Poche Burger Kitchen - San Clemente

We met a customer. It was excellent. I have a burger, forget who, but it was delicious. My client ordered the chicken sandwich. That looked great. Large beer selection and good mood. Quiet enough to have a conversation. Parking is anger when the DMV is open.

My wife and I were very hungry, in the mood for a burger and salad, and had read lots of great reviews about this place. Let's do it! We had trouble locating the restaurant due to lack of lighting, but no bother, we picked up our avocado burger and arugula salad with steak and headed home. When we got home, we found a very undercooked burger (see photo) with no avocado. Especially a bummer because avocado is tied for my favorite food! Also, the steak on the salad (they claimed to be out of grilled chicken, our first choice) was off-colored (see next photo). I don't know if it was overdone or just bad, but I was not willing to risk anything to taste it. Overall, a bummer of a dinner for both of us. We ended up tossing the rest of the $27 meal into the trash after a few bites. This was our experience, and we hope it was just an off-night for this place!

This cozy restaurant offers a variety of delicious options including burgers, tacos, sandwiches, and salads. It features a great bar with friendly service and affordable prices. There’s also a foosball table and plenty of TVs for entertainment.

Great BBQ burger! The atmosphere is very relaxed, and the staff are friendly. It's located in a nice neighborhood too.

I stopped by for the DMV Lunch Special after working on my car. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries. Everything was delicious—no complaints at all, although the fries in the basket seemed a bit odd. If I’m ever back in the area, I’d definitely consider returning to try another one of their burgers.
