20 Best Burger Restaurants in San Bernardino

“It’s in-out what more is there to say!“

“This place is bomb. A coworker recommended it. I walked in and told the girl in line behind us to go ahead because we had never been there before. She said me either! And we all laughed about that. This place is cool tho. Laid back vibe, friendly employees. The burger…probably the best I have ever had, no joke. This is exactly how I like them. A real smash burger with crispy edges. Double was $8 and it comes with grilled onion, bacon, cheese, sauce and you can add a lot of other stuff. Fries were perfect, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and good seasoning. When we left we said thanks and the guy in the back said “hey see you guys tomorrow?” I was like…yeah lol…cause he might. If not tomorrow we will for sure be back very soon. Give this place a chance, you won’t be sorry.“

“This comes as a shocker, but In-N-Out is not my favorite fast food joint. I do like them as a company and the company culture so I go here to patronize the business. Overall, the food is consistent, and I love that people are supporting Local business.“

“food is great sevice is super good and fast, is a great place to take ur family“

“So I live out in Anaheim Ca. But ran in to this spot when I come out here San Bernardino. Been dropping by each time I'm out in the área. Their food never disappoint. Love to stop and getting their delicious burgers and fries they don't disappoint. All food prices are reasonable. Truly recommend if you're also in that área.“

“Saturday drive thru morning is the best“

“Perla provided good service during my visit!
She was friendly, fast, and made sure everything was perfect with my order. The food was fresh and delicious, and the whole place was clean and welcoming. Perla made the experience even better with her positive attitude and attention to detail. I’ll definitely be coming back—thank you, Perla!“

“Saturday drive thru morning is the best“

“Love to bring the family here for breakfast. Have been coming here for years especially on Saturday mornings. Food is delicious. Lunch and dinner are good too. Burgers are fire. My only complaint is the drive-through always has been, the cashiers or the workers are not too nice and sometimes just plain rude or have some kind of attitude. I don’t understand why maybe it’s just dealing with people.“

“Tried the charbroiled burgers and they did not disappoint—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The fried zucchini circles were crispy and perfect with ranch on the side. Great food quality all around. Service was friendly and fast, and the relaxed, classic diner ambiance made the whole experience even better.“

“Very good. Like to old days with Tommy's #5 in Santa Monica. Very delicious and nice service.“

“Awesome food🔥🔥🔥 courteous and fast service…. Worth every dollar“

“My first time visiting. I was amazed at how fresh the ingredients in the food were. I had the chicken soup which was the BEST I have ever eaten. An entire boneless chicken breast in the broth with potatoes, corn on the cob, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Served with a side of Spanish rice that I added to the soup. Delightful.

I also had the shrimp ceviche tostada that was incredibly fresh and delicious. And the corn tortilla that it was served on never got soggy!

Home and mother’s cooking at its best. For a small hole-in-the-wall place, the food is better than most high-end restaurants!

The menu shows both the cash and card prices, so bring cash and get a discount.“

“The Huevos Rancheros are definitely 🔥. A friend insisted he buy me breakfast here. I had my doubt about the quality. How 🤔 good can Huevos rancheros from a burger joints really be? IN MY. OPINION. WAAY better than 90% of restaurants in that area.
They have chilie Verde ontop of 2 eggs beans and rice with a couple of tortillas of your choice. Great flavor cooked well and the service was fantastic 👌“

“I am surprised to see the low ratings for most of the Carl's - and am scared that people compare apples with oranges. This is Carl's a burger joint. It's sure not stylish - and it sells food for a small budget. We greeted friendly, as my wife and I wanted just to share a quick bite and a drink, lovely Lisbeth P (I do not know, just see her name on the check) informed us of their policy buy two big sandwiches for $5. Thank you for that. the place was fine - and the only reason I really get into all this so deeply is that I wonder: what did those people expect? If I was on the route again, I would go again. Would I make a 30+ min detour just to dine here (mandatory in my rating scheme to achieve 5 stars): hell no. It's a burger place - one that was on the way when we wanted one - and it did it's job. Friendly and tasty. Well done.“

“nice place to have a burger, been there several times.“

“got a recommendation from a friend who recently tried this place out for the first time and i'll say... i def agree with him. the one that i ordered was large enough for two people. i forget the name of it but it had grilled cheese as the buns...check it out“

“Service was quick. You have an extensive menu to satisfy your appetite. As soon as you bite down on your burger, you get the smell and taste of delicious thousand island! The hamburgers are well done and tasty. I got some chili cheese fries as well, which were not to my liking. The chili was sweet, the cheese ratio was good, and fries were good. Both crunchy and those soft wiggly ones which are good. The pastrami sandwich was packed and had good flavor. The pastrami itself wasn't chewy and recommend it.“

“my order was so good and perfect..“
