Reviews
Got the Sweet Potato Fritters (pretty tasty). Didn’t love the quesadilla (but the bartender warned me it’s very spicy—chili oil added)—won’t get it again.
Fireball was delicious and bartender was friendly and helpful!
Lots of HH food and drink options. Go check it out!
2nd visit—Monday—Burger Specials—got the Western—requested Lettuce Wrap & Extra Crisp Bacon (was barely cooked) on a bun! ☹️ returned with a slice of romaine under and 1 on top with still undercooked bacon
When they finally remade was a bit better—still lettuce wrap is not their thing and extra crisp bacon is not understood! Anyway, burger itself was good. Pickled Deviled Eggs are def not my thing—egg whites are rubbery from soaking in vinegar and just not a good taste!
Brussel Sprouts are good after you toss them and let them sit for 20+minutes. Garlic Aioli is very good. Vibe is best for bar, but great for dining. All hardwood floors and seating, except some metal chairs near the back indoor patio. Parking can be a challenge. Very dark hallway to the bathrooms. And dark inside the women’s bathroom.
Whiskey selection is great and have a saloon in the back. Indoor/outdoor seating and a shuffleboard inside. Happy hour has some good deals too!
Burgers:
The burgers at Wild Goose Tavern are nothing short of spectacular. They are crafted with high-quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. Each burger is juicy, flavorful, and generously portioned. Some standout options include:
Classic Cheeseburger: A timeless favorite with a perfectly grilled patty, melted cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, and their special sauce.
Gourmet Options: For those looking to try something different, the tavern offers unique creations like the BBQ Bacon Burger or the Spicy Jalapeño Burger, each packed with bold flavors.

Atmosphere:
The tavern has a lively and welcoming vibe, making it a great spot to hang out with friends or family. The interior is cozy with a rustic charm, featuring wooden accents and dim lighting that create a warm and inviting ambiance. There’s also outdoor seating for those who prefer to enjoy their meal al fresco.

Drink Selection:
In addition to their fantastic burgers, Wild Goose Tavern offers a great selection of beers, cocktails, and other beverages. Their drink menu complements the food perfectly, with plenty of options to pair with your meal.
Location:
Conveniently located in Newport Beach, the tavern is easily accessible and makes for a great stop whether you’re exploring the area or just looking for a satisfying meal.
Great Happy Hour. Attentive and friendly service.
Cons:
Men’s room is disgusting. Been here multiple times and always smells of rancid urine and is usually full of flies. Sinks are rusting as well.
Food is hit or miss. The burger I had was a disaster. Way too much sauce and it was a soggy mess after a couple bites. I tried the blackened shrimp tacos instead the next time and they were pretty solid but nothing to write home about. My friend had one of the sandwiches though and said it was really good. Maybe I just picked the wrong items on the menu.
