Burger Lounge Menu USA Prices 2026

Every Burger Lounge burger starts with single-source, grass-fed, grass-finished American beef, seared on a flat grill for that caramelized crust with a warm pink center. That’s the whole selling point, and honestly, you can taste the difference from commodity beef. The Lounge Burger price is $13.14: grass-fed beef, organic cheese, fresh or grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and their house 1000 Island on a sesame artisan brioche. It is the #1 most ordered item on every location’s DoorDash page, and my pick if it’s your first visit.

The “Classic” burger costs $13.14 too, a love letter to the old-school quarter-pounder style with organic American cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles, and chopped onion. Want something with more swagger? The Husky, a double-patty beast with double cheese, runs $17.94. And the Truffle Mushroom-Swiss at $19.14 is the luxury play: sauteed truffle mushrooms, Swiss, truffle aioli, arugula, and crispy onions. Pro tip: it goes for $9.95 on Mondays with the TRUFFLEMONDAY deal (more on that below).

Not a beef person? Burger Lounge uses free-range poultry, and their crispy chicken game is strong. The Crispy Chicken Sandwich is $15.54: crunchy, juicy, and honestly better than most dedicated chicken spots. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich is the same price if you want to keep it lighter, and the Buffalo version adds a proper kick. The Grilled Chicken Club with bacon and avocado-style toppings runs $17.88.

The tenders deserve a shout. Three pieces for $11.94, five pieces for $15.54, hand-breaded and genuinely crispy. They also anchor the best in-store deal on the board (half off during Lounge Hour, 3-5pm Monday to Thursday).

Yes, and it’s a sleeper hit. The Turkey Lounge Burger costs $14.34 and it’s made with Shelton’s free-range farm turkey, fresh basil, and organic fixings. It doesn’t taste like an afterthought the way turkey burgers usually do. If you eat fish, the Wild Alaskan Cod Sandwich at $16.74 uses line-caught cod, crispy outside, flaky inside, and fans on DoorDash give it glowing reviews.

Both plant-based burgers cost $15.54, so pick your fighter. The Impossible Lounge Burger gets the full Lounge treatment: organic cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, 1000 Island. The House-made Quinoa Veggie Burger is Burger Lounge’s original from-farmhouse creation, made with real vegetables and whole grains, and it’s fully vegan-friendly with the right swaps. Vegans rave about it in reviews, calling it one of the most consistent plant-based burgers in California.

Keto at a burger joint? Burger Lounge actually makes it easy. The 100% Grass-fed Beef Paleo bowl is $20.34, keto-friendly with beef served over greens, no bun in sight. The Power Protein Bowl at $19.14 loads up protein over a hearty base. These are the most expensive single items on the Burger Lounge menu, but they’re built like meals, not snacks.

Yes, three of them, and they’re real salads, not the sad side-thought kind. The Daily Greens Salad ($15.54) and Caesar Salad ($14.34) work as full meals, and you can add any protein on top. The Nice Little Side Salad at $7.14 doubles as a side for your burger, which is a smart move if the tallow fries are calling your name but your conscience isn’t.

Yes. Burger Lounge switched its fries to beef tallow frying, and regulars say it made an already great fry even better. They’re hand-cut, crispy, and genuinely some of the best fast-casual fries in San Diego. Regular fries are $5.94 and the large is $7.14. The Half and Half (half fries, half onion rings) is the move when you can’t decide: $7.14 regular, $8.34 large. BL Dipping Sauces from $0.60, and trust me, get at least two. The truffle aioli and chipotle aioli are both excellent.

Shakes are hand-scooped, thick, and worth the money. The Hand-Scooped Milkshake is $8.34 in classic flavors like chocolate and vanilla, and reviewers consistently call them great. Seasonal limited-time shakes rotate through, like the Kyoto Matcha Milkshake ($7.63) and the fall Pumpkin Spice Shake. Fountain drinks are craft sodas at $4.19 and up, plus bottled Mexican sodas (Coke, Fanta, Sprite) at $5.94, sparkling and still water, and yes, beer and wine at most locations.

The kids menu is simple: a Kid’s Cheeseburger for $8.34 or the Kid’s Cheeseburger Meal for $10.74 with fries and a drink. And here’s the real play: every Tuesday is Kids Eat Free day. Buy any entree and get a free kid’s meal, in-store or online with code KIDS. Tuesday dinner with the family just got a whole lot cheaper.

The short answer: a Lounge Burger runs around 780 calories, a large tallow fries around 700, and a hand-scooped shake around 700. Add it all up and a full classic meal lands in the 2,000-calorie neighborhood, so plan accordingly. The lightest full meal on the board is the grilled chicken sandwich with a side salad (roughly 800 total), and the paleo and protein bowls are built for low-carb and high-protein eaters.

Burger Lounge publishes full nutrition details on its official site, and it’s worth a look if you’re tracking macros, since grass-fed beef and tallow-fried sides have a different profile than standard fast food. The Quinoa Veggie Burger (~550 cal) and the Grilled Chicken Sandwich (~600 cal) are your best bets for lighter ordering.

Burger Lounge runs some of the best recurring deals in fast casual, and most people walk right past them. Here’s the lineup for 2026:

• TRUFFLEMONDAY: the $19.14 Truffle Mushroom-Swiss burger drops to $9.95 every Monday when you order online with code TRUFFLEMONDAY. That’s nearly half off their fanciest burger.
• Kids Eat Free Tuesdays: free kid’s meal with any entree purchase, every Tuesday, in-store or online with code KIDS.
• Lounge Hour (Mon-Thu, 3-5pm): 50% off chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches, sides, beer and wine, in-store only. A 3-5pm chicken tender run is the best value on the menu.
• FRIDAYFAV: a rotating Friday pick at $9.95 with the code when ordering.
• The House Combo: a cheeseburger, hand-cut fries, and a drink bundled cheaper than buying separately. Always ask about the combo version.

Burger Lounge opens at 10:30 AM daily across its California locations. Most spots close at 9:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and stay open until 9:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Hours can vary slightly by location (mall and airport-area stores sometimes differ), so check your local store’s page before heading out.

Burger Lounge was founded in 2007 in La Jolla, San Diego by J. Dean Loring, the son of a butcher who had already opened three restaurants, and his partner Michael Gilligan. Loring’s idea was simple: take the fast-food burger and rebuild it with genuinely better ingredients, single-source grass-fed beef, organic produce, and sustainable practices, without the fine-dining price tag or fuss.

It worked. The chain grew to 24 restaurants across California (San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Bay Area), landed on Forbes’ “America’s 10 Best Burgers” list in 2012, won San Diego Magazine’s “Best Burger” multiple years, and was named “Best New Restaurant” by LA Weekly in 2013. The company composts food waste, uses biodegradable packaging, and converts used cooking oil to biofuel for its delivery vehicles. It’s headquartered at 1101 Wall Street in La Jolla, where the flagship still stands.
