I've always seen TK Burgers, but it was just one of those places I always drove past over the years and was neither interested nor did I ever give it any thought to be completely honest. The business park/plaza I work at does an annual tenant appreciation lunch event where they order catering for us. Last year they did In-N-Out which was awesome, so I was a little bummed out they didn't do it again this year, but it ended up being a very pleasant surprise. At face value, a cheeseburger from TK Burgers really isn't anything special, I gotta admit. However, once I sunk my teeth into it, I was actually really impressed. Delicious charbroiled patty, fresh produce at all the right ratios, and the best part to me? The bun. At first I thought the bun was going to be dry as a bone and crumbly, but it's actually soft. The property management company sent out an email saying there were still burgers left, so I ended up getting a second burger. Hell yeah moment. Anyway, I was in the area yesterday and ordered a cheeseburger and it was just as good as the last time I had it awhile back. Actually, it was a little better last time because it was free haha. Overall a very solid, simple, straight-to-the-point cheeseburger with an excellent bun. According to their website, they have a bakery make their buns with their secret/proprietary recipe. It's not a place I would drive out of my way for from Anaheim, but if I were in the area or if I lived nearby, I would definitely stop in from time to time. read more

This used to be one of the best burger spots in OC. Unfortunately, after my visit this past Sunday, I left pretty disappointed. I placed my order about 5-8 minutes before arriving, and while I appreciated how quickly it was ready, it may have been sitting for a while because both the burger and fries were completely cold. And for fry lovers, cold fries are the worst. When I walked inside, the restaurant was also extremely dirty and had an unpleasant smell. It didn't seem like a one-time issue -- the place looked like it really needed a deep cleaning. Sadly, this place has lost a lot of its value when it comes to cleanliness and quality. read more

I really wanted to like TK Burgers, but it just didn't deliver. The food was pretty underwhelming--my burger had almost no flavor, and nothing really stood out or made it memorable. For the price, I expected something a lot better, but it felt overpriced for what you get. The place itself is fine, but when the main attraction is the food, it needs to hit--and this just didn't. Overall, a pretty mid experience. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back. Just go to in n out or habit burger. read more

After over 15 years of patronage I think I have to say goodbye to TK Burger. Anytime people talked smack about TK burger I would defend this place, but my experience today prooves things have gone downhill. I called to place my order for the mini meal. The woman who answered the phone did so with the most unenthusiastic "hello???" as if the call had just woken her up. When did we decide to stop answering business phones by stating the name of the business? When I got there, the woman at the register didn't greet me. No smile, no "hello"....I told her I was picking up a phone order. She took my payment and moved the bag that was on the counter toward me and said "this is it" all without ever looking at me. She looked miserable to be there. I had to remind her that I had ordered a drink, to which she said "oh yeah" and she moved a cup toward me. Between the phone call and this I never want to see this sourpuss lady ever again! I remember this place having fun music that matched the surf/skate vibe of the sticker covered walls, but now there's no music, it's dark & the people sitting in the dinning area in silence seem sad and depressed and you just faintly hear the spanish music the cooks in the kitchen are listening to. The mood at TK Burgers has become "someone died and we are in mourning".... it ain't good! (if someone from the TK Burger family did pass and that's why people are sad my sincerest condolences and apologies) When I placed my order I specifically asked for it to NOT have onions. Guess what? When I got home by burger had onions! The fries were also so underwhelming I threw them away. When fries manage to make you sad that's pathetic. I will say, I still will recommend the TK Burger truck for corporate and private events because I've had consisentenly good experiences with their truck/catering. read more

Best burger in Orange County actually best I've ever had, the way they flavor and season the beef is unmatched, I can't duplicate it, but yall changed your bun. Really tempted to give four stars. You used to have the best bun and you got it from some bakery in Carson. It was a soft potato style bun with perfect burger to bun ratio. Now it's some crumbly put on the grill pretzel style bun. Sucks. Also you claim quarter pound patties but I've recently got in n out hockey puck style thin patties ain't no way they were quarter pound. Hope the manager sees this. Still the best burger in California. And this is the only TK they'll actually cook your burger medium rare when you request medium rare. I live closer to the HB but the chef there is lazy. He not only won't cook to order he pre cooks the patties so when you order it comes out less than a minute well done and lukewarm. But please, TK, why did you switch the bun? Also can't order Newcastle beer anymore read more

TK Burgers - Double cheeseburger medium rare mayonnaise only( I add mustard and ketchup) - Burgers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

TK is the best burger in OC hands down, they have a great deal on a burger with fries and it is absolutely perfect. The locations are all cool beach shack vibes and the employees are always super cool and nice. The burgers are juicy and cooked to perfection. The fries and the seasoning are the BEST and the extra seasoning shaker is a must! The secret sauce is the best sauce on a burger. TK IS THE GREATEST BURGER!! read more

Way overpriced for being a basic burger and fries. $11 burger fries combo is a single burger and doesn't come with a drink. There was such a small amount of fries on all our plates I thought about saying something but didn't care enough to. 3 burgers and fries, 2 drinks and a shake and it was $50. For $16 I expected some out of this world flavor and good size burger and got neither. I would've just as much liked to walk next door and get a double Del burger from Del Taco. Not bad food at TK it's just very basic and extremely overpriced. Literally barely got any fries with the combo it was wild. read more

Always has been and probably will be one of the best Burgers in Orange County. I stand on that. Nothing Fancy, just a good Old Fashioned, well Seasoned Burger that makes me wonder why would I try a Smash Burger when the original is the GOAT? If I'm at work and want a Burger this is the automatic choice. Hands down. I know In-n-Out is just up the street, but for the value TK is kicking that azz without sacrifice. If you're in Costa Mesa or happen to be traveling up the 405 exit at Bristol and treat yourself. Yallhollatchaboy'. read more

Iconic burger place in the OC. When I think of a burger place TK always enter my mind. The burgers are good! Fries are one of the best I've ever had! This location has tater tots with the perfect crunch too! There is parking on the side and towards the back. I got the TK special lettuce wrap- it was good as always with tater tot fries! read more

After having tried TK Burgers in Mission Viejo, I realized there was another location near work. Love to come here for a SOLID cheeseburger with fries, for the price they can't be beat even compared to In N Out. This places just has their consistency and quality down with absolute speed.. In N Out lost their touch ages ago when it took 30 minutes to get a cheeseburger. I can come here on lunch, and be in and out in absolute reasonable timing. Service could be a little friendlier, but I can understand the frustration of handling a lunch rush with a line out the door. Parking here is a little tough if you come during lunch.. there's like 8 spots in total. That aside, if you prevail then it's worth a visit for a very good cheeseburger all for less than $10, in today's economy.. that's a bargain my friend! read more

Review 6 of 2025 I was running out of time so I ordered just the cheese burger with cup of water. The restaurant itself is small. There are plenty of tables inside and outside. The parking lot is extremely small and tight. I was lucky enough to find the spot. Service was good and fast. Ambiance is cool with nice wall arts on the wall to the ceilings. I will definitely go back. read more

Yooo. Finally got to try this hyper local neighborhood burger joint. The charrrr on them patties is incredible. The beefy essence is nice; great seasoning / flavor. . Exceeded my expectations. The service has been nice both times I've visited. Very pleasant staff and casual laid back vibes. Definitely prefer this to like Mickey Ds, Burger King or Carl's Jr type mainstream junk. read more

We were looking for a lunch spot close to the LAB and ended up stumbling upon this place. We came right before the lunch rush, so we had no issue finding parking (the parking lot is relatively small). There's also a decent amount of tables both inside and outside. I ordered the hamburger with fries, and my husband ordered the hamburger with sweet potato fries. I swear, we barely got our waters and ketchup to our table before they called our number already LOL. I don't know how they made our order so fast, but I am not complaining, haha. I really love how simple the burgers are, because you really taste the flavor of the meat. The regular fries were nice and crispy; the sweet potato fries were half crispy/half soggy. Portion of fries was small, but I'm trying to diet so it kind of works out, lol. Also minor observation, but the paper plates they serve the food on are super flimsy, and makes the place/meal feel cheap, lol. Overall, we did really enjoy the burgers and fries. Food is decently priced and comes out lightning fast, making this place an ideal and convenient place for lunch. read more

Very casual spot, counter order. Service was ok. The cheeseburger was ok tasting, but the bun overwhelmed the sandwich. Too much bread/too big a bun for the inside. Fries were good. The strawberry shake tasted very artificial. Was just an ok stop for lunch. read more

We were in the area, so we decided to give TK Burgers another try. The burgers and the fries this trip were a lot better than I remember, and I'm glad we stopped in. The burgers weren't much to look at, but they sure did taste good. They were well seasoned and cooked right. I liked the simplicity of them. Burgers are best when they are not festooned with blue cheese crumbles, onion strings, aioli sauce, and so forth. The fries were good, too. She and I both got fountain drinks, but beer is also available. The drill is you order at the counter, and they call your number when your order is ready. It works. It's a casual place. The dining room is a nice, comfortable place to enjoy your food. I like the surf and skate vibe with lots of stickers and surf photos on the walls. My pictures are better if you click on them. Cheers! read more

Don't underestimate this little place! From the outside it doesn't seem much, but once you enter inside it has its own little personality filled w stickers and surfer decor. Once I took a bite out of my cheeseburger, I literally had to take a moment to sit back and appreciate such quality of food. Plus they have their own sauce that pairs well with basically anything on their menu! 100% encourage anyone reading this to try this place! Enjoy! read more

Food is always fresh and quick, even during a lunch or dinner rush. Plenty of options to sit down and enjoy your meal inside or outside!

My favorite burger in Orange County, and maybe the best on the entire planet. An OC icon.

I don't get the hype about TK. They have a limited menu in HB too, no tater tots, sweet potato fries or breakfast. I tried a veggie burger and the bread was very thick and dry. My favorite thing were the French fries! read more

Great burgers I live in San Diego and stop by here when I'm In Santa Ana!! Nice mom and pop shop here I will keep coming back for sure!!

When I walked into the I've heard great things about it are busy on the text messaging did not free just looked at me and says wait until I ordered the food came out on a paper plate and soap when I'm spending what I'm spinning the food was the worst I've ever tasted in fast food environment. Customer service in the atmosphere. Here is really not what you would expect in a Burger place here we get better customer service at McDonald's or Burger King. read more

TK Burgers - Not worth the price - Burgers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Small shack on Bristol and Baker, right behind the Pet Hospital and PepBoys oil change. If you drive by it without really looking for it, you'll miss it. This location has the OG 90s beach burger shack that everyone loves. Truly, the menu is still the same, which honestly brings back melancholia of one's youth and the so many great things that come along when you take that bite from your burger and fries. They have added the Vegan version which it's a good alternative if you are vegetarian (they do grill it on the same grill as the meat patties) and the variations of sides like sweet potatoes fries, tatter tots, onion rings and regular potato fries. Let's not forget the corndog and their famous ranch sauce. What I also like about this location is their breakfast menu (is not offered at all locations), a good alternative for the rest of the restaurants around the area. Everything is simple but really good. If you ever come by, don't forget to look up and admire the decor and if you happen to have your own piece of nostalgia, stick it on the wall. read more

This place never disappoints! I love their fries! Their burgers are made to order, and so are their fries. They are quick and the employees are nice. I just noticed that they also offer catering...which has given me some ideas for the future. I suggest you come here for either lunch or dinner. Every burger that I have tried has been delicious. I can't wait for the summer to come here more often. I'm kinda grinning. read more

Food was great and the aesthetic of the restaurant is cool kinda outdated but comfortable, glad Thais location has sweet potato fries!

TK Burger never fails! Clean dining room. Fast service! I will say I prefer the burgers at the Newport and Huntington location they tend to has an extra charred taste at this location that's a bit overpowering. Overall a great burger joint! read more

I'm not one to leave reviews but this time I absolutely had to. I've heard raving reviews from people I know in Costa Mesa so I thought I'd try it out since I found myself in the area. I got home to find out that my corn dog was literally burnt to char. Whatever, at least I have my onion rings right? Well, turns out my onion rings had a hair on them. I am usually open minded on trying new places but for those curious I advise you to avoid. I am extremely dissatisfied. read more

I just ordered a cheeseburger, tator tots , and a corn dog. I got home to eat it and it was just gross. The cheeseburger had too much salt on Patty, the maynosie was slop on heavy dripping all over , and just overpriced yucky tasting. The corn dog was oily as hell and burnt. I couldn't eat it and finally the tator tots tasted old and stale. Waste of money and gross food. The customer service was terrible too like the cashier didn't want to be there.
