Bomb as burger spot. Lady was so nice. 10 mins wait. Definitely coming back
Mama's Snack Shack came in clutch today! Amazing pastrami burgers and the salsa on it was a fantastic touch! The chili dog with everything on it was one of the best I have ever had! Not only was the food good but they were grateful for the business and it reflected in the food! I well be back!
That bacon turkey burger yummy 😋🤤

Mama's Snack Shack is a beloved burger spot known for its excellent and outstanding burgers. The menu features delicious options like the double cheeseburger, double turkey burger, double bacon cheeseburger, and hot links. Customers love that they can add an egg, pastrami, or an extra patty, and choose from hot relish and sweet relish. The pastrami is amazing and the chili is A1. Sides include fresh homemade fries, chili cheese fries, and cheese fries, though some note the hand cut fries can be greasy.
The food is very delicious and the price is very reasonable and right, especially compared to other burger stands. It is considered the cheapest decent burger in LA, offering much better quality than nearby fast food for the same price. Orders are cooked right there, making a short wait worth it.
The owner, Mama, is incredibly friendly, generous, sweet, kind, and accommodating, treating customers like family. The atmosphere is welcoming, with regulars coming and going. The storefront in Compton can be easy to miss, with the trick being to drive into the large parking lot just south of it. Many whole families enjoy the meal, and customers strongly recommend stopping by, planning to return for more with the goal of eating everything on the menu.
