food and service always A-1 Same taste since when they were located in Los Angeles .

Addy the owner was super friendly and welcoming. I decided to check this place out to try out their chili cheese fries and burger. The prices are reasonable and the food is fantastic! Give them a try if you're in town and the customers are loyal! read more

Bomb Bomb Bomb very good food a diamond in the rough for sure. We are so glad we tried this place. We will definitely be adding this to one of our favorite places. read more

Service was great. Place looks pretty clean. Cheeseburger was delicious, especially with the spicy relish. However, they need to do much better with the fries. This was my first time there, and I can tell they were sitting for a while. Fries were soggy and drenched in oil. Definitely not freshly made. I will try them again and hope this was a one time occurrence. read more

Mama’s Snack Shack - Burgers Near Me - Compton, California

I have known this lady for at least 20 years! We go back to her being on central at the original snack shack location. It's a super small and quaint place. Just like the original shack. Only thing missing is the black history posters (iykyk). While the burgers have changed from the original location that hot relish is the closest thing to the original location. If you are in the Compton area definitely try this south central staple. Support small businesses they definitely need your help in these trying times. read more

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. read more

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! :) read more

Great service, great food, great prices! this place is a treasure. Do yourself a favor and get the chili fries.

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! read more

Mama’s Snack Shack - Double cheeseburger with pastrami - Burgers Near Me - Compton, California

I work nearby so after finding Mama's through a few searches and learning about her business and the way she treats her customers, I knew I had to try the food. This place is probably one of the more unassuming places to grab a delicious burger in all of LA, not just Compton. Mama couldn't have been more kind in person, I ordered the Hot Link Burger only, and when I went to pick up my order she also said she gave me an order of fries to "try." Well, not only did I try them, but they slapppped. While I was waiting for my food she was greeting customers and making conversation. The food was hot and made fresh to order and was really delicious. Mama inspired me, especially in this hard time for all of Los Angeles, in a time where restuarants are closing, she's giving away food for her babies to try. Generosity in spirit and in practice are a beautiful thing to witness. I'm excited to try all the other food that she has on her simple, but filling menu! Thank you mama! read more

Her food is really good and reasonable prices....Once you try it, you will surely be going back.

The food was good. The service was good and the prices were decent but remember you get what you paid for.

Nice gem in our neighborhood. Turkey burgers are awesome. The fries can be improved. Fries are soggy and need more salt. Other than that, place is very good. read more

Mama's Snack Shack was delicious. I had the double turkey cheeseburger combo. Everything was fresh and my turkey burger was very juicy and the fries are homemade. Mama, thanks for welcoming me to your establishment. I am glad that I drove to try the food. It is very hard to find a place that sells good turkey burgers. I am happy I found your place. Thanks for treating me like I was part of your family. I will see you again soon. I will continue to support Mama because the food is delicious and the customer service is excellent. read more

Mama's snack shack is such a lovely place. Mama herself is very sweet lady and the food was absolutely delicious.

Really great burgers! I got the double chili cheese burger with pastrami and hotlinks last time and it was literally the size of my head! Never seen a burger that big! The staff there is also super sweet and friendly. You can tell they care about their customers. One thing to keep in mind though is the wait times. This is a small mom and pop shop so be patient for your order. read more

First time there and reviews are on point about "Mama" she was sweet. I ordered a Turkey Burger with the fixings and added an over hard egg. Burger was seasoned well, moist and everything tasted fresh. The hot relish was a hit. I normally travel to Carson when I want a good Turkey Burger but I now have a new place. Glad you here in the CPT Mama. read more
