical. Staff is decent most of the time. A few times read back the wrong order or gave us the incorrect food/drink. Big downside at this Nice Burger is their tapioca straw will crack and renders it utterly useless; they should rethink it but need to test it themselves before execution. Sometimes it's entertaining when you're first in the drive-thru because you might witness some action across the street. read more

Great food and great staff the animal style fries are bomb!!! I wish I would've found this place earlier but better late than never !!!!!

I'm so grateful for this 100% vegan food stop since I was coming down the coast from a roadtrip! The service is on point. I didn't know what I wanted, the cashier was patient and pointed out the best sellers. Despite it being on the pricier side, it's worth it for the taste and quality of each item. I ordered the Orig Nice Burger, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, tater tots and a shake! There is a drive thru which is convenient but I needed to stretch my legs, inside was clean and not busy, I came on a weekday around 7pm. Bathrooms are kept clean and humorous, the sign in the bathroom made me lol. Highly recommend trying Nice Burger when you're in the area or on a roadtrip! read more

Oh, wow. Easily the best vegan burgers I have had outside of the epic ones we love to make at home. We got the Big Guy burger and The Mainlander burger, and they were both a 10/10. There truly isn't anything I'd change about our orders! Tons of flavor, cooked perfectly, saucy and drippy (just how a burger should be), and the sweet potato fries were insanely good. Amazing job, Nice Burger. read more

Having been wanting to visit this restaurant for some time, I was excited when hubby and I finally got a chance to stop by. Upon driving up, I was impressed by the large "Nice Burger" sign as well as the 100% Vegan noted under the sign. Although they also offer drive-thru, we decided to do dine in for our first visit. As we entered the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by employees and asked if we had any questions. Hubby asked about whether their meat contained nuts (since hubby has severe nut allergy) and was told that they Beyond burger. After utilizing their self serve kiosk, I ordered a combo with their breakfast burger, animal style fries, and a soda while hubby ordered a combo with their grilled shroom burger and chili cheese tater tots. Our food was quickly delivered to our table by an employee who regularly checked if the food was satisfactory. The burgers were hot and delicious and the fries were crispy and cheesy. The overall restaurant atmosphere is chill with the combination of smoothies Jazz playing in the background along with a big screen TV showing a display of a comfortable room with a fireplace. Following our delicious meal and having such friendly service, we definitely plan to visit again the next time we are in the area. read more

We were here an hour before closing time ....it was a recommendation for a meetup dinner. The staff were friendly, and shop's ambiance is really nice. They have a nice decor as well. They have Burgers, Chicken Burgers, Fish Sandwich, Kids Menu, Desserts, Stubborn Drinks, and variety side dishes. They serve breakfast food items as well. Ordered 2 -Nice Burger - Cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mayonnaise, ketchup with Sweet Potatoe Fries and Draft Cola. The fries were cooked with Rice Bran oil. It was burned or overcooked. 1 -BIG GUY BURGER - Cheese, Lettuce, Onions, Pickles, Thousand Island with Potato Taters and Stubborn Pink Lemonade. Tater Tots tasted good. It is fried with Rice Bran oil. This burger is similar to Big Mac. 1 - Grandma's Famous Organic Carrot Cake - It was good flavor and sweetness was perfect. Our first vegan protein was BEYOND brand was over 5 years ago. If you love Beyond patties, you will love these burgers. They also have Gardein burgers as well. Gluten free burgers are available at this restaurant. Check their website. Overall, the food was okay because we are not used to Beyond texture taste. The first couple bites taste really good, but meat overtook the flavor of the burger. We personally like Impossible burger more. I hope this restaurant can add Impossible meat in the near future. read more

I'm not a vegan, but found Nice Burger while in the neighborhood and gave them a try. I most love the tots with their version of an animal style sauce inspired by In-N-Out and all the flavors were there, plus the tots were crispy on the outside and soft/hot on the inside. My buffalo ranch sandwich was pretty good. I didn't experience much spiciness and felt the sandwich could have had more crunch. The chicken wings were nice, tender, and savory. I wouldn't mind eating here again. The next time I order a spicy sandwich, I'll definitely add jalapenos. read more

Need that grease? Just craving something not particularly healthy for you? This place is where you need to go. We tried three different foods, the animal fries, breakfast sandwich, and the buffalo ranch burger. All three were delicious and incredibly filling. The two workers were running the lobby, drive thru, and still managed to check in with us to see how we were doing. Crazy friendly service, great food, and a divey style to it; I would 100% recommend this place for a heavy morning breakfast or a burger! Can't wait to come back. read more

If you are looking for a dedicated Vegan/Vegetarian Burger place and want to support an awesome small business this is a great choice! This place is located literally next to Wendy's so has plenty of parking and seating. The place is really all self service with kiosk to order at. The entire menu is vegan with a wide selection of burgers, chicken sandos, fish sando, and some tenders and nuggets. They do make all of there ingredients and sauces so no its not Beyond or Impossible! The burger patties and all the vegan meats in general are super tasty and taste like the real thing! The texture and flavor profile are spot on! The workers are also super friendly and chill if you have any questions or concerns. They do have a few locations throughout OC too if you're looking for a closer location. The favorites so far have been the chicken nuggets and cali burger. The Cali Burger really taste like an Big Mac ish type of burger! The thousand island sauce on there is delicious but even more creamy with the guac and crispy vegan bacon so good! Oh and note there side orders of fries are HUGE! They are super generous on the portion sizes and cook them well so they are super crispy! Perfect for sharing! We've been here a few times and even brought our vegan/vegetarian friends before that all approve. Even the most strict vegan friend gave their approval so you know its legit! Until next time! read more

I ordered a breakfast burrito with no mushrooms or onions. The guy taking the order said it doesn't come with mushrooms yet on the sign it says mushrooms listed in the ingredients. I again specified no mushrooms. I get the burrito and what does it have...you guessed it mushrooms. The review gets low stars because the order was wrong, the order took a long time, and the burrito is on the pricey side. read more

This is one of the best burger places, whether it's vegan or not. The chicken nuggets taste better than McDonald's. The burgers are as good as In-N-Out's. I've yet to try the shakes and ice cream here, but I will try them soon. Other than that, everything's good. The restaurant is a little grimy, but food-wise, it's five stars read more

Very good! I love stopping by here on my way up to see family and it never disappoints! Well priced vegan food & very tasty!

Wow. Seems to have gone down lately. Quality isn't as good anymore and playing g loud rap music

First of all YUM. Top 5 vegan burgers I've had and it's right up there with Monty's (if not better). I got the shroom burger and the tater tot's ... BEST TOTS IVE EVER HAD. Tasted like McDonalds has browns but better. My new go-to read more

I have been here multiple times and it is scrumptious! Every time I go I get the Spicy Chicken sandwich. The vegan chicken and chipotle mayo are delicious! The last vegan chicken sandwich I had that was this good was Native Foods, which sadly closed all their CA locations! They also have a great chocolate milkshake! But I had to leave this review after trying the bbq bacon cheeseburger. I haven't gotten any of their burgers because that's just more common and that spicy chicken is just so darn good, but danged if that burger didn't beat all! It was fantastic! Even the vegan cheese, which I normally hate. The place is pricy and a little slow, but jt is worth it for both. Also, the workers are always super nice and friendly and have never gotten my order wrong (which is rare for drive throughs). read more

5 stars for having a vegan option for the fast foodies! My boyfriend says he is not sure he would go out of his way to go back to this place but that's probably just because it's vegan. You know men, they gotta have their meat! I personally would love to be vegan and eat at this place daily. 5 stars to the staff for giving us plenty of help deciding what to order at this new restaurant. They educated us what "vegan" meant and I told them I am a RDN so I am the nutrition expert excited to give this vegan fast food place a try. 5 stars for having "normal" fast food options turned vegan. There's everything from "hamburgers" to "fish filets". This breakfast burger we ordered was outstanding with tater tots added in - yum! Also, the sweet potato fries gave us a healthy dose of disease-fighting Vitamin A. They had a healthy version of soda pop. The interior is super clean. The exterior could use some sprucing up to attract more people to open their mind to plant-based eating. read more

Paired this with the sweet potato fries which were dece but tbh their regular fries are tastier! SERVICE: pretty fast. They are friendly and let you know about recs they have! PARKING: decent amount of parking in the front. PRICE: good for a burger spot! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Nice Burger and I would come back! read more

It's definitely overpriced but come on. It's a drive-through vegan burger place that has multiple locations. Of course I'm going to Support. They started adding more options so I always try the new things just to try them out. I love getting a soft serve here and the little shake. Although one thing they are missing is coffee in the morning. How are you going to expect me to get a breakfast sandwich with no coffee? read more

So, I was with a co-worker running errands in Santa Ana and meeting with a client. I'm a huge carnivore and she is vegan and extremely accommodating when choosing places to eat. As we were driving back to our last listing appt, we passed this place with the great big sign. What caught my eye was what appeared to be an old school mom and pop with a huge sign highlighting Burger and I was craving a spicy cheese burger. Then I saw 100% vegan and my cravings were dashed but, I offered to drive through so she could try it. When we got the to retro style menu, she was like a kid in a candy shop looking at all of the fast food style vegan options and couldn't decide what to choose. Sitting there waiting for what felt like an eternity, I decided to order here as I was becoming pretty hungry. I thought to myself, "how bad can a plant based burger with plant based cheese be?" Then I thought of some bad experiences I had but decided to order anyways. I was expecting my Jalapeño burger to be just ok but, was extremely disturbed and pleasantly surprised to actually start craving more of the burger as I was consuming it. That was one really good effin burger! Moments before the nice gentleman at the window, Don, asked who was the meat eater and who was the vegan and we disclosed it to him. We had a brief conversation on converting me to being a vegan and I said "not going to happen, as I love my almost raw steaks". I have to eat my words now after I ate their food as if I can find a place like this close to home with the flavor of this burger, I think I could change. Half the calories of the burger I was going to buy at a normal beef place and my body probably thanks me for not adding more cholesterol today. Huge thumbs up and I hope they open one in LA soon. read more
