I have not yet eaten at this establishment and have visited several times for a quick pick up of Bionico's. This past time, I ordered a small batch of fries that I will gladly pass on in the future. Place inside does not look as inviting, maybe a revamp of the menu, lighting, counter would help to draw in customers. However, even if I did not try the food, II will state that the Bionico's are super delicious. I have not found many places in the SouthBay that sell this. I am glad I found this spot and will continue to support it given the taste has been consistent. Maybe some day I will work up the courage to try the food. read more

Great food, quick service, very reasonable prices, and friendly staff. Ambiance just ok but I'm glad I stayed cause it's really good bang for your buck so very worth it. read more

Came here for lunch The place has a nostalgic diner setting and was pretty clean inside. I ordered the pastrami burger which was a mistake. The pastrami was very low grade, thick and chewy. The rest of the burger was decent but nothing impressive. Buns tasted like something from the grocery store and the patty had a nice char to it but was not very big or high quality. The staff was nice and the burger came out pretty fast, so that's a plus. read more

What a hidden Gem. I had to come to the city for a job and this was on the corner and I told my team let's try it... I grew up around small burger stands like this and it did not disappoint. If your burger spot doesn't have a bathroom key connected to a random item your in the wrong place.. The burger was phenomenal! Just a perfect place to eat. read more

This place was a dope. Old school feel. The service was good. The food was also delicious read more

The gentleman at the counter that took my order was very nice and friendly. I ordered a grilled chicken and avocado salad and small fries. The order came out quick. The salad was mostly white lettuce, the chicken was not fresh meat or grilled, something pressed with the grill marks already on it out the bag or freezer probably, and the avocados brown. For the fries, some were cooked crispy v she others soft almost undone. I have no idea how they have an A on the window. While there an older man walked in, spoke to the cashier and went back in the kitchen to talk to the cook, rested his hands on the prep station where the guy was making food and then went back out to the front to talk to someone in the booth in the corner. Could have been the owner, don't care, it was insanitary. The place is dark and very old furniture and tables. The pictures on the wall are just stock photos and not an accurate representation of the food you will get. I've been local in the neighborhood over 20 something years and this was my first and last time here. Disappointed to say the least. read more

Oh my gosh !! What a flashback to great food! Everything was delicious and affordable. Served perfectly hot and pleasant atmosphere. It's where the local hang out and I'll def be a regular customer. !! read more

ASK FOR A RECEIPT. CHECK IT. I used to come here regularly for quick take-out -- about 4-6 times a month. I typically just paid with my card and left without checking the receipt. On my last visit, I was grossly overcharged: $18 for a cheeseburger and a hamburger. I didn't notice until I was halfway home, so I turned around and went back to the store. The main guy there was genuinely apologetic and gave me a cash refund, which I appreciated. However, the employee who took my order and overcharged me just stood there silently, smirking a little -- no apology, no explanation. I've always loved the food and had good experiences with most of the staff, but that moment ruined it for me. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

Burger was decent nothing worth bragging about. Quick service for our food in about 10 minutes or so. Clean establishment. The ranch was DEFINITELY OLD/expired, it formed to the shape of the lid/cap. The fries were decent, definitely needed more seasoning. Wasn't a huge fan. read more

I don't usually write reviews but this place is too good not to do so. I've been coming here since I was in high school across the street and 4 years later I still go very often. The burgers are honestly the best I've ever had. I like to order the bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions and every time it is absolutely delicious and enjoyable. Not only that , the workers are extremely nice to me and that includes every worker so far. Not only that but the restroom is always spotless and the restaurant always seems clean and in order. I like to place my order on the phone so when I arrive it's always ready to go. I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant and I hope this review will give you insight of my experience. This is the only place I eat burgers and I will always come back here. read more

The service is great and the workers are so humble and friendly I now know why their food taste so good

I never have a bad meal here. I love their charbroiled burgers. The fries aren't the best, but the burgers are good. They have a straight steak breakfast as well. read more

Very clean and polite. Menu was overwhelming like pick something not everything so you specialize in one. Had double burger and fries. Produce was fresh and food was hot. read more

I'm impressed that the breakfast burrito hasn't changed in quality since I started eating it back when I was in highschool in 2009. Still love it! And at only $10! read more

Bruh... burgers are terrible. Burger is frozen, dry, not seasoned. Fries, frozen and not seasoned. Im trying to support local businesses but the burger is sub parr. Its a shame. I had the double bacon burger, should have been an easy home-run but unfortunately just very disappointing, especially at the price. read more

Always an affordable & good place to eat. Staff is very nice. It always has soccer games on.

Awesome food, service and location. Highly recommend anytime. Burgers here and so good.

Great family run burger place in Hawthorne. Been going to it for years. Pasqual, Flacco, Gordo and Pedro are all super friendly and helpful. Whatever and however you want an order, they'll do their best to make it. Definitely what a full service burger and speciality food spot should be. read more

They cashier was nice. I got a breakfast burrito with just turkey sausage for the meat ad it was super good. My husband said the pastrami sandwich was pretty decent read more

Hamburger bun was hard, we called them and had to come back to exchange it. We order by phone service it's not the best. read more

Excellent old school diner counter burgers. In town for the weekend and this place was near the hotel so we swung in for something fast. We ended up going twice we liked it so much. No frills and nothing fancy just a fantastic burger at a very affordable price. My SO ordered the pastrami sandwich which was absolutely piled high with meat and he couldn't finish his side. Definitely a must stop if you just want a good meal for a really fair price. read more

This review is solely based on the customer service. They have an authenticity of a burger joint where I grew up in a predominantly Mexican neighborhood in L.A.; missed this feeling. The cashier was great and was able to calmly and eloquently explain what's in their breakfast burrito. Stay tuned in for the food review read more

Quality Wilted lettuce + a lot of core pieces in my burger , Big Mac type of patties with oversized bread to give a false sense of size, you can tell the tomato has been sitting in a container for a while it had that weird soft texture, Cleanliness There were flies in the place, the kitchen looked like a mess! Very poor conditions, floors look like they haven't properly moped in months! A few tables were unoccupied and were not cleaned after guests had left, they just took a napkin and "dusted" them. Food --safety violation--- half and half was left out the whole hour I sat there, no ice no refrigeration nothing. read more

Man oh man. I had taken a break from reviewing, and my first crack back into the flow is, uhm... Interesting. I've ordered from Cougar's before, and I do like their burgers and fries. I've never ventured into anything else on their menu, but a few days ago, I was craving breakfast and decided to stop in for an omelette. I ordered their steak (carne asada) omelette to go, waited a bit, got my order and went home. I should've checked it before leaving the restaurant. These dudes threw 2 slices of KRAFT SANDWICH CHEESE ON TOP OF THE OMELETTE LIKE IT'S A DAMN GARNISH. When I opened the box at home, I didn't even know what to say! I was able to pick off the cheese slices, and still ate the omelette (which wasn't bad!) And the hash browns included in the meal. Man, I still don't know what to say! But no lie, I'll probably be back for their burgers, but c'mon guys, throwing Kraft slices on top of an omelette is just... Ridiculous. Y'all should be ashamed. read more

I have to say that what I tried from cougar burger was by far the most TERRIBLE thing I have ever had and the price of the item didn't make it any better! So I stopped here (because I see them on my route everyday) and decided to get a quick bite to eat. I just wanted chili cheese fries. That's it. Simple right. Service was great, food was terrible. I'm thinking these are gonna be some pretty good chili cheese fries for $8, but boy was I mistaken. Chili? Terrible. Cheese? Terrible. Fries? Terrible. If I could give it no stars I would because I didn't even finish them. That experience turned me off from potentially trying them in the future. Maybe they have some good things there, I won't know. Because $8 1 star chili cheese fries aren't something that necessarily wowed me into wanting to return. read more

If I could I would leave negative 0 stars,my husband and I came in and ordered 2 bacon avocado burgers one regular and one without cheese I ordered mine with onion rings and his with fries. There was hair on both my onion rings and his fries. I showed the cashier and he just said sorry, I go back and my husbands burger has cheese,I tell the cashier and they take the burger only to get the same burger back just with the cheese removed,there was still a piece of cheese on the burger. They couldn't even give us a brand new burger. I was very upset and left so forgot to take pictures. read more

Ive supported this business so much but it ends today. The younger guy that takes orders at the counter is rude to anyone who is not hispanic. I asked him a simple question "what's better, tuna or turkey sandwich?" And he said "I don't know" and walked away. HE HAS A Bad attitude ALWAYS. So I walked oUT and went right next door to MI Zacatecas. Much better customer service.. PEACE COUGAR BURGERS. Rude ass mothafucca read more

the service was DISRESPECTFUL! Even though my foot was on the chair I understand that wasn't okay on my part. The way they could've told me was politely but they did the OPPOSITE. I felt embarrassed and disrespected, i tried being respectful and being silent but the looks they are giving me and the way they SPOKE to me was outrageous. TWO people yelled at me about it and honestly they were rude as heck. Excuse my language. Im just really speechless at this service. Bag secured tho! read more
