    Delicious smash burgers. Made to order! The quality is amazing! Great costumer service! I added jalapeños and they are fresh so the crunch it gives it so tasty! The wings have a nice crisp to them so even though they have sauce! The bread they use is nice and soft! All the flavors work well together and i love how thin and crispy the meat is!

    The double with smash fries... WOW

    Amazing smash burger! Got the double with pickles on the side. The hitter sauce had a sweetness to it. Enjoyed every bite. 9.5/10! Will come back!

    I wanted to like Halal Bodega, and to be fair, the burger was great. But the experience overall was frustrating. You can get in line around 5:45 and still be waiting at 8:25. The process feels highly disorganized, and the staff often seems more focused on talking with friends than actually cooking or moving orders along. If they could get their logistics in order, this place could be amazing. But right now, and in the short term, I can't imagine waiting another 2.5 hours for a burger anytime soon. I'll just go to Hammer Burger instead. I thought I was saving the drive to Santa Ana, but clearly I could have gone back and forth four times in the amount of time I waited.

    Halal Bodega is on another level. The quality of the food really stands out -- the burgers were insanely juicy, packed with flavor, and everything tasted super fresh. You can tell they use good ingredients and actually care about how the food comes out. The fries were hot, crispy, and just as good. On top of that, the customer service was top tier. Everyone was friendly, quick, and made the whole experience smooth from start to finish.

    AMAZING FOOD!!! kind workers, such a great burger with tons of flavor and the location is so perfect as well! it was a chill vibe and i can't wait to go back tbh.

    Saw this new spot open up. Really good food! Probably my new favorite burger spot! Portions are perfect. Sauce was bomb. I will definitely be coming back here often!

    The burger patty was so flavorful and crispy, with an amazing soft potato bun.

I was new and didn't know. The whole place was great and pretty clean. I got a single regular burger and an order of sweet potato fries. It was quick and hot and plenty for me. My family did like the fries but I could've gulped it in a heartbeat. A real must try. Sorry no photos - it was so good it was gone in a minute or two

    May 2026 - 2nd Visit…read more A girl broke things off with me today, and yet somehow eating here was the lowest point of my day. I don't understand how this place has won awards. I ordered a double hamburger and sweet potatoes fries bc I knew better than to order the sprouts after last time. And I have to say, the burger outdid itself after last time -- I've easily had dozens of better burgers in backyards. This burger had NO flavor. None. Halfway through eating it I realized they didn't put any effing pickles or sauce on it. WHAT?! How did you forget this?! But still, even without those, are you guys not smashing any season into your burger? I feel like I've discovered a conspiracy on par with the Da Vinci Code, which if I'm honest I'm not sure if that's a proper conspiracy analogy bc I never saw or read da Vinci code. Sucking a ketchup packet would've resulted in a more flavorful dinner. Licking a Hollywood blvd sidewalk for 3 seconds would give you a better sodium intake. But I digress. For health and digestive reasons (bc my digestive system is not really functional) I snuck in a radish to eat post burger. I am not kidding when I say the grocery store GMO Monsanto radish had more flavor than the burger. The sweet potato fries were the "highlight" of the meal and tasted as good as anything you'll get in a grocery store frozen aisle. There's no reason to ever go back.

The lady at the window was super nice! We decided to eat in the hallway adjacent to the kitchen, it was a nice warm night and the hall has a bunch of cool plants hanging Let's get into it!! I ordered the signature Goldburger and decided to add pastrami! Look at that! It's sliced thin and comes across kind of like a mound of bacon, melts in your mouth along with the rest of the burger. Very interesting combination it comes highly recommended! We went with curly fries cuz we are from the Midwest and there are no Arby's out here lol but I opted to grab a side of their classic sauce, which ROCKS! It was so good I was pouring it on the last few bites of my burger. Do yourself a favor and get some classic sauce and pour that stuff right on your burger, you won't be disappointed! Check it out!!

No overthinking it, just burgers done right. Both were solid, no complaints. Staff is cool too. Nice, patient, not rushing you even when it's busy, which I always appreciate. Only real downside is seating... but honestly that's kinda the deal with all their locations. You either find a spot or you're eating like you just made a life decision on the sidewalk. That said, it's still one of those spots you can just pull up to, get a good burger, and keep it moving. Next time I already know -- I gotta try the patty melt.

    May 17, 2026 12:15…read more Server Yaya Hawkins House of Burgers is a historic, family-owned restaurant in the city of Willowbrook/Watts area, Cynthia Hawkins is the owner. If you find yourself in the neighborhood you will realize quickly that it's not the best of neighborhoods. However you must stop by at least once at Hawkins to enjoy some hommade food. I had been wanting to come here for more than several years. Since I knew I'd be driving by them on my way back from visiting someone. I made sure to stop today and try them. There was several people sitting in cars and standing waiting for their orders. They have door dash and all these other delivery options. Most of there orders are delivery. We overlooked the menu and decided what we were going to get. We ordered 1 fat cheese without onions and tomato combo 1 triple cheese burger combo with large chili cheese fries added pastrami 1 peach cobbler The order came to $52. And some change There menu is American, specializing in burgers, but also serving tacos, hot dogs, chili cheese fries, and burritos. Menu highlight is the "Farmer Otis Burrito" (a 2-foot-long burrito) and options with pastrami and hot links. There menu options are huge just keep that in mind when ordering. We waited for our order for about 40 minutes. Remind yourself fresh and good things take time. My burger was so fresh packed with flavors the meat crispy the mayo and mustard on my buns made me wanting more. The pickles were delicious. Now for that triple burger make sure you bring your hunger that's no burger to play around with. 3 large patties just might send you into burger coma. Those large chili pastrami fries are a meal within themselves. We barley put a dent into them and gave up we were full. Now for dessert that Peach Cobbler was deliciously homemade. Only thing missing was some whipped cream. The cinnamon and nutmeg in each bite was mouth watering.
