Beacon Burger

It is an ok place. Not my favorite, and not the worst. I didnt like it too much and was not impressed. I went there when it was raining, and felt a draft from the door the whole time.

Best burger you’ll ever have? Sorry but no. It does make you wonder where Seth D. has ever eaten though maybe just here or he owns the place. Is the burger good? Yes. Service was friendly. The shake was fine. The view was even better as you can sit outside on pinic tables enjoying the salty air and the harbor.

Nice people, pretty good burgers. Place could use some TLC to make it appear cleaner, but its a wierd part of the charm. The harbor and ocean are steps away. Another reviewer mentioned the hours — the place does have some wierd hours, and I think the Beacon Burger is just a part time hobby for someone. One last note — a lot of old timers from Crescent City go there, so if your a tourist, it’s a good place to meet some old crusty fisherman who can tell you about the area. Heavy on the crusty.

very over priced for at best an average burger. try the dollar value menu and McDonald’s or Burger King!

The woman taking orders was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The cheeseburger I ordered was fresh, full of toppings, and quite delicious. In a city full of chains and little else, go to Beacon Burger for the salty sea air, seals lounging nearby, and local flavor.

Freedom Burger (Double Burger on French Roll) was very good. Nice and juicy. Would totally get it again. Chocolate milkshake was very good.

Maybe I got the wrong item, but my Fish and Chips was sorely disappointing and not exceptionally cheap for the quantity or quality ($ 7.29) or the fact that the bathroom was a dirty public facility. Bathroom issue is not their fault, but has to be taken into account in the overall enjoyment. I just randomly went here when the Garmin had them come up as I was searching for food on a trip up north. Not very busy at prime lunch time but they are at they were on a pier that didn’t have much activity. The fish was more fishstick-​ish than the battered cod I was expecting with a nice flaky coating. Fries were not terrible, but couldn’t save the day.

What a let down. I wanted to try this «best hamburger you will ever have» (Seth D.), but Beacon Burger was closed on a Saturday afternoon. What gives? I even called prior to arrival but the business hours were not mentioned. What a let down.

Simply one of THE best hamburgers you will ever have, period. It helps that just about everyone who has lived in Crescent City has some sort of nostalgic tie to this place (yep, I do too!), but honestly, you’d be hard pressed to find a better burger.
I don’t know how they do it, but every time I go there, it tastes better than the last time. Drop by and enjoy a burger and tater tots, then get a shake to go while you walk around the harbor.

You might think the health department needs to check up on this place… until you try the food and then you just dont care. Awesome burgers your way, fresh. Tater tots (gems), curly or regular fries, fried mushrooms, an array of shakes. Try a pink lady or an oreo shake… you’ll be satisfied! Its family owned, small, but you know its good… its where the locals go!

OK, I will admit five stars is a bit overrated but there is something to be said for the mom and pop burger joint that has been around since the parents were in high school. This place is so nostalgic to me, my friends, my family, we have been coming here for years. Where else can you get potato gems or a pink lady these days? Yes, the food is greasy but somehow this place makes it taste good. You can get a variety of items here; hamburgers, burritos, clam strips, corns dogs, milkshakes… etc… If you are ever in town you must definitely stop by, they are in a great location (where else can you watch sea lions or the local surfers while grabbing a bite) and whatever you do don’t forget the potato gems or pink lady.
