The Cut is one of our favorite spots to visit. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. The ambiance is great, love the music. We went in on Saturday afternoon before the dinner rush. We were sat immediately and greeted by a friendly server. We ordered the Southern Bird Sandwich, Savory Burger, and double order of sweet potato fries (yes, they're that good!). I can't recall what the dipping sauces were but they never disappoint. We were regularly checked in on by another team member and their owner too, I believe. Everyone is really friendly here. We'll definitely be coming back again soon. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

There's been mixed reviews about this place.. I'm not sure how much clearing up this updated review will do but I'll definitely be back after this last visit. Perhaps the secret is coming at the right time? When the servers are chill and strive for taste! At least our server was very helpful, informative and recommended exactly what I wanted given one rule, must be vegetarian. Got the sweet and sour burger with no bacon but avocado, impossible patty and an extra egg. $30 for a vegetarian brioche'd bun burger with runny yolk fried egg. Open faced, begging to be eaten and fries packed with a proper crunch, crisp and just the right amount of grease. The OG with impossible patty was also delicious! Quoting that of a wise eater, this is the burger in-n-out wish they made. The ratio was on point for all the cheese lovers out there. Fried burrata- for those who don't eat calamari, perfect appetizer teaser with a surprising bell-pepper sauce. It's like eating a fancier version of deconstructed mozzarella sticks. The burrata consistency and texture makes me have faith in this cheese again. Lots of yummy brews on tap and a very smooth cup of coffee. Thanks guys! Keep it up! Lots of happy hour options. read more

My boyfriend wanted to take me out for dinner after we were both off work and decided on The Cut. Both of us never been there but he saw it on Yelp and thought it looked good. There were people sprinkled around the restaurant and we decided to sit at one of the booths. There were pillows along the booths which made the experience more cozy. For drinks we decided to get a Diet Pepsi and water which was good. For food I got a spicy chicken sandwich and my boyfriend got a burger. Both were amazing and we'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. read more

Absolutely loved this burger spot! The patties were juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The fries were crispy, the service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back again soon! read more

First visit to The Cut--and we're officially hooked! As locals from San Diego, we were blown away by the warm, attentive service. The staff made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The burgers? Incredible. Flavorful, juicy, and structurally sound (no mess, no soggy buns--just burger bliss). Fries were crispy all around with amazing flavor--definitely not your average side. Our little one devoured the kids' mac and cheese, which says it all. The buffalo wing appetizer was out of this world--tangy, spicy, and addictive. Pro tip: ask for their house ranch. It's next-level and pairs perfectly with everything. We'll absolutely be back--and bringing friends. The Cut knows how to do it right Also big shot out to Melanie with her great customer service! read more

Came in for sunday lunch, we started with drinks, the "Purple Drank" and a beer flight. Both were good, and the drink selection was decent. However they don't have a full bar, only beer, wine, sake, and soju. As for the burgers, they were just okay--a little plain and lacking toppings. Most of them didn't come with basics like lettuce, tomatoes, or pickles, which felt a bit odd. Also, sides weren't included, not even fries, which made the meal feel a little overpriced for what we got. Our server knew the menu through and through, very helpful. The ambiance was good, small chill place, bar is available to sit as well. One highlight was the house sauces, they had a great variety, and they definitely helped add some flavor. Overall, not a bad spot, but for the price, I was expecting a little more. read more

This place is one of my all-time favorites out of Los Angeles/Irvine area. I come all the way from San Diego and every time I pass by on the 405 or the five I think about the cut. Not only is it the best handcrafted chicken sandwich I've ever had. They also have the best down to earth employees that make you feel absolutely at home Frank and Mel only added to the beautiful experience of eating at this restaurant. Everything was absolutely amazing and the fries were great too. If you're in the area, this is an absolute must go. You can't come to California without going to The Cut. It's worth the travel. read more

OUTSTANDING!!! We were a large group (8 out us with 2 small kids) out to celebrate my father in law's 85th birthday!! Melanie was our server and was incredible! One of the best servers we have ever had the privilege to have! The food was exceptional and I cannot say enough good things about Melanie she is a rockstar and was incredible!!! Thank you for the very best memorable evening!!!! We will be back again and again!!! read more

The food is amazing! I am basic so I got the OG cheeseburger and it was mouth watering delicious! The fries are so good and we got the buffalo wings and were perfect as well. Service was on point. I have zero complaints! I'm just so amazed with how delicious everything was! Something tells me I'll be craving this burger very soon! read more

Got the blue cheese burgers delivered and they hit the spot. I haven't been since 2024 but I will give them a personal visit as they brought back my past favorite burger. read more

I go just for the fries, so crispy and starchy in the middle. Unfortunately, they should be more consistent with their hours. It's weird how they are sometimes closed when they should be open? read more

This place was outstanding! The server was ultra patient with us as my friends and I got caught up after not seeing each other for a long time. When we did get around to ordering or server was very helpful and made some great recommendations. I decided in the Cut Burger, with a $40 price tag, I figured I could go wrong, it was amazing. To keep my bill reasonable I chose some Pabts Blue Ribbon to quench my thirst. I loved how they tried to get fancy with it by asking me if I wanted another PBR? Everyone in my party had a great evening and everyone loved their food. $40 burgers are not an everyday thing but I'm definitely coming back to try some of the (lesser priced) burgers. read more

It's been a while since we've been back to The Cut. My husband really enjoys the burgers there and he has yet to get the popular $40 burger. We arrived today at around 12:45 for lunch. I decided to do something different and opted for the tres leches French toast. It was really good! Would definitely recommend it. My daughters shared the Cut-inental breakfast. Which consisted of bacon and eggs and a side. That was gobbled up. We also ordered the original for our daughter. And it was ordered well done. Just like previous times, they can't seem to get that order right. The patty is never well. In fact it was pink. So what they did was eat everything but the patty. My husband had the savory. And that was done to his liking. Pricing seems to have jumped up about $6-8 dollars per dish. But that's also because they each come with a side. read more

Afternoon lunch at 130p and stayed for happy hour that starts at 3pm. We both had the burgers which come on a potato bun. The beef is yummy. Also had the tots and ordered a Nduja sauce to dip. Then the grand finale was the Sticky Date Pudding Cake with butterscottch, candied walnuts and vanilla toffee ice cream. Our server Lisa was great ! We will be back for their brunch that a customer told us about. read more

My daughter and I came here to get a burger and we were treated horrible by some young Asian girl at the front. There were no tables so I gave my name and phone number. She then said you have to go outside. It was freezing cold so we just left. Never texted us for a table. She was rude and we definitely won't be returning. read more

I'm torn about my rating. Is $20 starting price for a basic burger not considered too expensive? I know that they make their own patties using Chuck, short rib, beef rib and ribeye. As those are quality meats to use for their burger patties, I still feel their price point for a burger is pricey in my book. I ordered the Colombian burger and it was a 6/10 to me. The meat was bland to me. I added mayonnaise to each bite to add flavor. I had the chimichurri on the side as to not affect the taste of the beef. My order did come with a side and I chose garlic fries which there was an extra charge. The other burger we tried was the sweet and spicy which came with bacon that I could not taste. I really wanted to try The Cut, but I was afraid to take a $40 risk. read more

The Cut - The Colombian - Burgers Near Me - Irvine, California

Their burgers are really great along with the tater tots. It is a good place for a lunch meeting.

This spot makes the cut! The burgers are thick, tender, super juicy, well seasoned, and delicious. The cheese is generous and actually has great flavor. The brioche bun was fluffy. The fries were natural hand cut style, and fried to perfection. The rosemary garlic was good, but next time I will get the regular fries. The tots were great, it's what you would expect, crispy and tender on the inside. Poutine is awesome, but if you are not a cilantro fan, opt for the sauce on the side. Fido is welcome to dine in at the outdoor patio, they serve a plain patty for dogs. The service was top notch, everyone was polite, professional, and super friendly(genuinely so). read more

I'm extremely satisfied with both the meal and the customer service! Melanie took care of us and was incredibly thorough, attentive, and super friendly. We tried the Colombian Burger, Sweet & Spicy Burger, and the Truffle Cut Fries- it was soo good! The portion sizes were perfect too. We ended with the Sticky Date Pudding, and honestly, I'd return just for that alone- it was heavenly! I'll definitely be coming back! read more

It's mediocre at best. Maybe it was an off day but everything fried was overdone. Winner winner chicken dinner was sent back. After a 25 minute wait, the chicken was burnt. It looked burnt but we gave it a chance, hoping it tasted better than it looked. No bueno. The fried burrata although was really good! We also ordered the Cut burger. Not worth $40 IMO. It's fine but WAY overpriced. Not worth 4 Shake Shack burgers, 10 In-N-Out burgers or even anything at a decent fast casual. I won't call it a ripoff but c'mon. read more

My husband and I were on the hunt for a solid burger place in Irvine and we may have found it with The Cut. We ordered the truffle and brie and sweet and spicy burgers to share and they were sooo good. If you like the flavor of truffle, you're going to love the truffle and brie burger. The truffle flavor is strong and there's some sweetness to the burger from the pickled onions, but the two flavors complement each other so well. The sweet and spicy burger was also delicious and the sriracha sauce that is in it is definitely the star of the burger. The burgers are cooked medium by default, but we asked them to make it medium rare and they were able to do it for us; the patties themselves were go cooked perfectly and were so juicy. The service here is really good and our waiter would check up on often throughout the meal. The ambiance of the store itself is casual, but still pretty modern looking. It is located in a pretty large plaza with plenty of parking. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot and would come back if I'm in the area and craving a burger! read more

I'm not usually a huge fan of upscale burgers, but this place caught my eye when I entered the plaza looking to try something new. Based on recommendations on Yelp, I went with the savory burger and an order of poutine to split with my friend. Savory burger: This was a hefty, heavy burger filled with so much flavor that lived up to its name! The cheese and house sauce was very umami and the patty was so tender. Poutine: The beef was so tender and I loved the chinichurri sauce that came along with it. Even in the takeout container, the cheese remained soft and melted on the fries. As I was waiting for my order at the bar, the server was very helpful in answering questions and offered me a cup of water. I would definitely return to try another burger. read more

Firstly, this is not a cheap burger spot. I had the bleu cheese, bacon, grilled onion burger cooked medium; the cheesy tater tots and sweet potato fries. All were ok I would say. The burger patty was pretty tasteless though. My friends had the Colombian which had a cilantro pesto, fried banana, Swiss cheese. Looked good. They enjoyed it. The service was very quick and very attentive. We never had to ask for a refill of our drinks and were offered to-go cups for the leftover if we wanted. It's another of those open concept venues so if there were more people I think it would be hard to have a conversation across the table. Overall a fairly good experience but flavor was lacking even with all the toppings. read more

Food is great. Staff/service could use some training on courtesy and gratitude. It's almost as if we were inconveniencing them by trying to dine in. We had no idea that Tuesdays were busy but they have a cool program (kids eat free Tuesday) that we learned about on our way in...we did not know that they only offer this for dine in only and, while we were dining literally right outside because they said it would be a 30 minute wait (despite multiple tables actually being available/available soon), they refused to honor this as being dine in, and what's worse is that they were incredibly rude about it. We just asked. All I can say is Geez Louise. Your food is good but if your staff are members are stressed, no need to take it out on customers. read more

Came here on a Sunday for dinner, party of 2, and had an amazing experience! Our order - we split all the following: truffle and brie burger with an extra patty medium rare, the shishito peppers ($13), and two painkiller drinks ($13 each) (per the waitress, a soju based drink - not sure why it says vodka on the website menu). The burgers about $22+ without the extra patties. Vibes: Casual indoor/outdoor seating. The only thing I wish they had was louder music, I felt like everyone could hear my friend and I talk in the hollow indoor area. Pros: - DELICIOUS BURGER. Definitely a classy meal and worth the money if you haven't tried it before. Adding the extra patty was perfect to split the burger between 2 people with our side of peppers. The truffle and brie flavors tasted exactly as I expected. I especially loved the buns, kind of fluffy and not too dense. - really yummy shishito peppers too! - Painkiller was a really delicious drink - not too strong and very yummy. - Easy parking, easy to uber to if you're visiting Socal and you don't have a car - Super friendly staff, efficient Cons: - despite the deliciousness, can be quite an expensive meal for quantity you get. Overall though, I think that quality is worth the price. Adding the extra patty was a game changer because otherwise I don't think I would have been full. I definitely think it was a unique experience and way better than the Habit, Red Robin, or any of those more expensive chain burger places (as expected). Nothing really similar nearby. read more

Nice atmosphere. I was quickly seated. Bone marrow was great but as an appetizer should have come out first. The recommendation of the union rings as a side was great to the OG Burger. The OG Burger was supposed to come out medium rare but came out rare. The patty wasn't will seasoned so the result was a burger that came across as a patty melt. The cheddar cheese overtook the taste. The Burger bacame too rich to finish at about 1/2 way through it. I bun also wasn't well protected so the Burger quickly became a mess. I would have also recommended providing a steak knife instead of a regular knife to preserve the burger's structure. read more

Service was great, but I didn't like their signature "The Cut" burger. Mine came out too salty and without any sauce or condiments, I personally didn't think it was worth the asking price of this burger. I love my dry aged steaks as the next person, but this wasn't it. read more

Good burger but expensive. A burger and fries ended up being about $25! And I barely got any fries, maybe less than a handful. Service is fine. And the place is in a strip mall. I got the cut burger and it was good like any normal burger place. But it's way too expensive for the experience and food combined. You're better off saving some bucks and going someplace cheaper. read more

I came here when they were giving back to the community with their $5 burgers. Honestly best burger I've had, and it's worth the almost $20 regular price point. Will definitely be coming back ! read more

Food was 10/10. I've came here for a burger never the brunch, but it was worth every bite. The chilaquiles were awesome, the mimosas hit the spot, and the service; spectacular. Lisa was awesome she will have us coming back! Love her. Shoutout the to cut they definitely earned our loyalty. read more

The staff was super nice, but the food, honestly, meh. Our burgers were supposed to be medium - they were well done. I have a gluten allergy, so mine had to be lettuce wrapped, so I endured an over cooked piece of meat in lettuce. You're a burger place, offer gf buns. It was not a great $14 burger - also ala cart. The only thing saving this place were the servers. read more

High quality ingredients prepared perfectly. We ordered the "The Cut" and while it's a bit expensive for a burger, it exceeded expectations. The wings and coconut shrimp were also tasty. Will return for Happy Hour read more

Very inconsistent lettuce wrap burgers for take out. The first burger came with no lettuce wrapped around the burger and just chopped up lettuce- there was a miscommunication with the person taking the order and they thought just no bun. Never heard of a burger with no bun. Then it was supposed to be corrected and the burger still had no lettuce wrapped around it. It was pieces of lettuce on top and smaller pieces of lettuce on the bottom. Not sure if I want to come back here. read more

Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Place is clean, roomy with ample outside seating. Very quiet on a Sunday afternoon. We enjoyed the crispy Chicken Caesar and a burger. Only thing that made me turn my nose up...the bathrooms needed cleaning. Considering there were only 3 occupied tables, kinda looked like at least one somebody in there had some free time to go in and tidy them up. Other than that it was great! Would definitely come back. On the fence? Try it. read more

Amazing food and beer! We ordered two of the hazy IPA's on draft as well as the poutine and the sweet and spicy burger. The poutine was incredible! I'm not sure how every fry was still so crispy when they were covered with tender meat, cheese, and amazing chimichurri sauce. The burger was cooked perfectly and was juicy with a ton of flavor (loved the aioli). Oh, and it was happy hour so the burger was $3 off and the poutine was discounted as well. We will definitely be back! read more

Extremely mid and way overpriced. Paid $14 for an average size burger, nothing special. I would say that most fast food burgers are better tasting. $6 for a small serving of fries should be criminal, but at least they were pretty good. You're mostly paying for the setting and the hipster vibes. Everyone is very nice here and service is fairly quick even for lunch rush on a Saturday. read more
