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.“

“my best... PATTY MELT WITH FRIES OR THE RIB EYE STEAK MEAL!! GREAT SERVICE! and the boys like it too !“

“When I want to go to McDonalds, this is my favorite one. I have a nearby place to go which is located in the USC campus in Los Angeles. But I like this place because it is a quiet place, nice atmosphere and a great customer service. Clean and safe area.“

“Came here cause it was close to the Greek Theatre and they had a special to who I went to go see (Djo) and it was sooo good. Theres a public parking right around the corner, the food was ready pretty quick, fresh seats outside, and delicious burger and curly fries. I’m coming here again if I’m ever in the area.“

“Alimentos sabrosos y atención rápida“

“Excellent burgers!!!!!!!!“

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

“Known for their grassfed beef burger. They offer $14 vegan option but no vegan cheese. The mayo has no dairy but does have eggs. Everyone enjoyed their $12 grassfed beef and $14-$15 Ruben or patty melt sandwich options. $5 Curry fries was nice. They do have 1 restroom, no mirror. They offer a water station on the side with disposable paper cups.

Patio bar top seating are good for individual to couples eating there. A party of 4 like us could be a bit disruptive when sitting on both sides.“

“I la la la loooove Tommy's!“

“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“

“I stopped by Amboy Burgers after coming to Union Station on the Greyhound from San Diego. The place had a small line outside but it moved quickly. Since it was my first time, I ordered the classic Amboy burger with yellow peppers, and went to sit at a table outside.

I was en route to LAX and realized my phone battery was quite low. I asked the clerk if I could charge my phone for a bit and he graciously plugged me in behind the counter. The burger itself was really good. It tasted like what I’d call a crossover of In-N-Out and a hole-in-the-wall smashburger spot. The meat was super flavorful, though, and the bun was quite good too.

The only downside is that it was like ~$18 after tax for a fairly small burger. But, I realize this is Los Angeles in 2026, so I let it slide and not interfere with my interpretation of the burger. Plus, the willingness to let me charge was really nice.“

“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“

“The Guy and the 2 ladies are very hardworking and very professional and they accept EBT. They make delicious grass fed hamburgers and scrumptious fries than the competitors. I truly recommend BunGraze Flatbread Bugers and Fries. I am not a social media influencer. I don’t care for them. I am a sigma. I do believe in the honesty and flavor of my own tongue.“

“I waited a year to come here from the east coast, and it was worth the wait. From the food to the atmosphere, I felt like I was in another dimension with the unique take on regional cooking styles to the sound quality of the music. You could taste the freshness in the ingredients — even the cheese in the dessert was clearly homemade and freshly made. This is such a unique and special place. Thank you for a wonderful experience. This was the best food I had in a long time.“

“very nice service 👍 always come back“

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.“

“The owner is amazing! Customer service a 10! Her personality was everything! The wings were so good we got the buffalo flavor. Can’t wait to come back and try the Backyard burger (onion rings, candied bacon, smoked Gouda, and bbq sauce). But we also had the frozen margarita I had mango best had strawberry! She gave us a free guava one. One word FADED.“

“Cargo Snack Shack is an absolute gem! The food is fantastic, but I was especially impressed by their thoughtful and delicious vegetarian-friendly options—it's so refreshing to find a spot that offers such flavorful plant-based choices. The amazing outdoor ambiance makes it the perfect place to kick back, relax, and enjoy the weather. On top of the great setting, the staff was incredibly attentive and welcoming throughout our visit. Pair all of this with their excellent selection of alcoholic drinks, and you have the recipe for a perfect outing. Highly recommend!“

“I just recently moved to the neighborhood
I stopped by today and ordered turkey tacos (3 for $11) they were delicious they also have vegan options, burgers and wings and they serve breakfast until @11 the owner was very nice.hes been open for 5 years 😋😋😋“

“I finally decided to check this place out. They were already closed, but it’s really nice lady was outside. She said they’re doing work on the restaurant so they’re having to close early certain days so I decided to come back today and try it out. I got here too late to have any breakfast but they still serve their breakfast burrito all day and there’s a there’s a variety of breakfast burrito. I’m not usually in the mood for breakfast burrito, but I’ll probably get around to trying at least one of them I got the steak sandwich and the meat is good quality and not tough as she described. I like the Fry’s being seasoned but I don’t like them is so crunchy so I’ll ask for them to cook them more soft than crunchy next time. It’s nice that I found another good place to eat where the people treat you good. I got the combo that included a drink and I was so delighted to see that they have the fuse raspberry iced tea that I love and with the combo you get a choice of either a salad or fries check the salad out next time the steak sandwich is delicious.

I love pancakes, and the ones that they serve here are probably the best ones that I’ve tried. I’m particular about where I eat and the service.
I appreciate it that Effie took half a second to greet me warmly and asked me how am I doing when I got in line while she was busy taking the orders from that line of people. I’ve been noticing that same friendliness in all of the other workers.“

“Best food best people love this place ❤️“

“Bobbys place is a wonderful place to be. The employees make the environment so friendly they treat each and every individual customer like family. So much so that customers are remembered by name. You can also tell that their food is made with so much love. They take pride in what they do and take pride in serving the community. Theres no other place to be when you look for quality, community, and family. So I recommend coming and sharing the love and becoming apart of the Bobbys place family.“

“My ole’ late night eatery place! 😋“

“Outstanding service, food, prices and onsite security“

“Visiting from out of state, my uncle took us for dinner here at original Tommy's. We all had a double chili cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. I thought the meal was very good, especially the chili cheese fries. Everything was very tasty, and if I was in the area I would come back again.“

“Troy's Burger is one of my go-to spots on York for breakfast. I always call in my order so it's ready when I get there. I order the egg sandwich with bacon and cheese — simple, classic, and consistently delicious. I have had the other breakfast options when I dine in, they do breakfast really well.
Their burgers are also solid — juicy, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a neighborhood burger spot. They are charbroiled and they have yellow chiles.
The staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes it an easy place to keep coming back to. Great local spot for both breakfast and burgers.“

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

“Great burgers and shakes“

“love my portobello burger and my fries!!!“

“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.“

“Me gusta el ambiente sobretodo la camida muy deliciosa“
