I thought I had reviewed Volcano Burger a long time ago, it's one of my favorite burger joints ever! Discovered this place a few years back looking for a hidden spot to frequent. It's always a packed line and people usually in the front ordering and filling up their eating area, I'd recommend grab and go here. The burgers are amazing, big in size, taste better than fast food style, more like the entry level restaurants. I'm a big fan of their fries and fried Zucchini. Got the onion rings this time, it's always overflowing in portion to the serving sleeve. Decided to switch up the Lava Burger with the Fish Burger, it's good to go! Didn't order a shake this time but usually do, they're big servings and the same quality as the rest of the menu. If you're in the surrounding area looking for drive-thru, consider trying this place out. Makes a quick meal seem more satisfying than chain establishments. read more

Do not get the pastrami sandwich Worst pastrami sandwich I've ever had bread was soggy, meat was tough and chewy, way too much mustard, they also do not carry Swiss cheese... If the Hat is a 10, then this is a 2 at best This is their most expensive sandwich at $12.99, and so far the worst thing on the menu I have tried. I ended up throwing over half of it away. Stick with the burgers here. read more

Volcano Burger is absolutely one of my favorite spots, hands-down! They truly have it all, from burgers and sandwiches to tacos, a gyro wrap, and even corn dogs. Plus, they offer huge salads if you're in the mood for something lighter. You name it, they probably have it. I've never had a bad experience here. We usually swing through the drive-through, which can sometimes be a bit of a wait, but they manage to move things along pretty quickly. The only time I actively avoid Volcano Burger is when the high school across the street lets out because it does get pretty packed. Living close by, this is definitely our go-to place when my husband and I can't decide where to eat because they offer such a wide variety. I especially love that they have Mr. Pibb to drink, and the staff is always incredibly friendly and nice. Highly recommend! read more

A classic burger with all the fixins. Volcano Burger is a tasty spot that was quite busy on a Sunday morning. There are no combinations on the menu so everything is à la carte. The French fries were perfectly fried along with the long strips of zucchini which had a good seasoning on them. Service was quick as we were waited on by a friendly young man. Volcano Burger has a covered patio area to eat which was clean with numerous tables. Located across from Los Alamitos HS this must be a busy spot during weekday afternoons. Volcano also has its own parking lot with a couple of handicap spots. All in all a good first time dining experience at Volcano Burger. read more

Went for Dinner last night for the second time.This time I got the chili cheese burger and the wifey got a cheeseburger and chicken strips for the one at home. Everything is solid and delicious. Takes a bit cause all food is cooked to order.The guy helping last night made fell like family agreeing with my choice of a chili burger and said that was probably gonna be his dinner as well. The place is really packed and the kitchen is small but always buzzing. read more

The parking lot is small and gets back up by the drive thru big time. The food is good, great customer service. The patio tables can be cleaner and the trash needed to be taken out as it was overflowing. So the area where the customers eat is a bit neglected. read more

good quality food, good charbroiled taste, fries are good and zucchinis are good not too breaded and not over seasoned. Only thing is none of the meals are "combos" they have to be purchased individually. Parking is also a problem at times but that doesn't change my 4 star review on the food. Outside seating, good customer service., fast. read more

My wife and I were craving Chili Cheese Fries. I was born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley and my go-to place for this was "The Hat". Volcano Burgers has now become my local spot for a chili-cheese fry situation. It has what I'm looking for: thick cut fries, solid chili, and a ton of cheese. I also got a pastrami sandwich and we also really enjoyed it! I'm a local and I loved this as a no-frills, drive through, local, mom-and-pop burger spot across the street from Los Alamitos High School. It doesn't bring anything over the top to the table, but you'll get exactly what you are looking for. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Always a bit of a line ,But it goes fast. Their fried zucchini is delicious..great burgers !!!!

Not your standard quick bite, this local gem is a non-chain fast food spot with a drive-through, a walk-up window, and outdoor seating. While you might assume it thrives only on visits from the high school across the street, the truth is revealed at dinner time -- when cars line up into the street for a taste. We are from out of town and this is a definite have to go yearly visit for us. Some of our repeat go-tos include the chocolate shake, chili cheese fries, crispy chicken strips, classic corn dogs, zucchini fries, and the always-refreshing Orange Bang. read more

I really wanted to love this place since it is so close to my church, but I was a little put off by my visit. The food was tasty, so I will give them that. We ordered two colossal burgers, regular fries, and chili cheese fries. My burger did not come with cheese as I had asked, so I went up and grabbed a slice and added it myself. Not a huge deal, but it did take away from the experience a bit. The pastrami was great, the burger had a lot of flavor, and their ranch definitely passed the test. The biggest issue here is the parking. The lot is very small, and once a rush hits, you are stuck. We sat there for about 30 minutes trying to get out, and my boyfriend ended up going through the drive-thru line just to exit. It was pretty frustrating. That is really my only gripe, though. I am sure we will be back. read more

The drive thru is a nightmare that's why it always looks crowded. It's nothing major just a burger stand & customer service sucks . They are so So slow don't go if you don't have time to waste in n out is down the street read more

Love their bacon cheese burgers, they are large in size with lots of quality bacon and cheese you can taste with a great juicy sauce. I like the shredded lettuce. Their ranch dressing is quality and creamy not thin and watery like other places. Their chili cheese fries are huge and yummy read more

This is an underrated spot, great quality burgers, staff are friendly and welcoming, service was fast, and you can dine in or take out. Dollar for dollar this is one of the burger options you will find and the burgers, fries, and shakes are all items I'd recommend. I will be back. read more

Just went to volcano burger... Saw a big line in the street to get in this place on our way to Lent services... HAVE THE PASTRAMI!!!! read more

What's the point of calling in 2 items on more than one occasion. Giving it 10-15 mins before headed over to pick it up, And yet still have to wait 5-10 mins for it to be ready. Then half the zucchini is burnt. Just a burger and zucchini and the place wasn't busy read more

Great burger here , I loved their chicken quesadilla too. I recommend this place if you're in the area. The service is fast and they speak perfect English. Seems like they enjoy working there ! Love this place read more

I have been going here since I was a little girl. Drive 30 minutes just for a burger here. Went two weeks ago...no gloves for food handling. One person touched the back of someone's shirt then handled food. Anothrr touched their hair! I saw hand sanitizer but no one used it while I waited. Extremely concerned. They have 10 violations from their march check...all for cleanliness or food handling! Dress looks concerning...i may question returning until yelp shows a clean pass with proper procedures in place. Even with gloves on you can't go around touching other people, your hair, etc... read more

If you're looking for a local, mom & pop burger stand, look no further. Volcano Burgers is literally a walk up window, order, sit outside under covered seating, or drive-thru and take it home. There is no inside seating. It's across from Los Alamitos High School, so I'm sure it gets busy. Fortunately, we stopped by during a non-busy NYE morning, so there was plenty of parking. The junior cheeseburger was the perfect amount, but the bun is seedless. The half order of zucchini fries were huge and delicious. Can't imagine how much bigger the regular order would be. Chili cheese fries were plentiful and good. Come hungry as the portions are a healthy amount. read more

Great food with huge portions and friendly service ! This little place was here in Los Al for so long from back in my high school days. I was not able to try cuz I wasn't brave enough to order by myself :( But since I am a fully grown adult with own car was able to try couple of items. Burgers! Juicy patties and fresh veggies ! Steak sandwich has tender juicy steak and it really hit the spot. Zucchini fries and onions rings are huge and well deep fried (but extra charges for extra ranch). Only thing I did not like was their chocolate milkshake. It only had hint of chocolate. I definitely recommend this place but be aware this place gets busy! Tiny parking lots and lots of cars in for drive thru. read more

The only reason for the poor rating was a result of my experience. My husband and I went this evening to eat. We went through drive through and requested a bacon cheeseburger, fried burrito, Junior cheeseburger and French fries. We drove home only the find there were no French fries. The order taker did not take the correct order and it wasn't a pleasant experience which is a shame because the food is good. read more

I tried giving this place a second chance. I ordered onion rings to go. When I got home and bit into one it tasted and smelled like fish. They need to stop using the same oil to fry everything or at least change it out once in a while. This is the second time. Sorry to say there won't be a third. Crossed it off my list of burger joints we patronize. read more

Drove through the driveway for lunch today & I was shocked owner/manager allows employees to wear whatever. The employee with glasses at drive through window was wearing very short shorts with her butt cheeks hanging out. There's a place for that but at fast food place ? That isn't a good look for the business unless it doubles as a strip club or Asian coffee shop. read more

Went here on a Friday for lunch with coworkers. Got the lava burger and zucchini fries. The lava burger was ok but the zucchini fries! Delicious. Had some of my coworkers onion rings too. Yum. They gave us so much ranch dressing. It was amazing. The French fries were nothing to write home about. Apparently they're good if you order them seasoned? Maybe next time... Place was clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. Parking lot is tiny and looked a little hectic when we left around noon. read more
