I tried the Mushroom Burger at Pharos Burgers, and wow — it was absolutely fantastic. From the first bite, it’s clear that every component of this burger is carefully crafted. The patty is juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The mushrooms are sautéed to perfection — earthy, savory, and rich — and they pair beautifully with the melted cheese. The bun is soft yet sturdy, holding everything together without getting soggy, which is more important than people realize in a great burger.
What really sets this burger apart is the balance of flavors and textures. The mushrooms add depth without overpowering the beef, the cheese adds creaminess, and the seasoning is just right — you can taste all the ingredients without anything being too salty or too heavy. Every bite is satisfying, indulgent, and keeps you wanting more.
The portion size is generous, and the burger is hearty enough to be a full meal, but it never feels overwhelming. Service at Pharos Burgers was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for grabbing a great burger without fuss.
Overall, the Mushroom Burger is easily one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time — flavorful, perfectly balanced, and just downright delicious. If you’re a burger lover, this one is not to be missed.

The double burger with avocado is good but not as I expected for the price of adding avocado.In overall the quality is about a 3.5.I will return to try another item the future.

I went here on a Friday about 5pm and ordered a chicken dinner , that came with chicken that's double dipped in the oil and a salad that just had romane lettuce with no tomatoes or cucumber very plain. It was very greasy and very dry chicken inside. Please don't order this for almost 17 dollars save your money. Disappointed.
Pharos has always been good but I’m getting very tired of ordering combos advertised with a drink and I still have to pay for a drink extra on the side. Also if you guys can please update the pricing, you have items on the menu that are actually 2-3 dollars more than their listed price on the menu and that’s a big difference for a lot of people.

Fast food. Handsome guy at the counter, not welcoming, no eye contact. Only filled the small drink that came with the meal halfway, and he knew it, capped it anyway, and handed it over by making me reach over a large counter. Weird attitude for no reason. However, the French fries were crispy and fluffy. 5/5 The gyro (one of the most expensive items on menu @$16 ) was actually good with only the clunky chucks of tomato falling out...good ratio of tzatiki sauce and onions. 5/5
I'd passed by for years but always wondered about the place bec it always seemed busy, kinda like a truckers stop busy. There was an extensive menu suspended above the grill...I saw that hamburgers and hot dogs all reasonably price under $7. There's even the throwback of Orange Bang on the menu. Too bad the buff guy taking orders was so ugh. Back to the gym, dude. Put someone nice and welcoming for front of house. Place was busy tho at 1 pm on a weekday, nice and clean, with ample seating on patio. And small two and four person booths that make it perfect for singleton dining. I had fun stopping by for my fast food culinary adventure, but won't be back. Not that this establishment would care.

My sons and I tried Pharos for the 1st time. We had fries, fried zucchini, 1/4 lb burger, bacon double cheese burger, pastrami sandwich, coke, and raspberry iced tea. We all said it was the best we have ever had. We used to go to another famous pastrami place but this tops them. I'm telling my other family members and will bring them here.

We came as a group of three, and after having lunch here, all of us ended up with severe and very unpleasant diarrhea. Something was clearly wrong with the food. This was a terrible experience, and we definitely won't be coming back.
