Nice burger place in Santa Monica. A little over-priced for what it is, but the burgers are undeniably tasty. Good service, friendly staff, cool airplane hangar vibe.

for such a lovely spot, simply underwhelming service, perhaps cuz i came towards closing time in February, but Posh burger without any ad ons was unexpectedly small and mostly fluffed up with your typical assorted salad leaves, Strawberry Lemonade was wayyy too sweet, chili fries was really soggy and just not itidk i think i caught them at a below avg day but damn, i think im writing this review to vent the disappointment but also hope this makes them grow because there’s a lot of potential

How have I lived here for as long as I have without knowing about this little gastronomical gem. A friend introduced me one night and I was instantly hooked on the place and the Pono burger with the Pono sauce. I’m a fan of sweet potato fries and those were quite divine, aioli on the side. We just went back for a casual Sunday lunch as our last food hoorah after Thanksgiving. That LUNCH! Perfection. Highly recommend. Have the spicy marg to go along with it. Light, refreshing, also perfection. Pono appetit!

The buffalo chicken wrap was delicious and not dry. The happy hour size beef nachos were really good! The poniolo burger was good if your an onion ring person. The garlic fries and sweet potato fries and good. The Cajun chicken salad was great!

I would seem we arrived during an off-moment but we weren’t greeted for over 15 minutes in the “hut”, we then moved onto the patio hoping service would be better if we’re within eyesight. We only saw our server table side twice the entire time. The service was extremely slow for there only being one other table in the restaurant. The unkempt staff was standing around drinking lattes. The food was cooked to death — the burgers were so, so overcooked after asking for them medium. The fries were so shriveled and hollow they were tasteless, and the bun was stale and crumbly. The Oreo shake was great but an extremely small portion as the glass was half full of whipped cream. I ate at Pono burger years ago and was so impressed, I know it’s tough out there these days but this time the whole vibe just felt a like it was little abandoned by any type of ownership or management.

Hidden in plain sight, this place is a must-try when in Santa Monica.
