This is a great smash burger fix. The skirt on the Hammer Burger is crispy and tasty. I went with the Classic Hammer Burger - so good. It does not look big but it filled me up. I also got an order of the fried pickles (great flavor), some onion rings (crispy and good) and a pickle beer to wash it down. The pickle beer had a nice bite of pickle juice added to a lager so it paired great with the burger. I have had a lot of pickle backs (whiskey and pickle juice), but this was my first pickle beer. I would definitely try another one. After you order from the counter, you can walk over to the selection of sauces. They have a ranch, jalapeño ranch, chipotle, hammer sauce, Alabama, white sauce, and a garlic sauce. We had fun dipping our onion rings and fried pickles into each sauce. Each was tasty, but my favorites were the jalapeño ranch and the garlic sauce. Overall good experience and will be back. I'm never a fan of parking especially when you have to pay to park almost everywhere around that restaurant but this was worth it.
Decent smash burger. Great customer service. On par with other smash burgers I had in the past (smackburger, etc).
I have been here 3 times. Right in downtown area of Santa Ana. The food is great. If you are looking for a good burger this is the place! The Service is excellent. Everybody in the place had a "cool" vibe. Place is tight and can get very busy during lunch and dinner time. I recommend it!
My current favorite smash burger. Everything about this was delicious. Service was quick and easy. They had a hefty sauce station, but my ABSOLUTE favorite is the garlic sauce. SO GOOD. I wanted to bring some home LOL. They have a few seating and a cute little bar area. Parking was super easy for us as well, we got a spot right outside. Otherwise, there's paid parking in the lot behind.
Really good burger... exceptional customer service. Friendly environment kid friendly for day time for sure. Definitely recommend
Best smash burgers in Orange County hands down. The prices aren't too bad, and they are serving high quality items here. I have yet to find a burger joint that could top Hammer Burger! Love their fried pickles as well, super crunchy, and perfectly seasoned. It's a small location with limited seating when we went, but we were so glad we waited. I highly recommend Hammer Burger to anyone!!
Hammer Burger specializes in smash burgers and is located near the 4th Street Market in downtown Santa Ana. The burgers here are 2.5 oz of meat per patty and come with 2 patties. They do have a triple option for $2.50 more or the quad for $5 more. Classic hammer burger (quad - $15) - This came with hammer sauce, house made pickles, grilled onions, American cheese, and 4 smashed beef patties sandwiched between a small potato roll. Each of the 2.5 oz patties was thin, crispy and flavorful. The hammer sauce had a strong mustard flavor to it, and I would have preferred a chipotle mayo flavor profile. I did get some garlic from their condiments section and dipped my burger into it and really enjoyed that. Overall this is a solid spot for smash burgers and one of the best that I have tried. Pricing is on the high side here when you consider what other places like In-N-Out charge for their similar sized burgers. I parked at the parking garage near 4th Street Market and walked over during the weekday as parking was complimentary.
Hammer Burger is one of my favorite smash burger spots, and the UNLIMITED house-made sauces are a game-changer! They have an amazing selection, but the garlic sauce is the best--so, so good on both the burger and fries. I always get the Original Burger and the Hammer Fries with the grilled onions well-done for extra caramelized goodness. The staff is super chill and friendly. Pro tip: Park in the 4th Street structure (it's usually free) and check out their 20% off happy hour. Highly recommend stopping by for a delicious smash burger and perfectly crispy fries!
