    Pocket burger with tots. Burger is huge
    Gladys F.

    Still a gem to this day. Service and food has remained consistent and happy to have such a staple in the area. Burgers are well made and cooked fresh and fries/tots always hit the spot.

    Tri-Tip Sandwich

    5 star!!! Tri-Tip Sandwich so so delicious! Definitely recommend. the staff was super friendly and helpful. Also recommend getting the agua Fresca they had strawberry watermelon today so yummy! I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu :)

    Nothing beats a satisfying brunch after a surf sesh. Burger and burrito took care of that and the horchata was a cherry on top. Owner was wonderful and gave us a history of the place.

    The service was great but expect a wait for the food if you don't order ahead! The owner greeted us and brought the food to us outside - very friendly. The people working here were all family and that gave this a great vibe. There are a few picnic benches outside but many people pick up and go. You can order ahead so you don't have to wait around. We will be back to try the breakfast burritos. Convenient location if you are visiting Sunset Beach.

    Visitors can park right in front Sunset Beach USPS just a block away, but for no more than 10 minutes max (Jul 2025)

    *** Extra $0.75 fee for using credit card *** Pocket Burger Shack is a small hole-in-a-wall & husband/wife owned burger shack and was ranked #82 on the Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat for 2015. They also recently received Visit Huntington Beach's first annual Foodie Awards in 2025 - winning "Best Family Friendly Restaurant" and "The Best Burger in Huntington Beach" (Sunset Beach is an incorporated part of Huntington Beach). Their burgers are made from Wagyu mixed beef patties, preservative-free potato brioche buns, and housemade "Pocket" sauce. [Parking]: It is almost impossible for visitors to find free public parking here on busy weekends. All parking spots on N Pacific Ave were all taken. However, visitors can park right in front Sunset Beach USPS just a block away, but for no more than 10 minutes max. [Amenities]: No public restroom. Three outdoor tables with tents. [Menu]: Going by Yelp's top recommendations they would be Tri-tip Burger and Breakfast Burrito. Their Breakfast Burrito is served all day with one protein options (chorizo, sausage, bacon, ham, spam, or soyrizo) and one potato option (house potatoes, tater tots, or French fries). I ask the cashier and he only suggested house potatoes and said your "typical' options like bacon or ham. *** Breakfast Burrito (three eggs, cheese, sour cream, onions, bell peppers, and pico de gallo wrapped in a flour tortilla - bacon, mild aka green sauce, house potatoes, no beans - $14.00): Talk about one HUGE portion - it was enough for two people to share. If a burger with no patty (just onions and bell peppers + replace patties with bacon) ever has a baby with breakfast burrito, then this is what it would look like. Personally this burrito could have slightly more bacon and less burrito. Green salsa was good as it had a little bit of heat. *** In hindsight I probably should've pick tater tots instead of house potatoes for better texture. While this breakfast burrito was a little bit different that what I normally have, overall this shack still makes some pretty solid breakfast burrito.

    Vegan Burger and Garlic Fries to go!

    Found this spot on yelp as I was passing through the neighborhood so I decided to stop... I was not disappointed! As soon as I rolled up somebody was offering me a sample of their Agua Fresca which turned out to be one of the best I've ever had.. There were several things on the menu that I wanted to try but I chose the vegan burger as that's what had been on my mind when I was searching Yelp. It was the standard Impossible patty on a nice brioche with their "pocket" sauce that hits like a teriyaki, will definitely be getting an extra side of the sauce next time. The garlic fries were the best I've had to date, that was a nice surprise!

    This place is a MUST visit. Burgers are amazing and fresh, and the garlic fries are the BEST. the owner Daniel is super cool and welcoming. Can't wait to visit again

    Pocket Burger... so good!
    Fernando A.

    Still one of the best burgers around! It's been a while since I stopped at Pocket Burger, but after a late morning surf I was driving by and saw that parking and seating were available, so I and had to stop. This level of burger is a real treat. It's better than most burgers at a sit down restaurant. I need to come more often!

    Pocket burger is great! Also there home made drinks. Daniel is awesome. I will be going back to try the burritos

    Onion rings, garlic fries and a pocket burger
    Taeler H.

    This was our second visit to Pocket Burger as we are not often on this stretch of PCH, but unlike Sade said, it was as good as the first time. Last time I got the tri-tip burger which was a huge but delicious and juicy burger, and garlic fries which left me full and satisfied for the rest of the day. Today I got the pocket burger, and fries come with it but we uncharged for the garlic fries which disappoint, and got a side of onion rings too. Remembering the portion sizes, my husband and I decided to split all this instead of getting a second burger. The onion rings were hot and crunchy, so fresh and tasted house made. The garlic fries are also crunchy, hot and delicious but topped with a heavy minced garlic topping. I love garlic so this was right up my alley. The showstopper was the burger, yes sides are great and I'm glad we tried the onion rings this time, but that burger was fire . The sauce, the flavor, the fresh egg and veggies! It was a true masterpiece. Their sign doesn't lie, they truly do have the best burgers in town. FYI - this is a local, family owned business with very nice people running the restaurant. The only seating is outdoors at picnic tables. Most folks seem to get their food to go as seating is limited. We went for lunch around 1:00 - 1:30pm on a Tuesday and had no issues getting a seat. Last time we came on a weekend and almost did not get a table.

    We took a bike ride to Sunset Beach and happened across this place. Sure glad we did, it was delicious! Ordered the Pocket Burger and BBQ Burger with onion rings. There is a reason why they received a 2025 Foodie Award for Best Burger. Outstanding flavor and taste! The owners Lori and Daniel have put their heart and soul into this establishment and it shows. They are also some on the nicest people you will meet. The restaurant has a small counter inside and several shaded tables in front. It has the classic Mom and Pop burger feel. Parking in front is limited, but there is ample spots in the back. If you are craving a savory and perfectly crafted burger, look no further!

    The most delicious, crispy, freshly made onion rings. You know when you take a bite of shitty diner onion rings and the onion slips out like cheap panties and a dollar store wh-. Well this isn't that. The onion rings were crafted by the gods behind the counters. The burger constructed from the grill to the ceiling with an egg, large patty, lettuce tomato and onion. So large you can hardly get it in one bite. This place is a local favorite for a reason. Fighting demons to look for parking is worth it when this is the reward. 10/10

    Enjoying the area while visiting kiddos for the holiday. It was a lazy morning at Bolsa Chica RV Park and decided to grab a quick breakfast. I got a breakfast sandwich: plain bagel with ham, scrambled egg and tots. You definitely get quite a bit for $8 but really wasn't a fan. The bagel was fresh and nicely toasted but had a lot of butter or mayo. The ham was tasty but the egg was not my favorite. It appeared to be cooked in a microwave and was undercooked for my liking. The tots were plenty and good. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and eat the bagel and ham separately. All in all the sandwich was acceptable. Service was quick and personable. The establishment was clean and welcoming. The food was nicely packed with napkin and condiments. A plus in my book! So, if you want a quick bite to eat on the way to/fro the beach, stop on it but before 3 when they close.

Come on a Friday if you want to try their cinnamon roll pancakes. Comfy cozy cafe. Cool people who all worked together. We never went without anything we needed. Started with a caramel latte and vanilla latte. Perfect frothiness! Moved onto a fitness scramble with potatoes instead of rice with a side of English muffin- perfectly buttered and toasted btw. Side of a single buttermilk pancake and bacon. It's cool you can order singles of any of their pancakes or French toast! Also got the French toast combo. Bacon was crispy and yummy. Nothing was overly oily like some cafes. Servers pointed out their three homemade salsas as well as their maple and boisenberry syrups! All the shakers and bottles were clean and not sticky. Definitely will be back on a Friday to try their cinnamon roll pancakes!! 10/10 recommend. Reasonable prices, good portions, solid service.

Places tucked away in a shopping center next to a fitness place, a liquor store and an insurance company. The sign is not huge so you really do have to know it's here. When you walk up the first thing you see is the outdoor dining area which is covered tents over tables which is really nice. I'm assuming that was when covid was a thing and most people had to eat outdoors. Regardless, this place is pretty popular as they have a podium and a guest list out front. I was able to walk right in and grab a booth at the back. I'm glad I did, such a great fun place to check out and see what kind of wonders they have in store The ambiance of the restaurant is a little bit dark, but they do have lights but it feels like a very cozy dimly lit hometown Cafe/ coffee shop I settled in with a cup of coffee, and ordered the combo which was two pancakes or french toast, two slices of bacon, and two eggs. Eggs any style. Of course I had to order my glass of milk with breakfast to see if they're paying attention. They passed the glass of milk test with flying colors! The food was good, absolutely solid and what a great little place to have breakfast. The wait staff is very on point and was ready to make suggestions and offer casual conversation. The bottom line? I would definitely hit this place up again whenever I'm in Huntington Beach. You should definitely give it a go and I highly suggest the combo as the pancakes are stellar!

    First time at Sunny Side Café. I had driven by this…read morerestaurant countless times. But for some reason i had never really noticed it. I'm not sure why. And then during a Yelp search, I saw the ratings. So, I went in last Friday for a late brunch with my parents and i can definitely say that i was pleasantly surprised. This restaurant is located in a small strip mall at the corner of Westminster Ave and Seal Beach Blvd. in Seal Beach. There is lots of parking out front and there is a handicap ramp leading to the entrance. From the parking lot to the interior of the restaurant, everything is clean with beautiful and simple floral designs. We came in at a down time as it was an hour or 2 prior to closing on a weekday. So, we just about enjoyed the whole restaurant to ourselves. As we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and immediately led to our table. The interior of the restaurant is setup like a country diner with booths and a long breakfast counter with high chairs. Only way more modern with fresh wall colors, rustic wood accents, vibrant tiled floors and large glass windows. It is Cozy and inviting. The old school playlist adds a relaxing touch. I really liked the live edge look-alike design on the tables. The wall of the hallway leading to the restrooms, is covered with really cool kids hand drawings. I thought this was a nice touch. I really like their overall menu which offers something for everyone. (See full menu in attached pictures) I ordered the Ribeye steak and eggs. The steak was tender, the sunny side up eggs were cooked over easy and i asked for the hash brown to be extra crispy. And it also came with 2 slices of toast. It was really good. My Mother got the Greek chicken skewer which is one grilled chicken skewer with grilled onions and bell peppers on a bed of garlic butter rice, a side of Tzatziki and a greek salad. My mother ate it all, i had a taste of it. It was delicious. My father was not hungry so he just had a latté. We all had a latté. They also have an orange juicer for fresh squeezed OJ and a pastry case. That day, they had some really fresh looking Almond croissants. Overall, we had a very good first time experience. Gioia, our server, who could have been the manager for all i know, was so kind, welcoming and accommodating. Which made our experience even better. I will definitely be coming back. FYI: they open at 7am and close at 3pm I highly recommend Sunny side Café.

Had seen this place for years but thanks to Yelp I finally checked it out! The interior is cute, the lighting is inviting, the staff is helpful, there was artwork form the kids who visit posted all over the walls, and fresh flowers at each table. 10/10!

Their drinks are trendy, fun, and sure to leave a lasting impression. I ordered the coconut cloud latte and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor palette that comes from coconut water and the sweet/salty topper mixed together. This add-on reminded me much more of thick dalgona. My only gripe (and it's kind of a big one) is that this biz needs to do a better job of menu descriptions - or at least educating people during the ordering process. I don't think the average human knows what a coconut cloud latte is. Their main advertisement doesn't even share that the Miracle Latte has peanut-butter on top. These are key pieces of info that I'd want upfront Did I know what a coconut cloud latte was? No. Was I a little disappointed when I saw it? Kind of. Was I absolutely obsessed with it? Absolutely.

Don't get me wrong though, the pastrami was bomb and I like the dressing on it. It has a nice kick and the meat was tender. The avocado toast was lacking flavor so we had to put hot sauce on it. Food is on the healthier side for sure lol. Definitely would come back to try the other coffee drinks they have. Mahalo!

Parking is shared with nearby businesses, but there were plenty of spots. The dining area has lots of tables, though it's a little tight on space. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout. The food was delicious across the board. I ordered the Molcajete, which came loaded with refried beans, chorizo, avocado, potatoes, a sunny side up egg, carne asada, grilled slice of cheese, and pickled purple onions. The portions were huge -- I couldn't finish mine. The meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. I added shrimp for a little extra and it was absolutely worth it. Others at the table ordered the chilaquiles, which come in red, green, or a combo, and can be customized with chorizo, short rib, or other proteins. The feedback was positive, though the portion size looked a bit small compared to other dishes. The very berry French toast was a hit with my daughter. She loved the sauce -- flavorful but not too sweet -- and the bread was perfectly toasted on the outside with a soft center. The burritos were generously sized. The surf and turf stood out, with perfectly cooked shrimp and meat. The sauce had a bit more kick than expected, but it was delicious overall. The carne asada fries were also a great size, with fresh, quality ingredients and great flavor. A few things to note: there are no fountain drinks, and the agua frescas don't come with refills. The menu has a great selection of Mexican-inspired café drinks -- café de olla, Mexican hot chocolate, lattes, and more.

    This family-owned Mexican restaurant has become my absolute go-to spot after work. I've been coming…read morehere multiple times for months now, and the food never fails to hit the spot every single time. The wet burritos are seriously worth every penny packed with flavor, perfectly sauced, and always fresh. Whether I'm craving something quick or a full meal, everything on the menu delivers that authentic, homemade taste you can only get from a place run by a dedicated family. Even though the inside isn't huge, it's always buzzing with people, which tells you everything you need to know. I've never had a bad experience here, and the warm, welcoming vibe makes it feel like you're eating at a friend's house. It's kind of tucked away off the Main Street, which is why I've always called it my secret spot. If you're looking for genuine Mexican food without the hype or crowds of the big chains, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won't be disappointed Highly recommend!

    Been wanting to try this place for a bit. Finally stopped in for dinner with my brother…read more Friendly 10+ year hole-in-the-wall place kept very clean. Staff friendly and welcoming when entering. I ordered a cheese enchilada plate (choice of beef or chicken too) which came with rice, beans, and pico de gallo. My brother had the carne asada wet burrito and a carnitas taco. On my plate the rice was fluffy, flavorful, and tender. Not dry and bland like so many other places. The beans were tasty and WHOLE, not just a mound of refried from a can. The enchiladas were plump and delicious with a flavorful sauce. The pico de gallo was fresh, crisp, and refreshing. My brother's carnitas taco was full enough that he had to use a fork to eat all the moist porky heaven inside. Now his wet carne asada burrito...it instantly gave the WOW factor when it was delivered to the table. It was Huge! He wanted to eat every morsel of it but had to reluctantly bypass the tortilla about half way through to finish the tender carne asada insides. We're already planning to go back soon for their breakfast offerings.
