Carne Asada Taco to go
Alice Y.

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.

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.

Burger and fries. It got the job done, no complaints!
Dan L.

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.

Chicken Club on Rye (already ate 1/2)

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.

Double Cheese Hamburger
Ann C.

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.

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!

Cheese burger and chili fries (small)
Lilian W.

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.

2025 Monrovia Car Show. This great looking truck was parked in front of JB Burgers.
Mark G.

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.

Dave F.

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.

David K.

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.

Brandon S.

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.

I chose spicy for our cauliflower bites, and not gonna lie--the heat made my nose run! lol which meant it was pretty awesome! My kids had the sliders and I've got to say, it's giving some of my favorite chicken fast food joints a run for their money as far as tenderness and flavor! I enjoyed the cheese fries as well along with a nice helping of pickles. Very yummy with spicy food. The service was fast and friendly and we enjoyed our meal as we ate it in the dining room. The ambiance was a cool 80s music vibe and honestly I'm into it! I definitely recommend Dave's and I'm happy to say, spicy or not, I'll be back for seconds!

We've brought burgers home only to find that the buns were burned, the beef patties have been close to charred, wrong orders other times food up to in n out standards. There's been times when we've dined in and there's no one wiping tables so we've had to ask someone to do it, other times there's been a designated person doing all this. The bathrooms sometimes clean sometimes not. and it's not due to the time of day cus we've been here during rush hour, light hours drive thru and dine in.... Not sure that I have seen same employees there, seems there's often new faces. HOWEVER, one thing that we thought was being maintained was the customer service but that changed instantly with last nights visit. The register young man, Dylan was quite something. He was not welcoming whatsoever- it was like he was upset we came in. When ordering his face was stone cold, no manners, tone of voice was rude. We were being naturally courteous but he was not returning the manners. He had a condescending tone & expressionless face. Not sure of his age, but it honestly reminded me of a teenager whose parents had reprimanded him and now he had an attitude. It's like cmon you're at the register face to face with people. it's an interaction of a few minutes with each paying customer If you can't deal with the volume of people interaction, that's not the place for you. Anyway, one of the young ladies wiping tables over heard my husband and I discussing the experience and she approached us and asked me what's going on. I explained it to her and she apologized on his behalf and said she'd bring the manger over to talk to us. Couple of minutes went by and she came back and said I told the supervisor and they will have a talk with him. I could be wrong but there was no obvious supervisor there (or at least one that took the complaint seriously) at nearly 10pm. Within 5 mins that same young lady, the register young man and another young man that was wiping tables, were exchanging laughs, not sure about that. We didn't ask for the manager nor did we need to see the manager because we weren't looking to get anything. But anyway, yea this in n out is mid, like rest. Hit or miss.

The renderings of marijuana on this particular shrine attest to his current meaning in society. So, I assume this restaurant somehow supports drugs and thus I can never return. You can decide on your own where you want to spend your money.
