Soggy, oily fries

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.

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.

Pastrami cheese burger and chili cheese fries!

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! :)

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.

At first glance, it looked like parking was limited to the street, but after calling, I found out…read morethere is a parking lot on the corner, which made things much easier. The restaurant itself is small but mighty, with a cozy feel and a menu that delivers. Everything is made to order, and they offer a rotating selection of local craft beers, which is a nice touch if you like trying something new. We ordered the spicy Korean wings, and thankfully they were not overly spicy, making them easy to enjoy. The real standout, though, was the Blvd burger. It was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their burgers. Overall, the prices were better than most places, especially considering the quality. Definitely worth a visit.

This place is a Los Angeles legend…read more It's not even about giving it five stars--it's about telling people that if you want to try one of the best burgers in Los Angeles, this is a spot you absolutely need to visit. The food is outstanding, the portions are generous, and the burgers live up to the hype. What makes it even better is that you're not just getting a great meal; you're experiencing a piece of Los Angeles history. Places like this are becoming rare, and Hawkins House of Burgers has earned its legendary status. If you're a local and haven't been here yet, you're missing out. And if you're visiting Los Angeles, put this place on your list.

This is a cafeteria-style spot with a walk-up window for to-go orders, and it is POPULAR. When we…read morepulled up, the line was so long there was nowhere to park, so we double parked while we figured it out. We ended up ordering online for pickup, which seemed about the same as waiting in line. Either way, plan on a solid 40 minutes. The wait is the main downside. There's nowhere to sit or stand while you wait, and there were a lot of flies around. But the food? Solid. And the prices honestly can't be beat. Best of all, they have a vegan option, so this vegan was very happy. **Tip:** order online ahead of time, and give yourself extra time to find parking.
