    Hamburger and chili fries

    First time, for a "Drive up" on the border of El Monte in Baldwin Park, great customer service. Very welcoming, also, impressed with the other menu items, Pastrami, Fish plate., etc, just don't forget cash only. Prices are very reasonable. It's like Home made, fries are fresh stay longer, unlike the commercial burger joints, that dries up when you drive off.

    Price for burger combo & single

    Fries are majorly under-seasoned. Also taste like it's been sitting for a while and then refried. Very crispy but not creamy at all, if you're into that texture. Burger is pretty solid. They don't skimp on sauce but not overly saucy either. Pretty average neighborhood burger place. A few fyis: This place is cash only. Outside seating area. No restroom even for customers. No refills on drinks.

    This place is a landmark in El Monte. I remember when I was in middle school walking to Bill's after school with my friends to grab some burgers. Today when I got off work I was pretty hungry, but I was craving a burger so I decided to stop by and grab something to eat to take home. It had been a while since I ate at Bill's so I decided to stop and grab me something. The burgers here are really good there's no doubt about that. I do feel like they are a little pricey though. They also serve breakfast I notice lots of people go there for their breakfast. I have never tried it, but it must be good. I ordered a double cheeseburger meal with extra cheese, and a side of onion rings and that came out to $20. They also charge you $.50 per ranch if you ask for one. I asked for two and the lady charged me $1.20 I'm guessing the $.20 was for tax. Everything tasted delicious. The fries we're perfectly done. They had a nice crunch on them and the onion rings had a great batter on them. They were well seasoned. They also accept phone orders in case you're in a hurry. they also have indoor and outdoor seating. But most importantly, don't forget that they only accept cash, no credit cards.

    This spot is a staple in Monte. Every city has their burger joint and I feel like this is the place here. It's been here for as long as I can remember and the chefs been at it for the time running. It's cash only but they have an atm outside. You can sit inside or outside. It's a little pricey but what isn't these days. The ONLY thing that gets me is it says it opens at 7am but that NEVER happens. The service is great once they're open though.

    Today was my first time here and it was all around a really positive experience. They took our order quickly & correctly. The food was delicious - perfect pastrami. Great fries. Good soda even. The outdoor seating is very small. But it is completely shaded, plenty of parking. And the place was clean! - the worker came by to clean the table just as we sat down. I'd come back!

    Burgers are really good. I loved their breakfast too, chilaquiles on point with the heat (spicy level).

Inside the place is more vibrant and clean. Photos of menu items are astound the window. My parents wanted to come try it after so many years and we went as a family of 6 which they have traveled mainly for 4 adults. We ordered a variety of food items such as zucchini fries, chili cheese fries, pastrami sandwich with onion rings, fish and chips dinner, and ice cream. The staff were friendly and always available, since we can go to the ordering station to ask questions, we asked for picked jalapeños and carrots to go with our food. They gave us a bunch of them in bags. Everything was good, I would say that my favorite is still their zucchini fries and ranch, I love their ranch and glad they gave us a couple containers because I needed more. Definitely a great bite to grab, I think I prefer snacks from here like their huge portion of fries but their burgers are really good as well.

    I used to live a few minutes away from Jim's, but only came here once many years ago, before my…read morerecent visit. My family was craving a breakfast burrito so I brought them here, because they serve breakfast items all day. I noticed they had a grill with open flames and thought their burgers must have that nice smoky charred taste, so I got a pastrami cheeseburger. The breakfast burritos were both good and filling, but there was nothing about it that stood out over some of the other burger spots around Monrovia. The pastrami cheeseburger unfortunately had no charred flavor at all. It didn't even have any grill marks, so I'm not sure what the open flame was reserved for. What tasted like thousand island dressing overpowered the beef and pastrami, so I mostly tasted the sweet sauce. Well, we got what we were craving, but I was left disappointed. That's just me expecting too much from a $11. burger, from a place that has the same name as me, and the word 'Burger' in its name.
