    Okay so Hawthorne has Pepper's place. If you're ever passing through or in Hawthorne. This is a must try for lunch/earlier dinner. Locally owned and operated, I've grew fond of this business on my week spent in Hawthorne for work. They have the best/simple burgers and their cheesesteak is out of this world. Everything is made to order and I've savored every bite and calorie I've had here. My last night there; my coworker and I had the phillys! Service was great every visit and the food! I will make this a permanent destination passing by or when I'm nearby.

    Drinks: - N/A Food: - The Onion Rings & Fries were good. The onion to batter ratio was acceptable. I typically don't like onion rings that are all batter with a tiny transparent slice of onion. This place does it right. I'd prefer a little more onion but it's good as is - The E.T. Burger is a super solid pick. I really liked the double stacked patty and I was happy that the patties weren't dry. I think this burger is served with their in house "alien" sauce which sounded a little sus to me at first but I'm all for it now. It's a textbook execution of a double cheese burger with a twist. Ambience: - The bathroom behind the stand is very clean - There's a small covered area with seating outside - All the extraterrestrial related décor was fun to look at Overall: My partner and I randomly found this place during a road trip and I'm very glad we decided to stop here. Not only does the place have so much personality but the food is really good. I was not expecting to find this gem in the middle of nowhere. If I find myself traveling down south for a road trip again, I'd definitely consider taking the scenic route to stop by this place for another bite.

    Every time I'm in Hawthorne and can grab lunch I have made a mental note to stop by and grab lunch whether it's a sit down lunch or grab and go. I think this is one of the best crispy chicken sandwiches I've had, so this has been my go to the past three times of being in the area. It's fully packed and always got off the fryer. I also tried the peanut butter shake this time which was tasty. I loved the large Christmas inflatables which made me wonder what Halloween time looked liked. Thanks to my yelp checkin I even scored a free fountain drink. Definitely a great food spot!

    A food trailer hidden in Hawthorne. What a great find. I've been coming to the Hawthorne area for 12 years, and this is the first time I've been in town between 11:00 am and 2:30 pm to try the food. They have outdoor seating, some of which are covered. The restrooms were for customers only, but adequate. The food is cooked to order, so it's not fast, but it is good.

    Wow! Great food and great price! People were also very nice and got my order 100% correct

    Picked up dinner here last night. No indoor seating, the business appears to be housed in a recycled shipping container! Very extensive menu of burgers, sandwiches, Mexican dishes, etc. We opted for two burritos. Took about 20 minutes for our order to be prepared - they seemed to get busy just when we arrived. Anyway, not "fast" food, but they let you know that up front that everything is cooked to order. By Chile Verde burrito was excellent, lots of big chunks of pork and the verde sauce was super flavorful. Love to stop here for lunch as they have pleasant outdoor seating. I'll be back the next time I am in town!

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Burger Barn IS OFFICIALLY OPEN for the 2026 season!…read more Official first paying customer of the 2026 season, reporting in! Been eating here for years, and along with all other places in town, you just can't go wrong with this place, no matter what you order! This morning specifically, I got another meat lovers breakfast burrito. So big, easily enough for two people! But I would suggest buying one, and saving half to eat on later, because it's that good. I've ordered probably everything on the menu at one point in time or another. Everything is always great, and please keep in mind. EVERYTHING IS MADE FRESH TO ORDER, So during peak season, there's usually a line of people. So just be patient, because it will be worth the wait! The burgers are amongst the best along the 395! Julio is one of the cooks, and that boy knows his way around the kitchen! Cheryl is the owner, and is usually taking your order at the counter. She is one of the most wonderful women in all of Bridgeport! They have outdoor seating, and across the parking lot I believe there's still indoor seating, but I haven't been in there in years. Aside from great food, You're almost guaranteed to run into PCT hikers, campers, fisherman, etc, and most have interesting stories to tell! Thanks for the burrito guys! I'll stop back in and see ya next time I'm home! ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

It was spectacular. I had a feeling it was going to be so delicious that I would be disappointed if I only ordered the half sandwich. So I got the WHOLE! However, I'm not a big eater so I told them to put 2/3 wrapped to go and serve me 1/3 to eat now. I am stuffed. I will get two more meals off that sandwich which makes it a bargain. (:-) I suggested they offer all the sandwiches made on the garlic cheese bread. Positively A TASTE SENSATION! They said they are happy to do custom orders, so let YOUR taste buds run wild here and have it YOUR way! I'm sorry, I forgot the manager's name already, LoL! He is super nice. AND He appreciates his customers! You can feel it! I'm going to put this into my collections in Yelp. And I'm also going to add it to my contacts for pizza and sandwiches because I will stop again my next time through this area. The PIZZA looks awesome! If you find this review useful please VOTE!
