BEST DAMN TERIYAKI BURGER EVER. BEST DAMN TERITAKI BURGER EVER. BEST DAMN TERIYAKI BURGER EVER. I can go on and on and on and this will never change. I've been coming here since I was a boy. Humble stand that has operated the same way it has since I was a kid. I'm glad none of that has changed. Although we live some ways away, we never mind driving back into town for a quick fix. God Bless Pitburger!!! read more

Driving down Normandie Avenue, you can smell the Teriyaki BBQ with your windows up. My family and friends have been enjoying this Terikyaki spot with me for years now and we are never disappointed. We always get their chili cheese fries along with their beef combination plate which comes with a small cabbage salad with their thousand island dressing, buttered bread and their sweet teriyaki beef over 2 scoops of hot rice. By far one of my favorite local Gardena hole in the walls. 100% recommend trying this spot! read more

What can I say?? Hands down still the best place for a teriburger!! Been coming here since I was a kid and while in Gardena OF COURSE I had to swing on by and grab some yummy grub!! My burger tasted exactly as I remembered it and Mini-Me said the same thing and that made me so happy hear. Pitburger- thank you for keeping things the same!! you have a loyal following, don't change a thing. read more

Love this place! I go for the beef teriyaki but the other menu items are yummy too. Pit Burger all the way, would recommend. read more

Wow I feel like this was such a bad joke. How did it get so many good stars? We were in vacation in California. It was national cheese burger day so I decided to Yelp burgers, this place came up. When we first walked into the restaurant we felt uncomfortable because it is filthy and the tables are old video games consoles. There is one rubbish can and is full of graffiti, bad graffiti too. The amount of time we waited for the food was average and they only accept cash. The food itself was meh, definetely not a tourist vibe or something one wants to eat while on vacation. I had the teriyaky burger because people said it was the best, well nop while it was not horrible I would have rather keep the teriyaky off the bun. My daughter had a cheese burger plain, she said she did not like it because it was flat and burnt. My mom had a regular cheese burger she did not hate it but she did not like it. Overall it is a bad place and do not recommend it. read more

I was lucky enough to pass by Pitburger and think, hm, that place looks like it could have good food. There's nothing to say about the establishment beyond its food. I called ahead and asked for a single teriyaki beef burger, picked it up at the window. It was so juicy and the meat was flaky. Having missed Carls Jrs teriyaki burger, I came here expecting a replica but it was so much more than I could've imagined. The patty isn't ground beef, it's slices of beef, coated in a perfectly balanced teriyaki sauce (strong charcoal flavor, not too sweet or salty). And the bun is soft toasted brioche that compliments the sweetness of the teriyaki. The burger doesn't have much else on it but you really don't need a lot more since the meat and sauce are flavorful. There's a bit of mayo and I think it mixes so well with the teriyaki sauce. I miss this burger so much and I've only had it once. read more

All I have to say is terrible terrible terrible meat is chewy and real fatty. I've been a long time Customer since I was a kid... i haven't been here for a long time. It has gone downhill. I don't know what all these other people are talking about. Maybe they like chewing bubblegum beef, but I don't. But the sauce is still good. I'm only gonna come here and buy the sauce and I'm gonna go buy teriyaki somewhere else and put your sauce on my beef bowl that has more tender and less fatty beef actually no fat on the beef, so you guys better get it together And start changing the quality of your beef and cook it longer and make it more tender and less fat, every bite was filled with fat and chewy beef. I couldn't even finish it. I barely ate any of it. I just tried to eat just the rice with the sauce but the beef I just threw it away. What a waste of money I shall not be buying your food anymore just the sauce.thanks for the fatty chewy beef read more

Poor quality food. Too expensive. Small portions. Go to rascals if you want a teriyaki burger.

I been going here for years best teriyaki chicken bowls you can find. The chicken teriyaki burger is really good as well. I try to eat here as often as I could the food is super fresh and they give you great portions. The one tip I can give you if you are picking up food order ahead they always have people waiting for food. Even when I order ahead sometimes I have to wait 2 mins for my food but it is worth it. read more

Burgers are delicious and the fires are awesome. Visit whenever I go to Los Angeles It's a diamond in the rough read more

Call and order ahead cause they seem to get busy. It's Cash only! The burger and chili fries were really good! The teriyaki plate was also very good. The buttered bread that comes with the plate is addicting, lol. I should have gotten teriyaki sauce on the side because I like my chicken with a little more sauce. Service was excellent but no seating is available. read more

It's been there a long time. Pretty good food at reasonable prices. I used to go there when I was a kid, so there is some nostalgia connected with it. read more

Pretty damn good! Single teriyaki burger. Ok I see you. That's what's up then! It's quite possible I will holler at a further date to continue our dynamic! read more

Always consistent and delicious!! I love the teriyaki pit burger! And I always get the combo plate with beef and chicken. Huge portion! The side salad that comes with it is good too. And don't forget to ask for a side of the yellow peppers.. yum! Make sure to call ahead cuz the orders can take a while. Cash only. read more

Consistent teriyaki, plus to ask for xtra teriyaki sauce. Been going for many years , they still serve orange bang , definitely like taking a trip back in time for me. read more

the best charbroiled burgers ever! It hits more with some orange and piña colada bang with the fam!

If you like teriyaki sandwiches this place has no equal. The terry burgers are my favorite. They are made with thin slices of grilled streak, lettuce and mayo. Super bomb. read more

Been coming here since I was a child and lived down the street. This place has been the same since those days 30+ years ago. Best Teri burger ever! Get one and try it. I usually grab a double Teri burger and a single Teri rice with extra pickles. Cause I always want more later and the Teri rice hits the spot! This is a local fav. And if your from Gardena it doesn't matter if you move across the country when you come back you come here first! read more

Best teriyaki Always our go to when we go to gardena. Just dont forget to bring cash. Since its cash only!

A quick cheap and filling lunch for about $4. I ordered a teriyaki chicken bowl with no price and substituted tomato instead. It was pretty tasty considering the small amount of money that it cost. Chicken actually was good with the tomatoes. I would probably stop by here again for the exact same order because it's also healthy. With all the great reviews, I think you need to order the teriburger. Overall, AOK. read more

Pitburger - Chicken and tomatoes. 3 bucks. - Burgers Near Me - Gardena, California

Yummy stuff! We got the combo plate, a teriburger,cheeseburger and fries! The teriburger we could've skipped cuz the same meat was in our combo plate which was MASSIVE! I LOVED the teriyaki chicken, it was delish but the beef I didn't care for.. The teriyaki sauce is drinkable #gaf!! Cheeseburger was just reg.. Next time only teriyaki chicken bowls all around! Will definitely be back! Looks like a wreck on the dine in area tho! They really need to get that area together, its quite unappealing- just order your food to go! Ooh and cash only! read more

A family favorite and South Bay cornerstone. The unassuming spot conceals amazing teriyaki. Call ahead, it is made to order so walking up and ordering will require patience. Get the combo plate, the fried bun is addicting. read more

Pitburger didn't let us down this time! Much better than last visit! Portions, quality of meat & flavor all were excellent. Employees were courteous & helpful. We noticed they had fried fish on the menu. Decided to try it. That was not a good call. Not good. But still giving five stars for the teriyaki beef & chicken! read more

2.75 stars. A lot of the people who have given this place 4-5 stars grew up in the area coming to this place so it's nostalgia. I got it. There's a lot of places where I grew up I love like McDonald's. I loved McD's when I was a kid but does this mean I should give McD's 4 star ratings? Pitburger is ok. Not amazing by any stretch of the imagination. I ordered the teriyaki burger, some onion rings and an Orange Bang. It's all just ok. Seriously. How people compare the teriyaki at all to anything else tells me they've never been to a real Japanese restaurant. And this isn't anything close to that. It' a real hole-in-the-wall but it's got an A rating from the city! Check out my pic, so that's impressive. What I didn't like was the after taste that was left in my mouth driving home. Was really bad. Think I would have given this place a 3 if it wasn't for that after taste and this is a 3 that I wouldn't go back to. Onion rings btw weren't all that either. read more

Pitburger - A rating! - Burgers Near Me - Gardena, California

Cash Only! Make sure you withdraw before coming. But this place is a gem. Best beef teriyaki in town, hands down.

Childhood memories from the 70's take me back here and keep me coming back, as nothing about the food has changed to this day. When ordering a teri plate, its served up visually exactly as had been since I was attending Gardena High School in the 70's. Thanks Pitburger for not changing a thing! WARNING: Its a cash only business, so keep that in mind. read more

Love this place! I LOVE their chili cheese fries! The fries are really skinny instead of the typical huge Greek diner fries, and their fries taste exactly like weinerschnitzel's fries! I can't eat Weinerschnitzel's fries since they use pork in their recipe, but now I have a pork free option ;) whoo hoo! They also have orange bang and horchata! ;) read more

CASH ONLY! Never been here. Only a few blocks away from home. It's been standing on this spot for quite some time now. So... I went to go check it out! Got here about 430-ish in the afternoon and... THERE WAS A LINE?! There were also a few people waiting for their order. There was a couple ahead of me that ordered about $60 worth of food. (That good, eh?! Okay...) So, as you can imagine - they were absolutely busy! Took about 5 minutes to finally get to the front of the line. Ordered a double burger with everything in it. I asked if they grill their onions - unfortunately, they didn't. No biggie. Got my order a little over five minutes later. Got home less than five minutes after and CHUMPED on that thing. (It was pretty big.) Good flavor, patties were seasoned just right. It was bigger than I expected. Not bad for grub under $5. It's a hole in-a-wall, for sure. They keep a very simple menu. It doesn't look like a place you want to sit down and eat at (although I shouldn't judge since I didn't even take a peek at their teenee dining area.) They do have a number of parking spaces, so that's always a YAY. They're supposedly known for the teriyaki bowls. I'm not a fan of teriyaki anything, but I might just try it if the mood ever hits. read more

I decided to try several different teriyaki places in LA and Orange county area for the 2018 EatCheapwithPete Teriyaki Challenge. I got the chicken and beef combo. It was $10.50 and very over priced for the amount of protein in this plate. I wanted to try both proteins the chicken and the beef. The better value is to get 2 small plate one of chicken and one of beef. It was my first time here and from what I can gather from the other pictures on line the better deal is the chicken bowl. The chicken was charred which gave the outside a little crispyness. The beef was plain. The small chicken plate is $3.70 The medium chicken plate is $6.95 The large Chicken plate is $10.50 The large beef plate is $9.55 The combo plate is $10.50 As is demonstrated above, the better deal is the chicken bowl or the medium chicken plate. read more

Tried the beef teriyaki bowl. I liked it and enjoyed it. Meat is not tender but it's expected because of the price but flavor is good. Good portion too. read more

Big tasty portion at a great price. I love that Smokey flavor on their teriyaki plate. I can't wait to go back. Way better that Rascals in Gardena. Pitburger is now my new go to for teriyaki. read more

I was on my way to another Yelp spot for lunch and drove by Pitburger and I saw the line/crowd...then immediately smelled the smokey char and teriyaki sauce in my car...called an audible and pulled in. This place is great...i got the beef plate and it reminded me of a HI mix plate lunch...good char on the beef...good on the sauce...and really good on the portion. Only complaint is the rice was a little mushy. This place is off the beaten path meaning all those people I saw out front drive out of their way to get food from here...I was just lucky enough to pass by it...If you are in this area, you'll see the crowd/line so just pull in and check it out...you'll be happy you did. read more

Only giving 4 stars because it is really pricey. My bf and I got two combo plates that came out to $28. It's good food but a bit over priced. read more

It was alright! Nothing spectacular or even great! I got the chicken teriyaki plate. Chicken was a little burned. Came with a dinner roll which was a half of a hamburger bun. Cash only! Kind of pricey. No out side seating. Hard pass for me. I would keep driving! read more

The food is reasonably priced and DELICIOUS. Suggest calling your order in so you won't have to wait so long.
