Imitation fast food - Edit
I ordered DoorDash from here as it was one of the few vegan options which could deliver lunch to the Anaheim convention center. Liked the food. It tasted like fast food, good but not healthy

Spicy Chicken Sandwich!! - Edit
I enjoyed the wings with mango habanero sauce, sweet potato fries and a premium spicy chicken sandwich. It was way too much food and I’m okay with that. Loved every bite and forgot to take photo ‘cause I was hungry. Great service. I ate inside and the staff was friendly.

Excellent selection! - Edit
Ordered: chili cheeseburger, fish filet, fries, drink.
Read moreI was driving by and saw the sign outside saying 100% vegan and I pulled in to the parking lot to find out. Was overwhelmed by the amount of selection at first but the staff was friendly and helpful in selecting some items. The chili cheeseburger was really tasty, I think that it may have been my first vegan chili cheeseburger so the nostalgia had hit. The fish filet was good, nice textures, but after having the chili cheeseburger it didn’t feel as flavorful. The fries came unsalted and they gave us two dipping sauces, yall know I like my spice so I got the buffalo dipping sauce and chipotle aioli. Chipotle aioli had a very mild spice and the buffalo sauce was tangy in the way you expect a buffalo sauce to be. They serve stubborn sodas in their soda fountain which I love, I went with the vanilla agave creme soda, super sugary and delicious. If I’m in the area again I will be back to sample more burgers, probably their chicken sandwiches. Would recommend for anyone craving some good vegan fast food style sandwiches.
Pros: Excellent selection, Stubborn soda fountain, Nice dipping sauces

Milkshake is the best - Edit
I got spicy chicken sandwich, Neapolitan milkshake and tater tots. The chicken sandwich tastes very tofu-y and could need more sauce. The milkshake is really good!!

A wide variety of fast food options and reasonably priced. - Edit
A wider variety of options than other vegan burger joints. They have many styles of burgers and other types of sandwiches patterned after popular selections from major chain restaurants. Most of the competitors in the plant-based burger game either only carry fries, sweet potato fries, or tater tots for sides, but Nice Burger carries all of them. Two years ago, I visited their Costa Mesa location a few times. Every time the food has been delicious and the staff has been very warm and welcoming.

Huge portions, especially if you have a hankering for vegan junk food. Love their vegan milkshakes too. Had it twice. Wish it was open later though since I sometimes only had time to eat later at night.

Cons: Wish it had later opening hours, Wish there was Nice Burger in other countries 😀

Big Flavorful Food in Santa Ana - Edit
Having been wanting to visit this restaurant for some time, I was excited when hubby and I finally got a chance to stop by. Upon driving up, I was impressed by the large "Nice Burger" sign as well as the 100% Vegan noted under the sign. Although they also offer drive-thru, we decided to do dine in for our first visit.
Read moreAs we entered the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by employees and asked if we had any questions. Hubby asked about whether their meat contained nuts (since hubby has severe nut allergy) and was told that they Beyond burger.
After utilizing their self serve kiosk, I ordered a combo with their breakfast burger, animal style fries, and a soda while hubby ordered a combo with their grilled shroom burger and chili cheese tater tots.
Our food was quickly delivered to our table by an employee who regularly checked if the food was satisfactory. The burgers were hot and delicious and the fries were crispy and cheesy.
The overall restaurant atmosphere is chill with the combination of smoothies Jazz playing in the background along with a big screen TV showing a display of a comfortable room with a fireplace.
Following our delicious meal and having such friendly service, we definitely plan to visit again the next time we are in the area.
Pros: Friendly Staff, Attentive to Those With Nut Allegeries
Cons: Some might feel their food is a bit pricey

So much food - Edit
Came here and ordered inside at the self-order kiosk. The food ended up taking over twenty minutes to come out but they were sweet and apologetic and gave us a free shake for the inconvenience. The food was good too. The sides are huge! The spicy chicken sandwich isn’t very spicy but I’d still recommend it. The big boy burger was amazing. We’d come back to try other items.

Great burgers , great people! - Edit
Stopped in to try a burger after reading Yelp reviews and discovered this gem! Looking for burgers and fries but vegan? They have a huge menu and great selection of fountain drinks including the pineapple cream soda I got , I tried to mushroom burger 10/10 just gotta tell them light on the mushrooms next time cause there was ALOT but delicious they were! And the chicken nuggets 7/10 tbh they had the McDonald’s type breading which isn’t my favorite but it felt good to eat and not weird at all! Very filling aswell for only 6 nuggets . Overall I’ll be coming again when I come back to the area ! They actually told me about this app and I’m so grateful ! Great job guys at nice burger!

Yum - Edit
This place is pretty good. The chicken sandwiches used to be my favorite thing to get before my sensitivity to wheat got worse. Vegan chicken sandwiches like these are a rare find. Thankfully they offer gluten free burger options including a gluten free bun. I would give a four and a half about the burger taste since I have had more enjoyable vegan burgers elsewhere although these are still tasty. I’m overall pleased with this place and enjoy going. I love that they offer tater tots and “animal style” tots or fries.

The “Big Guy.” - Edit
On the drive home from Los Angeles, we stopped at Nice Burgers, and it was my favorite meal of the trip. After wanting to try nice Burger for a while, I now feel as if they do vegan fast food right. It’s classic American fast food: heavy, a tad oily, but somehow comforting. We ordered the “Big Guy” chicken tenders, tater tots, and a strawberry milkshake. The chicken tenders were not my favorite vegan fast-food chicken tenders, but they were tasty. The milkshake was a bit sweet for me (to be fair, I don’t like milkshakes), but my boyfriend loved it. However, the “Big Guy” was the star of the show for me. Assembled to mimic a big mac, the thin crispy patties with the thousand island sauce, cheese, and lettuce was amazing. The “Big Guy” with the tater tots reminded me of something I would eat as a child. The drive-through concept was nostalgic, and the food came out pretty quickly. I understand the hype around Nice Burger!

I absolutely love eating here because I always leave will a full stomach. Everything on the menu is good. My all time favorite though is the Mexicali burger combo. The pineapple dole whip is very good as well. Drink selection has a good variety of choices. You won’t be disappointed when you eat here.

Tasty Vegan Fast Food in Santa Ana - Edit
Enjoyed the tasty Jr. Nice Burger (nice size, with tots on side), not mega filling but hit the spot! The vegan burger was delightful and personnel were very kind!
Read moreAreas of improvement (IMO) would be in the attention to aesthetics of the establishment (overall cleanliness, streamline layout, newer paint interior/exterior). I appreciate that they took an existing building but I think there’s lots of potential for making it even better!
Pros: Yummy Vegan Burger, Personnel/Staff were Attentive and Kind, Large Outdoor Signage from Street
Cons: Interior/Exterior Could Be Modernized + Revamped
