    This spot used to be ELITE, but it looks like it's falling thru the cracks. The burger was decent, not good, just decent. The seasoning of the fries were solid, so can't complain there. My soda was 99% ice and 1% soda too! 4 healthy sips and it was gone. However, the service kind of rounded out the experience for me and killed it. I ordered 3 hamburger combos which came out to around $32 give or take. After ordering, I sit down outside, which the floor is super slippery, and I see that a combo pack for 4 is $28??? Now I didn't need 4, but wouldn't you, as the establishment, mention that I could save some money and get more for less? That rubbed me the wrong way, but whatever. What used to be a Compton staple has seriously went downhill.

    It says Drive-In, but it's impossible to drive in at this location. When you go into the drive-in way, the window is not open and no one is available to take your order. When you pull up to the Drive-In menu and speaker, there is no one asking you what your order might be. When you pull around the drive-in speaker, you realize there is no Drive in, as there's no way to get out. Why is it called a drive-in restaurant? I had a minute, so I walked up to the window. Be careful not to park near the wall, as it smells like pee. I almost got right back in my car and went somewhere else. However, I was hankering for a full breakfast under $5--you know, like the corner joints make. So upon approach, I found an elderly man with a clean kitchen awaiting my order. He took my order and I thought I would see him cook on the front grill. He went to the back grill, behind the wall I could not see. He reappeared what's the veggie omelette in a bowl ready to pour on grill. The omelette have so many vegetables in it oh, I could not taste the egg. While I waited for my omelette, another young man order fries to go and received them. Another gentleman ordered a burger and fries , and his was readying, as mine was. The place was impeccably clean. The front kitchen was clean, the hallway kitchen was clean, the outside patio was clean...

    Found this spot on Yelp this past Saturday, 05-23-26. Was headed home from the barbershop but I…read morehadn't eaten all day and I began looking for the nearest happy hour spot. Couldn't believe what I saw on both Yelp and Apple Maps, 4.8 stars and over 100+ reviews and this spot is in Compton, my city. Didn't even know a spot like this existed. Busted a u-turn going down Alondra so I could go back to Atlantic then make that right and slide to Compton Blvd and make that left. A few streets from there on your right side you'll find boulevard gastropub. Sitting next door to some other business which is right next to a big parking lot which is free by the way. I've parked in this lot at least a couple of times just to go to that taco truck and never noticed gastropub. Immediately when I walked in it was good vibes and the sense of a good atmosphere. I was greeted by the owner and a young lady who was the bartender. The owner is real cool. We had a short conversation I shared with him how I discovered his business and informed him I do reviews as well as post some content on my social media platforms in hopes of businesses receiving more attention and customers. Unfortunately, due to them not having an alcohol or liquor license, some of their drinks such as the cocktails are more so wine based drinks. So please don't come here expecting to get some Don Julio or Hennessy. Ain't gone happen lol. I had a Classic Mojito and enjoyed it. The price was $10 which I found exceptional. The food was delicious. I recommend the Blvd Burger as a go to if you can't decide on anything else. I loved it so much I had to make a video. And definitely try the Voodoo Wings. You won't be disappointed. Just imagine buffalo wings with lemon pepper seasoning. Cuz that's what it is and they're fire. No bs with the ranch dressing too. I'm definitely returning for another visit. I can see this being a new frequent spot to pull up to and hang out. I love the ambiance, my drink, the food here and the customer service. All things to be considered when going out and spending money. What I spent was definitely worth the first time experience.

    At first glance, it looked like parking was limited to the street, but after calling, I found out…read morethere is a parking lot on the corner, which made things much easier. The restaurant itself is small but mighty, with a cozy feel and a menu that delivers. Everything is made to order, and they offer a rotating selection of local craft beers, which is a nice touch if you like trying something new. We ordered the spicy Korean wings, and thankfully they were not overly spicy, making them easy to enjoy. The real standout, though, was the Blvd burger. It was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their burgers. Overall, the prices were better than most places, especially considering the quality. Definitely worth a visit.

The food is outstanding, the portions are generous, and the burgers live up to the hype. What makes it even better is that you're not just getting a great meal; you're experiencing a piece of Los Angeles history. Places like this are becoming rare, and Hawkins House of Burgers has earned its legendary status. If you're a local and haven't been here yet, you're missing out. And if you're visiting Los Angeles, put this place on your list.

    I was in the neighborhood and wanted a burger. I made an online order to Hawkins since I saw a long…read moreline and I couldnt find parking. Checked in at 5-10min. They said order wasn't ready. Waited another 10min, while I saw other people picking up orders, so I checked in again. Same response, not ready yet. Another 10min passed by, now I'm seeeing people who came after me get their orders before me. Asked the staff again for my order status. The order pick up window person shouted my name to the kitchen each time I checked in. Finally the 3rd time they responded, they start arguing, apparently my order was done a long time ago, and it was given to someone else. It took 30min to figure out that my order had already been done and given to someone else because there was no communication between the kitchen, order staff or pick up staff. no apology, just got my food after the argument 3minutes later...Food was average, definitely not worth a 30min wait.

    WOOOOHOOOOO a wonderful experience!…read more Alright firstly is the food great, yes! It's a fast-food drive-in burger joint okay so let's talk about it. When I walked last night 15 minutes before close, no one was trying to rush me out and still asked if I wanted to eat there. This was delightful because usually people are completely poops about it. I wish I knew the young man's name who was the cashier he was so kind, outgoing, and just overall super bubbly and friendly. My had a small baby and I went in first to order and then went outside to trade with my husband so he could use the restroom as we waited for our to-go order. Without me sharing any thoughts with my husband the first thing he said when he got back is how supremely friendly the young man was and how he swears his attitude was contagious because he came out with a smile on his face. The food itself as mentioned was great. We took advantage on the specials for the double cheeseburger and the chicken sandwich. I know people will debate it, but I enjoyed the well seasoned and tasty breaded sandwich much more than In-n-out. The chicken sandwich tasted so high-quaity in comparasion to most fast food sandwiches I've ever had and priced so affordably. The entire resturant and the restroom were impicaly clean, the defintion of "sparkling clean". This location really has it together and the chose the right person to be in the front dealing with their customers. Truly a wonderful experience!

    Well need a lil dinner so our best friend and God mom of my daughter and my wife decided to dine…read moretonight. Well wasn't disappointed with 2 double cheese burgers made to order. Tasty and good as always, but the Chicken club sandwich was a disappointment. 2 pieces of chicken barely fit the bun with bacon. My wife doesn't squavel like I do. My first job was in food. But she said it was still good. If it's going to be the strips used for the Chicken club make them a bit larger at least sticking out the sandwich. Otherwise.... Place is clean and busy as always and counter staff as friendly and helpful as always Thank you for dinner
