I’ve found my new fave burger and it’s at The Cut! Nestled in a shopping center anchored by an H Mart and a AAA at the corner of Alton Pkwy and Culver Drive, this establishment serves up quality meats and seafood prepared in a from-scratch kitchen. They also offer a curated menu of craft beer, wine and cocktails in a space that blends elevated ambience and neighborhood warmth.
I’ve visited once before for a Yelp Elite event and both the quality and bold, thoughtful flavors remain unparalleled. We visited on a daddy daughter lunch date on a Saturday afternoon and the restaurant was at full capacity, so we opted to sit at the bar. Connor took excellent care of us from the minute we sat down to the minute we departed. My daughter enjoyed a kids cheeseburger meal which also included choice of fries or tots, beverage of choice and ice cream. The burger was bigger than I expected for a kid size and so were the tots, so I’d say it’s a good deal at $17. Connor also mixed and created a Blueberry Lavender Lemonade Mocktail that I was told was a popular drink and it was also a hit with my daughter. I wanted to order the smash burger like I did during my previous visit but was told it’s not offered during brunch. This gave me the opportunity to try a new burger so I went with the OG and it didn’t disappoint. I washed my meal down with a pint of creamy amber ale from Stereo Brewing. Yet another enjoyable handcrafted meal at The Cut in Irvine!

I was in the area and decided to give The Cut a try, and let me tell you, they really are a “Cut” above the rest!
We started with a few appetizers… the Poutine was good, but the Honey Sriracha wings and the Fried Mozzarella were the standouts. However, the real stars here are the burgers. We had the Double Smash and the Truffle & Brie. They use high quality ingredients and cook everything to the perfect temperature.
The vibe is a cool, modern upscale burger spot with a bar, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our meal. It’s a great find in Irvine and definitely worth the stop!

The restaurant has a modern rustic sleek interior design. Plenty of seating for small groups.
My server Nick was friendly and fast with service.
I ordered the double smash burger, the burger was juicy and crisp. Grilled onions were flavorful.

The dining room felt comfortably busy, creating a relaxed mood. I enjoyed a hot cup of tea with bone marrow toast, surprisingly filling despite being a little rich. The team was genuinely kind, even offering hot water once they noticed I felt cold. My friend ordered a burger with a beer, both well enjoyed. A thoughtful place with a welcoming touch.

Been here several times and it doesn’t disappoint. They have an amazing happy hour m-f from 2-6pm that is great. Just started serving brunch on the weekends. The house made chorizo burrito was amazing! Lisa was our server and was fantastic. 5 stars all the way!

Was visiting from out of town and always on the prowl for great burgers during my travels. There are some truly great burger joints in So Cal and The Cut is right up there with the best of them. I always start with the basic burger, and this one did not disappoint. Cooked perfectly to medium rare and seasoned well with a burger to bun ratio that was spot on. The bun held up well and I devoured it immediately. The fries were fantastic as well with plenty of garlic and seasoning to satisfy my needs. The atmosphere is positive with plenty of seating and access to the outside world. Staff was a pleasure to chat with and seemed very proud of the business. Will definitely return when in the area.

We really enjoyed Cut Handcrafted Burgers. The burgers are very tasty and juicy, and unlike many classic American burgers, they don’t leave you feeling heavy afterward.
On the downside, the menu is quite limited if you don’t want a burger or fries, and there aren’t many tables. The service was friendly, although our waiter did mix up the orders. By 5 PM the place was completely full, so it’s clearly popular.
Overall, it’s a good spot, and we’ll definitely be coming back.

Great, small spot with indoor/outdoor seating. Quality burgers with some fun twists available. I had The Cut and was delicious, with plenty of sauce and toppings. Eat fast, the bun will get soggy! They serve draft beer, wine and cocktails. The waitress was friendly, attentive and good and drink arrived fast. Worth checking out for a casual burger and beer for a reasonable price.

There’s not much to say… the quality here is really high — and yes, you pay for it.
Beer and meat, not just the cuts but also the selection.
A truly top-level spot for anyone looking for a signature burger.

I was craving a smashburger and googled this place. I headed over and had a delicious smashburger for $13. Lisa was my server and was exceptional. The atmosphere with the open patio is very relaxing. I will be returning to try the $40 Burger.
