Best hamburger restaurant in Dana Point, California (CA) 2025

Looking for a burger for lunch found Carl's Jr. in Dana Point, CA right on Pacific Highway (Hwy 101). First day of "indoor dining" being allowed in the State of California, due to the easing pandemic restrictions. No one was inside "dining", however, the drive thru was steady with business from to go orders. The lady cashier was very personable and accommodating, greeted me cheerfully as i walked in. I asked her about any "special deals or offerings" and unfortunately, she stated they do not have any deals in that particular store. A little disappointing, i ordered the regular items and left. The burgers were OK, the flavorful Carl's Jr burgers. However, the fries were not fresh & was actually lukewarm. We were hungry and enjoyed it anyways, as we kept driving on to our destination. My suggestion - always make sure to serve hot & fresh fries as it completes the burger experience! ~Odette
