Burger Point

This place is a Los Angeles legend…read more It's not even about giving it five stars--it's about telling people that if you want to try one of the best burgers in Los Angeles, this is a spot you absolutely need to 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.

Sketchy ATM i wouldn't use. They have pay machine when you order inside.

I used to hate going here but it is so close to me and easy when I want my taco bell fix, but the last 3 times the ladies I got were pretty great. The service was fast, the order was correct (because I get everything with only meat and cheese and tbh that gets screwed up non stop), the lady inside was nice and although the drive thru lady rushes you, she was nice as well, got my order done right and asked twice if it was correct and what sauces I wanted in the bag so it was all ready upon paying. I rated it 3 stars based on that if you get the wrong employee or it's busy then it all goes south. At least so far I don't get hit up for money at this one like you do non stop at the firestone and long beach one when trying to dine in... so uncomfortable

The ambiance is not welcoming, dining area is marked off with yellow tape, so there is No where to sit. It gives off very much take your food and go vibe, which was disappointing as my friend and I were looking to dine in. Customer service is lacking. Onion rings were mediocre at best. If you want ranch to go with them, there is a $1.50 charge. Fries are nothing special. I'd go again for a burger only I would want to enjoy at home. I paid $20 for the food shown.

So my boyfriend and I drove from Bellflower to SG just for that sandwich. It was raining and the drive thru looked busy, but it was moving fast. My boyfriend does not like waiting in drive thrus, so we went inside to order, we noticed the indoor eating area was closed. We ordered and decided to eat in the car, which I honestly enjoy because it reminds me of being younger and eating in the car when you had nowhere to go. I got the tuna sandwich special which comes with fries and a drink, he got the tuna melt special, and we shared some onion rings. Our 'to go' orders were packed neatly and came with thousand island for the fries and even the yellow chilies my boyfriend loves. Everything was tasty and the service was quick! I would definitely come back just for that tuna sandwich special.
