Wife and I had been wanting to try this place for a while when we pass it walking through old town Monrovia. We finally got a chance to stop in and tried their French toast plate and a bacon breakfast burrito. The person taking our order was very straightforward and made sure to get all the details of our order. We ordered at the walk up window but ate inside in their small dining area. Everything was made to order and was delicious. No frills, simple and good food. Will definitely be back.
Corner spot on the south end of downtown Monrovia. Lots of parking behind the restaurant and on the street. Love the look and feel of J B. This is the local joint every neighborhood would want: a place to hang out that's clean, organized, well-staffed and offers food that won't break your bank. Ordered the following: - Double cheeseburger - 7/10: Solid charbroiled burger. Nothing too fancy. Just your standard classic burger with all the fixings. Not too big, not too small. Patties are large and fit nicely into the buns. - Chili cheese fries - 7/10: Comes in two sizes - small and large. Small is perfect for one. Generous portions of cheese and chili. Another solid dish. If I'm in the area, will definitely come back as a good time was had by all!
We got a breakfast burrito here before our hike. Huge burrito with amazing salsa on the side. Great service and I loved sitting at the outdoor "bar".
Good food, great price, and friendly employees. JB Burgers offers breakfast, burgers, hot dogs, salads, sandwiches, and American and Mexican style meals. I tend to order the same thing to go. Order at the window or call ahead to place your order. Credit card accepted. FOOD ORDERED - Cheeseburger ($5.45). A wide and thin burger that tastes fresh and good without being greasy. I usually order everything on it except for onion, so it comes with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and housemade thousand island dressing. My fiance sometimes gets the regular cheeseburger and adds bacon for $2. The bacon is thick and crispy, but adds a lot of oil. - Breakfast Burrito with bacon ($10 + $2.5 avocado). A solid breakfast burrito option. The scrambled eggs were well done, and the large pieces of diced bacon were thick and crispy. However, the slabs of creamy russet potato, melted cheese, and soft tortilla made the overall texture a bit soft for my liking. The burrito was served with a tangy, herby green salsa that kind of tasted like tomatillo and Italian dressing. - Hard Shell Ground Beef Taco ($4.50). This had ground beef, cold cheese, lettuce, tomato, and raw onion. While the taco was tasty, it was excessively oily. After wrapping it up in napkins to drain for 5 minutes, it still doused my fingers in oil! - Carne Asada Taco ($5.50). It was alright. The taste was kind of like an American-Mexican taco. The portion was large, essentially two tacos in one. Beef, lettuce, and green salsa topped double corn tortillas. The carne asada was just okay, a little lacking in grill flavor. SIDES ORDERED - Chili Cheese Fries ($6.45 - small). This is my kryptonite. The savory chili tastes like a brown gravy with chunks of ground beef. The fries stay somewhat crispy under the generous topping of chili and shredded cheddar cheese. - Zucchini Fries ($6.45). It only comes in one size: a huge bag that serves at least 2 people. The breading adheres well to the tender zucchini spears, which have a wonderful vegetal flavor. It pairs well with their thick and creamy ranch. The only thing that could be better is maybe more herbs in the ranch. - Onion Rings ($6.45). I didn't enjoy these. The onion was bland and basically just tasted like the breadcrumb batter.
It's an honest little burger joint filled with the nostalgic feeling of small town America and days long past. Admittedly nothing really to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. The staff was pleasant to interact with. I'd definitely be happy to return here. Parking is not difficult to obtain in the area. There is a restroom present, but it's out in the back lot, and it appears you may need to ask for a key to use it.
Great neighborhood burger spot! I get my hair done at Agence Salon and eye this place every time I drive by. Finally stopped by and I'm so happy I did. I was trying to find something satisfying that wouldn't be too heavy. This was perfect. I ate half while heading to my next errand and the rest when I got home. It was delicious!! The grilled chicken was moist and flavorful. Loaded with bacon, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. The bread was toasted but not too hard... didn't cut the roof of my mouth. I'll definitely be back for a breakfast burrito in the near future.
I love onion rings and this place is top 3 on my list of best in LA. Always hot, crunchy, and never greasy. The burgers here are good, but when compared to other burger options in LA, I can only give this place a 4/5.
I think I found my new favorite local hamburger spot...JB Burger in downtown Monrovia. We ordered: - Fried Zucchini - Onion ring - Chicken club sandwich - Chili cheese fries - double cheeseburger Everything was really good, but I really really love their fried zucchini and their chili cheese fries is definitely one of the best around San Gabriel Valley area. I'm already craving it now that I'm writing the review. Will most likely be back next week for some more fried zucchini and chili cheese fries. Please make sure to check them out if you are near the Monrovia area. Friendly service, good prices, and you can go walk around old Town Monrovia.
J B Burger is located in Old Town Monrovia. Their slogan is "good and plenty at a reasonable price" and I concur that is indeed what I experienced. This was one of the best burger joints I've been to in the 626 area. They have a small price parking lot, but I opted for street parking. I went on a Saturday evening and there were many customers inside. You order from the inside or outside, and can find seating indoor. It's a narrow restaurant, but there are still a good amount of tables perfect for smaller parties. I got to try the cheese burger for $5.45 and the small chili cheese fries for $6.45. The food came out very quickly, so this is perfect for a quick meal. Additionally, the portions are what you'd expect for that price. I was blown away by the flavors. The burger is truly an American dinner cheese burger with the perfect amount of vegetables to patty and sauce. They did not skim on the chili sauce for the fries - every fry was sauced and cheesed. Overall, with the delicious taste and great prices, I'd definitely come back.
Visited this place after a morning bike ride with my buddy. Service was fast, the venue wasn't busy at all at 8 in the morning on a weekday, and the food was pretty cheap when the budget is tight! We got the regular breakfast platter, which wasn't anything to really rave about. The hash could be a little bit crispier as they were a little mushy when I got them, but the sourdough bread was toasted very nicely. Regardless it was decent food, at a good price!
The food was so good I did not have the time to post it I enjoy every second of this meal , The zucchini were delicious not oily or too fried my ranch dressing was perfectly balanced not too salty or out of date , The chicken tenders were cooked at a good temperature not too dried or burnt, My order was to Go I waited 10 minutes for my food . The restaurant is clean very welcoming the staff is friendly and knowledgeable of their customers . I kindly appreciate all the team the cook and the guy that took my order thanks guys You made my day , And for the awesome hospitality taking care of your customers thanks
I arrived for the 2025 Monrovia Car Show about 9:30 am. Before I looked at all the cars I was hungry and felt like try JB Burgers. I ordered their Mix Breakfast Burrito. It comes with ham, sausage, bacon, eggs, cheese and potatoes. I substituted beans instead of potatoes. After waiting about 10 minutes my order was called. I sat outside, because I had my dog Frankie with me. The burrito came with homemade salsa. Taking my first bit the flavors of the, good quality bacon, eggs and cheese were first to tickled my tastebuds. Their beans were awesome and the sausage and ham were equally delicious and for the great price for under $12 I just could not complain. Their salsa was good but it did not have too much heat. On my next visit I'll have to try one of their cheese burgers.

Takes credit. Has their own parking lot Seating inside and outside. Breakfast burrito- one meat- $10 Mix burrito- ham, bacon, sausage $11.50 Decent size burrito. Good balance of ingredients- hashbrown, egg meat. Could be bigger and packed with more meat. I think Arties burger has bigger. I like they don't add excess salt. So you can season yourself. Zucchini sticks $6.45- very good. Thick zucchini. Better than zucchini fries from Lucky Boys in Pasadena Onion rings $6.45 Chili cheese fries $6.45 read more

Very tasty and plentiful sandwiches. Steak was good sized . Grilled chicken was moist and too much for me to eat. I took 1/2 home and shared with the dog. Good plain tea, brewed. We came here because all regular places were closed. Love supporting locals, Thank you read more

Definitely not what locals are saying. 3 stars yes not 5 stars. Something cheap feeling going on here. Bacon is the worst around. Seriously a joke. Burger only food worth mentioning. Came here several times with locals from Monrovia. Every time it's a disappointment. Service usually consists of someone at counter arguing with someone or attitudes. Ambiance is what you would expect from small burger spot. Owners are cleaning up here financially and should invest in better ingredients or watch profits slide away. I would return only for a burger nothing else. read more

I’m so sorry your disappointed in our service. We are having a phone…
This is one of the last classic style burger stands left. Bacon Cheese Burger combo is the go to. Fries are always cooked to perfection and they may have the best 1000 island ever. Staff is busy but friendly. The vibe is nostalgic. Great stop if you want that classic taste. read more

Ever since mooyah closed, i've been looking for another burger spot to be a regular. I passed by this place many times and finally decided to try it out. I got a hamburger and fries. I regret not coming here earlier. This was the classic american burger and fries I was looking for. Thick cut crispy fries packed with potatoes inside. The hamburger buns were nicely toasted on both inner ends. The sauce + tomato + lettuce gave a nice refreshing crunchiness in contrast to the juicy meat patty. It felt light and not greasy at all. Overall, 11/10 hamburger and fries. They are even cheaper than fast food chains while being way tastier. I am now a regular. I've gone 3 times now while writing this review. On a side note, I really like the old school interior. It's not a diner style but feels very 90s to me. read more
Food is very good, service is quick and friendly, ambiance is a very casual burger joint/breakfast cafe type feel. The value here is 5-star. Definite stop when I'm in the area! The colossal burger has lots of pastrami and is bomb! Fries are great! read more

In a day and age with too many over priced burger joints, J B Burgers serves up quality food at classic prices. The vegetables on the burger were fresh and crispy while the patty was juicy. I think they also improved the quality of the fries recently. Service was quick and friendly and could easily find a table at lunch time. The classic feel of the joint is enhanced with the classic photos of the place on the walls. read more

JB Burgers is more of a burger stand than a restaurant. Located near the southern end of Old Towne Monrovia, it sits on a corner with very limited seating, about 3 or 4 tables inside. I've never actually went inside because there's an order window and another for pick up. Menus are posted on the wall and printed ones are displayed by the windows. JB serves casual foods, mostly burgers and sandwiches, with some other familiar items, so you'll not find anything exotic or fancy here. When I do come, I always get cheeseburgers, a pastrami sandwich and fries. It's not gourmet nor the best, but it's pretty good. The pastrami is piled high and there's enough meat to make another sandwich. The burgers are a decent size fills the craving. Prices are more than fair and in line with a fast casual joint like this. Service isn't outstanding from my own experience, as they're just here to take orders and call out your food, but it's not bad either. JB is a good spot when I crave that salty fatty pastrami, and pick up some burgers & fries for others. There should be street parking nearby, and always seem to have a line outside when it's around meal times. read more

I've never been disappointed going here the burgers are a great old school burger with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, grilled onions, pickles, and a house made 1000 island sauce. I love their fried zucchini and onion rings too. Both comes with a large ranch. The employees there are very nice and efficient when taking orders. There is usually a long night outside during the evening. I have not yet been here for breakfast but I heard great things about it. read more
