Was excitied to try out after the recent remodel..sad enough it was not worth it!!!..ordered zucchini chilli cheese fries some burgers and some taquitos..the zucchini tasted old and were very soggy which should not have happened since we ate there. The burgers were very bland, after 1 bite it was falling apart. Chilli cheese fries was a big thumbs down. The lady that took our order was very nice and welcoming, she was the total opposite of the lady that brought the food to our table, never smiled, no hello, just said this is complete order right?..i said no since we are still missing 2 items..will definitely not be going back read more

Great pastrami sandwiches with the best fries. This place has been opened since forever and each time I'm in town I go there for the pastrami and fries combo. Fattening and delicious. read more

Went there yesterday. Ordered a crew things. The issue was with a double cheese burger combo and a cheese burger combo. The double was no mayo and no tomatoes. The cheese burger was no onions. Picked up order. Checked it real quick thought I had everything went back to work. Found out they only put the cheese burger in the bag but they charged me for a double cheese burger. The other mistake was that the cheese burger was made how the double should've been made. They charged me for a double but gave me a single. I called them to tell them they said I could come by and they would give me another patty to put in the burger that I had and I could pay for another burger (the missing one) so now I have to drive back and forth again and spend another 49 minutes out of work for thier mistake? Wow. My co worker went and fixed the issue but only after much arguing. The lady on the phone that I was talking to said she was the manager. Horrible customer service. read more

I really used to like this place However the customer service has really went down!!!! Drive thru is at least 15min ( I couldn't back out due to other cars in line )when you walk in no one speaks! I really love to support small buisness. But Golden Eagle in Long Beach is much better. Faster service and pleasant!!! read more

Stopped by this morning for a breakfast burrito on the way to work. Order Egg and Cheese burrito and menu board says 4.75. Get to window and and charged over $8.00. OK. Not going to complain. Maybe I misread sign. Waited about 5 minutes. Get to work and the burrito has no seasoning. Bit into burrito and got a mouth full of mushy potato with no salt. Keep eating and get to the egg. Again no flavor and a big pocket of melted cheese....no flavor! I understand that you are cooking for the common denominator...mayne most people do not like their food salted, but for 8 bucks? I want some flavor. Asked for salsa on the side and surprise no salsa. First time here. Last time here for breakfast. read more

Our Kids love Yellow Basket....They have Good Food & Great Service. Very nice and Friendly staff.

Delicious tacos and sopes, very soft and the meat is perfectly cooked and tender not that burned meat

Usually this place is cool with good quality food but as I was enjoying my egg burrito this morning, I found a big piece of HAIR inside and pulled it out of my burrito. This is unacceptable at this time of a COVID-19 pandemic. Please be more sanitary and make sure hair nets are worn. Don't know if I'ma come back :/ read more

I remember the yellow basket here growing up, my Grandpa would always order the pastrami sandwich...sadly the remodel and visit here tonight was nothing special. Friendly service, okay food...and a REALLY LONG wait in the drive thru for some chili cheese fries...would I come back though, most likely if the drive thru is empty... read more

Used to be my favorite burger joint, now I'm going to avoid at all cost. And it's solely because of their customer service. The mexican lady that works the window with the dark hair is fucking it up for this establishment and you'd do better if you let her go. She's disrespectful to say the least. She over charged me once before and today she gave me my food and slammed the window in my younger sisters face. Take your money to Teds Burger, the food and service is the best in the South Bay. read more

we usually eat from here at least 2-3 times a week but after today I will no longer support this business. Because the business is in my area tried to call to explain how greasy the food was and just give them a heads up so they can correct with the next person. The girl that answered the phone not listening and basically said it is what it is until she worked me then she offer to replace my meal which I didn't want. read more

12 Dollars for a breakfast burrito, figured the prices were gonna go up with all the recent remodeling,but their burrito was not good enough for that price. Plus they messed up on my order. read more

Food is delicious, staff is friendly and they haven't made any mistakes in our drive through orders all the times we have been here.

I have been here a few times and they serve breakfast and burgers. Good food, fast and friendly service. This morning we witnessed something awesome: Homeless person walked in and asked for water and they offered something to eat - he replied he didn't have any money and they said it was on the house. We are customers for life now. read more

In the mood for breakfast burritos so I gave this spot a try. Also wanted French fries, even though the burrito comes with hash browns. I got the 3 meat burrito which came with bacon, ham and sausage, eggs & hash browns. I opted for no salsa. The burrito was nice and big but lacked a bit in the seasoning department so I added ketchup for a quick fix. The fries were fresh and crispy. The order was for takeout so I ate most of the fries on the way home. Burrito was still hot when I got home after about a 10 minute ride. read more

Another one of those hood "greasy-spoon" shops. Restaurants like these make Los Angeles what it is. Make no mistake, this spot is in the hood. The decor of the restaurant is super antiquated; there is a early 2000's retro feel to it. Despite this place being a hole-in-the-wall, the food is amazing and ample in portion size. I ordered the Tuna Salad which was a medley of a boiled egg, romaine lettuce, garden salad and other blah-blah. In short, the salad was amazing. I will be returning here several times. read more

Avoid this place, menu has changed, how can a place run out of bacon and sausage for breakfast burritos, go to Fantastic burgers or Carson Burgers instead of this place. read more

horrible...too expensive for a cheese burger special $12.00 that's insane please and it was not good only thing that was good was the pink lemonade read more

It's my opinion that these little burger joints shouldbe judges by their breakfasts. Burgers themselves tend to be identical, so the real proof is what these guys dobwith fresh ingredients -- eggs. Now, the Yellow Basket's scrambled eggs -- yes, plain ol' scrambled eggs -- are insane. They taste like they are half butter. Which isn't to say they're bad...just make me feel like I'm shortening my life when I eat them. Same goes for the bfast burritos. They are awesomely loaded with goodness. And the bacon is nice and crispy. And oh the cheese. It's really good. And huge. But again. It makes my heart hurt in 20 years. But hey if you got soft arteries and a low cholesterol level, go for it. read more

Went to drive thru at 8:25pm on thursday. Guy who was cooking wasnt paying attention gave is burnt patty and burnt bread. I am attaching a picture. Dont ever come here!!!!! read more

Was hungry and was close to the customer that I was visiting. I opted for the two hard shell taco with drink special. The shell of the taco was actually pretty crispy but the meat was a little bit salty for me. This place has been there since the 50's. read more

Its a hit and miss. at times my order is correct fully and other times they make a mistake on the details on my order. for example i ordered a wet carne asade burrito which was right but i order another carne asada burrito with rice and no beans and no cheese and when i got home it had no rice but had cheese and beans. i called and with no problem they made it up but the problem is i was Mad at the fact i drove home to make another trip.... i like this place cuz they have potential and excellent food but hope they prevent future mistakes read more

I hit up this place because I happened to be in the area with a couple guys for work. It looks like a total dive and it is. But who doesn't love a good dive restaurant. I got the daily special, which was a hamburger, fries, and a drink and it cost me less than $5! Where can you get that these days? You can't even get that at McDonald's. And these burgers were pretty good size too. Not some tiny burger that's been steaming for 30 minutes under a lamp. Eat here. read more

I liked the yellow basket in gardena, so when I moved to carson and saw this one down the street, I thought I'd check it out. I've only been about 5 times in 2 years. Customer service was always meh. The girl cashier with glasses never looks happy. The place looks old and rundown. Sticky, dirty tables and no trash can. Really. Too lazy? Food is mediocre now. Got stale fries last time. Try teds burgers down the street on main and 220th. Really good char-broiled burgers and friendly staff! read more

Today I bought a large chili cheese fries and damn they were greasy than a can of oil, the wait time was 20 minutes in the drive they and they didn't even close my chili fries correctly. Their chili fries were never that greasy I don't think I will eat there agai. Staying with Toms read more

Been coming here for years, the food is pretty consistent for the most part, which I like. The more traditional food items are good: burgers, sandwiches, breakfast dishes, etc. The prices are very reasonable. Today i brought my sister along, we had a craving for pancakes. We both ordered the special of 3 pancakes, 3 eggs, 2 sausage and 2 bacon and each had a side of hashbrowns, i had coffee she had Orange juice. It was a large amount of food for $22. I love over easy eggs, they cooked them up just right. Food came out fast and hot, coffee was good and hot. Overall its a good spot. I took away a star because of the customer service, they're always so serious and rarely smile, not very welcoming. read more

What a shit hole.. terrible food way overpriced unfriendly service.. this place looks like a total dump on the outside I don't understand how they're still in business.. I had been going to yellow basket since the 70s and have watched it decline over the years.. they need to close it down and let a fresh business make a new start. read more

I've been going to Yellow Basket since I was a little girl. Its gone through many many many a management change, menu change, and what not...and I think it's greatness has suffered. The burgers used to be crazy juicy, tasty, greasy--the kind that you're worried you might get a heart attack with. Served of course in a yellow basket, with heaps of fresh onion rings, french fries, and fried zucchini. But now, the menu is cluttered with everything from burgers to burritos, just really lost its focus somewhere along the line. The food now is average. Nothing too amazing about a regular burger and some okay fries. Service is still great and years later the furniture is still the same. Haha. read more

Morning crew girls are really cool. Owners cool. Awesome cooks. The number 2 breakfast pancake meal is great. Huge breakfast burritos anyway you want them. Chili cheese fries are my comfort food from this place. Have to eat them there so they don't get soggy. Good chicken breast salad if you are unsure about the place. read more

The fat girl in blue (manager) has a bad attitude we say thank you and she never answers. She has a bad mood when asked for stuff. NEVER GO HERE, BAD SERVICE AND THEY PRESSURE TOO MUCH read more

Always loved yellow Basket. First time I tried it since the remodel was a big disappointment. Onion rings were different and not good at all, burger had no flavor, chili cheese fries were ok but not how I remember, price was way to high and they tried to charge me for ranch. Sorry to say I will not be back. Looks nice though. Maybe they should spend some money on actually making good good read more

burger, fries, and a coke. don't bother me. i'm eating. they should re-film the carls jr. commercial here. well, that and, renaming it to "yellow casket" as many of the locals do. but don't be scared by the name......just make sure you've built up your tolerance for grease before you take the family here for a cheap eat. the breakfast burritos are pretty dang solid. the pastrami sandwiches.....make sure you've signed and dated your will, b/c if your arteries are clogged when you polish off one of these, you can expect your coronary will hit around 2pm......... i frequently go for the grilled chicken breast on wheat with french fries and a root beer. solid. not a small little chicken breast, but a nice one. all ingredients are fresh (lettuce, tomato....) and I've never been let down. NICE portions here.......and nice young, slender women serving the food as well. they must not spend their paycheck here.... i think one of the reasons i give this place a 4 stars is that this guy, who seems to be the owner, he sounds like he's from new york, is just incredibly friendly. always friendly, in a good mood, and i think they take pride in the food they make. it is a solid eating establishment in the carson area. recommended. read more

Why is this place called a Yellow Basket? I have never seen a yellow basket... But then again, I guess I always get my order to go. Went there with a friend a couple times. Average buger and fries. - nothing special, but pretty good. BUT, they have Gyro's! ((that got me there) - A Gyro & fries!! I always get that. The kids have had the burger, chicken tender things, and stuff like that - it is all average - But the Gyro is my favorite!! Good food, fast service & reasonable prices - It works for me. read more

3.5 Stars. *Review of the Pastrami sandwich only.* (well, the fries, too.) my future father-in-law is a big, self professed pastrami lover, as am i. the topic of the salted, peppered, brined brisket came up once and he asked, 'have you tried the Yellow Basket?' i had driven by a couple of locations before. from the outside it looked like a joint that i could go for; old school, tried and true with lots of history and character. i went a little crazy w/ the vodka saturday night so when i rolled by this place on sunday, i had to check it out. plus, my fiancee wouldn't eat this crap, so these dirty food adventures, i solo it. walked in and the place was kinda dirty, floors needed cleaning, but the place reaked of lard, grease and meats a cookin. some big firemen were waiting for their grub; good sign. got the pastrami sammy w/ some tomatoes. (comes w/ pickles and mustard, LOT'S of mustard. nice.) came w/ fries and drink for $7.99. the sandwich had a lot of meat. it was salty, fatty and cooked to a nice 'medium.' it was almost like a cured prime rib. it was pretty good. not as good as Johnny's Pastrami or Langers, but still tasty. the fries were standard fare but were nice and hot. if i could build a better sandwich w/ their meat, i'd get some different bread. it was too fragile to hold up the juicy meat and mustard. also, it was a bit too salty for my tastes. next time i'll check out some of the mexican dishes they have. read more

If you live in the area this is one of those local spots. been going here since i was kid, mainly for breakfast. Big portions for a not so big price. this is not a place you come if you want to eat healthy. lol I believe their breakfast is their specialty. If you're hungry for breakfast this is definately the spot. read more

This, along with many others like it has the regular run of the mill char-grilled style burgers, heaping amounts of wedge fries that are a bit over salted but fresh, and a beverage for: dirt cheap. The drive through sucks if you don't have a passenger with you, because the driver has to reach all the way to the passenger side to pay and get their order as it is on that side (WTF???) so be prepared for that. Either way- it is the typical burger shop found in and all around the county of Los Angeles. Decent but nothing spectacular. read more

The place looks sketchy but it has THE GREATEST BREAKFAST BURRITO... EVER! Add avocados and extra pico degallo to make it even better. I would give it 5 stars, but the other stuff they have isn't worth the grease. read more

Ordered a simple cheeseburger w no onions or tomatoes. Simple right? Took it to go so I can eat it on my way to work & I took one bite. Nothing but onions & tomatoes~smh. Since they chop the onions & the lettuce it was mixed together. Couldn't eat it so the only thing I can recommend is the fries since they didn't mess it up. So bummed since they're burgers smelled good. read more

They remodelled the restaurant but the PRICE also went up way too much for the area they are serving. I got a double cheeseburger combo and I paid about $12+ and the soda is cheap kind Sierra mist. They still wanted to charge me $.50 for ranch on the side on top of that overly priced combo!!!! We use to come here for breakfast but will avoid for now until they come to a sense that they are over priced and cashiers aren't too friendly! read more

Nothing pains me more than giving a lackluster review to a long-lasting independent burger joint. We all know they're disappearing from the LA landscape, so each one is to be cherished and nurtured. Unfortunately, at least as far as their burgers and fries go, Yellow Basket just doesn't seem to care. The burger was standard issue, flat and flavorless, frozen patty like you could buy at Smart & Final in bulk for a bunch of kids who won't know the difference. The bun was okay. The fries were lifeless. It was all by-the-numbers, as if no one cared. Perhaps the changing demographics mean that Mexican food is a better order. People seem to like breakfast quite a bit, but I'll never be down there at that time. Maybe it's worth another try for something other than a burger, but then it becomes just another Mexican food stop. Kinda depressing. read more
