I'm giving Classic Burgers four stars because this place has been a staple for me for years and it still hits the spot every single time. If you know, you know. It's one of those dependable neighborhood spots that you keep coming back to because the food is comforting, filling, and consistently good. I've been coming here for well over 15 years and it's always been that place you think of when you just want something solid that won't disappoint. The food itself is exactly why people love this place. Everything tastes best fresh, especially the fries and the teriyaki bowl. That's the kind of food you want to sit down and enjoy right away, not throw in a bag and rush out the door. Which brings me to the only reason this isn't a five star review. We showed up with about 30 minutes left before closing and were told we couldn't sit in the dining area, even though it was still open. That felt a little off and honestly kind of disrespectful, especially when the food is meant to be eaten fresh and hot. That said, the food was still really good, even to go, and I'm still recommending this place without hesitation. It's right there in the same shopping center as 85°C Bakery, super easy to find, and absolutely worth trying if you're in the area. Please try it. Seriously. This place has earned its reputation over the years and it's a true classic for a reason.
Solid place to get your burger, fries and onion rings fix. The lady behind the counter was friendly and welcoming. There are a few tables inside and outside to eat. Would def come back!
I see this place all the time whenever I'm at the Dave's Hot Chicken so I finally decided to give it a shot. The chili burger reminded me a lot of a Famous Star, which on the surface isn't the worst comparison. It was serviceable and gods know Famous and Super Stars got me through college so I'll never badmouth them. Where I think it fails is the chili. It was just far too thin. The flavor was okay but It was broth-like instead of Sloppy Joe-like and that's no bueno. It just kept falling out of the burger far too easily. The space is kind of small with not many tables. I tried to read inside but it felt very cramped and that I was occupying valuable table space. And as usual, if I can't read in a place there's very little chance it'll become a regular haunt of mine. At least the staff was nice enough and seemed generally interested that I enjoyed my meal and didn't have any bad experiences. I wish I could rate a burger joint on personality of its workers because I'd bump this place up a star.
A great "classic" burger stand that serves so much more than burgers. You won't leave hungry. Big portions, but no compromise on ingredients. Very reasonably priced with 1/4 lb burgers starting at $6.99. Combos at 10.99. Very friendly staff. No ordering kiosks here!
Classic Burger is affordable and filling. I ordered the Sausage Breakfast Burrito ($8.99). The breakfast burrito includes hash browns, cheese, egg, and sausage. The Sausage Breakfast Burrito tastes like soft potatoes and cheese. The meat is an afterthought; the meat content is small. The flavor is mostly cheese and potatoes. The cheese masks the eggs' flavor. However, Classic Burger's breakfast burrito is above average since the hash browns are cooked decently. It's convenient food that's generous in its potatoes. Service is mixed. I arrived on a weekday (near 9:00AM). The breakfast burrito arrived quickly. It took 2 minutes. The cashier looked rushed and frustrated; the location is not the most welcoming. The location is cramped, but it's clean. There's tables inside and outside to eat. Classic Burger is connected to a busy plaza, so parking is nearby but busy. And there's several designated pickup parking spots. Overall, Classic Burger offers affordable and filling food. The food, service, and ambiance is unremarkable, but it's convenient if nearby.
I was curious about this place because it seems like a hole-in-the-wall burger spot and it looked like it would hit. I waited in line for a long time even though I was the only person in line but it seemed like the workers were really busy or the system wasn't too efficient. But I got a burger combo and the price was pretty good. I could see the cook making the patties and constructing the burger which made my appetite grow. The interior is really small, only like two or three tables. My burger and fries were really yummy and it did hit.
It's been years since I've been here and decided to stop by today and I did not regret it This place still has the same great taste I recommend the teriyaki but the burgers are awesome place is small but clean old school look service was great don't be shy give it a try.
Very disappointed during this visit. My family and colleagues have been coming here for years and never had a bad experience to today. Notice they started skipping on the portion of chilli cheese fries and the actual cheese. I asked for extra cheese and they charged me $2.75. Very disappointed! I understand inflation but this is ridiculous.
The definition of a hole in the wall, if a freestanding place could be described as a hole in the wall. Typical burger joint and Mexican food. Food is decent and reasonably priced. It is busy and has very limited seating inside, patio outdoors, though. The employees are friendly, working hard serving food to real people! Not flashy.
It's a no frills fast food burger joint. I was in the area and wanted to try this place since it's been in this area for a long time and I wanted to know if it could be as good as in n out. It's not by any means but I at least gave it a try. My classic burger was a little overcooked and the fries were cold by the time I got there to pick it up. Service was quick as the line was short since I placed my order after the lunch rush. They have four pickup parking spaces for themselves and many other parking spaces for this shopping center but because there are so many other restaurants in the plaza its hard to find parking.
I was waiting for my wife in this plaza and was craving a quick take out type burger. I got a cheeseburger and a small chili cheese fry for about $12.50. First bite was reminiscent of a slightly upgraded and fresher (due to veggies) McDonald's cheese burger. I would skip the chili cheese fries. The chili cheese fries were kind of bland and nothing special. Plaza is busy so parking may be tough on weekends but there are some takeout parking spots as well as indoor and outdoor seating if you're eating there. One extra star for fast efficient service.
I've been coming here for 20+ years the burger never disappoint,s but I was shocked on the amount of fries I got and they were burnt .. The price did go up and I didn't mind paying, I figured it's a small business 11.95 for a burger combo it's OK but I think next time i'll stay on the freeway and it will be a minute before I come . My local burger joint is 3$ less they are not shy w their french fries and they are not Burnt! I am glad I didn't come with my family . Sorry guys you lost my business at least for a couple more years before I stop by. But I do recommend Angelos Burgers In Pomona for 8.95 burger fries drink

I love this small little burger joint just across town for me. I usually get their cheeseburger special and today was nothing different. The cheeseburger is amazingly delicious with just the right amount of toppings, onions, and sauce, which I believe may be mayonnaise. However, their french fries were dark brown and tasted overcooked with absolutely no salt whatsoever. I would recommend a different side besides the fries. Service is good pretty much a husband and wife team. Food is cooked fresh to order. In the way of ambience, there is not much seating. I believe there is only 4 tables 3 can 4 people, 1 table seats two. I think I saw a couple of picnic type tables outside. read more

Love this little home in wall. Whenever I visit my mom in W Covina we have to stop here. Love their taquitos and pastrami anything. Food is always consistently good. Same owner/ workers for many years now. You can eat in side at the small dining area or outside at the patio. Hope they never change. read more
Finally came back to try the chicken teriyaki and let me tell you this did not disappoint! The portion, price and it was delicious so all wins in my book. F you're in the area make sure you check this spot out, the dining area is pretty small so I've seen a lot of people just place an order for pickup. read more

It has been quite some time since my last visit. I just want to post some updated pics of the menu. When looking through Yelp pics, they were dated as "four years ago". Prices have changed, somewhat.

I tried CB,s for the fist time at the recommendation of my sis-in-law who Loves and Raves about this place. Their is another super popular Teriyaki/Burger joint in the area that has a cult following. I have been one of its devotees but decided do be adventurous. I ordered the teriyaki chicken plate and chili burger w/ fries to go. The location is spotless, service is friendly and the food was ready within 15 minutes. There was a steady flow of customers so that was a promising sign. The bag was heavy so I knew the portions would be generous...and they were! My mate enjoyed the burger and fries and was satisfied with the large portion. The teri was OK. The mound off white rice was covered with some saucy chicken on one side of the container and a salad of lettuce, carrots and tomato slices on the other half. I am giving CB's a 4 based on the good service and generous portions. The Teri was not my favorite but I was happy to support a local neighborhood vendor. #ShopLocal read more

The pastrami sandwich and bacon breakfast burrito are delicious and very filling. The employees are very nice and there is hardly a wait before you get your food. The restaurant itself is very small, but always clean. read more
