    Chili cheeseburger  JAN2026
    Franklin M.

    Old school since 1962. Since my last visit I decided to stop by and order a chili cheeseburger with all the fixings and a slice of tomato. The burger was better than before but I did not like the addition of lettuce on the burger. I like my burger Tommy's style with pickles, onions, and a thick slice of a tomato which they forgot to add.

    Avocado Bacon Cheeseburger combo and Chef salad

    Small neighborhood, no fuss burger spot. I've been to some of the larger Tops location but somehow never remember that we have a Tops Jr so close to us. We ordered: - Avocado cheeseburger combo with Orange Bang (pretty good, plenty of fries, $0.55 refill on the drink) - Chef salad (decent but nothing special. could use cucumber. had a couple sliced radish, which was weird. missing the traditional slices of boiled egg) Biggest pros: - decently priced items - they have Orange Bang (a must) - food is made to order and comes out rather quickly Tip: the parking lot in the back is tiny so I would suggest finding street parking. Breakfast is not available all day. A couple table are available to eat in front of the restaurant but this is more of a grab and go spot.

    Heard good things about this place. Iconic burger place known for their pastrami. Has to try their Tops burger which comes with pastrami. Very delicious and well presented. Juicy pastrami complimented by a well seasoned and cooked patty. Also had to try their chili cheese fries. I've had better but they did their job. Super friendly staff and clean environment.

    Finally dropped by Tops Jr. in Alhambra on a Sunday afternoon after living in the area for years--and I'm glad we gave it a shot. We originally planned to go to Pharaoh's (craving a salad and a burger combo), but forgot they're closed on Sundays. That's when I remembered Tops Jr. had a similar menu and decided to give it a go, especially since The Hat is more pastrami-heavy, and we weren't in the mood for that. We pulled into the small lot behind the restaurant, found parking easily, and walked around to the front to order. There were a couple people waiting on their food, but no line, so we ordered right away. I went with the Avocado Bacon Cheeseburger combo and a classic Orange Bang. Miori got the Chef Salad. The cashier was friendly and fast. They accept card, phone, or cash, and they have a small rewards tablet for signups--I went ahead and joined because I'm a sucker for a good rewards program. Our food came out fairly quickly, and we grabbed a shaded outdoor table to eat. The breeze was nice, and it made for a chill Sunday bite--even if the people-watching was a little underwhelming. We did notice a few people picking up orders they placed by phone, so that's good to keep in mind for the future. The menu is surprisingly stacked--everything from breakfast and burgers to hot dogs, Mexican food, salads, and smoothies. My burger was solid, with a good amount of fries (more than I could finish). Miori ate half her salad and saved the rest, though she mentioned that it was missing a few things--like slices of hard-boiled egg, which is usually standard for a chef salad. Also, the radish slices didn't add much, so she would've liked a few more actual veggies. Overall, good value, fast service, and plenty more on the menu I'd like to come back and try. Highlights: - Quick service & friendly staff - Easy parking behind the restaurant - Big, varied menu with something for everyone - Solid burger, classic Orange Bang hit the spot - Phone ordering available + rewards program Things to note: - Chef Salad could use a few more traditional ingredients - Radishes in the salad didn't really add much - No indoor seating; outdoor tables are shaded though Tops Jr. is a great local option when you're craving a burger or just want a solid, no-frills meal in Alhambra. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu next time.

    It's been 17 years since I first reviewed tops jr and I recently came back. Upgrading it to four stars because the chili cheese fries are actually better than the hats chili cheese fries. The chili just has a better depth of flavor so go try tops out!

    Crispy hot fries

    The Hot Pastrami's Sandwhich Combo, Fresh Pastrami and Crispy Fries! Along with Ice Cold Drink, Friendly and Fast Services. Plus outdoor eating! Good Enough for 2 people. Thank You

    Pastrami melt was yum
    Ann Y.

    CHILI CHEESE FRIES W/ ONIONS FTW Thin crispy fries, tasty chili lots of cheese and onions on top! Reminded me of Weinershnitzel's. Pastrami melt was delicious too! I didn't like the cheese that came with it. I will omit it next time. Taquitos were crispy and good. The avocado guac sauce has a slight kick and yummy but it made half of the taquitos soft as it is drenched. I will ask for it on the side next time.

    Very low key gem Driving by the restaurant and it caught my attention, decided to try it out, The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming and the cooks had an amazing work ethic I saw the way they were flipping the burgers amazing!!!! The food itself I got a double cheese burger with fries and the portion are pretty big for what you pay for and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and the fries too and they have peppers for your burger I will come again great food and great customer service too They do have parking in the back also

    Pastrami  so yummy
    Hortensia F.

    This is my first time here and let me tell you this cost me is yummy. Yummy yummy to your tummy. You need to come here and eat up Pastor whatever food they have there. If the pastrami is great, I could imagine how the other food taste.

    If you don't get your pastrami fries from here then you are truly missing out. Flavor and quality are unmatched!

    Nice outdoor area

    Okay so I wasn't expecting anything great, it's a local spot I drive by all the time. Today I was hangry and thought to try their taquitos. OMG! I should've ordered two orders. The guacamole sauce was off the hook! And the beef taquitos were soooo good. The location is right off the street and was very clean - the service was great. The cashier was super kind and the place had good energy. I will go back soon, now I'm craving these taquitos!

    Came out to hang out with the family and chose to stop by this spot to eat dinner and man I will it lie this place was a 10/10 one of the best pastrami fries I've had in awhile I def recommend you stop by if your in the area !

    Pastrami Dip Combo
    Kevin H.

    This place was recommended to me to have one of the best pastrami burgers. I did not think so! It was good but wasn't the best. For the price point and quality, I would try somewhere else for the pastrami sandwich combo. I got the pastrami dip but didn't get anything to dip the sandwich on. That's probably why it was a bit dry. I encourage everyone to try it to make up their own decision! The service was fast. You pay for your food and get it within 5-8 minutes. There is a small parking lot in the back where you can park and tables up front where you can eat. A lot of locals eat here. I need to try their breakfast menu!

    Pastrami with cheese, this is not what was ordered!

    Ask the Community - Tops Jr

    Do they offer Apple Pay?

    Last I check no, but that was a few months ago.

    Is Tops Jr closed or has different operating hours in 2021? I've tried calling twice in a week around 8:30PM. Both times, no answer!

    They close at 8:30 pm or maybe 8:00 pm

    Do they serve breakfast all day?

    Yes they do! It is very good.

They have a self ordering kiosk and I ordered the Macho Crispy Chicken Sandwich (9.99). I did dine in and they have a couple tables inside to sit at. The food was ready in about 10 minutes which is quick. The chicken sandwich was pretty good, the chicken quality is as good as the first time I ate it. But maybe because I wasn't as hungry so it didn't taste as good. The chicken patty seemed a bit less juicy than last time though. But still a pretty good chicken sandwhich although pricier than other places, it does have an Asian taste to it compared to western places. I think this is still a good spot for crispy chicken sandwich in the SGV. I think the Monterey Park location tasted better though.

    Super yummy! This is a great burger spot. My burger was pretty yummy and I loved the chili cheese…read morefries. My husband got a pastrami sandwich and it was huge. The sandwich was loaded with a ton of pastrami! So we took the extra pastrami that was falling out of the sandwich and put it on top of the chili cheese fries and that was super good. I loved the pastrami way more than the pastrami from The Hat. It has a different and better flavor than other pastrami I have had. It is a bit pricey but I do think these are typical prices now since inflation and everything is just more expensive these days. We paid about $36 and got a large drink, a large chili cheese fries, a pastrami sandwich, and a cheese burger. Super yummy and I'll definitely be coming back. This will be one of my go to burger spots

I always start off my ratings with cleanliness. I worked in a high volume restaurant back in the 70's. If you weren't doing something you were cleaning. Ordered the classic burger, fries and coke. Picked up my order after a short wait. Cleaned off my own table and sat down. Burger looked decent, fries looked amazing and can never say anything bad about a classic coke. First bite of the burger was a little disappointing. Burger was thin and seemed overcooked to me. I thought it was dry. Roll, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo were ok. Not bad overall but for some reason I expected a better burger experience. Let's talk about the fries. Truly classic French fried potatoes. Perfectly cooked. Light golden color. Nice texture and flavor. What every French fry should look and taste like. Coke was great. Sorry to say I was not impressed by the burger. This was my experience on 05/09/2026. Could have been cleaner and maybe the burger not overcooked. Your experience may be totally different.
