Larger then expected. Ordered the double cheeseburger combo and the burger was built just right, almost to tall to get my mouth around. Service was quick and friendly. Great taste! Good balance of all the ingredients. read more

Still my favorite burger in the area. I always get the cubby, which has a grilled hot dog on top of the cheeseburger and grilled onions. Grilled to perfection, somewhere between a medium and a medium rare. I love how the veggies are always super fresh as well. Crisp lettuce and firm tomatoes. The burger bun is fluffy. The fries have a Cajun salt on them and are fried to order. Cubby, fries and a drink for $15 is a steal in this economy. The ladies inside the hut are hardworking and welcoming. Always super nice and funny. What a great spot! read more

My first time here after driving by it all the time! I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. Made fresh to order and came out pretty quickly. Cheeseburger was delicious with nice and fresh lettuce and tomatoes. The fries were seasoned perfectly and nice and crispy! I need to go back and try their chicken burger next! Service was very friendly and they had a few outdoor picnic style tables to sit at if you wished to do so. I got my order to go and it was packed perfectly. read more

I've always pass by this little burger spot on my way to target and there would always be a line full of people ordering but I never bothered to give it a try. As I approached the front to order I noticed that the worker/ owner is Cambodian as I hear her speak to the other coworker in khmer. I ordered a cheeseburger with everything on it with the total coming out to around $7. Everything came out in as little as 3minutes. The cheeseburger was solid and juicy. Will definitely come back to this spot. read more

The ladies who run the shack are very kind and sweet. The burgers are freshly made to order.

Good turkey burger nice service , I'll try beef burger soon ,, ff Wes good also both ladies was nice ,

Apparently this place is iconic for anyone who grew up in Long Beach. It is a little hut located in a gas station. Don't let that fool you! A hamburger spot at a gas station must not be good. That is far from actual truth. It is AMAZING! The menu is pretty simple as you can see in the picture I added to this review. The burgers are delicious and very juicy. All ingredients put into the burger is fresh and crisp. But there fries!!!! OMG there fries are heaven sent. They are hot and ready to go. Seasoned with perfection and very yummy. I have been here more than once and I will say, it does get busy. There are only a few tables to eat there so I suggest either taking it to go or finding a nearby park to sit and enjoy your lunch. read more

My husband and I are high school sweethearts. He picked me up from school one day promising to get me "the best burger in town." Lol you can imagine my surprise when we pulled into this little place in the gas station parking lot. We ordered our burgers, chips and sodas (that's all they had on the menu at the time) and sat down. That boy wasn't lying! Best burger in town. It's been over 25 years since then and now we take our kids there. Great burgers! They've since added more options to the menu which I have to admit I haven't tried yet. I'm loyal to their cheeseburger. I think they now take cards these days too. Used to be a cash only place. read more

I can't tell you how many times I've driven past this place and thought "Time To Eat!" Always wanted to try it and tried it today. We had a jumbo cubby, a double cheeseburger, two fries and a Squirt. I found the pricing to be very reasonable. I didn't try the cubby because I don't like my food mixed up like that. If I want a hamburger, I want a hamburger, if I want a hotdog, I want a hotdog. It looked good and I thought it was an interesting concept. It was reported to be quite delicious. The fries are the perfect size, seasoned well and stayed hot until I got to my destination. I really like the complementary chilies because they're small. I find bigger chilies to be tough and too hot. The service was very good and efficient. There seemed to be a lot of teamwork going on. The ambience is very interesting because it is a little shack in a gas station parking lot on a busy Long Beach St. Parking can be a challenge. read more

I'd been meaning to try this place for awhile and it did not disappoint. The burger and fries were delicious and cooked to perfection, and all the ingredients were fresh. Not soggy or anything. One of the best burgers I've had. The service was fast and efficient, and they take card now (used to be cash only). I will definitely be going back. Note: Seating and parking are limited, and it's on a busy corner so it can be a little noisy. read more

This little hamburger stand, on the corner of Atlantic and Wardlow Road in Long Beach is iconic! Just pull into the service station on the corner, there are parking spots next to the picnic tables. It is a walk up window, where you place your order and pick up your freshly made sandwich. The hot dogs is made the way Hof's used to , back in the beach stand beginning....sliced long way, grilled and served on a burger bun with lettuce, pickles and tomatoes. It's a great deal, for a tasty lunch, served with a bit of nostalgia read more

Needed to stop for gas on the way home and discovered this little gem.

When I received my order, it was absolutely delicious and very satisfying. 100% hit the spot. I will be sure to stop over at Dave's burgers on my trips back-and-forth to Orange County in the future. Well done Dave's! read more

This is a burger shack, literally. There's no bathroom. There are 3 picnic tables to eat at. The drinks are in a self-serve cooler. The menu is small. It's definitely divey. Their hours are pretty limited. The location is a gas station parking lot. Parking is limited and some low class people park their cars at a gas pump while they're waiting for their food, which is tacky, rude, and insensitive to others. Does this sound like the start of a good review? No, yet it is. Dave's is really good. It's normally crowded at lunch time. The two ladies working here are pleasant and they work fast. Their fries are pretty good. Their burgers are very good. I get food here once in a while when i'm getting my car washed across the intersection. As their old school clock sign boasts: it's burger time! read more

Thought I'd stop by Dave's since my wife and I were in Long Beach for the Elite Event for the Holey Grail promotion. Gave the jumbo Cubby one more try but it didn't really change my mind. I should have asked for raw onions instead of the grilled though. That would have been better. Yeah, I should have gotten the patty melt. It's still nice to get an old fashioned basic mom and pop burger though. Fewer and fewer independent burger stands left anymore. Really tired of the chain burgers. The ladies here do a great job of making their customers feel appreciated unlike Mac's, Carl's, Jack, etc where you're just the next number in line. read more

So the problem I have at this place is that their online menu does not match the menu that they have at their location. I wanted a cheeseburger but on this side it says it's three dollars and some change.then you call them and it's six dollars. That is what stops me from going to a little holes in the walls like this because they're false advertising their business so when you go there, you expect to pay three dollars and some change for a cheeseburger and then they don't charge you that they charge you more so read more

They changed my order didn't get dbbl cubby I ordered. The food not seasoned. Tasteless cardboard food. Don't bother.

Very small, but amazing place I found while driving through Long Beach Absolutely great burgers Located at a 76 gas station on Atlantic and Wardlow Boulevard Very surprised at the great quality and service As soon as I stopped And ordered my food Around 4 PM in the afternoon on a weekday It suddenly got extremely busy Business people bringing their wives local people that live in the area Worth a drive to check this place out Did not disappoint at all I would highly recommend this place to anybody that enjoys a great burger read more

I pulled up to Dave's thinking I was going to get me a good hand-made burger, full of flavor and juicy. Man, was I disappointed. When I was a kid, my father and I would go to the car wash across the street every Friday. I knew we were going to walk across the street while we waited and get a good burger from Dave's. That's exactly what I was expecting when I pulled up yesterday. After spending nearly 30 dollars, I got a burger made from a frozen patty with no flavor and fries that were half-seasoned. It looks like it's a new owner, but the old shack still looks the same with the same menu. I would have been better off going to In n Out, this place is not Dave's and should be required to change their name. I only gave a star because it is require. read more

Dave's burgers. A staple in LB. No longer owned and operated by Dave but the new owners do a pretty darn good job. I grew up near Dave's, my family and I would visit Dave's little burger stand probably too often. lol! Dave's was the best burger around by far. No disrespect to the current owners. Like I said. They still do a good job. I have since moved from LB to OC, but I still enjoy stopping by from time to time. Dave's burger: still one of the best. read more

Great location for a burger joint in the LBC. Dave's Double Cheeseburger did not disappoint. Juicy, tender, thick meat with all the fixings like lettuce, grilled onion, tomato and pickle on a sesame bun with their thousand island dressing. I think it's a great price for the quality and size of the burger. Plus you get fries and a drink. Definitely a must try if you are in the Long Beach area. There's certainly a lot of choices and competition out there for best burgers, and Dave's Burgers belongs on that list if you have a love for burgers. read more

Dave's Burgers is one of the most underrated food places I have ever been to. It's a small little shack, tucked away off the parking lot corner of a 76 gas station, in Long Beach. It's owned and operated by a Vietnamese family. I've tried almost everything on the menu, from here, over the past few years. My #1 from here is the patty melt. The patty melt is a thick quality beef patty, inside rye bread, with tomatoes and grilled onions. My #2 is the turkey burger. The patty melt and turkey burger from here are the very best you can find in my opinion. The fries from here are also one of my favorites. They're thick-cut steak fries--think fries from Tommy Burgers or Red Robin--always perfectly cooked, with a slight dust of seasoning. When I visit Long Beach, about half the time I make a stop at Dave's Burgers. One drawback is the sometimes tricky parking situation, especially during mealtimes. The other drawback is there's only about five or six tables (outdoor seating only), though it's dog-friendly. read more

5/5! Been craving a patty melt for weeks, and dropped by Dave's while on an errand in Long Beach. I got lucky to be able to check it out! The folks working at the counter and flat top were both super great, and service was kind and efficient. The vibe was as good as it gets for a classic walk-up in a gas station parking lot. Sometimes the old fashioned things hold up the test of time for a reason- and Dave's is absolutely proof of that. Fries snuck up on me with how good they were... Got them on a whim to bring to my girl and ate half in the car while en route. Will absolutely go out of my way to swing by here again in the future. Thanks for a flawless burger! read more

I had to fast for a medical procedure and left my doctor's office thisclose to HANGRY. I scrolled through my options on Yelp and Dave's Burgers and it's 475 glowing reviews meriting an aggregate score of 4.5 stars COULDN'T be wrong! Dave's it was! Don't be alarmed by its simple, non-glamorous position occupying the SE corner of the Union 76 gas station on the corner of Atlantic and Wardlow in Long Beach! Dave's is as simple as WAIT, STAY and RETURN: **For starters, patiently WAIT your turn to find parking as dozens of cars jockey for the half-dozen spots carved out of the lot; then, **STAY for the glorious, intoxicating smells of freshly griddled plate-sized ground beef patties and butterflied hot dogs plancha'd to a toasty dark brown that fills the air like SCENTED CRACK; then, **RETURN for your next batch of Cubby Burgers! What, you say, is a cubby burger?! Despite its childish name befitting the smallest of bears, Dave's CUBBY Burger is more like the GRIZZLY of bears, um, burgers! Imagine a saucer-sized patty topped with ice cold lettuce, tomato, onions, pickle, special sauce and two snappy weiners butterflied then fried to an inch of their lives ... pair it with their golden brown fries, lightly salted and you've got THE REASON for the ridiculous long lines and people -call 'em Dave's Devotees- who wisely wait for their glorious hamburger reward! Pro tip #1: Ask for the optional Pepperoncini peppers and squirt one of those bad boys on your burger!! Pro tip #3: Tip, literally and often, the smiling, hard at work magicians who work tirelessly in a kitchen the size of the snack bar of the Reseda Little League forty years ago! Here's rooting for the sustained booming success of Dave's Burgers!! I may live over forty miles from Long Beach but at least now I KNOW where I'll eat my lunches whenever I visit that particular specialist! Sheeeeeeeeeiiit. If the U.N. could get Vlad Putin and President Zelensky of Ukraine to break bread over a duo of Cubby Burgers, we'd have a peace agreement hammered out before the first satisfied belch!! read more

My coworkers wanted burgers, and we were trying to decide between In-N-Out and Five Guys when someone suggested Dave's. I've never tried Dave's, but multiple people started raving, so we chose Dave's for lunch. The only thing is that they don't take any orders ahead by phone or online. You have to go in, place your order and wait for the food to be done. Went here on a Friday. I went around 10:30am since our lunch is at 11am. There were 2 guys eating their burgers at the tables out front. 1 guy was placing his order when I got there. Seeing people eating there early in the morning made me know this was a good spot to try. I placed my order right after the guy, and luckily, it was easy getting everyone's orders in since some were specialty orders with omissions and substitutions and extras in their burgers. I went to grab the drinks in the cooler while they were preparing the fries and the burgers. There were a lot of different options for drinks. I think they probably get different sodas each time since the pictures I saw from Yelp didn't show all the same drinks. Would definitely recommend for the burgers. They were LARGE lol, and the fries were a perfect mix of crispy and not crispy. The ladies that work there were super nice and even helped me to the truck with the food orders. Satisfied the burger cravings we all had that day. (I did get the turkey burger with a beef patty because I'm trying to eat less red meat. It was delicious). read more
