Overview

For those seeking burgers, Santa Monica Pier offers the perfect spot. Pier Burger is a single-story counter-serve burger shack with indoor and covered outdoor dining. It has a walk-up window as well—highly recommended if you’re not dining in, especially during the busy summer season.

This super-popular restaurant serves up a variety of juicy burgers along with fries, hot dogs, crispy chicken, fish sandwiches, shakes, floats, and frozen custard. Pier Burger has been a Santa Monica Pier staple since 2012, with a prime location next to the iconic Route 66 End of the Trail sign.
