I wouldn’t say I was hooked but overall the place was better than average. I had a mushroom burger, California burger, and a hickory BBQ burger. Also me and my colleagues shared a trio which included a set of regular fries, potato fries, and onion rings. Two sides were included including a thousand Island style sauce with a hint of horseradish, and a ranch sauce side. On average the burgers cost around $10 each, and overall the prices were pretty good. The decoration and atmosphere for top notch, and the service was about average for a place that is fast casual. It’s a good place to get a fast burger for lunch, but it isn’t a gourmet style burger place. Overall 4/5 and would probably come back if I was nearby.

My husband loved this place and took me here and now I appreciate it as well!
They have great food options for great prices (a sandwich is $8)!!
We got the Cobb salad and pesto chicken sandwich (absolutely delicious and great flavor)!! It felt fresh and was so tasty!
Their outdoor seating was so nice and was giving me OC vibes with the way it was set up.

I was nearly overcome by the half pound Hickory Burger. It’s $10.75 for the 1/4 lb single burger and $2.75 for the extra patty. I had to crush the burger a lot to fit it into my mouth. When done eating it, I was glad they didn’t offer a shake since that would have been too much. The fries were poor, luke warm and not fresh. I didn’t finish them. They have optional Cholula hot sauce for those who like hot sauce.
The parking lot is busy at dinner time but we found a spot nearby. The diner is bright and clean, including bathrooms.

Conveniently located next to the nearby shopping plaza, close to the highway. Spacious parking lot with plenty of seating inside – surprisingly warm and inviting atmosphere for a burger chain. I’d never tried Hook before and I was pretty happy with food and service for the price. Burger came quickly and tasted fresh and flavorful—not as cheap as in-and-out, but not as pricey as Shake Shack. Solid choice for a quick and filling meal. Staff was super nice too, and food came quick. Would recommend and go back!

Pretty good and affordable burgers. Not the skimpy kind, but the thick as a hockey puck burgers. Lots of good varieties of burgers. Fries were ok. A bit dry and I had to use ranch and ketchup to eat them, but they looked great. The onion rings looked and smelled good. It may have been a 5 star review if not for the fries.

I’ve been many times and have had many burgers and sandwiches. All of them are good. Try the basic Hook burger first, then try the Maui and Hickory burgers on return trips. Each burger is creative and tastes unique. They’ve got salads and other foods, too. I’d highly recommend ordering ahead.

(6/10/2023) One of friends wanted to try here, and it was pretty good in opinion. Great places to have chatting with friends, and service was nice and fast compared to others. Ordered couples item on the menu, and I liked Maui Burger and Salad because of not heavy (Maui Burger) and fresh (Salad). Also, Sweet Potato fries was decent as well according by my friends.
Overall, probably came back with my friends to try other sandwiches or burger when around the area, and I recommend Maui Burger because Grilled Pineapple is a good match in a burger.

Hook Burger – Pasadena: A Great Burger with a Side of Noise
Hook Burger in Pasadena has quickly become one of my favorite spots for a quality burger. The star of the menu for me is their Maui Burger. The combination of flavors, from the perfectly grilled pineapple to the tangy teriyaki sauce, is spot on. The patty is always juicy, and the toppings are fresh, making every bite a delightful experience.
However, as much as I love the food, the atmosphere could use a little adjustment. The music is consistently too loud, which can make it challenging to have a conversation. It slightly detracts from the otherwise pleasant dining experience.
If they could tone down the volume, Hook Burger would be a near-perfect spot to enjoy a meal. For now, it’s still worth a visit—just be prepared for a louder environment.

It was my first visit here and had a great experience. The taste and ambience were amazing but it was the service that was a home run! I forgot to mention no Bacon but they were still kind enough to accommodate the request after the burger was ready.
