I thought I already reviewed the best burger in Pasadena! On my first visit, a standard burger was $3.95. I forget what it is now-- $6??? As good as this burger is, it's still a deal. Super Burger is owned by a super-nice Korean family. There are various Korean dishes in their menu available but I only go there for the burgers. What makes their simple burgers so great? First off the burger patty-- the patties are formed in-house. The cooked patties have that irregular edge that can only come from being hand-formed; imperfect and delicious. These aren't the frozen discs delivered by a freezer truck. The ratio of the ingredients are ideal. -- The tomato is sliced to the perfect thickness -- The freshly-shredded lettuce doesn't manspread and take up too much of the burger's real estate -- The thousand island dressing marries the freshness of the veggie section to the animal part perfectly -- The burger patty's girth is appropriately balanced for the other ingredients. -- Their buns have that old-school yeast(?) flavor not available in stores. Their burgers are lovingly prepared and assembled with care. This is why whenever I go, there are always people there. Seating is strictly patio style, looking out onto the intersection of Altadena and Villa. There lot is small lot next to the stand. I'm not sure if it's shared with another business. Street parking is available. Even though super burger is basically a corner burger stand with patio seating, the place is always clean. Super Burger is definitely a sure thing. It is the finest example of what a basic, standard burger can be. Bun, burger patty, lettuce, tomato, and dressing doesn't get better than this. read more

The service is friendly and portions are good. Freshly prepared, thick burgers tasted good and the little seating area outside is nice with kids. The value is just pretty good or else it would be a 5 star spot. It'll be a regular stop for me when I'm in the area. read more

Super Burger - Bacon Cheeseburger and Fries - Burgers Near Me - Pasadena, California

So it was cheeseburger week and I thought I ate here before but apparently it was my first time. I got the combo and chose the onion rings and it was probably the best onion rings I've had in a very long time. I've been on the hunt for good tasting onion rings and I've finally found it. The burger was alright but the onion rings were really good. The fries were tasty too but the winner was the onion rings. Everyone at the bench agreed that the rings were good and should've chosen that over the fries. You can get a refill of Soda for $0.50. Parking is only street parking but it's abundant so you're good for parking spaces. Outdoor seating with a couple of round benches and two seaters to sit on. Not sure if you can call in for an order but it's fairly quick. read more

Super Burger - Cheese burger with a side of onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Pasadena, California

I really wanted to love this place. Sadly, though it wasn't good. I got a double cheeseburger combo with bacon and the burger and fries both just tasted very off. Idk what it was exactly, but it didn't have a good flavor. The lady who took the order was nice though. read more

I just paid $18 for one of the nastiest chicken teriyaki bowls I've ever had. I honestly could've made something better at home. The chicken wasn't even fully warm, had absolutely no flavor, and was drowned in a ton of sauce that seemed like it was there to cover up the bland chicken. Definitely not worth $18. Very disappointing. read more

This is a solid, high-quality burger stop. The bun was toasted perfectly and the patty had excellent flavor, it's exactly what you're looking for if you want an elevated burger stand. I loved seeing the owners behind the counter. Great retro vibe. Highly recommended! read more

Burgers were super and the staff is incredibly friendly! The lady that took our order was incredibly sweet.

What We Ordered: -Cheeseburger Combo $14.45 -Pastrami Cheeseburger $14.95 -Teriyaki Chicken with Rice and Veggies $16.95 -Chili Cheese Fries (L) $15.95 One of the best burgers, I've had in a long time. The Pastrami Cheeseburger was excellent. The Pastrami was nice and tasty and of high quality. The thousand island dressing really complimented the burger quite well! The Chili Cheese Fries were kind of average. The portion size is good for the price you're paying. However, IMO the chili wasn't very good and there were beans in it. I'm not a huge fan of beans in Chili Cheese Fries. Our son ordered the Cheeseburger and he loved it! He was digging the fries as well! The wife scarfed down the Teriyaki Chicken. Her only complaint was that the chicken was on the dry side. She said the teriyaki sauce was outstanding. She asked me, if the family who ran Super burger was Asian. That's how I know she liked it! I don't recommend the Chili Cheese Fries here as the chili was nothing to write home about. I highly recommend that you order the Pastrami Cheeseburger and the Teriyaki Chicken. You won't be disappointed! I might have to try the Teriyaki Burger next time to see how they sauce pairs with a burger. The food was delicious; a return is certain. read more

This place deserves way more than 5 stars. If you haven't been or are thinking about trying this place it's a yes yes yes. This place is awesome, i absolutely love it. Their burgers are out of this world. They are big and juicy and saucy and fattening everything you would want in a burger. Their teriyaki burger is the best thing on the menu in my opinion. If you have a large appetite then one person would be able to finish it, but it is also shareable. The onion rings are also amazing. They are the kind that the whole onion doesn't come out when you bite into it. The perfect onion ring! Their fries are very good. This place is a little pricey but well worth it. They aren't open long hours and not open on Sunday. This is a great lunch spot. It's a little place, no inside seating but there are a few tables outside. This place is best for takeout. read more

Some time in the 2020's smashburgers took over Los Angeles. Thank god nobody told Super Burger, where the burgers are THICC. Old school beefy burger and crinkle cut fries perfection! When you go here, there will be no parking, there will be a battalion of firefighters in front of you in line, and the burgers will take a *long* time to cook (see the thing about them being "thick"). And it will absolutely be worth it. read more

I drive by this place everyday since I live down the street and I finally decided to try it. Was very skeptical at first about the hype and the price until i finally tried it! The teriyaki burger was one of the best i've had since its not the same type of typical teriyaki burger with teriyaki sauce, they add teriyaki beef on top of the hamburger patty and it's amazing. the onion rings here is probably the best in pasadena! read more

A nice burger spot that has large portions. The teriyaki beef burger was an interesting fusion of flavors. The crinkle cut fries could be a bit more seasoned but it came with lots of fries. You order at the counter and the food comes out fast. There is a few tables for dining in and they have a decent selection of different types of burgers. Overall chill and casual ambiance. read more

This place was delicious. Don't be deceived by the way it looks the only bad thing is they don't have a bathroom so go to the bathroom before you come to this place. The burger was delicious. Three of us went. One of us had a pastrami cheeseburger was told it was delicious Other one had the club sandwich also was delicious. I had a hamburger and it was delicious. juicy patty they give you plenty of fries. Highly recommended if you can in Pasadena check them out. read more

I discovered Super Burger many many years ago, but I seldomly come here because the burger gives me heartburn and plus they close early at 3pm. They do have one of the best burgers though. When I do come here, I always get a cheeseburger with bacon. The burger patty is really thick and I love how I can taste the bacon in every bite. The burger is really filling and it is hard to finish one. It is also oily, which is probably why it taste so good. I just don't like that it gives me a horrible feeling after eating it. Customer service is good and quick. read more

In our quest to find the best burgers in LA, we visited Super Burger in Pasadena. There was a short line that moved quickly. The woman who took my order kept trying to upsell me. She finally stopped after it was clear that all I wanted was a double-patty hamburger. I was given a buzzer and waited for the burger to be prepared. After 10 minutes, the buzzer went off and I picked up the burger. The patties were larger than I expected (about 1/3 pound). The quality of the meat was not great, and the patties were overcooked. The burger came with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and Thousand Island dressing. The toasted bun could not stand up to the juicy vegetables and sauce, and quickly became mushy. Limited, well-worn outdoor seating is available. Street parking is easy to find. read more

I'm sorry but I don't understand these reviews. Hubs and I were looking for a good burger in town and saw this was #1. People working were polite and our burgers came out fairly quickly. We ordered cheeseburger combo. Note..... Way to may fries for one person, overcooked and full of grease. Burger was a decent size but nothing special about it. Lettuce was not fresh and had that preservative taste to it. How difficult is it to use a piece of fresh iceberg lettuce? Blah Burger and not inexpensive. read more

Super Burger - Vegetable oil & AVOKADO! - Burgers Near Me - Pasadena, California

Did you know that the cheeseburger was invented in Pasadena, CA? You're welcome. It wasn't invented at Super Burger but you could've fooled me because this taste is original... originally delicious. This is a neighborhood staple and you'll see a lot of locals here. It's a walk up window and outdoor seating only, you can tell this place is family owned by the care they put into each meal and the smile you get from the staff that seems to remember me when I walk up. Anyway, on to the food. I normally go between the hamburger and fries which are crinkle cut with seasoned salt (yes seasoned French fries!) or the hamburger and onion rings. Their onion rings are so good that sometimes I just get a side of them to help me deal with LA traffic and eat them as a snack on my way somewhere lol. The food is always consistent, hot and fresh. The burgers are juicy and well seasoned, the bun tastes like a classic burger stand bun taking you back to childhood. Whatever you get here, you can't go wrong. This place gets super packed around lunch time so go before 11:30 or after 1:00. read more

Very casual mom and pop burger spot. Service and food are amazing. Appears to be family owned and super friendly and welcoming. There are burger, sandwich, and teriyaki options. I ordered a teriyaki burger and asked for onion and cheese. I thought it would be a burger with teriyaki sauce but it was a burger with beef teriyaki on top! It was huge!!!! It had a good combination of savory and sweet (not too sweet). I also ordered onion rings. I love onions. There is outdoor seating available and residential parking. read more

Super Burger - Teriyaki Burger - Burgers Near Me - Pasadena, California

Pasadena is known for its great burger spots and there are definitely a lot to choose from but a must choose for every and all Berger lovers is Super Burger at the corner of Villa and Altadena In Pasadena. I'm going to get right to the burger because it's the star of the show. The burger is a hand packed half pound meat patty that's fried on a flat iron griddle to seared perfection. The burger is meaty and juicy. They do have a double burger, but I do not know anyone that could take that down. The buns are soft, fresh and a perfect complement to the burger. The traditional burger comes with lettuce, tomato, and island dressing. I typically skip the tomato and then I get real easy thousand island, ketchup, mustard, and pickles. Now for the french fries. They are frozen, but they are crinkle cut and they are super crunchy potato and delicious. Let's talk about ambience. There's only outdoor seating in the tables. Remind me of the old school tables at great America hard plastic with interesting colors. I absolutely love it. As far as the service goes it's a husband and wife typically sometimes their son is there. The husband and wife are absolutely adorable . When it's busy, they can be a little bit in the weeds and not that they're not friendly, but they're busy doing work and the pleasant trees are kept to a minimum but if you go there right after the rush, they're super sweet and always have a smile on their face. They do close early and they aren't open on weekends so be aware of that. The prices are probably some of the best around. You can get a burger fries and a drink for like $12-$15. And for the amount of food you get that's a great deal so, next time you're in Pasadena and you're looking for a burger do not skip Super Burger. Also, it is worth the Trip Just to go there for the burger. read more

My mom was getting an outpatient procedure done at the doctor's office next door and the staff there (including the doctor) were telling me how great this burger spot is. When that many people are suggesting this place to me at different hours of the day, it's a sign to have my lunch here. It was already later in the day, so I didn't want to order too much. I decided to just get a small order of the chili cheese fries (yes, I know.. no burger at a burger joint) and it was WAY larger than I had anticipated. The portions were more than generous and the fries were absolutely smothered with their chili. Although smothered, the fries were still very crispy and every bite was pure joy. It seems like the place literally mom and pop and they were so friendly when I went back up to the window to grab a bag. There was so much food I couldn't even get through 1/3 of it, so it was definitely bang for my buck. Gotta come back again when she has her next follow up for a burger! read more

This place has been around for over 13 years. It's a mom-and-pop fast food spot. They are known for their great burger and fries with seasoned salt. The service is good and the atmosphere is ok. They need to upgrade. All outside seating is outdated and cracked. The place needs some new paint and signs. I ordered a fish burger with fries and it was good as usual. Parking is located on the street or in the lot. read more

This place is really good! I believe the staff are apart of the ownership team and they are amazing. They give you more than you could ever ask for. Their burgers are amazing and actually made with love. They have outdoor seating but I usually take the burgers home because I eat like a monster. My wife told me about this spot and I'm glad she did. read more

As excited as i thought i was going to be for a simple chicken teriyaki plate i get a plate of boiled chicken, drenched in sauce and rice. Nothing excited and just bland. Everything an after thought just put together and there you go customer. For that kind of price i could had just gone down the street to flame broiler and got me two bowls and actually enjoyed it but i wanted to give this a shot. Everything on the menu is overpriced!! read more

Been wanting to try this place since they have special hours (they are closed on Sundays). Expect to find street parking here, they do have a small lot but not sure if it is there's or it's a shared lot with someone else. I got to order a cheeseburger, my bf ordered a double hamburger with cheese as a combo so that it comes with fries and a drink. Honestly we don't need two combos so only one of us to get a combo would be good enough for the both of us haha. We paid and got a pager and the seats are free for all. This is a very classic joint where it kinda has that "ghetto vibe" but it was surprisingly pretty clean. Once we got our order, the burgers looked huge! Mainly the patty was super huge, and the food looked really good, we were excited to dig in. In summary of the burgers, they were pretty good, but definitely can be better. The burger itself was kind of dry, the thousand island dressing tasted like it didn't really make a difference. The lettuce and others were refreshing, and the fries was surprisingly really good! I enjoyed the crinkle cut fries a lot. For the price point of these burgers, they are kinda pricier than most fast food places, but also not as much expensive compared to a gourmet hamburger restaurant. I still may prefer in n out burgers, but the fries here were good haha. read more

Delicious food run by a kind family. Burgers taste like it was made at home. Will come back often

We used to live across the street 20 years ago and it offered a lot of rice dishes as well as burgers. They limited the menu after pandemic but still great food. Stopped by today Nov 2024 to pick up some cheese burgers and fries. Their burgers are amazing and cooked perfect. The buns are toasted so when you bite into the burger there's a nice crunch. I love all the fresh ingredients they use. I'm not fond of pickles, onions, and mustard and they don't put any of them in this burger. So I loved it. My husband said it was missing some acidity to it. Fries are plenty and crispy. Service is always nice and friendly, I like the little beepers they give you to let you know your food is ready. We always take the food to go. Thank you everyone who continues to support this establishment. You won't be disappointed. read more

The only place that can serve you chili fries but refuses to make chili burger.....the math ain't mathin

Super Burger does indeed justify their name. It's nothing gimmicky or Instagram worthy but it's just solid, old fashioned goodness. Thick patties are the name of the game here and they are simply fresh, hand formed hockey pucks of juicy beef. Not your conventional, machine formed, straight out of a frozen column variety. These are the ones like your mama use to make and why wouldn't they be when you realize the stand is run by a family, a super nice one at that. It's literally a stand with all covered, outdoor seating so you get that BBQ vibe when the smoke and aromas are hitting you from the sky. They just have a small specialized menu and when you're feeling hungry you can venture for their most ambitious offering, the teriyaki burger, which is their regular burger piled high, and I mean high, with tender teriyaki beef. One more thing, make sure to check out their hours before you go because they don't open for dinner. read more
