From walking in, this place looked very clean. There wasn't more than 2 other patrons eating inside when we arrived. As soon as we put in our order that's when everyone started to walk in. I ordered a double cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. The patties are pretty thick slices of meat in comparison to other charbroiled burger joints. This I was not expecting! One slice would've been just fine. The burgers tasted great. They were a little overcooked, but still have plenty of flavor. The lettuce could have been crispier as it got partially soggy from the 5-7 min. Drive home. Service was wonderful. I'm coming back here again! 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

Rod's Char-broiler - Burgers Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

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.

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

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

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

Rod's Char-broiler - Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

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

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

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

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

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

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've been here various times. The food and service is always quick and friendly, as well as enjoyable and fairly priced.

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

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

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.

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

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

[Edit] I was promptly informed by management after writing the initial review that breakfast burritos are not limited to breakfast hours. I've been coming here for years and ordering breakfast burritos at any time of the day and all of a sudden I can't do that? Since when? I love a good breakfast burrito at lunch time. Oh well. read more

Slow service if you don't tip. I came in at 7:40pm and only ordered a chilli cheese fries, only 1 other person inside. 4 ppl came after me. They all got their orders ahead of me. I didnt get my order until 8:08pm. No way they all phone'd in their order ahead...Cashier will move and re-order tickets to her liking. Asked for ketchup and got just 2 of the squeeze packets. Didnt get any napkins. 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

Wow! What a sad change! The original owners and staff are all gone. They sold out. Different recipes and all. The pastrami sandwich is way smaller and looks pathetic. They changed the chili in the chili cheese fries. Now it tastes bland and awful. No more flavor. The new owner just wants to fatten there pockets. They let the old staff go to hire staff for cheaper. Such a sad thing to see. I will not be coming back and will be telling everyone I know about what happened here read more

Used to love this place :( . The food is okay but the experience was less than. The service needs some serious improvement. Came here with my friend. Our food was served after three people who ordered after us. The lady working was "kind" enough to walk up to customers that had placed their order after us, and gave them their food at their table. Us on the other hand had to walk up to get our food, which was arguably more difficult to carry. I hate when places are rude to younger customers for no reason. read more
