Pier Burger: Your Go-To Spot for Juicy Burgers at Santa Monica Pier

I recently visited Pier Burger and had a great experience! The burgers were flavorful, juicy, and cooked just right, with plenty of options to customize. I was also pleasantly surprised to see veggie options on the menu, which makes it a solid spot for groups with different preferences. The atmosphere is casual and fun, perfect for grabbing a bite by the pier. Overall, a tasty stop if you’re craving a classic burger with something for everyone.

We had the spicy chicken burgers and basket-size fries ..both were absolutely delicious! The flavors were fresh and satisfying, definitely some of the best beachside fast food we’ve had. Prices were on the higher side, which we expected given the location, and it was worth it for the quality. However, the only downside was being charged $4.97 for a 500ml bottle of water, which felt quite excessive. That’s something they could definitely work on. Other than that, great vibes, tasty food, and a perfect spot right by the beach. Cheers to the team at Pier Burger! Best, Abrar

It was very busy and not very well organized when I visited, but the staff were friendly and the burgers were decent. It did take a good while to receive our order but the beach atmosphere was nice and the pier is great for people-watching to pass the time.

Great burger and really good fries! Highly recommended and all at a great price!

Great service. Quality of burger is great. Fries could have been better. Shake was ok. Atmosphere, I wish they had played original tunes from the 50s60s the old school rock n roll. Would give that place a real vintage vibe. Overall good. A little chaotic. Eating area could have been made nicer. But still highly reccomend this place. It’s a raw experience .

09/27/2025 I always come to Santa Monica Pier to look around and eat around way before google review even started. My first time seeing this place was around the year 2000 when I was a young teen. I never ate here before so I tried their burger out of curiosity and I was assuming they're just like In N Out burgers and I was right but I was also kinda wrong. Tastewise, they're fresh just kinda like In N Out burgers except, theirs are bigger, their bun is bigger and also the patty. Their fries are typical and they don't include them when you order so you have to buy them seperately.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a burger place that also sells breakfast sandwiches, but it really took me by surprise how good it was! I got the Arnold Palmer to drink and it was perfectly refreshing.

Highlight of our trip to the Santa Monica Pier! It was raining the day we visited the pier so it was a great way to pass the time during the rain by eating yummy food! The burgers were tasty. The cheese dog was filling and my son loved the fries with chili and cheese on them. Portions were good, service was EXCELLENT and it was not any more pricey than what you would expect for a tourist area. We were grateful for the covered seating so we could still enjoy being outdoors but not get wet!
