    Double Pastrami Burger
    LeAndre A.

    I tried this place yesterday after seeing it on Yelp. I placed a phone order. Customer service was extremely good, and Mama was very helpful with helping me make a decision. I got the double pastrami burger (I should have gotten a single) and chili cheese fries on the side. The presentation of the food was really good, but the burger patty seemed a little dry and needed more seasoning. The pastrami was really good, not greasy, and the fries from the chili cheese fries needed a little more crunch; the fries seemed really soggy. Besides that, the food was pretty decent. I recommend you give it a try for yourself.

    I Had the pleasure of being able to have a snack shack burger back when they were in LA before they closed and it was delicious! I recently visited the location in Compton cause it popped on my tik tok and I was thrilled to try it again! I end up going a few days later and let me tell you it did not disappoint! The burger was really good and well seasoned! I got a small chili cheese fries and pastrami added to my cheese burger and easy relish because it is spicy. I ordered to go and there were a few people ahead of me and it took about 20-25 mins. I just sat in the car and waited. Side note: parking is minimal but if you go in the afternoon you might be able to park on the same side as the restaurant if you don't mind parallel parking. I didn't mind waiting because the little Hispanic lady who runs the joint is so sweet! Now, it is take out only but who cares lol! I took my burger home and plated it up and it devoured it. It was soooo good! lol I went back a week later and ordered it again! :)

    Got a double cheeseburger special it was the driest burger I ever had. I cldnt even eat it, it was so dry try using 80/20 meat for making juicy burgers waste of $15.00

    Mama's Snack Shack is an absolute gem! Mama herself is so sweet and you can truly feel how much love and care she puts into her food and her customers. They accidentally made a mistake on my burger and without hesitation, she had a fresh one made right away -- no attitude, just genuine kindness and pride in her service. The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious -- from the juicy burger to the loaded chili cheese fries. And bonus: FREE parking!! I wish I could take Mama's Snack Shack with me back to the East Coast because I would be a regular. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by -- you won't regret it!

    Was here a few weeks and my burger was a little overcooked, but on my return visit today, they made it right! The bacon cheese burger and chili cheese fries were on point! Great customer service! Thanks again!

    Found this spot on Yelp this past Saturday, 05-23-26. Was headed home from the barbershop but I…read morehadn't eaten all day and I began looking for the nearest happy hour spot. Couldn't believe what I saw on both Yelp and Apple Maps, 4.8 stars and over 100+ reviews and this spot is in Compton, my city. Didn't even know a spot like this existed. Busted a u-turn going down Alondra so I could go back to Atlantic then make that right and slide to Compton Blvd and make that left. A few streets from there on your right side you'll find boulevard gastropub. Sitting next door to some other business which is right next to a big parking lot which is free by the way. I've parked in this lot at least a couple of times just to go to that taco truck and never noticed gastropub. Immediately when I walked in it was good vibes and the sense of a good atmosphere. I was greeted by the owner and a young lady who was the bartender. The owner is real cool. We had a short conversation I shared with him how I discovered his business and informed him I do reviews as well as post some content on my social media platforms in hopes of businesses receiving more attention and customers. Unfortunately, due to them not having an alcohol or liquor license, some of their drinks such as the cocktails are more so wine based drinks. So please don't come here expecting to get some Don Julio or Hennessy. Ain't gone happen lol. I had a Classic Mojito and enjoyed it. The price was $10 which I found exceptional. The food was delicious. I recommend the Blvd Burger as a go to if you can't decide on anything else. I loved it so much I had to make a video. And definitely try the Voodoo Wings. You won't be disappointed. Just imagine buffalo wings with lemon pepper seasoning. Cuz that's what it is and they're fire. No bs with the ranch dressing too. I'm definitely returning for another visit. I can see this being a new frequent spot to pull up to and hang out. I love the ambiance, my drink, the food here and the customer service. All things to be considered when going out and spending money. What I spent was definitely worth the first time experience.

Waited another 10min, while I saw other people picking up orders, so I checked in again. Same response, not ready yet. Another 10min passed by, now I'm seeeing people who came after me get their orders before me. Asked the staff again for my order status. The order pick up window person shouted my name to the kitchen each time I checked in. Finally the 3rd time they responded, they start arguing, apparently my order was done a long time ago, and it was given to someone else. It took 30min to figure out that my order had already been done and given to someone else because there was no communication between the kitchen, order staff or pick up staff. no apology, just got my food after the argument 3minutes later...Food was average, definitely not worth a 30min wait.

It's been a while since I had went to Louis Burgers and the reason for my…read morerecent visit was because too many ppl been telling me they have the best chili cheese fries. So I had to see for myself. Of course it was a long line in the drive thru when I got there lol. Don't know what the vibe was like on the inside of the restaurant. It's best to pull in off of Rosecrans being that it's more convenient to swoop in the drive thru lane. It probably took 15 mins though to order and then receive my food at the window. The service was quicker than I anticipated. I ordered the chili cheese pastrami fries. Fire !!! Out of all of the spots I've been getting chili cheese fries or any pastrami, theirs so far is the best. Still had some left over the next day. Fries were cold. Didn't wanna warm it up in the microwave. So I just finished the rest off being room temperature. Still was good.

    I've come to the conclusion that all hood burger spots are basically the same. Everyone claims…read moretheir hood spot has the best chili cheese fries, or the best burgers, but in reality once you've been to these places, they are all basically the same places with different names. I've heard for years how Louis burger was THEE place for Pastrami Chili Cheese fries. Guess what, they taste just like the Pastrami Chili Cheese fries from my hood joint J.B. Burgers. The food was good, it just wasnt stand out. What stood out was the fucking horrible attitude from the drive thru lady. Other than that, it just MEH.
