Huntington Beach is as American as a beach town gets. We boast the largest annual Fourth of July Parade west of the Mississippi, and we are all about that burger. Here are seven local spots building the most mouth-watering stacks, from your traditional cheeseburger to unimaginable combos.

Pacific Hideaway 

Pacific Hideaway is primarily known as a Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, Latin & South America restaurant serving up healthy options, and it does it well. But what you really want to pay attention to here is their big juicy burger. Named "Hideaway Burger," it consists of double meat, American Cheese, secret sauce, onion, lettuce, pickle, house fries, all between two fresh buns. And if you want to get fancy with it, add egg or bacon to top it off.
