We stopped in here on our recent trip to the Santa Monica Pier. There are a couple places to choose from on the pier, but this one had better reviews on Yelp, so we chose this one. The burgers were delicious. They aren't huge, but that was ok for us. My daughter enjoyed her hot dog. My wife loved her chocolate shake. They do charge $1 for soda refills, but that was worth it.

This place has amazing food and even better service. Right from the beginning instant hospitality.

The customer service was nice but they gave my food to the wrong person and served me the other persons order. Had to wait for my order to get corrected & was just irritating waiting forever just for a double hamburger lol. Also their buns don't taste very good, not anywhere near as good as a Five Guys bun or honestly a lot of other places, just taste cheap. They were clean, professional, and love that it has a great view of the beach and right next to everything! Would come again, they weren't crazy expensive (everything pictured was $25).

If you're on Santa Monica Pier, you can't miss Pier Burger. Right across from Forrest Gump's Bubba Gump restaurant, this place nails the classic burger. It's juicy, fresh, and hits the spot every time. Pair it with their berry banana custard and it's the perfect sweet finish to your meal. Grab a burger, enjoy the view, and soak in that pier vibe!

The pier was very busy when we stopped by on Saturday and this place was no exception. We waited a few minutes in line and luckily we found a table right away. The cashier was friendly and she took my order quickly. I ordered a double cheeseburger combo with a soda and fries and my cousin ordered a small chocolate ice cream. My cousin got her ice cream right away and I waited about 10 minutes for my food. You must keep your receipt and show the worker when picking up your food! The fries were really good. They were perfectly salted, hot, and crispy. The burger was tasty and very very juicy - causing the bread to get soggy and fall apart after a few bites. The meat was cooked and seasoned perfectly though - no complaint there. It got to be pretty busy and it was loud inside. The line situation seemed to confuse a lot of people and they would mistake the pickup line for the ordering line. Overall, the food was good and people watching while eating was entertaining.

Pier Burger is located near the Route 66 sign as you head into Santa Monica Pier. You can't miss the red and white building with vintage looking signage that really gives off that retro feel and takes you back in time. Their menu features burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, frozen custard desserts, and more. Place your order on the right side (look for the sign) and then pick-up the goods on the left side. It can get quite busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait until your order is called/ready. They do have an ample amount of seating inside and outside. I recommend grabbing a seat while waiting and sitting outside if you have a larger party. We ordered the pier burger, hot dog, and vanilla milkshake. Since this was a spontaneous pick, I didn't really have any expectations. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The burger was quite tasty with great flavor. Their burgers are made with 100% certified angus beef and served with fresh lettuce, tomato, and homemade sauce. The hot dog was also very delicious and I think I enjoyed that slightly more than the burger. If you love milk shakes like I do, this is a solid spot for that as well. I didn't notice the "concretes" on the menu which is frozen custard blended thick, but I did still enjoyed my vanilla shake. Overall, great spot for a meal!

My eldest daughter and I were at Santa Monica Pier for the Heal the Bay beach cleanup volunteer event. Afterwards, we strolled on the pier for a little bit. When I saw custard shake, I knew I had to pay Pier Burger a visit. We had already ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co so we weren't hungry, but I just wanted the shake. We got in line from the outside with about 3 people in front of us. Once we got up to the order window, staff was welcoming and helpful. After my curiosity questions LOL, I ordered the strawberry custard shake. They only have one size and it's a pretty decent cup size almost like a 28+ oz cup. The wait wasn't too long. We picked up our shake from the inside. They have inside and outside seating. We just stood at the outside bar-like table. I was so looking forward to the custard texture and taste. Unfortunately, it was not as custardy as I would have preferred. It tasted more milky than custardy. Nevertheless, it was still a good shake. Would I get it again? Maybe. Anyway, they are known for their burgers and fries. I don't eat beef anymore so it doesn't do me any good, but they do have a veggie burger. They also have chicken sandwiches and hot dogs. Besides shakes, they also have floats, ice cream sundaes, and something called concretes (maybe it's a thick shake). Menu is not massive... just enough of basic coverage! =) If you're hungry for burgers, fries, drinks, and more, this is the place to hit at the Santa Monica Pier!

Fast service for fresh fast food. The burgers are amazing, fries stay warm and crispy. They will even make your burger protein style. It was actually by far the best lettuce wrapped burger I've ever had. The lettuce was the perfect amount and just the right kind. So full of flavor! There's indoor and outdoor dining so it's a nice break from the sun, if you need that
