This review is long overdue! I always get their breakfast burrito with bacon & asada (no beans) with fries extra crispy. They really load it up here with everything you order. I'll eat half the burrito and save the other half for the next day. The fries are SO GOOD and always fresh! I also love all of their salsas. It's self-serve on the side so you can try all of them. I haven't been here in a while since I moved away for the last few years but now that I'm back I'll have to pay them another visit. I actually ordered the exact same thing from another place today and it just wasn't as good! I just have to stick to what I know and come back there! Also, if you're ordering take out I would call ahead so they have it ready for you! Enjoy! read more

I was craving a really good burger and decided to check Yelp!!! Yes, I also refer to it and that's why I began leaving reviews! I ordered on-line and didn't wait long for pick up. It was busy and I thought I'd have to wait. If I ordered there/ here it would have taken about 15 minutes because everything was made fresh! Clean and busy with seating inside. I wasn't expecting much until I bit into it! We took it home and to our surprise, it turned out to be a double cheeseburger with grilled onions. Before I tried it I took out a patty to save for my granddaughter as well as most of the fries! This Combo is so worth the price , it's enough for two and you can taste the freshness! The burger is seasoned and grilled to a yummy consistency, the grilled onions are also grilled and seasoned to a melt in your mouth texture, the cheese which I usually don't like added to the flavor and the sauce that is added all made for the Perfect Burger!!! The side of chili was yummy and we dipped our perfectly fried potatoes to it. This combo is so worth the price and the portion was generous! I will be back soon! VJ's Burger is a MUST!!! read more

Great little burger spot that could be perfect with some adjustments on my part. Not everything is on the menu, but they weren't happy to accommodate if you ask. Ended up ordering way to much because they were accommodating, but that's on me :) Wanted a pastrami burger combo, which is not on the menu, but they hooked it up. Also wanted to try the onion rings and zucchini, which they were able to do half/half. $10 even if you order just one, so cool they didn't up charge for the split, but still kind of high. Best part of the meal though! They also offered to add chili and cheese to my fries, so really got to try it all. Fries were a bit soggy, so need to order well done next time. Only part of the meal I didn't fully enjoy. Next time I'm just going to order the burger combo with onion rings or zucchini and pat the up charge vs a full order for $10 and have way too much left over, but again, that's on me :) Up charges shown on receipt. Not too bad for the amount of food. read more

We stopped here because of the reviews. A quick in and out place for a good juicy burger. Fries were amazing! Menu was extensive. Burgers and Mexican food. Talked to a few regulars. This was the place to go. Over all happy with what we came for. read more

someone bought me a Double Cheese Burger, it was bigger than ANY burger Anywhere in a Normal Burger Chain and the BEST tasting Meat Ever !! Worth Every Dollar that was spent... Give It The Taste Test, and see... Dollar for Dollar, this is Worth Every Dollar.. read more

My family and i love their cheeseburgers and fries combos. They have gone up over time but their burgers are deff a 10/10 service is great and food is exceptional read more

I have been going here since a sophomore in high school. VJ's has great service, amazing, fast food, and everyone here is very friendly. They give plenty of fries when you order them, the burritos are huge, the burgers are some of the best, this is the finest example of a local restaurant. read more

This place doesn't need photos, it's a classic American neighborhood burger spot. We had a breakfast burrito and a western burger both were on par with my own local burger spot. Food was HOTTTT fries were still sizzling at the end of our meal. We came after a marathon shop at Walmart- totally hit the spot. Staff is kind and polite and most orders are pickup/togo we dined in and it was excellent! read more

My wife has been at City of Hope for A few weeks and while on my walks to get some fresh air I passed by this place and stopped in. Glad I did ! The food has been excellent ! The carne asada burrito was the best I've ever had ! The steak & eggs breakfast was amazing ! This is my regular place now while my wife is in the hospital. read more

Solid burgers and burritos! I ordered the bacon, potatoes, cheese and egg burrito and another without meat. Both were great tasting and large. I held the beans that came with the orders. Good quality tortillas. The double hamburger with cheese was also delicious. Ambiance-- okay. Places to sit inside and outside. Friendly staff... read more

I honestly regret coming here. The night crew is terrible, they don't pay attention to simple instructions at all. I specifically asked for no cheese on my burger and of course it still came with cheese. This isn't the first time either. On top of that, the food always tastes old, like it's been sitting around way too long. I've even gotten sick after eating here, which is completely unacceptable. If you're coming late at night, don't bother. Poor service, careless staff, and questionable food quality. Definitely not coming back never had a problem with Morning crew just night crew read more

Damn good smash burgers. I got the Socal burger and chili cheese fries and I was not disappointed. I ate so much it hurt read more

VJ's Burgers - Socal burger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Duarte, California

This is a good burger. It's a super hole in the wall burger place, and the driveway is kind of tough to get into during rush hour, but if you are looking for a burger and are around City of Hope, you should check this out. Everything is cooked to order, so it does take time for your food to come out. There are a couple of tables to dine in at or sit outside, but it really seems more to be a take out type of spot. I sat at the tables outside and it smelled a lot like asphalt because of all the trucks driving by and cars getting stuck at the train tracks/idling. Prices are pretty inexpensive, but do note that the burger patty is pretty thin (and it's not a smash burger kind of thin), so just buy a double cheeseburger, or some other option with 2 patties if you're looking for more meat. They also serve breakfast burritos all day, and have a special burger menu worth checking out. I ordered the breakfast burger which includes 2 patties, bacon, breakfast sausage, hash browns and an egg on a soft brioche bun and it was pretty awesome. Would happily return for more. read more

Friendly service from this spot that's sort of hidden from the street. The salsas were good, red was best imho. The Denver breakfast burrito had a fresh tortilla and excellent filling. It was simple and delicious. Nice portion too! read more

Check them out!! Stopped for traditional breakfast. Bacon and eggs w coffee and I was impressed by fluffy hash browns and house salsa. It's a Small business w good prices and avoid the $20 breakfasts everywhere but not here. It won't disappoint. Owner even checked on me to be sure I enjoyed my food. Give them a try and support them. read more

I just ordered the cheese burger, and honestly it was really good! Freshly prepared to order, and it was more then enough food even without fries. Service was great as well, glad this place is just around the corner from home. read more

Verdict: It's a solid offering for simplistic and uncomplicated food for any meal of the day. It fits in all the burger/diner spots that litter that landscape with names like Tom's, or Troy's with specials decorating the windows like tint. Price: $ Parking: small lot Ordered: Breakfast Polish Sausage breakfast sandwich ( $9.49) : I'd say this entry checks off the boxes for a decent breakfast sandwich except it did NOT have hash. Call me spoiled by my high school lunch truck that served the golden standard breakfast sandwich polish, but no hash on a breakfast sandwich is a dealbreaker. read more

Best breakfast burritos!!! I like to call in and pick up the burritos and it's quicker.

Great little hole in the wall for burgers, fries, tacos, or breakfast. They have a wide selection of Mexican fast food, too.

Came in today after a classic car show at the Irwindale Speedway (only a few minutes away). My kids and I had burger combos (with fries and drink) for $10each. The burgers and fries were delicious!! Great outside patio, friendly service and awesome food!! read more

This place is great, small, mom and pop shop, but great burgers, and sandwiches. The Fried Zucchini is awesome, they use big cuts of Zucchini, and great batter and crunch. Breakfast burrito, are huge and tasty, they come with beans, and not everyone likes that, so if you dont want beans , gotta let them know, I like beans so I like it. Small place, very little seating, so small group, works, if you get there and its empty. They have Orange Bang...enough said. Dragon Egg Approved. read more

I really like their avocado bacon cheeseburger with fries. Service is good and food is usually ready fast. Casual ambience, I get it to go.

Really good food. I I've that they open early so then I can get food before work they open at 7 am and close at 9 pm. There chili cheese fries are really good! read more

Cheeseburgers are very tasty. Clean establishment, and service is excellent. Highly recommend

Absolutely the best hamburger in Duarte, located next to the city of Hope you'll find one of the best burgers around. I don't know. Maybe it's the seasoning. Definitely won't be disappointed give them a try read more

Haven't dined in yet or been in the place, but a faculty member from school ordered a bunch of food for our group. The cheeseburger was super good, and the fries weren't very crispy but seasoned really nicely. Would definitely go here sometime to get myself a cheeseburger & fries again - Katharine read more

We are staying at City of Hope. Decided to splurge on burger and fries since diet will be restricted for 4-6 weeks. Saw the reviews and gave VJ's a try. We are so glad we did!. My husband had a double bacon cheeseburger and I had the avocado bacon cheeseburger. They were so delicious. We also ordered fries extra crispy and they were nice size order. These burgers are not small and the meals were very filling. Everything was made to perfection. It was so good that we went back the next day for two avocado,bacon, cheeseburgers, and fries before restriction of eating out. Its also just around the corner from City of Hope. Check this place out you won't be disappointed!! I also hear the fried zucchini is amazing! read more

I had a great breakfast pastrami burrito there, and my friend had a quesadilla, which was also very tasty

VJ's is just a classic the burgers and asada fries are good. Easy to order pickup over the phone.

Food was real good we only went there one time but food was real good and had big portions

My kid plays ball near VJ's Saturday mornings and the bacon breakfast burrito is reliably very good. Hope to try more off the menu in the future. read more

Business is clean, staff is friendly, food is delicious. Food was a little pricey, but well worth it. I will definitely come back here again. Ordered bacon, avocado cheese, burger, combo, and a cheeseburger combo, total was $27 and change. read more

Your everyday run of the mill diner spot. Food and service are great. Very limited seating. There's maybe a handful of tables inside and another handful outside but you'd be sitting next to a busy intersection and train crossing with lots of vagrants walking about. Highly suggest as a quick take out spot. And I recommend their special burger menu. Especially the breakfast burger. Very filling. Specialty burgers are stuffed to the max and all on top of brioche buns. Friendly and attentive staff. As long as I've even coming here never had an issue. read more

I decided to try this place during my work lunch. The location was easy to find and has lots of parking. I came in and ordered a hamburger special w/ grilled onions. I ate inside to cool down and enjoy my meal. Great customer service, they served my order to where I was sitting at. What kind of burger joints serve your food for you! The hamburger tasted amazing, lots of flavor. Patty wasn't too dry as well. I love their fries which had seasoning on it. While I was eating, they made sure to check how everything was. Reasonable price as well. Really love the food and service here, I would definitely trying this place out. I'll come back again. read more

First time here. Got a giant breakfast burrito for $11.75 not bad. That thing is stuff with ham, sausage, eggs, hash (potatoes), cheese and bacon. It was so big that I couldn't finish it. So delicious. Definitely coming back for the other item on the menus. Awesome customer from the nice lady. Got my food pretty fast since there was only one customer In front of me. I got my food to go but there are plenty of tables inside and outside for you to eat at. read more

This is a super casual burger joint. I've tried the breakfast burritos , the cheeseburgers , the tuna salad and the steak and eggs and everything has been tasty. I prefer their burgers to most main stream franchise burger spots . They have indoor and outdoor seating. I really like their outdoor seating when the weather is dreamy . If your in the area and you want that small town, burger joint taste, this place will do it for you. read more
