    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.

    #2 Double Cheeseburger with Fries and 20 oz. Soda

    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!

    Double Cheeseburger, Corn Dog
    Nate P.

    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.

    Exterior- typical urban LA style lol

    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.

    French fry with ketchup! Yum. This is why i like having a ketchup squeeze bottle.

    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.

    Teriyaki cheeseburger with fries
    Brenda M.

    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

    Fries drenched in oil
    Christina X.

    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.

    #3 Chicken Sandwich with Fries and 20 oz. Soda

    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

    Old fashion pastrami
    Henry L.

    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.

    #2 Double Cheeseburger with Fries and 20 oz. Soda
    Kevin L.

    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

    I stopped by the Dave's Hot Chicken location in Monrovia for lunch around 2:00 p.m. It was busy,…read morewhich I took as a good sign. I'd never been before, but I'd been wanting to try it for a long time. As soon as I walked in, I noticed two ordering kiosks with people waiting in line. Before I could even figure out what to do, a young lady with the biggest smile greeted me and asked if she could help. Her name was Patty. I told her it was my first visit, and she patiently explained the menu, especially the different spice levels. Since I enjoy spicy food, I confidently ordered the Hot level. Looking back... I may have been a little overconfident! When my food was ready, Patty brought it to my table with the same genuine smile she greeted me with. The food looked incredible, and the chicken was juicy and delicious--but after a few bites, I realized the Hot level was hotter than I had imagined. I laughed to myself and thought, "Next time, I'm definitely ordering one level lower." A few minutes later, Patty came back to check on me because it was my first visit. I told her the food was great, but I'd overestimated my spice tolerance. Without hesitation she said, "I'll change it for you." I immediately told her, "No, it's okay. I don't want you to waste food." She smiled and replied, "I want you to enjoy it." That simple statement really impressed me. In today's world, you don't hear that very often. It reminded me of something I had just read about Dave's Hot Chicken--"Keep us honest." Patty truly lived that philosophy. She wasn't just serving food; she genuinely wanted my first experience to be a great one. The food was excellent, but Patty's kindness and customer service made the experience memorable. That's the kind of employee every business hopes to have. I'll definitely be back--and hopefully Patty will be there again. Thank you, Patty, for making my first visit such a great one. You turned a first-time customer into a returning one.

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.

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.

    There is one thing I have noticed almost every time I visit a Chipotle, regardless of the location:…read more**the attitude and customer service from the employees.** I usually visit during lunchtime, and when there is a line of customers waiting, the employees often seem more interested in talking and joking with each other than paying attention to the customers. They don't always seem to be in much of a hurry to keep the line moving. Sometimes, an employee will suddenly walk into the kitchen while customers are waiting. But once it is finally your turn to order, the atmosphere seems to change completely. The employees suddenly start rushing you through your order -- "Next, next, next." I actually feel pressured and uncomfortable because I feel like I have to quickly decide what I want to add before I hold up the line. I can see that there are often several employees working at the front, and they do seem busy. At the same time, it sometimes looks like they are under a lot of pressure, especially when one employee is handling several customers at once. Maybe that is why they seem so rushed when serving customers. I understand that working in a busy restaurant can be stressful and tiring. However, **the way some employees interact with customers can sometimes feel impatient, rushed, and even somewhat aggressive.** It makes the experience uncomfortable. What I find most noticeable is that many employees often have an expression that makes it seem like **they don't really want to be there.** I don't expect employees to smile all the time or be overly cheerful, but a little more patience, professionalism, and courtesy toward customers would make a big difference. I like Chipotle and I keep coming back because I enjoy the food. But honestly, **this is something I have noticed at many different Chipotle locations, not just one particular restaurant.** I really think the overall customer service experience could be improved.
