There’s one cheeseburger served in California that stands above the rest, no frills, no gimmicks, just pure, mouthwatering perfection.

It's the kind of burger that makes you pause mid-bite, wondering how something so simple can taste so unforgettable. The patty is thick, juicy, and expertly seasoned, grilled to that ideal point where flavor and texture meet.

A generous slice of melted cheese wraps around it like a warm blanket, while crisp toppings and a soft, lightly toasted bun bring it all together. It’s not trying too hard because it doesn’t need to. This cheeseburger has certainly earned its reputation with every bite, and locals and visitors seem to agree!

According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best cheeseburger in California is served at Bunz in Huntington Beach.

Garaje in San Francisco also made the list.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the restaurant that serves the best cheeseburger in the entire state:

"You can order your cheeseburger any way you like at Bunz. The patty will always be fresh and tasty, and the customizable add-ons include everything from nacho cheese and fried egg to bacon and pastrami. If you want to stick to the menu, though, the item the joint is known for is the Pastrami Cheese Burger. A regional specialty popular in and around Utah, the pastrami-loaded burger at Bunz is a thing of beauty and not to be missed."
