So Classic Burgers has been a regular stop on my road trips up the 395, mostly because there is a Tesla Charger station in the same parking lot. Also because they have clean bathrooms available, and of course, the tasty burgers, fries, onion rings, and other burger joint favorites. The menu is not cheap, but most things are pretty good including the avocado bacon cheeseburger and the onion rings. They also have really good shakes and malts. It's basically a classic old-school burger joint but everything tastes good because not many places make things like that anymore. Service is usually pretty quick. The decor is classic diner and they've got a few interesting things on the walls. Overall a five star roadtrip stop. read more

Classic Burgers - Avocado bacon and onion rings! - Burgers Near Me - Inyokern, California

+ Good classy burgers. Nothing special. Just gets the job done when you're way out middle of nowhere. . Turns out walking over to the counter to order in-person is quicker than waiting for the customer in front of you to finish ordering at the self-order kiosk. - I just wish the cashier was available sooner/more. - lol tried to order online on the drive there to save time, but service out there so spotty. By the time I reached the checkout page on my phone, it said 25min wait, and I had already physically arrived at the restaurant. Quicker to just order in-person lmao. . Decent amount of indoor seating, but quite crowded. It's a desert out there, and this burger joint seems a popular stop. + First restaurant I've seen with a hand-washing sink within the dining area. Neat! + Good restrooms. Well ventilated. Considering we just came from a buncha hikes with poorly-maintained trailhead restrooms, recuperating here was a relief. read more

My son and I stopped at Classic Burgers on our way back to Los Angeles today. Every time we're in the area, we make it a point to stop in and grab one of their tasty burgers and wonderful soft serve ice creams. Wherever you're coming from, Classic Burgers is worth the trip. God bless and have a great day. read more

Go somewhere else. Went through the drive through and ordered three meals. One of the meals we asked if they had coffee and they said "yes. Iced or hot?" When they handed me my meal they gave me a latte, which was good. I pointed it out. The employee then tells me that they don't have regular coffee, only lattes. Funny as life is, I run inside to get some more napkins and a person was drinking hot coffee. I asked if it was and her response was "it is and they have excellent lattes!" I couldn't help be be blown away by the irony. I don't drink lattes and I had already thrown it out so it's a mute point to return it and call the employee out. Issue is, not truthful, not knowledgeable enough, or just plan lazy, I question the integrity of that employee and as a guest that reads reviews, I would be worried about the quality and what I get served. The food was good, but to have an employee flat out lie about the product you just purchased is beyond a failure. On top of it, another part of the order was incorrect. Not worth the nearly $50 for two adults and a kids meal. read more

Stopped for quick snacks. Ordered chili fries and fries were undercooked, chili is definitely canned. Honestly, del taco has better chili fries. It's self order via kiosk but when I picked up my order I asked for extra fork and I was ignored. Service sucked. Prices are average. Music was good read more

Driving south on 395 and looking for lunch and tried Classic Burgers. This is in Inyokern, so the middle of the desert in a small town and I think everyone goes there. And for good reason! Service was fast and efficient. There are a number of menu options but I went for the Lava Cheeseburger Combo (mild/original). That was enough spice for my wimpy taste buds but if you're a spice lover, go for it! The burger was huge and filling -- as was the side of onion rings. Finally! Someplace to get more than a couple of onion rings -- it was a hearty portion. My traveling partner got the kids chicken strips and loved the crispy chicken. Brewed iced tea. An oasis in the desert. read more

Honestly, I stopped here after getting gas and was very disappointed. After hearing the supervisor yell at her employees "why does it say 50 & 47 min"... she throws my burger at me. The bacon tasted like it had been sitting since 8am. Disgusting. The bread was falling apart like it was at least 4 days old. I hope the supervisor learns how to lead a team better because I shouldn't be hearing you yell at your employees. If you ran a better establishment there wouldn't have been much of a wait. Quality of ingredients was low. It's the only burger place in town so maybe people have low expectations. It could be much better with a more supportive supervisor. read more

Our friend recommended that we try the burgers at this fast food restaurant as it is one of their favorites in the area. They have so many burgers to choose from but the cashier recommended the Lava burger combo with fries. We also ordered an Impossible burger. The Lava burger was delicious with lots of cheese and grilled onions. The Impossible burger wasn't cooked thoroughly but the crinkle fries were good. The ice cream shakes looked amazing but we didn't order one. read more

Classic burger gives 'classic' fast food vibes complete with the tables and attached swivel chairs. It's nice and big inside. Order at the counter get your number, standard stuff. The menu is definitely not standard with a nice focus on heat. Prominent are the Lava burger and Mojave Heat chicken sandwich which come in mild, hot and extreme variants. There are other options too of course such as loaded fries, philly cheese, melts to complement the standard fare. I got the lava burger, hot. It was a solid burger and I loved the sauce. My fam was satisfied with their food too. As for the location. It's nice and clean inside, restrooms outside were also clean and well kept. Staff was great. A solid mid-journey stop. FlA parting note, they are a Pepsi place :( but I'm not gonna hold it against them ;) read more

Been here several times since moving to the area and it always satisfies. The recipes are followed to a T, so you know they run a tight ship. My new favorite thing to get is an order of fries and a banana ice cream sundae. They have lots of desserts and coffee drinks I have yet to try, too. Get off of the 14 or the 395 and eat here. read more

Great food. Fast service. The ambiance is that of a cafeteria. It's run by kiosk. Burgers are good.

Classic Burgers was a tasty place to grab lunch while we waited for the car to charge. Ordering was easy on the digital kiosk. There was a small wait which was a good indication that food was likely cooked to order. I ordered the Inyokern Cowboy Cheeseburger combo with crinkle-cut fries. The cheeseburger was hefty with great quality ingredients. I loved the added crispy onion rings, bacon, and BBQ sauce. The crinkle-cut fries were the standard fries you expect from a frozen bag. read more

In the middle of nowhere but a really clean and tasty stop when you're in need of a lunch break. Burgers were great with good ingredients. Bathrooms were clean and the restaurant itself was very clean. They had free WiFi for their guests.

If you are traveling on 395, this is a good place to stop for burgers. We had our lunch here on our way to Bishop. The burgers are fresh and tasted clean. is not drenched in sauce like the popular ones. We got our food fairly quickly like in 15 minutes with about 10 people dining inside. After we got our food, lots of customers came in and I could see how it can take time to get your orders. Another nice thing about this restaurant is their restaurant is clean and they have a clean restrooms that have flushable toilet seat cover as well as an automatic paper towel dispenser so you never have to touch any surfaces in the restroom. read more

Definitely a great burger spot off 395! I got the BBQ Swiss, but swapped it for cheddar. They have the crinkle cut style fries too. The place was clean, and they even have a sink in the cut of the eating area to wash up. They were nice at the register, you know young kids with a summer job. Thanks for a great experience. read more

Great food, very very clean. Nice and cool and they have charging stations, clean bathrooms outside and lots and lots of charging stations! read more

Amazing service and delicious food. I was craving a nice burger and stopped in for a beyond burger. This place is awesome for vegans and other dietary restrictions - lettuce wraps and gf bundles are available as well as a vegetarian garden burger and staff are so knowledgeable and helpful. My kids were thrilled we could get a beyond burger swapped into their kids combos. I was impressed by the generous serving of perfect avocado. Nice high chairs too if you're traveling with a baby. The music and vibe are fun. My burger was everything I was craving and more, fresh, flavorful and made with care! Worth a stop if you're passing through! read more

Very impressed, for someone who doesn't eat meat! We were looking for a quick spot on our drive home from mammoth. This was a great medium for my Bf who wanted a burger. I had a beyond meat and he enjoyed the double cheese burger. The onion rings were great too! read more

This is a good pit stop on the 395 to both charge your car and grab a bite to eat! I tried the lava burger (added extra grilled onions, raw onions, hot, cut in half), the Inyokern cowboy cheeseburger (added onions, cut in half), and their extra seasoned large fries. I ordered online and it was ready in around 15 minutes. You can modify your burgers a lot if you choose. Clean restaurant and outdoor bathroom with a classic diner charm. I liked both burgers - the lava burger had a slight kick to it and plenty of onions, and the cowboy cheeseburger had some crispy onion rings and the secret sauce/bbq sauce mixed well. I thought the fries were good crunch-wise but not seasoned as much as I was hoping for. The meat was generally tender. Either way, I am satisfied with my meal and I'll come back again when I'm out this way! read more

I thought I would try one of their coffee drinks. I had an espresso pistachio shake. My husband had an espresso mocha shake. Both were so delicious! We don't tolerate caffeine well. I hope soon they will get a decaf espresso maker! We might go there for our coffee runs. read more

The food was great. We had cheese burgers and onion rings. Very good.. service. we received our food in a timely matter.

We ate here while the Tesla was charging. There are convenient restrooms and we decided to eat lunch as the car was charging. There is a kiosk to order but I wanted the human touch so we ordered at the counter. The photos of the menu items looked delicious! W got a#3 single classic burger combo, a #4 Lava cheeseburger combo, and a single classic burger. This was enough for three people. The food was OK, not as good as the photos but it is s convenient lunch spot on the way to Mammoth if you have a Tesla that needs charging. read more

Excellent burgers at reasonable prices (or at least what now qualifies as reasonable). Also 0.5 mile from 395 and 4 miles from 14, on 178. There's also a gas station next door and a Dollar General 0.25 mile away. Only negative is they close at 9pm. read more

Located right outside of Kernville/ Lake Isabella. Perfect pit stop for a quick bite and restroom break. They have Tesla/Rivian charging stations right outside. The quality of the food was surprisingly good, and the service was speedy. Great pitstop read more

Great burgers! It was right next to the Tesla charging station. There isn't much to do or see in the area and it was 109°F when we were there. Lucky for us this burger restaurant was there. It was busy but has blessed air conditioned! We ordered burgers to go and they were really good. Everything was fresh. Fries were crunchy and cooked just right. Prices were reasonable. read more

Was driving north on 395 and noticed a faded sign for 'Classic Burger' in Inyokern. Was craving a burger and shake. Really did not have big expectations for a place in a small town in the Mohave Desert. Wow! Was I wrong, One of the best burgers I have had at a burger joint. The shake was very good too. For 80 cents more they will add fresh fruit to your shake. I highly recommend this place when driving through this area. I will add this place to my must stop list. read more

This is the spot to hit if you are in the area! Post adventure must if you can make it in! Next door as a sweet dive bar as well, plus there is a Tesla charging station. Inyo Kern might be the greatest place on Earth!! read more
