    Signature Burger
    Tim L.

    Craving some burgers and wanting to try somewhere new, I decided to try Sign. Initially, I walked into the establishment thinking it was going to be another "fast food burger joint" but walked out craving another burger. The ambiance is minimalistic with a few tables along the wall and a long window table for solo eaters. However, the owner/cook are super friendly and accommodating. I ordered the signature and the double burger meal (w/ loaded fries). First off, the loaded fries is one of the best. It doesn't aesthetically look "all that," but it just HITS. The jalapeños and grilled onions balance out the cheese and bacon. As for the signature burger, the crispy cheese was a great complement to the perfectly seasoned patties. The texture of the cheese was just right: a nice balance of almost crispy but also gooey with a small cheese pull. Perfection. I haven't had a good smash burger in OC for a while, so this was a pleasant surprise. The establishment is located within a plaza, so parking can get a bit difficult when busy, but I came in on a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of spaces available. I will definitely be back. A++!

    Sub-par smash burger experience that fell short of hype and expectations. Going into this experience, I had generally high expectations since a lot of my friends recommended it. Upon entering, there is a small storefront for ordering and just a few tables for seating. Seems that this establishment is tailored for to-go. I got the signature + 1 extra patty (3 patties total) and a side of fries. While the ordering was seamless and quick, I didn't receive my order until about 20 minutes later which was disappointing considering this seemed like a fast casual joint. As can be seen from the pictures, the food was rather plain. The burger was super dry, with little sauce inside. Believe me when I say that I was very surprised; I honestly don't think it's hard to mess up a burger but alas, it was not enjoyable. The fries provided were pretty standard in quality but a little lacking in quantity. Overall, I would not recommend this establishment.

    The thing about smash burgers that no one tells you is that it's very easy to get wrong. I remember on a visit to Minneapolis Toby and I stopped at this smash burger place that was apparently highly recommended, but when we tried it all the patties were overdone and had the consistency of brittle. You're supposed to caramelize the patty, not char the everliving S out of it. Needless, I would not recommend that place. Sign, however, I will recommend because that was one tasty burger. The edges had the perfect amount of crisp while the middle was still juicy and tender. The condiments were applied in just the right amounts. The cheese too hit the spot with all the ooey-gooey. I won't say it's up there with Nice Guys in terms of satisfaction, but it was a very competent example of how to do smash burgers correctly. The service was quick in both ordering and getting my meal out. The counter jockey was very helpful in getting my refill and answering questions about the menu. The dining area was a bit small and they only had two tops as far as I could see, but it seemed to be okay in terms of business and turnover. I don't think it was suffering for customers. I would have liked more room between tables but that's a small thing, They also hit my pet peeve of serving everything in bags and to-go containers even when eating there. It kind of ruined the dining experience by not having a proper tray and basket set-up. The fries especially looked wrong in a paper pouch instead of arranged around the double burger. But as it is, it's a good place for a burger. Everything turned out wonderful and I hope next time everything is that much closer to perfection.

    So good!!! Hot take but this is way better than in n out....sorryyyyy not sorry. The flavor, proportion, the SAUCEEE and amount of options to choose from is just perfect. They have a small but mighty menu. We got the signature burger and the crispy cheese and melted cheese that they do is genius. Sauce is heavenly. Every bite is umami af. Their loaded fries are def a top fave for me too. They have the option to order with self checkout and with the worker. Workers there are friendly and it seems like a small family business because I've seen the same workers on different days now. The only thing I wish they did have is pickled jalapeños! I think that would tie a lot of the flavors together. They don't have public restroom, not really good for large groups, and parking is pretty small. Willl be back!

    I was looking for places to eat near my hotel that were open late and found Sign Smash Burger. It is hard to find parking since the lot is very small. The menu is pretty simple and I went with the signature burger and sign loaded fries. Good lord the burger was delicious, and so were the fries. Their shakes look really good, so I'll have to try one of those when I come back to this spot again.

    This Smash burger restaurant was everything and more!! the Smashburger's are so yummy and have the best crispy edges, the loaded fries are cheesy spicy and so yummy. The shakes were to die for, I couldn't recommend the food enough. The workers were so nice and accommodating, and it's a really modern look inside. If you have late night munchies or want a post beach burger and fries definitely try this spot!

    We took advice to come here for a good burger. They did not disappoint. This is a small establishment with really big flavors. It is a small place but very well light and an open view of the kitchen. The menu at current is not very big but what they do make is very good. We ordered the double smash burger, the single smash burger, and a jalapeño burger to go with loaded fries. All were very tasty with right amount of heat from the spicy jalapeños. We will definitely coming back with decent pricing and staying open until 11 on weeknights as a big plus. Keep up the good work.

    Such a trendy place & decently priced . The food was good felt a little rushed tho. And it kind of shows in the food. My single smash burger comes with jalapeño it's was seasoned really good. I do wish the jalapeños were grilled. They were kind of just thrown in the middle of the burger. My loaded fries weren't bad. I like that the topping weren't really heavy. I do wish that the cheese was put first then the topping . Overall good if you're looking for a quick bite.

    After seeing positive reviews on Yelp, I decided to try Smashburger on Chapman Ave. Unfortunately, my experience was quite different from my expectations. I ordered their Signature Smash Burger meal, hoping it would showcase what the restaurant is known for. However, the burger did not resemble the menu photos. As shown in the attached pictures, the patties were very thin, overcooked, burnt, and dry. The burger lacked flavor and was far from the satisfying burger Smashburger advertises. The bun was also noticeably crushed and flattened, giving a careless presentation. While appearance isn't everything, it didn't help when the taste was equally disappointing. The overall dining experience was not much better. Only two of us dined in, with no other customers inside. Although several to-go orders were being prepared, our food still took longer than expected. The atmosphere was less enjoyable than I had hoped. Staff members were quite loud in the kitchen, and an employee sat next to our table, speaking loudly on a phone call for an extended period, making it hard to enjoy the meal. I'm sharing this feedback hoping management will address these issues. The meal did not reflect the quality I expect from a restaurant that prides itself on its food. For the price, customers deserve food and service that match the advertised quality.

    Didn't expect to walk into Sign Smash Burger and leave thinking about it for days. The smash patty gets that perfect crispy edge, the cheese melts into every corner, and the jalapeños bring just enough heat without overpowering everything. Family run, quality ingredients - this is exactly the kind of spot OC needs more of.

    Decided to finally try Sign since it's caught my eye whenever I go to Cali tacos next door. Ordered takeout so I can't really comment on the service but when i went to pick up my order it was giving a very minimalist vibe which is nice. The burger definitely lived up to the hype and the sauce was delicious! Bun, cheese and patty were all so flavorful and tasty. My only complaint was the fries. They were just nothing special. Definitely could use some more salt. I suggest just ordering a burger because the fries aren't really worth it. Overall I'd come again to try some of their shakes and have another burger

    They have delicious food, quick service, and friendly staff. It's a small store with bold flavors.

    Parking lot shared with other businesses, parking felt a little bz during the time we went (lunch time Friday) Simple menu: smash burgers, fries, shakes. Clean ambiance, service appropriate. Order through iPad or face to face option. Good burger joint , I wish I ordered the double patty, not just the single. Stop on by, support local :D

Mine came with sliced avocado (pretty much half of an avocado) which was ripe, smooth and creamy. It also came with crunchy onion strings and their special Topa Topa sauce and of course some kewpie mayo and shredded cabbage. The cabbage was super crunchy and fresh. The buns were super soft and toasted perfectly. The fries were alright. The Okonamiyaki style was unique and the toppings were tasty. My Dr Pepper was a little too sweet, maybe it was more syrup than carbonated water. Overall the burgers here were great! I also got an order for my boyfriend later that night. Ordering to go was super easy. My boyfriend devoured his Spicy Miso burger. Service here was great as well. Would come back for the burgers!

One of the staff mentioned how they were packed last weekend with all the FIFA games. We ordered take out - a classic Hammer Burger, a half order of chili cheese fries, and a small order of onion rings. Sauce station was near the soda, you could get whichever ones you liked. Despite our 15 minute drive home, the food was still warm and really delicious. The burger had good flavor with and without their house sauce. The chili cheese fries were skinny fries with a cheese sauce and bean-less chili. The chili was filling and had a little kick to it. The batter-fried onion rings were (still) crispy and yummy with both ranch and the house sauce. We will definitely be back to fill our smashburger and chili cheese fries cravings!
