Brea’s Best Burgers

I’ve lived in Brea for over 15 years so I have gone to Brea’s Best many times over the years. I’d say the quality of the food is not the same. Their burger was bland, without even salt and pepper. Ketchup and mustard couldn’t help it. It tastes like frozen burger patties that are overcooked. Not juicy at all. Their beef hotdog wasn’t very juicy and was bland as well. Maybe if they added it to the grill top?! For both, a little overpriced. Their breakfast burritos are pretty good. I wish they gave more salsa.

The dining area is decorated in a 50’s theme. The customer service could be friendlier.

I have been going to this restaurant for years. The new owner has taken it up several notches.

The food is very good. The Pastrami sandwich is awesome. The also offer healthy and vegan meals.

The prices are very good. The restaurant is clean and service is also very good.

I highly recommend Brea's best. It has the 1950s touch and it's just simply a fantastic Mom and Pop dinner!

Always loved this place until today.
Ordered patti melt combo.
It came much latern than people who ordered after me and I don’t know what they did with patti melt but it was cold, patti tasting weird, and no caramelized onions as usual. They made me a new one for me but still not the same patti melt I eat every other week. It was exactly like the first one they made for me. I don’t know if the cook is changed and the cook doesn’t know how to make patti melt. Look at the picture.

Ive been here a few times. The food is okay sometimes and not so good other times. The service needs improvement! Today, theyre getting a one-star because usually, when I come here, the cashier has me sign the receipt when I use my card. Well, today, a different person took my order, and she hurried and put the store copy of the receipt in the drawer instead of having me sign it. Then I reached my hand out to get my copy, so she asks oh you want the receipt? Uhm, yes, I do! She charged my card $12 for one Asada taco that actually costs $5... so beware when you come here because she thought I was not paying attention and that she would get away with stealing money. This will definitely be my last time going here! After she gave me $6 back in cash now she wants me to sign the $12 receipt. Thats how I know it was done intentionally. Watch out for scammers!

Felt it was a mistake and guy took recipe out of trash and read it and said we dont do 2012 prices anymore! Food tasted like it was sitting there since 2012 buddy! Owners really drug this place down! They need to take down their sign because Breas Best is false advertising! Rather go to choice burgers anyways!

If youre a fan of nostalgic childhood memories and melted cheese dreams, you might be as disappointed as I am with the new management at Breas Best. This once beloved burger joint has sadly lost its sizzle. From the first bite of their signature burger to the tantalizing pastrami, its evident that something has gone awry. Its a shame to also see the walls of the history of Brea fall under the new management to a regular 50 style hamburger joint. The pastrami, once a mouthwatering delight, now leaves me feeling hungry for something more. The meat lacks that perfect balance of tenderness and smoky goodness that it used to have. Its as if the pastrami took a vacation and sent its mediocre cousin to stand in its place. But wait, it gets worse. Even the beloved onion rings, once a crispy, golden delight, have fallen from grace. The batter lacks the crunch and the onions themselves seem to have lost their flavorful punch. Its a sad day when even the side dishes cant bring back the glory of yesteryears. Now, lets address the elephant in the room - the credit card charge. Seriously, Breas Best? Charging customers for the convenience of using their credit cards? Thats like charging a fee for breathing air inside the restaurant. Its a bold move, but one that leaves a sour taste in my mouth, and not the good kind. Breas Best is a shadow of its former self. Its a heartbreaking realization to witness your favorite restaurant lose its magic. The melted cheese lacks flavor, the pastrami is a distant memory, and even the once magnificent onion rings have lost their spark. And lets not forget the audacity of charging customers for using their credit cards. Its a tragic tale of a once-great burger joint that has lost its way. Breas Best may have lost its crown, but there are plenty of other burger joints out there waiting to reignite your taste buds. So you should just change your name to Breas Burger because youre not the best.

The best hamburgers on town

Published a year ago

Weve been stopping here for food for years. Used to be one of our favorite burger spots. I cant give them 5 stars anymore after eating here yesterday. It has REALLY gone downhill. The first thing you notice when you enter is how filthy dirty the floor is. It looks like they havent cleaned it in days or weeks. Trash is piled up near the entrance (inside left), and the soda machine looks (and is) scary dirty. We ordered, and I added a customary tip to the total. Big mistake. The girl/woman who took our order was not pleasant or friendly. Id say she was borderline rude. Would it kill you to be nice? Honestly, I wrote this review mostly based on her service, but the other things I mentioned are also things that jumped out at me, so Im mentioning them as well. The food was different from previous visits. The burgers were cold. They didnt taste fresh. When we asked for sauce or napkins (because the table napkin holder was empty), the employees werent nice. In fact, the 2 women behind the counter were too busy gossiping to care about the customers in front of them. We felt unwelcome here. Wed never been made to feel that way before. I seriously regret giving them a tip and admonish you to not tip here (or anywhere) until after eating to see if they deserved it! After eating what we could, my daughter went to use the restroom (they have only 1 restroom for men and women) but came back to the table immediately, wide-eyed. There were feces smeared all over the restroom, used gloves in the sink with feces on them, and a hypodermic drug needle. I thought dirty floors and tables were a problem, but this was TOO MUCH! Id avoid eating at this restaurant unless your tetanus shot is up to date. We certainly will not be going back. So bad for so many reasons. What a shame theyve let the place go.

No drive-thru bc its FRESH & they cook it as you wait. Doesnt take long. Really have great quality of burgers, fries are really great & my son likes the bacon burgers ( again fresh real food!) Nice people there & it never takes long (about 10 mins for 3 people) The most responsible priced burgers in O.C! Lettuce is the good quality red leafed or Italian green kind - always fresh) Sometimes/Rarely - the tomatoes (which are always cut thick) are a tad greenish on ends,& a little hard - like not quite ripe - this typically happens during winter/cold months) when even the grocery store has the exact same kind! They even have the BEST PIECES OF CHOCOLATE Devils food chocolate cake or carrot cake thats unbelievable!

Use to be our go to. Prices have gone up so much that we only go for a single order of zucchini now. What we use to pay for 2 burger & fries now is the same cost as two zucchini orders We were shocked to pay $15 for 2 orders of zucchini last time. It use to be $4.50 an order! So instead of a couple burger meals, now when we need a zucchini fix, we just order 1 and share it as a munchie snack.

Stopped for a burger on a Sunday around noon and the burger was without a doubt as good as or better than any other hamburger spot around. Ive had some sloppy full of mayo and lettuce sliding out burgers but not here. Bun was perfect veggies were fresh, this place was smaller than your average diner but whats wrong with that. It was very clean, I walked in ordered my food sat down and ate. And I sat in the back by the restroom and it really smelled nice. No bad odor covered up by cheap air freshener, it must have been clean but I did not go in. From my first visit this place is awesome if not ib would not have taken the time to give this place the credit it deserves. Thank you.

The breakfast burritos are huge and made with regular friend potatoes instead of French fries. For some reason I dont care for fries in my burrito. The pancake and egg breakfast is also good.
