This review is long overdue. Super Burger is awesome! It is the most unassuming looking restaurant imaginable but the burgers are to die for. Always fresh, always made to order always hot. Toppings are available but unnecessary really. The ground beef is the star. I have tried the fries and they are also excellent, but do not stand out like the burgers. No idea what else is on the menu. \ The hype is real, this is the best burger in pasadena, on par with Pie & Burger and In&Out. read more

Best Burger in town and around! So simple but good. Easy and quick service. Kick back outside patio and grub!

Love you Superburger. I get the cheeseburger combo. Follow on IG they're low key funny read more

No need to pay $25 or $30 for a burger somewhere fancier, go here. These burgers are delicious.

Absolute BEST burgers I've had!...been coming here for years. Very friendly service great food

The best-kept secret in Pasadena. A true hole-in-the-wall gem. Super burger smells amazing! If you want a REAL burger with a serious amount of meat, go to Super Burger. The Teriyaki burgers have a beef patty and THEN teriyaki beef, if that gives you any indication. The fries are lacking but the burgers make up for it. No indoor seating and kind of a ramshackle building but who cares, the food is amazing. read more

Super Burger - cheeseburger with grilled onions - Burgers Near Me - Pasadena, California

I can't believe it. I can actually say I found a burger spot that's better than in n out...!!! And this is not an exaggeration. I've had my fair share of burgers growing up in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and this place kills it. I ordered the double cheeseburger combo and holy cannoli is the burger spectacular in terms of flavor, size, and texture. The beef patty is thick and juicy and perfectly charbroiled. They're generous in the burger size and heap on the fries too. The double cheeseburger is enough for two meals, and prices are reasonable for the amount of food served. Boy am I read more

Awesome Family Owned local burger stand..the burgers will remind of a good backayrd bbq burger...teri beef awesome option on there menu too. Solid place been coming here for about 7yrs...i wish they bring there breakfast back or just breakfast burrito read more

Super Burger rests on a quaint corner in Pasadena with tree lined residential streets so it is quite relaxing to escape the concrete jungle for an hour lunch. This burger shack serves large juicy burgers and I've been trying to recreate the juiciness at home but no luck so far. My failed attempts reminds me of old school samurai flicks where really bad fake blood sprays all over a snow white screen door (ahh.. Japanese aesthetics). Instead of a samurai sword, I'm holding a meat thermometer. The juiciness of the patties at Super Burger comes with an asterisk. I had a memento mori moment when I first realized my burger was medium rare. pink like cherry blossoms-- to eat or not to eat that is the question read more

I took a chance on this place driving by. I am glad that I did. The patty is fat and juicy. Nothing like the frozen little slabs like a lot of places. Toasted bun. Fries are good. Overall much better than the chain fast food. Including In-and-Out. It's not fancy looking, but don't let that scare you away. O read more

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

They're not called Super for no reason! Super Burger is the quintessential, mom-and-pop, neighborhood burger joint that comes with no gimmicks, just quality. It's family owned with nice people at the helm of service. There's a walk up window where you can make your order and a few tables if you choose to eat there. Most of the time, I'm picking up my order. The atmosphere is down to earth. The prices are affordable and the burgers are delicious. Highly recommend. read more

When my husband told me how amazing this burger place was, I just had to check it out with him to see if it's true! On Wednesday afternoon while waiting for my car's oil to get changed, my husband picked me up from his work (on lunch break) and took me to Super Burger, a classic fast food mom and pop shop managed by a Korean family who really put their heart and soul into this place. There were plenty of tables and chairs to sit outside for your meal. While waiting for our order to get called, I saw how hard and dedicated this family was just by watching the son and mom helping out with the cash register while the father worked on the thick, juicy meat patties with bacon and cheese cooked to perfection. The burger itself was huge with the addition of lettuce, tomato, and thousand island dressing, but very delicious! I also had the crinkle cut fries as part of the combo meal, which was okay and nothing special. When it comes to burgers, you just need a thick and juicy one to satisfy your craving. Overall, Super Burger was one of the best I ever had! P.S. In terms of parking there is street parking around as well as a little parking lot next door. read more

Best CheeseBurger I've ever had under $7. The meat is 2-3x heavier here than an In-N-Out Burger. The meat is really what makes this burger; thick & juicy. Sometimes you'll get a medium burger that is even better, and you can taste the freshness. Grilled Onions are nice, but it can be a heavy meal, it's big enough to share a burger for two people. Fries are Crinkle-Cut, OK. read more

This was recommended to me by a friend. Finally got to go since they close early and burger cravings hit in the pms. The place is located in a corner. Very simple, no frills burger spot but the flavor is jam packed! We had two of the cheeseburger meals - fries and drinks included. We decided last minute to change one of the fries to make it chili cheese because I saw photos posted and was sold. We just added the difference. Burger was incredibly simple- burger, cheese, lettuce, tomato, thousand island dressing on a nice burger bun BUT IT WAS DELICIOUS!! Very flavorful, the patty and ingredients were all fresh! There was awesome balance between every bite. I kept nodding my head each time I took a bite. Their fries were awesome as well. Chili cheese fries were packed! No one was short on the chili or cheese here!! This seems to be a kept secret in Pasadena and so happy that we decided to go! I do prefer it to Pie and Burger! Walked over to the counter to compliment the owner and altho he seemed a little stern at first, he gave me a smile and a thank you after I told him I had one incredibly good burger! WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!! read more

It's a total dive but the burgers are excellent. We went with the standard hamburger with bacon and avocado added. We received enormous slices of avocado and tons of crispy bacon. The burger patty itself was hand-packed and seasoned well. There was dressing all over it and it was a beautiful, sloppy, delicious mess. The bean and cheese burrito was enormous but the beans were just pasty, tasteless mushiness inside. The onion rings were extremely crisp but all you could really taste was the batter. Burgers are their strength. It is, of course, called Super Burger. Get the burger. read more

Avoid this place. Service is terrible-young man is rude and threatening to customers. Food quality is questionable. Beef is old - possibly spoiled. read more

Super burger used to be the terrible burger place near PHS. But it's had new ownership for a while and they now make my favorite burger in town!!! Highly recommend!!! I get the cheese burger combo (with raw onion) and the burger is big and juicy, fries cooked perfectly crisp. Go to @superburger_pasadena if you want to see all the great burgers they make!!! read more

Does anyone know where the cheeseburger was born? Anyone? Anyone? Pasadena. Does anyone know what kind of fries Super Burger makes? Anyone? Anyone? Krinkle-cut. Does anyone know what kind of business Super Burger is? Anyone? Anyone? Mom&Pop--- like retro 50's Leave it to Beaver hamburger stand! Does anyone know if the burgers are pre-cooked at Super Burger ? Anyone? Anyone? Made To Order. Pasadena is cool for lots of things but this hamburger stand? It's a totem for those on a pilgrimage questing for a cheeseburger classic. The burgers are huggggge and poppin' that cheeseburger umami. So come here for a touch of history, to have a cheeseburger in the city where it was invented. I hear the burgers are made very close to how they were made back then-- thick juicy patties, ask for extra cheese and melted, with crispy bacon. My burger was thick and juicy, the cheese and crispy bacon on top of everything else, gave me that Ahhhhhhh! moment. Nirvana! Love this place! Thanks Yelper Grant H. for leading me to Super Burger.. Visits: 1 Tip: Closes early at 7:30pm. Closed Sunday read more

Super Burger - When in Pasadena... - Burgers Near Me - Pasadena, California

These burgers were...BOMB. The restaurant's location was right on the corner of a street with plenty of street parking. The lady taking my order was very friendly and the whole staff was very efficient. The most surprising thing was the portions. The burgers were massive yet still juicy and well-seasoned. The veggies tasted super fresh and the buns were perfectly toasted. The chili cheese fries were also tasty! We couldn't finish the meal because the portions were so big! I'd fully recommend trying this spot out. read more

So glad I found this place. I ordered a cheese burger with avocado. It was humongous. Bun was toasted. The patty was marinated and grilled well. Lettuce with thousand island dressing was delicious. I wanted another one after I finished! Pastrami Burger was pretty good too. But I like my Burger plain and simple, so I enjoyed the cheese burger more. It's just a personal preference. Chili cheese fries comes with beans. The only downside is they close pretty early on weekdays (7:30). I almost missed it! Update: went back to try more stuff. Teriyaki burger was soooo good! Maybe next time I will try the plates! Fish burger: the only thing I didn't enjoy. Fish was too dry. Beef Burrito: average. read more

Super Burger - Beef Burrito - Burgers Near Me - Pasadena, California

I came here around 6 on a Monday. I got the pastrami burger for $9 and split regular sized fries with my best friend Alex for $3. The cashier told us even the regular size was more than enough for 2 people and boy was he right! Our food was ready in 10 minutes. My burger was amazing, honestly among the best in LA. It was juicy. The cheese had started to melt into the patty. The pastrami was tasty and plentiful. The 1000 island tasted like it had more pickle relish than your average 1000 island and I dug it. It was such an enormous burger I could hardly finish it to be honest. I think when I come back in the future I'll get just the regular cheeseburger because that's already so much food on its own. Incredible! The fries were so-so by themselves. Kinda bland and devoid of any flavor. Was another story when we added some seasoning salt which was by the pick up window though. Pretty good fries with the seasoning, not so much without. Knowing now how enormous their burgers are, I probably will do just fine without fries during future visits. I read quite a few reviews complaining about the cashier. I wonder if someone else was working when I came because he was totally fine with us. Actually he had not heard me ask for an extra 1000 island, so when I asked for it when our food was ready, he gave me some free of charge. I thought that was pretty nice! Summary: - amazing pastrami burger - underwhelming fries, decent when you add their seasoning salt - despite many other people on here, customer service in my case was all good! read more

Prepare to bust your pants open. Omg juicy burgers. Fresh Thick patties, greasy goodness.. onion rings & fries are on point. Drenched in ranch... into my mouth they go! Closed on Sundays! Don't drive all the way over here to expect some grub on Sundays. Sadly I arrived one Sunday & I was unable get a greasy burger. read more

Best burger in LA! Truly a gem and diamond in the rough. The nicest people too. It's a wonderful example of good people doing great things. Outstanding read more

Man I love this old school burger place! I made the mistake of getting a double cheeseburger meal the first time and it was amazing, but way too much food. It was seriously delicious. This isn't a trendy-tapas-skinny jeans type of burger. This is heart-clogging, gut-filling and belt-busting. This place has a lot of firemen and blue collar dudes who work hard and enjoy a hearty meal. This burger should come wrapped in CPR instructions! Seriously, a single burger is plenty. The fries are crinkle cut and plentiful. There is no attempt made at ambiance here. This is not for a date night. All the seating is outside and parking can be tricky. Worth it. Just saying. read more

Hands down the best cheeseburger in all of Pasadena - and dare I say, all of LA. Forget those trendy smash burger places, this place is way more legit! I love supporting this family run business (it's truly a mom and pop shop), and it feels like a secret 'locals only' place. It's so good we came here twice in one day! Thank you Ben, Jean and Kevin for being in business and serving us these delicious eats! We are so grateful for your food. read more

Best burger I've had in a long long time. Wouldn't change a thing from the bun to the patty, perfection.

Lots of rave reviews on this burger joint... I was expecting nothing but greatness... my expectations were super high! First, when you come here it's definitely not for the decor. It's literally a shack. In front of a motel with limited parking. Price was high in my opinion. I paid about $14 for a cheeseburger (added bacon and avocado). It was a combo and came with a drink and onion rings. I thought it was a good, solid burger. Was it amazing and best I've ever had? Probably not. Onion rings were good! It wasn't the typical whole onion fried rings, more like chopped and then fried (different consistency). Size of burger was bigger than the average. I wouldn't call it "humongous" either... Would I come back? Maybe. But next time I would just order the regular cheeseburger. I was also eyeing the breakfast burrito (not served after 11 am)... read more

Super Burger - Combo cheeseburger, added bacon and avocado. - Burgers Near Me - Pasadena, California

Cheese burger combo can only be beat if you order it with bacon. That's my jam every time I need a burger!

Love the food but they are always closed, I travel far at times to come here and the hours doesn't match my timing AT ALL nor make sense! A friend told me to go between 12:00pm and 2:00pm M-T because that's the only time they are open read more

I usually get the Salmon teriyaki - it's a nice big hunk of fish. You get rice and veggies with it. The other teriyaki plates are also quite good. I also like their burgers and fish sandwiches. I need to go with a friend to get fries. ;-) It's a hole in the wall with a few outdoor tables. Victory Park is just up the street if you prefer to eat at a place with grass and trees. ;-) read more

I come here only on the weekdays now to avoid the grumpy weekend service (if that's still going on) and now love this place. The woman taking and giving out orders is genuinely happy to see you and the burgers are huge, fresh, juicy, and VERY filling. Their serving of fries is also huge, I can never finish it on my own. Every time I'm in the area on a work day, the Super Burger craving hits and I have to indulge. I never regret it. read more

***1400th Review*** Is it ironic that someone who doesn't eat a lot of red meat chooses Super Burger for their 1400th yelp review?!?! :) Being born and raised in Pasadena and now visiting it extremely often I know there are some solid burgers in this area. Trust me! I've enjoyed a few of them in the recent months but this review is to honor Pasadena and its Cheeseburger Week. Did you know the first Cheeseburger was invented in Pasadena? If you didn't, now you do! If you want to Google it you may read that it was invented in a ton of other places too ;) We pulled into the parking lot of Super Burger just a minute or so before 730P on a Wednesday evening. Now, I would never do such a thing on a normal occasion, I know these people have families and places to be but we were stuck in a bit of traffic due to the weather that evening and I was Super hungry. I wasn't sure if they'd take our order or turn us away but they were so friendly and immediately took our order, another customer showed up after 730P who'd called in an order and then as we were about to leave a couple kids showed up and they even let them order. So kind! I wouldn't advise you to show up after closing time but the kindness really stood out. People are hungry and craving cheeseburgers and Super Burger is not closing the window or turning the Closed sign over on you which was very much appreciated. My boyfriend and I ordered classic single patty Cheeseburgers, he asked for grilled onions on his. I had regular fries and he ordered chili fries. I will say, the fries weren't my favorite, either ones - and the chili has beans in it so if a bean chili isn't your thing you may not care for the chili. The cheeseburgers however are 5 STAR OUTSTANDING!!!! The patties are massive and grilled to perfection. If you are ever craving a cheeseburger Super Burger is definitely one of the best in the area. I adore spots like this and as much as I know I shouldn't be eating red meat I know without a doubt I'll be back here again. I can't think of a better choice for us to have celebrated the invention of the cheeseburger in Pasadena, than at Super Burger. Do yourself a favor and check this place out if you haven't been before. Skip the fries and you've saved yourself some calories and carbohydrates :) read more

UPDATED REVIEW! Look this burger joint is and always will be a force to be reckoned with! Always and forever. That flavor you get off the griddle here. LOL Its no joke, SLAP YO MAMA good! The quality of beef here is fresh as heck! Due to cold weathers right now you wont see a lot of people sitting outside since its a outside ONLY. ( would be nice if they had some kind of heater ) When the weather is warmer this place is POPPIN! Lines I tell you! Great flavor from the burger. Thats all I have ever came here for. I mean the sign says " SUPER BURGER " You dont ask for peanut butter and jelly at a sushi bar. So GET THE BURGER! Trust me you will love every bite, start till finish! P.S. Parking on the side or front and ask for ketchup. read more

Way too expensive for the quality of food! Not worth it!!! Another slight downfall... they do not offer kids meals for the kids. You're better off going somewhere else for those prices and get better quality food. read more

Finally got to try Super Burger and realized what I've been missing. A friend that lives nearby had told me about this place and it's been on my radar for a while. It's at the corner of Villa & Altadena and the parking situation in the lot next to it wasnt so clear so we just parked on the street. I went with the cheeseburger combo ($7.25) which comes with fries & a drink. Not a bad deal considering a cheeseburger (per menu) by itself was the same price... The cheeseburger was great. It was a thick, sizeable, hand-formed patty that was cooked perfectly. It had a little char crispness at the ends but was juicy throughout. It wasnt overcooked. It came with shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, thousand island and TWO slices of cheese. I think the 2 slices is key because as it melts on to the pattie, each bite really has that great flavor combination of cheese and meat with everything else... The bread was also really good. Surprisingly good. It was soft but was crisp as it was evident it was heated up on the flat top to get that crunch on one side. It was really perfect with this burger. Beefy pattie, tasty cheese and perfect bread. Winner... Order and pay at the first window, get a ticket with your order number on it and pick up at the other window. Service was friendly from the Asian lady taking your order and giving your food. Burgers are cooked to order so you may wait 5 mins or so... Definitely worth the wait. read more
