    Breakfast burrito 6/10
    Nicole P.

    You can stop here to purchase your adventure parking pass and/or grab a bite to eat! We found Adam's Pack Station after we finished our hike. The breakfast burrito was okay, but their burger was veryyyy good. As we sat and ate, the front started to pile up with cars parking as people were arriving to pick up the adventure pass or begin their hike for the morning, so I'd say we came at a good time. The pack station is a little cafe with plenty of seating, and donkeys right beside you so you can say hello (and definitely smell them lol).

    We were so excited to find this hidden gem by accident when looking for parking. Vibrate and charming cafe up in the mountains. With a number of tables. Small menu. They do serve cold beers. Staff were great. Friendly and attentive. I truly enjoyed the view of the donkeys. It was nice hearing about them especially Willow. We ordered the breakfast burrito and it did not disappoint. I loved how crispy the bacon and potatoes were. The egg was fluffy. Well seasoned. You even get sausage which was delicious. We gave this burrito a 10/10. Highly recommend. We look forward to our next visit and trying their steak sandwich.

    Whether stopping in to purchase your park pass or coming to hang with friends. Adams' Pack Station is a great place to stop for eats/drinks before or after your hike. There is such a family feel with all the welcome vibes around. Everyone greets you with a smile. A bonus that they have good food and beer. Their breakfast panini was delish. Flavorful and cheesy over fluffy eggs and breakfast meats. Yum! We had a fun breakfast with friends after a hike to the falls. *they now have the capability to accept tap as payment. was also told they will soon have a full coffee bar to offer those "fancy coffees" haha. looking forward to that before a brisk morning hike.

    Cool coffee station

    The turkey wrap was so good, they also have muffins, beer, coffee, hot tea, sodas, water and chips. The service was wonderful the lady was very helpful and sweet all the time. She even recommended us other trails to explore and told us to go visit the donkeys. The ambiance is adorable with mountains view. Just be ready for the bees lol. The place looks so rustic with lights .. Has a parking outside. After a good hike you can eat there and also buy hiking adventures day pass or yearly. Recommended it

    This place is the perfect getaway cove in the mountains. Went on a whim and it was whimsical. Had delicious burgers and will be back for the hikes! And burgers again. Staff is so friendly and you just can't beat the ambiance. Cutest donkeys ever.

    Stopped here mid-ride to refuel with some refreshments. I wasn't hungry enough for food, but those burgers smelled amazing! It's a great little spot to relax after a climb and take in the mountain views. Super friendly staff and perfect for cyclists looking for a scenic pit stop. Whether you're grabbing a quick drink or a full meal, it's worth stopping by.

    Just reopened after four years, food on the weekends, cold beer all the time! We had some tasty tacos from local popup, and washed them down with cold beers and sodas. The stables have donkeys, and the hosts will let you visit them when possible. Super friendly hosts, stop in before and after your hike! Some of the best hiking this close to LA.

    Great place to relax after a hike they have a variety of beer and refreshments as well as treats and food. So happy they finally reopened.

    After a rugged 8 mile hike, an ice cold beer sure hit the spot! The virus has trimmed back food services, but it was nice to sit down and enjoy a friendly cold one.

    Blown away by the new ownership! I have been hiking Chantry Flats regularly for more than 5 years and absolutely LOVE the Sturtevant Falls hike (see photos). Adams' Pack Station has always stood out as a convenient place to grab a bite to eat, enjoy a cold drink after hiking, or find last minute parking on the weekends. However, the new owner has taken the customer service to new levels. I was greeted warmly upon arrival, offered information about the many hikes in the area, got a great cup of coffee for only $2, and even got my Camelback filled with cold clean water since the Forest Service fountain was out of order. So happy I stopped here and can't wait to return this summer for concerts and beer in the mountains.

    Haulin' Ass Since 1936! This pack station is the last of its kind in southern California. Since 1936, they have faithfully delivered goods to cabins via donkeys and served the hikers and campers of Chantry Flats. They provide gear, food, and other general store stuff. But more than that, the friendly folks at the station can provide valuable advice on trails and terrain conditions. Tips: Don't have a parking permit aka "Adventure Pass?" Pick one up at the store. Check their website for events.

    Sweet spot at the top of the trailhead. Park your car for $10 in a private lot and have a righteous spicy sausage dog, fries and a beer after the hike. The people running the place were super nice and I'll be going there next spring when the wildflowers are in bloom. Cheers to the people at Pack Station. ps. Take the upper trail above the falls for an exciting walk along a steep cliff.

She ran the Pack station at mostly a loss and is just now turning a profit selling hot dogs, hamburgers, panini's and chili at the pack station. Her prices are reasonable, $7 will get you a burger and fries. The hot food is appreciated as you emerge from the forest. There are goats donkeys and horses onsite. The whole place is quite inviting and charming. Ms. Burgess next project is to raise money and help save the historic cabins at Sturtevant Camp. She sorely needs donations for her cause. If you would like to help visit adampackstation.com and donate.

Almost made it a Hawaiian day, but next time. So yeah, it's in a large strip mall with lots of parking. Inside is very spacious and lively, as advertised. Lots of mounted flat screens and plenty of neon signage to remind you that they also serve cold brews here. Definitely a happening spot for Dodgers games for sure. Menu is extensive with lots of options for burgers and sides. Took the recommendation from my awesome server and ordered the following: - Stinkin' Bun Burger - 9/10: yo, this was incredible. Brioche bun was perfectly crisped, patty was thick and full of flavor. Loved the garlic cheese spread. Just brought it to another level. Well-balanced and not too garlicky. Just delicious. Pro tip: Mon-Fri are their lunch specials. So you can get a side and a drink with your burger of choice at a reduced price. Otherwise, everything is a la carte. So yes, a good time was had by all!

The service is always great, today I was assisted by Virgie who was very pleasant. The place was also clean which is always a plus. I ordered El Diablo burger with a side of chips rather than fries. The meat they use for the burger is high quality and you can taste it in every bite. The meat was cooked to perfection and it sort of just melted in my mouth. The habanero aioli added great flavor to the burger and a very light vinegary taste that cuts through at the end. The jalapeños tasted fresh and were not spicy imo (I have a high tolerance). The buns had a light crisp and were fluffy on the inside which complimented the rest of the burger so well. The chips are very thin, crispy, and lightly salted. Overall, you can taste the high quality ingredients in every bite and I will be be back again. Its worth every dollar. The best part is I do not feel bloated after eating here.

The owners are super nice and welcoming, which always leaves a good impression. On my second visit (just a regular day), the experience was a little different. The staff didn't seem very attentive to me or my guest. Nothing rude.. just not very engaged. That said, the restaurant does some really cool things. One feature I liked a lot was the spin board that displays your name when your order is ready.. small touch, but creative and fun. Because of the quality of the food and the overall vibe, I'm leaving four stars instead of something lower. The service didn't quite take it over the top, but there also wasn't anything bad enough to knock it down further. With more consistent attentiveness from staff, this spot could easily be a standout.

Specifically, I had the Wild Burger, which the menu describes as being, "6 oz of a juicy, house-ground Angus beef patty, nestled in a soft potato brioche bun. Topped with rich American cheddar cheese, crisp iceberg lettuce, and a savory bacon bourbon onion jam, all drizzled with smoky BBQ sauce." It was very flavorful, meaty, and, as I said, juicy. So much so that I wish I had a baby wipe with me. I also got the fries, which were skinny fries, and crispy, though they were still potato-y. The only bummer is that because they put the burger on the same plate as the fries, some of the fries got soggy from all the burger juice. Though it wasn't a huge bummer because they give you a good pile of fries, so losing a few isn't the worst thing. As for the place itself, it's clean, isn't cramped, and has a good number of tables. The staff were also friendly and very helpful. Also, because it's right in the middle of Melrose, it wasn't hard to find a parking spot on a side street, though it helped that I went on a Wednesday, when parking isn't restricted.

Their menu primarily focuses on Wagyu burgers, but we had eaten a large breakfast, so we just wanted to try something smaller. I enjoyed pairing the chili on my chips with the red wines we were tasting. We enjoyed everything we tried, and I would love to check them out again to try a burger.

According to their website, they also make appearances at Breweries and Food events, so you may see them out and about. It popped up on my radar through yelp and I wanted to check it out as a local. I had their "black market burger", which was a double smash burger on a grill top with grilled onions and on a potato bun. They mentioned that their fries are cooked in duck fat, which typically gives a savory flavor to fries that you don't get in seed oils. They also mentioned their "new school american cheese" is new school because it's real cheese, but it tastes and melts like the American cheese. They were friendly and they brought it to my car as soon as my order was ready. I think that this burger would be nice with a beer at a brewery and, if you check out their website, then you could see when/where that happens. As it stands, I enjoyed their namesake burger and fries; however, I'd probably want to go with one of their more dressed up burgers or chili fries and I'd BYOB if I were to come back to see them at LB Towne Center, which has no less than a half dozen options for burgers. I definitely respect the grind. If you do come to check it out, check their hours before you head over to the gas station or check their website to go to their appearances at local breweries (which is probably how I'd rather have it). I hope they consider going to busier food events where their offerings can be paired with other food experiences. Soft drink options would also be nice. Again - I respect the grind and think that if you want to try a double smash burger on a potato bun, then you should consider giving it a shot.

They were at Long Beach FC's game at Cabrillo Jaguars Stadium & were so thoughtful to have planned to stay open well after the game ended so that the players & staff would be able to enjoy a burger too. The owner was likable and very patient. He reassured me that I wasn't in a rush to order. (My boyfriend is one of the founders of the team so when I sent him a photo of the menu, I realized he won't reply til he has time & the game had just ended and he has to help take down everything.) We ordered the black market burger, the shady Swiss, and the bootlegger fries. Everything was phenomenal! I actually ordered my Swiss burger mainly for my boyfriend to try, because he likes mushrooms and I do not, but to my surprise I scarfed down the burger within minutes! That potato bun, the garlic aioli, the patty itself-oh my goodness-heaven. The burger was packed plenty with mushrooms & I enjoyed it all. I ordered the fries because I saw that they were thick cut and after hearing they were cooked in duck fat made me intrigued to see what the difference in taste would be & I was beyond impressed. They were just cooked to perfection with the perfect ratio from crispy crunchy goodness to the soft potato filling. My initial plan on the fries was to share half with my boyfriend (he only ordered the burger anyway), but my lack of discipline left him with just 1/4 of the fries He finally was able to eat 30 minutes after I received the food and his immediate reaction to biting into the burger was that it was really good! When he tried the fries he was impressed that they were still crispy and enjoyed the fries as much as I did. I wish they were coming back to next week's game, but I will definitely be there for every game they're popping up at (and to support my bf's team ofc ) .

Staff is very charismatic, friendly, and hardworking. Staff maintained a consistent smile throughout my visit. The location is popular (filled with happy locals), and the line moves very quickly.

On ambiance, GR8 Burgers (San Dimas) is barebones. It's a popup stand by a small store. Fortunately, they have shaded seating; there's about four tiny tables. The location doesn't have a hand sanitizer bottle or proper restroom, but I appreciated how Staff was able to ask the store member for a key to a sink. The location also plays upbeat music, and it's fairly clean despite only having one hidden trashcan. Regardless, I felt comfortable. Overall, I found unexpected magic at GR8 Burgers (San Dimas). There's no gimmick here... it's just hard work, quality ingredients, and genuine skill. If you love burgers, this is a MUST TRY! GO!! 5 out of 5! GO. Just go!
