    cooked in tallow!!! so great
    Hiroshi S.

    Just ate here with a couple other guys, and we crushed these burgers. My boy piled a handful of the fries onto the patties and smashed them in there: so good! Great parking, clean bathrooms, super busy, but FAST and thoughtful: the manager came around the counter and came and asked me, "are you the gentleman who asked about dairy in the buns?" and let me know the sourdough is safe. They also didn't blink when I noticed they buttered the bread, and toasted new bread dry. Ambiance is nice, music is chill and good. In n Out wishes they could

    I was excited to try this place as the non seed oil and beef tallow "healthier" burger option but the price and size just can't justify the hefty price point for a decent burger. All burgers have a smash patty and are good but nothing impressive. It was $13 dollars for a double double which was not even that big. Best option is the SMASH burger and I liked it without pickles to emphasize the butteriness of the burger. The beef tallow fries were ok but nothing special. I will say I felt pretty light after so maybe the better ingredients did do something but I did crave another burger and felt it defeated the purpose. It was good but fell short from my high expectation.

    It's good quality ingredients, but I can't really recommend a burger, fires and a Coke for 30 bucks ordered off a touch screen. Got a double burger which still was small and fries which were pretty mushy, but fried in beef tallow so you can feel better about them. Seating is rough inside nice outside but nice outside. It's the old Taco Maria spot, so a pleasant place to chat and watch the goings on. Service at pickup was relatively quick with a large bag. It's fine, but so is In and Out which is a third the price.

    Came by to check out during lunch hour with a few colleagues. Ordering is straight forward since it's off a tablet. You're able to make adjustments to your liking. Interior and aesthetic was cool with the white and blue/green colors. Got to try a side of fries and a double grilled smash. You can taste the difference in how the fries are prepped. As for the burger, it tasted decent. It did leave me wanting to eat more. Maybe because it was lunch rush, the quality was not as good as I hoped for. Pricing for items was another reason for the best review. Nonetheless, cool establishment to checkout and try.

    After seeing on social media, this burger place uses grass fed organic beef, no seed oils and organic options, I was curious. It's in a really cute area called OC Mix. Beautiful patio area to sit. The restaurant is very simple, order at a keypad, orders are grilled to order. We ordered the smash burger and the sourdough burger plus fries. The sourdough burger was excellent. Double patty with grilled onions and cheese, sauce. The smash burger was ok, it wasn't the best I've had. The French fries were very good. I would come back for the sourdough melt, and maybe try the smash burger but as a double patty. I would recommend coming here, I'll be back, I want to try a couple of other options too.

    I found Palms & Patties on TikTok and expected something amazing, but it didn't quite deliver. The location felt odd, kind of tucked away, and the vibe was off as soon as we walked in. No greeting, no welcome, just five guys behind the counter chatting. There was only one kiosk for orders, and no one actively helping. We waited about five minutes just to place an order, and even another customer commented on how inefficient it was. Seating wasn't great either. The tables were small and not ideal for groups. We had to grab an extra chair ourselves. When the food finally came, the burger was tasty but super greasy, and it didn't fill me up. I'd need a double or triple next time, which isn't ideal. The food was decent, but the service and experience were lacking.

    Love the tallow fries! The texture and flavor are wonderful. The burger itself is also very good, I wish the patty had a bit more meat so I'd have to get a double next time if I want to feel full. As a first timer I didn't realize we just place order ourselves at the little cash register kiosk thing and was just standing there stupidly, wondering why none of the staff would turn around. Someone behind me clued me in, annoyed, and jumped in front of me since it appeared I was taking too long. Maybe make any signage about how to order so big you can't miss it? I didn't see anything around me indicating how to order :( Weird that it's in a food court for a furniture shopping area. Beautiful design of outdoor area, but also felt really...I don't know the word for it...sterile? Lacking warmth? Anyway, the food is worth coming back for if we happen to be in the area.

    Lettuce Wrapped triple organic everything

    Totally worth the hype! Usually when I eat burgers and fries I feel like crap after from the onslaught of seed oils and calories. At Palms n' Patties it's like I had a kale salad and beet juice smoothie. Even though I had a burger and fries lol. Ordering could not be easier. Kiosk system, super easy to understand. The staff were friendly and asked if we needed any help. Seating is ample on the patio and the shopping center is MASSIVE with 20 higher end furniture stores and restaurants. Prices are higher because you're getting a higher quality product. I have no problem paying more for grass-fed organic beef, organic cheddar and fries cooked in beef tallow. If you think it's too expensive then it's too expensive for you. Your car payment is $800/mo but clean food is too much, right. Best French fries in OC hands down. I would come back here just to eat a huge order of fries. They were absolutely cooked a perfect perfection and didn't give me any of the seed oil inflammatory feeling after I've been dreaming about these fries since I had them. You can't really screw up burgers, and these Smashburger's were excellent with grilled onions and organic cheddar cheese. I got mine lettuce wrapped. 9.7/10, best of the best. I can't wait come back.

    Costa Mesa, Ca. The Burger here is ok, nothing great. The paper thin patty is pretty much overwhelmed by the bun and sauce. The sauce provided the flavor, even the jalapeños did little to add. The burger is served up in a disposable carton that is kind of sterile looking and offered up a poor presentation, but who cares, right? I had trouble with the kiosk when ordering. The people working here do not interact to assist. A kind person in line helped but he had trouble with a step necessary to continue also. Not really old people friendly. The seating is outside in a patio area which has a vibe like a corporate campus lunch area, minus the Corn Hole platforms.

    We went here to check out what all the hype was about. I had super high hopes because it really looked good on all the Instagram reviews. So when we showed up there was a long line so make sure you're not super hungry. When you place your order you'll be placing it on a kiosk. We were a little confused because there were no signs as to where to order but figured it out. When we finally got our food the order was wrong we ordered 2 burgers plain and 2 burgers with no onions. We got 4 burgers with everything on them . When I went up to let them know the order was wrong they were a tad rude and said I needed to wait longer. I didn't take offense because they were super busy and my family is in the service industry so I understand the pressure. Since I didn't want to wait because the kids were also starving I told them I would just pick it off. The fries were ok, I didn't think it was special. The burgers were also small for the price in my opinion! I ordered a double patty and it seemed like it was only a single patty . I really wanted to like this place but for the trouble and price I don't think I'll be coming back.

    I heard about their organic grass-fed beef smash burgers cooked with no seed oils and am happy that they totally lived up to the hype. I was worried that the line would be crazy long since we were there at noon on a Sunday but the line actually started after we placed our order. You self-order at the tablet and there is only 1 tablet. The burgers look smaller since they are smash-style burgers but are actually very filling. The PnP fries fried in beef tallow are so unique. Their housemade aioli really shines in the fries as you can taste it even more than you can in the burger. We opted for Parmesan for the cheese topping and the whole thing solidifies into a sheet on top of the fries. Next time, if there is no line, I would want to try ordering the fries after we finish our burgers to enjoy the fries while they are fresh and still hot. The nice aesthetics of the OC mix really contributes to a nice ambience when eating here. There is seating on their store patio outside and a couple small tables inside. There is a courtyard with a water fountain right outside it with other tables as well. There is a restroom inside the adjoining food court area with one restroom per gender so lines could be long when it's the lunch rush time. This was definitely worth the visit!

    They are located at Soco and have indoor and outdoor seating. The service was nice because they greeted you and asked if I had any questions. I ordered through the kiosk. For the burger I opted for the 2 patties. It was my first time eating a smash burger and it tasted good and crispy. However the price is quite pricey for a burger but they do use grass fed beef. They also package your burger in a bag. There was also a few people ahead of me and I thought the food came out at a reasonable time. Overall, it was a nice experience.

    Cheeseburger, Grilled Smash, Fresh Hand-Cut Fries, and Pn'P Fries (NEW)
    Spencer S.

    Right in the middle of SOCO shopping center. Order at the register - seems like on an iPad (or online in advance like we did). Indoor and outdoor seating in a casual atmosphere. Minimal staff interaction. We tried the cheeseburger, smash burger, fries, and PNP fries (acronym for their name), which comes with cheese and sauce on them. Everything was great! Not the biggest quantities, but you can taste the quality. Small menu - we got nearly all of their food offerings. The two other burgers cost nearly twice as much, so we skipped them. Cost us mid $30s with tax and small tip as of Mar 2026.

We waited an extremely long time for our food, and there was very little communication or sense of urgency from the staff. Despite the long wait, the food came out looking rushed and poorly prepared, which made the experience even more frustrating. To top it off, the ice cream was already melted by the time we received it, which only added to the feeling that quality and attention to detail are no longer a priority. It's disappointing to see a restaurant that I used to enjoy decline so much in both food quality and customer service. Based on this visit, I don't see myself returning anytime soon.

My friend had to go shopping and so we decided to grab a bite to eat at kenwoods. From the outside, the windows are so darkly tinted. I couldn't tell if they were open or not. But upon opening the door there were people scattered throughout the place. So we just walked into the bar area and got a high top table. Server came up to us, asked us for drinks and handed us menus. He came back shortly after we gave him the order. I had a chicken Caesar salad and a space dust double IPA, my friend just had a cup of coffee. The chicken Caesar was really good, and the beer was as expected. The first cup of coffee that he brought to the table was cold so we had to send that back to get a fresh cup. Now it wasn't that busy so I would think that the server would take a moment to check to see that the coffee was warm, but apparently that didn't happen. I got my food and started digging in and the coffee came out a few minutes later. The salad was good, had a nice size chicken breast on top and the dressing was really tasty, not overpowering. I was a little bit stunned at the bill when it came to the table and it was $35 plus dollars, I guess the food and grocery hikes still surprise me, although they shouldn't. The dining experience was okay, it wasn't stellar by any means, but it was adequate, I didn't felt neglected or rushed in any way. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because of the coffee incident. Having been a server in the food industry. That's definitely one of the things you look for. Bottom line, I would probably come back again. But there are many other places in Costa Mesa to try.

They do have them where I'm at in Las Vegas, but I have yet to visit any of those establishments. I was super hungry and thought I want to go try that rib sandwich. Place is easy to find right off 17th Street. You really can't miss it with that big sign. And the building is definitely unique as well so you shouldn't have any problem finding it Inside you can either choose to go digital and and skip talking to a real person. I'm old school, I actually like engaging with people. So I went to the counter. I ordered the rib sandwich without looking, and was a little shocked by the total. The sandwich itself is 15 bucks, I ordered a small fry which was $4.50, and a small drink which was $4. With a 15% tip my total came out to $28. Definitely a little shell-shocked by that. Now let's talk about the sandwich. It came to the table and at first glance it looked very small. When I picked it up there was a very generous portion of rib meat inside like a big chunk of rib meat. Huge pickles and a lot of sauce. It was a great sandwich. Do not get me wrong, what I ordered again? Maybe. They don't really have a meal deal that includes fries and a drink so it's sort of all a la carte. Now let's talk about the taste. The fries were perfectly cooked, and the sandwich itself was a solid 10. That being said, I would definitely feel more comfortable paying $12 for this sandwich, as I think 15 is a little exuberant. And you don't really get that many fries for $4.50. I can't imagine what the meal deal would have been, but I'm sure people would absolutely balk at that price. I would have given it a five-star review, but that is way too much for that sandwich. As delicious as it was, I just don't feel right spending that much for a sandwich. If it could be reworked, and the price dropped down I would be all in in a heartbeat. Bottom line? If you've been wanting to try it, I say go ahead. Just be warned that you could be unpleasantly surprised unless you know what the prices are you're getting into.
