    I have been hearing about this place for literally years and after their recent misfortune with a burglary I really wanted to show support so I decided to give them a try. It was a pretty awkward energy when I walked in... it was just the owners there, the man cooking and woman at the computer. Neither of them even looked up or acknowledged me for minutes as I stood there kind of in shock cause they were about 2 ft away from me... finally the woman looked up and asked if I was there for pick up and I said no and she didnt even listen, asking what the name was lol I tried to just blow this off and placed my order, waiting about 10 mins cause they had a lot of mobile orders. Once I was home I was excited to eat, but was so disappointed with the quality. The meat was cheap, bun burnt, dry and super salty with not much to it. Im not trying to bash them when they're down, but I cant deny that this was a really underwhelming experience. I hope they can take notice of these little details and become the place that ive heard so much about once again.

    Came in haven't been to burger basket in ages. Asian lady was friendly and helpful. Burger had a good char on it and tasted like a good old fashioned cheeseburger came with nice crisp large fries but not steak fries and a drink for $14. Small burger spot that was bright and inviting.

    Cheeseburger with Fries

    Looks unassuming on the outside but once I finally decided to try Burger Basket, it became my go-to burger place in LA! I literally can't go anywhere else anymore! Their burgers are cooked fresh and have a super good, umami flavor with plenty of veggies. I love their fries too! There is an option to order ahead by phone to save time. The staff are always super nice and friendly. Free parking lot. Highly recommend you come check this old, family-run restaurant out!

    Fries drenched in oil
    Christina X.

    This place used to be so much better a few years ago. The bun was burnt, and the tomato was about five times thicker than the meat patty -- no exaggeration. And the fries... my goodness. They were absolutely drenched in oil. My heart's still racing after just a few bites, which tells you how bad that oil must have been. You can see from the photo how soggy and greasy they were. For prices comparable to In-N-Out, the least they could do is use fresh oil. Sadly, I won't be coming back.

    Double Cheeseburger, Corn Dog
    Nate P.

    Old school burger joint with great food. Prices were nice and the two owners were great. It's a small spot but easy to take your food on the go if there's no space. I got a double cheeseburger with fries and a corn dog. Everything was just right. Corn dog was crispy and fluffy at the same time and the burger was a classic. Good honest food for a decent price. Like I said there isn't much room to sit but they get your order up and out quick and they make it all in front of you. Parking is a little tight but there's plenty on the street around.

    Exterior- typical urban LA style lol

    A family owned burger spot that's been around for almost 60 years and is a bit under the radar - with a simple menu and very reasonable prices. The fries were perfect and service was so friendly we felt like we knew everyone. They were so friendly in fact that my hubby asked me when we left "did you know them?" lol! We were craving burgers and both went with double cheeseburgers and some fries to share. They made our order fresh on the spot too which I really liked. And it's an open concept kitchen so you can watch them while they cook. The small fry portion is quite generous and more than we could finish between us. They were delicious- perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. Definitely very excellent fries here. Our burgers were ok - the meat and buns were delicious- great flavors and very nicely grilled. Their thousand island sauce is good too. But the lettuce was very soggy and wilted - I had to take it off my burger. And the cheese they use had a strong flavor similar to the prepackaged Kraft American slices that I really dislike. If they had used fresh lettuce and a better quality cheese those burgers would've been amazing. The restaurant is definitely a bit divey and if it wasn't for the "A" health score, I probably wouldn't have given it a try - the seating area is in need of a serious deep clean and the chairs need to be replaced badly lol. But their prices are insanely inexpensive- especially given our current levels of inflation lol. They're located in a very busy spot with plenty of easy parking and they're easy to find.

    French fry with ketchup! Yum. This is why i like having a ketchup squeeze bottle.

    A nice local burger joint. Got a pastrami cheese burger (was the daily special, not sure if it's always available) It's a cheeseburger topped with pastrami. It's not the best iteration of a pastrami cheeseburger that I've had, but it gets the job done. Had a thick slice of tomato and hand leafed lettuce. Came with french fries and a pickle. The french fries were of standard quality and satisfying enough. There was a ketchup bottle to use so I had no problem keeping the flow of ketchup consistent on my fries. The service was on the slower end but it wasn't horrible or anything, but could have been a one off. I would be prepared for a wait if I saw a lot of folks chilling around. The service was very polite and welcoming, so as long as I wasn't in a rush, I wouldn't mind giving them a few more minutes. Venue is very small, a little cramped almost. I think most people would prefer to sit on the tables outside or just take the order to-go. The seats are cracked so it definitely looks kind of old and run down, but the food is fine. Given this place's location, I'd probably compare it to Jim's further down the street. Jim's might be a better option in a vacuum but if I were approaching from the east I'd probably stop here for food instead of going all the way.

    Teriyaki cheeseburger with fries

    This location has been around for many years It a husband and wife owned business It was pretty busy when I went in for the first time . I went for lunch and had the fish and chips and order a corn dog, teriyaki burger The lady at the counter sweet and helpful . Corn dog was surprisingly good the batter tasty . Fish was a little to extra friend for me ,coleslaw was excellent . Hard to find a good coleslaw. Enjoyed the teriyaki sauce on the burger ,French fries to extra crispy for me. Inside seating extremely small Best to order food to go. Next time will try a cheeseburger

    Old fashion pastrami
    Henry L.

    Authentic 80's food truck pastrami with plenty of pickles and mustard! Generous portion! Today's bread seems soft. Hope next time be more crisp. Pastrami flavors are always great! Soda refill $1.00 . Friendly service and old fashion burger joint interior.

    This is a small burger place in the 626 area. I did not realize of this place after living here for 4 years. There is a small parking lot. They have their A/C on in the cold weather. Because of that, we order our burger to go. We ordered a double cheese burger with fries. I used the Yelp check-in offer for a cheese burger, and a side of fries. The cheese burger is decent to me. The patty was cook perfectly. However, the fries was a bit disappointed. They were soggy. Thank you for the check-in offer. I am grateful. When I ordered the food, the chef was standing by to get the order ready. He was wearing chef uniform. This shows his dedication and respect for his job. I will come back again to try their fish and chip.

    #2 Double Cheeseburger with Fries and 20 oz. Soda

    Have been coming here for years, just because of how amazing the food is and how friendly the staff are! Food - I typically order a double cheeseburger with fries well done. With the fries well done, it just tastes so much better. You guys need to try it! The burger is so flavorful and enough to keep you full. Service - always fast, attentive and so friendly. The employees are always working so hard and they will always greet you with the biggest smiles. They have other things like fish and chips which I also would like to try out in the future. Ambiance - it's more of an older building with few tables inside and I believe 2 patio tables. I have never dined here before but I can tell you that the employees have always been so sweet to me. I may try to dine in sometimes

    Order through delivery app. The fish & chips were alright, fish was deep fried nicely. Crunchy batter. The pastrami sandwich had too much pickle so it was way too sour.... The burger didn't look too appetizing, thin patty.

The food here is over priced and lacking taste. The pastry they use for their pot pies and sweet pies is like eating card board. Don't get me started about their use of canned vegetables and what appears to be powdered potatoes, and if they are not, congratulations on recreating powdered potatoes while using real ones. I'm guessing there are a few nursing home residents who enjoy them. Finally for choosing their restaurant to spend your hard earned money in, they reward you with a 3% charge when you use a credit card, which restaurants have always absorbed as a courtesy to the customers who choose their restaurant to eat at. I've worked in the restaurant industry for over 50 years. When you start nickel and dimming your customers every time they eat at your restaurant, when you are already treating them to the cheapest food products, let's face it, are you actually still in business? Sorry, but we are done with this place!

We came here around 5:30PM and the traffic to get to Shrimp House was pretty bad. Found out that you can enter from Myrtle and from Live Oak. We were on Myrtle and went onto Live Oak thinking that was the only entrance.. that was a mistake due to the backed up traffic during the time. When we got there, we were seated at a table. It was pretty crowded, full of older people. The guests were friendly and seemed to be regulars of the place. When the waitress came to us, she took our order. We ordered: Popcorn Shrimp - Loved this sooo much! Reminds me of Sizzler. Popcorn shrimp was hot, fresh, and had a crispy batter! The actual popcorn bedding added to the theme :) 9/10 Ceviche - We got the Mexican style and it was good. Not as good at Kickin Shrimp, but it was a good appetizer to start with. 7/10 Clam Chowder - This clam chowder reminds me of Sizzler's clam chowder. It was creamy and thick, and had a few bits of clams. 7/10 Grilled Seafood Sampler - The fish was nice and flaky. Very flavorful with the seasoning that they used. The shrimp was nicely grilled. We were not a fan of the bell pepper that was on the skewer that bled into the shrimp itself. The flavor was a bit intrusive considering shrimp already has a light flavor. Finally the scallops were a pass. Just grilled, nothing amazing. 7/10 overall Shrimp Scampi Linguine - Not sure what the hype was about, but this was the most forgetful dish I had here. The linguini was a bit soft/overcooked, the fettuccini sauce was thick and not too cheesy, but more creamy, if that makes sense, and the shrimp was just shrimp (possibly the grilled shrimp) and was just drowned in the fettuccini sauce and lost any natural flavors it would've had. 3/10 Chocolate Lava Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream: Out of the disappointing Shrimp Scampi Linguini, the Lava cake made up for it. We do not usually get dessert, but we were sure glad we got this. Similar to the pazooki from BJ's, but a hot choco cake instead. I can do without the whipped cream though, since I don't like it too much. 8/10 Overall, this place is a small, quaint place for seafood. The appeal is the hometown feel, friendly service, all while providing good, affordable seafood.

There were plenty of open tables, but I was told I couldn't sit because online orders weren't considered "dine-in" and that seating was reserved so staff could make tips. That explanation didn't make sense and honestly made me feel unwelcomed as a paying customer. I was really looking forward to my meal, and the interaction completely killed the vibe. If you plan on eating here, I would recommend ordering in person to avoid any confusion. I'd also suggest the café clarify this policy, because the inconsistency took away from what would have otherwise been a great experience.
