Rod's Char-broiler - Bacon Avocado Cheese Burger - Burgers Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Just another classic char-broiled burger ordered. Fresh, crisp lettuce and a juicy tomatoe. French fries were crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. Service was patient, friendly and helpful. They were knowledgeable about their menu and were able to answer our question. read more

I was really excited to try their chili dogs. I mean this nicely, but it just wasn't that good for me. It looks great at first. Nice colors, solid ingredients. But once we ate it, it didn't quite come together. Please don't toast the bun for a chili dog. A softer bun would make a big difference. My boyfriend found this place and I did pickup. We're both chili dog fans and agreed the components were fine on their own. The dog itself was good quality, and the chili and onions were decent. It just lacked balance and that classic chili dog vibe. I'd say ease up on toasting the bun and don't be shy with seasoning to tie everything together. It has potential, just needs some adjustments. Honestly, I was disgruntled enough that I immediately ordered Wienerschnitzel afterward just to satisfy the craving properly. read more

Ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon and the Asada fries. The Breakfast burrito was good and the salsa on the side made it even more tasty.. The asada fries however, looked like they used leftover meat and topped it on fries. What got me was the cheese was under the meat. Never seen fries like that before. No, pico de gallo or anything. It was still "ok" but seemed like something my 10year old would've made at home. The did provide sour crème and guacamole on the side. Haven't tried the burgers here which I'm sure they're more known for but i'd definitely skip the asada fries next time. Be advised, they have the option to add tip before food comes out even if you're opting for to-go instead of dining in. Be ready for that awkward moment when you select no tip. read more

New owner, new remodel, same name Rod's. It's been a while since I been here. Came here in the 1970's as a teen. The pancakes today were perfect, but that could be because the batter was freshly made. The key is making the batter right before you make the pancake. If they keep making pancakes like this, they will be better than the typical diner that has a pre-made bucket of batter that results in over-mixed batter and rubbery pancakes. read more

Terrible charbroiled burgers. My bread was over toasted. And expensive at that. I grew up eating here Saturday afternoons and the menu has changed after all these years. It's simpler and basic. How is a combo almost 20 dollars but the burger is tiny! Looks like a Jr. And they package everything in separate boxes for the "aesthetic" I assume. Chilli cheese fries barely had any chili. The lady that took the order was kind, I have no complaints on the service. Save yourself the trouble and visit Tom's, Lucky star or even Pigg read more

A neighborhood Char-broiler spot that looks consistent and clean. Tasty burgers, seasoned fries (places like this sometimes don't) and the teriyaki sandwich was passable. Will likely spot by again if craving this specific burger craving! Parking was easy and seating outside and inside. read more

My niece is in town and wanted to visit one of her childhood haunts. She was a bit disappointed that the original owner and long-term staff are no longer there but it's been years so it's to be expected. She missed the Greek influence in their food selection but ordered a pastrami sandwich and zucchini fries for us to share. Both were good but a bit on the greasy side. The ranch dressing that came with the zucchini fries was rich, creamy and tasty. Rod's offers comfort food directed at the younger generation (due to grease level ;) ) read more

Mid tier at best. Nothing memorial. Very expensive. 2 combos was almost 50 bucks. Their chocolate chip cookie was real good. Place was just alright, I wouldn't come back. read more

This burger spot was highly recommended to us by a friend so I decided to try it out. Right off the bat, I can appreciate that they have lots of different options with fresh ingredients. They have sandwiches, salads, and the most standout thing for me is the zucchini fries. I don't think there's anything ground breaking about their burgers, I got a jr. burger and zucchini fries. But it did feel more on the healthier fresh side with the bun and patty not being too oily. But if I want a burger I would rather have it taste better with more flavorful sauces and a juicy patty. And the cheese wasn't super melty. Tasted like a backyard burger. read more

Do you want a quick bite? Maybe you are in a hurry? Then try rats charbroiled burgers I've been coming here for years and I always get the same kind of quality in their food and the prices are very good. Also, clean bathroom. Big parking lot no problem and I come in and go out very easily with my double cheeseburger in the bag to take home. It's a nice clean place and the people that serve your food are cool and diligent. Try it you won't regret it... read more

I have been eating at Rod's since I moved to the South Bay in 1980!!! Great hamburgers---one of the few places you can get a flame grilled burger made RARE! Gyros are excellent, as well. read more

When in doubt always come here!! There's quite a few overpriced restaurants on this street but not Rods. Its a south bay staple and it always hits the spot without dinging the wallet! read more

I usually get their Bacon and Eggs breakfast, which is very good, but today I got a Hamburger combo. The Hamburger was juicy and charred to perfection. The fries were crispy but just a little too much salt for my taste. Service was very friendly. read more

This place used to have such a warm feeling to the interior and ambience of the restaurant. After many renovations and changes it's now extremely stale and somewhat cold feeling less of a community spot and more of a grab your food and eat in the car. The double charburger with friends In the booths or the tables outside were a staple. Sadly the same burgers and burritos etc. now are maybe still good but not as fantastic as they used to be. The neighborhood doesn't flood it like it once did. The service stays the same with the kitchen feeling busy and orderly. But, it lost its sparkle as a hang and grub spot. I only hope these reviews can reach the managers to maybe try out that hometown diner feeling again. I think rods can definitely bounce back. read more

The burgers bacon cheese are delicious and the chille cheese fries are yummy. I've also have had the club sandwich which hits the spot.

The device was amazing and the chess was perfectly melted on top of a juicy burger. I remember coming here when I was little and will alway like this place read more

Today, my husband and I came to purchase lunch for our family when I witnessed this cook throw some fresh fries on top of the old fries that were in the pan to dish out to us for our meals. I shared this with the girl at the counter because the guy was pretending to not understand English when I told him about it. However, he understood that I notice his poor food service tactic. This is the 2nd time that I have witnessed this cook doing this. The first time was on a different day I saw this cook take the old fries from the pan that had been sitting for who knows how long, and he put the old fries into the oil to reheat to put in our order. When I brought this to the attention of the lady at the counter, the other cook who did speak English told him that you can't do that. From a Health & Safety perspective, food should be served at the correct temperature, and not reheated back into hot oil. This guy should be fired because he is making poor decisions when it comes to food quality. We've been dining at Rod's since the Original owner Dino & Andy owned this place in 2000's and this new owner needs to ensure their cooks don't continue to diminish the name "Rod's" with serving food that isn't fresh. Please, do better!! read more

Since my son loves cheeseburgers, I wanted to go to a place we hadn't tried before. The boys ordered the burgers and I got the fish sandwich. Both were delicious and tasted fresh. Da Hubs said these were the best char burgers he's tried. As far as char goes, my son agrees. We've added this to our list of fave burger places. Funny thing is, when you first arrive, the counter is really close to the entrance. There's ample seating to the side and the place is very clean. Parking in the small lot. read more

Wanted fast food. Ordered a hamburger with a Philly Cheesesteak combo. Received our order within 10 minutes. Food did not dissapoint! Everything came out fresh from the grease factory :) I recommend this place because of the nice people that work there that greeted us when we walked in. Food is the number one factor at this location. Many to choose from. Ate a burrito here once and I remember it being very tasty. Place is Clean with available parking. Good Hamburger spot! read more

First time here in over 10 years. This used to be our go to breakfast spot and for char broiled burgers. I read the mixed reviews so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I kept an open mind. I ordered an egg white omelette with easy cheese and it was delicious! The hash browns were solid too. We had a nice experience and the service provided was very good and genuinely friendly. Bottom line. Yes, the people have changed, the dining room has changed, the hash browns are different than what they were 10 years ago, BUT everything we ordered was delicious and the service was on-point. So we will be back. I am also eager to try my beloved double cheeseburger that was my prior carnivore favorite. read more

This is my 4th time coming here and I always order their yummy chili cheese fries. Large size. Wanted to get another tonight but they're closed already being 9:50pm ha. Darn, they should close at least midnight so I can get more chili cheese fries from here. Anytime I crave chili cheese fries, I just get over here. Their giant chocolate chip cookies are real good too but pricey lol. There's no deal with them for me to buy all they got here. The staff are always humble, nice, smiley, and courteous. read more

I was craving a turkey burger and not many places offer it these days. I decided to check this place out. The restaurant itself looked clean and the staff were super friendly. I ordered the turkey burger and my brother got the BBQ chicken sandwich. When I tell you that my brother enjoyed his sandwich that he inhaled it. For my turkey burger I requested a mayo substitute for the 1000 island dressing and it came out pretty good. We will definitely be back to try out more items on the menu. read more

We typically use to enjoy Rod's salads. Always enough to share between me and my husband however, we just placed an order to be delivered today and wow it it was so small and they forgot to add the dressing! Maybe enough for one person but for the price it's totally not worth it!! I'm so sad because they were our go to local place!! I understand it's under new owners , guys, you are going to lose your neighborhood! We want to support small businesses but can't if it's not a fair price for what we get. No one wants to get ripped off! I hope you revisit your strategy before it's too late. read more

soooo underrated! There's plenty of parking, it's reasonably priced and the burgers are pretty good, but the fries are amazing.

I had delivery today. The food was very good and it came still warm. I'm sure the establishment is a cool and nice place to eat inside.

An actual deal in the South Bay. Great food great service staff and a breakfast burrito from heaven and not expensive. Go here and eat a bb!

Great tasting char-broiled burgers! They did skimp on the avocado though for my bacon avocado burger. They keep a very clean establishment.

Rod's poison palace is the absolute worst burger place I've ever been to. Rods fries are pretty good, definitely the only thing that isn't disgusting. Employees are nice. Mega AVOID THIS PLACE! read more

4+ feels kind of like an old-school grill/diner that offers up Mexican food and burgers, etc. Oh, and they also have breakfast burritos! I found myself waking up in the Redondo Beach area and was hungry. I saw that this place was close by to my friends house so I wanted to check out their breakfast burrito. I thought it was really tasty. It wasn't too huge and the ratio of the potatoes, eggs, and the chorizo (what I ordered) was on point. There's a little bit of chili in there as well for some added flavor. I was already expecting a pretty darn good burrito, and this was better than expected to be honest. I was really happy with my order. The ambience itself feels like an old-school spot. One that you know probably gets frequented by a lot of local regulars. The service was great. The folks behind the counter were super nice and helpful. And they seem like they prepare your food in package it up with care. I'm a fan of this spot for sure. read more
