Founded in Newport Beach in 1986, TK Burgers has been serving fresh, charbroiled burgers to Southern California for over 30 years. Owner Jim Kalatschan turned his vision of “gourmet fast-food” into a family-owned institution, blending high-quality ingredients, a secret seasoning perfected over decades, and a casual Newport Beach surf vibe. Starting with a single location, Jim expanded TK Burgers into five classic restaurants and six custom food trucks, making them a staple in the local catering scene. Known for their never-frozen patties and laid-back atmosphere filled with vintage surfboards and memorabilia, TK Burgers delivers a taste of Southern California nostalgia. Whether serving charbroiled Angus beef burgers, turkey burgers, or Impossible patties, TK Burgers combines history, quality, and community spirit—making them the go-to choice for corporate events, weddings, and backyard parties alike.
