It's the second time for me trying this burger joint and it didn't disappoint. We got the family pack, the amount of fries they give is just toooo much. One of fries is probably enough for 2-3 people. The cheeseburgers are definitely something I will be back for! & they are huge! I usually get duck with half of one. Customer service is great. And there's always a huge line at the drive-thru! read more

Hate writing bad reviews but recently customer service is bad at the front and idk if its the owner, (wore a hat and looked rusty) but when it was busy he straight up told the cashier, who seemed frustrated, that "the people at the front don't matter and just get the food out." Half the time they don't acknowledge me and don't ever say "I'll be with you", but says it to other customers. Foods really good especially the burgers and fries but service sucks.... the new cashiers at the front not attentive but drive thru cashier has great customer service. read more

My sister and I stopped at Pete's to eat lunch my sister got the cheeseburger she said it was delicious burger and the fries were season well, I got the pastrami Sandwich let me tell you the pastrami had so much flavor they gave you so much meat that I only could eat half of it my fries were season very well. The service was amazing very polite and very helpful cashier. The Ambiance was very good it the only thing I wish it had music but everything else was amazing. I give pete's a 10/10 read more

I did order them both to go. The food was good but the fries are always over seasoned. At this point I think it's their signature. I've tried a few different items from their menu and every time I've gotten the fries they're overwhelmingly seasoned. I got into the habit of saying light seasoning now though. French toast was delicious. Main complaint I have, which wouldn't be able to be changed I think, is the drive thru. I was shouting my order and they still couldn't hear me. Had to repeat myself many times then have a different person take my order. I've eaten in the restaurant before and it's clean and nice. Their salad & chicken strips are good too. read more

Cashier is just rude and pretty unprofessional. The person that is the first one to greet customers is not a great welcoming. Plus the pictures on the menu is not what is given at all. Just a bad experience when my family wanted to bring me here saying the food is great. The food is good but just the experience made me have a bad taste over all! read more

Delicious and inexpensive the hamburger specials, and the cheeseburger specials are bomb

Great food!! Been around for the longest!! Getting a bit pricy but what else isn't. Bring some deals back!! read more

Had the sausage breakfast burrito. They put a whole sausage link in it. Needing more flavor. The salsa was okay as well

I wanted to try a different burger joint, my sister is always raving about this spot so I came to try it out, location is pretty beat down the prices are decent, the burger is your typical shredded lettuce burger the onion rings were pretty well breaded and they served a lot, the fries were decent as well. Honestly not a bad try. But I will just skip it and go to tams for a better burger Fries and price. Service was ok kinda rude on the intercom and the ambience I would say is lacking color read more

10/10 I come here pretty frequently for the large chili cheese fries with pastrami and it always hits the spot. Huge plate too definitely worth the price. The workers here are so nice and friendly! The drive through might confuse you but it works! The inside is clean and the have a tv for entertainment while you eat. Come and try the place it won't disappoint! read more

The food was great but the women who took our order was very rude and gave nasty faces to me and my boyfriend because we asked for a chocolate/strawberry milkshake. She then proceed to give us a strawberry shake so we had let her know we didn't want to shake because if we would've known that there wasn't any chocolate, we wouldn't have ordered the shake so if she could please return it, exchange it, or give us a refund. I had also ordered the zucchini sticks cause I was craving zucchini fries and to me. They were very blind and not properly fried with something being burnt and you can definitely tell they were frozen. So we also asked to return that. Then she proceed to give us a lot more attitude. The food was actually pretty good. I got chili cheese, rice with grilled onion on the side and my boyfriend got a cheeseburger and some fries. Otherwise the ambience was pretty nice. And I love the old SCHOOL decorations, but that worker was very rude, and then proceeded to speak in Spanish to the cooks talking crap but I understood Spanish, so I knew everything she was saying. It was an older women with brown/blond hair. read more

Best burgers and best value. Only complaint is the passenger side drive thru. I'd rarher walk in than stretch over. Small price to pay for delicious food!! read more

Tried this local spot and it's definitely my local place for a quick burger fix. They give plenty of fries but, like other yelpers commented, it's slightly over seasoned. Haven't tried other stuff yet, but will keep updates. Service is quick but can take a minute if it's rush hour since all food is made to order. read more

this is the most amazing thing ive ever had. 10/10 would recommend. The waiters and people who work there are so nice. The food is phenomonal and will forever be my favorate #lovepetes read more

The food is amazing and cashiers always positive attitude. What i don't like and see unprofessional and find humiliating is the way the owners tell things and treat the workers in front of customers instead of waiting and telling them aside what the mistake/problem was. The owners need more manners/professionalism. I don't know if i would want to support a business that mistreats their workers. They also need to update the prices on their menu. Has one price shown and when paying is almost double the price. Owners need to get it together. read more

Uh not the best, I ordered a chicken tenders and fries. When ever you order fries they give alot when I say alot I mean alot! That's good I guess. I also ordered a grilled cheese, they didn't even melt the cheese! I mean u order a grilled cheese but the cheese isn't even melted. Overall it's okay I wouldn't come back. read more

Been coming here for more than 20 years. Breakfast Burritos are good. Chili Fries and carne asada tacos. Fast service.

They seem to have an issue with giving the order once it's made multiple times they seem to skip customers or make u wait for your food horrible service and burgers and fries are soggy due to having my order just sitting there till I ask for a refund they have it there never again place is trash even with Pete at the location they seem to not to care read more

Pete's Burger - Hamburger Special - Burgers Near Me - South Gate, California

Not wheelchair accessible. Discrimination. I used to go there but now since I'm wheelchair bound it's been a while since they won't serve me. read more

Pete's has been our go-to for a burger since we moved to the neighborhood. The Avocado Bacon Cheeseburger is fire. Burgers are huge, the pastrami is even bigger. I love the fries here, always seasoned well and a little crispy and like half a bag for one order haha. Tried their Wild Fries once, not a fan. Too much onion not enough dressing or whatever the house sauce they use. Not a fan of the 1,000 Item Menus, always stick with the burger. Its a small place, not huge on providing the best service but not complaining, just there for the food not their customer service. read more

Great little burger place. I get the junior burger meal and it's plenty. They load you down with fries be warned. Most of the time the fries are good but once in a great while they're amazing good. Last time I went on a Saturday and it was the best fries I have ever had in my life! If they consistently made them like that I'm pretty sure they would have a line longer than in n out lol. read more

I order a taco chicken salad was the worse taco salad I ever had. It was just salad chicken no beans the taco shell is horrible. This is so bad it making my stomach turn and I am getting groused out. Had to throw this away. read more

I gave this place another try hoping it might be better than the last time. Same thing cashier was rude overcharged a pastrami combo 20 plus a pastrami by itself 18 dollars how does that make sense with out fries and a drink I asked for it well done again and extra 3 bucks they just steam it 1 thousand island for almost 2 bucks I walked away after my husband paid there's a dollar 50 fee for debit . Then they laughed the 2 rude dirty looking cooks . Will never go back to that place. Rude soggy bread salty burnt fries. read more

Pete's Burger - Sign of a good burger stand - Burgers Near Me - South Gate, California

Been coming to this restaurant for many years. I have noticed a decline in food quality. Aside from price increase. Do not recommend.

My husband was taking me on a trip down memory lane, visiting many places he went to as a child. This Place was a frequently visited place and I see why. The Burgers are big and juicy! The fries are perfectly crispy and we came in at a great time because we were the only two people there. The staff was friendly as well. I'm not too sure on how rough the surrounding area is but they did have signs in the parking lot stating they weren't responsible for vandalized or stolen belongings. read more

The grilled chicken sandwiches were delicious. They gave us so many French fries 5 people couldn't have eaten them all. Everything was great! read more

I wouldn't even give this review ONE star... Was going to stop here tonight to get a quick bite to eat before going home, but was on a call when I arrived at the restaurant and sat in my car for a few minutes to take the call.... Well, I'm glad I did... because I witnessed the cook (a young guy) walk into the outdoor bathroom WITH HIS GLOVES ON & CAME OUT WITH THEM STILL ON!! THAT'S DISGUSTING!!! && he was in there for a minuteeee too. I've been coming to this location since I was a kid, but after seeing that this evening, i was extremely grossed out and immediately left. I lost my appetite after that. Pete's, you guys really need to learn some proper hygiene. You instantly just lost a lifelong customer. read more

I've been eating at Pete's for years love the pastrami sandwiches service is excellent

It's your typical hamburger stand nothing stellar to write about . The combos are a great value and it's filling they're not stingy on the fries either which is a great thing. read more

Made a drive here from Torrance area as we have not been here for a long while due to COVID restrictions. Was looking forward to enjoy this visit to Pete's, but unfortunately, one of their employees had issues going on. As I started to place my order, I asked for easy mayo, extra pickles, requests that are often made by customers. She seemed agitated and extremely bothered by my requests that she raised her voice, made angry facial expressions, and started schooling me in what type of water I wanted when I asked for a simple cup of water. She entered an order for a special or combo meal which I clearly ordered a la carte. When I notified her of her error, wowww...she gave me an evil-dirty look that one does not even see on the streets! My burger came out missing lettuce and tomatoes, with lots of mayo- opposite of what I ordered. Funny thing is the cook heard my order, and could have overridden her mistakes. Negativity seems to spread. Either way, with many options, and better service offered at other establishments, it's going to be a long time before we visit Pete's again! Last note, I don't usually leave negative reviews, but when it's a bad experience, I will voice out. I believe management or owners need to be made aware if there is a pattern of no goodness that effects clientele as well as them. read more
