Can’t taste the cheese on the burger. You should be able to if you’re paying $11 for a burger. You also have to put more mustard on the burger because they don’t add enough. It also needed more salt and pepper.
Also don’t leave a tip when you order. Water is self serve. Service is lazy. Tables are dirty. They call your name and then walk away. Too busy chatting away with each other. Had to ask for my ranch because they forgot it and then they looked annoyed at me for asking for it. ???

It's a great place to stumble into after a night of drinking, straight and to the point but I do feel like the cookery needs to be a higher level for how simple the food is. Would've liked more of a crust on my burger for example but they melt the cheese with the burger, which is delicious, but there's a way to get both. Same goes for the price, if you're gonna charge more than in & Out, then you need to give me a better product. I want to come back here one day. There's potential.

Top tier burger joint. Nothing flashy. Just perfect burger and fries Their potato buns are the Martin's brand. Super soft pillows. Great flavor. The meat is full of flavor and are as juicy as it gets The crinkle cut fries tastes very good. Think of the best classic fry you ever had. Nice crispy outside to the fries. Plenty of fries in a box.
$11 for a double cheeseburger and its worth every penny. Its quite filling despite its smaller size too so dont worry.

Music is so loud it's hard to enjoy yourself while eating.
Potato buns, beefier than your average flat top, almost ground beefy, absolutely tasty pickles sprinkled generously on every burger.
Those pastrami fries are the real deal. Heavy, cheesy, saucy -and it had onions to balance it out - a huge touch

This is my favorite burger place. The burgers are cheesy and delicious. The french fries are always crispy and warm. I’m happy they expanded the place and now there’s plenty of tables to dine in.
Best Burger I've had in a long time, friendly staff and the pickles are delicious. Definitely worth traveling to and the fries are also great 👍

4.8/5 **Nilly's Burgers Review** Don't rush a good burger!
Nestled in a bustling strip mall on Pioneer Boulevard in Artesia—just a stone's throw from Cerritos, CA—Nilly's Neighborhood Burger Shop is a smash-hit destination for burger lovers craving authenticity and flavor. This unassuming spot, right across from a McDonald's, flips the script on fast food with its smashburger technique, where thin beef patties sizzle on a hot griddle until their edges crisp to perfection. Don't be in a rush; the line can snake out the door during peak hours, but the payoff is immense. And definitely bring your hunger for a delicious double cheeseburger—two juicy patties layered with gooey American cheese, caramelized onions, tangy mustard, and pickles, all tucked into a toasted potato bun that holds up without sogginess.
What sets Nilly's apart is the simplicity done right. The double cheeseburger explodes with savory, umami-packed bites, the onions adding a sweet char that elevates every layer. Pair it with their chili cheese fries—golden crinkles smothered in hearty chili and molten cheddar—for a side that steals the show. The vibe is casual and community-driven: a few indoor seats, counter spots, and mostly takeout, with sparkling clean counters and friendly staff hustling amid the aroma of grilling beef. Bottled sodas keep things refreshing, and prices won't break the bank.
Sure, the wait might test your patience, and parking in the one-way lot can be tricky, but one bite erases any gripe. Nilly's isn't just a meal; it's a neighborhood ritual worth driving for. If you're near Cerritos Mall or 99 Ranch Market, detour here—your taste buds will thank you.
