It hurts me to say, but this place has gone downhill drastically. Did the business get sold again? We were the only ones here and it took over 20 minutes to receive burgers and onion rings. The burger was lacking flavor and overcooked, the bun tasted old and dry, the fried egg was overcooked, and the avocado was hard and brown. I've had nothing but top notch experiences here in the past, so this was a heartbreaker. After today, I may not return. I certainly won't be telling friends about it anymore. The fact that they were okay sending this food out says everything about their care for quality. It was good while it lasted, but I think this is the end of my patronage. Super bummed read more

First time here! Ordered the classics based on reviews. Pocket Burger - 4 stars Huge portions with their signature sauce. It's a good burger with good flavor, but not the best I've had. Tri-tip Burger - 3.5 stars Another large burger but didn't realize it was a burger patty with tri-tip on top. Would of preferred just tri-tip. Still good but wouldn't order again. Breakfast Burrito - 5 stars Hands down the best out of the 3 items we ordered. I would go as far as to say the best breakfast burrito I've had to date. Delish with our without green salsa but I liked it with. We ordered it with sausage. They said bacon was the most popular. Sides: Garlic Fries - 4 stars Very flavorful! If you don't care for strong garlic then you probably won't like these. They were hot, crunchy fresh, but got soggy quick so best to eat them at the beginning! Onion Rings - 5 stars Delicious, fresh and crunchy! Don't even need to dip them in any sauces. Picked up the date cookies which I give 2 stars. Didn't care for those. Very dry and lacked any flavor The person who took our order was super friendly and patient since it was our first time here. The other staff was just ok. Not stellar as mentioned in other reviews. Also be prepared to wait for your food since everything is made fresh. There is no parking so come prepared to park on street or far away. Oh and bring cash because they charge .75c fee for credit cards read more

Just picked up food from Pocket Burger. My first time there. Food is absolutely delicious. There Hotdog was cooked perfectly. Better than a Dodger dog. The burger was awesome. Topped with fresh veggies, avocado and an egg. Tarot tots and onion rings were crispy. The staff were friendly and courteous. It is a very small place, but puts out some big time food. Definitely recommend this place. read more

As I finished up eating. I had to give credit where it's do. I called in for pick up as job site is near and in between The Pocket Burger and TriTip Burrito. I was recommended the Pocket burger! I added garlic fries. I picked it up not knowing what to expect... I took my first and devoured it being so good. The garlic fries nice and crunchy too. Definitely will be back. Thank you! Definitely recommend read more

OC burger was fantástico! Everyone was super friendly. I also had an impossible burger and it was great.

So delicious! Pocket Burger is a tiny little hole in the wall with delicious burgers and super nice staff. I got the aloha burger and it was massive! The combo of the grilled pineapple and the savory patty was delicious. And their fries are amazingly crispy. My brother got a breakfast burrito and it probably weighed at least a pound. It's the perfect meal to bring out to the beach (just a couple blocks behind the shop)! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants, with excellent food, staff, and ownership. The breakfast burrito is the best I've had, and I seek out great breakfast burritos. The tortillas have perfect texture, eggs are perfectly done, and all ingredients are fresh. We love the burgers, the coffee, and the daily água fresca too! This is a place with a local owner who takes pride in his business and it shows. read more

I took the doggo to the beach and decided to pick up some lunch. I was greeted with someone who said, "My name is __, what is yours?" That's how she let me know my food was ready - by calling my name, not by calling a number (nice touch). I ordered the beef teriyaki "bowl" with brown rice. What i got was a huge serving of tri tip teriyaki, veggies, brown rice, with some kind of magic teriyaki sauce. The serving was huge. I ended up eating part of it the next day for lunch, so it definitely was enough to serve more than one, or to leave with leftovers. The tri tip was sliced very thin, and there was a good portion. The sauce was great-I could have used more of it though - maybe a small side of sauce. read more

1st time here today and such a great place!! I had the OC burger with garlic fries and my fiancé had Pocket burger with sweet potato fries! Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection!! Owner is very sweet and welcoming!! Will def be coming back! read more

Last 2 times eating there you couldn't even taste the "pocket sauce". Not the same since it changed hands.

Ah, few things in life can beat taking a gargantuan bite out of a voluptuous, juicy burrito, after traveling miles under the toasty sun with the white noise of ocean waves gently caressing your kayak. The California burrito hit the sweet spot for the right moment. I've had better burritos, but this burrito was pretty good. I liked the amount of filling. Who wants a limp burrito? This was a nice hefty burrito. I wasn't a fan of the "Pocket sauce." It overpowered whatever was in the burrito. I could barely taste the tri-tip, which I'm sure would've been amazing. The burrito tasted pretty okay, but I couldn't really taste much of anything other than the sauce. Either way, it was a nice treat out on the kayaks. Very portable, easy to clean up, filling. I wouldn't ever go out of my way to come back here, but if I had another water adventure ahead of me and wanted a convenient pack and go, I'd consider coming back. read more

This is my family's favorite takeout place. We tell all of our Airbnb guests about it. They serve one of the best burgers in Sunset Beach!

First impressions: a hole in the wall, beach bum type spot. Only a few tables inside (which are currently closed due to covid) but there are a few outdoor tables. Mom + Pop owned, they will always remember your face and often will give you a cookie on return trips. Food: THE POCKET BURGER is my favorite! HUGE portion and super juicy and satisfying. Love the pocket sauce. I always get it with no onions or tomatoes but lots of extra lettuce. I usually go here for lunch after a day at the beach or to grab lunch on my way to the beach and it's more than enough to keep me filled. I also love the SCORPION BURRITO, it's like a whole Thai dish wrapped up into a convenient portable meal... perfect for the beach. Tastes even better leftover the next day; and you WILL have leftovers because this burrito is the size of my head. Watch out though... it's pretty spicy (which I love, but one of my friends was overwhelmed by it). I was opt for the garlic fries because of the extra garlicky goodness... of course I wouldn't kiss me afterwards, but still... 100% worth it. Other notes: Covid times has been rough but the owners are always happy and smiling and have time to talk and ask about my friends and how my family is doing. It breaks my heart to see them struggling so I try to stop by every time I swing by the beach and I send friends their way too. read more

Pocket Burger Shack - Yeassss Pocketburger!! - Burgers Near Me - Sunset Beach, California

This is a small place with very limited parking. You will need to find parking on the street or in the neighborhood. The burger was loaded and very flavorful but it was also a bit messy. Good thing they have some moist towelettes available. There was a ton of garlic on the fries. The fries by themselves were seasoned and crispy. There might a be a longer wait during lunch time but my order came out quicker than expected. I liked how all of their burgers already comes with fries. I will definitely come back again if I forget to pack a lunch for work. read more

Dropped in for my birthday, we've been coming to this shack for over 10 years. Come to find out the previous owners sold to a new amazing couple. Which kept the original flavors, menu and recipes. Still high standards with great flavor, and great portions. We stopped by a little after 10-11 am and got chatting with the couple who now owns the business and how they got it. A really amazing story and so so friendly, they gave our children a couple small dishes of sherbet while we chatted with them and waited for our burgers. Wish to have stayed and chatted longer but had to road trip back home. We will still be coming back as often as we can. WE LOVE POCKET BURGER!! read more

This is one of the best breakfast burritos I have ever had!!! I got the Al pastor chorizo burrito with home style potatoes. It's made fresh to order, so took about 10 min from time of ordering. It was so fresh, flavorful, and full of meat! I got the red and green salsa on the side which were both very good. Service was also very welcoming and friendly. This place is great! Can't wait to try more from Pocket Burger! read more

This place is my go to whenever I am able to come California and visit sunset beach! This is my 4th time in the last few years and the experience is always amazing!

You must stop in if you need quality food! read more

SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS! A couple in our group wanted to try this place based on a flyer they received on their car, so some of us (including me) were skeptical. I'm so glad we went. The service was great, the burgers were off the chart good, and you get great value for your $$$. I'll definitely be back if I'm anywhere near the area. read more

Incredible food and the family owned service was truly wonderful. May be slightly hard to find parking but it's well worth it! read more

If you're in Sunset Beach in between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach across from the Kayak & SUP boarding rental on PCH you'll want to slow your roll otherwise moving too fast you may find yourself missing out on a diamond in the ruff burger joint called Pocket burger shack. A tasty place to feast after a day of fun in the sun or refresh with a tasty beverage or both. Been going to Pocket burger for awhile prices are reasonable for the size portion you receive. My go to is their breakfast burrito. It has never disappointed me. It should be named the breakfast bomb burrito,these are massive and just loaded with all of the goodies that you would come to want and the taste buds crave. Being able to choose your choice of proteins if desired. Choice of fries,hashbrowns or my favorite the tater tots and so many other fixings that would have you salivating. The service is top notch, very friendly and personable Dan & Lori have always strived to show a great appreciation for your business and an eagerness to please. If I've phoned an order in, they always seem to meet that time. Parking can sometimes be a bit challenging during the summer excitement. If you're looking to sit and eat there is limited outdoor seating available with medium size covered picnic bench style seating. Makes great viewing for those looking to or have adventured the water across the way at the HB harbor. Thanks Pocket burger for the tasty grub. You definitely have a satisfied customer,I will be coming back. read more

Great breakfast burritos and more. Great service too. Nice staff and helpful with a special order read more

absolutely the best breakfast burritos in huntington beach. they are HUMONGOUS and equally delicious. I love their array of options. I always opt for Spam but they have 4-5 different chorizo choices alone. Their salsas have great flavor. the burritos come with egg/meat/tots or home fries/bell peppers/onions/sour cream & pico de gallo-so if you don't watch the veggies just tell them! :) I absolutely need to come for their other incredible options but genuinely crave their breakfast burritos throughout the week. they also have fresh served juices to offer. their patio is small and parking is limited but it adds to the local beach/surf stop feel. while I haven't brought my pups they have treats for them, and on the day before mother's day they were throwing an event down the street with a dog food vendor & they were serving puppicinos to celebrate fur mommas. Lastly, they are so kind and welcoming. When I call, they thank me for my order & each time I have come they have greeted me with a smile. one of those local business you hope NEVER leaves. read more

Found this joint during a surf day...what a score!!!! Bombalicious! Total hole in the wall but we don't mind. Cool beach vibe. EXCELLENT customer service. Daniel (owner) is very friendly and helpful. Pocket burger was MONEY! The sauce is what makes it YUM. Messy but that's ok! Probably the best burger we have ever had. Garlic fries were very delicious- lots of garlic! Chorizo (spicy) breakfast burrito was YUMMY! Lots of meat, cheese and homemade potatoes. We left nothing behind and had to roll ourselves out of the joint once we were done! You're welcome world; enjoy! read more

Pocket Burger Shack - Aloha Burger - Burgers Near Me - Sunset Beach, California

This place was pretty delicious; I ordered the OC burger with grilled onions. When we first came in, they offered us complimentary drink samples which was super kind of them. Although the OC burger was fairly good, the bun and patty could be slightly more juicy. The serving sizes also felt kind of small for its price. The shack was pretty cute, but since it's small, there's not enough seating space. And since it's right next to the street, the seating space is polluted with car noise. It is pretty awesome that it's just a short walk to the beach! Definitely recommend this place for its food. read more

Pocket Burger Shack - OC Burger with grilled onions - Burgers Near Me - Sunset Beach, California

Been coming to the Pocket for about 5 years now. Love this cute little shack right on PCH. My take is biased, since I have only ever ordered the Cali Burrito (my favorite burrito in the entire world). When the new owners took over, there was a noticeable change in the way it was delivered. Onions and peppers were also added which I truly don't think the original Cali Burrito should have ever been changed, but that is my opinion. I just order without the new additions now and it's still an amazing burrito. Their fries and onion rings are fantastic too! read more

My husband and I dropped by for an early lunch. The owner/employees were SUPER nice; very patient & helpful as we decided on our order. We ended up with the burger and breakfast burrito. The ingredients were so fresh! We saw them wheel in fresh produce as we were waiting! I'll definitely be back! The hours are a bit limited, so check before you head over. read more

Ok finally stopped by this place and will definitely be back! One of those hole on the wall places on PCH that is quintessential CA dining. Food is made fresh with quality ingredients that show thru in the taste. Got a basic cheeseburger and garlic fries with onion rings and they were all excellent. As good as the food was the Agua Fresca was equal to the task. Watermelon and then a passion fruit mango which are worth the price of admission alone! As good as all that was the service and friendliness of the owner were just great. Daniel gives 110% and takes great pride in your experience. Not expected in fastish food but Daniel genuinely enjoys what he is doing and it shows. He even gave me a sticker!!! Many other items worth checking out but I can only eat so much at one sitting. Daniel bought the place back in November and is carrying in a great little business. read more
