I came here recently to have breakfast while my truck was getting serviced. The food was really good. The owners were very nice and friendly. I walked in to this place with only one other person thinking it's normally not busy but within 30 minutes it was popping. I'll definitely go back.

Old school awesomeness! We were driving through south LA and decided on burgers for lunch. Yelp had great reviews on this place so we stopped by. The reviews are correct, this place is great! I rarely rate places five stars but this place nails it.

4/5 ### George's Hamburgers, Fullerton: Solid Bites in a Legendary Spot, But Patience Required
Tucked away on West Commonwealth Avenue in Fullerton, George's Hamburgers has earned its stripes as a neighborhood cornerstone since the '70s—a no-frills diner where locals flock for hearty, affordable eats that hit the spot without pretense. This family-run joint thrives on word-of-mouth hype, drawing crowds for its massive breakfast burritos, juicy half-pound burgers, and sides that could feed a small army. On a recent weekday lunch run, I dove in expecting the classics, and while the food delivered reliable comfort, the infamous wait times tested my resolve. If you're craving a quick grease fix, brace yourself; this isn't fast food, it's a ritual.
The menu keeps it simple and satisfying: think thick, char-grilled patties slathered in cheese and fixings, or the behemoth breakfast burrito stuffed with fluffy eggs, crispy hash browns, bacon, sausage, and melty cheddar—all wrapped in a toasted flour tortilla that holds together like a champ (pro tip: ranch on the side elevates it to perfection). I went for the double cheeseburger combo with a side of their famed chili cheese fries, and the burger was a winner—juicy, well-seasoned beef with that perfect sear, fresh toppings, and a bun that didn't sog out. Portions? Generous to a fault; the fries alone could serve two, piled high with house-made chili, gooey cheese, and a sprinkle of onions. Everything tasted homemade and flavorful, with that nostalgic diner vibe that keeps folks coming back. Prices seal the deal—under $15 for a full meal that leaves you stuffed and smiling.
That said, the real star—the chili cheese fries—lands squarely in average territory. They're hearty and messy in the best way, with a decent chili that's spicy without overwhelming, but the cheese can cool too quickly into a rubbery layer, and the fries underneath go limp if you're not diving in hot. Solid? Absolutely. Worth the institution-level lines snaking out the door on weekends (or even peak lunch hours)? Eh, not quite. We waited 25 minutes just to order on a Thursday afternoon, and another 15 for the food to hit the table—charming for die-hards, frustrating if you're hangry and just want to eat and go. The tiny space and limited seating amplify the chaos, turning a casual bite into a commitment. Service is friendly and efficient once you're in, but the bottleneck is real.
Bottom line: George's shines for unpretentious, crowd-pleasing grub that's miles better than chain slop, especially if you're in for the full Fullerton experience—grab a burrito to go and skip the sit-down shuffle. But for those chili cheese fries? Save the hype for something that justifies the queue. Great neighborhood fuel, just not a line-stander's dream. 4/5 stars: Tasty tradition with a side of timeout.

Customer service is A1, but I did come early and it wasn’t busy. Had the breakfast burrito after reading some reviews and it didn’t disappoint. Got fries on the side and they were great as well. It came with a cup of salsa and ranch and you can ask for banana peppers as well.
Always friendly and well priced food.
