I have been hearing about this place for literally years and after their recent misfortune with a burglary I really wanted to show support so I decided to give them a try. It was a pretty awkward energy when I walked in... it was just the owners there, the man cooking and woman at the computer. Neither of them even looked up or acknowledged me for minutes as I stood there kind of in shock cause they were about 2 ft away from me... finally the woman looked up and asked if I was there for pick up and I said no and she didnt even listen, asking what the name was lol I tried to just blow this off and placed my order, waiting about 10 mins cause they had a lot of mobile orders. Once I was home I was excited to eat, but was so disappointed with the quality. The meat was cheap, bun burnt, dry and super salty with not much to it. Im not trying to bash them when they're down, but I cant deny that this was a really underwhelming experience. I hope they can take notice of these little details and become the place that ive heard so much about once again.
Small spot in a strip mall parking lot with no-frills burgers, fish and chips, and a few other things. It's freshly made and just simply tasty. There's a little bit of seating indoors/out, but most people take food to go. The operators are nice people and I go whenever I'm close by for a consistent burger. It's good value.
Looks unassuming on the outside but once I finally decided to try Burger Basket, it became my go-to burger place in LA! I literally can't go anywhere else anymore! Their burgers are cooked fresh and have a super good, umami flavor with plenty of veggies. I love their fries too! There is an option to order ahead by phone to save time. The staff are always super nice and friendly. Free parking lot. Highly recommend you come check this old, family-run restaurant out!
Old school burger joint with great food. Prices were nice and the two owners were great. It's a small spot but easy to take your food on the go if there's no space. I got a double cheeseburger with fries and a corn dog. Everything was just right. Corn dog was crispy and fluffy at the same time and the burger was a classic. Good honest food for a decent price. Like I said there isn't much room to sit but they get your order up and out quick and they make it all in front of you. Parking is a little tight but there's plenty on the street around.
A family owned burger spot that's been around for almost 60 years and is a bit under the radar - with a simple menu and very reasonable prices. The fries were perfect and service was so friendly we felt like we knew everyone. They were so friendly in fact that my hubby asked me when we left "did you know them?" lol! We were craving burgers and both went with double cheeseburgers and some fries to share. They made our order fresh on the spot too which I really liked. And it's an open concept kitchen so you can watch them while they cook. The small fry portion is quite generous and more than we could finish between us. They were delicious- perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. Definitely very excellent fries here. Our burgers were ok - the meat and buns were delicious- great flavors and very nicely grilled. Their thousand island sauce is good too. But the lettuce was very soggy and wilted - I had to take it off my burger. And the cheese they use had a strong flavor similar to the prepackaged Kraft American slices that I really dislike. If they had used fresh lettuce and a better quality cheese those burgers would've been amazing. The restaurant is definitely a bit divey and if it wasn't for the "A" health score, I probably wouldn't have given it a try - the seating area is in need of a serious deep clean and the chairs need to be replaced badly lol. But their prices are insanely inexpensive- especially given our current levels of inflation lol. They're located in a very busy spot with plenty of easy parking and they're easy to find.
A nice local burger joint. Got a pastrami cheese burger (was the daily special, not sure if it's always available) It's a cheeseburger topped with pastrami. It's not the best iteration of a pastrami cheeseburger that I've had, but it gets the job done. Had a thick slice of tomato and hand leafed lettuce. Came with french fries and a pickle. The french fries were of standard quality and satisfying enough. There was a ketchup bottle to use so I had no problem keeping the flow of ketchup consistent on my fries. The service was on the slower end but it wasn't horrible or anything, but could have been a one off. I would be prepared for a wait if I saw a lot of folks chilling around. The service was very polite and welcoming, so as long as I wasn't in a rush, I wouldn't mind giving them a few more minutes. Venue is very small, a little cramped almost. I think most people would prefer to sit on the tables outside or just take the order to-go. The seats are cracked so it definitely looks kind of old and run down, but the food is fine. Given this place's location, I'd probably compare it to Jim's further down the street. Jim's might be a better option in a vacuum but if I were approaching from the east I'd probably stop here for food instead of going all the way.
This location has been around for many years It a husband and wife owned business It was pretty busy when I went in for the first time . I went for lunch and had the fish and chips and order a corn dog, teriyaki burger The lady at the counter sweet and helpful . Corn dog was surprisingly good the batter tasty . Fish was a little to extra friend for me ,coleslaw was excellent . Hard to find a good coleslaw. Enjoyed the teriyaki sauce on the burger ,French fries to extra crispy for me. Inside seating extremely small Best to order food to go. Next time will try a cheeseburger
This place used to be so much better a few years ago. The bun was burnt, and the tomato was about five times thicker than the meat patty -- no exaggeration. And the fries... my goodness. They were absolutely drenched in oil. My heart's still racing after just a few bites, which tells you how bad that oil must have been. You can see from the photo how soggy and greasy they were. For prices comparable to In-N-Out, the least they could do is use fresh oil. Sadly, I won't be coming back.
Classic historic monrovia mom and pop spot. Food is always served hot and yummy. Teriyaki burgers, pastrami burgers and chicken sandwich you can't miss
Authentic 80's food truck pastrami with plenty of pickles and mustard! Generous portion! Today's bread seems soft. Hope next time be more crisp. Pastrami flavors are always great! Soda refill $1.00 . Friendly service and old fashion burger joint interior.
This is a small burger place in the 626 area. I did not realize of this place after living here for 4 years. There is a small parking lot. They have their A/C on in the cold weather. Because of that, we order our burger to go. We ordered a double cheese burger with fries. I used the Yelp check-in offer for a cheese burger, and a side of fries. The cheese burger is decent to me. The patty was cook perfectly. However, the fries was a bit disappointed. They were soggy. Thank you for the check-in offer. I am grateful. When I ordered the food, the chef was standing by to get the order ready. He was wearing chef uniform. This shows his dedication and respect for his job. I will come back again to try their fish and chip.
Have been coming here for years, just because of how amazing the food is and how friendly the staff are! Food - I typically order a double cheeseburger with fries well done. With the fries well done, it just tastes so much better. You guys need to try it! The burger is so flavorful and enough to keep you full. Service - always fast, attentive and so friendly. The employees are always working so hard and they will always greet you with the biggest smiles. They have other things like fish and chips which I also would like to try out in the future. Ambiance - it's more of an older building with few tables inside and I believe 2 patio tables. I have never dined here before but I can tell you that the employees have always been so sweet to me. I may try to dine in sometimes
It's been a while since I stopped by so for Friday dinner, I picked up several items: double cheeseburger with fries, fish and chips, steak sandwich, and onion rings. Tasted just as good as before, even with the change in ownership. Everything tasted freshly made, which I can see when I went in person to order and waited. What really surprised me was how lean and tender the steak was in the $12 steak sandwich. No fat or tendon in sight. The steak sandwich will definitely go on my list of go-to orders. Burger Basket takes credit card but do charge a 50 cent fee. I just pay in cash. It's in a plaza with limited parking spots in a couple of I door and outdoor seats so most people order to go. read more
Came in haven't been to burger basket in ages. Asian lady was friendly and helpful. Burger had a good char on it and tasted like a good old fashioned cheeseburger came with nice crisp large fries but not steak fries and a drink for $14. Small burger spot that was bright and inviting. read more

Order through delivery app. The fish & chips were alright, fish was deep fried nicely. Crunchy batter. The pastrami sandwich had too much pickle so it was way too sour.... The burger didn't look too appetizing, thin patty. read more
It's easy to forget about a hometown staple but once that first bite hits... it's great to be reunited. Same solid customer service & quick delivery. I had the fried fish sandwich combo and it was amazing. Great size meal, tasty piece of fish and so many crispy fries! My only complaint is not enough seats but I was already prepared for take away. read more

My parents bought their house in 1975, burger basket has been here since 1963! As a kid we didn't come here at all, today I was in the area and I decided to give it a shot. I just got a classic cheeseburger no fries or drink. You know what? It was VERY good. I love to support local businesses and the owners are wonderful nice people. I was able to strike up a conversation with them and talk about all the changes through the years. The quality of the burger tasted very fresh and bun was nicely toasted. I definitely recommend coming here if you haven't already. Hope they make it to 2063 so they can say they been here for 100 years! read more

Recently moved to the area and I kept passing by this place daily. Finally tried their food and it was fantastic! I ordered online and picked it up to enjoy at home. There were two staff members and they were both wearing masks which was nice. As for the food- it was great!! The chicken sandwich was delicious and I loved the fries. I'm definitely coming back here read more
Good hamburger joint if you're in the neighborhood. Got the cheeseburger and fries combo. Cheeseburger was ok... nothing spectacular and the fries were OK. But you could taste the grease on the crispy fries. They charge a extra $1.00 for soda refills. Service was great. They accept charge cards. No air conditioner on the inside of restaurant with small eating area. read more

Came here on a Friday evening right before they closed. I was warmly welcomed, and my food was ready within 5-7 min! I ordered a combo, double cheeseburger with fries, and it was delicious and fresh!! It also came with the option of a large/medium drink. My friend ordered the double hamburger and teriyaki burger (the latter, he enjoyed the best). Side note: burgers came with a pickle which was a nice touch. We both agreed that if we ever wanted a burger, we would come here! Will definitely be back. read more

I've driven past this little burger shop for countless years, but just never had the time to stop in. We ended up ordering for door dash pick up and I have to say, the almost all 5 star ratings don't lie. I had been craving fish and chips for awhile, so I was obviously excited to taste their fish combo. We had picked up the food, which was neatly packed and tied up, and didn't eat the food until 25 mins later, the fries and onion rings and fish were stillllll crisp, I was incredibly shocked and delighted. The fish was crunchy and had tons of flakey meat, the cold slaw was good, but personally too much dressing for me. The pastrami sandwich was loaded with a mountain of meat and pickles and mustard for a lil acid. What I love the most was the beer battered onion rings. So good, forgot to take a picture. I will be coming back to try the burgers one day! read more

The least pretentious of burger spots. You get a solid burger here for a good deal. It used to be a great deal before Covid, but for a meal at under $14 it's not bad. The fries were hot and fresh. The burger patty actually carries flavor. And the carbonation in the soda is spot on. 3 small tables inside and a picnic bench outside serves as accommodations. Unassuming, and straight to the point get a great burger meal. Unfortunately, some basic condiments are extra cost. read more

Since I have lived in the area, I have always wanted to try out the Burger Basket. I finally did... It only took nearly 6 years! Burger Basket is everything you want from a place like this. Nice people who run the place, and good food. My cheeseburger was just what I needed, the pickle spear had a ton of flavor (I'm a pickle snob, ha, ha), the onion rings are good (I could have gone for a bit more salt), and their Thai tea is delicious! When the mood strikes again, I'll be sure to stop by Burger Basket! read more
