50 Best Burger Restaurants near Sierra Madre

“I have enjoyed Emmi's twice now for breakfast and lunch. Miy breakfast experience was excellent and I wanted to try lunch. My favorite burger is from In-N-Out. If you do like them you really must try Emmi's Smash Burger. Two thin patties, so the edges are crispy, and their special sauce on an excellent bun. Try not to go when it is busy as it slows done their service. Their staff is great, friendly, and attentive. While I miss the den ambiance of Bean Town, this is a bright, no-nonsense open dining space. I will be going back.“

“Kevin I was so hungry when I got into a restaurant I didn't even take pictures of the food to post on the review. Darn it but I truly enjoyed our experience. I will most definitely come back I had the chicken sandwich with fries and barbecue sauce it's quite delicious. Also like the words that you have on the wall one of them says hard house is not yesterday's burgers and Fries joints that's because it's instead of meat base it's plant-based rather than being about everyone it's anyone's for everyone. Yeah I really enjoyed it I always judge a restaurant of how clean the bathroom is bathroom is spectacularly clean I think you need a little bit more workers up here because the line got real long and the two workers you got working couldn't keep upVegetarian options: Everything on the menu is vegetarian“

“Place never disappoints, always consistent. teriyaki chicken been coming to this place since I was a kid. My dad would get his truck worked on across the way. Super nice people really recommend this burger spot anyone that's looking for fast and delicious all at a reasonable price“

“Quick and fast taco stands. Now they support the credit card payment. Eric is welcoming and serves the neighborhood very well until the midnight. The protein of stewed pork and the al pastor is nice while I hope they could use corn tortillas instead of the flour ones.“

“Finally got to get off and eat at this location, and as any other location, busy! Not a big deal as it's expected. Anyway I tried the flying Dutchman, protein style and did not disappoint!! I usually get a double double protein-animal style, but this was just as good. They did get my shake incorrect,I wanted a half vanilla/chocolate, and just got vanilla, regardless great burger and staff is awesome!“

“WOW. The flavor is on point! If you're in the mood for something saucy and savory, Fuego is the way to go. A cheese and garlic empanada was the perfect introduction to my meal of Tiki fries. I ordered a side of rice and three empanadas to go because I knew I would be craving it all later! 11/10 recommend“

“Rylee G provided exceptional service with frequent check-ins to making sure everything was just right for our group of 30+ people. I do really appreciate her for the service she provided. Also she is super sweet and thank you so much for the great experience!“

“I enjoyed coming here to eat my favorite dish Bacon hamburger ? ?Service is amazing since I'm always ordering on the phone they have my order ready to pick upWhenever I eat there..the atmosphere is great that I continue to order things even when I'm full ?“

“I used to come here when they were a Mexican establishment but I'm glad they reopened as Kings. Everything is dank and the portions are generous. Extremely reasonable prices for the amount of food. I recommend the breakfast burritos, chilaquiles (pictured), and the smash burgers. I am bummed they did away with the sipper fries however. 5/5 atmosphere based completely off the mural of Homero (pictured).Parking: There's an auxiliary lot on the other side of Hen's Tooth Squate“

“A no-frills "fast food" spot. They have a very diverse menu consisting of American, Mexican, and Chinese food. I have yet to try any other item besides the burgers and fried zucchini, which I'm a fan of. The service is quick and your food is cooked to order. The burgers are a great size and delicious! Also, do yourself a favor and get the fried zucchini. The batter is nice and crispy, and the zucchini is sliced thick.“

“I came here today for the first time and the food was great, there was barely a line before the lunch rush, the amount of food you get is better than in n out in my opinion for the price you you pay, there is parking on the street and a very small parking lot on the side but looks like the parking lot is for residential parking. Either way I do recommend trying this place at least once .“

“Visited Cafe Jane on a Tuesday around noonish. There was ample seating available and the wait time for our food to come out was very minimal. The americano was deliciously bold and my mom was delighted by their mocha. We shared two entrees: the breakfast sandwich and the orange french toast. The breakfast sandwich had really fluffy soft scrambled eggs and the brioche was a nice bite. The French toast was OuT oF tHIs WoRLd! - loads of citrus and balanced with the subtle sweetness of fried bananas. Will be back to try their rice bowls. Overall score: ?/?.“

“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“

“Would 100% recommend if anyone is craving an Asada Burrito or Fish Taco. Make sure to ask for their salsa; it's not handed out by default. Fish taco comes with sour cream sauce and it's own pico. Definitely fan. I make it a point to grab lunch here on WFH daysParking: A few parking spaces behind and on the street.“

“We enjoyed our meal. The service was top-notch and very friendly. Adrien, the manager, was wonderful and assured my friend that she could eat without fear of her allergies to nuts and shellfish. We both got burgers and fries-- mine was the veggie burger. I would eat there again.Vegetarian options: The veggie burger was the best I've ever had. It was full of flavor!Dietary restrictions: My friend has allergies to nuts and shellfish and was able to eat here.“

“Unfortunately, they skimped on the amount of meat and the size of the sandwich. It used to be a place that served a bigger portion that went hand in hand with the price. Now it's quite the opposite. It seems that being an old go-to restaurant has now become another restaurant trying to compete with the Joneses. They need to bring down the price to match the portion size.“

“Stopped ln for what I though was going to be a small meal..boy was I wrongOrdered the $12 special.Came with a great hamburger.. seasoned fries..2 pieces of chicken..which was very good.. & even a cookie..wow!!What a meal..actually I couldn't eat it all..If your anywhere close to Irwindale Speedway..stop here 1st & chow down“

“I lost my favorite local burger joint years ago... I couldn't find anything after that was delicious. I love visiting Alhambra/ S. Pasadena area and have seen Pharos countless times. I finally tried it for the first time last month and I have already been there four times after. It's definitely delicious and a neat place to enjoy your meal solo or with people. The staff are very friendly and assist very professionally. Not too many of the original burger places out there anymore that are good but Pharaohs is DEFINITELY a place to enjoy a delicious old fashioned burger! I look forward to trying more things on the menu!Vegetarian options: Grilled cheese and salads.Parking: I haven't had difficulty finding parking so far.Kid-friendliness: Meals for kids as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat surface to the entrance so it's very accessible.“

“A tiny place tucked in the neighborhoods of Highland Park, Goldburger is a great place for a smash burger! The curly fries rounded out the meal. The shack is so small that you'd miss it if you were looking for it. Sitting outside in their side patio was a perfect way to spend your lunchtime.“

“Great spot for burgers, they have a good cold beer selection to go with the burgers. It’s nice to have a quality burger spot like this one in the neighborhood.Oh!!! FYI the onion rings are freaking great !, kudos to the chef on his batter recipe“

“First time here. Found this gem off Yelp and it did not disappoint! The owner knows how to serve delicious food! I was craving breakfast and my French toast combo was excellent! My son had the crispy chicken waffle sandwich and it looked great and he said it was really good. My daughter in love had the biscuits and gravy and I tried it as well -so flavorful!!! So do yourselves a favor and pay patronage to this local establishment! For those that remember the movie "Blood in, Blood out" he has a lot of movie memorabilia as decor so that was pretty cool as well!“

“Ordered my food on line. Food was ready at exactly the time I was told it would be. I ordered a custom burger and it was made exactly as I asked. Love the burgers at this place. Also like the fresh lettuce and tomatoes. Fries are also great with just the right amount of salt.“

“Don’t shoot the messenger, but there’s no need to wait in line at In-N-Out ever again. Come to the Smash House. Great burgers, actually, flawless burgers, and five dollar Draft Modelo’s.Parking: Pull in market alley and park behind the cleaners. They share spots with smash house.“

“My family loves to eat at this place, the food there loves, the lettuce and tomato taste very good, everything is very fresh. The tomatoes are very fresh, the meat is very well seasoned. The people are very friendly, they treat you like at home and I recommend it. The prices are very accessible for someone who doesn't have a lot of money, with 20 dollars two people can eat a hamburger for each one with their parents and their soda “

“You never go wrong eating at The Hat! Whether you're a burger or sandwich lover..you'll find something delicious to enjoy. If you love French fries..and who doesn't...The Hat has a variety of fries cooked to order... some to consider: pastrami fries, chili fries, chili-cheese fries, gravy-covered fries, and more.. plus any other toppings you can think of.. like onion, tomato, pickles... and it goes on and on. Enjoy!“

“Lucky Boy in Pasadena is my ultimate go-to for an unbeatable breakfast burrito experience. The portions are generous, and the flavors are unparalleled. I always opt for the bacon burrito with grilled onions, and it never disappoints. Even after 15 years of patronage, the quality remains consistently excellent. While it’s a bit on the pricier side for a burrito, the size makes it perfect for sharing or enjoying as two separate meals. Plus, their chili cheese fries are to die for! The drive from Santa Clarita is totally worth it for this culinary delight. With options like sausage, bacon, chorizo, or veggie, there’s something for everyone at Lucky Boy. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Lucky Boy is a must-visit spot for breakfast aficionados.“

“It was my Sunday Funday donut day and while I was in Monterey Park I stopped by to get a Ham, Cheese, and Jalapeño croissant and a glazed twist. What's up with all the whiners who say this place sucks, they are completely wrong I think they just need to go sit on the curb and cry.“

“Really amazing burger! I got the Hawaii Five-O burger without tomatoes and the grilled pineapple and onions were the perfect compliment to the bacon. And don't sleep on those seasoned fries. Perfection! These fries are the better, less greasy version of the fries we'd get from Rally Burger as a kid. I'm just glad this place is closer to my job than my house or I'd have some serious problems. ?“

“Double lanes, efficient drive-thru.Be advised that going in the left lane means you'll be paying and getting your food by the passenger side of your car.If you have a passenger, this is fine, but if you're a lone driver, be prepared to have to unbuckle and awkwardly try to reach over.Other than that, typical in n out place. Have never eaten inside, looks fairly small. I see people walking up to order all the time and they are always really fast.“

“Been here many times while living in E Pasadena. Moved away in 2018 and came back for the first time today. Quality of food always been consistent for me. Had the breakfast plate which is not hard to mess up. Potatoes perfectly seasoned. Only negative is the gal who rang me up at 7am…no greeting, no smile, sappy face, attitude. Never seen her before…ticket said “Manager,” on it. I hope not as she’s setting the standard there.“

“The food is delicious and their prices are more than reasonable. The presentation of the food shows the Chefs are highly trained. Before we left, one of the chefs brought out a pop tart for our 18 month old. This is one of my favorite places to grab a bite.“

“It's In-n-Out, you get the same experience no matter the location. Food is reliable and delicious. The drive thru can be reminiscent of trying to get into Disneyland parking though, which isn't a real bother because they have signs everywhere guiding you where to go next. Flying Dutchman (no salt unless you are part sea creature) grilled whole onion x2 with black coffee is a travelers delight. No chance of falling asleep with that combo. ;)Wheelchair accessibility: They always have wheel chair accessibility.“

“Arts will always come through clutch. They have the burger deals on I think Wednesday and Sunday? Pretty tasty burgers, chili fries. I've also gotten hot dogs on vacations. They have two drive thru windows so the service moves pretty fast. They can reach to your driver side if you take the left lane. I've never sat at the outside seating but they have some older tables and chairs available. Not bad at all.“

“Take a step back in time at this classic In n Out, this is currently the oldest operating restaurant still in service, opening in 1952, this shows you how they used to be, although no indoor dining and just two single restrooms outside, with twin drive thru and a walk up window and a few tables to eat outside, definitely a place to eat in Pasadena.“

“Food good as ever. Inside of restaurant is getting run down compared with previous visits 3+ years ago, not as clean. Hard time understanding when they called my number, so I assumed it was mine when nobody else went up. Personal annoyance: gave me 6 packages ketchup when I wanted none. Rest room clean.“

“This place has a really good pastrami sandwich. They have special sodas you don't see often, and the sandwiches are always fat. I ordered a small fry and a small onion ring, and they were huge. The fries weren't too brag worthy, but the onion rings were crisp and delicious.“

“Everything about In-N-Out is what you would expect, busy! Getting to and through the drive-thru is quite interesting and stressful or fun. Great location though!Vegetarian options: Cheese nó burger sandwich, French fries, milkshake, soda, waterWheelchair accessibility: There are tables with no chairs“

“Ok, I hadn't been here in years. To my surprise they are are still great. Burgers come with chopped lettuce, and you can ask for whole leaf. Get the fries with out salt and salt them yourself. They're pastrami is just as good as Lucky Boys or Tops.“

“El Caporal is a great spot for Mexican food lovers. They offer tasty dishes at affordable prices, with an authentic flavor. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, and they even have a parking lot at the back. Plus, they welcome pets in their outdoor seating area. The staff speaks both English and Spanish, making everyone feel at home. Definitely worth checking out!“

“Just as I remember it. Had the classic 3 tacos and order of fries like the good ol days. Even better than I remember. Great work keeping Ricks alive guys! Can't wait to come back and try all the new items! We need another one an hour east!“

“Looking for a hearty lunch place while on the go? I definitely recommend this place for a yummy meal! They have a great menu of breakfast items and lunch! The guys are friendly as you order! I didn't feel like cooking, but I wanted a burger (a girl's hungry after an early morning work shift you know?!), and I picked up items for my family members! I got my boyfriend a bacon avocado burger, I got some asada fries (large, yes!), our toddler the kid's meal, and my mom a chicken burrito. Everything is outdoors, including seating.“

“Yecxy was the BEST server she was so helpful and gave the best recommendations! the restaurant was amazing and i couldn't recommend more! the pineapple ale was amazing and they offer testers before you have a drink to make sure you like it! Go to this restaurant! Great vibe, amazing food, great music!“

“This place is soo tasty! It has the best burgers in town and the staff is so sweet and friendly. An added bonus is how clean the establishment is. Not to mention how close it is to downtown Monrovia. My husband and I have been back twice in a row since we've first tried the place :)“

“This place is fantastic ? ? the price for the food is very fair for what great food and big portions you are getting and the customer service is so nice felt very comfortable in there when I ordered and I did not have to wait long the workers there are so friendly I will be coming back again and again ohh and they have the best steak sandwich I ever had“

“I have been going here since they opened. They have delicious Burgers, Fries and milkshakes!!! They also have Beer and wine. I would recommend this place if you enjoy burgers. They also have grilled cheese sandwich! Check them out! Take your date or family out to eat some delicious food! Milkshakes are yummy. Their fries are yummy too! Their customer service is good.Vegetarian options: They have delicious salads.Parking: There is plenty of parking!Kid-friendliness: Yes they are kid friendly!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, there is room for wheel chairs.“

“The vegan Oklahoma smash burger was so delicious, I considered getting a hotel near buy, just so I could have it again the next day! The Lord of the fries were great, and just a little bit spicy. I also had the tahini milk shake (vanilla). It had no business being as tasty as it was. I was skeptical, but it was creamy and smooth. It didn't taste exactly like an ice cream shake, but was close and had it's own delicious flavor. I'll try it with Oreo next time.Vegetarian options: Many (if not most) menu items can be made vegan. Like yummy vegan, not, replace the burger patty with a broccoli medley vegan.“

“I ordered two Dole whip drinks, 1 with pineapple juice and 1 without. I went there after work, so the restaurant was basically empty. There are outdoor patio seatings. I'd go again to try their burgers next time. I parked in front of Burgerim.“

“Don't get the beef patty, it is not what you would expect. Very thin and dry. Honestly it's not what it used to be but it's understandable... All in all - it was alrightVegetarian options: No vegetarian optionsParking: There's is plenty of parking and if anything the business behind it, it's empty and it's another option to park“

“My family and I have been coming here for years. From generation to generation. Although the fires have changed since another family member took over the restaurant. The burgers remained, but bring back the classic fries! Burgers and steak sandwiches are tasty. Breakfast is the best! And the prices are reasonable. Enjoy!“
