Costa Mesa, California — Costa Mesa has become one of Orange County’s favorite destinations for food lovers, and for burger fans looking for something a little different, Palms n’ Patties brings a fresh approach to the classic smash burger.
Located at SOCO and The OC Mix, Palms n’ Patties focuses on simple comfort food made with carefully selected ingredients. The restaurant’s philosophy centers around organic, grass-fed and grass-finished beef, seed-oil-free cooking, and fries cooked in beef tallow.
A Burger Built Around Better Ingredients
At Palms n’ Patties, the idea is simple: take a familiar burger and pay close attention to what's going into it.
The restaurant's cheeseburger features 100% organic, grass-fed and grass-finished beef, real American cheese, organic lettuce, dill pickles, grilled onions, and the restaurant's house-made PnP sauce. It's served on a potato bun made without seed oils and described by the restaurant as glyphosate-free.
The result is a straightforward burger that puts the beef, cheese, onions, pickles, and sauce together in a classic combination.
For those who prefer a more pronounced smash-burger experience, the Grilled Smash offers another take on the concept, with the same focus on quality beef, cheese, pickles, grilled onions, and house sauce.
Why the Ingredients Get So Much Attention
One of the things that distinguishes Palms n’ Patties from many conventional burger restaurants is its emphasis on ingredient sourcing and cooking methods.
The restaurant highlights organic grass-fed and grass-finished beef, while its website emphasizes zero seed oils, beef tallow, glyphosate-free buns, non-GMO ingredients, and no artificial dyes.
Rather than presenting an elaborate menu, Palms n’ Patties keeps its food relatively simple and lets those ingredient choices become part of the experience.
For diners who pay attention to how their food is sourced or prepared, that distinction is an important part of what makes the restaurant different.
Don't Forget the Fries
A burger is only as good as its fries, and Palms n’ Patties puts plenty of attention into its side dish.
The restaurant serves fresh, hand-cut fries cooked in preservative-free beef tallow, giving them a different character from fries prepared in conventional vegetable oils.
There's also the Pn’P Fries, which take the hand-cut fries a step further with Parmesan or cheddar cheese and the restaurant's house-made PnP sauce.
For burger fans, ordering the fries alongside a cheeseburger or Grilled Smash makes for a classic combination.
Keep an Eye on the Sauce
Palms n’ Patties' house-made PnP Sauce is another important part of the menu.
The restaurant describes it as a seed-oil-free, fresh house-made aioli. A second option, Green Mayo, is made as a house herb mayo and offers another way to add flavor to the burger and fries.
Whether you like your burger loaded with sauce or prefer just a little, the sauces give diners an easy way to customize the experience.
A Casual Costa Mesa Food Stop
The Costa Mesa location is situated at 3313 Hyland Avenue, Suite C-21, in the SOCO and OC Mix area.
The setting fits the restaurant's fast-casual approach, making it an easy stop for lunch, dinner, or a casual burger outing while exploring the surrounding shopping and dining destination.
The restaurant also offers pickup and delivery, giving customers another option when they want to enjoy the menu at home.
More Than Just Burgers
Although burgers are clearly the centerpiece, Palms n’ Patties also offers a selection of drinks that fits its ingredient-focused approach.
Options include organic coconut water, Mountain Valley spring and sparkling water, and Olipop prebiotic sodas, along with more traditional choices such as Mexican Coke.
The relatively focused menu keeps the experience uncomplicated: order a burger, add fries, choose a drink, and enjoy.
A Different Kind of Burger Experience
Palms n’ Patties is part of a growing Southern California food culture where diners are paying closer attention not only to how food tastes, but also to ingredients and preparation.
Its approach is straightforward: organic beef, simple burger combinations, seed-oil-free cooking, beef-tallow fries, and house-made sauces.
For Costa Mesa locals and visitors exploring the SOCO and OC Mix area, Palms n’ Patties offers another option for the burger list—particularly for diners who want a familiar smash burger while also paying attention to the ingredients behind it.
The SocalEat Take
Costa Mesa has plenty of choices when the burger craving hits, but Palms n’ Patties brings a distinct ingredient-focused approach to the local burger scene.
The combination of smash-style burgers, organic grass-fed and grass-finished beef, hand-cut beef-tallow fries, and house-made sauces gives the restaurant an identity that goes beyond simply serving another burger.
Whether you're already familiar with the Palms n’ Patties concept or discovering it for the first time, the Costa Mesa location is a food stop worth knowing when exploring Orange County's ever-growing dining scene.
