Before my burger and fries arrived, I received my chocolate malt which was sooo scrumptious! When my food came out, I first dug into the fries and told my friend, "So these fries are some of the best fries I've had, good start." The burger may have been the best burger I've ever had. I ordered a bacon-bleu burger and the Bleu cheese is definitely worth noting. It wasn't just crumbles, or dressing, but a kind of spread that was so incredibly flavorful! It was so overwhelming, I couldn't finish. The burger was juicy, made just right at medium, the bun is exactly what you want in a burger bun. They offer grilled onions, which I opted in for. The lettuce and pickles were potentially the highest quality I have come across on a burger. That goes for probably every ingredient on the burger. I have known about this place since it opened and am extremely disappointed in myself for never making an effort to stop by!I also want to address the ratings wherein people complain about the price. Show me a place with a comparable burger for the same price or less! You can't do it. The burgers here are a true experience, and worth every bit of the cost!Vegetarian options: They have a portobello mushroom burger option that I noticed.

This place is a hidden treasure, and I'm about to spill all the juicy details. Their hot dogs are so good, they could give Costco a run for their money. Who would've thought? I opted for a cheeseburger, plain and simple, with a little lettuce thrown in (gotta get those veggies somehow, right?). The patty was juicy, the cheese perfectly melted, and the overall combination was just divine. The only downside? They only serve chips as a side.The Rider Club Cafe takes their brews seriously. They have a unique draft beer selection that will make any beer enthusiast weak in the knees. Just ask the staff to share their brewing knowledge with you, and you'll be sipping on liquid gold in no time. Try it with their gourmet beers on tap. Awesomeness!!!

Chili and fries were good, but the burger was a miss again. Tasted like an average kind of bland back yard burger, but the meat was fresh not a preformed patty. 2nd time with the same experience.

My buddy who grew up in San Clemente really wanted to take me here on a quick vacation we had. I had one of their classic burgers with fries. It was awesome! Definitely loved the burger. Loved everything about it from the burger down to the meat. Fries were good but nothing to write home about. If/when I come back, I will definitely make a stop here and grab another burger!

Good burger, decent fries, a half dozen beers on tap. Got the dive joint vibe. Expensive, but prices are what they are, if people keep paying them they'll keep charging them.Parking: Parking on the side of the restaurant is a door ding or bumper scuff waiting to happen. I'll just park on the street next time

Really cool and old school burger joint. Lot's of choices on the menu and a good selection of beer's to choose from, nice patio to sit and enjoy the nice weather. Now about the food! I had a classic cheese burger with bacon added, It comes with a really good brioche bun toasted, a thick fresh ground beef patty cooked to order, spring mix for greens, pickels, cheddar cheese or other choices and grilled onions or raw, Your choice of spread, ketchup, mustard I think mayo, in any combination you want and really good fries on the side, and a rootbeer, also good. And I have to say that it all was very good even great. We all ordered different things and nobody was disappointed or unhappy with their orders. This place is a little gem and I do recommend checking it out, if your not looking for "Fancy" then you are in the right place. Really good burgers, beer and fries in a cool spot! What else do you need?
Juicy burgers, bomb fries, and good vibes. Staff was friendly and hard at work. Won't be disappointed!

Good-tasting, made-to-order food. Good selection of drinks.However if you get a meal and a drink it’s pushing close to $30 now. And still very expensive for the burger by itselfParking: There are only about 10 spots. Coming when it’s busy is difficult
