50 Best Burger Restaurants near South Pasadena

“Cheeseburgers and fries are fabulous. Caesar salad is REALLY great! Food is always hot. Only complaint, there are some druggies that stay in the parking lot and spend a lot of time in Habits dining room. I am frightened to use the bathroom for fear of what could be lurking inside the stalls.“

“All Hail the King of unique Burgers!

The burgers at Bungraze are so manicured and thoughtful eating them is an experience! The quality and choice of ingredients and how all the flavors mesh together are unparalleled.

You would be doing yourself a disservice to not try the Fries as well as the accompanying sauces.

Truly when all put together it is a meal worthy of consideration for the title, King of burgers in LA“

“Simply amazing. I got a double steakburger with thick patties and it was super filling a unique delicious. Don't sleep on the hot dog though. It tastes amazing on the toast bun. They have a little wheel that you can spin to get free stuff and discounts, which is why I got the fries. I ended up eating more food than I bargained for, but I'm glad I got the full experience.

I love Howlin Ray's, but next time the line is long, I'm coming back here instead.“

“very nice service 👍 always come back“

“Excellent burgers!!!!!!!!“

“Good food. Awesome taste“

“I recently stopped by Tam’s Burgers and had a solid overall experience. The menu is packed with variety—from classic burgers and fries to breakfast items, Mexican dishes, and even slushies. It’s a place where you can definitely satisfy a craving no matter what you’re in the mood for.

One of the standout positives is that they now accept EBT, which makes their food more accessible to everyone. The prices are reasonable considering the portions, most meals range from about $10 to $15. They also have combo options that include drinks, and the drink station is fully stocked with Pepsi products, frozen slushies, and soft-serve machines.

The interior is simple but clean, with a modern black tile floor and red booth seating. There’s plenty of space to sit and eat comfortably. The “Order Here” signage is clear, and there’s a solid system in place for taking orders.

Staff were efficient, though not overly friendly, which is fine, this place seems more about speed and quantity than sit-down service. Still, the food came out hot and fresh.

If you’re looking for a no-frills spot with a big menu and fast service, Tam’s gets the job done. It’s not gourmet, but it’s reliable comfort food at a good price.“

“It’s In-N-Out! Food was good!“

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

“Kings Burgers is a true local gem! Their burgers are juicy, flavorful, and always cooked to perfection. The breakfast burritos are amazing. And the fries? Crispy, golden, and simply awesome. Friendly service and consistent quality make this spot one of my go-to favorites. Highly recommend!“

“Visit for lunch or Dinner. If you're lucky, you might have live music on a friday night. On to the food - Gourmet Carribean is a must try! the oxtails, jerk chicken, curry chicken, chick peas and the Friday special, Jerk Salmon. Everything I've tried is delicious. There's a small baker on the other side and I love their Ube cookies! I Highly recommend visiting Blossom Market. Located on the San Gabriel Mission Properties.“

“Love this place. Great people, excellent food, awesome prices and fast service. My only complaint is that I wish they were open longer. They close early usually around 3-4 in the afternoon. Still tho, best little burger joint in the area. I'd rather go here versus in n out. For real.“

“The breakfast burrito at Lucky Boy in Pasadena is absolutely legendary! The burrito is massive, its satisfying, and packed with flavor. It's a must-try for anyone craving a hearty start to the day.\n\nI do have to stay the burrito isn't the only star at Lucky Boy. The patty melt, the chili cheese fries and the fried zucchini sticks are a must have. \n\nThe biggest star at Lucky Boy is the staff. You can tell they have great leadership that is guiding them to provide excellent service every time.“

“I tried the Mushroom Burger at Pharos Burgers, and wow — it was absolutely fantastic. From the first bite, it’s clear that every component of this burger is carefully crafted. The patty is juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The mushrooms are sautéed to perfection — earthy, savory, and rich — and they pair beautifully with the melted cheese. The bun is soft yet sturdy, holding everything together without getting soggy, which is more important than people realize in a great burger.

What really sets this burger apart is the balance of flavors and textures. The mushrooms add depth without overpowering the beef, the cheese adds creaminess, and the seasoning is just right — you can taste all the ingredients without anything being too salty or too heavy. Every bite is satisfying, indulgent, and keeps you wanting more.

The portion size is generous, and the burger is hearty enough to be a full meal, but it never feels overwhelming. Service at Pharos Burgers was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for grabbing a great burger without fuss.

Overall, the Mushroom Burger is easily one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time — flavorful, perfectly balanced, and just downright delicious. If you’re a burger lover, this one is not to be missed.“

“I was in LA for four nights, went to other notable restaurants, and this was by far the best dining experience I had. You feel like you are in a friend's home. All of the dishes were delicious, fresh, vibrant and beautiful. Every detail is intentional. The dishes and platers are stunning and thoughtfully chosen. Highly recommend. If you're in LA, don't miss Chef Okay Inak and Sora.“

“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 😞 😡😡“

“The place was solid. We had beef and turkey burger combos with regular and cajun fries. I added a 6 piece lemon pepper. It was a breaded wing, which typically I don't like, but this one was good. The owner (I think) and Mr. Robinson, were great to chat with while I wanted. Give these brothers a try.“

“I don't eat Tommy's often, but every now n then I'll get a craving for it. This particular morning I visited the Eagle Rock location and just ordered some chilli cheese fries at the drive-thru. The woman who took my order sounded and actually was very nice, sweet and thoughtful. As well as professional. The food was fresh and tasted great!“

“Fred’s Burgers will always hold a special place in my heart. Growing up in LA, my parents would take us here every Friday, and it quickly became a family tradition. Now, 15 years later, even though I’ve moved out of state, I always make sure to stop by whenever I’m back in town. The taste has never changed—it’s just as amazing and comforting as it was when I was a kid. Truly one of those timeless spots that feels like home with every bite.“

“Best food best people love this place ❤️“

“Chix wings so juicy just like when first opened. Server Jack makes the place a happening spot. Still in place after years!“

“One of the best smash burgers I’ve ever had. 10/10. My friend (pictured) and I only came here because my sister goes to USC and I can’t believe she’s lucky enough to be able to eat here all the time. We got both and they are both very very good but the Aji burger is magical.“
