Delicious food and amazing staff/owner. A pillar of the community. Been coming here for over 25 years. Thank you for everything.

This place has been around at least 30 years. The food is real good the price is economical according to there large portions. Is family run. The staff is very friendly. They have burgers,Mexican food Chinese. Love there breakfast burritos. They have these large stake fries that are crunchy but soft in the inside. Over all the years I have eaten there never have I had a bad meal. Highly recommended! read more

Amazing place! This is a dive, hole-in-the-wall, only for the locals place. It's not Instagram-worthy. It's not something you'll blog about to however many followers you have, okay? This is great food at amazing prices. It has a little bit of everything - Chinese, Mexican, and American. I've never had a bad meal from here and I discovered it on a whim last summer. Been a regular customer ever since. You can't go wrong with the cheeseburger combo. It's delicious and filing. They do not skimp on the fries so be prepared to share. The fried zucchini is my absolute favorite and I order it just about every time. The patty melt is to-die for. So delicious and just so ooey-gooey. The bread is crisp, the meat is perfect, the onions and cheese are *chef's kiss*. Like seriously. Get it. Staff is absolutely wonderful and professional. Always smiling and in a great mood, even when they have long lines (and they usually do!). You really can't go wrong here. read more

I was looking for a great local burger dive, and this place checked all the boxes! I had the pastrami burger. Flavors were excellent. Next time I will go with the bacon cheese burger. The service was surprisingly good for this type of restaurant. They have a huge selection of food. I love simple lunch spots like this. read more

I would give FAIR OAKS BURGER 4 1/2 stars It's my favorite go to (quick takeout) restaurant. I love the potato tacos which are hard to find and I also love the chow mein. They have a wonderful variety of foods to choose from. The ambience is clean and basic! The ladies who work there are very friendly and nice, I would definitely recommend Fair Oaks Burger read more

My favorite place, anytime I'm coming around this area I stop by in this place. They have the most amazing fresh food ever. Price is reasonable a d food taste is great. Try this place you read more

Fair Oaks Burger - Burgers Near Me - Altadena, California

This is THE spot to go to for burgers and fries in Altadena. This is probably my 4th time back. I haven't tried their wonderfully diverse menu, but will come back for that soon. This trip, we had a Fair Oaks Burger and Avocado Burger... both of which were so solid with great flavor. The veggies were fresh and crisp and balanced well with the bun and patty. Got my onions grilled and wife got them raw. Chili cheese fries and steak fries were money. Please be patient inside and at the drive through. They are a hard working crew trying to make it happen for us Altadenean residents. This ain't no fast food joint. It's a classic mom and pop that is doing it right. Thank you Fair Oaks Burger! read more

Still making delicious food. Had the superb avocado burger today and it was just as good as I remembered. Noticed some expanded menu items; definitely want to try their Thai Curry and their fried mushrooms & coleslaw. read more

Fair oaks Burger is a staple of the Pasadena/Altadena burger places. It is small in size but big in portion and taste. They serve a variety of choices from breakfast with Turkey options ! To lunch and dinner combos. I usually will get a cheeseburger combo with grilled onions and avocado you can add a fried egg if you like . However my favorite is the fried rice and chicken chow mien option! It is a huge portion and delicious. Packed with veggies which I love. To drink you must try the special Goddi drink. To describe the taste is an Orange creamsicle. You cannot get it anywhere else! It's delicious. read more

I love Fair Oaks Burger! They have variety of food in their menu, they also have specials. My favorites are Fair Oaks Burger (the best!) , clam chowder (lots of clams!) , Kimchi fried rice! read more

Fair Oaks Burger - Fish Taco Plate - Burgers Near Me - Altadena, California

Are you kidding me? This place is a hidden gem in Beautiful Altadena. The food is incredible, fresh.lively and priced really fair. My favorite (when it does not sell out) for the Asian food is Thai Yellow Curry and rice and you can get it with protein (Chicken) or without. It is actually two meals for the price of 1. My kiddo loves the double cheeseburger combo with fries and a drink! From the Mexican food the potato tacos are to die for and the Breakfast Burrito is not only awesome but enough for 2 people. They also do catering (we had a birthday party catered by F.O.B.)- The people that own it are lovely and really accommodating. There is a area to sit inside and outside but the drive through window is the best after a hard day at work or if you just want to grab a quick and delish lunch on your lunchbreak. Honestly, there is nothing on the menu you can go wrong with...Unless you don't like food! LOL Just do your self and your family a favor and GO NOW! read more

I've been driving past this place for over a year and I finally had to give it a shot. Don't want to get out of your car? Don't worry, they have drive thru! They have a very extensive menu, which I appreciate. From Mexican, American to even Chinese!! I was a bit hesitant about how big the menu was, but after trying a variety of the items, I was satisfied. The owner is amazing. She's there every time I go. Such an excellent worker, and her customer service is phenomenal. Burger: 4/5 Fries: 2.5/5 Service: 5/5 Quickness: 5/5 read more

Fair Oaks Burger - Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Altadena, California

Pretty cool spot for elevated fast food! The burgers were pretty spot on with In'n'Out and the chowmein (LOL) tasted fresh. Personally I'm not a huge fan of wide steak fries since they tend to be less crispy than normal burger or crinkle cut fries, so that's my only gripe. Seems like a great family owned spot. The woman taking our order seemed so friendly and even gave our dog some yummies! read more

Fair Oaks Burger is the best hamburger ever!! Excellent BLT. Excellent chicken and waffles. Wonderful vegetarian tacos (3 varieties). What can I say --good ingredients will prepared by personable staff! read more

10/10 Fair Oaks Burger Combo, definitely recommend. Family owned place. Super friendly staff and lots of food choices. read more

Fair Oaks Burger - Fair Oaks Burger Combo - Burgers Near Me - Altadena, California

Friendly service. Convenient drive through. Extensive menu with American, Mexican and Chinese food. Loved the burger and spicy combo fried noodle. read more

See all

Great Price, love the Fair Oaks Combo. Fresh ingredients fries are served hot never cold.

I have lined in the neighborhood since 1986 and Fair Oaks Berger has always been good. The sisters who run it now are delightful and have been running the business their parents started for many years. Their menu is American, Chinese and Mexican, and nothing disappoints. We have friends and family that will drive up from Alhambra to meet us for dinner there. For a casual inexpensive meal, Fair Oaks Burger is top notch. PS. I love the teriyaki beef tacos! read more

Everything excellent as usual. Hoping that they can rebuild or relocate as soon as possible.

Their food was really delicious.. the fried rice, nachos was really good. I would recommend those two item. I forgot to take some pictures.

Awkward drive-through process but delicious food and great value. I recommend the burger and burritos. The tacos were alright. I'll definitely come back read more

Everyone was right! Get the Fair Oaks burger. Came here about 6pm and waited in the drive through for about 15 mins. It was worth it. The lady who took our order was super nice and packed a bag of chicken for our dog who was peeping out our window. We ordered 2 burgers and Chilli cheese fries. The burger had bacon, cheese, pickles, avocado and jalapeños. Bun soft and buttered just right with a light spread of condiments. The chilli cheese fries were really good too, but wish I asked for jalapeños. The chilli was comparable to the Hats. Will be coming back! read more

Both the cheeseburger and the Fair Oaks burger were delicious. The burger patty was cooked perfectly. The onion rings were battered just right and the sweet potato fries were yummy. I'd definitely eat here again. read more

Fair Oaks Burger - Drive up menu. - Burgers Near Me - Altadena, California

Not normally given to exaggeration here, but this undoubtedly is the best restaurant in Calif, and would go every day, if not for them being closed Sundays. Menu has had all known hybrids of Mexican/Chinese/American fast food; some vegetarian-designer taco options; local-brand packaged pastries; now has added curry (excellent). Tasteful mural on drive-thru also. read more

Food is always good and made fresh! Never disappointed with anything I order! Good food, reasonably priced!

Amazing service! Greeter as soon as I entered with smiling faces. Expecting to pay over $35 and it was just under $30. So pricing is more than fair. Cool burger mural on the side of the building that caught our eye. Inside is simple, not a big dining room area. So you might want to take out. Ordered the bacon avocado cheeseburger. One with a side of fries and another with a side of fried zucchini. The food was beyond great! Fresh ingredients, seasoned juicy meat with a nice little layer of char. The fries were these gigantic steak fries that were fried extra crispy. The zucchini fries were legit cut-up and battered with something they have in house because I've never tasted anything like that before. If you guys do your onion rings like that. Sign me the f up! Overall: Please give this establishment your money. Keep them open so they may continue to provide the community with yummy food. read more

I've driven past this place for many years. I've been missing out. A friend told me that they have a good burgers and great fried rice. It's true! The beef fried rice is to die for. Thin slices of beef lots of veggies. I look forward to trying other options as well as breakfast. I recommend ordering ahead if your getting takeaway. The drive through will require patients. Apparently,you can eat in as well. Very casual dining. Great mom and pop place . read more

Altadena would starve without FOB. The only burger joint with curry. The only burger joint you need.

Will definitely come again! My daughters loved the fries. Clean and friendly. Great service. Hard working peeps!

Decent pricing for decent food but fast and quick service when it's not toooooo hectic during the lunch hour.

Tried Fair Oaks Burger for the first time today. It's been on my list for a while. I was VERY satisfied with my cheese burger, add grilled onions. For $5 this burger is fantastic! I recently had a $10 cheese burger at The Stand, and I'd say the Fair Oaks burger was just as good or better for half the price. I also tried the chili cheese fries. They were good, well-made, but I wasn't a fan of the fries or the chili seasoning. I won't have that again. The service was great. The woman running the register was very quick on the uptake and the ordering went very smoothly. She even brought my food out to one of the outside tables. I will definitely try other items here and will update my review. Update: I had another cheese burger here today with grilled onions, sub 1000 island for mayo. It was really good again! I liked everything about it. I'm amazed how good the burger is for $5. I planned to try something else from the menu, but the burger was so good last time I had to see if it was a fluke. It wasn't. I'll be back when I'm in the area. read more

I love this place! The women owners are so hard working and kind and they always remember their regular customers. I love the fish burger and their steak fries are perfect! I also love both veggie tacos they have. It's so friendly and quick. You can order online and pick up 10 minutes later. read more

A place I go to for home-cooked food when I don't feel like cooking! Been a tasty place forever!

I must say, I always wanted a local burger spot like Fair Oaks Burger in my neighborhood, (Im from San gabriel) just because the service and food is very good overall. The owner is amazing, she works very hard just like her staff. I don't come across often with an owner who works just as hard as her staff. This must he the reason why her food is delicious. By the way, This Burger joint sells more than just Burgers and fries. They have American Chinese dishes, Mexican american dishes, Salads, and breakfast! Ill take some pics of the food options below. I say if you've never been here try it, especially if you live in the Altadena/ Pasadena area. I do deliveries as well and many of their customers only have positive things to say about their service and food. If I'm wrong tell me about it, I bet I pretty right. read more

Fair Oaks Burger - Burgers Near Me - Altadena, California

Always the best food and customer service. They also remember you when you come back. Nice friendly place ... highly recommended

Simple and comforting food for a good price. Plus you get to support a local family owned business.

This is your quintessential dive and conveniently near my house. With the right friend in tow, I'd come up from Pasadena for lunch. There is a drive up window, a few tables inside, and at least 4 big tables outside. Service was excellent and friendly. There are burgers, Mexican food and Chinese food. I had 2 of the teriyaki chicken tacos and I really enjoyed them. One of my friends had the Chinese Chicken salad, he liked it other than the fact that it was missing mandarin orange slices. Another had a burger and seemed quite happy with it. read more

Love stopping here after a hike! An awesome local mom and pop restaurant with delicious food ranging from American, Mexican, and Chinese! The ladies who work here are so nice and provide great customer service to the point where they start walking up to the cars in line at the drive thru to take orders personally to help with the congestion a bit. The wait can take a little time but that is because they are making all the food fresh for every order which I appreciate! Love their fries and chow mein! And my husband is a big fan of their chili cheese fries! read more

Food was amazing and inexpensive for 3 got 3 burger combos with 2 upgrades to cheese fries for about $40 which is a steal in today's economy. Service was excellent the owner was friendly and extremely accommodating to the allergies in our party. And the vibe was immaculate, the music, the friendliness of the staff and their familiarity with their clientele. read more
