50 Best Burger Restaurants near Monterey Park

“very nice service 👍 always come back“

“I love their pastrami dip sandwiches. Full of meat and good bread. One thing for sure they are consistent. Their meat is always moist, tender and with flavor. Check cliseingtimes out. Usually half hour before posted time.The one on Atlantic closes at 1am not 130am. All the restaurants, I have gone to a few, are clean including bathrooms. I drive from LA to enjoy this treat. All are either in Pasadena or east of LA. I wish their was one in the south bay/ LA area.Other foods are offered too. Staff are polite.“

“Enchiladas are delicious“

“Donuts are so fresh and delish. Been going there since they opened. Lunch is also good and freash.“

“A wonderful family owned and friendly donut shop but with a little more than just donuts.

I love stopping by to get some fresh squeezed juices, donut and a breakfast sandwich, that is my usual.

Always greeted with a hello friend or good morning, if alone always asks how my wife is.

Food is always fresh and the donuts are not overly sweet but just sweet enough.
Always accommodating, one day wanted a maple bar which were all sold out, only to have a couple made fresh. Not many places go that above and beyond for their customers. Most places would just say, sorry, we’re sold out!

Came for lunch one day, had the teriyaki chicken bowl, very tasty and just the right size, but I could not finish all of it.

Like I stated before, a wonderful and great family owned shop nestled in their little corner.
We need more family owned shops like this.“

“Food was hot and fresh“

“McDonald's is one of the better McDonald’s locations I have visited in the area. The restaurant was recently renovated, and the new design makes the place look much cleaner, brighter, and more modern. The updated seating area is comfortable, and the overall atmosphere feels more welcoming compared to older McDonald’s locations.
One thing I notice every time I come here is how many students visit this location. Since it is close to schools and residential areas, many students come here after class to eat, study, meet friends, or simply relax. During the afternoons and evenings, the restaurant often feels lively and energetic, but it is still usually well maintained and organized.
The service is also pretty efficient. Even during busy hours, the staff works quickly and the wait time is normally reasonable. The self-order kiosks are convenient and help make the ordering process easier. Another big advantage is the parking. There are usually enough parking spaces available, which makes visiting this location much more convenient than some other busy restaurants nearby.
Overall, this McDonald’s has improved a lot after the renovation. The clean environment, convenient location, and active atmosphere make it a great place for a quick meal or a casual hangout spot for students and local residents.“

“We had a 9PM, Sunday reservation at Sora Craft Kitchen, and when we first pulled up, we genuinely thought we were at the wrong place. The surrounding area is very dark and industrial at night, there were barely any cars around, and from the outside you would never expect what’s waiting for you inside.

The second we walked in, it was a completely different atmosphere. It was quiet and super ambient. One thing that immediately surprised me was that it didn’t smell like at all. We were greeted by the chef himself, and seeing him prepare everything right in front of us made the experience even more special. He was essentially running the kitchen himself, yet every dish came out surprisingly fast, fresh, and beautifully prepared.

We started with the Dry-Aged Tenderloin Shish Kebab, and that alone immediately set the tone for dinner. The beef was incredibly flavorful and tender.

Then the chef brought out the Mastabe and PLEASE!! If you come here, ORDER THIS. It ended up becoming the staple of our entire dinner. It’s this creamy house-made yogurt, we literally started adding it to EVERYTHING. The garlicky, creamy freshness somehow complemented every meat and every dish without overpowering anything.

Next came the Siverek Tava, and this one completely blew me away. The combination of ground beef, tomato, and roasted eggplant was incredible. My boyfriend HATES eggplant. Like, refuses to order anything with eggplant level of hate. Even he was shocked at how good it was and how perfectly the eggplant worked with the beef. Huge props to the chef because changing someone's mind about an ingredient they swear they hate says a lot.

The Grilled Branzino came next and was a perfect change of pace. Simple, fresh, perfectly grilled, and topped with vegetables. After all the richer flavors, the fish felt light and refreshing while still having plenty of flavor.

Then we had the Icli Kofte, which might have been one of the biggest surprises of the night. I wasn't expecting such an explosion of flavor from this dish.

Our last savory dish was the Garlic-Spiced Kebab. At this point I was so full and genuinely thought there was no way I was going to finish another dish... and then I kept eating it. It was smoky, garlicky, juicy, and so flavorful that I literally couldn't stop.

And somehow we still made room for dessert.

We finished with the Cheese Halva with Yuzu–Black Sesame Ice Cream, and it was the PERFECT ending. The warm cheese halva practically melted in our mouths. While the ice cream had this refreshing flavor that reminded us of mint and pistachio. The pistachio pieces underneath added the perfect crunch and texture to balance everything out.

What impressed me most about Sora wasn't just one specific dish. It was how thoughtfully everything paired together. Every dish tasted completely different. Nothing felt generic or like something you could order at any other restaurant. You can genuinely taste the freshness and the amount of thought the chef puts into the flavors, textures, and pairings.

Don't let the location fool you. Once you walk through those doors, it's this little hidden gem where the food completely speaks for itself.

Mastabe is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Order it and put it on everything.

Such an amazing dinner and the perfect way to end our day. We left ridiculously full and already talking about coming back. Easily one of the best meals we've had so far.“

“Very Clean and the staff are all very respectful.“

“Alimentos sabrosos y atención rápida“

“I've been to many burger spots in my life, but I've never had a burger as good as the Chef Burger from Burger Bun. I'm talking perfectly seasoned beef, and delicious (but not overpowering) burger sauce, crisp vegetables, and the brioche bun is spectacular. There's no burger in Glendale that even comes close. The wings are also some of the best I've ever had and the homemade sauces are so, so tasty. The fries are perfect, and they have amazing milkshakes too. To top it all off, the service is ridiculously good, and the prices are fair. This is my go-to spot in town.“

“Es un lugar de comida rápida, con mucha afluencia de personas; el sabor de la hamburguesas es bueno pero podrían mejorar la limpieza de los comedores.“

“This was the perfect burger!!“

“When got to drive-up the guy couldnt gueas which order was mine. i had to remind him. Fries were cold and soggy. The size of the burger was the smallest than I've ever seen before. Same was true for the fries. My first visit for a long time. Disappointing. Wayne Weaver 6262622068“

“ase unas 2 horas compramos unas hordenes y 2 burritos que nos dio mucho gusto por lo grande que se miraban y nuestra sorpresa que solo era Arroz y frijoles que pena 😞 😡😡“

“This place is beautiful!! The staff are amazing, thoughtful and kind. And the food is incredible. After years of walking past, i went in yesterday with my dog Rocket, who was thrilled to find out they had a dog menu also. He really enjoyed his puppy patty. We cant wait to go back. Thank You All.“

“It is the best vegan restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. Unfortunately there isn’t one where we live. But anytime I am in CA we always go to the one in Riverside.“

“Very nice atmosphere worth the wait for the burgers very delicious“

“Reasonably priced burgers in downtown LA! We had the boss burger and the vegan burger, both delicious--and don't forget the crispy, well seasoned fries :) Will definitely be returning. Just be warned that there is only outdoor seating, just a couple of tables that people share and leave after eating, so plan accordingly.“

“Is the best places in downtown for lunch to workers Los Angeles ,the first workers so good and so nicely, service to any people and that sodas coca kola so delicious all workers so nice and the boos is so cute friendly and excellent service I love this place Paulina ortiz and I have good friends in the local neighbors to workers“

“I had a cheeseburger, fries and a Coke, I have to say this was the best burger I have had in long time. The cheeseburger was juicy not dry and the lettuce and tomatoes were not just thrown on it. It was very good…“

“Do you love our Billboard? Spin360corefitness.com/godbillboards“

“I was hungry late at night after an event and resigned myself to the local overrated In n Out - until I arrived to find it a madhouse of mopheaded teens with lines out the door. Drove to Arry's instead and got a better burger, literally twice the size in 100x less time. That's about all I can report - good fast food burgers.“

“Un excelente lugar para desayunar y cenar se los recomiendo tengo mas de 20 años visitándolo.“

“Food was delicious. Got a cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate shake. I'm very picky lol. They got my order right! Fries nice and crisy just how I like them.
Chocolate shake so good.

Will be going back. Want to try breakfast“

“I'm a bit late in posting this, but I wanted to make sure a phenomenal employee gets the credit he deserves. On Labor Day, we went through the drive-thru and were helped by Jonathan. His customer service was absolutely exceptional—so much so that he's the entire reason I'm writing this review today. Outstanding service like his is hard to come by!“

“Anytime you wanna eat and you in Cali go here“

“Came here during my vacation a few years ago. First time ever eating their world famous burgers. I was very happy with their hamburgers. The fries need improvement. Friendly staff. Old school restaurant.“

“always great food and even better that we can dine in. Anniversary dinner“

“1 star for atmosphere because it is drive thru only no inside seating. Which is fine because I go for the food. They are busy but line moves fast. Please don't make a left on to Telegraph when you exit. Go around the block back to Mills it's safer“

“It’s In-N-Out! Food was good!“

“clean friendly and fast very good food!“

“Great ravioli 😋 and pizza“

“Amazing burgers. Never disappoint. Fresh cut fries“

“This is my favorite breakfast/brunch spot I’ve had in years. My go-to is the egg burrito with rice and beans, plus a fish ceviche. Their fish and shrimp ceviches are sooo good. I love the balance of all the flavors. Hands down one of my favorite places. 🥰“

“Me gusta el sabor de las hamburguesas y las papas con queso“

“Plenty of good IPAs, draft, and domestic beers. The Backyard Burger was wonderful, definitely coming back just for that. Having Delirium Tremens in their beer stock was amazing, hadn't seen many bars with this many good options in a while. A good place for a quiet and private date, but with good walking distance to Echo Park and local bars and venues.“

“Breakfast tacos are a great option. Despite their seemingly small size, they are packed with flavor. Make sure to ask for hot sauce if you like an extra spicy kick. Tacos have a nice heat by themselves and are really flavorful. Highly recommended for breakfast. Sold in 2 or 4 option.“

“I just read this article in Los Angeles Magazine July 2022 about Lucky Boy !! very cool great place!! A Pasadena Landmark“

“Delicious food! Had the hamburgers, fries, tacos, Mexican hot dogs, BLTs. Gotta try the other items too.“

“Tiny place. They really pack in the tables inside, & everybody's fighting to get one to enjoy the AC instead of baking in the sun. Just enough tables to sit a couple people inside. 4 orders ahead of me once they opened, so everybody was waiting to get here. Took about 9 minutes to get my order in. Took roughly 15 minutes from the first person who ordered to get their's after I had ordered. Another 2 minutes for the people before me to get theirs. Another minute for mine. It was starting to crowd up so I went upstairs to eat at the metal tables they have hanging from the rails.“

“The food was delicious. n good portion. thank God you Except EBT Cause I don't have a kitchen .“

“Delicious. The only place I've ever seen a pastrami breakfast burrito on the menu! Portions were huge, the staff were friendly, and although we took our food to go, the booths and bathroom were as clean as a whistle. There's a drive through! But also there seemed to be plenty of free parking in the back and sides of the building.“

“Came here with my friend, who is an Altadena resident, and they told me this place is well-known among the locals. I couldn't believe how extensive the menu was. Besides burgers, they offer cheesesteaks, Chinese food, Mexican food, and even Thai curry! I was amazed.

The restaurant is Asian-owned, which gave me confidence in trying something from their Chinese food menu. However, I ended up sticking with a traditional burger combo, even though I was really tempted to try the Thai curry. I saw someone order it, but they only had the vegan version available because they had run out of chicken. I'll save the Thai curry for my next visit when the chicken version is available.

The burger was freshly made and came with avocado. It was high quality and very delicious. The fries were decent as well.

I also want to mention that the restroom was exceptionally clean. You can often tell a lot about a restaurant's hygiene standards by the condition of its restroom. Just note that the restroom entrance is located outside rather than inside the restaurant.

If you're in the Altadena area, please consider supporting this local business. You won't be disappointed by the food.“

“Very good delicious food very fresh for being two in the morning“

“I ordered the Teriyaki Beef Hamburger. Which is the wrong thing to order when trying to eat on the road. This is a “eat at a table” burger. When I stopped to eat it, it was delicious and filling. You get plenty for what you paid. The gentleman taking orders was friendly and helpful; as I was a first time customer. This is a place to make as a regular for any local.“

“Amazing!! We stopped for lunch. The burger was so fresh and tasty. The homemade pickles and dips are tasty and really complement the food. We’ll be back!“

“Great burgers and shakes“

“We didn’t eat in, and the restaurant is clean & nice. I love small profile places like this. I feel like I’m supporting local vs. the chain next door. The food was UHMAZING. Timing from order to grab and go, really good. The staff was really nice. First time here, we’ll be back“
