Menu from 2/24/24

Came here for the first time yesterday since it was close to work! I enjoyed my club sandwhich and I ordered my fried extra well done. I was surprised they executed everything so nicely since normally people have ignored my request. My husband really enjoyed his pastrami sandwhich with extra pickles and asked if this place was close to my job...... I know I'm going to be going back sooner than expected! Next time however, I will put a phone order before pick up

Once again, spot great burgers, grab burritos, but he's Asada tacos have them your way

It says Drive-In, but it's impossible to drive in at this location. When you go into the drive-in way, the window is not open and no one is available to take your order. When you pull up to the Drive-In menu and speaker, there is no one asking you what your order might be. When you pull around the drive-in speaker, you realize there is no Drive in, as there's no way to get out. Why is it called a drive-in restaurant? I had a minute, so I walked up to the window. Be careful not to park near the wall, as it smells like pee. I almost got right back in my car and went somewhere else. However, I was hankering for a full breakfast under $5--you know, like the corner joints make. So upon approach, I found an elderly man with a clean kitchen awaiting my order. He took my order and I thought I would see him cook on the front grill. He went to the back grill, behind the wall I could not see. He reappeared what's the veggie omelette in a bowl ready to pour on grill. The omelette have so many vegetables in it oh, I could not taste the egg. While I waited for my omelette, another young man order fries to go and received them. Another gentleman ordered a burger and fries , and his was readying, as mine was. The place was impeccably clean. The front kitchen was clean, the hallway kitchen was clean, the outside patio was clean...

Pastrami sandwich

Pastarami sandwich is definitely the best in the Long Beach/Compton area. So darn good. I'm going back for the second time today. Highly recommend this small family business makes me want to support as much as I can. The customer service was 5 stars. Friendly and warm.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich, delicious.

See all

Boulevard Gastropub - The outlaw burger with fries

Boulevard Gastropub

At first glance, it looked like parking was limited to the street, but after calling, I found out…read morethere is a parking lot on the corner, which made things much easier. The restaurant itself is small but mighty, with a cozy feel and a menu that delivers. Everything is made to order, and they offer a rotating selection of local craft beers, which is a nice touch if you like trying something new. We ordered the spicy Korean wings, and thankfully they were not overly spicy, making them easy to enjoy. The real standout, though, was the Blvd burger. It was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their burgers. Overall, the prices were better than most places, especially considering the quality. Definitely worth a visit.

It's a local gem with a lot of friendly locals in the community! We came on a Thursday and there…read morewere plenty of open tables! PARKING There's a parking lot on the east side, about 1-2 addresses down. I could see how it could fill up, but there was plenty of parking on a Thursday night! SERVICE Tbh service was a bit slow with limited workers, but it didn't bother us. The worker did come up multiple times to place orders, clear out dishes, and bring out boxes. DRINKS Pleasantly surprised by number of local draft beer options, soju cocktails, and a few wines. The soju cocktails taste good and surprisingly creeps up to you.. it doesn't taste that strong! FOOD Fantastic!! Surprised at such great quality for a gastropub. The Guacho Grinder is a steak sandwich w/ Chimichurri on a soft french roll - beware the sandwich does fall apart when eating but it's so worth it! Very clean and friendly community! Highly recommend!

Argentina champs!!!...well...we decided to hop on over to Hawkins's House of Burger to celebrate the occasion... Decked out in all Blue Adidas track suits and my friend in his Liverpool Jersey (McCallister's current Club Team) in all red... we were about to embark on what was probably the dumbest decision of our lives... considering the projects are right across the street from what are most assuredly the most coveted burgers in Watts... Los Angeles...we already had people sucking their teeth at the sight of these two fools...hanging out together... Now I assure you our purpose was purely football.. or futbol! ...we were being warned about our dress choices but indirectly ... it's that talk while you walk... indirect jabber... that you barely hear with one ear... it was that kinda warning.... Well we didn't take it litely... the last thing we wanna do is get regulated for wearing the wrong colors in these part of the woods...we came respectfully and with just one thing on our minds ... getting our hands on one of these Hawkins House of Burger's BURGER... Let me just say... none of these things were running through our mind at the time of our order...maybe just a bit but only because of the warning...we were eating next to some heavies... but they knew we weren't about it.. we just wanted some food... "Two double burger combos one without cheese and veggies and just pickles the other with everything in it...with a Sprite and a Fruit Punch" "That's it... " And then our lives changed... when we bit into that burger meat...and I mean for the better! All our fear and doubt dissolved in seconds... life is good... these burgers are heaven... and the thick steak style fries don't disappoint... I'm already making too much noise at the bottom of my fruit drink... SLURP ...so now we out ! Gotta head over to those WATTS Towers for a selfie... But not before catching the bio on the wait line of Mrs Hawkins life story ... the cherry on the cake was reading about HAWKINS BURGERS selling their burgers all the way in Qatar! To serve none other than their KING!!! Wait what?! That's where the most coveted prize in the World just came from... in 2022... when Argentina eliminated France in the final...and then the Cup was blessed by Messi with his kiss... Diego Maradona before him... and Pele before THEM!... It's a small world... enjoy this most coveted Burger...in Watts LA... you'll be glad you did... ... now allow me to leave you...!! With a kiss !!!

The atmosphere was perfect--good music, entertainment on the TV, and the A/C was at a comfortable temperature (not too cold, which we appreciated). The vanilla smoothie this time and it was delicious. ​I didn't catch her name, but I want to give a huge thank you to the girl at the front register; she was very kind and welcoming. We left around 4:40 PM, and another team member even held the door open for us on our way out. It's those small gestures that make a big difference. Overall, a wonderful experience--today was a standout!

Tasty and good as always, but the Chicken club sandwich was a disappointment. 2 pieces of chicken barely fit the bun with bacon. My wife doesn't squavel like I do. My first job was in food. But she said it was still good. If it's going to be the strips used for the Chicken club make them a bit larger at least sticking out the sandwich. Otherwise.... Place is clean and busy as always and counter staff as friendly and helpful as always Thank you for dinner
